About: I treat all cats and dogs as I would my own. I want to give them the attention and care they need when you’re not able to! I have a few clients right now but would love to and would love to add more to my schedule! Contact me and let’s discuss more details. I love my pets and treat them as family because that’s what they truly are. I can assure you that your pet will get the same care, love, and attention as I give to my own!

About: Growing up in a house full of dogs, I guess I picked up a few tricks along the way. My friends joke that I’m the “dog whisperer,” but honestly, it’s more like I’m their unpaid therapist. Most dogs and I vibe right away, like we’ve got some unspoken connection. Even the cautious ones usually come around pretty quickly.. maybe it’s the good vibes..? Maybe it’s the good treats..? Either way, mi casa, their casa. 🏠🐶 Now that I’m pursuing music full time, my schedule is much more flexible! I work from home during the week and usually keep my weekends open, so I can be fully attentive and available for your pup whenever they need me. 🫡 I prioritize being present with your pets at all times to ensure their safety and provide them with a home-like sense of security, knowing they have a trusted friend by their side. 🐾 🤝

About: I spent my entire childhood around animals: dogs, cats, horses. We constantly took in strays and found homes for them. When I went to college, I got two cats but also started working at a veterinarian's office. I worked the front desk and assisted the Vet Techs and Drs as needed. I worked at Banfield Pet Hospital for 4 years. Currently I volunteer at the neonatal kitten nursery at Best Friends Animal Society and foster with Cats at the Studios. I also have fostered many cats and kittens over the years and have a lot of knowledge of cats. I can take care of sick pets including medicating, giving fluids, etc as I do this with my fosters. I am comfortable around all types of dogs and cats - large or small and even those who are nervous and need special attention (I socialize semi-feral kittens). Cat Knowledge - Because of having my own cats since 2006 and fostering kittens (from birth on), I have a lot of knowledge and experience with handling cats of all ages. I am constantly self-teaching myself about medical issues as my cats age and their needs change. I am also familiar with behavioral issues cats can have including nervousness/anxiety that occurs with a new person in a cats' home. 100% of time will send photo updates (Rover's percentage is not accurate as I sometimes send photo updates to a client's non-Rover number if requested). I am unable to work at homes of smokers. I am allergic. I freelance for work so my availability can vary a lot depending on if I'm working and what I'm working on. Feel free to reach out for more detailed availability. I will care for your pets in the same way you would in your home and on walks. I want to keep everything as normal as possible for your pets.

“Marie is reliable, caring, and great with my dog. Always on time and sends updates with photos. I feel totally at ease knowing my dog is in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own. I have experience with a wide range of dogs, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra care and patience. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether it’s sticking to a specific feeding schedule, administering medication, or providing lots of cuddles and playtime. Plus, I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and passionate about creating a safe, loving environment for every furry friend I care for! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because it allows me to balance my studies while doing something I’m passionate about—caring for animals. As a student, I appreciate the flexibility this role offers, enabling me to provide attentive, reliable care while managing my schedule. This combination of flexibility and purpose makes pet sitting an ideal part of my daily life. When caring for pets, I prioritize their well-being and happiness. At a client’s home, I ensure pets are fed according to their schedule, taken on regular walks for exercise, and given plenty of attention and companionship to prevent loneliness. I also follow any specific instructions provided by the owner to maintain their routine and comfort. My goal is to create a safe, caring, and stress-free environment for every pet I look after!

“Scarlett loves her walk and my parents really like Brenna. They like her so much that when they travel they want to hire her to house and dog sit”

“Jessica is super-friendly, reliable, and always on-time!! She takes great care of our two pups, and you can clearly tell that she is an animal lover. I highly recommend her!”

About: I am a dog lover that recently lost her dog. I am seeking to give my love and attention to other pets while their owner is away. I have been responsible for caring for pets for over 20 years. I work from home so at no point will your pet be left alone. I am able to take out your baby as much as needed and have a lot of room for them to run around (indoor and outdoor). My house is pet safe and organized. I keep it toddler safe which means no small pieces or anything toxic your animal can get to also.

“Joanna is amazing with our high energy dog, Marty! He absolutely adores her and comes back from his walks happy as a clam and all tired out! We highly recommend Joanna!”

About: Hi! My name is Echo, and while I may not have professional experience in pet walking or sitting yet, I’ve always had a deep love and respect for animals. Whether it’s spending time with friends’ pets or simply connecting with animals in my community, caring for them brings me genuine joy. I’m responsible, attentive, and eager to learn the best practices to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to look after your furry family members, and I’m committed to treating each pet as if they were my own. I’m excited for the opportunity to build trust with both pets and their owners and to grow through hands-on experience. Thank you for considering me—I’d be honored to be a part of your pet’s daily routine! As an independent artist who works from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s dropping in for feeding, spending quality time, or going for walks, I’m able to easily fit pet care into my routine without rushing or cutting corners. Caring for animals brings a peaceful balance to my creative work, and I truly enjoy building a bond with each pet I care for. I live in a pet-friendly building with plenty of space, and I’m just a short walk away from Woodley Park, which is perfect for regular walks, fresh air, and playtime. At home, pets will have a calm, clean space to relax, play, and feel at ease, with plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I respect their space, keep things tidy, and do everything I can to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and stress-free in their own familiar environment.

About: I have cared for many furry family members over the years and I have found that communication is key! With both pets and parents! Every animal is unique and should be tended to accordingly. So I will go above and beyond to make sure your fur baby is understood and gets what they need. As for parents, I will keep you updated on your fur baby's adventures! I usually send updates every hour or so but I will go according to your preferences. **Boarding is temporarily unavailable until April 2nd I mainly work from home so I have plenty of time to shower your furry family member with love, affection, and treats (with your approval of course). I have a shared fenced in yard for play time and a private porch for sunbathing. I also have an indoor fence and a crate for those who want to keep their dogs crate trained. My boyfriend also works from home so you'll have the power of 2 watching over them.

“She is fantastic! She's always punctual, reliable, and our dog absolutely loves her. We are so grateful for her excellent care and attention to detail. Highly recommend!”

About: I absolutely love dogs! 🐶 They bring so much joy and happiness into our lives. I've had the pleasure of taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. From a young age, my family had a furry friend, and I learned how to care for them by helping out with feeding, walking, and grooming. As I got older, I started volunteering at local animal shelters, where I got even more hands-on experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. It's been such a rewarding experience, and I've learned so much about their different needs and personalities. So I say 4 years but really most of my life! Taking care of pets is an important part of my routine. I make sure to allocate time for feeding them, giving them fresh water, and taking them for walks. I also set aside time for play and exercise, as well as grooming and cleaning their living areas. It's all about creating a balanced and loving environment for our furry friends. And of course, cuddle time is a must! And I’ve done a good job at balancing work and my personal life. In both my home and when caring for clients' pets, I prioritize their well-being and happiness. I ensure they have a comfortable and safe environment by providing cozy bedding, toys, and a designated area for them to relax. I stick to their regular feeding schedule i’m provided with and make sure they have access to fresh water at all times. Daily exercise and playtime are essential, whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, or engaging in interactive games. I also give them plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. Each pet is unique, so I adapt my care to their specific needs and preferences.
