“We had a fantastic experience with Emmanuel and will definitely entrust our golden retriever Gracie with him again! He helped us out on short notice for an overnight stay. He immediately built trust and communicated frequently while Gracie stayed with him. We are so glad we found him!”
“AJ had a blast at Tammey's. We felt very comfortable leaving him there, and her husband is great with dogs as well. AJ was well loved and we got great pictures and feedback while we were away. We'll definitely use her again!”
“We were traveling and planned a last minute stop in DC and Mount Vernon. Cameron was able to watch our Luna for 2 nights while we got to enjoy the city and not worry about Luna and the heat. Plus, Luna had other 4 legged friends to hang with. Would definitely recommend and thank you for taking great care of Luna.”
“Garrett, Ana and their family were so wonderful. They were very communicative and took care of our golden, Pretzel so well. Pretzel had the best time with their family! My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving pretzel with them. We will definitely book with them again!!”
“Rae is a kind and attentive person, and she made Oliver feel safe and comfortable during his entire stay. This was his first boarding experience not with family, and he had a good time. Will re-book!”
“Kelly was great and I felt comfortable leaving my pup with her. She was quick to respond to my request, to set up a meet and greet, and easygoing re: drop off and pickup. I will gladly book her again the next time I have a need.”
“I’ve been dragging my feet on leaving this review for one reason alone: I want to keep Elizabeth to myself! She is the best sitter I’ve been able to find on this app, and she is great at communicating both prior to a booking and during as well. My dog comes back happy and tired every time he stays with her and is always so excited to go back to her house. I trust her with my dog every time!”
“Brian, did a perfect job of taking good care of our Furby! Our boy felt right at home upon coming into his house. Brian and his wife keep up well with making sure the house is clean and dog friendly. There are many doggy toys and much room for any furry friend to roam. I love how quick Brian was able to respond to our last minute dog sitting and boarding request. He kept us posted and took beautiful pictures of my dogs stay. I will most likely use Brian to watch Furby again if ever we are in the area again. Thank you Brian and family for the memorable photos of u and Furby!”
“Dan and his family were the best caregivers for our dog! They took great care of him and Dan was really easy to communicate with. We will definitely be using him again!”

“Took awesome care of my German Shepherd! He got daily walks and play time outside, was even kind enough to send me photos daily so I knew that my boy was doing great. 👍🏼”
“Chelsea was wonderful with our senior dog, Nina. She sent lots of high quality photos and frequent updates. I could tell Nina was comfortable and had a great time. Highly recommend!!”
“Jennifer and Louis were very friendly and accommodating for me and my pup first overnight stay I was very nervous in the beginning due to it being my dog first overnight stay. I a new to the app and was looking for a playful friendly dog that my dog can stay and play with occasionally. We have found one thank you Jennifer and Louis for your hospitality pictures and videos everything went great!”

“Marlene took wonderful care of our dog while we were gone for 5 days. We appreciated all the pictures and could tell Zoe was having a great time! We would definitely book with Marlene again and recommend to others!”
“Nina was absolutely amazing while boarding my boy, Abe! She went above and beyond from the start — she even met me beforehand near my place since I don’t have a car, which was such a huge help. During Abe’s stay, she sent me tons of updates, photos, and the sweetest little stories about his day, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear she cared for him like he was her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Shane went above and beyond while caring for my dog for nearly 2 weeks, providing daily medication, updates and photos each evening, and even a pup cup with a “6” candle on her birthday. Shane was patient and kind to my dog who can run anxious - top notch, a true professional, I couldn’t recommend more. Thank you!”

“Sarah was fantastic at keeping me informed of each days visit and included a photo. When I return home, the cats were naturally happy to see me, but also looked well, fed and happy! The Kitty litters looked clean as well. Sarah even washed the dirty, feeding bowls and I plan on contacting Sarah the next time I go out of town!!!!?”
