About: I have been animal sitting for almost 9 years now, starting when I was in high school. I have experience in animal care for multiple species, energy levels, behaviors, ages, and health needs. No task is too big for me, my biggest job was being a sitter for a family of 10 dogs, and a pig! I worked at a nonprofit animal rescue where I learned more about how to care for cats and dogs, and how to gauge their personalities, and energy levels. I am passionate about animal happiness and satisfaction. Right now, I am completely free. I have a car and a valid drivers license. I just moved back home after hiking for 4 months on the Appalachian trail, while walking I had lots of time to think about my passions, and of those are animal welfare, care, and personally staying active and fit! I have two personal dogs, one of which is a senior in hospice care, out of respect for him, I am not taking animals into my home right now. However, any type of drop-ins or house-sitting is on the table. I take direction seriously and can provide medical care, activity, play, feeding, or anything else that is needed for your beloved animal!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I can remember. I’ve always had a dog in my life, taking care of them was my main priority in my house! Making sure they ate, went on walks & bathed. I am currently unemployed since I just had my baby. So I have all the time in the world to make sure your furry loved one is taken care of! I have a very friendly dog who loves to play & a big back yard where they can run & play. At your house I will let them also get out & enjoy their time outside as well as inside. Will make sure they are bathed & fed & taken out when needed to.

“She took great care of my dog. Would recommend her to anyone.”

“Jennifer did an amazing job! She gave us piece of mind knowing that our dog was taken care of while we explored DC. She was very thoughtful with our pup on the extreme temperatures too!”

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience, caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s been a lifelong passion. From a young age, I’ve been surrounded by animals and have dedicated my life to understanding and supporting their needs. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have worked professionally as a veterinary technician in a veterinary office in Utah, giving me a strong medical background and the ability to recognize and respond to a wide range of health and behavioral concerns. My experience also includes working in multiple kennels across many states where I cared for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. This has given me the skills to handle everything from energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra patience and care. At home, I’m a proud pet owner myself. I have a 13-year-old Chihuahua that I’ve raised since he was a puppy, as well as an 11-year-old pit bull mix I rescued from a shelter in 2017, and my beloved cat I adopted in 2023. My own pets have given me firsthand experience with aging animals, rescue care, and the importance of providing a safe, loving environment. When you trust me with your pet, you can feel confident knowing they will be treated like family—with compassion, experience, and the highest level of care. I am open most days, as I homeschool my child. Saturday afternoons are usually reserved for personal time but I am available in the morning and night. I can let your dog out in your back yard, take them for a walk, clean litter boxes, do playtime, give food, water, and medications on their schedule.

About: I have grown up surrounded by animals all my life. I have over 7 years of experiences taking care of other peoples’ pets and love to make every animal feel loved, safe, and happy in my care! I have successfully pet sat for many friends, family, and neighbors throughout my life and look forward to getting more experience with your pets! I have 2 cats of my own and hope someday soon to get a dog. I love give belly rubs, back scratches, and doing anything I can to make sure your pet feels right at home while you’re away. I am a full time remote graduate student local to the area. I am available every day of the week anytime that you need! I can easily be reached for day of scheduling, and would love to find a time that works best for you to take care of your furry friend. I enter each home with the highest level of respect and courtesy. I always make sure to respect any pets needs or preferences, and will do everything to keep all pets safe, happy, and loved. I am very patient and friendly, and would love to get the chance to care for your pet!

