About: I started doing walking and overnights when I was 7 with the help of my parents and my love for dogs has only grew since then! I now have been in the Veterinary medicine field for 5 years with many years of farm work before then. I’m very good with all types and temperaments of dogs due to my gentle and loving attitude towards animals. I am available 7 days a week 24 hours a day. I am looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend!!! I am currently home full time so I have the availability to do walks, drop ins and sitting at any time. This schedule also allows me extra time to specialize the care and needs of your pet. With my years experience in veterinary medicine I am able to tailor environmental needs to each pet I have the joy of working with. Just let me know their quirks, care needs or special requests and I can make it happen!
About: 🐾 Professional Dog Dad. Part-Time Treat Dealer. Full-Time Dog Lover. 🐾 Proud dog dad to Luna, my Husky, and Pablo, my Goldendoodle—which means my daily life already includes zoomies, dramatic sighs, endless sniff breaks, surprise tug-of-war matches, and pretending I don’t notice when someone is begging for a second treat. 😂 I love dogs of every size, breed, and personality. Got a high-energy pup who wants to conquer the neighborhood? I’m ready. A professional sniffer who needs to investigate every mailbox and blade of grass? We’ve got time. A certified couch potato who just wants some company and belly rubs? Say no more. 🐶 I know how much trust it takes to put your fur baby in someone else’s care, so I’ll treat your pup with the same love, patience, and attention I give Luna and Pablo. My promise: happy pups, tired paws, plenty of pictures, and at least one conversation where I talk to your dog like they understand every word. ❤️🐾 I currently work from home/remotely,so it allows me to be mobile. And schedule playtime and walking throughout the day. I made be gone up to an hour for client visits. I do not board in my own home.I care for pets by working in an area that I can keep an eye on them and can give them belly rubs on some breaks. I usually take standard lunch breaks and am able to walk/play and address any needs for your pet.
About: I cared for my beloved dog for 10 years, treating him like my first baby. Now, I'm eager to share that love and care with your furry friend, giving them the attention and affection they deserve. I work remotely, so I'm home most of the day and get to spend lots of time with the pets I care for. That means plenty of potty breaks, playtime, walks, and snuggles throughout the day. I love making pets feel comfortable and keeping their routine as normal as possible. My goal is for them to feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. 💛 I promise to keep your pet safe and cherished by following your instructions carefully and creating a cozy, secure environment. I’ll send you regular updates, so you can rest easy knowing your furry friend is in caring and attentive hands. 💖
“Xiaoyi was absolutely amazing with my dog Bella. At first, I was skeptical about this service as I am very picky about who I like to work with Bella. That being said I would absolutely book Xiaoyi without any hesitation or reservation. If you like someone who is very attentive communicative and very caring, please look no further. While I was away on my trip, she kept me informed with pictures and text messages on my dogs experience. I look forward to working with her in the future! 10 out of 10 experience!!!”
“Ana is incredible I’ve had her over at least 6 times No less than three days traveling.... Doing dropping visits for my dog, Sasha. She is an absolute breeze to work with and super patient!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for pets. As a proud dog owner of two, I understand that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care. I'll treat your furry family member like one of my own, providing a safe, loving, and dependable experience while you're away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. As a dog owner of two, my days revolve around feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and making sure they get plenty of love and attention. Caring for my dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet's unique needs. Providing a safe, happy, and loving environment is something I enjoy every day, and I'll give your pet the same level of care and attention. I care for my pets by taking them on nice long walks and providing them love and affection that they deserve. My place unfortunately does not have a fence, but my dogs love to roam free and play with the ball out back; If we are not outback we are in the field across from my house throwing the ball and having a good time!
About: I’ve had dogs as pets my whole life! I grew up volunteering at animal shelters so I have plenty of hands on experience. I’ve been freelance pet sitting for about 5 years now. I have cat sit for 5 different families in the past. I never had a cat so I feel this helped me gain some cat experience. I’ve dog sat for senior dogs requiring special medication and have had senior dogs myself. I’m a huge animal lover and am so excited to meet your pups/ kitties! I’m perfect to call for mid day dog walking or a drop in visit when you’re at work! I’m currently unemployed and am looking forward to pet sitting/ dog walking full time! I am a very structured person so I will follow any and all directions that you leave for me. I will do as much as I can to make your pet feel at ease while you are on your family vacation, work trip, etc. I’ve been an animal lover all my life so I promise to give your pets the same love & affection that I do give to my own fur babies! I know everyone says that, but I truly enjoy being around animals!
About: What sets me apart is that I’m a super loving and compassionate person. Animals have a special place in my heart. I stop and try to pet dogs every time I can. Pets are not just pets! They are family! I currently work remote and I have a flexible schedule. I have the time and space to help take care of your fur babies with love and compassion. I have a townhouse and have a space available for your fur babies. My basement is spacious for them to hang out and play or just sleep.
“Kassidy did a great job popping in to check on my senior dog. She gave him his medication, gave him fresh water, switched out his food, and provided pictures during her check ins. Kassidy was nice and did a great job communicating. I would definitely use her again.”