About: I've cared for cats through both drop-in visits and overnight stays, including caring for my sister's cats while she was away. I'm comfortable following each cat's routine and making sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime if they enjoy it, and plenty of attention, or space, if that's what they prefer. I know every cat has a unique personality, so I take the time to help them feel comfortable and safe in their own home. I'll provide dependable care, keep you updated with photos and messages, and treat your cat with the same kindness and attention I'd want for my own pets.
“Rachel took fantastic care of our cat Oreo while we were out of town for four days. She made sure Oreo was fed, her litter box was clean and played with her and showed her affection. We truly appreciated Rachel's quick communication style and regular updates.”
“Was flexible when there was an issue with booking of dates and communicative with us. Appreciate the photos and the care given to our sweet babes. I would recommend her services and use her again! Thank you!!”
About: I’ve had and loved pets my entire life! (I was convinced I was going to be a vet until I realized I would very likely sob every time a pet got sick.) From my black lab, Raven, to my cats Lily and Langston, to now, my long-haired chihuahua, Midge, animals are just a part of the day-to-day! Since age 12, I’ve been petsitting for friends, family, and neighbors (including overnight stays) and cared for dogs who are super energetic, playful, and independent to dogs who experience some anxiety and might need a bit more attention❤️! I also have experience caring for a bit older doggos. My black lab, Raven, lived to 16 and as her mobility and needs changed, I changed with her and it really taught me to be very attentive, gentle, and adaptive to a pets needs. I’m comfortable and experienced with walking, feeding, brushing, playtime, litter boxes, and loving and attention when pets want or need it❤️! So whether your pet is super energetic and playful or just wants a calm, reassuring companion, I’m happy to match their vibe and energy and make them feel loved and at home☺️🐾! I’m a rising junior at Virginia Tech and home for the summer, working part-time as a server in the Fort Hunt/Hybla Valley area. I have a super flexible schedule and lots of free time to spend with your pets, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or whatever else your pet might need😊! Mainly, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home with walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays! I make sure to stick to their routine, make sure they get plenty of playtime, attention, and exercise (or just hang out if that’s more their style!) I don’t usually host pets in my home, but I’m super flexible and want to make sure your pet feels happy and loved, and I’ll always make sure to send updates and pics📸🫶!
“I just got stuck in the whole dallas air traffic radar fiasco and Lori was great about taking on my cats last minute and late Friday night. Really appreciate how reliable she is and what great care she takes of my cats! She gives great updates and takes great pictures, even of my shyest cat.”
“Honestly the 2 nicest people you could ever ask to watch your cats. They were great with giving my cats their meds. I came home knowing they had everything taken care of at my house. They even picked up my mail.”
“Juan did a great job house sitting and taking care of our three cats while we were away on a long trip! We came home and the house was in great shape, everything we’d asked him to look after was taken care of, and our girls were happy and healthy. They also seemed way more chill than they usually are when we go away, so they must have enjoyed his company!”
About: Hi! I'm Ryan, a recent grad from West Potomac heading to the University of Virginia next year! I've been taking care of animals as long as I can remember, and I've had a strict schedule for my current dog (5pm feeding & 6pm walk) since we've had him (6yrs) ! I love all animals and I'm excited to take care of any animals that need it. Every day, as long as I can remember, I've had to feed and walk my dog at strict times in the afternoon as to keep a schedule for him. This makes it much less confusing and has him calm. I'll miss him at college, but I'm glad I can keep him on track while I'm here. Since I was young, my parents have always taught me to be on my best behavior in others homes. From taking shoes off at the door to refilling a dog bowl if I see it empty, I'll make sure that your home is even better than you left it.
“Lenny checked in with our two cats once a day for 2 weeks and we are so thankful for her. The girls seemed relaxed, well taken care of and happy when we got home. One day seemed a little tough on them and Lenny stayed way past her time to show them the love they needed. She kept us updated on everything and send lots of pictures which was much appreciated. Thank you so much!”
