“Ariana was a wonderful cat sitter. She watched our two cats during the first time we were away from them, and they were very well taken care of. She followed our instructions and preferences and sent great updates and pictures.”


“Holland was such a great sitter! She was very communicative and helpful and took great care of my kitty. Holland sent pictures and updates that made me feel less anxious about leaving my cat alone. I would definitely use her again and I can’t recommend her enough!”


“Liza was AMAZING! It was our first time using Rover. We have two dogs and a cat and we’re feeling nervous about leaving them. Liza was so good with them, cuddled them, and always left us with the best visit details with really cute pictures! I know we can’t wait to book with her again. Highly recommend!”



“This is the second time Jason has walked Dizzy and he was incredible. My dog can be anxious and he is patient and caring, I'm a little worried Dizzy likes him more than me. I trust him in our home. He gives great updates. I am glad and grateful that Jason provides this service!”


About: As a Momma to 2 fur babies and 6 grand-dogs, I have all the experience needed to care for your pets like they are my own. I only work a few hours a day so I will be home to provide your pet with lots of attention and TLC. Plus bonus Grandparents are here to provide even more love and snuggles. We have a big fenced in yard for lots of outdoor play. Our pup Zelda is friendly and loves to have new playmates to show around. Your pets are welcome on the furniture and in the bed or wherever else they want to be!

“Jonathan was great! He followed all the instructions carefully and communicated very well. My dog has a special diet and needs to take medication for EPI, and he was very aware and attentive to that. He treated my pup like his own—I could truly tell he loves animals. I would definitely book him again if needed, and I highly recommend him!”


About: I was raised on a rural farm and had many animals, including dogs/cats in the house always. Excited to meet/help you and your beloved pets. I work from home currently and have the flexibility to make pet care work within your schedule. Ideal sitter for walks and occasional check-ins :) I live in a condominium complex. For boarding/sitting, smaller, calm dogs would be ideal; we have plenty of green area and sidewalks for walking. :)

“Anton was a fantastic communicator and took my stress away about leaving my kitties. I left for 4 days and have 6 cats and he was fantastic. His picture updates were cute & he went above and beyond to play with them and feed them their wet food. Highly recommend him for any of your animal needs.”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats in my house. Always loved pets and took care of them. My kids have been begging us to get a dog or a cat. This is a good way to give them that experience without having pets. We love going for walks and spending time outside. I currently work Mon-Thur from early morning till about 3 pm. I'm available evenings and Friday- Sunday full day. I can also take your pets for overnight care. I live in a 3 bedroom apartment but there's a large compound for walks and it's very convenient. We're also surrounded by public parks. Because we have kids we're cautious with safety.

About: I have over a decade of hands-on experience, including 9 years of working for (and eventually managing) a family pet-sitting business and 6 years working in animal welfare. I’ve walked dogs of all sizes and temperaments, provided specialized care for senior pets and shy animals, and fostered both cats and dogs—including those with special needs and those recovering from neglect or trauma. I’m also experienced with small animals, particularly rabbits and hedgehogs. With this background, I bring both expert knowledge and heartfelt care to every visit. Being self-employed, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day and week. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I’m able to adapt to each pet’s routine. I enjoy making time for animals—it’s a rewarding part of my day and something I genuinely look forward to. I prioritize creating a peaceful, calm, and nurturing environment in each client’s home. I always follow the pet’s routine closely, including feeding, medications, and house rules, and I make sure doors and gates are secure before and after each visit. During walks, I stay alert to surroundings and take care to avoid situations that could stress or endanger the pet. I focus on building trust—both with animals and their humans—by being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs.

About: I have 2 cats back home i grow up with cats and I have dog sit for my neighbors. I love all animals and would be more than glad to watch your pet I am on summer break from college I have alot of time for animals right now. I will be willing to work anything out with anyone I would make sure to take the pet on walks let them out every 2 to 4 hours and follow any instructions you may give

About: Hey folks! I started pet-sitting and walking dogs at the ripe old age of 10. Since then I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, fish and just about everything in between. For the past 11 years I've actually been working at zoos! I've also spent some time in a grooming salon. You may be wondering ok, what does this crazy zoo lady know about dogs? Well, I started with dogs, I love dogs and I have a dog. I have the observation skills to pick up on any irregularities in your baby’s behavior, the strength to hold on to ANY leash, the stamina to go on long walks at a brisk pace and the training skills to help you and your kiddo work on everything you need to. Give me a shout and I’ll be happy to help care for your critter! I'm currently on the job hunt which leaves the majority of each day free to take care of your animals. I am open to morning, lunchtime and evening visits. I can even do a late-night last out. In my home all pets are family. I have a cat, dog and frogs inside the house and each and every one is treated like a family member. I take that mentality with me when entering your home.

“Azucena was a great cat sitter for my cats. She is the most well prepared and detailed sitter that I have ever booked. I look forward to having her sit for my cats the next time I need a sitter.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child and have been a pet owner almost my entire life. I even have a slew of nieces and nephews that happen to be fur babies. Pets truly are a blessing and give so much love, they deserve to be well cared for and safe when their owners must leave them in someone else’s care. Allow me to assist you in your needs when your fur baby needs sitting or walking! I do work full time. I am normally available on weekends, Friday evening through Sunday! I also normally work from home on Mondays and can be available for your pup. I currently have no other pets in the home. There is an outdoor courtyard available to me to walk your pet and allow them to use the bathroom in my complex.

Liya W.
“Liya is a fantastic pet caregiver! She is incredibly responsible and truly loves animals. Our dog received the best care, and we were so impressed with her attention to detail. Highly recommend her to anyone!”


Melanie P.
“Melanie looked after my dog and my cats for many years, and I can attest that the quality of her care is excellent. I've known Melanie for many years; she has always had a love for animals, and has rescued more than a few cats and dogs herself. As a person, Melanie is detailed oriented, has excellent time-management skills and has a strong sense of responsibility towards others. She is also very trustworthy, and calm in an emergency. All of these qualities make her a thoughtful, attentive caregiver for pets. Melanie started cat sitting for us in 2011; often combining house sitting (staying at our house) and cat sitting. It was reassuring to know she was in our house, giving the cats lots of attention and time. From 2013-2020, we traveled frequently, hiring Melanie to house sit for us for extended periods of time (2-3 weeks). She was extremely responsible, would email me a few times each week to let me know that all was well and that the cats were thriving. She also took great care of the house, watering plants, retrieving the mail, and generally making sure the house was safe and secure. In 2021, we moved away from the DC Metro Area; one of the hardest aspects to the move was knowing that we were too far away for Mel to cat sit for us. I can't recommend Melanie enough!”

Hannah B.
“Hannah is a sweet and lovely young woman whom I would not hesitate to trust with my pets! If she can take care of a 240 pound black bear— which, as a zookeeper, she has— she should have no trouble with your pup. Hannah is reliable, kind, and loves animals more than anyone else I know.”
