“Kim was responsive, friendly and great at giving updates on our pups! She spent time with them and communicated very well. We appreciated her flexibility and willingness to love on our pups!”
About: Hey, use my code for $20 off! https://www.rover.com/sit/mahdoa39338 About me? I'm a WFH freelancer, and can choose my own hours. This leaves me wide open to help you and your pets on a call/text! Why me? I have loved, house-trained, and cared for nearly 25 cats and dogs over 45lbs. Several of my pets in my household needed end of life care or special medical treatment, too, which means I had extra love to give and ease their comfort. I have petsit for friends, family, and my extended network for the past 10yrs, and supported many of them through their special and unique needs and care. So, here I am, making it an official hobby. Because I am a part-time WFH freelancer, I have the flexibility to be more available and attentive for you and your pets! I'm always available, and LOVE giving PAWgress reports - pupdates and daily* mews! Reports are always more than just "daily" - pet content is a vital necessity ❤️ In any care with any pet, I listen to their expressions and behaviors for both their and my security. In your home, I will follow your pet's natural safe spaces to make sure that both of us have time and space to know each other better, which doesn't disrupt their normal routine, and keeps us both comfortable and safe. It is important for me to always listen to your pet's and your needs and concerns, more than just for safety, but also fun! This means I will need information on your pet and your rules, expectations, and specific treatment and care.
“We are very happy we used Emily to sit for our cat Lola. Lola is a shy cat, and can have some food-motivated aggression at times, but Emily handled this so well! She sent great pictures and updates every visit that made us feel that Lola was in great hands while we were away. She also left our house in tip-top shape. We would love to book with her again”
“Katherine was fantastic…..jumped in on short notice and did a great job taking care of my boys!! Even was kind enough to bring my Amazon packages in from the rain! Will definitely use her again!!”
“As always, Tresa did a great job taking care of our kitties! We really appreciate her detailed updates and how she makes sure to call out any special instructions we give for food or medicine.”
“Gabrielle was great. She was very easy to communicate with, was punctual and gave timely updates. With our dog being older, it was very comforting to know that he was receiving great care at home.”
“Pia did such a wonderful and thorough job checking in on our two kitties. It’s the first vacation without their canine sibling (and they probably enjoyed the quieter atmosphere). All the pics were appreciated. We highly recommend Pia.”
“Jing is our new pet sitter, and we've been very pleased with her. While we appreciated our previous pet sitter, every time we had to leave for personal reasons, it left us heartbroken because Leo, my fur baby, has a hard time adjusting to new people. However, Jing made an instant connection with him. She was very gentle and patient, allowing him to feel confident and comfortable. She truly is a very good pet sitter I would highly recommend.”
“Cynthia was great. Really conscientious and experienced. She took care of my two cats while I was away for Thanksgiving. Sent pictures and reports for each visit. When I came back the cats food area and litter were clean and organized. I highly recommend her.”
“Gabe is wonderful! Over the recent 7 months, Gabe has been reliable for our scheduled visits. She has been patient and gentle (but firm) with our golden retriever puppies (large and energetic). The puppies are excited when she arrives. Gabe sends photos each visit and messages to let me know about anything.”
About: I have two rescues at home who I adore. I would love to spend my summer break caring for your beloved pups! I have a calm demeanor and I am open to all breed types. I am looking for a flexible schedule this summer while I work towards getting my driver's license. I am not taking any summer classes, so my availability is very open. In a client's home, I would give all my attention to your dog(s) and follow all given instructions for care. I am happy to walk, play with, feed, and give belly rubs to your good girl or boy. I am respectful of others' property and privacy.
“Misa took care of our two cats and she was wonderful! She responded to my message quickly and we set up a meet and greet the same day. We will definitely ask Misa to take care of our cats and dogs the next time we are out of town!”
About: I’ve had our dog for 11 years and know how stressful finding a good and reliable sitter can be. I will treat your fur baby like our own while you’re away and send updates if you’d like! Hi there! I'm Holly, a stay at home mom and part-time student with a big heart for animals. With a flexible schedule and a cozy, pet-friendly home, I'm here to give your furry family members the love and attention they deserve while you're away. As someone who’s always surrounded by animals (and kids!), I understand the importance of patience, playtime, and consistent care. Whether it’s going for walks, providing cuddles, or sticking to their usual routine, I treat every pet like part of the family. I’d love to meet your pet and make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're gone! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly mini goldendoodle. I have to be a little picky on pets we allow in our house because we have 2 small kids so I cannot accept any aggressive breeds
“Willa is the best! She listened intently to our needs for our cats and did her absolute best taking care of them. I felt very secure leaving them in her care. She was flexible and didn’t mind helping with random tasks that popped up while we were gone. She has excellent communication skills and a true love for animals.”
“Aly was great! She took amazing care of Lari while we were away for vacation all week. She kept us up to date each day and sent us lots of photos! We will definitely be using Aly again in the future!”
About: I've owned dogs most of my life!. From newborns to seniors with different needs. I love their unique, resilient, playful and grateful personalities. Through the years I've helped mommas during labor, cared for newborn puppies (2 with cleft palate), cared for my sweet girl during her last weeks with cancer, I've cared for a wonderful blind dog over the years (I still do! He is a Poodle❤️), I've rescued a stray dog without knowing she was pregnant and took care of her and then made sure her puppies went to good homes. Having their company is like chocolate to my soul! Then unfortunately my son developed a dog allergy when he was little :( so we couldn't have a dog but lately he is been getting better allowing him to be around "hypoallergenic" dogs. This why we would love to care for your hypoallergenic doggies. I am a stay at home mom who enjoys the company of dogs specially when my kid and teen are in school. I'm ready to spoil them and go for walks or running with them. Our townhouse has a high fenced patio. The neighborhood has a dog park if that's what they like. Our area is quiet and safe to walk around. Starbucks is close by in case they are allowed a puppuccino ;)
“Rachel was amazing! She took the time to meet us and Nox before the drop-in visits. She was very attentive to our pup, taking time to play with him. We would love to use Rachel in the futurek”
About: Hi, I’m Abby! I’m a 22 year old recent college graduate living in Fairfax with flexible availability before starting my full time job.
