About: Growing up I help take care of just about every indoor pet you can think of. Taking the time to make an animal feel safe is my specialty. My favorite way to spend time with pets is outdoor training and desensitizing 🙌 I work part time and am generally flexible for hours during the week. I am especially available for early morning and daytime visits M-F. Weekends I’m happy to do overnights and potty breaks every couple hours. Happy to be the disciplinarian or the fun playtime aunt! However your pet feels safe I will accommodate and take as much time as needed to provide for them in your home.
“Jess was a fantastic sitter! Very communicative and flexible when it came to coordinating the key/fob pickup, and the girls got lots of TLC during her drop-in visits. I will definitely rebook with her next time I go out of town!”
“Charlie is such a great cat sitter! Charlie provides detailed updates, is very responsive, and gained our cats trust quickly. If you are reading this, look no further and book Charlie!”
“Laura was great! She took excellent care of my two kitties, including administering pills. She was super reliable and communicative and did an excellent job keeping me updated. This was my first time having anyone who wasn't a friend or neighbor care for my cats (we're new to the area) and it was clear they were in very good hands! I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”
“Hannah was absolutely amazing! I was hesitant to leave my cat home for 10 days using a new service, but after I received the first update and photos I felt extremely confident that my cat was so comfortable while I was away. Hannah is magical with cats and I’m so grateful for her care and excellent communication while I was away. Loved seeing how happy my cat was in the photos and will definitely reach out again next time I’m away.”
“Antonella was always on time of when she said she would be, very responsive, very communicative with pictures of marshy. She even watered the plants and Marshy- proofed the trashcan ! Would recommend”
About: Pets with quirky personalities accepted here! As a lifelong dog lover and current owner of a nervous, leash reactive dog, I am available to drop in and walk dogs of all kinds. I was previously a dog foster "parent" for a local rescue group and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats for years. I've been impacted by the downturn in the federally-funded job market so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I'm available for drop-in visits and dog walking 7 days a week. Having worked with many foster dogs and my own special pup, I can meet your dog or cat where they are and make them feel comfortable. I can match their energy level whether they need a good play session or just someone to hang out and ease their anxiety.
About: I've been taking care of cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. From my own pets, to friends and family pets, to the Canine Cognition Center's puppy kindergarten at my university. I am current law student, so house sitting works really well with my weekend schedule where i can be present for your pets and study at the same time. I'm comfortable working with weeks old puppies up to oldies who just want belly rubs and bathroom breaks. Above all, whatever you say goes. Although I have lots of personal and professional experience caring and training pets, you know yours best and you know how you want your pet taken care of.
About: The level of personalized care and attention I provide to each pet. I treat every animal like my own and take time to understand their unique routines, preferences, and personalities. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I work full-time but am home by 4:30 p.m. each day, which allows me to provide consistent evening care, walks, and companionship. My weekends are completely free. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with walking trails and a dog park just a short walk away,perfect for regular exercise, playtime, and potty breaks. I keep a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and quiet time, and always make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for.
“It is so reassuring leaving my cat with Aimee to sit!! She is very caring and I know he is in excellent hands. Thanks for everything, Aimee!!”
About: I have fifteen years of pet sitting and care experience, to include drop-ins, walks, feedings, litter box cleaning and overnight stays. When I was little, I wanted to be a veterinarian, and then a zoologist. Neither career panned out, but my love for animals remained. Now I get my fill of furry friends by providing excellent, worry-free care for your pets! As a proud mom of three urban hens, I know how nerve-wracking it is to be away from a beloved pet. That’s why I provide frequent updates and pictures to my clients so that they can go about their workdays or trips without anxiety. I specialize in cats, dogs and birds. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I am currently freelancing part-time, which provides me with an extremely flexible schedule to care for your pets! From walks to drop-ins to overnight stays, I can provide a variety of services to DMV pet owners When in your home whether for a drop-by or overnight stay, I am committed to making your pet feel as comfortable and happy as possible in the absence of their person/people. I follow my clients’ instructions and specifics of their pets’ routines, and follow them closely. I also provide lots of love and cuddles (or love from afar for pets that don’t like to be touched!)
