Pet Sitting Arcola

About: I offer a calm, structured, and attentive home where each dog is cared for with intention and consistency. Working from home full time, I’m able to provide continuous supervision, companionship, and a well balanced routine of play, rest, and enrichment. My home includes two well socialized dogs, creating a stable and positive environment. I’m experienced in oral medication, puppy care, potty training, and reinforcing essential commands such as sit, stay, recall, and leash manners. I’m happy to follow your dog’s established routine to ensure a seamless and stress free stay. Care is always tailored to the individual dog, whether they are high energy and playful or more reserved and prefer a calm, quiet setting. To ensure the best fit, I would like you to share details about your dog’s temperament, energy level, daily routine, and any behavioral tendencies prior to booking. This allows me to provide thoughtful, personalized care. Transportation (pick-up and drop-off) is available, with reduced rates for nearby locations. Complimentary drop-off is offered for returning clients. For the safety and balance of the home environment: 1. Dogs should be comfortable around other dogs 2. No severe separation anxiety 3. Potty trained preferred My goal is to provide a premium, reliable experience where your dog feels secure, respected, and genuinely at home ❤️ I work from home, so I’m with the dogs all day. Caring for them is part of my daily routine. Walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of snuggles. With two pups of my own, adding one more just means more love! I live in a townhouse with a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and relax. Inside, they’re truly part of the family, spending time with me and my two friendly dogs throughout the day. Dogs are welcome on the bed and couch during the day if they enjoy it. However, for safety, all dogs sleep separately at night. The entire first floor is fully pet proofed, and I spend most of my time there with them, so they’re never left alone or unsupervised. I follow each pup’s routine for meals, walks, medication, and rest to help them feel comfortable and at home. You’ll also receive regular photo updates!

“Lauren spent so much quality time with my kitty Purrl! I didn't feel guilty leaving her and I could really enjoy myself knowing Purrl was in such good hands. Lauren kept me informed of all the things happening and even checked my sprinklers and timers. I definitely recommend Lauren to care for your pets - lucky to have booked her!”

About: Hi! I’m June, and I live in Aldie with my dog boba! I’ve been around dogs since I was little, and I honestly can’t imagine life without them. I love spending time with dogs, whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or just hanging out on the couch. I’ve also cared for dogs who are shy or nervous around new people, and I know sometimes they just need a little extra time and patience. Every dog is different, and I love getting to know their personalities. I’ll always treat your dogs the same way I treat my own, with lots of love and attention! ❤️ I have a pretty flexible schedule right now, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I’m available on weekdays and weekends for boarding, drop-in visits, and walks. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s routine and schedule whenever possible! As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur baby! I treat every dog like my own. I live in a townhouse with my dog Boba, so smaller dogs are a great fit for boarding. I always want them to feel safe, happy, and comfortable while staying with me!

About: Animals have been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a household that always had both dogs and cats, I’ve experienced every stage of pet parenthood—from raising energetic puppies and playful kittens to providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets. Right now, my home is shared with three beloved rescue companions: my two mixed-breed dogs, Chia (8) and Tego (13), and my senior brown tabby cat, Potter (18). Having cared for Tego and Potter well into their golden years, I am very comfortable with the extra patience, mobility assistance, and routine medication administration that senior pets often need. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work from home, which gives me great flexibility throughout the day for timely drop-in visits, energetic walks, or keeping your pets on their exact routine. I am comfortable with both dogs and cats of any age, temperament, or energy level. I am knowledgeable and patient when it comes to administering oral medications, supplements, or giving elderly pets a slower, stress-free routine. I know how important your pets are to your family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, respect, and attention I give my own.

“Homira was the sweetest with our dog despite her being a little anxious. She took her on a walk, fed her, and had the most warm and gentle approach with her. She also sent us several photos and videos. 10/10 would book again!”

“Cecelia is the best! Our dog is shy and gets anxious but he warmed up to her really fast. Cecelia took care of all our requests and went above and beyond playing with our dog and lotsa belly rubs. We'll definitely reach out to her again for future drop in visits!”

