Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Arlington View, Arlington, VA

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’ve petsat for neighbors, and I’m comfortable around all breeds. Growing up we always had big dogs (St. Bernards, bulldogs, and other large breeds) a few years ago we adopted my first small breed, a chihuahua named Moxley. I am currently working part time, but it’s overnight. I am available anytime from 9 am to 6 pm. I don’t drive, but I have a bike, and I can get anywhere in the city reliably. I love connecting with pets. Our dog Moxley was from a hoarding situation and it took a long time for him to start trusting people, the day he let me pick him up was one of the best days of my life. I have no problem walking, feeding, cleaning up after, or just spending time with anyone’s pet. I understand how important it is to trust the person that is looking after your pet, and I promise to do whatever is needed to make your pet comfortable while you’re away.

“Literally look no further than Andrea! This was my first time using Rover and it was so simple! She sent photos of each of my cats which was reassuring and also impressive since the grey one likes to hide. She also showed them playing and petting them which just put me at ease. Pretty sure she cleaned up a hairball or two which is above and beyond really. Boxes were clean and trash was even taken out. Andrea is my new go to for anytime I’m out of town! Thank you 🩷”

“Jen is a fantastic with my dog, Max and such a bubbly personality. I’ve seen her interact with many dogs in our building and by far, the most caring and attentive walker I’ve met. I have no doubt she’ll treat my Max like her own! I’m a returning customer for sure”

“We reached out to Tara again for a last minute drop in as we were at all day events this whole weekend. Tara was very flexible in checking in on our little guy we totally recommend!”

Andrew & Lynn T.

“Iryna was a wonderful sitter for my cat. She was very communicative and thorough. Maybe even more impressive, she engaged with my demanding, geriatric cat during her visits, getting her to play a little each day. My cat approved of her as well, eventually bestowing the great honor of letting Iryna pet her.”

About: I am a lifelong lover of dogs, and currently own an almost 2-year-old mini bernedoodle. I have current experience with walking and caring for dogs during typical work hours (9-5). I take time to build trust not only with your pet, but also with you. I take the time to learn your pup’s unique personality and needs. I’m looking forward to caring for your pup! I currently work part-time and work in the late afternoons/evenings. This allows for plenty of flexibility to accommodate your pet’s needs! I’m available Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. I treat your pet like my own, treating them like family and ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, and provide plenty of time for exercise, playtime, and cuddles! Your space will remain tidy and secure under my care. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities!

“Robert was super great! He’s very good with communication and his experience was evident with his ability to work with our fur babies. Our cats were surprisingly able to warm up to him quickly which made his service top notch!”

About: I treat every dog like an individual — not a checklist. Patient, observant, and intuitive, I focus on trust, comfort, and creating a peaceful experience. Your dog deserves more than just a walk — they deserve presence. I move at their pace, read their energy, and make every visit meaningful. Think of me less like a sitter — and more like your dog’s calm, reliable companion. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, especially Fridays through the weekends when I’m most available for walks and drop-ins. I dedicate this time specifically to caring for pets, making sure each visit is focused and unrushed. Your dog will get my full attention, energy, and care during the days I’m most present and flexible. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, keeping everything clean, calm, and consistent. I follow your instructions closely — feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I move at your pet’s pace and prioritize their comfort. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an overnight stay, I aim to make your dog feel safe, relaxed, and cared for like they’re my own.

About: Grown up with dogs my whole life. Trained my parents puppies growing up and know how to handle big and small dogs. Feel free to let me know what you need! Work 7-3 and workout until 5. But am available during the day during lunch and before work. I am free all day during weekends as well. There are dog parks near my apartment and massive yards with tennis courts and other areas to play and enjoy. I will also happily go to you if that is preferred.
