About: hello future clients, Dogs have always captured my heart, even before I could walk! My family raised a variety of dog breeds throughout my childhood, and as soon as I started high school, I got my own furry friend! I'm glad to make new doggo pals and often watch dogs for families and friends in the DMV region while they're away! My schedule is fully flexible because I work from home as my own business owner! I would be pleased to pay your fur baby a visit whenever it works best for their schedule. Also, I have a puppers of my own. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood, with walking trails and dog parks. where your dog can run, make friends and play in a safe controlled environment. I will happy send you picture and video updates of your sweet doggo! I also am happy to play with them using their favorite toys and don't mind spending extra time for snuggle sessions and give them treats while I'm there!

About: Hi there! I’ve been around animals big and small my whole life and also have plenty of experience when it comes to cat care. I have one small 11 year old dog and 3 cats i rescued. Our goal is to make your furry companions comfortable while you’re away and our home can be like a second home to them! We sure love our furry guests as if they were our own! I am currently a stay at home mom so i have plenty of time to care for your pet and their needs. I am pretty flexible on my availability. I have a small dog who is very high energy but friendly with other animals. He loves his kitty sisters and they love him as well but if needed i can keep my fur babies separate from yours (we transformed our basement to a penthouse for our guests lol) My husband helps me out when he can and he loves meeting our new furry friends! We have a 9 month old and he has his own area but also will never be left unattended with a doggo. We allow pets on furniture and we let pets free roam the house. If your pet is crate trained we have one a available for them to use as well. If we need to step out to run errands we have cameras to check on them too and they have a separate safe space separate from our dog if no one is home.

About: My residence has changed but my services have stayed the same. I have moved from the farm and am now in an apartment in Centreville. Because of this I will cater more towards older less active dogs, or smaller calm ones. I will continue with frequent walks on trails and will still go to Bull Run Park which is only a couple of miles away. They won't be crated, can have run of the house and are allowed on furniture. Eating and walking schedule will follow your normal routine. Will send pictures/videos as often as you would like, I want you to be comfortable knowing your pet is happy and being well taken care of. There are two cats living in the house, so please make sure your pet likes My Experience: Great Dane, Police Dog, Labrador, Pit Bull, Mastiff, Shih Tzu, Husky and many more. I work at a local High School from 9-4 in Fairfax, see the FCPS calendar in the Gallery to see my schedule. Please provide their normal schedule for feeding time and exercise so I can maintain this while you are away. I offer overnight stays aimed for those that work night shifts that would need to be dropped off between 4pm-8pm and picked up by 6am the next morning. I offer to come pick up your pet and take you to the airport and you can leave your car at your home. They will have free run of the house and will be taken on frequent walks. Bull Run Park is near the property that has miles of trails and a creek nearby and if they like to swim. I will follow your instructions, walking times, feeding time, medication etc. I don't have cameras in my home but I will take pictures and videos of your pet every day and send them to you so that you know they are happy and healthy. It's important that they are not aggressive, and are cat/dog/people friendly. The safety and welfare of your pet is my #1 priority. I do insist on a meet and greet prior to drop off to see if they are ok with this environment and also let them get comfortable being here with you.

“Wyatt is great! Our dog is very very picky about people but she instantly loved Wyatt! He gave us lots of updates and some pictures, and it seemed like our pup really enjoyed her doggy day care time. We will definitely book again!”


“My shy and takes a while to warm up dog got really comfortable with Aimee and her husband over a couple of trial day care sessions. They’re boarding him over thanksgiving and my mind’s at ease knowing he’ll be well cared for in a wonderful home environment.”


About: I believe that dogs deserve the best experience in life: Sun-bathing, free-running and healthy eating. With my care, I can ensure that the dogs will never want to leave! I am available at home everyday to play and take care of the dogs. I can take them out for walks and play frequently as well as clean them if they get too dirty from playing outside! I have a fenced yard with access of great sunlight and fresh air for the dogs to run around and play. Lots of land and toys for them to explore.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the genuine love and care I provide—because to me, dogs are family. I don’t just “watch” dogs—I care for them as if they were my own children. I have years of hands-on experience with dogs, and I currently have a sweet fur family of my own that includes a Maltese, a Shih Tzu, a Labradoodle, and a Standard Poodle. All are hypoallergenic and get along well with others. I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide one-on-one attention, potty breaks, walks, and a calm, structured environment. I only care for one dog at a time to ensure your pup receives my full attention. I am mainly open to care for hypoallergenic dogs but also others on case by case basis, so just feel free to reach out. I don’t crate dogs unless requested and am happy to follow your dog’s routine for meals, walks, supplements, or special care. I believe every dog deserves personalized attention, gentle handling, and a peaceful transition. I always request a meet-and-greet first to ensure your dog is comfortable and happy with me and my home. Your furry companion’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! No cat watching at this time. I work from home full time, so I have the flexibility to watch and take your fur baby out for a walk and potty breaks. My dogs are trained and well behaved. If your dog needs space from mine, we have a gate that can keep them separated. Also, my pets are up to date with vaccines so I would like to make sure that yours are too!

Leah D.
“Leah and I worked together at the ASPCA for a long time and she showed sympathy towards the shyier animals. She has patience like no other when it comes to animals. I'd like to call her an animal whisperer. For example. We had a litter of puppies refusing to eat Leah sat with them for hours building trust and a relationship between them. She has worked as a pet sitter for me for 4 years and my dogs love her even my cat and she doesn't like new people. I love that she worked in a doggie daycare for 4 months and has been around different breeds, sizes, ages of dogs. Can easily identify them; worked with special needs dogs and cats. If I had to describe her personality: Kind, Caring, bubbly, engaging, loving, patient, friendly, and flexible. I highly recommend her.”
