About: Hi! I’m a work-from-home mom of three amazing boys, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm, so being around animals wasn’t just a hobby — it was a way of life. I’ve owned pets my entire life and have also fostered many dogs over the years, so my boys have grown up learning how to properly handle, respect, and love animals. We recently lost our sweet dog last year and are taking a little break from owning one, but our home feels happiest with paws around. Dog sitting allows us to share that love while giving your pup the attention and care they deserve. Because I work from home full time, your dog will rarely be alone and will get plenty of supervision, affection, and companionship throughout the day. We have a large single-family home with lots of space to relax. There’s a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, as well as a spacious front yard — but please know your dog will never be outside unsupervised. In our home, dogs are family. They’re welcome on the couch and even in the bed for snuggles at night if that’s what they’re used to. My boys love giving extra attention, playtime, and belly rubs — always guided by what your dog is comfortable with. Our family truly adores and respects animals, and we will care for your dog as if they were our own — with patience, structure, affection, and lots of love. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home full time. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and regular potty breaks as often as needed. Your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches. We go on at least one walk every day, and I’m happy to adjust the length or pace depending on your dog’s age and energy level. In addition to walks, I incorporate outdoor time, playtime, and plenty of affection into the day. Because I’m already on a steady home schedule, it’s easy for me to maintain feeding times, medication schedules, and any specific routines your dog is used to. When pets stay in my home, they become part of our daily routine and are treated like family. Because I work from home full time, I’m able to provide constant supervision, regular potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Dogs have access to our large fenced backyard (always supervised) and enjoy at least one daily walk, along with playtime and snuggles. They’re welcome on the couch and even in bed if that’s what they’re used to. I stick closely to each dog’s normal feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is always the same: to provide safe, loving, reliable care so both you and your pet feel completely at ease.

“Maki is so kind, she agreed to watch Gin on late notice. Gin definitely had fun and Maki’s! Maki was great at communicating and sending pics of Gin throughout the day! Definitely recommend!”

About: I have a deep passion for animals and a keen eye for understanding their non-verbal cues. By focusing on the small details and reading their body language, I ensure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and stress-free. Im a stay at home mom. I take my aon to school at 7:20, i would be available directly after that until 1:30 or 2 depending on where you live. Then Im available from 3-7. Every morning I feel my dogs and then walk them around our property. Then, I feed the kitty who is usually meowing loudly at me. Then, I scoop her box. She likes it if I scoop her box several times a day. The dogs are fed twice a day, and walked several times. My Dad or I will walk our younger dog Molly around the neighborhood or on the Appalachian trail. Dinner for the dogs is at 7pm and "last pee" is before bedtime (usually 10).

“Dale and Karen are truly the best sitters we’ve ever had. They gave our girls the most love and gentle care. They will definitely be our first go-to from now on!”

“Rebecca put me at ease when I left Kira - by sending me pictures and videos of her playing with their dog Mae. She was quick to text me both before our stay and during Kira's stay. We would book with Rebecca again!”

Suzanne M.

“Barbara was polite, thoughtful, and kind. She texted to let us know how he was doing about halfway through the appointment, and she shared a cute picture. I would definitely book with her again and certainly recommend her!”

About: My kids (13-19) and I can offer a safe, happy home, companionship and plenty of play time to your furry friend(s) while you're away! Being semi-retired allows me to dedicate more time to caring for pets. I frequently assist friends and family with pet care when they travel. My life basically revolves around my 3 teenagers, volunteering and bike riding when possible. Your pet will always have company in our home, with plenty of walks and playtime. My children, especially my daughters, love and enjoy their companionship.

“Alina was great with Koda! She is super sweet and sends pictures and videos. Her dog and Koda played really good together. I will definitely book with her again!”

About: For years, I've walked the fields and trails along the Potomac River with a furry companion - most recently with Flannery, my family's Great Pyrenees who loved romping in Virginia Bluebell flowers and sinking her paws into mud. Animals have always been a part of my life. I've mucked stalls, herded ewes and lambs, evaded headbutting rams, cuddled pigs, milked goats, trimmed hooves, and named a farm dynasty of cats and kittens names like "Nefertiti" and "Isosceles" (after Egyptian royalty and geometry terms). Animals and their personalities are a source of endless interest for me. “If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans.” ~James Herriot I have a flexible work schedule at home and welcome an excuse to enjoy fresh air and exercise together with your pet. I'm available for daycare and dog-walking every day except for Sunday mornings. Your dog can stay indoor in my apartment or outdoor in the fenced-in yard, as needed. I live in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for walking. If additional space is needed for running and walking in the open countryside, I am also happy to take your dog on a "field trip" to my family's little farm.

“Erin took great care of my dog Rosie! Erin has watched my dog at her home and done a check in at my house. Both visits went perfectly. Rosie gets super excited when she sees Erin and I love the photos she sends. I would highly recommend Erin!”

“Susan was so loving and sweet with my Rosie! She has plenty of walks and she went out of her way to make sure Rosie ate her food. I will absolutely have her watch my dog again in the future and recommend her.”

“Our two dogs seemed so comfortable with Victoria! She went above and beyond our expectations and we will definitely being using her services again!”

“Kristen was very quick to respond & easy to work with. Our dogs enjoyed their time at her home & would love to come back for future daycare/boarding.”

About: We have fostered dozens of little and not so little pups over the years and would be happy to care for your dog while you are away. Your dog will become part of our family during his stay and our dog is the best to make them feel welcome. We work from home so they are never left alone. The patio door is constantly open letting them roam in and out of the house as they pleased. They will get at least 2 long walks per day and they will be petted numerous amount of times. We have fostered puppies from 6 weeks old up to senior dogs and will adapt our activities to your dog's needs. We only accept one dog at a time to make sure they get the care and attention you would expect. Thank you for considering us! I work from home and take frequent breaks to walk the dogs and play with them. With me, your dog will get all the attention they deserve. Pets are allowed everywhere on the main floor. They have beds in every single room and permanent access to water (we have a dog water fountain).

About: I have volunteered at my local veterinarian for 6 years. That experience allowed me to be around all kinds of pets and I learned different ways to take care for them. I have my own dog, who I have had for 7 years. While growing up I had two Rottweilers and I adored them. I have always been around my family and friends’ pets. I am a recent college graduate but I am not currently working, so I have the whole entire day to play with your fur babies! I have a golf course behind where I live, which is where I like to walk dogs. I am not currently accepting overnight stays, but maybe in the future!

“Jenn was very easy to work with! She was always quick to respond and understood all my anxious dog's needs. My dog had a great day with her and I was sure she was in good hands. I would highly recommend Jenn for all your pet needs!!!!”
