“Janet is wonderful and always takes great care of my very energetic boy. She helped take care of him during a very difficult situation and helped give me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was out of town. Thank you so much for everything Janet ♥️”


“I’ve had Christopher walk my English cocker spaniel a few times now and I still have nothing but good things to say. He’s attentive, he gives her good exercise, and he’s almost always available. When something seems off about her, he lets me know. He’s a really caring, great person, and I HIGHLY recommend.”


“Samantha is very caring and conscientious. She shows up on time and gives me the details of what is happening with my fur baby. I love how she provides pictures and you know your pet will be treated with respect. :)”


“Ms Brianna has helped me since day one! I was worried about moving and finding someone to take care of my puppers but she came through and started communicating with me before my move to reassure me he would be taken care of. I’m so thankful for her and so is Mr. Puppers.”


“Taylor has been walking Benji for a few months now and she’s incredible. Super communicative and also incredibly flexible with all of our crazy schedules. Benji also loves her and she’s so attentive to him and all of his preferences (like when he decides he’s done walking early).”


“Denisa was extremely helpful, understanding, and loving 🥰. She went above and beyond to ensure I was receiving text messages during my trip where I didn’t have access to Wi-Fi. I had a very relaxing vacation time knowing my furry child was in great hands! She also used her language skills to communicate with my mom, who doesn’t speak English, and maintained open communication regarding schedule changes and other challenges we faced. My child is one of those stubborn ones, however, she did what a good pet sitter would do, but she added love ❤️, fun and joy to Polito’s potty time. Every picture and video she shared, showed a super excited and happy child! I highly recommend her! 🥰🐶💕🐾”


About: I volunteer at Advocates for Abused and Abandoned Pets where we care for and foster cats and dogs of all different sizes, shapes, and breeds. I also walk dogs for neighbors every now and again. I am currently going to college part-time during the summer and will switch to full-time during the fall but I will not struggle to take out pets on time I treat pets very well and make sure to treat them as if they were my own pets and make sure to be respectful of the client's home.

“Caila is amazing! She having me a report on echo everyday and sent me pictures of my baby echo having a blast in her care. I’m so happy I gave rover another chance because Caila is the best!”


About: Hi, I’m Camila — a lifelong animal lover and trusted pet care provider in Woodbridge! I grew up with a Rottweiler named Pantera, who gave birth to a litter of puppies right in our home. I helped nurture and care for them until they were ready for adoption, which taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and the joy of caring for dogs at every stage of life. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I treat every dog in my care like family. 🐶 Services I Offer: • Drop-in visits, dog walking, home boarding, and house sitting • Medication administration, basic grooming (like brushing and wiping paws), and enrichment/play • Flexible scheduling and availability for last-minute bookings. 💛 What Makes My Care Special: • Calm, clean, and homey environment with plenty of love and structure • Personalized attention for seniors, puppies, shy dogs, and energetic pups • My husband (aka the dog whisperer!) helps with evening walks and — with your permission — fetch outings at a nearby park • Daily photo and video updates so you stay connected to your pup 🐾 Whether your dog needs a quiet place to relax or a bit of family warmth and attention while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Let’s connect — I’d love to meet you and your dog! 🐾 I have full-time availability to ensure every pet I care for receives the attention they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddle sessions, I am flexible and committed to providing consistent, loving care. A Real Home Away from Home: We’re a warm, loving household, and yes — we have two young children who absolutely adore animals. They’ve been raised to be gentle and respectful with dogs of all sizes and personalities. If your pup enjoys a peaceful home full of affection, they’ll settle in beautifully here. I always want to make sure every pup feels truly comfortable in our home, so I’m happy to discuss your dog’s unique needs and personality during a meet-and-greet to ensure it’s the perfect fit for everyone.

About: My fiancé and I have been taking care of our family pets and pet-sitting for neighbors since we were kids! I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets from fish to rodents to cats to corgis to german shepherds and more! Currently, we are in the process of training a service dog and raising our cat mandy. When I was in high school, I also worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility and learned a lot about pet care there. We are excited to meet and take care of your fur babies! I currently work part time so we are able to take care of your pets whenever they need throughout the day! We have a dog of our own, so they can have a playmate and we have a big yard for them to run around in. At our home, we have a large fenced in yard for pups to play, as well as lots of toys and treats. At your home, we will be sure to follow any and all instructions you provide for taking care of your pet as well as your home!

About: Hello! My name is John Paul (JP) for short. I turned 18 a couple months ago and I’m available for pet sitting! I have been doing pet sitting for about 6 years now and I love it. I’ve had 3 dogs, 2 cats, and over 5 baby parrots I’ve raised on own when I was younger and I like to think I had/have a very good relationship with them. I love all sorts of animals and love getting to spend time and interact with them. We’ll because I’m still in school, I stay at home with my parents but I have 2 cats that I feed, clean litter boxes, and spend time and play with daily. In my clients home I would obviously respect their space and not let the pets in anywhere they cannot go. If they have a fenced backyard and allow it, I would let them out and play with them. If they have a cat I would try my best to just spend time with them and play if they want to!

About: Hello, my name is Jackie, I am 39 years old, I recently moved to the Woodbridge area and I am currently studying pre-med at Nvcc. I am quite passionate about animal rights and animal welfare! I have spent time in the past volunteering at the Alexandria Animal Welfare League, and I have loved being around animals all my life. I have also worked as a long term foster for TRU Rescue in Maryland. My very first job was starting a dog walking business at just 9 years old. Since then I have owned quite a few of my own pets including many dogs. I have experience taking care of puppies and older dogs. I love spending time going on walks outside every day as a part of my meditation practice, and I’d love to include some more fuzzy friends along with me while I walk. I also really enjoy having the dogs with me inside for cool down/chill sessions afterward while I study and listen to healing tones as I work! I have 2 very small chihuahua dogs living with me at the moment, one is 6lbs and one is 7lbs. I am currently taking off work to focus on my studies. I have flexibility to make time for walks and playtime for any animals in my care. I am available for dog walking within the Woodbridge area. Please message me to work out details on possible distance I will travel. Dog boarding is possible after a meet and greet establishes that your dog gets along ok with my two little ones. They do well with dogs that are not too hyper or are not too young. Male dogs must be fixed.
