House Sitting in Fairfax

“Kathryn took excellent care of our dogs and home. She was the most communicative sitter I’ve ever had through Rover. We received many photos, and updates on the dogs’ activity. She went to extra efforts to clean up accidents, as well. I would highly recommend Kathryn!”

He walked him and I returned to a peaceful happy house with no issues.. I can't express how much I appreciate that..Id hire him again for sure. Thankyou from Hammy and our family Ari..”

About: Since high school I have pet sat for family and friends and I'm also a lifelong pet owner of both cats and dogs! My dog growing up was a Samoyed, giving me lots of experience in handling strong energetic dogs and I've had many cats throughout my life. Some, like my current cat Albus, were very cuddly, while others were very shy and reserved. This lifelong experience has allowed me to learn how to handle all sorts of different needs and personalities of every animal I meet and know the challenges and joys of pets at any age. Currently I have one pet named Albus, he's a very grumpy looking Norwegian Forest who loves to cuddle, take naps in the sun, and people watch through the windows of our house. He is also very mischievous and likes to mess with people by laying right where he knows you'll walk so he gets extra pets with no effort! All of this gives me the experience needed to ensure your pets get lots of playtime, daily walks, plenty of treats, as many pets as your fur-baby desires, and making sure they get any pills they need on time! I also know how stressful traveling away from your pet can be, so I will be sending plenty of pictures and will respond to any texts as quickly as possible to ensure you won't have to stress during your vacation! My shedule is very flexible, occasionally I will be out of town on contract but in the time I am home I will be able to cater to your pets schedule. I'll keep a close eye on your pet while I'm there and my main goal is to make sure their usual schedule is kept! so the more details of pet care you can give me the better. I'll make sure they get walks, meals, medicine etc. at the correct times to ensure the health and happiness of your pet. I am also happy to do household tasks like watering plants or taking out the trash. I will also always ensure all doors are locked, and there's a light on when I leave (unless requested otherwise) to make sure your pet is as safe as possible while I'm away.

“Martha was great! She was a good communicator and we really appreciated all the updates, pictures, and videos she sent. We look forward to her helping us again!”

“Carmelo did a wonderful job staying in my house with Bentley and Benji while we were away for a six days. He sent photos daily, communicated often and my house looked perfect when I arrived home. The pups were happy and healthy. Thanks Carmelo, I will definitely call you again.”

“Lise is amazing! She took such great care of our dog, two cats, and our house. She communicated with us everyday about our pets and sent the sweetest photos and texts. We returned to a perfectly clean house, and a very happy dog and cats. When I first met Lise I sensed she was special but now after having had her as a pet/house sitter I am confident she is one of the best out there. She understands and connects with the animals and has great intuition.She will be my first call next time I need a pet sitter. I highly recommend her!!”

“Jody is an exceptional dog sitter who provided outstanding care for our 7-year-old Border Collie during a 10-day house sitting stay. She was incredibly attentive, sending regular updates that kept us reassured and connected while away. Jody’s passion for animals was evident in her attentive care, keeping our dog happy, active, and at ease throughout her stay. She left our home spotless and well maintained, exceeding all expectations. We couldn’t have asked for a more reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter—Thank you Jody!”

“Mari stayed with our dog and cat and she was amazing. She was super thorough and very communicative. She sent us updates and photos a couple of times a day which makes leaving them a bit easier. We would definitely rebook and recommend Mari!”

About: Hello! I have been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old. I love going on walks with them and especially spending all my time with them. I also have experience with caring for dogs that require a little more help than others such as giving them medicine. I am currently trying to save some money for graduate school and what better way to save up than hanging out with the coolest dogs ever. My top priority is keeping your dog safe from any type of harm and when I am with your dog, I am present and focused.

“Emory was such a pleasure to work with. She came to meet our pup ahead of her care days which I really appreciated. Our pup was beautifully cared for and our home was in perfect condition when I returned. She was also a good communicator, sending pics and updates. I would highly recommend Emory to care for your pet.”

“Amber stayed at our home watching our dog for almost 2 weeks while we were on vacation. She took such great care of our dog, Sadie! She left our house in great shape, even washing all the sheets & towels on her last day! The kitchen was spotless, plants were happy & mail collected but most importantly, Sadie was calm and happy when we returned. I know Sadie loves Amber and we look forward to booking with her in the future!!”

“I have had several people from rover stay with Steele. Andrew is the best. He won Steele over with the treats he brought for the meet and greet. During the stay he walked Steele as many as three times a day, took him to the beach, and sent lots of adorable photos. He’s professional, friendly and really cares about my pup. He will be my go to dog sitter.”
