Dog Sitting Leesburg

“So Colleen took care of my 105 lb German Shepherd and 75 lb German Shepherd while I was away. My pups are dominant and if you let them, they will take over as the pack lead. Colleen easily handled them and quickly bonded with them as the pack leader. She came to the house several times a day to take care of them and took extra special care of my female who was sick and not feeling well. When the female had diarrhea, Colleen helped clean up (thank you so much!), helped administer her meds and made her chicken and rice to give her something easy on the stomach to eat when my pup would not eat her normal kibble. I always received a report card and several pics from each stay and Colleen kept me up to date on my pups and how they were doing. Highly recommended!!!!”

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life. Whether it be mine (Kam, Corky, Nappy) or my kids. I am a caring and compassionate individual and look forward to caring for your baby as my own. I work remote typically Monday to Friday. I am flexible with my work location as long as there is good wifi connectivity for me to use. Thanks. I do not offer in my home service but would be happy to care in your place. I’m not a fan of crating but respect the tough nature of each owners decision.

About: I have volunteered at the animal shelter since I was 14 years old. I have taken care of my friends and family's pets. These pets have included cats, dogs, and guinea pigs. I have experience taking care of and raising kittens. I used to foster cats. I am also pursuing a career as a veterinarian. I am a full-time student with most of my classes in the morning. I should have plenty of time to look after your pets in the afternoons or weekends! I take precautions when I am in someone else's home. I will monitor the pet(s) closely to make sure that they do not get injured.

About: I absolutely love dogs! All breeds and ages. I have always loved having them part of my family as well as working with them from other families. I am very active so I love taking walks and runs with the pups! As well as playing outside and keeping them active. I am very flexible when it comes to Schedules and working with families! I am able to come anytime after 1pm. I have had previous duties to wash and dry, play outside, and feed them! I also run errands for food and all other needs. I love spending time around dogs and gaining more experience with new dogs. I have my own six year old pitbull, 3 year old Bassett hound/beagle mix, three year old staffy and a 5 year old cat! I truly understand how hard it can be to leave your babies with someone but I will treat them as if they are my own! I am looking forward to working with some new furry friends! I am available during the day as I am working from home at the moment and am able to get out to take your dog for a walk or if they are staying at my home take them to our dog park. I am also available in the evenings as well. I have a dog park where I live so they will always be able to have a fun, safe place to play. As well as take them for walks in the area.

“Jake took wonderful care of our dog. He carefully followed all instructions and spent quality time with her. It’s obvious that Jake loves animals and is a kind person. I will definitely have Jake help us out in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, patient, and experienced pet lover who treats every animal like family. Whether your pet is high-energy and playful or calm and cuddly, I adjust to their personality and needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, as well as cats and other small pets. I’m comfortable with administering medications, sticking to specific feeding schedules, long walks, crate training, senior care, and puppy routines. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. You can expect: • Plenty of exercise and playtime • Consistent routines • Clean food and water bowls • Lots of affection and attention • Regular photo and video updates I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I communicate clearly and promptly so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your pet! Feel free to reach out with any questions — I’m happy to schedule a meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a perfect fit. I’m currently working part time Mon - Friday 10am - 3pm, but my husband is retired and generally home most of the time - I am happy to overnight board as well I have a fenced yard with 3 acres and beautiful country roads for strolling and spending quality time with your pup - we currently do not have pets

About: I’ve always had a dog as a part of my life growing up ever since I was 6. In more recent years, I was the co-pet parent of a dog for roughly 3 years, and I’d like to think he turned out pretty well. I have some decent knowledge and experience when it comes to handling and training dogs, namely by encouraging desired behaviors through positive reinforcement. While my experience may not be the most comprehensive, I’d like to think I more than make up for it with my love for dogs! Some day I’d love to have one of my own, but with my current life schedule and commitments, it’s just not in the cards for me. I’ve recently had the privilege of dipping my toes into fostering pups, which has taught me a lot about caring for a dog by myself. In the meantime, I’m perfectly content walking, caring for, and loving your dog just as if it was my own! I currently work full time 9-5 (generally) M-F, but I do have periods of flexibility when I can come walk/pet sit during the day. I’m also able to take some days of the week remote. I do have some after work commitments during the week days, but they’re relatively minimal, flexible, and I’m willing to work with you to find out what works best for you, me, and your pup! I have a fairly good understanding of dog body language and mannerisms and will, under no circumstances, put your dog in any position of discomfort in your home or on our walks. I will be sure to give your dog plenty of attention and playtime, but not to the extent that the dog feels uncomfortable or threatened by me. When it comes to walks, your dog is the boss-it’s their time to sniff, exercise, and do their business while I’m just along to chaperone them. That being said, I’ll make sure to avoid any altercations with other dogs or people by limiting those interactions on walks.