“Our cat Ella loved Elyse right away which doesn't always happen with new people. Elyse was very communicative , flexible, and so great to work with. She provided great updates while we were away which was really appreciated. Wouldn't hesitate to book Elyse again!”
“Carly has been so wonderful and reliable for our dog, Phoebe! She has provided weekly drop ins for a couple of months and one long overnight stay so far, which she extended a night on short notice for us. She provides us with consistent updates and communication and Phoebe is always a happy girl after each of her visits. We highly recommend Carly, she’s been one of our best Petsitters to date.”
“Grace took such great care of my cats, and they warmed up to her very quickly! My cats are notoriously messy, and she left things cleaner than when I left. I would definitely recommend and would trust her to catsit for me again.”
“Matthew was truly the best! He eased our worries from the very beginning and was incredibly communicative during each visit. Absolutely would recommend and book again 😇”
About: I have hands-on cat care experience from successfully fostering a litter of kittens through to independence, volunteering directly with cats at animal shelters, and spending two years managing cat adoptions at PetSmart. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, litter maintenance, socializing shy cats, and spotting signs something’s off health-wise.
About: I've had dogs all my life and currently have a 10 month old bernadoodle, 2 cats, and 2 little humans. I'm thoughtful and will treat your best friend with love. Let me help you fetch the best in pet care - reliable, trustworthy, and always tail-wagging approved! I'm available for drop-ins through the week and on the weekends. I'm also available to provide long or shorts walks through the week and on the weekend. I will make sure that pets have access to food and water at all times. I will also ensure that they receive attention and some play time.
About: Hi and welcome to our page! We are Clayton and Sarah - a husband-wife duo. We are pawrents to 3 special needs cats and Sarah is a registered nurse for humans. We also foster cats who often need extra TLC through an animal rescue. We have experience administering medication to cats and paying careful attention to any changes to their behavior/physical exam. We use fear-free techniques like squeeze treat bribery to accomplish the care that needs to occur. We have cared for cats with upper respiratory infections, constipation, FELV/FIV, and reduced appetite. We are experienced working with cats who have a range of personalities and behaviors (from scared to feisty to barely socialized). If your cat needs care that we don’t have experience with, we're confident we will be able to figure it out with you! We work Monday-Friday 8:30am-5pm. We are available to cat sit before and after our work hours as well as on the weekend or on holidays. We will visit your home and care for your cats as if they are our own. We know how stressful it can be to leave our cats when we are out of town, especially given their complex routine and medical peculiarities. If you share that concern, we want you to feel confident leaving your cats with their routine unchanged under our care. We are also happy to care for cats with less complex routines as well! We typically play with cats before their meal and then feed them. We also make sure their litter boxes are clean and refresh their water bowls. We like to hang out with cats after their meal for snuggles.
“We have a nine year old dog with anxiety. It takes several visits so she will remember someone one and warm up to them. Zoe has been amazing. She is always on time. She is patient and gentle. She was able to build trust with our dog so that I can now leave for a long afternoon and not worry.”

“Emmanuel was a superb caretaker for my senior pup with vertebral pain. I am grateful for the care he gave Ferby, especially on short notice, so that I could return to work at school. Ferby had a great day in his care!”
About: Mom of dogs, cats, birds, lizards and other animals looking to spoil more in my spare time. Can promise treats and lots of hugs if needed. Working as a researcher so the schedule varies a bit but is generally fairly free since I work from home and have a flexible schedule I have a fenced yard, but would prefer to see animal at clients house since my dog and cat get stressed at having their space invaded, unless it's by a well known friend
“Matt is awesome. He’s always extremely accommodating, responsive and friendly. He has a clear genuine love for animals and always takes amazing care of my dog Jack.”
