House Sitting in Fort Hunt

“This is the first time we've worked with Ian to house sit for our two dogs. It's obvious from meeting him for the first time that he is a dog person and really gets them. One of our girls is very shy around men but she warmed up to him right away, which is saying something. We came home to two relaxed and happy dogs. You really can't ask for more than that. On top of happy dogs, the house was completely in order, which I appreciate. We will definitely hire Ian again.”

“Lindsey provided the best care for Mizu. She gave me daily updates and whenever I needed a little update. She followed instructions with feeding and administering medications. Mizu was in the best care. Will definitely have her watch him again when I am away.”

“I cannot recommend Leah enough! My dog, Sisa, is reactive, and I’m always nervous about how she’ll handle walks with someone new. [Sitter's Name] navigated her reactivity with total confidence and skill, keeping her safe and calm throughout the week. More importantly, she was incredibly sweet and loving toward Sisa, sending me the best photo updates of her looking happy and relaxed. It provided such immense peace of mind while I was away. Truly a rare find!”

“Elyse did a great job. We were very happy with her services. We had a delay in getting home and she stayed on top of caring for our dogs til we got home.”

“AMAZING sitter! We had Jenny watch our pets for a week while we were out on vacation. I left care instructions and she followed them to the teeth! One of our dogs got sick and Jenny took the steps to make sure both her and the house were taken care of. Would hire her again for sure!”

Alex L.

“Carly did a great job watching our dog, Phoebe - she sent us lots of sweet photos, updates, left our house clean and extended an extra night stay on short notice. We will definitely be hiring Carly again!”

“Another great care of our animals by Lenny - house sitting and dogs/cats care. All the animals really love her, especially the dogs and 1 cat. She sends regular updates and photos twice a day. Great communicator too! Very happy!”

Oksana B.

“McKenna did an excellent job with our high-energy Aussie, who can be a bit anxious sometimes. She was super communicative, punctual, and shared lots of photos and updates. This was the first time we left him overnight with someone other than family, and it was great to know he was in good hands with McKenna. She also left our house as clean, if not cleaner, than it was before. Excited to work with her again soon!”

Olivia S.

“Rebecca was a great cat sitter! She was very communicative and definitely gave our cats lots of love while we were away. We look forward to hiring Rebcca again, and we highly recommend her for any pet-related needs you may have.”

“Erica provided regular updates, did everything we could have asked for and got our dog plenty of quality outdoor time. She also kept our house pristine!”

About: I’ve been working with animals professionally since 2019, starting with dog walking before expanding into dog running, dog sitting, and general pet care. During the pandemic, I joined a “Run My Dog” program where I ran with high-energy dogs to help keep them physically and mentally stimulated when many pets weren’t getting enough activity. Since then, I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs through both short-term and extended pet sitting. I also have years of personal experience from owning four large pit bulls of my own, including senior dogs and dogs with allergies, anxiety, reactivity, and strong personalities. Caring for them taught me how important patience, consistency, and trust are when working with animals. I have reliable transportation, a safe two-story home with a fully fenced backyard, and I’m home most of the day, which allows me to give pets lots of supervision, attention, and companionship. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and try to make every pet feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for while they’re with me. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine because I’m home most of the day right now after graduating nursing school. Besides working short evening shifts on Thursdays and Saturdays, I spend most of my time at home, so I’m able to give pets a lot of attention, supervision, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I actually enjoy having pets around because I love the routine and companionship they bring. Whether that means morning walks, sticking to feeding or medication schedules, spending time outside in the fenced backyard, or just hanging out on the couch with them, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Since I’ve owned large dogs myself for years, caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life and comes very naturally to me. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for someone’s pet. I know pets are family, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I have experience with reactive dogs, escape artists, dogs with allergies, and large breeds, so I’m very attentive to different behaviors and needs. My home has a fully fenced backyard, I’m home most of the day for supervision, and I’m dog CPR certified. I also have quick access to emergency veterinary care nearby, including EmmaVet urgent care just minutes away, and a Regional 24 hour ER 15 minutes away. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and caring environment where both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.

“Cassie was so wonderful to work with! She was excellent with our dog who is extremely wary of strangers- he takes a long time to warm up and she was totally patient and won him over which is no easy task! She sent us photos and updates everyday. I would absolutely recommend her.”

“I booked Michaela for the weekend to housesit and stay with my dog. My dog can be reactive with other dogs, so I’m always nervous to leave her with new people. She did great with Michaela! Additionally, my flight back got canceled, and Michaela stayed overnight again and then my second flight got very delayed and Michaela was very nice to extend her stay and stay with my dog a little longer. Ensure she had gone potty and been fed before I got home since I was getting home very late. Additionally, the house was very organized and clean. I will definitely be booking Michaela again!!”

“Jeannie is wonderful! She provided such great care for my fur babies while I was going through a difficult time and put me at ease while I was nervous of leaving my pups. She provided such great updates with pictures and videos reassuring me they were getting plenty of love and attention. Jeannie also went the extra mile to go to the store and get my dogs pumpkin and rice when they had an upset stomach. I highly recommend Jeannie and will continue to book with her because I am at ease when having to travel without my fur babies. Thank you Jeannie for your excellent care and communication”

“Cameron was amazing with the dogs! And great communication with us. She watched them at are house for 2 nights.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had cats my whole life, have experience pet sitting dogs and cats, and previously worked at an animal shelter caring for animals of all ages and temperaments. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work part-time in the mornings, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time throughout the day to give pets the attention, care, playtime, and companionship they need. I’m an early riser and love spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, playing with energetic pets, or giving shy pets the patience and comfort they need to feel safe. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I have three very playful, social cats of my own, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I also previously worked as a kennel attendant at an animal shelter, where I cared for both cats and dogs by feeding them, administering medication, bathing dogs, and working with pets of many different personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable caring for shy, senior, high-energy, and young pets, and I always follow each owner’s routine and instructions carefully. I’m happy to send updates and photos as often as owners would like so they always feel connected and reassured while away.

“Priscilla was great with our two dogs! She sent lots of pictures and updates, and the pups were happy when we returned. I would book Priscilla again!”
