About: I've been caring for pets since I was a young child. I've learned how to identify and read body language of animals and have a unique way of bonding with and calming anxious pets of all sizes. I have a very loveable 2 year old pit bull that has been socialized her whole life with cats, dogs, and humans. She is a happy wigglebutt and is very easy to get along with. Your pet will have a big back yard to play in and and nice calming room to rest in during its stay. Rest assured while you are away from your furry family member. I work from home, so your pet will get plenty of exercise, love, and attention. For days that I may travel, I will ensure my calendar is updated to reflect non-availability. I have a room dedicated for pet boarding. There is a TV that will play the dog or cat channel depending on who my guest is. There is roughly an acre of fenced in yard in the back of my home and also a walking trail near the home. I will follow your instructions for care and/or medication application to the T.

“Yeny and Ray were so accommodating for our pup, we needed someone to watch our dog and they were the only ppl that could last minute. We couldn’t have chosen anyone better to watch our baby. They were so caring , kind and truly made us feel at ease. We were sent updates and photos throughout our dogs stay, which we appreciated. I wish I lived in VA they would be an easy pick ! Thank you again !”

“Svetlana took great care of our 2 dogs on a last minute notice for the day. She is so kind, and good with the dogs. Her house is clean and tidy (1 of my dogs likes to chew everything), and she has a nice large fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in. I highly recommend her, and will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much!!”

About: I have always had a dog for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and I love them. We currently have two dogs. I have a male Golden doodle named Bo and a female Teddy Bear named Annie. I like to walk the dogs for two 30 minute walks a day. I’m a stay at home, homeschooling mom. I have a 6 year old, 9 year old, 12 year old and 15 year old at home. Everyone loves dogs. We have a routine with the dogs and they are part of the family. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I am a firm believer that dogs need to be walked. I walk my dogs for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon on a walking path behind my house. I keep jingle bells on my door and my dogs ring them to go outside to potty. We have a finished basement if a dog needs to be kept from another dog. I have options to separate them if necessary.

About: My own dog, Finneas, has been staying with a friend since I shipped for the Navy last year. I'm currently in Virginia awaiting my next set of full-time orders and am missing canine companionship. I have experience with socializing feral kittens, teaching violent dogs their manners, and easing pups into obedience training. I love hiking so I'm absolutely willing to take your pup on more difficult terrain if they have vigorous energy needs. My schedule is very flexible. I don't mind being up early or doing overnight duty if your schedule needs it! Occasionally I'll have military obligations but they should be reflected on my calendar. I cannot host your pups here as I live with a senior Chihuahua. However, in your home I promise to treat your space with dignity and respect as if it were mine own and to triple-check any special instructions you may leave!

“Melissa was GREAT with Max! We booked her with little notice and she was very accommodating. She sent pictures of Max playing with her 2 dogs and he appeared to be having a great time. He was so wore out when he got home he had to nap before having his dinner. I would highly recommend her to other pup parents, and I will definitely be using her again. Thank you Melissa!”

“I had to be in Fredericksburg for 2 meetings so my schedule was not firm. Angel was very accommodating and so pleasant. My little Chihuahua, Abby, was very happy with her. Angel took great care with Abby. Angel is very knowledgeable about animals. I would definitely use her again.”

About: I enjoy being around animals, fur babies are the sweetest. I try my best to make sure they are comfortable around me and not push them to like me right away, I am so use to watching my own pets that now that my dogs have passed I have all this time available. My routine stays the same for me. Providing food water, exercise, walks are amazing for pets to help with their mood. Clear countertops to ensure dogs don’t have access to garage bags, even if I’m in a fence yard supervise pets during outdoor activities. Very mindful of potential hazards. Provide a comfortable environment for the pet.

“My husband and I were in the area visiting and wanted to spend the day in DC. Stephanie and her family watched our two dogs for the day. She sent us lots of pictures and updates during the day! When we are back in the area we will use her again!”

“This was Khloe first time with Cindy and she was so comfortable there. Cindy said it took her about an half an hour to get comfortable but after a few belly rubs she was fine. Cindy sent pictures and was wonderful. I will definitely book her again!”

About: I have always had a dog in the family to care for, however recently this summer I cared for many pets over week long periods. I wake up to feed and walk my dog every morning so I am already in the groove of petting sitting from the moment I wake up. I am always cautious and safe when caring for my clients. At my house, I have a fenced in back yard as well as two friendly dogs that love to play.

“Rachel did amazing with my German Shepherd puppy Chief! She was ready for the usual puppy shenanigans and just rolled with it! I appreciate all the pictures I got and she had great communication. Will definitely be rebooking!”

Devan G.

“Ashley and her bf were amazing! I am so glad I booked with them to take care of Buko. She sent picture updates often and accommodated our late pick up times bc of my sisters wedding! If I ever needed a sitter in VA again I would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

Christine E.

“10 out of 5 stars. Doreen is wonderful and took great care of my pup as if he were family. I will definitely book again with her!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was young, and having a dog of my own thats like family, means I know how important it is to find trusted pet care. I will do my best to make you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease. I’m currently pet sitting full time so my schedule is flexible for your needs. I’m free to house sit, walk dogs, care for cats, and board overnight. If you choose me to care for your pet in my home, I have a friendly 6 year old husky that’s amazing with other dogs and even cats. I live in an apartment so I regularly go on long walks and spend time at the dog park with her, we would love for your pet to join us. I’m also available for house sitting/ walking dogs. I’m willing to do whatever I can to make them feel at home while you’re away. I will make sure to engage them in playtime if they’re up to it, respect their space if they need it, and follow any instructions you’ve left for me.