About: I owned a dog for most of my life. My dog sadly passed away after fifteen great years of happiness! I watch my friend's dogs when they go out of town because I'm usually always reliable and do most of my work inside my home. I am not lazy with taking dogs on walks and I care for pets like they are my own :) I am a stay at home mom to a 2 year old so I am always home to care for your loved one. We have a fenced backyard and lots of areas to walk. I can be flexible about what your pet needs. If you would prefer them in a crate at night I’d be happy to do that but usually I love having your pets roam around my townhouse and our fenced yard!
“I had an excellent experience with Jenny. She was extremely friendly, personable, and made me feel confident that my puppy was in great hands. She provided thoughtful care, and I could tell my pup was happy and comfortable the entire time. I will absolutely be booking with her again the next time I’m visiting the area. Highly recommended!”
“Abigail was wonderful. I needed a sitter at the last minute for super early in the morning and late in the evening. She rearranged her schedule so she could help me. When I dropped my dog off she was very kind and I felt comfortable leaving. When I picked up my dog, I could tell she did a good job because my dog is normally very shy and gets depressed when I am away. When I picked my dog up, although extremely happy to see us, she still went by Abigail.”
“Awesome experience! Jason and Jeremy were wonderful and gave us piece of mind that our dog was having a great time as opposed to being locked up in a kennel all day. Thank you!”
“Lucy had a fun day with Russ and the two resident dogs. She loved being outside in the yard. Russ was easy to work with and very accommodating even when I had unexpected delays. Lucy can’t wait to come back!”
“Michael and Erin's home is super dog friendly, and Michael asked all the important questions about my senior pup. When I returned to get her after a day of boarding, she was happy and slept very well that night. The day of socializing was very good for her!”
“You guys were a life saver, I must admit I was a bit nervous as this was a first time using Rover. But Natalie and Bryce made me at ease for the moment we met. Now let’s get into Dutch :) we had a time getting in the truck as he was still trying to follow you guys!!! That tells me he really enjoyed the care you provided. Thank you thank you soooo much!! We would definitely use you guys again!!!!!!!”
“My dog Milo really enjoyed his day of daycare with Melissa & Bitsy. I really appreciated the updates with pictures sent via text of how he was doing throughout the day. Milo even came home with one of Bitsy's toys that Melissa so kindly gave him because he liked it so much - it's now one of his favorites!”
“Garrett, Ana and their children were wonderful with Piper. They treated Piper like a member of their family. I would definitely recommend and call on them again.”
“Christin took such wonderful care of Vinny! We received regular updates with messages and photos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. Vinny was clearly so happy and comfortable with her — they went on walks, and she was flexible with a later evening pickup. When we got him back, he was calm and relaxed, which is not something we experience very often. It was clear he felt safe, cared for, and truly enjoyed his time with Christin. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for excellent care.”
“We are always at peace when we leave Maia with Kathy. She really makes sure that Maia has a wonderful time. They go on walks and play a lot in the backyard. Maia comes home tired and happy. Thank you, Kathy!”
About: Hi! My name is Anna. I’m so excited to share my experience and the special moments I create with the pets I care for, so I’d love to introduce myself and help you get to know me better 💕 I’ve been caring for pets my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats. I have two girls, Rosie and Misa. They are very sweet and friendly dogs who are used to making new friends all the time. I work from home full time, which allows me to spend lots of quality time with pets, by going for walks, giving cuddles and treats, playing indoors and outdoors, and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved! I’m proud to be a pet sitter and provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home for your beloved pets. My home has a large, fenced, and secure backyard where your pet can safely play, explore, and enjoy their time outside. It makes me happy to see pets feel relaxed and happy in my care. I send photos and videos regularly throughout the day, and I always keep open, friendly communication during the stay because I understand, how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable and know how their pets are doing. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pet! Thank you for being here 🌈✨ Love, Anna I work from home full time, available every day, including weekends and holidays. My home has a large, clean, fenced, and secure backyard where pets can safely run, play, and relax in the sun I’m always outside with them to supervise, keep them company, and make sure they’re happy and comfortable For all my new friends: I would love to schedule a meet and greet before the boarding stay, so we can go over your pet’s routine and care, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. I also require up to date vaccination records for each pet prior to the meet and greet Pet safety and health is an important part of being a pet sitter: I regularly check doors & windows, clean food & water bowls daily, mop the floors, and vacuum the couch..etc. I follow all instructions provided by the pet parent, including feeding your pet according to their schedule & dietary needs, as well as any medication instructions you provide. I always maintain open and responsible communication with pet parents while your baby is staying at my place My main priority is to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and comfortable I spend as much time as needed giving them attention, love, and lots of cuddles during their stay, because pets deserve the best life!

