“Charly was professional followed directions and went above and beyond what we asked him to do during his 30 minute check-in I would definitely use him again”

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you’re away. I’m active and enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping higher-energy dogs engaged, but I’m just as comfortable providing a calm environment for older or lower-energy dogs. I’m also comfortable reinforcing basic commands, routines, and good behavior with younger dogs. My goal is to follow the routine you’ve established and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me. I currently work week days from about 830 to 330 and off weekends. I often work from home if needed. I am very flexible with coordinating care. I have a fenced yard that is great for your pets to play. My house is very open and spacious and very pet friendly. I am very flexible depending on your pets needs.

“Aliyah took such great care of Pebbles! She had great communication, was punctual, and even called me every day so I could talk to Pebbles on the phone. It was my first time being away from my fur baby since I adopted her so I was a bit worried about how she would react. Aliyah took such great care of her for me which relieved my anxiety and Pebbles’ anxiety too! I am so grateful.”

“Y’all, Kristal is the BEST. I messed up my dates and ended up out of town without a sitter. She showed up within 4 hours and saved me. She sent loads of pictures to ease my mind and was kind and playful with my kitty. It’s worth everything to know your pet is safe and happy and Kristal made that happen”

“First time booking a cat-sitter. Amanda was professional, punctual, and easy to communicate with. She provided multiple pictures from the visit and details. Cats were happy to be played with and well fed. Very happy that we booked with Amanda! Would recommend!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, including caring for my own cat and helping care for a friend’s senior age Chihuahua. I have also volunteered at a animal shelter in Blacksburg, VA. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, litter box care, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m patient and attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I understand that some pets need lots of attention while others need a little more space. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule gives me flexibility to provide consistent pet care throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting depending on the timing and needs of each pet. I’m happy to work with owners on a schedule that keeps their pets comfortable and maintains their normal routine while they’re away I take pet safety seriously and will follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, routines, and any house rules. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and comfort and won’t force interaction if they need space. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away

“Samantha was on time and feed my two cats dinner - I appreciate her! She took photos during their feeding time. Samantha followed my instructions 👍🏼”

About: I have a 12 year old yorkie/havenese named daisy. She has been in our care since she was 1 y/o so i'm aware of dog care in all stages from puppy to senior dogs. Growing up my family/friends have always chosen me to be responsible and care for their animals so i thought why not spread the love? Ramon has also been in care of plenty of his family dogs growing up as well! There was always no less than 4 dogs in the house at a time. We love dogs so much and there will be an abundance of love to go around with my family. We can't wait to play with our new furry friends. My boyfriend and i have plenty of time through out the week together to care for your beloved pets! I have a full time job so i help where i can but my boyfriend is currently in school and has plenty of time in between classes to care for your furry friends! In our house, my partner ramon and i try to create a warm, inviting, and loving atmosphere. With my senior yorkie mix along with my 2 young cats we have everything your furry friend may want or need: toy galore, bottomless treats, long walks, and all the affection in the world. From long boarding/ house sitting to as small as a walk we aim to provide care to your furry loved ones just as they were one of ours! <3

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked in professional pet care, taken courses in animal first aid/CPR and positive-reinforcement/Karen Pryor clicker training, worked alongside livestock veterinarians, and even had experience around Security/IED K9s. I especially enjoy learning how each dog communicates. Some dogs want to cover some ground, some want to stop and sniff everything, and some need a little patience and encouragement before they’re comfortable. I adjust the walk to the dog in front of me. My love for dogs started young. When I was 8, my neighbor passed away and left me Sawbuck, his Shepherd/Lab mix. He showed me how strong the bond between a person and a dog can be, and I’ve been learning everything I can about them ever since. I love getting dogs out of the house and moving. Whether your dog needs a good exercise walk, a slower sniff-filled adventure, or simply a dependable midday potty break, I’ll tailor our time together to what works best for them. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities, including high-energy dogs, seniors and dogs that need a little extra patience. My goal is to provide a positive, safe and enjoyable experience for both you and your pet. I’m a Marine, so following detailed instructions comes naturally to me. Give me as much information about your dog as you’d like — I genuinely enjoy learning their routines, personalities and quirks. After every service, I’ll provide an update on how things went along with photos and anything I noticed during our time together. My goal is to provide a positive, loving and safe experience for your pet and you. I’m a Marine so following orders/directions exactly as you give them is in my blood. I love information so feel free to write/leave as much as makes you comfortable. I will send after service reports where I provide feedback/requested information and brief of the care service.

“Sherry was a wonderful sitter for my two kitties! She was very kind and interactive with my cats- a true animal lover! I am a crazy, over-the-top cat mama and felt so comfortable leaving my spoiled, very playful girls in her care. She followed their care instructions perfectly and went above and beyond in staying longer to play with them and sending tons of great pictures! They both looked so comfortable, happy, and playful and I am so grateful! I will reach out to Sherry anytime I need a sitter. Thank you so much!”

