About: I’ve had furry family members all my life. Finally got my own and live having a pup to train, pamper and love on. Let me share that experience with you and your pup as well☺️ I work from home, which makes pup care easier. My pup goes on a 30-60min walk or fetch in the fenced s hook fields near me around 7.30-8, eats around 10.30am with a quick walk outside soon after. She naps and is free to play. Last walk and dinner is around 6.30-7.30. Jade sleeps in her crate beside my bed. I’m able to give as much attention to her as needed because my schedule is flexible. I am very tidy and keep hazards away from the pups. I use dog-safe cleaning products. I also have a nest doorbell camera to monitor those coming and going. Plants are out of reach. I have access to fenced parks and fields less than 1min walk where I take Jade regularly. I like to play Chakra Healing Frequencies

About: I am a lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. I love spending time with animals and would be happy to look after your dog when needed. I have taken care of dogs of different sizes and breeds since 2015. I am a teacher and am typically available to host your pets on Fridays after 4:00 PM and anytime on weekends. However, since I am currently on summer break, my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide care throughout the day and accommodate your pet's needs while you are away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine. My goal is to provide a positive and stress free experience for both you and your pet. You can trust that I will treat your dog as if they were my own, ensuring their needs are met and they feel loved and cared for at all times.

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats for years and also helped friends and neighbors with their pets. From feeding to walks and playtime, I make sure every pet feels safe and loved. I work part-time and Lídia works from home full-time, so there’s always someone around to give your pets love and attention every day, even on weekends. We have plenty of time for walks, playtime, and care whenever needed. Your pets will always feel safe and cared for in our home. Lídia works from home all day, so your furry babies are never left alone. We live in a pet-friendly environment and can follow your routine to make sure your dog or cat feels comfortable, whether it’s walks, feeding, or crate time if needed.

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for multiple cats, I’ve developed a deep understanding of feline behavior, needs, and personalities. I currently share my home with two female cats Daisy and Lucy. I’ve nurtured cats from kittenhood through their senior years, providing loving, attentive care every step of the way. While I’m a lifelong cat owner, I also have a genuine love for dogs and enjoy spending time with them just as much, whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or simply giving them the affection they crave. I’m actively working toward a dog training certificate to further strengthen my skills and knowledge. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, especially since I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular feedings, playtime, and any needed care throughout the day. Whether it's scheduled walks, medication, or just some extra cuddle time, I'm able to be present and responsive to each pet’s needs. It's truly a joy to incorporate caring for animals into my everyday life. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and playtime, to ensure consistency and reduce stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of affection, supervision, and enrichment. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and cared for just like they’re my own.

“Corey and Nyla were great with Lola and Coco. They put me at ease with their experience, approach and good communication. They were very sweet to our rescue dogs who are still learning the ropes of a home and sought to make them feel comfortable. We will definitely look to them for future daycare and boarding needs.”

About: I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting! I work from home most of the week and have plenty of time during the day for neighborhood strolls/walks with my rover pups. I love going for walks to take a break so would take the dog out at least 3 or 4 times a day with me. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.

“Nya was so good with Benji! She kept me updated throughout the day and made sure he was good and comfortable which would put any dog owner at ease while away. Thank you again Nya! Will definitely be booking again very soon!”

“My dog had a great time at daycare! Fengyuan provided regular updates throughout the day and I felt comfortable leaving Flynn in his care. Pick up and drop off was quick. Flynn came home happy and most importantly tired after a fun day. Would definitely book again!”

Linda N.

“Within a day's notice, Madina agreed to watch Ali. She was accommodating to an impromptu meet-up and kept an optimistic attitude the entire time. I highly recommend booking with her. Thanks again Madina!”

Shana R.

“Keith and Jessica were very responsive and so sweet! We had a meet and greet before I dropped Charlie off to stay with them for a day and I could tell they just love having dogs around. I’m so glad I could take him to such a kind and caring home!”

About: I’ve loved dogs since as long as I can remember. As a kid, I was always the friend who would come over and play withy friend’s dogs as much as possible since we couldn’t have one due to allergies (my dad). I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs, as I got my own puppy in summer of 2022. My dog is super social/friendly with other dogs and loves to play all day long. I also frequently watch my friend’s dogs whenever they are out of town. You pup will be treated as if they are part of my family! I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, so your dog will be in good hands no matter what! Just let me know any specifics for care and I’ll be sure to take the best care of them! I primarily work from home during the week, so I’ll be around to watch your pup during the day and night! Weekends I am also available to watch the pups! I typically am flexible on whether I leave the dogs home alone and for how long, so just let me know what works for you! I live in a house with a fenced in yard and have one dog of my own who is very social around other dogs. There’s also quite a few parks/fields around me where I typically take my dog, so your pup can get plenty of exercise! We take our dog out 3-4 times a day, but can be flexible for your pets needs! We also have a crate if needed, but we do not crate our dog whenever we leave him at home. We do allow our dog on the furniture (even though he never snuggles us), but can be flexible for whatever you prefer. We also have a doggy camera to keep a close eye on the pups when we aren’t there.

“Iuliia sent pictures and was very communicative throughout our dogs stay! It was a great experience having Pepper stay with her and we will definitely be back.”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with Labs, German Shepherds, and cats taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. I have also volunteered with the Animal Welfare League of Arlington for two years, where I have gained additional experience caring for animals and learning about different behaviors and temperaments. In addition to general pet care, I have informal training experience with dogs, including helping reinforce basic commands, positive behaviors, and good routines. I enjoy working with young pets as they learn and helping senior pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My goal is always to provide the same level of attention, patience, and love that I would want for my own pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely four days a week with a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I am able to accommodate a pet’s normal routine, whether that includes letting dogs outside for breaks, taking them on a midday walk, providing playtime, or simply spending time with them while they relax. I enjoy creating a consistent and comfortable environment for pets while their owners are away. I care for pets by prioritizing their comfort, safety, and normal routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established schedule for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any other specific instructions. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in familiar environments, so I focus on providing consistent care, attention, and companionship while respecting the owner’s home. For each pet, I take time to understand their personality and needs, whether they are energetic and playful, shy and independent, or require extra patience and care. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away.

“Jennifer is so sweet and was able to accommodate me on short notice. Her communication goes above and beyond. I felt like my dog was in the safest hands, with all the love and affection she needed. 10000% recommend, tell your friends!”