About: Hi, I’m Tess! I live in Charles Town, WV with my two-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Louie, and two cats, Tatiana and Rudy — so your pet is walking into a home that already loves animals. I take a slow, easy approach to dog care. I let dogs sniff, wander, and just be themselves, whether we’re doing a neighborhood walk, a quick potty break, or a longer trail outing. Every walk is just two dogs at most, so your pup gets real time and attention. I always send photo updates along the way so you can see how they’re doing. I welcome dogs of all sizes who are friendly with other dogs, cats, and people. For boarding, I have a large fenced backyard and keep things small and relaxed — more like a home than a kennel. I also offer occasional house sitting for dogs who are happiest in their own space. I’d love to meet your pup! Feel free to reach out to check availability or set up a meet-and-greet. Fridays are my day off, so walks are unhurried and get my full attention. For boarding, I'm home all weekend, so any dog staying with me has someone around rather than sitting alone in an empty house. Dogs staying with me have access to a large fenced backyard and are never left alone outside. Inside, I keep a calm, low-stimulation environment. My Cavalier Louie lives here full time, so any boarding dog will be introduced to him gradually and supervised until I'm confident they're comfortable together. I do a meet and greet with Louie before confirming any boarding stay. For house sitting, I follow the owner's routine as closely as possible so the dog's environment feels as normal as it can while they're away. Photo updates are sent throughout any service.

“Lauren has been walking my newly adopted dog for a couple of weeks of now and it really puts my mind at ease when I have longer work days. She works with me on arrival time and I always get a report card ! I trust Lauren coming into my home and I am very pleased!!”

About: Grew up dog sitting many different breeds and ages. Had a beagle myself growing up. While in the military and overseas I got my German shepherd. I fostered a pitt, Frenchie, and a mastiff overseas as well. Very comfortable providing care needed and medication. I am in school full time online, this provides me with a lot of free time that will allow me to provide extra care for your animals. I live in a great area where I can walk and care for different animals. Your animals will feel very safe with me caring for them.

“Kourtney was friendly, on time, and communicative. We will definitely use her again for walks!”

About: I’m the person in public who asks any person to pet their dog, even the dogs with the red vests that say “DO NOT PET”. I love dogs and they love me. I’ll watch over your pets like they’re my own. I work from home so there is plenty of time to play. Regular walks in the morning to get coffee and then again in the evening once the laptop closes. I regularly help out with my friends dogs, I’m the one in the group they all rely on to watch over them when they are gone.

“Day is absolutely wonderful. She is caring and fun with the animals, takes Spencer in long walks and is reliable. Excellent person! Grace K”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. Cats since I was 11. I have ridden and worked with horses since I was 5. I do all my animals vetting minus their rabies vaccinations. I have a senior Husky, a three year old German Shepherd and an eleven month old Pitbull/German shepherd mix. I have a ball python as well as two eight year old tuxedo cats. I love them all! All my babies are spoiled rotten and I share in the spoils! I currently stay at home and I'm a football mom so I have an open schedule around practices and games to take care of needs of others! I currently do not offer boarding as I do not have a fence. My dogs and I love to lounge around, play and adventure the yard for all the new smells. My babies have my full house to roam and are only put up when I leave as they are mischievous and get themselves into trouble. We go out every few hours to potty and roam the yard to smell all the smells, because you never know who has been in the yard in the last two hours! We must patrol! Lots of walks and toys! In your home, it is whatever you and your pet need! Walks, playtime, medication, pop-ins.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 5. I’ve always believed that they should be shown so much love and compassion. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats of varying ages. I have looked after animals of all sizes and ages so I am well prepared. I have experience with feeding, walking, bathing, bathing, nail trimming, and medication giving. I currently am putting my full attention into pet care so I will have plenty of time available to take care of your furry family members. I am available all week days and most weekends. I have no problem staying nights if needed. I treat my fur babies like they are family and I give them lots of love. I will treat your pets with the same love I show mine. I have no problem following whatever routine and habits that will make your pets feel comfortable.

About: I have over 20 years of experience and caring for pets. We have also had the opportunity to breed German shepherds for many years. I have experience with senior animals, as well as with animals that require medication. Please feel free to reach out at any time. My schedule is fairly open! I am available during the week as well as on weekends. Please reach out with any additional scheduling questions you may have. I am dedicated to providing quality care for your animals and a safe environment. I understand the importance of providing quality care for your animals while you are away as your animals are an extension of your family.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and I volunteer at the shelter walking dogs. I’m comfortable with all sizes and types of dogs. I work every day 2pm - 10pm so I’m available any day to walk in the mornings or anytime before 1. I can come as often as needed before that time. I am looking to walk dogs not pet sit. But I have 7 cats at home, I foster/rescue cats so my home in unavailable.
