Dog Sitting in Ashburn

About: I’m a very passionate and experienced dog care taker with a deep love for animals. I’ve been taking care of dogs for my friends and family since I was 10 years old, and have owned 4 dogs myself of all different breeds. I’m used to all types of dogs, including senior dogs and large dogs. My goal isn’t to just take care of basic needs, but to make every moment special for your furry friends! Your pets well being and your peace of mind is my top priority always. I’m currently available all hours of the day! I do accept same day bookings, but at least with a couple hours in advance. I’m a bit of a night owl as well, so nighttime walks/visits are welcome! I will cater to your needs in your specific home environment. Whether it be throwing a ball in the backyard, playing inside the house, or just showing them some love, I’ll do it all! I understand the important of exercise and companionship for pets. I want to make sure they are comfortable in their own home and show them the best time possible.

About: My children and I currently have a golden doodle named Phoenix! He's been a member of our family shortly after he became 8 weeks old. With all of his energy, he keeps us on our toes and we've helped him to learn about 36 commands together in a brief timeframe. Although, our time together has only amounted to a couple of years, I also grew up with a family that had two border collies, Midnight and C.J., as part of our family. #FourLeggedFun Different from how it was growing up, over the last few years, I have quickly learned about how essential it is to understand canine philosophy and pack mentality with dogs. This has allowed our family to train Phoenix in a way that puts his needs first while still allowing us to get the benefit of loving on him in a way that he can feel loved too. I currently work until the early afternoon on the weekdays. So, I have plenty of time to get a few walks in before bed time :-). On the weekends, I am available from the early afternoons until late evening. I would love to share some outside time with your furry friends. Safety is key for both your pet and myself. As such, I will treat your pets with love, respect, and kindness just as if they were my own. I'll be mindful of the temperature outside, as well as, the walking path that we may take. And, if I notice anything out of the ordinary about your pet during our walk I will be sure to keep you informed. Additionally, please let me know what your pet(s) are accustomed to and I'll do my best to accommodate their needs.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 10 Years old. Since then, I have owned 3 German shepherds and have dog sat, walked and trained before. So I have experience in all aspects! I work about 4-6 hours a day Monday through Saturday so I have majority of the day to walk and play with pups anytime in the late morning through evening! Depending on the home, I can take the pets out on a leash, or play with them in the backyard depending on their energy and how playful they are!

“Hilary did an awesome job with our 2 cats! She was on time, fed and medicated them, hung out with them and sent pix! She is by far the best person we've ever had watch our cats. Hilary took care of cleaning the litter and bringing in the mail every day, too. We highly recommend her - she clearly enjoys what she does, and we are super grateful!”

About: Hi! I'm a 19-year-old responsible and energetic pet lover based in Ashburn, VA. I've grown up with dogs (a lovable senior basset hound and a prickly Pekingese who has passed on) and a cat (spunky Lulu), which has given me hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I genuinely enjoy spending with animals and making them feel loved. I'm currently working part-time over the summer, so I'm flexible and have time to take care of your fur babies. I'm available for flexible daytime, evening, and weekend services around the Ashburn area. I always do a Meet & Greet first to make sure it is a good fit for you and your pet. You can count on daily photo/video updates so you'll never have to worry how your pet is doing. No matter what the environment, safety first is my top priority. I always follow your care instructions carefully and pay close attention to any changes in behavior or appetite. During walks, I keep dogs securely on a leash/harness. For drop-ins and house sitting, I keep the house secure and get in contact with you right away if there are any issues.

About: I have had and taken care of pets since I was 6 years old. Experienced with animals at all different phases of their lives ranging from puppies/kittens to seniors. Highly skilled walker, playmate, and belly rub giver! I have plenty of time during the week and weekends to look after your pets! Willing to drop in whenever your fur baby needs it. I understand each pet has their own unique personality. I will adapt to your pet's specific needs. I will give them the attention they need and loving care while you are away.

