House Sitting in Haymarket

“Great with our dog. She’s a puppy and this is the first time she hasn’t been with us since we got her. Jasper took excellent care and provided a ton of updates and pics of her. Will definitely use again.”

“Couldn’t be happier with the service. Oksana always takes the best care of my dog, will take him on walks, and sends me updates. We love having her and Jax loves her too!”

Diana S.

“Elizabeth stayed for two full weeks at our house taking care of all the pets, and even the plants. It was SO nice leaving without needed to do anything or stressing the animals with a different environment or prolonged loneliness while we were gone and returning with everyone and everything still in its place happy and healthy.”

Elizabeth M.

“Latasha was fantastic with our cat, dog, and Guinea pig! Our critters took to her very quickly and Latasha gave us regular updates. We will absolutely ask her to care for our fur family in the future because we know they’ll be well cared for!”

Daniel S.

“Isabel did a great job of taking care of Honcho!”

Linda H.

“Caroline took such great care of our puppy and kitty! She sent lots of pictures and was super communicative. We would absolutely ask her to house sit again”

Katherine L.

“Chae did an outstanding job watching my dog in my home. She was kind and thoughtful, and followed my directions on the RX needs of my pet. I would def have Chae back in my home to watch my doggie for a few days or just having her stop by to let my dog out for a few mins. Very happy to have found Chae here.”

Gregg Z.

“Our boys immediately loved Nadia and we felt very comfortable trusting her with our babies and our home. She’s sweet, loving, and a great communicator. We look forward to next time.”

About: I have been a dog sitter for neighbors for at least 3 years now. I have handled multiple at once and even have been referred back multiple times! I will make sure your pup gets great care :). I am currently a college student, but I only have one class at 3:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays so Mon/Wed night/Sunday I can help! I can also dog walk and drop in whenever you need, no matter the day! I live in an apartment, but I can puppy proof if needed. There is plenty of space to take ur pup for a walk and many dog parks nearby!