“Meghan has been great with my two young Huskies. Not everyone could deal with that kind of energy, but Meghan has been extremely flexible as we work together to accommodate their needs, plays with them to burn some of their energy, and ensures they have clean water and treats. She uses good judgement in evaluating weather factors that particularly impact Huskies and is careful not to teach them new bad habits (they can come up with enough all on their own - hah). They clearly love her and look forward to her visits.”

“Margaret was referred to me by a friend and she is by far the best person we’ve had take care of our pups!! She made us feel very comfortable by providing lots of detail of her visits and tons of pics! We will for sure be asking her to come again! 😊”

About: Hello! My name is Ricardo and I am 27 years old. When I was a child I grew up in a home taking care of several animals. In my teens I had a poodle and a cat. No job is too big or too small. I have already had the opportunity to take care of 4 adorable puppies in my previous apartment. I currently have more availability for your pet. I'm looking to spend my free time doing what I like the most. I will take care of your beloved pet in your home following all your desires and needs! I have a part-time job in the afternoons on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. I am ready to receive your pets on the days that I am available, play with them and take them for a walk as many times as necessary. Give them all the necessary love and security that they are in a safe place for their stay, we love to go for a walk and generate trust between your pet and me. Make them play and fill them with hugs and kisses.

“Megan watched my two mature cats for five days, and I couldn't have gotten a better person! She followed all instructions, including giving my male his daily insulin shot. She loved on them as if they were her babies. I was given updates at each visit and adorable pictures. If you need her to take care of your fur babies, know that she will be a great sitter. I only wish she weren't leaving our local area next month.”

“Colleen did an excellent job dropping in on our dog while we were away for the weekend. The text updates on how our dog was doing and what she did during the visits was much appreciated! Colleen is a true dog lover!”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I have cared for large dogs, such as Labs and Pit Bulls, as well as smaller breeds like Pomeranians, Pugs, and mixed breeds. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets with special dietary needs or medications. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and am currently studying online, which allows me to work from almost anywhere. I love going on walks, especially after a meal, and having a furry companion makes them even better! My flexible lifestyle allows me to make time for your pet’s needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I love being able to incorporate pet care into my day while making sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for. I provide pet care in the comfort of your own home, whether through drop-in visits, dog walking, or other care your pet may need. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My family has always taught me to leave a place better than I found it, and I carry that value with me in everything I do. I will treat your home and belongings with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. I also understand that I’m not just caring for a pet; I’m caring for a beloved member of your family. I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, attentive hands and is being looked after in the familiar environment you’ve trusted me with. My goal is to maintain your pet’s routine, respect your home, and make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away.

“I continue to use Erin when I am out of town not only does she love my sweet boxer her family plays and loves her just as much ….so grateful I found you on Rover!”

About: I am searching for dog walking positions in Leesburg and Ashburn. What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is I will connect a strong bond with your pet, make sure they are as comfortable as possible, and I will give your pet exactly what they need. I will make sure they are happy, healthy, safe and having fun. I do have experience in giving medication (orally) if your pet needs it. I have pet sat for both dogs and cats before. I also have had a couple years of dog walking, and I also have a pet of my own. I have worked at a doggy daycare so I have experience with a whole mix of dog breeds of all ages. I am hardworking, efficient, and friendly. I really love dogs and cats and I hope I can be a perfect fit for both you and your pet. I am pretty flexible at the moment! Ideally I can work Monday through Saturday from 7-6pm but I am not available to work on Sundays. I am loving, caring and patient with the animals. I provide fun that comes with being a sitter. I also have a great building trust connection with the animals.

“Wendy was amazing! Great communication and took great care of my furry friend while I was away. I felt good knowing she was stopping by and I will certainly book her again.”

About: I have 2 rescue pitbulls at home and have a grandma that takes in rescue dogs freqently so I’ve been around dogs of all shapes and sizes my entire life! I no longer live at home so don’t get to see the pups as often in my new house and miss getting time around dogs but not quite ready for having my own. My job is remote and flexible as of right now so i’m happy to help and can move around a lot during the day to help. I have a big back yard and live near multiple parks and would be able to take them on many walks. I am also willing to spend and hangout at others houses for as much time as possible.

About: I’ve lived with pets all my life and currently have one indoor cat (spayed, friendly) and one dog (spayed, spends most time outside). I’ve done dog sitting for up to two weeks in the past and cat sitting for up to one month both in my home and at pet owners’ homes. Though I prefer felines as they’re easier to manage, small/medium dogs are certainly welcome — as long as they’re not too vocal. I am a long distance runner and hiker, so no walking distance is too far for me! My arm strength does have a limit, so any dogs over 30 pounds who pull/aren’t fully leash trained are a no-go. Additionally, I’ve done pet sitting for guinea pigs and rabbits for 1-3 day periods! I work part time and do most work from home, so I’m continuously available all week. My home is right next to the W&OD trail, so walks are convenient all times of day and the trail is never crowded. I’m always happy to drive pets to the trail as well. My cat remains entirely indoors, but the dog has endless pits of energy and so spends lots of time outside. We have two fenced areas, one specifically for the dog and another for the pool, along with ~1 acre of unfenced yard.
