About: I have life long experience with pets, including kittens and senior dogs and cats. I have also fostered cats in the past. I have cared for senior animals with medical and behavioral conditions, and I will provide your fur baby with the love and attention they deserve. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so I am able to go on walks or visit your baby during the work day so you can feel peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for. I am happy to come to your home to look after your pet, feed them, take them on a walk, play with them, cuddle, or just give them attention and love! Safety is a big priority to me, so I will ensure your pet is probably attended to.
“Aimee - was very easy to communicate with, responsive and professional. I felt my kitties were well taken care of while I was gone. Really appreciated Aimee’s flexibility on when to come over. All in all great experience!”

“Spencer & Julia took great care of my cat and provided a ton of photos during their time with him! They offered plenty of pets, treats, and cuddles and gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation!”

“Brittany was great and Kramer loved her!! She was also so helpful with Kramer’s special instructions (since she was just spayed)! We will definitely use Brittany again!”

“We needed someone on short notice and Alexandria responded immediately. She was friendly, easy to communicate with, and made the process stress-free. She was great with our 8-month-old rescue, Poppy, who’s still adjusting and can be reactive on leash. Alexandria was patient and understanding, handling Poppy thoughtfully. We loved the photos and report card after each visit and would definitely book Alexandria again—Poppy would be happy to see her too!”

“Dominique is an exceptional dog sitter! He took amazing care of our large, active dog, managing his energy with ease and ensuring he was happy and well-exercised throughout his stay. Dominique is a fantastic communicator, always prompt and clear in his updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He truly went above and beyond—not only taking excellent care of our pup but also helping out around the house, like taking out the garbage. We couldn’t recommend him more highly and will definitely book him again!”

“Maria did a wonderful job caring for my cat while I was away! She is such a kind and calming presence, which I know put my cat at ease without me there. Updates were frequent and very detailed, giving me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend booking with Maria and I for sure will be again!”

“Drew was great with my “quirky” dogs while I was out of town. She took great care of them. She was on time, provided photos, kept me informed, etc. I would definitely use Drew again in the future.”

“My cat Hannah was well taken care of and in good hands while I was away! Lisa gave great drop-in visits and left Rover cards to keep me updated. Thanks for a reliable service!”

“Maggie is thorough, conscientious, and a great communicator! I looked forward to her updates about my pet during my trip, and feel confident leaving him in her hands again when the time comes! Very grateful for her services!”


About: Been in Arlington since 2017 and despite having not owned since with family, have a lot of experience walking and sitting for friends and family. V much want to hang out with your pup, super down for walks, and sitting if theres a need! Moreso into this for my own personal emotional regulation (has a full-time job), so time/rates absolutely negotiable. Not really sure whats considered experience here, so will put amount of time I've lived with. I'd do this for less than $10 a walk if I could. I have a full-time, in office job, so I am much more suited for walks and longer hangs than I really am overnight sitting. My current apt building doesnt allow for pets, so if sitting were a thing, it'd have to be at yours. That said, I would take your pet out and they'd do things with me, my SO, and very likely also my friends. Happy to abide by your rules with le pup, would just need a rundown or list of things/actions you keep so as to try not to change much for them.
“Aly has consistently showed up for us when we need her most! She treats our pup well and is thorough in her reports for how our dog is doing. We appreciate her so much & recommend highly!”

“Paul was responsive and incredibly communicative. I needed to take a last-minute international trip. Within a few hours, we were able to schedule a time for Paul to take care of Clementine. I am definitely using his services again the next time I have to travel.”

“Stacy, is an incredible person. She went above and beyond all expectations. Unfortunately Sylvester became critically I'll while we were traveling and Stacy was put in an impossible situation. We had to ask her to take Syl to the vet and ultimately be with him as he passed on. She was amazing. She never stopped communicating with us, linked us with the vet, and allowed us to give Syl a final voice message. We will never be able to thank her for what she did for us. Stacy is one of the best people we have ever worked with and we will forever be in her debt.”

“Tara was flexible and responsive and took great care of our pets while we were away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“Carisa is so wonderful with both of our doggos. She is very dependable, great with communication, and our dogs love her! We use her frequently for drop ins and walks. Highly recommend.”

“Thao was amazing! She took great care of the animals and was excellent at handling other tasks and needs. Great communication as well. Would highly recommend her!”

Morgan was great with Winston! He seemed to take to her right away. She took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand and was great about handling his medications including a daily pill and as needed topical treatment. She was always good about including a little description and pictures after each visit. We felt very confident that he was in good hands.

Guiselle took a great care of my cat Hummer during her drop in visits. She kept me updated with photos and messages which gave me peace of mind. Guiselle had an instant connection with Hummer and he clearly enjoyed her company. I will happily book with Guiselle again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
