Pet Sitting Arlington Forest

About: I love being around animals and have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I own a rescue dog, which has taught me the importance of patience and providing a safe, loving environment for animals of all backgrounds. I have volunteered for the Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation and the Animal Welfare League of Arlington where I have looked after dogs and cats of various sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments. I have a flexible schedule and committed to ensuring pets feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared for while their families are away. I have recently graduated from William & Mary and have an open schedule with the flexibility to walk, feed, care, and tend to your pet during your preferred times of day. I am also available to house sit and stay overnight with your pet. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I will take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give you peace of mind and ensure the needs of your pet are prioritized. I will provide updates, send photos of your pet, and communicate clearly. I am respectful, accountable, and will closely follow any instructions you have set for your pet.

About: I have taken classes in dog behaviors and how they act when they might need a particular action done. I have a NAPPS certification, which is National Association of Professional Pet Sitters that is earned for all small animals, both including dogs and cats. I have had my own very young puppy, so I know how to handle and train them in a gentle manner that they will respond to. I have tons of experience in senior dogs and cats, so I am patient to more slow animals or paying attention to them more and making sure they have what they need. I have an extremely open schedule and can stay over for longer periods of time than most people. I am free almost every single day for hours on end, so finding when I can come over is no trouble. I’m easy to schedule if I need to house sit, and am extremely responsible and willing to stay overnight when needed. I love taking care of animals in their own homes, knowing they’ll feel the most comfortable surrounded by their familiar surroundings. The only thing I care about is that your furry companions are safe and cared for in a way that they don’t feel out of place or missing the love they got before you left them in my care.

“We’ve booked Taylor multiple times now and she’s been so great with our cats! She’s willing to give them whatever they need whether it’s snuggles or playtime. Absolutely recommend!”

About: I moved around a lot as a child, so I never had a dog of my own growing up. That didn't stop me from finding every opportunity to spend time with dogs, though. I made friends with every dog in the neighborhood and loved joining in on walks, games, and playtime whenever I got the chance. Today, I volunteer with local shelters to walk their dogs, and I regularly help an elderly friend care for and walk her dog as well. Dogs have always seemed to gravitate toward me, and when they meet me, they usually decide I've been professionally trained in tummy rubs. 😊 I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while we're together. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, or just some extra attention and affection, I'll treat your dog like they're my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule during the week. I'm generally available between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pup. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy spending my day staying active and giving dogs the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I am dependable, attentive, and respectful of both pets and their owners' homes. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding walks, feeding, medications, routines, and any special needs your dog may have. I believe consistency and trust are important, and I'll do everything I can to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care.

“Daniel was responsive, professional, and great with our dog who can be somewhat shy. He braved the triple digit temperatures to ensure she was getting out for bathroom breaks. Highly recommend!”

“Brittany was amazing with my nearly three month old puppy, Ruby! She kept Ruby busy with a walk and playing with all of Ruby’s toys, and by the end of the visit, Ruby was all tired out (which was the goal)! I can’t thank Brittany enough and will certainly be using her again!”

Molly M.

“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!”

“Thao is the best! I’ve used her for drop ins and overnight. My dog loves her. Thao sends photos and updates. She also administers my dogs medicine while I am gone.”

“Kristina was amazing with my 8-month-old kitten! My little furball can be a mix of sweet and mischievous, but Kristina handled her like a pro. She took great care of her, kept me updated with pictures and messages, and made sure everything was just right at home. When I got back, my kitten looked happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little disappointed that her new best friend had left! It’s clear Kristina gave her plenty of love and attention. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and great with pets, Kristina’s the one to call. Highly recommend!”

“Aly is great! She dropped in to care for my cat for several days during the holidays. She took great care of her during that time, following all the instructions we discussed, and providing thoughtful details and wonderful pictures of the visits. Definitely recommended.”

“Paul took great care of our two cats while we were away. He asked good questions, made sure he knew everything he needed to, was very courteous, and made sure we got regular updates. We felt completely at ease and confident that our cats were well taken care of. I would recommend Paul to any potential clients.”

About: I have a Chihuahua Yorkie mix and a Schnauzer mix so I am very familiar with high energy dogs and I will give your dog the attention they need! I really enjoy training with dogs and can reinforce or begin any training that you would like me to! I have experience training dog agility, nose work, fun attention games, and many different positive reinforcement techniques for different dogs. One of our dogs is anxious and reactive, so I am very familiar with avoiding triggers, counter conditioning, and have taken classes on managing reactivity! Our other dog is a tripod, and became so through multiple surgeries while we had him, so I have experience working with dogs with different mobility needs and during surgery as well. I love to spend my nights and weekends cuddled on the couch with dogs or walking around new places, and I'll happily incorporate your dog into whichever they prefer, or both! I have a flexible part time job, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to walking, playing with, or cuddling your dogs just like I would mine! I prefer to take care of your dog in their known environment so that they can stay comfortable. I will do my best to stick as closely to your routines as possible so that they know what to expect. However, we will add some fun, so that they have a great vacation too!

“Lucinda is a joy. My puppy Piper always seems so happy in the photos when she visits, and I can tell Piper is in a good mood when I get home from work.”
