“Callie was AMAZING and took great care of our pets while we were away! I’m always an anxious mama & she really did a great job with updating me throughout the time she watched my dog & cat! Would 100% recommend Callie to anyone looking for pet care.”


“Mya paid extra attention to our cat Lucy and even texted me several photos while visiting her. I will be hiring Mya for several days in the near future and know I can count on her to go above and beyond what I ask her to do.”


“Liam is outstanding — he’s super communicative and attentive to detail. I forgot to mention that my old buddy has a slight limp because of his arthritis and Liam was allll over it to make sure he was ok/it wasn’t a new injury. Easy to schedule with and great with Moose, will absolutely book again!”



“I recently hired Annika to take care of my cat for the first time, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! My cat liked her and formed a good connection. Annika’s calm and gentle approach immediately put my cat at ease, and they quickly bonded. Seeing my cat connect with her was reassuring, as his well-being is my top priority. Throughout the pet-sitting period, Annika provided exceptional care ensuring my cat's needs were met. Annika went the extra mile by engaging my cat in interactive play sessions and providing him with affection and companionship. I highly recommend Annika as a cat pet sitter. Her professionalism, genuine love for animals, and ability to form a great connection with my cat were outstanding. Thank you Annika!”


“This was our first time working with Sydney and we couldn’t be happier that she’s a new friend in our cat’s life! During our initial visit, we could tell that Sydney was such a kind and good person. Through all of the updates and she pictures sent over, we could see that our cat was very happy and felt loved, which is all you can ask for while away.”

“Sage took such great care of my little guy while we were away! Came home to a happy cat! Will definitely trust her to take care of him again!”


“Alex was great! He was very communicative about my pets and let me know what time he was arriving and leaving each day. He made sure our boy cat got his medicine and was really good about getting our picky cat to eat away from the others. He sent pictures each day, which was very comforting. He also brought in packages from our mail securely in the house, which was extra helpful.”


“Ashton was wonderful. She took great care of my two cats - one senior and one middle aged. She had no issues giving my cat her medication twice a day. She played with them and sent great pictures.”


About: Almost all of my experience as a dog owner and sitter is with dogs that have come from shelters or other adopted situations. I have owned “retired” greyhounds that were severely traumatized, I have cared for small dogs with unknown, but clearly extremely difficult, past traumas, and I have stayed and bonded with boxers and pit bulls who are slow to trust but then become bed-hogging cuddlers! Recently, I had my first experience helping train a puppy! I spent five months with a family and their sweet cavipoo house training and leash training. I teach from home and so I am always home! Well, except for the occasional errand, appointment, etc. So, I would love the extra company and the excuse to get out of the house and get some exercise! I live in an apartment building so I do not have a fenced yard. However, I live on Lafayette Park where I walk daily. It is incredibly safe and I have gotten to know many of the pet parents in the building and the neighborhood. I have two five month old kittens that I adopted from a foster home two months ago where they lived with a dog. I am hoping to keep them exposed to other animals so that when I have a larger place, I will be able to expand my family of pets.


About: I'm a young professional that works from home and have some extra free time and LOVE caring for dogs. So this is the perfect opportunity for me and I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs on Rover, after graduating from undergrad I took up dog sitting and I have watched homes and pets while family is out of town since then. I am very flexible and reliable and would have a great time with your pet! Why I love dog sitting: I had a dog who I was extremely close with and since his passing I miss a dog's companionship. Because of school and work I'm not able to take care of a dog full time so in the meantime I would love to keep yours company! I’m currently working from home and on my own schedule so I have plenty of time to take your pup on walks and give them lots of attention! How I care for pets varies on the individual pup or cat. Every one of them have their own special needs so I will be sure to be informed and have notes on the stay before booking.

About: Hi! I’m new to the area and looking forward to getting to know it (and your pups!) through dog walking. I have previous dog walking and pet sitting experience in Washington DC and Tennessee, and have had dogs all my life, ranging from ~5 pounds to over 150. I’ve recently relocated to the area, and I love hanging out with dogs and being outside with them. I’m hoping to fill my days until my job starts in August and continue walking on a part time basis after then. My number one priority is your dog(s)’ safety and comfort. Whether you’re looking for a once off or a steady dog walker, I look forward to meeting and working with your dog to make sure they are relaxed, well taken care of, and with someone they can trust.

About: I come from a long line of dog lovers and was taught from a young age how to be both caring and firm with furbabies. I have a very flexible schedule and have plenty of time to dote on your furbaby. With some advance notice we can craft a perfect play date. I treat my furbaby clients like family. Lots of attention and care. Other than a happy dog, you’ll never know I was in your home.

About: My family has always had dogs and from the age of about 8 I helped to potty train, crate train and care for 3 dogs. I've given many baths, administered lots of medication, clipped many nails and cleaned up many accidents. I've cared for senior dogs, puppies and everything in between. Now I have a dog all to my own and she thrives everyday! She's potty trained and crate trained and knows her basic manners and how to shake paws. I really just love dogs and would love the opportunity to make someone's pet feel special and cared for in their absence! I work from home, so I'm always at home with my own pet. I'm very flexible and free just about any time. I have reliable transportation and am always timely. I carefully follow all instructions left by pet parents and if I feel uncomfortable or unclear, I will always reach out to ask for guidance. I personally never walk my own dog off leash, as I worry about her safety and the safety of others, so I would always keep your dog on a leash. I love the dog park but if that is not your dog's speed, I love leisurely on leash strolls as well. I walk my own dog about an hour everyday so I'm always free to help get your puppy some exercise! I always carry water on walks and know when dogs get overwhelmed and/or tired.

About: Years ago, I got my dog as a 10 week old puppy and we've trained and thrived together ever since! I often look after family friend's dogs, and have gotten experience caring for dogs at animal rescues. I have a full time job with flexible hours. I am finished in the early afternoon most days, and would like to help fur families with my free time! My home has plenty of room for play time, with lots comfort for relaxation and bed time. I own two medium crates if they are required. Your animals will always have access to water and are fed on their regular schedule!

“Areatha is great with Anya!”


About: I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats and horses, so animals have always been a part of my life! Besides helping out with our own animals, I worked at a dressage barn throughout high school and showed horses throughout college. I have also taken care of family and friend's dogs and cats for extended periods of time. Pets have influenced my entire life and I understand the importance of every pet's health, safety and happiness. Besides caring for my own cat, I have an open schedule to give your pet the care and attention they deserve! My calendar is flexible to meet your pet-sitting needs. I currently do not offer pet sitting services at my home, but I am excited for the opportunity to take care of pets at a client's home. I prefer to meet the pet and go over the pet's needs with an owner prior to the owner being gone, so that I'm aware of the pet's environment and how I can best take care of the pet while their owner is away.
