“Andrew was on time and totally respectful. He was very calm with our hyper puppy and did a great job of letting the pup come/warm up to him. We had a few requests (sitting at sidewalks and heeling by people) that make walking the pup a little more work. Andrew was more than happy to work with all of our requests. Definitely recommend!”
“Ronnie was very through with the preparation for service. Asked plenty of questions about habits and routines. Was punctual, and provided exactly what I needed, and will be my 1st ask if necessary in the future.”

“Barbara has been a blessing to me and my golden retriever. My mom passed away about a month ago and she watched over the dog while I was at work so I was in a situation where if I couldn’t create a life for my dog during the hours I’m away from home I would have to think of giving her up and that would have been devastating. Barbara agreed to come out twice a day to take care of Cassidy and she has been the most dependable, caring, and compassionate person to my beloved dog. She was so patient with Cassidy, she was going through a big adjustment with the loss of my mom. Barbara truly spent a lot of time establishing a bond with her and slowly they have developed a nice routine of playing in the backyard. They relax in the sun, play ball and with all her toys. I am very thankful to Barbara for the dependability, her caring nature and the smile on my dog each day I come home let’s me know I chose the right service and the perfect person to care after my dog. Thank you Barbara!”

About: I’ve been caring for/living with dogs since my teens! Always joke with my friends (who agree) saying that I was probably a dog in every life but this one! Your family member is in good hands with me 😊 I work mostly early hours at my full time job, and am available most late afternoons. Pet care is not just work for me, I love animals. Caring for your family member is not just a job, but a genuine passion. *I am able to house/pet sit overnight on Fridays beginning at 5pm. Unfortunately the calendar won’t allow me to adjust individual hours during the day.* I live close to trails and parks in Fairfax! No pets allowed in my apartment currently. But I can care for your pet in your home or follow instructions on what you’d like to do!
About: I got my first dog Roxie at 8 years old. My mom made me a big part of her training and I assumed full responsibility after a few months. Summer 2021, I adopted a dog for myself and it’s been a blast! I have experience handling surgery recovery and medication administration. Douglas and I would love to have some more company over the summer! I work part-time at Lasertron which is only open Thursday-Sunday and though my schedule isn’t the same every weekend I know my shifts are 6-9 hours long. The other days I will be at home with Douglas doing summer classwork and hanging out, and I may volunteer once a week at the hospital though the day has not been set for that yet. I have a 1 y/o 11lbs Yorkiepoo named Douglas living here with me who loves other dogs of all sizes and is extremely tolerant of cats. The neighborhood is pretty quiet but there’s a small dog park and sidewalks throughout the whole neighborhood. Doug generally alerts when he needs to use the restroom and grazes on food, but if there’s a bathroom and food schedule you’d like just let me know.
“Cassidy has been fantastic with my dog Zion. Quick, clear, and frequent communication and pictures. He seems to enjoy the visits and she goes above and beyond to give my needy boy all the belly scratches he desires.”
About: I’ve had family dogs for my entire life! I currently own a sweetest dog named Rocky! Everyday I feel like I get to attached with them more than I do with people! Love taking them out on a walk, dog park, or wherever they want me to take them! I have a summer break until like beginning of September! Would rather have weekends to myself until 2-4pm! If you need me during weekends we could definitely make it work! I live in an apartment so it would be better if your fur babies want to stay at their homes! I can do whatever works the best for them!
About: I used to raise a pug of my own since he was born. He lived until ten and half years old and passed away in 2023 due to hemangiosarcoma. He had it growing slowly over time for few years until the end. There is not much treatments to it which was frustrating and heartbreaking. But he had lived his best life and actually lived his life to the fullest with his silly, wild, and stubborn personalty along with his three legs. He will always be my half and in my heart forever. I am sorely missing him forever. He had been taken care of with plenty of food, love, attention and toys! He met so many people, other dogs including cats! He traveled to many places because he loved to explore! His favorite thing to do is sniff every plant in the nature and mark on them! He is fond over stuffed toys. I take him to vet regularly as necessary to keep tracking on his good health. I also has a lot of experiences with medium to large size dogs before such as black lab, German sheperd, and pit bull. I believe that dogs should be treated as family members with care/love and they are so much alike us emotionally. After all, I am a crazy animal lover and love the compassion/company from furkids. I have plenty of treats and toys for your loved furkid to play with! I love to walk the dogs through the nature trail, too. You are more than welcome to contact me about my dog/cat sitting service! Available almost 24/7. I currently work four overnight shifts a week, but I do sleep five to 8 hours and often woke up to do errands around the house to take care of everything. So, I am mostly available at all times for anything except sleep hours. I tend to sleep at 8am to 2pm or 3pm, but after I woke up, I always check to feed, refill fresh water, and take the pets to restroom and check around the house. My place is near to some parks with long trails which is great for dogs who enjoy the walk! My place have a large space in the neat wooden floor basement (first floor) which will be a great play pen! The basement have the light windows and doors to the backyard! We also have large living room with big couch which our pets love to jump around and play! As for cats, I have a large bedroom which is quiet with door locked at all times. I often access to my bedroom everyday. My cat is currently loving his cozy life in my bedroom with everything of what he have including his own famous cat tree!
About: I’ve cared for a variety of animals throughout my life—including dogs, rabbits, birds, fish, and reptiles. My mom had two Pomeranians and a Shih Tzu, so I’m no stranger to small-breed personalities! I’ve provided pet sitting, walking, grooming, feeding, and even taken pets to vet appointments. Eventually, I’d love to adopt a dog of my own 🥰—but for now, I love caring for other people’s pets like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part time and my schedule is flexible with reasonable notice. Early mornings during the week and some evenings would be okay. I'm also available on the weekends. I'm close to plenty of parks and I also have big yard but it's not fenced in...I have an extra room that will be used for guest pets to sleep in or next to my bed is ok..I would make sure the pet has food and water down, I can administer an medication. I would try to adhere to the pets routine so that he/she is comfortable.I'm located near several parks and have a large yard that's perfect for playtime—though it isn't fenced, I always supervise outdoor time to ensure pets are safe. Inside, I have an extra room available just for guest pets, or they’re welcome to sleep near my bed if that’s what they’re used to. I always make sure pets have fresh food and water, and I’m comfortable administering any medications they may need. Most importantly, I do my best to follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible while you're away.
About: I love pups .. yours and mine! My friends call me the dog whisperer 😊. I’ve had pups for many years .. large and small breeds.

