About: I have owned pets with my family since I was a baby, and I have been volunteering with animal rescues since the age of 14! (to care for and clean up after cats/dogs.) I also own 14 fish tanks, and 2 beautiful kitties. All very well loved animals. I am currently working part time job during school. I am a college student but only have classes about 3 days a week. I am able to work best after school/ work hours, or on off days! Contact me and we can work something out:) I am an experienced pet owner, and I am happy to provide all the basics like, cleaning cages/litter boxes, food/water bowls, refreshing water and feeding, taking on walks, and playing with the your pet, and of COURSE providing lots of love and attention😸!
“Hieu and Anna are absolutely wonderful dog sitters! They were so sweet to our dog and took great care of her. They were also very proactive with communication and sent me updates and photos throughout their stay at our house. We will definitely book with them again!”
“Winnie is such a sweet person and loved my dogs. I will use her again and because I am going to be selfish and not want her to be to busy to watch my dogs.... she is wonderful.”
“Jackie did an amazing job taking care of my little dude while I was away! All of her updates gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip, plus, I came home to a happy and tired pup and my place in perfect condition - I truly could not ask for more. Frasier and I can’t wait to have her back!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter. She was incredibly responsive and communicative throughout our time away, which gave us real peace of mind. We loved receiving daily photos and updates, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable. She also left our home clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. We’re very grateful for her care and would happily book with her again.”
“Veronica took great care of our pups and home while we were away! She provided regular updates and pictures to let us know how everyone was doing. And she very graciously tidied up the house before she left. Our pups can be a handful, especially our puppy Leo who is very energetic and mouthy. But Veronica took it all in stride and was very patient with them. We returned to three very happy pups! We will definitely be booking with Veronica again!”
About: Hi! My name is Sarah. I grew up taking care of our family dog, rabbit, guinea pigs and fish. I feel comfortable and confident walking/caring for all different sizes and ages of dogs due to previously working for a dog walking/pet sitting company in the NOVA area during 2016-2017. During that year, I was also was responsible for overnight stays, and day time cat visits. My primary experience with pet care since that time has been taking care of my own dog (his name is Rudy, he is a toy poodle who has been the best friend we could dream of for almost 10 years and counting). I am in the medical field and am currently in between jobs, which allows my schedule to be flexible. I am available every weekday (and most weekends). For house sitting, I will keep to your desired schedule. I can stay and keep your pets company all day (as long as my Rover schedule allows, feel free to ask me!) or visit multiple times throughout the day before staying overnight. For dog walking, your dog’s safety is my top priority. I will avoid other dogs and if walking 2 dogs at the same time, I use a waist leash. I prefer to use a harness and non-retractable leashes (when available). Before or after their walk, we can also play fetch/play with toys inside or outside (if you have a fenced in yard). For cat visits, I am happy to clean their litter boxes, feed them, and play with them inside your home (only if they are interested, of course!) For either dogs or cats, I am able to administer oral or injectable medication if needed.
“Rosemary stayed with our older dog and was such a pro. Our dog was happy and relaxed when we returned and the house was spotless. Would definitely hire Rosemary again.”
“I really don’t trust any dog sitter like I trust Ray to take care of our dog. He’s a great boy, but doesn’t want pets and snuggles all the time and Ray is happy to let him just be him. It’s actually so hard to find! Ray left our house clean and well looked after. Will definitely keep going back to Ray!”
“Carly has quickly become one of our go to sitters for our two rescue pups, Jade and Deacon. She’s dependable, open to feedback, and calm with our pups who have some quirks thanks to their pasts. I recommend her for your pet needs!”
“Shennan was very responsive and attentive! She loved my two doggies and kept them company. Shennan was very respectful of my space and kept things tidy. Watson and Patty loved her!”
“Molly is a AMAZING. Stranded at the airport due to the weather and flight cancellations she was able to stay extra days. So helpful and flexible. Lots of great pictures/updates of the dogs relaxing in their environment at home. We have been booking with Molly since 2020 and absolutely recommend her. She is trustworthy and takes exceptional care of our pets and home.”
“Jenny was great! We received daily updates about our pets, who were in good spirits when we arrived home. She left our house tidy and neat upon return from our trip. Would absolutely book again!”
“McKenna was so great! She really paid attention to every little detail about our 2 pups and took amazing care of them while we were away. She sent lots of pics and updates and was also super flexible and understanding when our flight got delayed! We will absolutely book her again!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of my fur babies while I was away! Jeannie is amazing and provided phenomenal communication and pictures making me feel at ease that they were in great hands! Definitely will rebook”

Lauren looked after our 3 cats while my husband and I were traveling abroad for 3 weeks and she did a fantastic job!! We felt so comfortable the whole time because we could tell from the pictures and information she sent that the pets were in great hands. Two of our cats have special needs (one is blind, one has epilepsy) and she was very considerate and happy to adjust for any special care they needed. When we arrived home, everything was clean & in great condition, and the cats were happy and healthy. Thanks so much!
McKenna was so great! She really paid attention to every little detail about our 2 pups and took amazing care of them while we were away. She sent lots of pics and updates and was also super flexible and understanding when our flight got delayed! We will absolutely book her again!
Auston and Kaitlyn our lifesavers. They were able to take care of our lovely cats and dogs complete with a lot of special care needed for a couple of our four legged friends. They were able to juggle our needs with everything going on in their life and we were just blessed to find them. I would highly recommend them for your daily pet care or overnight.
Miranda is the BEST! I used her for in home care to give my pup a little bit more of a stable environment while I was on some travel for work. She gave him the best care and he was clearly very happy during her stay. Although I had a hectic schedule, she kept me super informed, and I would happily have her back again. Huge thanks and highly recommend!
Juan did a great job house sitting and taking care of our three cats while we were away on a long trip! We came home and the house was in great shape, everything we’d asked him to look after was taken care of, and our girls were happy and healthy. They also seemed way more chill than they usually are when we go away, so they must have enjoyed his company!
Jeana is awesome. She takes such good care of our two dogs and two cats. And we have a special-needs dog with seizures and she handles him with such professionalism, giving meds, comforting him, and keeping in touch with us when it happens. We couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter.
I had Julianna house-sit over the holidays. When I got home, my dog Gretel was happy and healthy. Julianna was polite, responsive, and left the house in good condition. She even gave Gretel an extra walk and meal when I realized my flight was getting home later than I remembered.
Alan did an absolutely amazing job sitting with our dogs for a week! Great communication with daily updates and pictures, with running commentary on what he and the dogs were doing and how it was going. Strongest recommendation for Alan Bernstein! Many thanks!
