About: I have a 6-year-old Goldendoodle who I’ve been caring for since she was just 8 weeks old! Through the years, I’ve gained plenty of experience with the day-to-day responsibilities of pet care, from walks and playtime to making sure she feels happy, safe, and loved. I also help care for my parents’ dogs whenever I can and have experience looking after friends’ pets as well. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own! I work in the hospital, so my schedule varies from week to week, but I typically only work about three shifts per week! This gives me flexibility on my days off to spend time with your furry friends. I’m happy to coordinate with you ahead of time to find a schedule that works best for you and your pet! As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, respect your instructions, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away!

“Vinnie was very thorough by coming over the day before to prepare for the walk for the first time and fully knew what to do with Olive. Will definitely rebook!”

About: Hi, I'm Alyssa! Dogs and cats have been part of my life for decades, and caring for them is my passion. I've pet sat for all kinds of personalities, from playful pups to cuddly cats, and I treat every pet like my own. Expect walks, snuggles, playtime, and regular updates so you can travel worry-free. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I'm currently working part time, so my schedule is flexible and I'm home for much of the day. That means I can stick to your pet's normal feeding, walk, and play schedule, give them plenty of attention, and be available for last-minute or extended stays. Your pet won't be left alone for long stretches with me. In my home, pets get a safe, comfortable space with their own bed, plenty of playtime, regular walks, and lots of attention. I follow your pet's feeding, medication, and bedtime routines so they stay comfortable and feel at ease. In your home, I keep your pet's routine as close to normal as possible, with feedings, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles on their usual schedule. I also bring in mail, tidy up after your pet, and send you photo and text updates throughout the stay.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, from working breeds on the farm to small companion dogs, cats, and fish. I’ve pet sat for family, rescued animals, and learned that every pet has their own personality and needs. As a rescue dog mom myself, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I treat every animal in my care like family, whether they need playtime, extra attention, or simply a little patience and companionship. I have a very flexible schedule. Whether overnights or dropping by, Let me know what time or day you need me and I will be there. It all depends on the animals personality, and needs. I will do whatever the instructions or recommendations are with a personal touch of a whole lot of love.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages since I was young. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I’m available for pet care on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During these days, I have dedicated time to focus fully on each pet’s needs, including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I prioritize safety and follow all care instructions closely. I keep a clean, calm environment and always supervise pets. I’m comfortable with crates, routines, medications if needed, and I provide regular updates to pet parents for peace of mind.

About: I’ve been around animals most of my life and some of my favorite people are Furry Ones! I’m always up for walks, visits and snuggles! Summer Hours Update: I am available anytime during the summer! I’m not limited to my school schedule until August 10th, 2026 I’m looking to make some new furry friends! I teach elementary school, so I’m up early and at work by 7am, and out of work by 3:00. I’m available most weekdays for walks and visits 3-10 pm. I also am available most weekends all day! I will take care of your pet as I would my own! I am available to come to your home, and when I am caring for your pets I will give them extra time and attention. My drop-in visits are usually at least an hour, especially if there are more than just one pet. Our cat prefers to be a consistent Only Child, so bringing your pet to my house is unfortunately not an option currently. If you have them, I prefer written specific needs/directions so that there is no confusion about what your pet’s needs are.

“Laila is always punctual and great with communication. She is extremely flexible whenever we have any changes to our schedule. Harper loves her and so do we:)”

Katherine K.

“We couldn't be happier with the care Rocky provides for Tucker & Colorado! Rocky is extremely reliable, punctual, and communicative...we love getting the updates and photos after every walk. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our boys are in such great, caring hands while we're at work. Highly recommend!”

About: I love animals. I started dog sitting for fun side hustle when I was in college and loved it enough to turn it in to profession. I also worked at a doggy daycare in Sterling for two years. Where I got to experience everything about dogs. I am well equipped with all the knowledge I need for taking care of your fur babies at any age and condition. I work part-time at doggy daycare in Sterling so it leaves me with a-lot of free time at home to look after your fur babies. Also my husband works from home most days. So your pets will always have a company. I adapt to their needs. It’s very important that I get detailed information about how you need me to care for pets. Any allergies, triggers to aggressive behavior/what calms them down. Also following my natural instinct on how animals are feeling I will adjust. I am able to provide food/water bowls, slow feeder, cognitive toys, blankets, beds and crate if needed.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, so I’ve had years of experience caring for animals and learning how to handle different personalities and needs. I’ve dog sat before and really enjoyed it—it made me realize how much I love being around animals. I love both dogs and cats, and I feel really comfortable caring for either. I’m a trustworthy, responsible person who takes pet care seriously, whether that means sticking to routines, going on walks, or just making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, not just “watching” them. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits pretty easily into my routine. I’m flexible with my schedule, so I can plan around walks, feeding times, and whatever each pet needs day to day. I’m already someone who likes staying active and being out and about, so I don’t mind making time for drop-ins, walks, or longer stays. I’m good with sticking to routines and making sure pets get consistent care and attention while their owners are away. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and sticking closely to their normal routine, feeding, walks, meds if needed, and any specific instructions. I’m very mindful about safety, like making sure doors are locked, leashes are secure, and always keeping a close eye on pets. I treat every animal like my own, so I’m really attentive to their behavior and needs. I also respect the home I’m in and keep things clean and organized. Overall, I try to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel cared for while their owners are away.

