Dog Sitting Fairfax Station

About: I have pet sit for family and friends since I was 16. I can do drop in visits or stay at the home with them. I also worked at a dog boarding facility and have experience with many dogs at all ages. I’m currently only babysitting during the week so I have plenty of time for your pet. I can also drop in during the day to let them out and hang out with them. I will gladly stay with your dog and ensure they have plenty of play time and outside time. I know it’s important for them to get their energy out so I will make sure to spend a good amount of time playing with them.

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for pets, I have a genuine passion for animals and providing them with the love, attention, and care they deserve. I have extensive experience with both dogs and cats. I’m happy to care for pets of all ages and personalities to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, keep you updated with photos and messages, and follow their routines as closely as possible. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I am available anytime and have an open schedule so I can work with the needs of my clients. I can do walks any time of day. I live in a safe private neighborhood in a single family home. I have two friendly cats at home that are great with other animals.

About: I want to be able to provide a safe, healthy, and caring environment where your pets can get the love and attention they deserve just like mine. I've always love dogs. Right now I have a female corgi which is adorable and love her so much. I'd be delighted to come to your home to walk your dog, take him/her to Vet or to a grooming appointment. Please let me know any medical conditions your pup may have. Any special needs. What the rules are at your house, also I require your pups to be vaccinated and treated with fleas and tick medication.

“So grateful for Elizabeth! On a short notice she was flexible with our situation and ended up being exactly what we were looking for. As a new time pup mom I was very worried about leaving my 8 week old Berner at home but Elizabeth communicated with me the entire time and soothed my nerves by being so patient and caring with my little guy. I am so impressed with how familiar and comfortable she is with puppy care + dog care in general. We are so excited to work with her more! Your pets would be in excellent care with her!”

About: My family has a nine-year-old Goldendoodle named Rocky, and caring for him has been a wonderful part of my life. When I lived with my parents, I helped take care of Rocky by taking him outside for potty breaks every morning and before bedtime. After work, I enjoyed taking him on walks around our neighborhood, giving him exercise and time to explore. I also loved spending time with him in my parents’ backyard, where he could relax and enjoy the outdoors while I worked on yard projects. Through these experiences, I learned the importance of being patient, responsible, and attentive to a dog’s daily needs. Now that I have moved out of my parents’ home, I would love to share that same care and attention with other dogs while their owners are traveling. As a dog sitter, I can provide regular potty breaks, enjoyable walks, outdoor playtime, and plenty of companionship. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I would do my best to make each dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring and responsible hands! I’m currently working full-time. I plan to sit your dog on weekends when I can pay attention to their needs and when most people might be travelling. I will take your dog on regular potty breaks. Let them enjoy the backyard in my townhouse. I will also walk them and take photos to share with the owners while they are away.

About: We’ve always had a love for animals and have experience caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. We currently have a dog and a cat of our own, so we understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. We’re comfortable providing walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, and plenty of attention and companionship. We’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated with photos and messages during each visit. Our goal is to make your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. We’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect we’d want for our own. We have flexible weekday and weekend availability. One of us is typically available on weekdays before 1:30 PM, while the other is available after 3 PM. Most weekends are open as well, and we’ll keep our Rover calendar updated so you can easily see our availability. We take your pets’ safety seriously and will follow their normal routines and your care instructions closely. We’re comfortable caring for pets in their own homes and will always be mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and other potential safety concerns.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a young child and enjoy playing and walking dogs and ensuring they receive all the love and attention. I’m currently going to school and have time to walk and play with your pet to ensure they receive the best care possible. I am around everyday and on weekends unless I’m traveling. I will take your pet to the dog park or a long walk or daily runs depending on their type of exercise needs. I currently do not have a pet.

“Megan was wonderful! I’m a helicopter Mama and she made me feel as ease. Megan sent me pics and updates to reassure they were ok. I will definitely book Megan again! :)”

About: We are a husband-and-wife duo who love animals. We both work from home so your furbabies will be well looked after. We've volunteered with pet rescues (most recently) from 2020-2022, finding over 25 puppies, kittens, dogs and cats their furever home. We have both had dogs from puppies to when they crossed the Rainbow Bridge and are familiar with the delicate nature of aging in our beloved pets. I've had experience administering insulin to a cat while cat sitting. Your animals will be treated like our extended family. We let our own mammals out once every two hours. We also feed our animals twice a day about 12 hours apart. We make sure they are well exercised and rested. There is a large fenced in area for horses that we converted to our own private dog park. We will follow the rules of your home should you need a stop in. If your mammals stay with us, we will treat them as our own, and per your instructions.

“Thank you Adelle for the last min help!”

