Pet Sitting Fairfax

“Michele is sweet and attentive to detail. I felt super comfortable leaving my kitties in her care. The pictures she sent showed that they were relaxed and happy with her around. I'd love to have her back!”

“Avery was consistent and went above and beyond what I expected when I booked her services. I was thinking she would show up, feed me cats, and leave. Instead she spent a little time with them and gave them attention. It was definitely appreciated. I would absolutely book with her again.”

Stephen J.

“Paige is super responsive and wonderfully caring! Great communication and so helpful guiding us through using the Rover service (this was our first experience). The kitties didn't seem to notice we were gone. Highly recommend!”

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.

“Benjamin was amazing with my cat Pigeon. He's extremely thoughtful, kind, and went above and beyond to make sure my boy was comfortable while I was out of town for the holidays. He communicated every day, sent lots of pictures, and gave my cat the quality human time he very much needs. Pigeon loved hanging with him, and should I need to leave again, I know who to call!”

“Thank you again so much for the wonderful care, communication and flexibility!! Great pix of Moose too - that puppy face doesn’t lie, and he is a happy boy in the yard with you! Many thanks”

About: I am a dog lover and have owned dogs for 15 years. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I can help with puppy training and can administer any medications if necessary. I would love the opportunity to walk your dogs or house sit while you are on vacation. I have open availability. I would really enjoy the opportunity to get to know you and your fur babies. I'm open for all types of visits. My puppy is on a harness and leash. She is always contained or in my home. I have a yard but unfenced. I live down the street from a dog park.

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

Christina F.

“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!”

“Alexandra took great care of our homestead the week we were gone. She watched our two working maremma sheepdogs, 14 goats, 20 chickens, and two indoor housecats. She took exceptional care of everyone and sent us regular updates and pictures while visiting. Highly recommend!”

Katie S.

“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.”

“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.”

Kristine E.

“Hailey did a great job with our two cats. Loved seeing the photos and having the little updates every day, and both cats were healthy and happy when we returned. Would definitely recommend!!”

About: I have had a dog for 40 years, in addition to other pets. I love all animals (more than most people 😊) and I love spending time with them. In addition to owning pets, I have also volunteered for dog rescues. I have cared for friends’ animals as if they were my own. Currently, I am not working for the summer and have a very flexible schedule. I can carve out chunks of time to spend with animals to give them attention, food, and exercise. I will continue caring for animals in the same way that owners do in their household, following all rules, routines, and expectations. I am an active person and happy to take a dog for a walk or a run.

About: I bring a diverse background to pet care, including hands on grooming experience, years of working at a daycare and boarding facility with dogs of all sizes & ages, volunteer work, and food nutrition from my years in pet retail. I also hold pet CPR and first aid certification and have a deep familiarity with special needs, like grand mal seizures. Your pet will be in safe, experienced hands with me! I’m fully dedicated to pet sitting, with flexible availability, ensuring personalized care, dependable service, prompt communication, and a deep love for every animal I care for. In each client’s home, I strive to keep their schedule as consistent as possible, following their usual routine for feeding, walks, and play. I keep a close eye on their comfort and safety, so they feel right at home.

“Chelsea is absolutely wonderful! She is very attentive and genuinely loves your pet like her own! I will absolutely be rebooking Chelsea again when the time comes!”

Megan C.

“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 and puppy friendly if sitting happens in my home. I am also great with cats for in-your-home pet-sitting or drop in visits! 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 and puppies. I have two dog-loving kids under age 5, and we have a super sweet lab puppy, so she is currently small, but growing fast! 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 if you have to work longer than usual, boarding/ dog sitting (again, ideally at my home since I have two little kids and my own puppy). I've always loved my pets as members of the family and 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 allow our puppy on furniture, but I will of course follow any rules/ standard expectations that you have established for your pets and/or your home.

“Bryce dropped by to check on and feed my cat while I was on vacation for 10 days. Was super quick to communicate with any questions. Would definitely book him again!”

“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.”
