Pet Sitting Donaldson Run

About: I have been pet sitting and walking for 11 years. My neighbors and friends have trusted me to care for, walk, and feed their pets! I am a graduate student at Virginia Tech's Arlington campus. This summer I will be working remotely with plenty of time to care for your pet! Unfortunately I cannot care for your pets in my own home because our landlord does not allow pets however I am happy to care for them in your home!

“We had a great experience using Taylor after our usual pet sitter was not available for an international trip. We were anxious since we were so far away, but Taylor was a great communicator and came well prepared at our Meet and Greet. She was so loving and spent quality time with our sweet, social cat while doing the usual (litter, feeding). Would book again!”

“Sweet, dependable and best of all loves dogs!”

Skip S.

“Sarah was wonderful with the cats. They got along with her really well and she was very thorough in giving us updates and photos. I will definitely be asking her to cat sit again in the future!”

Athena Z.

“Brittany was amazing with my nearly three month old puppy, Ruby! She kept Ruby busy with a walk and playing with all of Ruby’s toys, and by the end of the visit, Ruby was all tired out (which was the goal)! I can’t thank Brittany enough and will certainly be using her again!”

About: I have taken classes in dog behaviors and how they act when they might need a particular action done. I have a NAPPS certification, which is National Association of Professional Pet Sitters that is earned for all small animals, both including dogs and cats. I have had my own very young puppy, so I know how to handle and train them in a gentle manner that they will respond to. I have tons of experience in senior dogs and cats, so I am patient to more slow animals or paying attention to them more and making sure they have what they need. I have an extremely open schedule and can stay over for longer periods of time than most people. I am free almost every single day for hours on end, so finding when I can come over is no trouble. I’m easy to schedule if I need to house sit, and am extremely responsible and willing to stay overnight when needed. I love taking care of animals in their own homes, knowing they’ll feel the most comfortable surrounded by their familiar surroundings. The only thing I care about is that your furry companions are safe and cared for in a way that they don’t feel out of place or missing the love they got before you left them in my care.

“Hannah was so sweet to my cat! Very communicative and kind :)”

Robin N.

“Spencer and Julia kept me posted throughout the weekend, provided several pictures, and spent a lot of quality time with my cat. Really appreciate their help and communication, and would recommend them to others.”

Aandal S.

“I had a great experience meeting with Fernanda during our meet and greet. She's friendly, professional, and took the time to get to know both me and my cat (even though she was hiding!). I appreciated how thoughtful she was in asking questions about my cat's routine, preferences, and care needs. It was clear she genuinely cares about animals and wants to provide the best possible care. The meet and greet left me feeling confident and comfortable about leaving my cat in her care. I would absolutely recommend Fernanda to other pet parents looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!”

Safia D.

“Michael is a star sitter. Amazing communication, attention to detail, and always great at sending pictures. I always know I’m leaving my pets in great hands”

Mia D.

“Aimee - was very easy to communicate with, responsive and professional. I felt my kitties were well taken care of while I was gone. Really appreciated Aimee’s flexibility on when to come over. All in all great experience!”

Olga K.

“Drew was great with my “quirky” dogs while I was out of town. She took great care of them. She was on time, provided photos, kept me informed, etc. I would definitely use Drew again in the future.”

Patti K.

“Catherine went above and beyond for our drop-in visits! I was so happy to leave George in good hands, with great walks and playdates with her dog Winston! Thank you so much for everything you do!!”

Isabelle B.

“Kaitlyn was amazing with my two cats! She came over to feed and play with them while I was out of town and I can tell they loved her. She clearly gave them lots of love and attention while I was gone - they barely registered that I was back. ? She sent great updates and pictures and was great with communication both before and during the visits. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book her again!”

Sarah W.

“Very nice and professional. Amber went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were comfortable with her. Our hyper pitbull puppy wasn't to much for her. Both dogs took a liking to Amber immediately. Both were fighting for her attention. My wife and I definitely will use Amber again.”

Santerrio J.

“We needed someone on short notice and Alexandria responded immediately. She was friendly, easy to communicate with, and made the process stress-free. She was great with our 8-month-old rescue, Poppy, who’s still adjusting and can be reactive on leash. Alexandria was patient and understanding, handling Poppy thoughtfully. We loved the photos and report card after each visit and would definitely book Alexandria again—Poppy would be happy to see her too!”

Emily P.

“From our first meeting, I knew I was going to like Lily. She is so sweet and took excellent care of my cats! I felt totally relaxed leaving my kitties in her care and look forward to booking with her again.”

About: I own a dog of 10 years, so I have plenty of experience taking care of a happy and healthy pet. I deeply understand what keeps a dog in great spirits. I feel an emphasis on play and experiences with a pet can elevate the relationship between owner and pet. I'm very flexible, all I need is a day's notice. I can work just about any hour of the day. If anything were to change suddenly, my client would be the first to know. My dog lives in my home and has a nice fenced yard to run around in. He goes on daily walks and gets plenty of exercise and play. He is also fed twice a day. I would bring the same energy for my client's dogs.

About: I grow up surrounded by cats and dogs. Since I can remember I always helped my parents to take care of ours animals, feeding them, cleaning, giving them a bath, long walks and a lot of love. I currently work as a nanny during the day, but I have availability for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting before and after work, as well as on weekends. I’m reliable, flexible, and always make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment where your pet will be safe, comfortable, and treated like family. I will follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I provide a calm, loving environment and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