About: Hi! I’m Sarah, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets. As a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats, I know every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether they’re energetic, shy, young, or senior, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to keep your pet’s routine consistent. I also have experience with cats and understand that each one has unique needs. I have reliable transportation, so getting to your home on time is never a problem. I currently offer dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. During every visit, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and provide dependable, loving care you can trust. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I currently work part-time as a medical assistant and am a full-time pre-med post-baccalaureate student at George Mason University. While my schedule varies, it offers plenty of flexibility between classes and work. With a little advance notice, I’m happy to accommodate dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting for both dogs and cats. I look forward to meeting you and giving your pets the attentive, loving care they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I will take the time to follow your instructions carefully; from feeding schedules and medications to favorite walking routes and playtime preferences. I strive to create a calm, positive environment where your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. During visits or house sitting, I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on your pet, and provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind. My goal is to treat your home with respect and care for your pets as if they were my own.

About: I have had dogs and cats growing up that I have loved so much. When I started missing my family dog while studying at Mason, I would foster every now and then from Wolf Trap Animal Rescue. I currently work full time M-F. I am available for drop in visits & walks anytime after 5 pm during the week. I can also board overnight starting 5:30pm on Fridays until Sundays. Saturdays & Sundays I am free for walks and drop in visits as needed. If you are comfortable, I can provide in home boarding but dogs need to be crated while I’m away during normal work hours. The townhouse I live in has a fenced in back patio. There is a park nearby that I usually go to for walks. If your sweet pet is staying over, I can mimic their current schedule and any rules set in place. (Ex: at my house, pets are allowed on furniture. But if yours is not, I will continue that). My care is dependent on what you and your pet needs.

“Nazeeya is a super kind, thoughtful dog sitter who made sure to ask all the important questions to be able to care for Baby in the best way. She has a true love for animals and sent very cute updates of Baby so I could see how he was doing while I was away. I would recommend Nazeeya to anyone who needs a loving, experienced animal care taker!”

About: Pets have been a part of my family my entire life - dogs, cats, hamsters, fish… and some at the same time. I understand that your pet is a member of your family and they will be treated as such with me. I also know that pet care is not just playtime, they require care, constant attention, to follow what you have set for them in terms of schedule and routine, reinforced love… and of course playtime and cuddles! Your pet will be safe with me and I hope to be an extension of your family’s pet care team. I am available 24/7, including weekends and holidays. I work full time from home so your pet will have my constant attention and time to ensure safety, care, and FUN! I do not currently have any pets in the home. Another driving reason for wishing you’ll share your furbaby with me - I definitely miss the companionship, company, and fun a pet brings to the home and my day.

About: I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m dependable and attentive to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I’m also comfortable providing extra attention to pets who may need a little more patience, including puppies, seniors, or pets who are shy or adjusting to a new environment. I’m available for pet care before 9 AM and after 6 PM on weekdays. I have full availability on weekends, so I can provide plenty of time for quality care! I provide pet care exclusively in the client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest while giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’m respectful of the client’s home and make sure everything is kept clean and secure while they’re away.

About: Having raised my three dogs since they were 6–8 weeks old, I treat them like family and work hard to give them their best lives. From homemade meals and dedicated schedules for attention and exercise, to soft carpets and peaceful background music (classical, jazz, and lofi), our home is entirely tailored to their comfort. I know every one of their quirks, and our nonverbal bond is so strong that a single look says everything. They are deeply sensitive, wonderful companions. This summer, I devoted much of my time to caring for my senior dog during his battle with heart cancer. Losing him has left an emptiness in my heart, and I am still finding my footing as I adjust to life without him. As I slowly return to my routine, one of my goals is to create a memorial that honors the beautiful life and bond we shared. Because I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, secure, and loved, I generally prefer drop-in visits where your dog can remain in the comfort of their own home and familiar environment. When my schedule allows, I can also welcome one dog at a time into my home for a few hours of day care. I am home throughout much of the day and available to provide attentive, compassionate care, provided it aligns with the needs and schedule of my two resident dogs, who remain my priority from dawn to dusk. I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I strive to treat every dog as family by providing a calm, peaceful, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. I care for pets by including them in everyday life. I talk to them throughout the day, tell them about my plans, ask them questions, and engage with them as if we’re having a conversation. While they may not answer with words, I’ve found that dogs communicate so much through their expressions, body language, and presence. Whether I’m cooking in the kitchen, working in the yard, running errands nearby, or taking my laptop outside so they can enjoy fresh air and companionship, I’m always mindful of their needs. I regularly ask myself: Did they eat enough? Have they had enough outdoor time? Do they need more play, attention, or rest? My goal is to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and included throughout the day. When caring for a dog in their own home, I approach it the same way I do with my own dogs. If I had only a few hours between commitments, I would make sure they had fresh water, a potty break, exercise, a meal if needed, and some quality companionship before I left. Knowing their basic needs are met and that they are safe, content, and cared for is always my priority. When dogs visit my home, they enjoy a secure fenced yard, plenty of attention, and a calm, peaceful environment. If your dog is crate-trained, I can easily accommodate that, or I can provide a private room where they can relax comfortably between outdoor breaks and meals. To ensure the comfort and well-being of all dogs involved, I keep guest dogs separate from my two resident dogs. This allows everyone to enjoy a predictable, low-stress environment and receive individualized attention. We also enjoy neighborhood walks, which are typically around 15 minutes long, depending on the weather and your dog’s needs.