About: Please take a moment to read my full description 🐾💛. It’s very important to me that you do, as everything I include here is designed for the benefit of everyone involved —your pet, myself as their caregiver, and you as their loving parents, because I know your furry friend is truly part of your family and deserves the best care. You may find that what I’ve written here answers several of your questions, especially if this is your first time leaving your pet in someone else’s care. Here you’ll find all the details about boarding and daycare, including my routine, flexibility, safety measures, and how I care for each pet’s needs. If you have any questions or additional concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’ll be happy to answer everything you need so you can feel completely comfortable and at ease before booking. 🐾✨ ⸻ Hi! I’m Romely, a lifelong animal lover currently living in Virginia. I’m bilingual (English & Spanish), so I can communicate comfortably in both languages —making it easier for you to feel understood and confident when we talk about your furry family member. 💬🐾 I began my journey as a rescuer and volunteer in animal shelters in Puerto Rico, caring for dogs and cats in delicate conditions and staying by their side until they found their forever homes. That experience taught me empathy, patience, and what it truly means to care from the heart. After moving to Virginia, I continued volunteering at local shelters, gaining even more experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and special needs. Caring for animals remains the heart of my daily life. At home, your pet will meet Athenas, my sweet, calm, and friendly dog who loves making new friends —both dogs and cats. I like to provide a balanced routine, with fun walks around our community’s pet park, interactive play, mental stimulation, and cozy relaxation time in a safe, loving environment. During their stay or care, your pet is my priority. I make sure they receive all my attention, love, and supervision so they feel comfortable, happy, and safe at all times. 💛🐾 For me, the most important thing is your pet’s safety and your peace of mind, knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I like to maintain constant communication with pet parents and share multiple updates throughout the day, whether it’s photos, videos, or messages showing how your pet’s day is going. 📸🐾 I never call unless it’s an emergency, but I genuinely enjoy keeping you updated because I know how important it is to feel connected and reassured. If you prefer a different communication style (for example, fewer updates or only once a day), just let me know —I’ll gladly adapt to your preferences. 💕 I’m trained in Pet CPR and First Aid, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications when needed. I completely understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be hard —for both you and your furry friend. That’s why I do everything possible to ensure everyone feels comfortable and at peace from the very beginning. We love treating every pet as part of our own family, giving them the same love, respect, and attention we give to our own. ✨ I only host one family at a time to guarantee fully personalized care. For day sitting, I can care for up to two pets per day, always ensuring each one receives the attention, love, and space they deserve. We also love celebrating pets! 🥳 If your furry friend has a special day —like a birthday or adoption anniversary— please let me know. I enjoy hosting small “puppy parties” and making homemade pupcakes, decorating the space to make their stay extra special. 🎂🐾 📸 I also love photographing pets during their stay and sharing some of those joyful moments on Rover or social media, showing happy, everyday activities. If you’d prefer that I don’t post photos of your pet, please just let me know —I’ll fully respect your wishes. 💕 💻 Since I work from home, I’m not available for in-person meet & greets, as I often have meetings or need to be on call, and I wouldn’t be able to give you the full attention you deserve. I also made this decision because most of my apartment is carpeted, and some people prefer not to remove their shoes when entering. In our home, we don’t wear shoes indoors, keeping the environment clean and safe for the pets. At the entrance, we have a paw-cleaning station, where every time the dogs go out or come back in, we wash their paws with dog-safe soap and water before letting them walk freely inside the apartment. I’m happy to share details about the soap I use, and if your pet has any allergies or needs a specific type of shampoo, please let me know so I can use their own product and ensure their comfort and safety. 🧼🐾 It’s also very important to let me know if your dog has any food allergies or follows a strict diet. Sometimes a small piece of fruit, a bit of cheese, or a treat dogs love 🧀🍎 might sneak its way in —and I always want to make sure everything your pet receives is completely safe. 💕🐶 For Drop-Off and Pick-Up, you’re welcome to come right up to my door to say goodbye to your furry friend, or if you prefer, you can sit on the porch for a few minutes to have a calm and loving farewell. The same applies when you come for pick-up —I want both you and your pet to feel relaxed and supported during that transition. 💛🐾 🐾 I’m also very flexible with schedules and family needs. If you live nearby, I can offer free pick-up for your pet. If you’re a bit farther away, I can still help with transportation for a small, low fee, just to cover travel costs. I’m also flexible with drop-off and pick-up times —you can set them through the app, but if something unexpected comes up or you need to adjust, please don’t stress! I completely understand. If your dog is with me for day sitting and something comes up at the last minute where they need to stay overnight, don’t worry —these things happen, and I’ll gladly make sure they’re safe and comfortable for the night. 🌙🐾 And if your booking was last-minute and you didn’t have time to buy food or any items your pet might need for their stay, I can take care of that for you and do the shopping myself to make sure your furry friend has everything they need. 🛒💕 If, for any reason, your pet needs to extend their stay, I can often make exceptions when possible, even if Rover shows no availability. My priority is to keep everything stress-free for both you and your pet. 💕 That said, I’m happy to schedule a 15-minute virtual tour of my home, send videos of the community and the dog park, and meet through a video call before your pet’s stay. This way, you can feel completely comfortable and confident before leaving your furry family member with me. 💕 Thank you so much for considering my services! I can’t wait to meet you and your beloved pet. 🌿🐶 I work from home full-time, so your pet will always have company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and even for last-minute bookings, giving you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is always cared for and never left alone. I live in a safe, pet-friendly community with its own dog park, perfect for daily walks, exercise, and playtime. At home, your pet will meet Athenas, our sweet and friendly dog who loves both dogs and cats. If needed, I can provide crate space or separate areas to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: I have had a love for pets since I was a child. I have a deep empathy for them and I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality, each has their own quirks and I love that. Makes each pet unique. I’m currently working full time Monday through Friday (8am - 5pm.) I am more open to availability of late drop-in visits & walks in the evenings. I have two dogs at my home so I’m no stranger to managing multiple dogs at once. I can easily crate your dog if needed and offer to keep up with their training if that’s something you may be interested in.

“Jess was an amazing pet-sitter. She communicated daily and sent pics of my dog and cats. It looks like they were very comfortable with her. She was even able to do insulin shots for one of my fur babies. Our house was very tidy when we returned and the whole groups looked well cared for. I highly recommend her for any pet/house sitting needs.”

About: I love animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I always want you to feel comfortable and confident while your pets are in my care. I will love them like my own. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced from playful puppies to senior dogs who may need a bit of extra supervision or assistance. I’m very passionate about keeping every dog happy, healthy, and safe! See availability below- taking care of animals is natural to me and I am dependent and responsible. I want to ensure every pet gets proper time and care weather It’s drop in’s, walks, feedings, or a stay, I am consistent and your pet has my undivided attention! When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their familiar routines. I follow any instructions provided by the owner carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I provide any update to the owners and ensure your space is respected while providing attentive companionship.

“Ella was wonderful with our sweet dogs, would highly recommend. She was attentive, took time to send photos and updates and left our dogs feeling loved.”

About: I have had 3 dogs and 3 cats in my lifetime. I am 24 years old and have always grown up around pets. I am no longer around pets but would love to share the love with pets again and that is why I am hoping to get experience through this app. Animals love my peaceful and playful personality. I am very active and take 2-3 walks a day, which your pets can come on too! I work remote and the only time pets will be left alone is when I am at the gym or running errands. Please contact me with any questions, thank you! I take walks every day so pet sitting a dog wouldn’t interrupt that, the dog would just join me on my normal daily / weekly routine! I treat them like family. Like a best friend and with the respect and playfulness that animals give to us humans! Animals are a blessing and we must treat them as such.

“Everything went great, hope to use again!”
