Im open to almost any schedule .Just shoot me a text. Caring for pets in my client's home involves a personalized approach tailored to each pet’s specific needs and the services I am providing. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where the pet feels secure and loved.

I also follow grooming routines and administer medications as instructed, keeping a close eye on their health and behavior.

About: With the exception of a few years during college, I have always had animals in my life! I grew up always having a cat and a dog in the house and taking progressively more responsibility for their care as I got older. Now, I'm owned by two dogs (a boxer mix and a lab mix) and two cats, one of which followed my boxer and I home one day and decided to stay. They are by far the best part of my day. With all these fur babies, I've run the gauntlet of pet care challenges, from pilling cats, to dealing with allergies, to working on behaviors like marking and excessive barking. I don't claim to have it all figured out, but what I do know is that it's made me incredibly patient and compassionate with any animals in my care. Plus I've learned a trick or two along the way! I currently work for myself (from home) as a research consultant. While I do have periodic meetings throughout the week, I usually have a significant amount of flexibility in my schedule during the mornings and afternoons. I often find myself going out on multiple long walks throughout the day and generally finding any excuse I can to be outside. So why not use that time to hang out with some new animal friends? My flexible schedule means that I can accommodate most any pet needs. I go for multiple walks every day both on my own and with my own dogs, so it's easy to incorporate lots of activity in your pet's day. I also have an enclosed front porch that we all love sitting outside in the shade on, just enjoying the fresh air. And on hot days, I even have a kiddie pool that one of my dogs likes to play in to cool off. Both my dogs are very friendly and would love to make new friends! One of my cats even enjoys horsing around with the dogs. My dogs have free reign in the house, but usually hang out with me. I'm happy to have your dog(s) make themself at home as well or to crate them if that's your preference.

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs on a farm, apartment, townhouse, etc. I have experience with many different personalities, energy levels, and breed needs I currently have two dogs of my own, a great pyrenees and a golden retriever. I’ve also worked at a veterinary clinic as a vet tech, gaining additional experiences with animal care, health needs, and proper handling. I beleive no dog should be judged by their breed or put under a general label. I focus on their body language and individual personalities, while still addressing breed needs. I currently am working 32-40 hours a week that gives me a certain level of flexibility to match your schedule. I receive my schedule every Saturday, two weeks posted at a time. I will give full transparency if there are any schedule conflicts. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, they’re your family! My goal is to always make sure both you and your pet few safe, supported, and at ease while you’re away. I do my best to follow your pet’s routing exactly the way you do at home, adjusting to whatever care instructions you prefer. I am also more than happy to provide updates as often as you’d life, whether that’s daily or hourly check-ins, photos, or videos so you can see how your pet is doing. I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior, health, and surroundings, making sure they’re safe and comfortable both inside the home and in outdoor spaces. I keep information on local vets and emergency clinics on my phone. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own!

About: I have 20+ years of pet experience with dogs, cats, horses, goats, pigs, chickens, and more. I am available for dog boarding in my home for multiple dogs. I am comfortable giving medications. I can make multiple visits to your home while you are gone. Let me know what your needs are and we can find a suitable accommodation for your pet. They will be loved like our own. I am a stay at home mom who homeschools my children. Most of our days are wide open and I can easily accommodate taking care of other pets. I will look after your pets like I do my own. I will make sure they always have the proper food and water and are never left unattended. I can meet a variety of needs for many different pets.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and genuinely love spending time with them. During college, I frequently cared for dogs while their owners were away, providing walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention to make sure they felt comfortable and happy. With a flexible summer schedule, I’m available most days and times, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Whether you need a last-minute walk or planned pet care, I’d be happy to help. I treat every pet as if they were my own, following your care instructions closely and making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and committed to providing the best care possible.

About: Hello! My name is Kelsey and I am a Special Education teacher for Prince William County Schools. I have an 17 year old Puggle named Charlee.

About: I am an avid animal lover with around seven years of personal and professional pet care experience, with two sweet pups of my own at home. Professionally I have experience with house sitting, feeding, bathing, grooming, and walking (and playing of course ). I have had experience with special needs animals such as dietary restrictions and monitoring. One of my own dogs has allergies, sensitive skin and anxiety issues and takes a lot of patience and exercise, so I have experience working with animals that need a bit more work and attention. I have no issues watching, feeding or walking large dogs, dogs with behavioral issues or dogs with disabilities or special needs. I have previously worked with a large range of breeds, sizes and ages of animals and feel I can provide a lot of love and attention to your pets. I work in healthcare Monday-Friday normal business hours but outside of that I am available to care for any pets in need of care including weekends. I have a fenced in yard and crates for my two dogs upstairs, I would usually prefer to watch pets at the owners home though.
