Pet Sitting Fairlington-Shirlington

About: Dog owner in the DMV with experience walking friends', families' and neighbors' dogs, providing top notch care. Experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I work from home 4 days a week and depending on my meeting schedule am available for mid-day short walks or drop-ins. Always happy to discuss timing that works for everyone. I abide by the instructions set by the client, but place a premium on pet safety. Pets will not be forced into harnesses until they feel comfortable with me, I take care to make sure no pets escape, and that I leave every home as I found it.

“Daniel has been an awesome drop in sitter. Extremely reliable and a great communicator. I am happy to have his services for the duration of my stay in NOVA!”

Lucas S.

“Reliable and communicative. She provided regular updates and was thoughtful about checking in to confirm I’d returned home, in case she needed to extend care. She also let me know when the apartment felt too warm, which helped me manage the temperature remotely. Solid, dependable service.”

“Kristina was amazing with my 8-month-old kitten! My little furball can be a mix of sweet and mischievous, but Kristina handled her like a pro. She took great care of her, kept me updated with pictures and messages, and made sure everything was just right at home. When I got back, my kitten looked happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little disappointed that her new best friend had left! It’s clear Kristina gave her plenty of love and attention. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and great with pets, Kristina’s the one to call. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, & reptiles since I was born! I started pet care a couple years ago and strive to be a great sitter for your animals! I am currently a full time receptionist at a plastic surgeons office in DC. I am available weeknights for drop-ins and walks, and most weekends for overnight stays! I’m all about gaining trust from your pets so they can feel comfortable in their own space and under my care :) I work easily with routines, rules, and specific instructions!

“Orianne was great watching my two cats while I was gone for a week! She was able to do a meet and greet which was great. I got updates and photos from her daily. And they seemed totally normal and happy when I got home!”

Isabel G.

“Erin was fantastic! She was communicative and took great care of our cats while we were away. We have one very high energy cat and one very shy cat and she was great with both - she was even able to pet the shy cat a few times! She went out of her way to make the process easy, met the cats in advance to learn their routine, followed instructions exactly, and sent tons of pictures while we were away. We will definitely reach out to Erin when we need pet sitting and recommend her highly!”

About: I love caring for my dogs! Growing up, we always had a family dog, so I’ve become very attached to fur babies. Currently, I have two adorable dogs that I adopted overseas and brought to the US because they are my forever babies! I would also love to take your fur buddies for a walk, play with them at the park, and care for them the same way I care for mine. I work late shifts, so I’m available to drop by in the mornings and usually in the evenings. I’m more flexible on weekends and can adjust to your needs as necessary. I recently moved into an apartment, so I don’t have a yard for my dogs to run around. Luckily, there’s a nearby dog park, and we go there almost every day as long as the weather permits. I make sure my dogs get the daily exercise they need, even when they don’t get to play at the park. A 30‑minute to one‑hour walk is never an issue for us! Unfortunately, I’m unable to care for your dogs in my home because my babies were traumatized by encounters with other dogs. On multiple occasions, they were approached by unleashed dogs while we were walking, and they’ve been very defensive ever since.

“Rachel is great! I’ve booked with her several times by now, and she’s always incredibly responsive, sending detailed updates and photos with every visit. When I travel, I always feel comfortable knowing my cat will be taken care of when she’s dropping by!”

“Cindy took excellent care of our kitties and was so kind and understanding when I realized I had mixed up the dates requested. She took the time to get to know our cats names and they were in great hands with her!”

“Natalie was amazing! She took great care of my cats and always updated me. She was also super flexible when my travel plans changed! Would definitely book her again!”

Leslie L.

“Patricia is so thoughtful and kind with my fur-babies! From the start I could tell she was really listening and taking in what I was relating about their personalities and needs, and asked great questions as well. She's a regular visitor with my pack, and we're happy to have her!”

Lida L.

“Julian was great! I wanted to visit family last minute this Christmas, leaving behind 3 pets for a few days, my dog and cat, and my girlfriend’s cat. He was very playful with our pets and very cooperative annd respectful even with our lengthy requests, absolutely thankful and will definitely be contacting again!”
