About: Hi, I’m Andrea! I’ve always loved being around dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, so I make communication a priority by sending regular updates and photos throughout each stay. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I always try to match each dog’s routine and comfort level. Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or just a calm environment to relax in, I make sure they receive patience, attention, and affection during their stay. My goal is to create a clean, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels at home. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions you provide so your dog receives personalized care every time. I know every pet is different, and I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and owners. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! During my care I schedule specific times for feeding, walking, and play sessions, ensuring that every pet in my care receives consistent attention and affection. Caring for pets in my home involves creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment that caters to their individual needs. I start by designating specific areas for feeding, sleeping, and play to maintain a structured routine. I ensure these spaces are clean, free of hazards, and stocked with toys, bedding, and other essentials.

About: Whether your doggo needs a walking buddy while you’re at the office, or your cat needs checking in on while you’re away, I look forward to the opportunity to meet you both! I have taken care of friends’ and family’s pets for years. Everything from sassy cats to lil Pomeranians to big baby German Shepards. My work schedule varies and I prefer to confirm with pet parents about a week or two ahead of time. Even on days I’m listed as unavailable, I often can do an evening walk after 6pm so feel free to send me a message! I’d be happy to drop in at your home for your pet and can spend as little or as much time as you’d like with them. I have some plants toxic to pets in my home so I’m not able to open my home just yet.

“Molly was great! She was responsive and communicative. She followed our list and shared updates both for our pet and on our home. Our home was tidy (no spills or messes). My cat who is terrified of strangers even came out from under the bed for her which is HUGE. Would definitely have her back!”

“I would 100 percent rebook with Quantairra. She provided fabulous pictures of my cats playing while I was away, and when I returned from my vacation, my cats were so content with her visits that they didn't rush to the door to meet me. They almost always do this. I'm so happy with her help with my pets. Highly recommend!”

“Leo is wonderful!! He kindly agreed to come to a meet and greet, he’s so chill and genuinely has such a kind demeanor. He is on time (even early) and spends the entire time booked playing/walking or caring for your animal. He’s watched my 7 month old doodle 2x now and will be our regular dog sitter! Would recommend without a doubt :)”

“Marilyn is an excellent cat sitter who goes above and beyond. She paid very close attention to the instructions that were given for my cat. She attended to everything that I asked her to do. She provided me with detailed updates on my cat. Despite my cat being shy, she managed to get pictures of him that I enjoyed seeing. I was most impressed with the efforts she made to connect with my cat who doesn’t typically respond well to strangers and is very skittish. She seemed very invested in making sure that he was doing reasonably well. I got the impression that she cared for my cat in the same loving way that she cares for her own pets. Her willingness to help on short notice was much appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Marilyn and plan to arrange for her to care for my cat in the future.”

About: Hello! My wife and I would love to take care of your dog. We both love dogs and have been taking care of dogs for the last three years. We are a very fun and active family. Together with our beautiful lab dachshund mix, Lucy, enjoy going on long walks, mostly in the mornings and afternoons. Most mornings we end up going to the dog park since we love that our Lucy and the dogs we are watching have fun and spend their energy. We live in an apartment, and will be able to cater to any of your dog’s needs. I work from home so I am almost always available for dog sitting and boarding, just let me know and we’ll figure out the best times for your schedule. I take the dogs outside every couple hours, and for a walk in the morning and evenings. I also have a large crate if your dog is crate trained, dog beds, and many toys.

About: I’ve had all types of pets growing up from fish, turtles, cats, three dogs, a bunny, an insane amount of guinea pigs you name it. Always loved furry friends. I recently relocated to the DMV area and had to leave my job. I wanted to do something I love and I love animals so I have plenty of free time for your babies! I like to make sure furry friends are fed, walked, and enriched with fun stimulating activities. Rest assured your furry friend and safe and cared for.

Jesse is so caring and sweet with my puppy, Bellini. He came every day for a week to let her out at lunch and go for a walk. He was always on time, very responsive, and took lots of photos! Even when she had an upset stomach and had an accident, he took such great care of her and cleaned up an unfortunate mess. We will definitely book with Jesse and his wife again! Our Bellini has a new best friend!
