Cat Sitting Fairfax

About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years — dogs and cats belonging to friends and family who trust me completely, and that trust means everything to me. What makes my care different is that it's never one-size-fits-all. If your dog lives for walks, we walk. If they're all about the ball, we play. If they just want to curl up next to someone, I'm right there. Every pet gets care shaped around who they are, not a standard routine. My home is child-free and pet-free, so your baby isn't competing for attention — they are the focus of my entire day. And when you pick them up? They'll be freshly bathed, happy, and ready to go home. Baths are always on me. PLEASE NOTE: I can board up to 4 pets from the same family at one time, as the pets all know each other. I do not take multiple pets from different families to board at the same time. It's often stressful for the animals and I don't get to enjoy your pet if he is stressed out by strange animals. My home is child-free and animal-free, which means your pet gets a calm, quiet environment with zero stress from other animals and no chaotic energy. They are the sole focus of my day. For dogs: I follow your routine to the letter — feeding times, walk schedule, medications, treats, favorite spots. I ease new guests in gently because I know the first few hours matter most. If your dog loves walks, we walk. If they're a ball dog, we play. They get care shaped around who they are, not a generic routine. Every dog goes home with a complimentary bath so they're clean, happy, and ready to see you. For cats: I understand cats aren't small dogs — they need something completely different. I give them a safe, quiet space to settle in at their own pace, no forcing interaction. I read their cues — whether they want lap time, window watching, or just a calm human nearby. Litter box hygiene is spotless and non-negotiable. I'm very careful about doors, windows, and escape points so your indoor cat stays safely indoors. For all pets: I monitor eating and behavior closely and flag anything off straight away. You'll get regular photo and video updates — as many or as few as you'd like. I've been caring for pets for over 10 years for people who trust me like family, and I take that trust seriously. My goal is simple: your baby comes home calm, happy, and exactly themselves. I do have a fenced yard but do not allow dogs to go out alone unsupervised. I enjoy walking dogs and will keep the routine that you have with your dog. I only take cats and dogs at the same time from the same family. I will always confirm any animal is up to date with vaccines and flea treatments first.

“Valeria was great! She watched our two dogs when we were out of town. Stopped in in the morning & night, gave food/water, played outside and gave our older dog his meds. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve had a dog since a child, but about 5 years ago I began volunteering taking care of puppies at a local rescue in Nashville. From there, I adopted my first dog Carmelo, who I had for two years before epilepsy unfortunately shortened his life. After I healed, I began fostering dogs of all ages, mostly older just due to the need being higher. I found I have such a strong love for dogs that most don’t even reach. I wanted to be able to love old dogs who needed homes in their last days so I adopted Peppa who stayed with me until cancer won the fight. I still occasionally foster but since losing my full-time job, I have had to move to this side of things. I have pretty open availability right now. I am open for overnights. If I am able to go do some delivery for a few hours in between, that is so helpful. I follow directions to a T whether inside or out of the clients home. Providing the dog comfort, safety and familiarity is my top priority. I am not trying to raise or train your dogs. I just want to let them know that when you’re gone, they are always in good hands.

“Linque is the best cat sitter ever!! The pictures that she sent to me all through the week were wonderful and she kept me up to date with daily reports on how they were doing. My cats obviously loved her as they would curl up with her every day and purr! She also kept the litter clean which is a big deal with 2 cats ?. I highly recommend Linque and I will definitely call her again when I need cat sitting services!!”

About: I’ve had many dogs of my own, mostly pit mixes, but I’ve bonded with a wide range of dog breeds from chihuahuas to cane corsos. I’m in school completing clinical rotations . I have Saturday- Monday availability perfect for time to visit parks and go on walks. I’m open to negotiating drop ins and walks Tuesday- Friday after 6pm I am very safe and respectful, and will care for your pet and home with high regard. I enjoy entertaining high energy pets as I’m very active. I also love to snuggle with the cuddle bugs so we will have a lot of fun regardless of your pets personality type.

About: I’ve cared for animals since childhood and previously worked as a dog groomer. I’m now teaching my daughter how to responsibly care for pets, and she absolutely loves animals. Together, we’d be happy to treat your pet with the same love, attention, and care as our own. I work from home and homeschool my daughter so we will have plenty of time to care for your pet full time. Long walks along the beltline or local park is part of our daily routine. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions. Pets get plenty of attention, supervision, and playtime throughout the day so they feel engaged and cared for, not stressed or alone. I make sure they always have fresh water, a comfortable resting space, and a low-stress atmosphere. I also limit exposure to any hazards and keep a close eye on behavior and wellbeing. My goal is for every pet to feel like they’re staying in a second home, not just being watched.

“Leylah is the best! She took such good care of my dog while I was out of town and was quick to communicate with questions and updates. I could tell my dog was happy from all of the pictures she sent, and when I got home it was like I had never left. If you’re looking for a great dog sitter, Leylah is it!”

“We’ve been using Angela for drop-in visits and she’s been great! She’s reliable and communicates well with updates and photos.”

“Petra did an awesome job with our pups. As this was our first experience together, she came by a couple of times before our scheduled day so that she was totally familiar with Daisy and Chico's routine. She showed great empathy toward Daisy, who experiences great anxiety during rain events. She put the TV on for her in hopes some of the noice would be a bit of distraction. All in all the pups were well cared for, received all medications and seemed generally happy when we returned”

Kate W.

“Amber was amazing! She was attentive, kind, and gave our pups so much love. She cleaned up the house and brought in all our packages without even being asked. We will definitely be booking with her again for any future trips. Thanks Amber!!!”

“Eve exceeded my expectations. She definitely understands cats. My girl loves people so Eve took the time to give her the snuggles and lap time she needs to be happy. Eve was very communicative and respectful of our home. I highly recommend Eve.”

“Jessica did a great job juggling my two cats who needed medications. She took her time to work with them and earn their trust, and had them showing her their bellies before the end of my trip. Even when my grumpy old man cat gave her trouble, she didn’t judge him or give up - he came around and started coming for treats. She was very respectful of my pets, which is above all else; but she was also super respectful of me and my home. Great communication and understanding. Would definitely consider her for future trips!”