“Best experience I have had on ROVER for Kona. Esther was VERY professional and responsive and really took care of Kona. Will 100% be my first go to here on out needing drop in visits”

“Maryann was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond while caring for our 3 dogs and cat while we were out of town. She spent extra time at our house, made sure everyone was fed, loved on, and played with, and even cleaned up accidents in the house without hesitation. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. We would highly recommend Maryann and will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾”

About: I have years of professional experience working in veterinary hospitals caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. My veterinary background has made me comfortable with senior pets, puppies, medication needs, special needs, and recognizing when something just isn’t quite right. I’m also a lifelong dog owner and understand how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your pets. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your dog like one of my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my day. I’m primarily available on weekdays for walks and drop-in visits, with flexibility depending on your pet’s routine and needs. I have years of experience working in veterinary hospitals, so your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I follow each pet’s normal routine and your specific instructions, including feeding, medications, walks, and any special needs. I’ll treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

About: I’ve had my Rottweiler, Robby, since 2018 and he’s been my best friend ever since. He’s big boy at 90lbs so I’ve had a lot of experience with larger breeds like him as well as smaller breeds because of my girlfriend’s Bischon Poodle. I feel like dogs truly deserve all the love in the world so I've been working at the Montgomery Country Animal Shelter walking dogs and doing overnight stays with them for the last 5 years. I even helped get a dog named Mercy adopted last year and that was one of my proudest moments. I am currently a full-time employee working at L3Harris. My hours are 8am to 5pm on weekdays but I also get every other Friday off. With your permission, I'd love to take your dog on a walk on trails in the Blacksburg area like the Huckleberry Trail. I love dogs of all sizes, but pitbulls have a special place in my heart.

“Mindy has been an excellent and reliable to work with. She took great care of our two cats while we were away for a week. She was very respectful of our home and went above and beyond to make our experience much better. I highly recommend working with her.”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I have cared for large dogs, such as Labs and Pit Bulls, as well as smaller breeds like Pomeranians, Pugs, and mixed breeds. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets with special dietary needs or medications. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and am currently studying online, which allows me to work from almost anywhere. I love going on walks, especially after a meal, and having a furry companion makes them even better! My flexible lifestyle allows me to make time for your pet’s needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I love being able to incorporate pet care into my day while making sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for. I provide pet care in the comfort of your own home, whether through drop-in visits, dog walking, or other care your pet may need. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My family has always taught me to leave a place better than I found it, and I carry that value with me in everything I do. I will treat your home and belongings with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. I also understand that I’m not just caring for a pet; I’m caring for a beloved member of your family. I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, attentive hands and is being looked after in the familiar environment you’ve trusted me with. My goal is to maintain your pet’s routine, respect your home, and make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away.

“Riley took excellent care of our 2 dogs, 1 cat, a hedgehog and a turtle! She is a saint with my Rottweiler too! Most people we have tried to have come over are hesitant and nervous and the dog can sense that and be aggressive. She had no issues with Riley. I loved reading her detailed notes about each visit. She spent plenty of time at the house and showed love and care to all our animals. It gave us such peace of mind while we were traveling. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I have experience caring for pets of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and TLC. My own 14-year-old dog has taught me that every walk doesn't have to be fast to be meaningful, and I'm happy to match each pet's pace and individual needs. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine. I care for my own dog daily, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I understand how important it is for pets to stick to their routines, so whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending quality time together, I'm committed to giving every pet the care and attention they deserve. Your pet will be treated like part of the family in my home. I have a gentle, friendly 14-year-old dog who gets along well with other animals. While I don't have a fenced yard, I make sure pets get plenty of exercise and outdoor time through regular leashed walks. I provide a safe, loving environment with lots of attention, playtime, cuddles (if they enjoy them!), and I'll do my best to keep them on the routine they're used to at home.

“From our initial conversation through the entire visit, Tammy was excellent! She took such good care of my cat (and home!), and I feel confident in recommending her to anyone in need of care. Thank you, so much, for being so kind to our nervous kitty!”

Joia C.

“Sofia does a wonderful job taking care of our fur babies! She gives us so much peace of mind knowing she is here caring for them. Sofia is always incredibly responsive to suggestions we send during her interactions with our cats (we have one kitty who doesn’t like when we leave and needs special attention to make sure she eats better). We are so glad Sofia is here to care for our cats when we can’t be! Thank you Sofia!”

Tamara K.

“Liz is so great! She’s super communicative, always letting us know when she’s on her way and how our pups are doing, and also if any issues come up. She typically stays longer than she’s required to and our girls love playing with her!”

About: My family and I love taking care of animals whether they are dogs or any others. We have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember and they are my safe space. I have taken care of bunnies, hamsters, fish, and dogs. I know how important it is to spend time with animals so I will always provide company and whatever it is that they need. I will also provide pictures very often. My mom, dad and I so excited to get to meet and take care of your pet! It will be a second home for them. I will be home most of the day so I can provide lots of company and take care of your pet while providing them full attention. They will always be my number one priority. I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own so they can keep each other company, I will always keep an eye on your pet and make sure all their need are met. Someone is always present at home to watch after your pet and make sure they are always given full attention! My parents work from home and I also have a very flexible schedule:) I have a fenced back yard which ensures your pet has enough space to run around and is staying safe while having fun! Our dog also loves to play a lot so they will all have lots of fun!