I currently work with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of dedicated time to give your pet all the love and attention they need.

About: Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to care for my neighbor’s dog from time to time. I’ve enjoyed getting to know their personality and making sure they receive plenty of attention, care, exercise, and companionship while their owner is away. This experience has strengthened my love for dogs and taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and dependable when caring for someone’s pet. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m able to work walks into my daily and weekly schedule and can be flexible with timing based on each dog’s needs. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when caring for someone’s pet, so I’ll make sure to communicate clearly and be dependable with scheduled walks. My main service is dog walking, and my priority is making sure each dog gets a safe, enjoyable, and comfortable walk. I’ll take the time to follow your instructions and learn your dog’s routine, personality, and needs. I’m also happy to provide fresh food and water when needed and will make sure your dog is comfortable and cared for before I leave. Most importantly, I’ll treat every dog with patience, attention, and care.

About: I am a lover of all animals and I currently have my tabby cat, April. My mom is a dog walker, and through her, I’ve been exposed to dogs of all breeds and watched how she lovingly cares for them. I’ve accompanied her on countless walks during my free time and I’m very familiar with the dog walking procedures. Additionally I’ve walked and overnight cared for my sister’s 2 dogs on occasion over the years. I’m eager to learn more and build great relationships with your fur babies! I have just relocated to Charlestown and for the time being, I have full availability for dog walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting at your home. I think this will be a great way for me to explore and get acquainted with the city! When caring for your fur baby, I will carefully follow any instructions given to me regarding feeding, play time, and walking. I’ll always ensure the safety of your pet comes first, staying aware and cautious of other dogs, bikers, and traffic. Gaining their trust and giving them affection follows right behind that!

About: I have watched dogs and cats all my life! Now since I am older I have a cat and two dogs myself.It’s always been hard for me to find someone I trust to care for my pets, nothing better than having someone competent and detailed caring for my pet so I don’t have to worry while I’m away. I currently work as a professional soccer player with Loudoun United FC right here in Loudoun County. After work every day I go on walks to recover so going on walks is something that I already do ! I walk dogs and care for cats. Obviously cats can tend to hide but I try to make myself friendly enough to offer play and pets. Dogs I love to take around the neighborhood or to a park in the area. There’s balls bluff, beaverdam, Seneca regional! If that is your preferred I would love to take them out to the woods as well!

“Kally has been so great with Aurie! She keeps her word, and takes such great care of her. We have been very happy with her services and will definitely use her again.”

About: Hello there! I am currently open for new clients! My full time client just left us to head out west. We will miss them badly, but look forward to bringing on other pets. I would love to care for your pets as my own! We do have a small Chihuahua mix named Fabel. She is great with all dogs and cats. I also have to be the ones that are 10 and 6 that are great little helpers. We have trails close by with lots of grassy areas to run around. We love long walks, play, & cuddles. No rules, your sweet pups are allowed wherever they’d like to go, but I do make sure all your rules and schedules are followed :) My weekly routine is simple. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to work around your schedule and attend to all your sweet pups needs I follow your schedule provided, but I also allow your pup to lead the way. If they want to play, we play. We take walks. Cuddles. Whatever your pup is used to and likes we’ll follow along.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, and family friends, including paid dog walking and pet sitting. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’m committed to providing dependable care and keeping owners updated while they’re away. I’ll treat your pet with the same attention and care they receive at home. Besides my job, pet care fits well into my weekly routine, allowing me to provide reliable and flexible care. I make time for what they need and I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is doing well. I always follow the owner’s instructions and keep their routine as consistent as possible. I make sure pets have fresh water, receive meals on schedule, get plenty of exercise and attention, and keep them in a safe environment. During walks, pets securely leashed, and treat every home and pet with respect and care.

“Rasha is AMAZING. I have a nervous, reactive dog and 2 cats. She has done multiple meet and greets with my dog and has shown a great understanding of reactivity and behavioral principles. Rasha has been SO patient with Luna, and is so positive and gentle. I feel secure when Rasha takes Luna out, and that is a big deal. I am so grateful that I found Rasha!”
