Pet Sitting Arlington-East Falls

About: I have been around animals my whole life, horses, dogs, cats, and even fish. Additionally I have been responsible for taking care of dogs since high school and love being around them. I have experience with both puppies and older dogs. Including administering medication. I will treat your dog as if they were my own and provide you as many updates as you like through our your trip. If you have any questions please reach out to me. I have a wonderful older lab that gets along great other dogs (and cats) both young and old. He loves making new friends!

“Juan is AMAZING!! He went above and beyond with communication and over all care! My pup has special meds and Juan had no problem with it when feeding breakfast and dinner(: Juan went out of his way to go to a pet store to grab a sweater for my pup because it was cold out during their walks 🥹 It was so comforting to know Brody was with someone who goes the extra mile!! 10000% recommend!!!”

About: My childhood dog was obsessed with my dad, so I didn't *truly* embrace my love of dogs until I moved in with an anxious, expressive Weimaraner 15 years ago. Beyond walking and sitting my sweet "furnephew," I have cared for a sassy Chihuahua, a paranoid bowling ball (aka Pitbull), a ball-obsessed Jack Russell mix, and a shy English Springer. Most significantly, I co-owned a stubborn, aloof Shiba Inu for more than four years, starting at 9 weeks. He taught me a special appreciation for reactive, highly-vigilant, and misunderstood dogs. I was accustomed to writing detailed instructions to make sure my sensitive boy felt comfortable and safe with any walker or sitter. I work mostly from home, and I'm looking to fit in sitting and walking engagements into my downtime to get my dog fix. I will also be available some evenings and weekends. For reliable recurring care, I work with my partner, Mike, a fellow 5-star Rover sitter. With your prior approval, he may occasionally cover a scheduled walk when needed. We coordinate closely and follow the same care routine, communication standards, and safety practices. I live in a dog-free building, but I am ready to take care of your pet in your home to fit your needs. I'm comfortable crating dogs as you deem necessary, letting the dog roam in a fenced-in yard, playing with a variety of toys in your home, or taking your dogs on walks with my full attention.

“Jennifer was an excellent cat sitter for Melvin. She sent several pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Melvin seemed super comfortable and well cared for the entire time, and it was clear she was great with him. Communication was smooth, she was reliable, and I had no complaints at all. I would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

About: I am very reliable, open, and patient. I have grown up with dogs of all sizes, cats, and even a lizard! I am an active individual who enjoys time outside. I am a teacher looking for additional income that fits with my work schedule. I am open to chat about what you and your family need! I care for pets in clients homes. I treat all pets like my own, treating them with patience and kindness. I always intend to build trust between myself and the animals I interact with. I have experience with senior dogs as well.

“Taylor was great. We have one very social cat and one that hides from guests. The shy cat even came out to see her! It’s great to know they were so well taken care of. Taylor came at the requested visit times; and in addition to feeding and litter duty, she provided a lot of play time as well.”

“Elizabeth was everything I could possibly want in a cat sitter! She took great care of my little guy and gave him all of the love he could have wanted. Will definitely be booking again!”

“Mitzi was really great! Communicated consistently and her care for my cat while I was away gave me real peace of mind. And my cat was definitely much happier when I came back home.”

Ramiro M.

“Mya just took care of our two cats with a week of drop-in visits and we couldn’t be happier! She is a pleasure to work with and both of our cats were very comfortable with her and well taken care of. Mya cleaned up after them beautifully (not an easy job) and her notes and fantastic pictures were highlights for us each day. So, so happy we found Mya and now look forward to having her care for our cats again soon!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for the past five years. Through petsitting for friends, multiple overnight housesitting stints, and work at a dog daycare, I’ve gained experience with lots of different animals including small and large dog breeds of varying energy levels, cats, fish, rabbits, and chickens. I’m meticulous about feeding instructions and medication administration, making sure each pet gets exactly what they need. I’ve become best friends with a few dogs who love people but struggle with other dogs, so I’m very good at shortening the leash and making space when needed. You’ll never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing because I’m proactive and regular with updates. Ultimately, my goal is to make your pet feel safe and happy and to give you peace of mind while you have to be away. I work part time and remotely, so my schedule is flexible! I have church and family responsibilities that command my attention during the week, but I still have plenty of time, especially on the weekends! Most of my past experience petsitting has been with overnight stays. I’ve always left the environment better than I found it, and because my work is remote, I will be able to give your pet the care and attention they need and deserve.

“Isabelle and her family did a great job watching my cat for four days. I came back to a clean apartment/litter box and a very happy, healthy kitty. And the video updates everyday were fabulous!”

“Erin was very sweet and attentive when it came to taking care of my dog Cheerio. She made sure to know his routine and regularly updated me during drop-ins. Her communication was consistent and made me feel confident that he was being well taken care of.”

About: Hello! I'm Valentina! I have experience caring for pets of different ages and needs, including my 10 year old cat and my sister’s 4 year old dog. Most recently, I cared for a Giant Schnauzer puppy right through his crazy growth spurt, from the day he came home at 3 months old all the way until he was 7 months old! Working with a high energy, big pup takes a lot of patience, consistency, and structure, so I kept him on a solid daily routine with twice a day walks to burn off that puppy energy and practice good leash manners. I’m also a very active person and genuinely enjoy being outdoors, walking, and staying on the move, so I love being able to bring that energy and enthusiasm into caring for pets. I have a flexible schedule and I’m generally available for walks and drop-in visits in the morning from 7:30 to 9:30 AM and in the afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30 PM. I’m happy to be flexible and work around your pet’s routine whenever possible. A little advance notice is always appreciated so I can plan my day and make sure I can give your pup the time, care, and attention they deserve. I love caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and stick to their familiar routine. I find that pets tend to feel more relaxed and at ease in their own space, especially when their owners are away. I’m happy to follow their normal routine, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, or any special instructions, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away.

“Sjocelin is fantastic! Very good with my nervous dog and responsive to my messages. I highly recommend!”

“Maria was amazing checking in on our dog while we were gone all day! I asked her to come for four 30-minute trips and she came at all of the requested times and took our dog on four good walks - and he can be a stubborn walker! She was very responsive and provided good updates. We just rescued our dog a couple of weeks ago, and this was our first time leaving him for such a long period, but I was completely at ease. I will definitely be hiring Maria again! And I know our dog will be glad to see her!”

“Yiting has been so great as a cat sitter. She shares lots of updates about how the cats are doing and whether they're eating. We get tons of photos of our cats and videos, which is super reassuring.”

Nancy W.

“Elizabeth is extremely communicative and professional. She gives lots of updates and always make sure to let me know of their day. I feel very comfortable leaving and knowing my dog is well cared for.”

Grace M.

“Goes above and beyond by also helping feed our fish and taking in the bins. Really appreciate all the care she gives our three cats and descriptions.”

Natalie M.

“Emily was so sweet with our senior cat while we were away for 5 days. He was well taken care of, and in a great mood when we came back. Thank you!”
