House Sitting in Aldie

“We just got home from a 5 night trip out of town and Ben stayed at the house watching our mini dachsund and elderly cat. We were very happy with his attentiveness and regular communications with us over the time of our trip. He sent daily pictures and was very quick to respond to texts. The house was clean and the animals were happy when we returned. We will be using his services again!”

“Well hired Kimberly to help us watch Leia again because she does an amazing job! Leia is terribly shy and is afraid of most people, but Leia warmed right up to Kimberly and loves her! Thank you so much ☺️”

“Kyle is THE BEST! Super communicative throughout his overnight stay watching our two pups. He kept us informed with photo updates & I know the pups had a great time with him! Would highly recommend”

“Rose was responsible, communicated well and most of all, my dog loved her. We would highly recommend her if you need pet care/ a house sitter.”

“Victor took great care of our three fur babies when we were out of town. He stayed at our place and checked in frequently with pics and messages. The pups seemed super happy when we got home. Victor left the house neat and vacuumed before we got back. I would definitely use Victor again.”

“John is a great petsitter! He is so friendly and showers his dogs with lots of love and attention. My dog loves him and I know my dog will be well cared for by John.”

“We always love having Beth! She was very flexible with a last-minute change in the schedule. Can’t wait for her to watch our fur babies again!”

“I know it can be hard to trust others with your furbaby, but you can't go wrong with Kaylee. She loves our big, anxious dog Cooper as if he's her own. She is reliable and responsive and will make sure your pup gets the love it needs when she visits.”

“Kathleen was absolutely wonderful with our aging, quirky mutt. Attentive, responsive, smart, and kind. She cared for him and our home as if they were her own. We look forward to having her back, and highly recommend her!”

“John took good care of my dog over the holidays. I appreciated the pictures he sent and little updates throughout the stay.”

“Darlin was amazing! She took notes in our initial meeting. She provided me updates almost hourly and she seemed to train my puppy to have a bowel movement in a spot she used to refuse previously. So very grateful for her assistance and will def. be using her services again!”

“Yesica was great with our tempermental poodle. Our pup warmed up to her quickly and Yesica did really well with keeping to our normal daily schedule to ease our dogs anxiety. She kept the house clean and was very respectful of our property. We will definitely be using Yesica again when we have travel plans.”

“Faith was wonderful and took great care of our fur baby! We received updates and pictures while we were away. I definitely plan to reach out to Faith again for any future trips. Thank you!”

“Arabella was great with our girls and made sure they were loved while we were away. She sent tons of pictures and made us comfortable being away from them and will absolutely hire her again!”

“Anu accepted our dog sitting request last minute yet handled it like a true caring professional. She kept us updated daily throughout our trip with pictures as well as updates on their behaviors and day to day as well as helping clean up our house when one of my dogs got sick. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt better. We had a great trip knowing our dogs were in such great hands so we did not have to worry about them. When we returned my dogs were happy and healthy and my house was in great shape. Would recommend her and hope we have an opportunity to use her services again.”

About: I haved worked as a pet (dog, cat, goat, horse) and house sitter for the company Everything and The Dog. I owned and taken care of my own dogs for 50+ years. I have taken care of 4 of the neighbors dogs for over 10 years. I have been a foster home with the organization "Labrador Rescue League" for 3+ years. I have trained and supported the training of a service dog for a Veteran with PTSD through the nonprofit "Veterans Moving Forward". I have owned a poodle, and 4 Labradors (Applesauce, Corkie, Frisco, Hatteras, Jacob). I currently own rescue Bordier Collie mix name Lily. I own a nonprofit business in Loudoun County. I have a home office with flexible hours and flexible activities. I am responsible, organized, creative and caring. How do I care for pets? Feeding twice a day. Outside time (romps in the yard or walks) 3-4 times a day. Fresh water every day. Lots of belly rubs and head scratches. A couple of treats before bed. I brush and do nail clipping. Monthly medications and yearly vet appts.

“Monique is an amazing caregiver to multiple people and animals. She is beyond reliable and very trustworthy. She would be an amazing asset to help with anything your home needs.”

“In college I used to have an ESA (emotional support animal) cat and my job would sometimes make me work overnight or multiple days. I didn't want to leave my cat alone so Stephanie would take care of her while I was gone. My cat absolutely loved her and Stephanie would always send me cute photos to make sure my cat was okay. Stephanie also followed all my instructions about food and giving treats.”

“Elizabeth was an excellent pet sitter for our dog Mac (2 years) and puppy Nellie (3 months), as well as my in-laws' dog Cyssa (5 years). She cared for all 3 dogs over a period of 2 weeks while we were traveling, staying at our house during this time. The dogs were well cared for and very happy with Elizabeth - she sent regular updates including pictures and videos, and they were very attached to her when we returned after our 2 week trip! Elizabeth administered medication to Cyssa on a twice daily basis, and followed her strict diet (which requires different food/medicated treats morning and night). She took all 3 dogs on regular daily walks, and even went the extra mile to work with our puppy on commands (sit, down, stay) while we were away. I would highly recommend her for any pet care, both for dog walking or longer care such as dog/house sitting.”

“Glyn did a great job taking care of our house and pets over the long holiday week(T-giving). She was very communicative and left the house very clean upon our return.”