About: I’m very patient with all pets that are and aren’t mine. I treat all animals that are in my care with love and respect. Also, I make sure me and the animal are safe at all times. I have set schedule for my pets to make sure they eat, use the bathroom and play. When I go to work i have access to watch my pet through our living camera to make sure they are safe and happy. I have a set schedule with my fur babies. I make sure they eat and go potty at a certain time but also they have play time to run and burn energy in my big back yard

About: Holiday availabilty!! I can walk your pet around Thanksgiving and Christmastime! Check with me for availability. I am very reliable, timely, and can provide the friendliest of service. I am available most of the time. I assisted my partner when she was taking care of pets several years ago and enjoyed the work and of course, the animals! I am "between" jobs right now and have lots of time during the holidays (and after) to assist with pets. I can walk dogs, feed and clean up after pets, and keep them engaged. Dogs especially always seem to love me and recognize me as a friendly face. I was a loving cat owner for 15 years. In addition, I have sat for several dogs in our home for friends - including walking, picking up after them, and playing with them and keeping them happy and engaged. I make sure they are well-fed and have lots of water. For cats, I usually play with them, feed them, and clean up litterboxes. Pets have always appreciated how much I love them as well as their pet parents.

“Jeisen took such good care of Tina! He took plenty of pictures and cared for Tina like she was his own. I would definitely use him as a sitter again.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up surrounded by dogs, I always knew I’d have one of my own someday. In 2023, I adopted my sweet girl, Okie, and she’s been my best friend ever since! I raised and trained Okie myself, and she’s grown into such a loyal, loving, and well-behaved companion. Having her has only deepened my love for dogs and taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding their individual personalities. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their little quirks! Whether your pup is full of energy and loves a good adventure or prefers a slower, more relaxed stroll, I’m happy to adjust to their needs. I’m attentive, patient, dependable, and will always prioritize your dog’s happiness and safety. As a dog mom myself, I know how much our pets mean to us, and you can trust that I’ll treat yours with the same love and care I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! As a dog mom myself, caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday life! I’m used to planning my days around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and making sure my pup gets plenty of attention. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so incorporating extra walks and quality time with furry friends into my routine is something I genuinely look forward to! My schedule is pretty flexible Monday-Friday, so I can accommodate with your time. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to know your furry best friend is in good hands! I always prioritize safety, comfort, and making sure each dog feels loved and cared for. I understand that every dog has their own personality, boundaries, and routines, so I take the time to get to know what makes them comfortable. I’ll always respect your care instructions, stay attentive to their behavior, and happily send photos and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

About: I have 2 of my own cats that i take care of bt cleaning their litter box, adding in new litter, feeding them, and making sure they are safe at all times. One of my cats is 4 and I have taken care of her since she was 4 months old, my other cat is 8 and I have taken care of him since he was 7 months old. I have never worked for anyone pets other than my own but every time I come home from school, I make sure to check their litter box, their bowls incase they need to be cleaned, and I check them to make sure they are safe and okay. I can clean any food bowls or water bowls when they are dirty, I can change the litter and take out the trash at any time, and I will always make sure to play with them if they want to! If you ever need to me to run to the store and buy cat food, litter, or just anything I am able to as well!

About: I've had a lot of experience with pets as most of my friends and family have pets. I’ve had a few of my own with my immediate family. I mostly have experience with dogs, though a majority of latest jobs have been with cats. I recently cared for Bruno (Siberian cat) and Bryce (Australian Shepard). My close friends have 3 dogs of different sizes: Dido (small-sized), Lucy (medium-sized), and Linus (large-sized). One of them requires medication, so I have a bit of experience with medication administration. I like to have a schedule and any preferences for any pet. I enjoy taking dogs out at least twice a day for fun and multiple times for bathroom trips (depending on how often you prefer). I care for your pet as they are my own and would love the chance to care for your furry family member! I mainly take extra jobs on weekends but am open to mornings and nights. I work around my schedule by tailoring the sit to meet both of our needs. I always get a detailed list of things pets need, care routine, and feeding/walking schedule. It’s important to keep their normal routine, so their comfortable and relaxed about the change in care (and a new human!)

About: I own one small dog and have taken care of two - four dogs for more than 10 years total. Happy to help if you have senior pets or a cat that needs some socialization. I was recently laid off so I am available until my clearance gets approved. I am also local to Arlington via walking or car so I’m flexible. Having had bad sitters in the past, I am for safety and transparency. Pictures will also be provided upon request. My number one goal is making sure families are at ease as if the pets were my own.