About: I graduated college with my Bachelors in Animal Studies with a Minor in Psychology. Through my college experience I have gotten to work with cats, dogs, reptiles, farm animals, and pocket pets! I have over 8+ years of experiences with pet care inside/outside of college as well. I have watched/had pets ranging from cats, dogs, reptiles, small pets, and pocket pets! What sets me apart from other pet sitters is I take the time and dedication to help you and your pet out! I always send daily updates of your pets and take the time to make sure your pet is happy while you are away. I treat others pets as my own and make sure they have the upmost health while they are in my care. I also have experience with administering medications topically, orally, and injections. I currently work at a dog boarding facility so I am very familiar with canine needs! I grew up with various breeds of dogs AND cats so animals are nothing new to me :) I work full-time at a Dog Boarding Facility! I keep my schedule on Rover up to date that way both clients and I can be connected on the same page! I'm available for walks in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings (depending on schedule). I am also able to dog pet boarding at my home or yours, which ever you are comfortable with! Even though I do not have a fenced in backyard, I leash walk all dogs to make sure they are safe and get plenty of exercise. My cat is also up to date on all their vaccines and are extremely friendly and will keep your pets company! If need be I can also crate your pet if you perfer! I make it a priority to have the safest area for your pets and have trust with the owners that your pets are in great care while you are gone or need help!
“Stacey was great! Easy to communicate with and followed instructions. She was super helpful especially since my request was last-minute. She arrived at the time she specified. She’s got a great personality and was patient with caring for my dog.”
About: I am an animal lover! I treat animals as if they are humans with love, support and freedom. I’m there if they need a friend or if there feeling lonely. Rather if it needs attention or a late night potty run I’m there for the rescue! I’m very attentive and supportive. I have 5 years of experience with dogs and over 6 years with cats I’m always up for more fur animal friends. I am very noble and trustworthy, and will always treat your animal the way I would want to be treated. Look no further I’m here to save the day! I’m very responsible and integrity is very much so apart of my character. I will update you on everything that goes on as communication is very important.
About: I have taken care of not only my own pets for almost my entire life, but also I have helped friends and family with their fur-babie(s)! I even taught my dog her lefts and rights. She’s a smart little pup. 🐶 As of today, (8/11/25), I have a pretty open schedule and I will adjust my schedule on here, promptly, if my schedule changes! Feel free to ask any questions, I’m also willing to do some same day pet care, if needed! I plan to make sure during my time with any pet that they are taken care of in a safe, proper, and caring manner, whilst also following any specific instructions of my clients needs for their fur-babie(s) & their homes.
“Nicole is a reliable sitter who really loves my pets - I can tell from the photos and videos that they are really at ease with her. She takes and maintains detailed notes about what my boys like and remembers them on subsequent bookings. Small things like keeping the door open for them to look out during the day, filling a human glass with water etc which makes a huge difference. Even my fluffy boy with anxiety looks forward to her visits. I'm at ease even when I'm far away that they're in good hands and well taken care of. Thank you Nicole for all that you do and for going above and beyond each time. My babies and I appreciate you :)”
“Shelby was fantastic. She took very good care of Parker and communication was excellent! Definitely would recommend her and will definitely be using her again to watch Parker when needed. Thank you Shelby!”
“Alexis was a great caregiver for my sweet, old cat. On the first day, when Kippy did not appear to get her food and meds, Alexis searched and found her hiding place, thus ensuring Kippy got what she needed that morning. Alexis’s kind and gentle demeanor soon made Kippy lose her fear and she began greeting Alexis at the door. I would definitely hope Alexis was available the next time I need Killy care.”
About: Hi! My name is Angie, and I’m a nurse and lifelong animal lover who truly enjoys caring for pets. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I have dog-sat for friends and family pets for many years, and I also volunteered for Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation in Northern Virginia for 3 years, where I helped by walking shelter dogs and supporting their daily care. That experience helped me become comfortable with dogs of many different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I provide dependable dog walking and boarding in a calm, clean, and loving environment. I’m very attentive to routines and details, and I’m comfortable with pets who may need extra patience, structure, or special instructions. Your pet will receive plenty of affection, playtime, and supervision while in my care. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications if needed, and provide regular updates with photos so you can feel at ease. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and my goal is always to make them feel comfortable, happy, and secure. For new clients, I highly recommend a quick meet & greet before the first booking to ensure it’s a great fit for everyone. I’m happy to answer questions and learn all about your pet’s routine and personality. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member soon! As a part-time RN, pet care can fit really well into my routine because I can structure it around my shifts. I can take on boarding and multiple walks/drop-ins on my days off. I'll have more flexibility for frequent potty breaks, feeding schedules, long walks, and playtime When caring for pets, I focus on providing a safe, calm, and structured environment. I'll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible and make sure they receive regular potty breaks, exercise, feeding on schedule, fresh water, and plenty of attention and affection In my home, pets are treated like family and are supervised closely to ensure they are comfortable and secure. I have plenty of warm and cozy blankets and toys for your fur baby and make sure to provide daily walks, playtime, and a clean space for rest. I follow any specific instructions regarding crate routines, medications, or special dietary needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and privacy while making sure their pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I take time to build trust, provide enrichment, and ensure they are fed, walked, and cared for properly. I also love sending photo updates and messages to owners, so they feel reassured and informed throughout the visit.
