Pet Sitting Arlington

About: I’ve been around pets all my life! I’ve never lived in a house that did not have a dog or cat present, and it just doesn’t feel like home without one! I’m currently an owner of a 7 year old cat myself, but I’ve always been around dogs of all ages and sizes! I frequently pet sit and stay overnight for family members, as well. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30 am-4:30 pm, but I do have an hour lunch break from 11:30 am-12:30 pm, which I can use to check on your pet, take them on a short walk, play, or feed them (if needed!) I do not work on the weekends, so I am 100% available to stay overnight Friday-Saturday and make sure everything is good to go before I leave on Sunday! Before I leave and while I’m there, I always make sure there is nothing left out that an animal can get into, and I always ensure there is water and food that is easily accessible to them. A good play session is something I like to do to make sure they were given enough attention before I leave, or, for dogs, I take them on a short walk to get some of that energy out!

About: What sets me apart is my combination of hands-on animal care experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for a variety of farm animals, which taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of paying attention to an animal’s individual needs. Pet care is a part of my everyday life because I’m a pet owner myself. I currently have a French Bulldog, so I’m very familiar with the unique needs of brachycephalic breeds and understand the importance of monitoring their activity, breathing, and comfort. I’m currently enrolled in a Master’s program in Biomedical and Translational Sciences, and my summer schedule is relatively light, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks and drop-in visits. I have always loved animals and volunteered at my local animal shelter throughout my undergraduate studies, where I gained experience caring for dogs with a variety of personalities and needs. Providing pets compassionate care is something I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets during drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and following their normal routine as closely as possible. During drop-ins, I can provide food and water, potty breaks, playtime, administer basic medications if needed, and give plenty of attention and companionship. For walks, I prioritize making sure they stay hydrated and comfortable, especially during the summer heat. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: ❤️I love pets deeply; we shared 30 years with them, and when they’re gone, it’s because old age took them, after a life by our side.🐾 It fits perfectly; since I am very organized, I have time for everything I need to do during the day, and if I don’t have the time, I don’t take on jobs I can’t fulfill.”🕣 I’m going to take care of your pet with all my love, adjusting my schedule to their needs, so they can enjoy walks, good food, and a day full of comfort, as if their owner were at home. 😁🏡🐾

“Sabrina was WONDERFUL! She was so good with our cats (and our turtle!). She always provided a daily status and photos of all of our animals. The cats took to her right away. She followed instructions perfectly. Everything was in perfect order when we got home the next week, and the kitties seemed very happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend Sabrina to care for your pets! You won't be disappointed!”

About: Lifelong dog lover offering walks, playtime, snuggles, and in-home sitting. I specialize in giving pups the attention and routine they need to feel happy and secure while you are away! I am blessed to be able to work from home all week which gives me the ability to take breaks whenever the dogs need attention. I have a large fenced in yard and two fur babies to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if that is your routine, or they can roam free.

“Paris was able to watch my pets last minute and they absolutely loved her. I have an extremely shy cat who warmed up to her and even let her pet him!”

About: My phone screen says it all...it's a photo of my dog, the first thing I see every morning and the face I look forward to coming home to. That love is exactly what I bring to every pet I care for. For 15 years, friends and family have trusted me with their pets during vacations, emergencies, and everything in between. I know that when an owner steps away, their pet feels it. I'm patient enough to sit with that, calm enough to reassure them, and attentive enough to know what they need in the moment. Whether that's extra cuddles, a familiar routine, or just a steady, loving presence. What sets me apart isn't just experience. It's that I genuinely care. Your pet won't just be looked after, they will feel it. One of the best things about my schedule right now is the flexibility. Working part time means I can shape my days around the pets in my care, whether that's an early morning walk, staying close during those first anxious hours after an owner leaves, or simply being home and present. Your pet won't spend the day waiting. They'll spend it with someone who's actually there. From the moment a pet enters my care, their comfort and safety come first. I live alone which means no unexpected chaos, just a calm space where pets can relax and settle in. My big backyard gives dogs plenty of room to run and explore safely, and my flexible schedule means I'm never rushing out the door. Your pet has my time and full attention. Trust is everything. Fifteen years of caring for friends' and family's pets has taught me how to earn it quickly, from the animals and their owners. I keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and loved. Whether I'm in my home or yours, my approach never changes: treat every animal exactly the way I'd want my own dog treated.

