House Sitting in Ironsides

“Tiffany was great! She was prompt and professional and took great care of Maggie. She took her for walks and outside to play while we were away. She also has good dog management skills which were obvious when she came to meet Maggie and get instructions. She immediately calmed her down and brought her energy under control. Our house was neat and everything was in its place. We will definitely book her next time we are out of town!”

“Morgan took great care of our two 100+ lb mastiffs and elderly 5lb cat over the July 4th weekend. The house was left in perfect shape. The animals were happy, minimally stressed even after a night of fireworks, and had zero complaints. Morgan kept us informed all throughout the booking of the animal's welfare and activities. A++, would book again.”

“Erica was prompt with all communication and I’m pretty sure my home is cleaner than I left it. I appreciated her frequent updates, especially considering our dog can be a handful. I’m glad to have found a trustworthy sitter who is willing to care for our pet in our own home. We’ve already booked her again!”

“Atiyana did a wonderful job taking care of our dig Leila. Leila was happy to meet her and took to her from day one. Thankful that she was able to care for her and feed our fish!”

Kimberly L.

“Demmi was professional and clearly capable of handling my Great Danes. My shy girl warmed up to her in minutes and was giving her the Great Dane lean. I’ll be leaving my giant fur babies in her care again soon and know I will not need to worry while I am away.”

“Hana was superb for our short notice overnighter. She was on time, communicative, and I would never have even known she was at the house. We will definitely be keeping her in mind in the future!”

“Wow, is all I can say. Deborha is a fantastic fur- babysitter and housesitter. I come home and feel the respect and care with which she treats her environment. It’s was an absolute joy to have care for what means the most to me, my critters. Very communicative, sent me joyful pictures, I’m just really grateful to have had her loving care while I was out of town. Highly recommend!”

“Andrea was so good with our labradoodle, Ellie. Andrea took care of all of Ellie’s needs and also kept us up to date on how the weekend went. We felt 100% comfortable with Andrea and highly recommend her!”

“Alexandra is Amazing!! She was so good with our fur-babies!! Normally our boys are all over us when we come home, even if it is just a trip to the store. Alexandra stayed with them for the day and when we got home, they were like "Oh....you're home..." They were so content and happy! We got regular communications and wonderful pictures! Alexandra is definitely our go-to dog sitter!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs since childhood, growing up with seven and now raising two Basset Hounds. I treat every pet like family—with love and attention. I've been caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 9, including walking, feeding, bathing, and giving extra attention to senior dogs and those with special needs. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly rely on me to care for their pets, knowing I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs active playtime or calm companionship, I bring genuine love, experience, and dedication to every visit. I’m currently an unemployed student and available full - time so my schedule is clear. I respond fast and show up fast, whenever and wherever. I have two very friendly basset hounds at home that can give your doggy some company. I have homemade beds for all doggies and crates if needed. Very spacious house with 4 floors, no backyard, but at least 3 walks per day implemented into the daily routine for exercise as well as plenty of dog toys and treats.

“Abby is an incredible sitter! My fiancé and I wanted to find a sitter who genuinely loves animals and would care for our babies the way we do- Abby was the perfect fit. She is kind, gentle, and easy to communicate with. Our cats immediately gravitated towards her. They trusted her, and so did we. If you want peace of mind that your babies are being loved and cared for while you’re away, Abby is the way to go! We will absolutely be calling on her to sit for us again in the future. :)”

“Talia was available just a few days before I was set to leave for vacation after previous booked sitter had to cancel at the last minute. Talia was great with my dog, Piper. She was so patient with Piper as it took a few days to warm up to her. She sent pictures and updated via text, and even left notes for when I got home. I will definitely keep Talia in mind for when I need a house sitter for Piper again.”

“She’s definitely great! Very attentive to my cat. Came twice a day and played with him, feed him and made sure his litter was changed. Will be reaching out to her again in the future.”

About: I have worked with every dog and cat breed you can imagine. I grew up studying breed books and very flexible with each pet’s needs and wants. I love a challenge! Some of my best clients are very detailed orientated and I will follow that to a T. I’m a full time mom, so pet care works seamlessly with my schedule. I do have a part time importing business which some weekends will be off limits, but I know that schedule a year out, so there will be no disturbances to my set schedule. I’m very flexible with last minute weekday needs. I make sure the pet and I are a good fit at the meet and greet, I never try to force a relationship. I want your pet to feel totally safe with me. I make sure to ask every detailed questions and what you expect from me, as I want your pet to experience no disruptions in care. Water is refilled every visit and trash put in the correct bins.

About: With years of experience raising Golden Retrievers and Labradors, I understand the energy, affection, and attention these amazing dogs need. I’ve also cared for a wide range of other breeds and personalities, each with their quirks and charms. Every dog I welcome is treated like family with love, care, and plenty of excitement to make them feel right at home. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a cozy nap, or good company, your pup will be in great hands. I currently serve full-time in the military and am based in Northern Virginia. My weekday availability starts around 6 PM (Monday through Friday), perfect for evening walks or drop-ins. On weekends, I’m available all day for dog walking and offer overnight boarding from Friday through Sunday. I take pride in providing dependable, loving care, and your dog will be treated like family every step of the way. Whether it’s a weekend stay or a long walk, I’m here! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether caring for them in my home or yours, I create a calm, secure environment where they feel loved and respected. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space, carefully follow all feeding and medication instructions, and ensure plenty of play, attention, and rest. I treat every pet like family because that’s exactly what they become.

“This was our first time with Jade and we were happy to have booked with her. She was very communicative. Responded quickly to our texts and sent pictures of the pups. Our dogs are on a set routine that incorporates a medicine schedule and she was able to follow it. She will also be watching our dogs next weekend, and feeling extremely comfortable with her taking care of them. Thanks Jade!”

About: I have been taking care of pets (dogs, cats, turtles, fish) ever since I was a kid. I am in the military now and don't have pets of my own due to the constant travel. Because of this, I don't get to see cats or dogs often and I take pride in being able to say I treat the pets I do see (friends, coworkers, clients) like as if they were my own. I don't have any pets of my own, but when it comes to watching my clients pets, they are my number 1 priority all day. I work around the pets i'm sitting. My only exception to this is when i have emergent military duties to perform. Even then, I will still ensure your pet is safe and correctly cared for anyway I can. My only option for dog sitting is in my clients home, I am in the military and live in a building where pets aren't allowed.

About: I owned many different pets in the past from cats, snakes, reptiles, birds, and dogs. So I know how to take care and adapt to new situations Free all day and everyday, my hours are really flexible and I am able to work towards yours needs in order to give you the best service you I make sure to watch them so I know they are safe, but I also give them attention and make sure to play with them so they are not bored
