About: I have experience caring for all kinds of pets and understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, affection, and keeping pets on their normal routine. I have a flexible schedule amd am able to work from home. I genuinely enjoy making pet care part of my daily routine. As a dog and cat owner myself, I'm already used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and companionship throughout the day. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and helping keep your pets comfortable and cared for while you're away. I'll always do my best to accommodate your pet's normal routine and needs, and will treat them as if they were my own. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I treat every animal like they're my own. I always pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, leash safety, and each pet's unique personality and comfort level. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I aim to create a calm, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel safe, secure, and well cared for. I work from home 3 days a week and love walking often—caring for pets fits perfectly into my flexible, animal-loving daily routine! Walks or visits! I follow each pet’s routine closely, providing loving attention, play, walks, clean-ups, and comfort—whether in my home or theirs. Safety and respect always comes first.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, have a 2.5 y/o dog of my own and have fostered several dogs. I love all dogs and am very enthusiastic to get to know yours and put the time in to their care that you would. I will never give them less attention than they deserve. I have my own dog who I have trained from a puppy and am happy to enforce all household training and rules. My schedule is flexible and can ensure plenty of walks and potty breaks. I do work in person but have the ability to stop by at lunch times and other hours as needed. I have access to many green spaces and am very happy to take dogs on long walks/runs off the street in controlled environments. I have experience with reactive dog and keep them and everyone safe.

“Hannah was great getting Logan moving in the middle of the day while I was at work. She's super responsive and was a huge help to me in my first week back in the office.”

“Eric has been great! He is very patient with our puppy who is scared of everything. He is also incredibly communicative about any scheduling issues or concerns.”

Michael O.

“Charles has been amazing and we’re so grateful for his help as my wife and I transitioned to having to go back into the office most days. He’s responsive and communicative, and he’s taken great care of our Luna for her afternoon walks. The summary of the walks (and pictures) he provides each day have been super appreciated!”

About: I have a cat back home who is 8 years old, so I understand daily care, patience, and responsibility. I also volunteered at a cat café and an animal shelter for three years, where I helped with feeding, cleaning, socializing cats, and basic care. I’m calm, attentive, and always focused on pets’ comfort and safety.^^ I’m currently a graduate student so I can give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs, especially for feeding times and check-ins. I always prioritize pets’ safety and comfort. I carefully follow owners’ instructions for feeding, routines, and medication if needed. I keep the environment clean, calm, and secure, and I closely monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health. I treat every pet with patience, care, and respect, as if they were my own.

About: I've owned a dog since Summer 2022 and have previously dog sat for friends and family. I love animals and will do whatever is necessary to provide them the care they need. I currently work full-time remote and have the flexibility to get check on your pets throughout the day. I don't travel too much so I am consistently in town and available. I am calm and approachable and don't mind dealing with high energy pets. Both of my dogs have been very high energy and needed lots of attention so I am used to being very engaged

About: I have pet-sat for people in my neighborhood for around 10 years. I have watched dogs of all ages and sizes and am flexible with the amount of times you want me to come/what type of care you need for your pets! I can do overnight or drop-in walks! References are available upon request!! I work from home most weekdays and am available on weekends, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pets! I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and throughout the weekend. I also offer overnight and extended pet sitting, whether that means staying in your home or stopping by multiple times a day. I truly love spending time with animals and have over 10 years of pet-sitting experience. My goal is to make sure your pets feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands!! I have pet sat for dogs of all ages and will adjust my care for your dog based on their needs. I offer walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care for when you are out of town and they need someone to be around!! I have been walking dogs and petsitting for over 10 years in the northern VA area and have many references available!

“Noah has been great with our dog Toph, who can be a handful. He’s very responsive and follows our detailed instructions well. We are thankful to have his help.”

About: I’m a caring and responsible pet owner with over 2 years of hands-on experience taking care of my own cats every day. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routines, providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes, giving plenty of playtime, and paying close attention to their behavior and health. I have also helped friends care for their pets while they were away. I know that every pet has a different personality, so I’m patient with shy or anxious animals and happy to give energetic pets the attention and exercise they need. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available every day of the week, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I can provide pet care at any time of the day and accommodate different schedules, whether you need morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care. I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s routine and your schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise routines, and any special requirements. I take time to build trust with every pet and always provide photo and message updates so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.