“Tereza is amazing! She was so sweet with Ashtro and knew exactly how to take care of him. You can tell she is really good with cats! Ashtro was in great care when we were gone:)”

About: I have had dogs all my life. I am currently employed as a veterinarian technician. I have done pet-sitting for about 4 years. I do also pet-sit cats. I work as a full time veterinary technician. I work about 5-6 days a week. I am able to stop in for check-ins in the AM and PM before and after work. I am comfortable giving medication. I am able to house sit, walk, check-in, or just play with your pet. Being in veterinary medicine, I understand sometimes medication is needed, senior, diabetic, etc. I am able to tailor to each individual pet, as I understand that every pets needs are different.

About: I have been a dog walker, dog bather, kennel tech, and worked at wildlife rehab. To say I love animals is an understatement, and I can't wait to meet and care for yours! I have been pet sitting in people's homes for nearly 20 years now, and have worked professionally with animals for many years. Dogs to Hedgehogs and snakes, tell me how to best care for your pets and I will exceed your expectations. I have watched over nursing puppies in shelters, and senior dogs in veterinary care and boarding, so I have experience with animals with anxiety and giving medications. I am on summer break from work at a local school, so your little ones will have my full attention. I do have a few 2/3 hr events two evenings a week, but I will be available for any pets in training, or who may need more frequents outdoor breaks. Because I understand that for many pets, consistency is very important, I try to stick as close to your regular walk/outside schedules as possible to make sure routines are kept just that*. Since every animal is different, I will let your pet lead the way with how much attention/ what kind of enrichment they like. I don't mean to brag, but my belly rubs are the bark of the town my neighborhood. **With the summer heat, I expect any walks taken will be very early or as the sun is setting so their paws are protected.

“Literally fantastic! She will go above and beyond to make sure your dog is taken care of. Very reliable and makes it seem like you never left!”

“Ann was amazing!!!! She is incredibly responsive and communicative and took such good care of our cats while we were out of town. Will definitely be booking again!!”

Caitlin J.

“Gabrielle is incredible! Not only did she listen to all of the little special requests I had about how to handle my girl in the best way possible, she went above and beyond sending me pictures and spending as much of the 30 minute visit out on a walk like I requested! I can tell she loved my girl well, and would highly recommend her to anyone who is nervous about leaving their baby in the care of someone else!”

Katherine B.

“I cannot recommend Winta enough, she was caring, funny and absolutely incredible. 1000% will be using her AGAIN and AGAIN for any and all of my pet needs. From the moment she first met Bmo her energy and caring with him blew me away. If you are considering her vs anybody else book her, you will be so glad you did. She sent me daily pictures and even some videos along with detailed messages of how he was acting and what he ate that day with her. I have never felt so reassured that my baby was being taken care of and loved as if I was with him. Seriously BOOK her!!! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars on here because she truly did go above and beyond and made my time away so carefree and easy. Thank you again Winta.”

“I cannot speak highly enough of this woman! I’ve booked with her multiple times now, and I truly cannot fathom booking anyone else. She is so sweet and so attentive and when I had the means, I want her to look after my cat permanently.”

“Linda did a fantastic job with our pets. The communication was superb, and we loved all the photos! We will definitely call on her again next time we travel.”

About: I have had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, therefore I have been taking care of animals my entire life. Because I have had many pets before including dogs, cats, fish, etc., I know that when it is time to travel either for business or vacation, or you are simply too busy to take care of your pet, it is important to have someone you can trust to take care of your pets like they are their own. I am a careful pet sitter who respects the animals and gives them anything and everything they need. I want the pets to be comfortable whether they are boarding with me or I am going to them. When it is time to work, my animals are my priority.

“Kelsey was our experience with this service, and we couldn't be more satisfied. Very professional, responsive, and helpful! Our cat Cherry felt comfortable and cared for. Thank you very much, Kelsey!”

Nikita T.

About: Growing up, our household had many different types of pets. Including dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, rodents and more. I am very comfortable dealing with all sorts of animals, whatever shapes and sizes. I exceed in communication and do not mind adapting to any new situation. I love spending time with animals and assure that your pet will be in good hands! I work full time as an opening manager. This allows me to have most afternoons free. I am not available on Mondays and Tuesdays, but I can be flexible any other day of the week. I am very respectful to the pets and the houses in which they reside. I maintain a clean organized house of my own, and will treat any place with the same values. I am not afraid of any animal but do honor boundaries with pets and their families alike. I have no issues with special requests or strange habits, and will do my best to accommodate for our furry friends.

“Absolutely amazing! So attentive! Communicates amazing. Great with my babies. Loads of picture updates. She is already booked for my next vacation. 10/10”
