““We couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for our furry family member! Aphra’s attention to detail and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. Our pet’s Kyra and Brutus, were pampered and showered with affection during their visits. Aphra’s updates and photos were a heartwarming touch, providing us with much-needed reassurance. Her reliability and professionalism make her our go-to sitter from now on. Thank you, Aphra, for providing such exceptional care!””


“My dogs are particular hesitant with strangers and as soon as they met Bailey they seemed entranced by her; she was impeccable. My girls seemed to just trust her immediately which is incredible relief for myself. She has a wonderful aura that drew my girls attention to listen and depend on her. Thank you again for coming into our home and helping us learn to trust again.”



“She was great! She was on time, sent us lots of pictures, kept us informed on everything, and went above and beyond. Our dog was content and happy when we got home and we are very appreciative.”


“Callie is such a thoughtful and kind human being. She took care of my elderly kitty while I was away for the weekend. Her care set my mind at ease so I could thoroughly enjoy my time away.”


“This was our first time using Nicole! She came for a Meet & Greet, went above and beyond for our Critters! This is the first time using a Critter Sitter that we arrived home, and our dogs were CALM! They ran over to us like we had been at the store, not gone for days! I would recommend her 100%”


About: For over 38 years, I have had animals from cats, dogs, and pigs. I have a dedicated love and passion for animals; everything from walks to cuddles to playtime and treats. I'll make sure your fur babies feel loved, happy, and healthy. I am reliable and compassionate and excited to take care of your babies while you are away. I work in the cities and have a flexible schedule. I will ensure proper and adequate exercise and attention is given to ensure your babies feel loved and attended to during the day. My priority is to ensure the safety so I will first check for fencing and leashing preferences of the family to ensure we are safe. I’ll also seek to understand all relevant home rules as they relate to pets and preferences.

About: I’ve grown up with all different breeds and ages of dogs. I understand that all dogs have different personalities and their own traits that make them unique. I love getting to know their different personalities!! I currently work full time as a nurse but I have many days off during the week and weekends. My schedule varies slightly from week to week. But when I’m off, I’m usually spending time at home! I have my own fur baby who gets along great with other dogs and loves to have company! I allow him free rein of the house if I have to leave for any reason. But I do have a kennel and am able to gate off areas of my house if needed! My family has a farm place about a mile away with a large fenced in area that my dog loves to run in. I also love going for walks and cuddling on the couch and watching movies with my pup.

About: I’ve had animals in my house for basically my whole life. I grew up with all kinds of animals in my home. I’ve gotten puppies that I had to train, and even older dogs that needed a refresher.

Animal care comes first and I will make sure your pet gets everything they need while you’re away. I will always give 100% and treat your baby like my own. I will be respectful and responsible when in your home. I’ll follow any directions you give about how to care for your furry friend :)

About: Family bred dogs since I was 3, have experience with many different breeds, empathetic to their needs, firm with commands but generous with the treats Currently work full time from 8 a.m.-4:30p.m. So can work anytime after 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, but can work anytime on weekends during any time. Like to look around the setting and see any possible hiding spots the animal can get into, and figure out animals favorite spots, toys, treats

I can also babygate dogs off separately (carpeted den) so that your pup feels safe. I don't use crates but can accommodate yours. My pups go outside every 2-3 years so pottying is no issue. There is a new Vet in Fairfax, 4 blocks away in an emergency situation. I DO NOT smoke, DO NOT drink, have an extremely well-cared for home and know it is difficult to travel or take day trips especially if you do NOT want to board your pet risking illness or injuries. Boarding facilities can cause kennel cough, terror and dogs feeling abandoned. I occasionally travel and bring my dogs with me on any road trips and know how hard it is to find someone you trust with your pup. I can text or video your pup's stay to ensure you have constant contact with him/her.
