Cat Sitting in Dranesville

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and dog-sat and cared for many different dogs over the years. I will treat your pup like family. They will feel secure and safe and get a lot of attention and affection. I work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule between 8-5. In addition to a great walk, your fur-baby gets cuddles, play time, and loads of love. Your dog will never be left unattended or alone in a yard. In my house, your dog can sleep in the bed if they like (and you OK it). My own dog is a 9 year old trained therapy dog. She is calm, sweet, and gets along with all dogs both big and small, chill or playful. She'll be happy to share her home. I use positive reinforcement only.

“We’re repeat customers of Carey and just love her. My cat is always happy when I come home. She follows all instructions and gives him meds. Sends us a lot of info as always and a lot of pictures!”

“Shauna was fantastic! She really set my mind at ease when taking care of Stella while I was away. She was always very prompt and caring. She even took the time to wash out her food bowls so I appreciated that also. I will definitely be asking her if she can pet sit again in the future!”

“Jenn did a great job caring for our cats while we were away! She always kept us updated on how they were doing. We are looking forward to using her again!”

“Brianna was very attentive to the needs of my pet, and I am quite pleased that I have chosen her. I will be definitely using her service in the future, and highly recommend her.”

About: Growing up with pets, I learned how to care for them at a very young age. Whether it’s feeding, snuggling, walking, or playtime, I love caring for furry friends! I’m a college student home for the summer so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available for morning walks, mid day check-ins, and nighttime snuggles. I always make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable, no matter where they are. I’m great at following instructions and solving problems when they occur.

“Claire was great with our dogs. Punctual, caring, and a great communicator. Will book her again.”

“Paige is so wonderful with our cats and we are lucky to have her take care of them. She's conscientious and sends such adorable pictures of them. I highly recommend her if you need a pet sitter.”

About: Im a pre-veterinary student that grew up with dogs. I currently have an 80lbs energetic giant schnauzer, and a senior mini schnauzer, so I can handle any size, age, or energy needs. I'd love to take care of your animals :) Im currently on school break for the holidays, so my avalibilty is very open! Just shoot me a message and I'll make it work :) How I manage your pet depends on their personality. If theyre a cuddle bug theyll be right there with me all the time, but if they prefer their own space I'll keep them company from the other room

About: I’ve always had dogs, birds, and lizards surrounding me ever since I was young! I love animals more than anything, and dogs are my absolute favorite, although I am a lover of all furry friends. As a 30 year old and throughout my 20s I have had a mastiff mix, and now still with my husky/German Shepard mix, Cocoa. She is 9 years old and has been with me every year of her life! I love to take care of her, and will do the same for your pets! I have pet sat for many of my friend’s cats and adore their funny personalities as well! I am currently a student, and my classes are in the evening for a short time, so I have some free time to be able to pet sit and walk your pets! My classes end in the evenings early on so if someone needs their pet checked on and walked/ water and fed I am able to come later on in the evening! I have an apartment with lots of walking space, but can drive to anyone to dog sit or walk, and keep your pet comfy and happy with lots of walks, play time, and making sure whatever their routine is, kept accordingly! I also am familiar with crate trained doggies, which I have had my dog do in the past when she was younger. I am here for whatever your animal friend needs!

“Melissa’s care for our cat was absolutely superb and a perfect intro to Rover for us. She was highly communicative, responsive, and cared for our cat like her own. She sent photos after the scheduled visits and took care of our home. Highly recommend booking with Melissa - we’ve already re-booked.”

“You know you have a dedicated cat sitter when she literally clims through snow mounds to take care of your cat! Very appreciative and thankful.”

About: I have experience training, socializing and exercising large breed dogs and currently own a large German Shepherd. While you're out of the house, I will ensure your pet is safe, loved and in good hands! I am patient, observant and consistent. Behavioral issues? I know how to navigate it! Detailed regimes? I have the time! Specific routines to get your pet to bed or to eat? I get it! While everyone says they love dogs, I mean it more than they do, I'll treat your pet like they're my own. I accommodate all pups and personalities! I currently work in DC (with telework options) and am fully available after 4:30pm Monday - Friday with plenty of flexibility on the weekends. Let me know if/when you are going out of town and I can accommodate your schedule! I have a dog friendly home with a 6ft tall, fully fenced in backyard and a dog-friendly companion (Oakley). I also have toys, training treats, pet sleeping options and crate options (if needed).

“Our pet Buddy takes time to meet new people. But when Buddy met Carl for the first time, he sniffed Carl and instantly connected with him and enjoyed Carl’s company. The next time we are in need of a pet sitter, we will definitely call Carl again.”

“Erin was amazing for dropping in to check on our cat, Kylo! She was thorough, kind, and communicative. We will be using her in the future whenever she is available! 11/10 !”

“Dobby recently had surgery and needed medication during the day. Since I had to work, I scheduled a drop-in visit with Maeghan. Dobby can be pretty timid and nervous, but Maeghan was so gentle and patient with him. He gradually opened up and was even able to go outside for a little bit. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him. I really appreciate it! 🐾”

Lauren M.

“This was my first time using Rover. I chose Skyler based on his reviews. Everything went great. He communicated, showed up on time and sent me some pictures. I was so nervous to leave my puppy but things went really well. I will definitely be using Skyler again”