About: I've had a dog of my own for 12 years now and have grown up knowing how to properly take care of him. I have also done dog sitting for neighbors and family friends throughout my life. My top priority is your dog. I currently do not work so my schedule is completely open for walks, overnights, and playtime. Although, I might be taking care of multiple dogs at a time which would fill up my schedule but that can be worked around. I'll communicate with you to get your dog's needs and personality/behavior of your dog. I am always on time. I respect the dog's boundaries to make sure they are calm with me in their space. I'll send updates and pictures of your dog while you're away.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 8. Have had 3 different dogs - all of who I have raised since they were puppies. I have groomed, bathed, walked and potty trained all three. I am also the go to dog sitter in my family. Currently working full-time but I work from home most days a week (only have to go into the office once a week) so I can babysit doggies while I work virtually. I will go to your home and make your doggy feel loved and care for. Will feed as indicated and make sure I play and cuddle them. Can bring my puppy along if desired once he has all his vaccines in a few weeks.

“Ava was a great sitter for our two cats!”

About: Hi! My name is Jordyn and I am 25 years old. I have had dogs my whole life, and I love them! I have had a Husky and Labrador Retriever, a Rottweiller, and I currently have a Goldendoodle that I have cared for since she was a puppy. I used to dog sit/walk for friends and family members, and have multiple years of experience on Rover. Now I hope to help take care of your dog too! I have taken care of many dogs ranging from Papillions to Great Danes. I love interacting with all breeds of dogs. I am available Thursday through Sunday. I would be happy to care for your dog! I work a hybrid schedule and will typically be available Thursday through Sunday to do walks, house sit, or do drop in visits for your pet. I always make sure doors and other entrances are closed and locked upon entry and exit. Your pet will always have food and water according to owner instructions.

About: Ive taken care of and had animals since I can remember both personally and professionally, in work settings, family settings and more. I love being able to love someone’s pet and help take care of them as my work and it is something I am passionate about! Trust is super important in this line of work when people trust you to take care of their furry babies. I want to always honor that trust and take good care of all my clients fur babies as if they were my own. I am currently a student mostly working during the summers part time but my schedule is very flexible since I do my schooling online. I also have a very clingy weenier dog that also benefits from me having a flexible schedule to stay home with her more. In a clients home I like to make sure I have full instructions on what expectations are which will be discussed before I can confirm on whether or not I have availability for that animal. If I take the job on I like to keep in contact with the owners about everything I do within their property and with their animals to make sure everything goes smoothly. I like to also send pictures of walks or stays to share with the owner to help them and show them what we are up to. Transparency helps build our relationship further with the owner and the furry friends.

About: I’ve always had a dog as a part of my life growing up ever since I was 6. In more recent years, I was the co-pet parent of a dog for roughly 3 years, and I’d like to think he turned out pretty well. I have some decent knowledge and experience when it comes to handling and training dogs, namely by encouraging desired behaviors through positive reinforcement. While my experience may not be the most comprehensive, I’d like to think I more than make up for it with my love for dogs! Some day I’d love to have one of my own, but with my current life schedule and commitments, it’s just not in the cards for me. I’ve recently had the privilege of dipping my toes into fostering pups, which has taught me a lot about caring for a dog by myself. In the meantime, I’m perfectly content walking, caring for, and loving your dog just as if it was my own! I currently work full time 9-5 (generally) M-F, but I do have periods of flexibility when I can come walk/pet sit during the day. I’m also able to take some days of the week remote. I do have some after work commitments during the week days, but they’re relatively minimal, flexible, and I’m willing to work with you to find out what works best for you, me, and your pup! I have a fairly good understanding of dog body language and mannerisms and will, under no circumstances, put your dog in any position of discomfort in your home or on our walks. I will be sure to give your dog plenty of attention and playtime, but not to the extent that the dog feels uncomfortable or threatened by me. When it comes to walks, your dog is the boss-it’s their time to sniff, exercise, and do their business while I’m just along to chaperone them. That being said, I’ll make sure to avoid any altercations with other dogs or people by limiting those interactions on walks.

“Ginger seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. Carleigh sent a photo and followed up, even though it was just a quick check-in. We are very happy to have met Carleigh!”
