Cat Sitting in Fairfax

“Michelle was amazing!! She was so dedicated to giving my puppy exactly what he needed - he had a blast spending time with her and I felt so comforted knowing he was with her. She goes above and beyond what I even expected and is completely trustworthy and reliable. She’s my #1 choice on here for sure!”

“Beyond impressed with Hailey’s professionalism. She always arrived when asked and made sure to spend every minute of her visit keeping our boy busy or giving him love. Highly recommend! We came home to a very tired and happy boy”

About: Growing up in rural Vermont, my household was equal parts animals and humans. From an early age, I learned the care and attention that goes into caring for pets from the time they are an energetic puppy to well into their silver years. I’m well equipped to handle potting training, medication feeding, and leash pulling. Fun fact! My first job was as a neighborhood dog walker and my catch phrase was “Lydia B walking” because my last name starts with a B! I'm currently a student and I'm most available during the mornings on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Depending on the distance and public transit accessibility, I could be more available! When it comes to caring for other people’s pets, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Which means making sure they are happy, healthy, and safe even after walk time is over. I understand and fully respect that your pet is part of your home and as such, I will follow every aspect of your (and their) routine. In your home, I will make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure, and I always leave things just the way I found them (or better!). I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, and I’ll keep you in the loop with plenty of updates, pics, and funny moments along the way. You can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands—and probably having a blast.

“Had Benjamin check in on my 1 year old cat Ash while I was away for the holidays. He was great with communication and kept me up to date on when he’d be checking on him. Ash, who is usually a very shy little guy, quickly warmed up to him and even got some play time in. Would definitely recommend Benjamin and will keep him in mind for the future!”

“Jenal was fantastic. Detailed, thoughtful notes on her visit, adorable pictures of the pups and she went above and beyond carrying in our fairly heavy package. Thank you Jenal!”

“Naomi cared for my kitty while I was out of town for a week. I left with confidence that he was in good, caring, and capable hands. Communication and attention to details was excellent. I highly recommend Naomi should you need a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

About: I have grown up taking care of a pack of 8 dogs all very high energy. I also have a Brittany (high energy/Anxiety) back home, who I love dearly! I have dog/cat sat since my freshman year of high school and it’s something I love to do! I am currently a college student, So weekends and Tuesdays are the main days I can do. I am a early riser in the morning both on weekdays and weekends! Making sure to not allow the dog/cat to do anything the owner doesn’t allow. As well as making the animal feel comfortable with me in their environment space. Your animal should return to you happy and exhausted

About: I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was in high school. I adopted my own pup as soon as I had pet friendly housing. I bring my dog hiking and skiing, but I am also happy to hang on the couch with couch potatoes! I have given oral and topical medications and will be happy to learn how to give any medications necessary. I am teacher, so I am available to take dogs out quickly in the morning and feed them, and then do long dog walks in the afternoon when I get home. I do not have a fenced yard, so I do 30 minutes to an hour long walk in the afternoons. I have a 2 year old 40 pound dog who is lowkey and dog friendly who will keep your dog company. If your dog is crate trained, I have a spare bedroom where the crate can be stored.

“Suhkpran has always been great watching my dog. This time she really came through for me on short notice!”

“Kathleen was great! Communicative, reliable and easy to connect with. She took great care of our cat while we were away. Thanks Kathleen!”

“Paige was extremely attentive towards our old cuddle bug of a cat who can’t go 10 minutes without attention! She spent extra time with her every day, always sent picture and video updates, let us know how she was doing, and even cleaned up after a bear encounter completely without being asked— major bonus points! She’ll definitely be our go-to sitter in the future.”

About: I've had cats and dogs my entire life and love both. I have taken care of young puppies and kittens as well as other small animals My weekly routine is fairly flexible now, I make my own schedule.so I can be pretty accommodating at the moment. I also have my own vehicle I can't board at my place presently but I hope to be able to do so in the future. I can pet/house sit anywhere in the greater Burlington area. I have a mini Aussie who can come play if your pets are comfortable with guests :)

“Jaime does a fantastic job for her dog walking services. She is professional, responsive, and experienced. My pup loves her and is always happy and relaxed when I get home from work after a visit with Jaime.”

“Meagan went above and beyond as a pet sitter for our cat, Sprite! We could tell from the photos shared that Sprite quickly warmed up to Meagan and had a wonderful time while we were gone for the week. I would definitely rebook Meagan in the future. She was respectful of our home, grabbed our mail for us, and even tended to our veggie garden! Couldn’t ask for more.”

“Laurie did a great job with our 2 dogs and our cat. She came as expected and stayed and got them fed and outside for some fresh air. We would recommend her to anyone and look forward to having her sit again.”

Hal W.

“Chelsea took excellent care of our two cats when our regular pet sitter was unavailable. I would book with her again and would recommend her to a friend.”

Hannah M.

“Katie was super professional and had a great energy with the dogs. She checked on my old man and let him out to pee, was right on time, and sent updates. Will definitely be booking her again!”

About: Long story short: I have YEARS of experience and a deep love of all animals! I'm great with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities! Happy to walk them all! Must be kid-friendly if sitting happens in my home. Good with cats for in-your-home pet-sitting The Long Version: I've had dogs in my home since I was a kid. I also have experience with cats, as we had cats first when I was younger, and at one point had multiple cats in the home at once, and also had two cats and two dogs at one time. In college I volunteered at a local rescue and walked dogs of all sizes and personalities several days a week. I ended up adopting one of those dogs, and had her from the age of about 4, until her passing a couple years ago at around age 15. She was an absolute love, but she also could be very reactive on walks/ in public. She was extremely particular about which dogs she approved and even when she found one she'd be okay with, she often took quite a careful, long introduction to make it work. We went through behavioral training and made some progress, and I was able to take her on many adventures, even despite her still being a bit reactive. I learned a lot about dog behavior and socialization with her. Over the years we also rehab'd an ACL injury and recovery, and had to make life/ home/ meds modifications as she got older and needed some more senior dog TLC. I am happy to visit/ walk any dogs, behavioral "quirks" and all, as long as I know about their strengths, challenges, and how to support them, in advance. For boarding/ any care within my own home, I am only able to accept dogs that are excellent with young children (I have two dog-loving kids under age 5). I'm a teacher, so my schedule varies based on the time of year! During the school year: I can do weekend walks, or dog sitting, ideally at my home, through the weekend. During the summer months: My schedule is flexible! I'm happy to do quick potty breaks for pups during the day, regular walks, filling in for random days you have to work longer than usual, boarding/ dog sitting (again, ideally at my home since I have two little kids) I've always loved my pets as members of the family! I will give your pet all the love and care that I'd give my own! I am happy to follow any pre-established expectations and appreciate knowing anything that's going to help make my time with your pet as comfortable and fun for them as possible in your absence. I also love capturing adorable pictures of animals lounging, playing, etc. so I will definitely send pics during / after my visit if you want them! We don't currently have any pets in our home. Our dogs were allowed on the couch, bed, anywhere, and I was usually curled right up with them, but I of course plan to follow any rules/ standard expectations that you have established for your pets and/or your home.
