“Luisa is amazing! She loves animals and it shows. She gave me detailed information about my cat and each of her visits. She went above and beyond and I could enjoy my vacation knowing that she was taking care of Berlin.”
“This is our third time using Ashley for drop in visits to watch our two cats and she’s fantastic!! She takes great care of our kitties and always keeps us updated.”
“Caroline did an awesome job, and was so prompt and professional. Caroline was very accommodating with our older dog, and we loved the photos and daily updates. We would highly recommend working with Caroline!”
“Daria was super attentive to our energetic boy and shy girl. I appreciate her photos, thorough check-ins, and the ability to tire out our rambunctious little one while also giving attention to our older cat. Great job and would book again!”
About: I have raised three dogs through puppyhood, adulthood, and seniorhood (a pointer/border collie mix, Weimaraner/greyhound mix, and a Westie). I have been trained in puppy obedience and clicker training and pride myself on being able to work with any dog-- from anxious, temperamental pups, to rowdy balls of energy, to silly couch potatoes-- I am here to keep your fur baby happy, healthy, and safe in your absence. In addition to my own dogs, I have had the privilege of caring for countless other friends' and neighbors' dogs and cats, and since moving to DC from California have been volunteering at the Humane Rescue Alliance shelter as a sensitivity-minded dog walker and enrichment provider as well as a cat care provider. I love all animals and am happy to help! I am currently a full time graduate student with a very flexible schedule and available to accommodate pet check ins, walks, and additional responsibilities within my class schedule. Depending on the dog's behavior, medical history, and location I work to minimize risks to the pet's safety and remain alert and attentive to the dog's body language as well as our surroundings, regardless of whether we are outside or inside.
About: Use my code JULIEL80305 for $20 off your first booking! I grew up with dogs (one husky, one Aussie Shepherd), and also dogsat on the side back home in Denver. Altogether, I have at least 20 years of experience with high energy breeds. These days I'm here in DC, where I live with my boyfriend and our corgi Romeo. Romeo is highly socialized, very friendly and will treat your baby as part of the pack! Trust that your puppy will have a friend to play with, and plenty of outside time (I live next to two dog parks, and tons of wooded trails). I'm 100% remote, and often use the time to walk my doggy around the neighborhood and take him to the dog park or wooded trails nearby. My boy is very active, so we're outside at least 4-5x per day. That said, your fur baby will get lots of fun outdoor time! My family dogs have had health challenges such as epilepsy, respiratory, food allergy and back issues -- all that to say, I'm comfortable adhering to pill schedules, strict dietary requirements, and making physical accommodations for your pup during their stay. I'm very attentive towards doggos in my care, and strive to provide an environment that is safe & enriching for them!
“Erin took excellent care of our cats while we were away, was very responsive and communicative, and spent plenty of time playing with them. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Andre was terrific. He came over in advance to make sure he knew where everything was and go over our cats schedule. We definitely know Bowie was well cared for and will use Andre again in the future when we travel.”
“Sharon took care of my two cats (mid-age and older cats) during a trip away. We met ahead of time to discuss cat needs and services, she communicated well while we were away, and took great care of the cats. I would give her a strong recommendation for anyone needing pet care!”
“Elizabeth was excellent with my two cats!! She took great care of them, played with them, and even brushed my long haired kitty. She also sent plenty of pictures and shared detailed updates, as requested. I will definitely be hiring Elizabeth again.”
“We had issues with our doorman passing off our key and Evan was very patient and communicative throughout it all! Evan has been reliable every time we’ve used him and we will certainly continue to use him!”
“Sun has been great taking care of my kitty! She is very responsive and professional and I completely trust her with my cat’s care. Thanks for your great work, Sun!”
“Emma was fab with my boys and kept me informed of all updates. She was very caring and helpful with my anxious cats, even when they left her a few surprises! I would be more than happy to use Emma again and appreciate her help!”
“Annika made our first Rover experience excellent. Communication with Annika was swift and clear from the very first message to handing back the keys. Getting what felt like live updates with photos as Annika took care of our cats was extremely nice and helpful. It almost felt like being there with her. And, most important, our two furry family members received great care while we were gone. We could tell from the photos that we received that both cats were very appreciative of Annika’s services and attention. And so are we. Thank you for a great service, Annika!”
“I won't repeat all the fantastic things that have already been said about Summar from other reviewers. But here's what I learned about Summar while she cared for our cat: 1) She truly loves animals and understands them extremely well thanks to years of experience. 2) She is extremely professional - a clear communicator, thorough in her work, always follows-up when necessary. 3) She will give you peace of mind (which is priceless!) while you're away from your pet. Overall, Summar took exceptional care of our cat for a week while we were away. I highly recommend her!”
“I literally can't say enough good things about Henry's pet sitting. He gives detailed updates about my cats' moods and health, spends time socializing with them, and sends so many cute pictures of them after every visit. My cats aren't always the most social and can be slow to trust new people, but he's taken the time to get to know them and their personalities and it shows with how much more comfortable they are with him now!”
About: Hi, I’m Laura! I’m originally from Florida and recently moved to DC for graduate school. I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly love them with my whole heart. I grew up with a black lab who was my best friend, and now my family has both a high-energy collie and a senior chiweenie, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I also have experience cat- and dog-sitting for friends and neighbors. I used to work on a farm where I cared for animals big and small, which taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and the joy animals bring to our lives. I’d love to get to know your pup and give them the care, love, and attention they deserve, whether it’s going for a long walk, playing fetch, or relaxing together. I’m reliable, communicative, and flexible to your pet’s needs! I’m a student in graduate school and have class Monday- Thursday but only one class a day. Monday and Thursday I don’t have class until after 6. Tuesday I am free before 1 and after 5. Wednesday I am free before 1 and after 3:15. My schedule is pretty flexible and I will work with you. I currently live in a single dorm room. Right now I have no pets and would love to spend time and help take care of your fur babies.
“Jesica has always been great during our repeat bookings to check in on our two cats. This last trip we didn’t set up one automatic feeder properly, and Jesica tried her best to troubleshoot. We really appreciate her open communication and great pictures of our cats!”

“I would have Nicole pet sit for me in an instant. I’ve known her since elementary school and she has always been extremely detailed, kind, responsible, and someone that goes the extra mile for others. She will follow any instructions you give to a T and will definitely treat your fur babies as your own. Nicole is so gentle and understanding, and a pleasure to work with as a pet owner, too!

Juliet L.
Star Sitter
“I would recommend Julie to anyone seeking a caring, responsible guardian for their dog. She enjoys going for walks, playing games, and engaging in other enriching activities depending on an individual dog's wants and needs. As an attentive mother to her corgi, and growing up with dogs in her household, I have seen Julie prioritize the comfort and well-being of animals under her care. I trust her to watch over anyone else's pets like her own family.”