That is a promise 😊 I am retired and I don’t take pets in unless I am certain that I will be spending quality time with them. Most days they are here, I will be here full time with the exception of occasional doctors appointment or store run. Fenced back yard with a great neighborhood for walking. Pups sleep with me and are allowed on furniture 😃. Pups are my priority when I have them.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and truly love being around them. I’ve walked and cared for neighbors’ dogs for years and even volunteered at the SPCA throughout middle and high school, where I got experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’m calm, patient, and attentive—especially with puppies who need a little extra guidance and senior dogs who need extra care. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always prioritize their comfort and happiness. I’m available all day, every day for pet care and super flexible with scheduling. Starting in July, I’ll be available part-time—Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends—so I can still dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for! I always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency when caring for pets—whether in my home or at a client’s. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and make sure each walk or visit is tailored to the dog’s needs and energy level. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like family. I also have my own transportation, so I’m able to drive to homes to let dogs out, take them for walks, and spend time playing or just keeping them company.
About: I’ve had dogs as pets my entire life! I have experience caring for them by feeding, walking and playing with them. I have dog sat for a couple of friends before and i’m looking forward to gaining more experience! I’m currently a student at Nazareth University, so during the summer I will be very available! I plan to continue using Rover into the school year also. At home I have two dogs and two cats! When at a client’s home I will make sure to keep an eye on their pet and follow whatever instructions I am given for care.