About: I’ve cared for both cats and dogs since I was very young. Through my former work at a local animal shelter, I gained valuable experience with pets of all species, ages, sizes, and needs. My days are very flexible, so I’m easily able to fit in visits at most times throughout the day. If we schedule recurring visits, I prefer they mostly stay at the same times from week to week. At this time, I am only able to care for your pet in your own home. If you have any questions about my services, please message me. I will do everything possible to accommodate the individual needs of your dog or cat.
“Elyse has been reliable and communicative. My two cats and small dog are comfortable around her and enjoy her visits! Thanks, Elyse, for helping me with my fur babies :)”
“Jeana is thoughtful and caring with our doggies! I really am lucky for having her as our dog walker. You’re amazing! Thank you so much Jeana! I highly recommend her.”

“Ian did a great job with my senior pup Luna. She is not a fan of men and she liked him right away. He was very reliable and Luna enjoyed every walk with him. Would definitely rebook!”
“I am so grateful for Lori and the exceptional care she provides for Korra, my black lab mix. Lori is incredibly sweet and always attentive to Korra’s needs. She goes above and beyond to make sure Korra is comfortable, happy, and well taken care of during every walk. It’s clear that Lori truly loves dogs, and her dedication shines through in the way she interacts with Korra. Highly recommend Lori if you're looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog walker!”
“Lenny did a great job taking our 2 Great Danes on daily walks. The girls really like her and were very excited when she arrived every day. It is apparent how much Lenny likes animals and her enthusiasm and care for them really shows.”
“Carly was absolutely fantastic caring for our dog, Kongo, while we were away on vacation. She was consistently timely, punctual, responsible, and extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Most importantly, Kongo absolutely loved her, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while traveling. What truly stood out was Carly’s professionalism and calm demeanor when she unexpectedly had to deal with a malfunctioning smoke alarm at our home during our trip. She handled the situation confidently and without hesitation, acting as though it was no inconvenience at all — despite it being something far beyond what should normally be expected of a dog walker. Knowing Carly was caring for Kongo made our vacation far more relaxing and enjoyable. We are incredibly grateful for her reliability, kindness, and dedication. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and exceptional pet care. Five stars all the way!”
“Kaitlyn and Auston have been lovely with my pup! They give wonderful feedback via Rober card and were very pleasant to meet for two meet and greets (: Envy gets her much needed walkies and outdoor time with them and comes back happy!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 7! I had a cockapoo for 13 years and now have a 5 year old mini bernedoodle. I’ve been walking dogs for neighbors and friends over the past few years. I just finished my Master’s degree in Europe, and am working a remote internship so have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to watch or walk dogs after 10 am on both weekdays and weekends. I won’t be able to have dogs or cats stay at my house due to my dog preferring her own space. I have experience with dogs up to 65lb so I feel comfortable keeping small to medium sized dogs safe. I also have significant experience with children which I do feel in some ways transfers over to taking care of pets.
About: I've been around dogs most of my life and really enjoy spending time with four-leggeds. I'm great with small dogs and big dogs (and everything in between, ha) and am very patient. I'm currently looking for a full-time job and can generally make most time windows work during the week. Weekends are also not hard to figure out. Dogs are members of the family and I treat them with kindness, patience, and clearly delineate boundaries. I enjoy walking and exercising dogs of all shapes and sizes.

