“Betty is such a positive and pleasant lady. I feel very comfortable having her to stay in my house . I can leave knowing Deacon is in the best of care and happy. He seems to really enjoy his time with Betty. I look forward to having her back!”
“Dinira was awesome, she took really good care of our girls and she hung around to give them there dinner after our flight back home was delayed. We will definitely book her again.”
“Elena went above and beyond with my pups. She sent multiple daily videos and pics to keep me updated. She even stripped the bed (totally unnecessary) and did light housekeeping (who does that???). I am so thrilled that I found her and my very reactive dog was perfectly content with her. She will be my permanent stand in doggy mom forever!”
“Maggie was wonderful! She is very responsible and loving to our pups! I didn’t have a worry at all knowing she was here, especially with our special needs dog! We will be booking with her again!”
“Marci and I are in a constant battle of who my dog loves more and I'm fairly certain I'm losing. Athena loves when Marci comes to stay. She has very little change to her routine and I can see from the photos that she is happily curled up on Marci's lap on the couch. My neighbor even likes to tell me how happy Athena is when Marci is there. They play a lot, they sit in the sun, and she is showing her the best time!”
“Absolutely blown away with the level of service by Paloma and Gerardo. All three of our pups (PJ, Addy and Phoenix) love them. They went above and beyond during the entire stay and to top it off, we ended up traveling home during the crowdstrike fiasco that caused our flights to get delayed. They had no issues with us being delayed.”
“Wow! How impressed my husband and I were with Michelle’s level of care for not only Bo and Buddy but our house as well. Both Bo and Buddy were happy and healthy on our return home and the house was as we left it. Michelle was house sitting and she washed the towels and sheets and also unloaded the dishwasher!! Above and beyond our expectations. She worked with Bo on crate training and he definitely seems more secure with that process than before we left. We have already booked Michelle for a second stay. Highly recommend!”
“Zoe did a good job watching our dog. She was quick to respond to messages and gave us regular updates while we were gone. Our dog was happy when we returned and our house was just as we left it. We will ask Zoe to house sit again!”
“I hesitate to rave too much for fear she will get too popular, but we humans and fur babies think she does a wonderful job! She kept us up to date with cute photos and videos, and we felt confident in leaving her in charge of the house and our dog and cat.”
“Our Marcel absolutely adores Dave! He gets so excited every time Dave shows up—it’s the highlight of his day. Dave is always on time, keeps everything neat and tidy, and truly enjoys spending time with our pup. We’re so grateful to have someone who treats Marcel with so much care and love.”
“Angela kept my two dogs when I went out of town. She is very positive and gregarious and my dogs warmed up to her quickly. She played with them Outside and kept me up to date by sending photos. She is also a great communicator and pays attention To detail. I wholeheartedly recommend her services!”
About: I have experience taking care of my own cats over the past 5 years and my dog over the past 2. Additionally, I’ve pet-sat for friends and family numerous times. I’m currently working part time as I wait on getting my PA licensure. My schedule will be very flexible but if I am dog walking I would prefer to do it on weekdays. I love being around dogs and they love being around me. My own dog at home weighs 100 lbs, so I have no problem working with larger dogs.

I have housesat for family and friends up to a week in length and up to 4 dogs. I promise to treat all pets as if they were my own! I’m currently working part time so I am very free and open to taking care of all the cute pets! For drop-in’s I can do any meal time! For all services I offer I understand and am fully capable of following exact instructions and will cater to whatever age/specific needs a pet has.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since I was 14, and I absolutely love it. Friends and neighbors trust me to feed, play with, and love their pets like my own (and I’m always asked back!). I have experience with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I work remotely with a flexible schedule and hours, allowing me to be readily available for pet sitting. I’m currently a college student based in Bethesda through August 8th. For dog care, I love going on plenty of walks and, depending on client preferences, I also provide extra playtime in a fenced yard or at a nearby dog park. When caring for cats, I make sure to engage them with their favorite toys and give them plenty of affection and attention in the comfort of their home.
“Ceili took great care of our dog and cat during a long trip. We were nervous to leave them for so long but she sent so many photos and checked in frequently that we felt a lot better after just a few days. They were clearly well taken care of and didn't seem to miss us too much! Highly recommend her if you want someone sweet and responsible!”
“This is the second time I’ve had Maria take care of take care of my fur babies. She always does such a wonderful job with them. She is very caring with them and is very interactive with them. This time she spent the night in my home and she was very respectful of my home and space. Maria is very willing to send updates and pictures if asked. I will definitely be using her again.”

Kat went above and beyond while caring for my 10-month old puppy and looking after the house. When the keypad unexpectedly died (and there unfortunately wasn’t a spare key), she was able to troubleshoot the situation until she was able to get back in. She far exceeded my expectations and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable hands.
Meghan interacted with Fendi beautifully. There was a scheduling conflict due to Meghan's other appointment obligations, causing Meghan to arrive several hours later than expected. A call would have been appreciated; however, she did not want to leave the other dogs unattended as well. After we spoke, Megan came as quickly as she could and took excellent care of Fendi. She sent lots of videos and pictures and gave Fendi lots of love. She was extremely apologetic and even refunded some of the additional cost. Fendi interacted well with Megan and when I returned back home it was evident Fendi was establishing a bond. The house was well taken care of and Meghan adhered to all the specific directions given that Fendi is a service animal. She played with her and gave Fendi the special attention needed to allow us to enjoy our trip with less worry. Meghan is mature and took on this assignment at the last minute, reducing my stress of being worried. This is the first time I have ever left Fendi with (3) different individuals with rotating times since I was going to be away for nearly a week. Meghan came through for us and I appreciate her willingness to make this transition of being away more accommodating. Her interaction with Fendi is why I will certainly call upon her again. She showed love and kindness to Fendi and that is priceless.
I am so happy with Jaclyn! I have a bit of an anxious puppy and I do NOT like leaving him behind, but a work trip made me have to leave my baby this time. Jaclyn was very kind and sent lots of updates. I had a whole list of instructions and she followed all of them. She even gave my beardie some lettuce and water and turned on and off the lights for my reptiles and arachnids. Daisy and Kilo said whenever mom is out of town, Aunt Jaclyn can watch him!
