House Sitting in Aurora Highlands, Arlington, VA

“Mega was an amazing sitter!! She was so great with my dog, and incredibly kind and communicative. It was so wonderful to have peace of mind while leaving my dog home for the evening. Would highly recommend Mega to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

“Chelsey helped me out with my pup’s daily walks on short notice. She was professional and trustworthy and I would certainly hire her again. Thank you!”

“Tara was amazing. She was very communicative and sent tons of pictures. She took great care of my baby and I will definitely be booking her again!”

“I felt very comfortable leaving our senior cat with Aidan! He followed her medication/feeding schedule perfectly and left our apartment neat and tidy.”

About: I've always loved caring for animals, when a close family friend's elderly dog became ill, and they were busy with work and needed a sitter, I looked after her. Due to this experience, I am able to care for any pet and follow medication needed regardless of age. I also cared for a two-year-old pup with a recurring ear and skin infection and took steps to follow the vet's order, such as regularly cleaning out his ears and applying ointment, and bathing him in a prescribed shampoo. I am currently in University, and fortunately it is only 15-20 minutes from my home! I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet and take them out for walks since my apartment complex is pet friendly with plenty of grassy areas! My apartment is quite spacious and to avoid your pet becoming overwhelmed in an enclosed space, I will ensure that they get out for a long walk once or twice a day. There are no pets in my home if there is any concern in that regard. If you prefer me to take care of your pet in your own home, I will follow the same steps!

“Jamie took great care of my condo and dogs, they greeted me with smiling faces and wagging tails. I will use her in the future for my pet care needs.”

“Carrie is professional, very responsive, dependable, and also a very friendly person. She made our trip possible by taking excellent care of our dog Ping Pong for 5 days and 4 nights and even stayed many hours later on the final day to make sure he wasn't too lonely waiting for us to return. We highly recommend! Thanks Carrie!”

“Ellyana & Alexander watched our two dogs and stayed in our apartment for four days and we can’t recommend them enough. They were conscientious and visited several times to get to know the dogs before the visit. They showed up on Time and took great care of our dogs (one of them was sick during the visit- so this added a challenge). They kept us posted and left the apartment clean and in good shape. We have one old dog and one much younger and they gave each one the love they needed while we were away. We will definitely hire them again.”

“I had to make arrangements for a sitter with very short notice. I am new to the area and was terrified to leave my two dogs so soon after moving. Felicia and Michelle were amazing and I’m so grateful they were willing to help. They sent regular updates and pictures. I highly recommend!”

“Dara housesat our two large dogs for a long evening while we went to a concert! The dogs immediately warmed up to her and we came back to two happy, resting dogs. Dara communicated so well with us from the planning stage all the way through to the end. I really appreciated how detail oriented she was when asking about routines, safety, and each dogs’ likes and dislikes. She also seemed genuinely excited to hang out with our dogs. She managed our dogs who both have some behaviours (one food guards and my foster is not good on a leash) beautifully. I will definitely book her again.”

“I have two large, active dogs. Robert did a great job watching both over a long weekend, lots of exercise and attention. If he can handle my dogs, he can handle nearly any dog.”

“Jenny was great! This was my first time leaving Koda with someone other than family, and as he was coming off an illness, I was especially nervous. He quickly warmed to Jenny and was well taken care of the entire week. She kept me updated daily with pictures and my vacation was better seeing that he was doing fine and happy.”

“Emiya is a great dog sitter. She’s communicative, caring, and sweet. She has stayed in my home twice and has always respected our space. I highly recommend!”

“Lili is amazing with dogs and has been a responsible dog owner her entire life. Although I try to earn the love of both of her current dogs, I know they’ll never love me as much as they do Lili. She has also been amazing looking after my sister’s 3 dogs (great dane, German shepherd, German short haired pointer) who also love her very much. Whenever we are out together, she has fun pointing out dogs and would pet them all if she could. I have no doubt that Lili will be an amazing person to care for anyone’s fuzzy friend!”

“Sierra was amazing with our dogs. My black lab, Summer, has incontinence issues and Sierra was gentle and caring with her. She is incredibly responsible and loving with animals. She treated our dogs like they were her own. Responsive and kind hearted, she is an awesome person to look after your furbabies!”

“I’ve used Rover for a number of years and Christina is by far the best sitter we’ve had. Excellent communication. Clearly got our dog. Took great care of our home. Our dog was as happy as can be when we returned and the house was immaculate. Really great experience for us.”

“Antonique was very communicative and flexible! I appreciated her sending me many pictures and videos, and leaving my home in such good condition after house sitting. She took good care of my pets and I would certainly book her again.”

“Lauren is an absolute gem! I could not recommend her enough. I had a last minute booking for a weekend, so she was super flexible and responsive. My dog, June is a 1 year old corgi that has endless energy and LOVED her time with Lauren.”

“Brandon was amazing with our senior cat and new puppy! They both loved him and we will definitely ask him to sit for us again. Thank you Brandon!”

About: Hi! I have taken care of dogs and cats in many capacities for the last 5 years. I have boarded dogs, fostered dogs and cats, as well as enjoyed many dog walks and hikes :) I love going for a stroll around the neighborhood and it’s always more fun to have a canine companion with me. I am currently working with a flexible work from home schedule, and can typically accommodate pet care on most days. Weekends are always easiest but I am also available on weekdays! I live in an apartment, and I have a great dog park and huge fenced in field across the street from my building that dogs love to roam and play fetch in. If your furry family is more on the reserved side, I tend to walk around the quiet suburbs just half a mile from me.