“We had a fantastic experience with Emmanuel and will definitely entrust our golden retriever Gracie with him again! He helped us out on short notice for an overnight stay. He immediately built trust and communicated frequently while Gracie stayed with him. We are so glad we found him!”
“We were traveling and planned a last minute stop in DC and Mount Vernon. Cameron was able to watch our Luna for 2 nights while we got to enjoy the city and not worry about Luna and the heat. Plus, Luna had other 4 legged friends to hang with. Would definitely recommend and thank you for taking great care of Luna.”
“Kelly was great and I felt comfortable leaving my pup with her. She was quick to respond to my request, to set up a meet and greet, and easygoing re: drop off and pickup. I will gladly book her again the next time I have a need.”
“I’ve been dragging my feet on leaving this review for one reason alone: I want to keep Elizabeth to myself! She is the best sitter I’ve been able to find on this app, and she is great at communicating both prior to a booking and during as well. My dog comes back happy and tired every time he stays with her and is always so excited to go back to her house. I trust her with my dog every time!”
“Brian, did a perfect job of taking good care of our Furby! Our boy felt right at home upon coming into his house. Brian and his wife keep up well with making sure the house is clean and dog friendly. There are many doggy toys and much room for any furry friend to roam. I love how quick Brian was able to respond to our last minute dog sitting and boarding request. He kept us posted and took beautiful pictures of my dogs stay. I will most likely use Brian to watch Furby again if ever we are in the area again. Thank you Brian and family for the memorable photos of u and Furby!”
“Dan and his family were the best caregivers for our dog! They took great care of him and Dan was really easy to communicate with. We will definitely be using him again!”

“Took awesome care of my German Shepherd! He got daily walks and play time outside, was even kind enough to send me photos daily so I knew that my boy was doing great. 👍🏼”
“Marlene took wonderful care of our dog while we were gone for 5 days. We appreciated all the pictures and could tell Zoe was having a great time! We would definitely book with Marlene again and recommend to others!”
“Nina was absolutely amazing while boarding my boy, Abe! She went above and beyond from the start — she even met me beforehand near my place since I don’t have a car, which was such a huge help. During Abe’s stay, she sent me tons of updates, photos, and the sweetest little stories about his day, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear she cared for him like he was her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Trixie had an amazing stay with Jennifer! She received lots of love while she was there and we received great communication to let us know she was living her best life while we were away! Definitely will use again when we go away!”
“⸻ I couldn’t be more grateful for Dena and the amazing care she gave my dog, Chewie! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. She treated him like he was her own—giving him tons of love, attention, and making sure he was comfortable the whole time. What really stood out to me was how she kept me updated every step of the way with messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I highly recommend Dena to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly dedicated to caring for your furry family member. Thank you again, Dena!”
“Joy was absolutely amazing. I appreciate her help caring for Silly last weekend. Silly has so much fun playing with Caz all weekend long! Joy was responsive the whole weekend and made sure Silly had some love.”
“Matthew treated our pups like they were his own. They were super happy and very well taken care of. Fantastic communication. Easy going and easy to work with. My pups already want to go back. Thanks for the fantastic experience!”
“I had a last minute work assignment and was looking for a doggie sitter for my two doggies. I sent a request and immediately received a response. I dropped my doggies at my scheduled time. I picked them up the next day and my two doggies did not want to leave. They had a great time playing with Megha and Irene’s doggies. The fenced yard was a plus and the home was neat, orderly and dog friendly.”
“Our dog stayed with Donna for nine days and she was fantastic! He warmed to her quickly and she was very loving with him. She also sent daily updates with photos, which we really appreciated as we were abroad and missed our dog very much. We would definitely use Donna again!”
“Spenser loved staying with Danny, Damaris, and Thor! They are such kind and caring people, and their own dog Thor is absolute sweetheart. I felt at ease knowing my pup was in a loving home. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dog-loving sitter!”
