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.
“We had an excellent experience with Nicole caring for our guinea pigs. Her attention to detail was so appreciated and ensured our boys received excellent care. I would highly recommend her!”

“We are very satisfied with Esther-Elizabeth´s care for our cat, Dalek. We hope she will be available next time we need someone to care for or little friend. That you Esther.”

About: I've taken care of animals since I was a kid. Ever since I can remember there have always been pets and animals in and around my family. My family had dogs and cats growing up, I've also had fish, turtles, and geckos. I have some experience (not certified) in dog training, as I trained my current dog with my brother. I am comfortable with dogs of any size, having grown up around larger breeds. I currently work in the evenings, except for Tuesdays and Saturdays. This leaves me free in the mornings and afternoons to walk and take care of pets. I make sure I have all the information I need about whoever I'm looking after. I ask for the owner's preferences with types of walks, length, play, treats, etc. I report any potential issues with the pets to the owners.
“Thank you for being so patient with our dog and working with her to get a good routine going. Everything was handled with care and professionalism. Accidents were cleaned and the house left in great condition when we returned. Highly recommend!”

“Dani was so amazing and took great care of our cats😸 We recommend her services to anyone looking for someone caring and attentive to detail for their pets. We will definitely reach out to her again the next time we need someone!”


About: I have experience caring for elder dogs with medical issues such as hearing loss, eyesight loss, seizures, and general elder issues. You can rest easy knowing I will take care of your dog as if they were my own! I'm available anytime any day! I can take your dog for a quick walk, a long adventure, or just hang out with them! I cater to the dogs needs, not my own. I will treat your dog as my own, giving them the love and respect they deserve. I also recognize it can be nerve-wracking to let a stranger into your house, I can assure you I will be respectful and follow all rules of your property. Do you have a strict no-shoe policy? No problem! Do you have a strict shoe-on policy? Also not a problem! I'm here for you and your fur-loved one!
“Kristen was a wonderful sitter! Her communication was thoughtful and prompt. Ruby and I highly recommend her and looking forward to seeing her again soon.”
“Sam was so wonderful! Excellent communicator and she sent the best pictures of my kitty! We are so happy we found her and look forward to having her care for our pet again!”

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!
“Erin did a great job dropping in to take care of my cat! She even stopped by to meet my cat before the scheduled visit to make sure it was a good fit. Highly recommend!”


“Hawani was a life saver! I booked her last minute and she was able to go check on my pup. Little did she know what she was going to walk into! My escape artist got out of his cage and unfortunately pooped around my apartment. Hawani was kind enough to send me updates immediately when she got into my place. And was kind enough to clean up after him even though I told her it was okay! She was also very understanding stating she understood (as he is still a pup). Throughout her booking she kept me updated and was very thorough about taking care of him! Sent me photos and videos. She also was helpful to make sure he was fully secure in his crate as he got out before she arrived. Highly recommend! Thank you Hawani!”

“Elizabeth dropped in to check in on our 2 cats. Excellent communication, lots of pictures and updates during the visit. Overall a great experience.”


About: I frequently watch my family’s dogs and cats. I also have a lot of experience from Rover at this point. I love taking pictures of the pets to send to my family members. I have a photo album on my phone with about 150 pictures in it. I work out regularly. A dog pulling will not phaze me. I like to go for long walks if your dog needs lots of exercise. Im attending school asynchronously online so I make my own hours but I need to be able to work 8 hours every day. I can split those 8 hours up to work with your pet’s schedule I’m not able to care for pets in my home right now but I can crate your dog or care for your pet in any way they need in your home.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Fairlington-Shirlington is $20

Olivia is awesome! She took amazing care of our dog Gracie who can be standoffish at first, but was comfortable with Olivia nearly immediately. Olivia is thorough, asking all the right questions to get to know your pup and I would recommend her to anyone. She even has experience with reactive dogs and interpreting dog body language which is a HUGE plus for any dog, reactive or not. We will absolutely be booking with Olivia again and are so happy we found her!

I had the pleasure of re-booking Daisy to watch my cat for another weekend. She was wonderful in providing timely updates and in dealing with some of the mischief my cat got into while we were gone. I am so grateful for her kindness in caring for our new cat and flexibility. Thank you Daisy!