“Kelly went above and beyond to spend time with my shy boy and keep him happy while I was out of town. Communication was great, including lots of cute pictures of my pup for me to swoon over!”
“Hannah was so great with our anxious dog Penny! She kept us updated and sent lots of photos. We will definitely be asking Hannah to take care of Penny in the future!”
“Sanam was great looking after our two cats while we were away. Her visits were punctual and I really enjoyed her detailed daily communications. She didn’t hesitate to ask questions to make sure she understood our expectations and the cats’ routine. Sanam went the extra mile by bringing in packages that were delivered while we were gone. I would definitely book her services again!”
“I always feel so comfortable leaving my cat at home because I know heather does a great job and is incredibly dependable! I highly recommend Heather for cat-sitting.”
“I’d give callen 6 stars if I could. She was great! Communicative. Friendly. Professional. She helped out on a last minute ask and did great! I highly recommend her to look after your furry friends!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and finally adopted my first two years ago! Well before my partner and I adopted our rescue, I was helping out family and friends as a sitter and walker. Whenever I was at a house with a dog, I always wound up being the designated fetch partner. I’m a dedicated caretaker who loves taking my pup around the block, to the park and on adventures. I raised and trained my dog from a puppy and have experience watching dogs ages 1-18! As a dog parent myself, I know how important communication, transparency and, of course, getting pictures of your pup is when you’re away from them. I’m excited to meet, walk and play with more dogs around the district! I work five days a week (M-F) from home, but my schedule is flexible and allows for me to take breaks as needed to tend to my own dog and pop out to care for others whenever necessary. Afternoons are ideal, but I can be available in evenings, mornings and overnight with advanced notice. My dog roams free at home, but she started out crate trained and graduated from there. I’m comfortable caring for a dog/dogs who roam free or are crated and have no issue retrieving them from there and returning them to their space as needed.
Woodley Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
I’ve been so fortunate to find William to help me with my other sitter while I’m away in Alaska on a traveling nursing contract. He has been incredibly detailed, dependable, trustworthy, and loving with my fur Baby. He takes the most amazing photos! Just incredible- I’m saving every single one of them, they’re just absolutely precious!! To be able to trust somebody in your home while you’re away for months at a time is just priceless, but most importantly, while away with a furry family member - has just brought me such immense peace and comfort. My little girl Violet absolutely loves William and took to him immediately! He’s been so patient and helpful as well, especially when there was a mistake on my end with medication dosing. He makes excellent suggestions about her care (he’s so observant) and is a superb communicator as well; so eloquent in his notes to me about his time with my girl! I look forward to them daily! :) Thank you so much William -God bless you for all your help, I’m so grateful that I found you! - Dani and Violet 💜🦄😻
Daria does an excellent job of meeting the needs of our cats wherever they are regardless of their age or special requirements. During the health decline of Louis, a big ginger boy, he would respond well to Daria even through meds delivery. Now, we count on Daria to deliver the care that our clever but elderly cat craves. We happily recommend Daria as your pet sitter/caregiver.
I had a great experience meeting with Fernanda during our meet and greet. She's friendly, professional, and took the time to get to know both me and my cat (even though she was hiding!). I appreciated how thoughtful she was in asking questions about my cat's routine, preferences, and care needs. It was clear she genuinely cares about animals and wants to provide the best possible care. The meet and greet left me feeling confident and comfortable about leaving my cat in her care. I would absolutely recommend Fernanda to other pet parents looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!
A well deserved 5star review! I had an emergency with my cats, when I called her to come help, she arrived incredibly fast. Not only did she handle the urgent issue perfectly, but what really impressed me was how proactive she was. She went above and beyond to take care of my cats. She is incredibly reliable and gave me such peace of mind. I will absolutely reach out to her again next time!
Carolina is fantastic. She did a great job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation. She sent photos during each visit which let me see that everything was under control. She was so kind to play with my cat and give him treats while I was away. I highly recommend her care for your animal.
