About: I started taking care of neighbors' and friends' dogs, cats, fish, hamsters and birds when I was 14 years old. I love animals and wildlife of all kinds. I have been a cat and dog mom for 28 years and have had 2 leash and dog-reactive dogs (strong, 60 pound+ mutt and pit bull) so I am experienced in dealing with these situations. I have strong situational awareness with my head on a swivel when walking dogs. My senior kitty required specialized medical care at the end of her life with daily prescription medication and subcutaneous fluids. I have volunteered as a dog walker and cat snuggler at Friends of Homeless Animals rescue. I have been a social worker for 30 years and am nearing retirement from full-time employment. I would love to use my love of animals to continue working as a pet-sitter and dog walker. I am very organized, detail-oriented and will care for your pet as I care for my own. I would love to meet you and your pets to see how I can be of service. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday but am retiring at the end of September. My weekends are currently free. I have some flexibility in my weekday schedule so I may be available on a case-by-case basis for weekday dog walks that are in western Loudoun County and within a 10 minute drive of my home. I will care for your pet in your home so that they will be the most comfortable. I am available for overnight stays to keep your pet company and to provide close supervision, lots of TLC, food, water, potty breaks and anything else you may need. I am a non-smoker and non-drinker. I am very detail-oriented, responsible and dependable. As a bit of an overprotective dog mom, I have needed to entrust my dog's care to a pet sitter. My dog is my world. So I know just how valuable trust, dependability and attention to detail are. What matters to you matters to me. I will follow your instructions down to the smallest detail. I will be diligent in communicating with you, sending regular updates and photos of your pet so that you know they are safe and happy in my care.

“Grace watched our French bulldog Otis for a week while we were on a family vacation. She provided exceptional care of Otis and our home. She followed our directions for Otis’s schedule and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy. They became best friends by the end of the week! I would recommend Grace to anyone who wants a responsible, kind and caring dog sitter!”

“Jennifer is wonderful with our pets and also very considerate, leaving our house cleaner than when we left. It's nice to be able to relax on vacation without worrying about how things are going at home. With Jennifer we know everything's fine. Highly recommend her!”

“This was my first time booking with Melinda and she exceeded all our needs, especially when my dog had a bad day health wise. I took the longest vacation in my adult life and overseas as well, she gave me peace of mind I needed to enjoy my trip. 1000% would rebook and recommend her wholeheartedly.”

About: Have only had 9 months total of my life without a dog or a pack of them by my side. Your fur baby will be fostered as one of my own; their walk, run, or potty break is all about them! With guidance from you, we will move at their pace. If they want to go for a run... then we run! If they prefer to walk tree to tree and smell every flower, that's fine too! I am available early mornings and mid-days during the week. I also have availability nightly to check on the pups and make sure they're ready for bed. I look forward to meeting the needs of your family, if it be walking or running the dogs, or making sure they are comfortable in your home, just let me know. I am fortunate enough to have a remote role, so my schedule is usually set to my own dog's needs. I am by no means a gym rat or a marathon runner. Yet that doesn't stop me from getting in usually 2-6 miles a day, both walking and running. While my dog is crate trained, it would be great if yours is as well, for those few errands that may take me away for up to 4 hours at a time (a busy week would be 3 half days in the office)

“Eme was so good! Came home to a spotless house and our dog was in great hands! She was responsive and put our mind at ease with great updates. You can tell she’s very experienced and professional. Your pet is in good hands with Eme!”

About: I grew up on a small farm and currently live with one sweet cat and two fun pups! I’ve house sat and worked with a wide range of animals- from dogs and cats to fish and farm animals- often caring for multiple pets at once. I’m flexible, dependable, and always willing to adapt to each pet’s routine and personality. I’ve just finished a work contract and have a flexible schedule for the next few months. I’m available most days and can easily adapt to your pet’s routine! I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable. I take great responsibility in respecting your home and space, follow routines closely, and provide dependable care with regular updates!

“Kristine is a warm and caring individual and my dogs picked up on that immediately. She was fantastic with our three German Shepherds. She took great care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She was respectful of our property, cleaned up after herself and the dogs, and went above and beyond by mopping up after a rainstorm and even throwing linens in the wash before we returned. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was being handled so thoughtfully. Great communication, too. I would absolutely book Kristine again and highly recommend. Kristine, if you’re reading this, thank you so much for putting up with all the shedding, the Shepherds were dropping their coats like crazy.”

Alesha R.

“Natalie was absolutely wonderful with our pets! She kept us updated throughout the stay, made sure our dog was walked and our cat was taken care of, and clearly treated them like her own. It was so reassuring to be away knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!”

About: Dogs look to us for companionship, bonding, and care. I love being able to provide them with the security and friendship to fur babies ☺️ I work from home and I currently have two medium dog babies at home who love my attention and often sit outside with me working I have a fenced yard, 4 bedrooms, extra crates or you can bring your own. I often sit outside with the dogs to play fetch

About: I grew up with so many animals and was taking care of them as soon as I could walk! We had at least 3 dogs at a time, a cat, etc. I love to take my dogs on long walks! I’m currently working at a restaurant during the weekday nights but available daytime and mornings! My family moved away and took the animals so I’m wanting that animal love back in my life! I just make sure they’re being taken care of and getting lots of exercise and pets! Pet affection is the best type of love and I miss it!

About: Growing up, my family has owned many dogs and other pets, and I have always been heavily involved in their care. I had a dog walking business a few years ago, and I regularly watched the dogs of our friends and neighbors. My family also fostered a dog for a time, which I was heavily involved in. Over the last year, I have had the opportunity to walk and care for many different dogs through Rover. Throughout all of these experiences, I have had to care for many different types of dogs, both big and small, and old and young. As a result, I am comfortable with all types of breeds and know how to navigate challenges when it comes to pet care. Most importantly, I love dogs! I am available every day of the week from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. I am very flexible and can always find time to accommodate other schedules. Please check my calendar for any days marked unavailable. When caring for dogs in the homes of others, I make sure that they are comfortable, well fed, and loved. When walking dogs, I always make sure to go at their pace, pick up after them, and keep them safe.

“Ken watched my pups for a week while I was away. He was amazing. He kept me informed daily of their activities. He sent pics. He definitely made me able to relax and enjoy the trip knowing that the pups are in good hands! Definitely will be calling Ken again.”

“Gabby is the best! She is very reliable, kind and attentive. She went above and beyond house sitting and taking care of our two huskies. I would highly recommend her!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and energy I bring to every pet I look after. I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. As an active person, I enjoy keeping dogs engaged through walks, exercise, and interactive play. I am comfortable caring for puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior dogs who may require a gentler approach and extra attention. I am reliable, communicative, and always provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to treat every pet like family and provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have availability throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. During the summer and school breaks, I have even greater flexibility and can dedicate additional time to caring for pets. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, making dog walking and playtime something I genuinely look forward to. When caring for your pet, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and care based on their individual needs. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or extended pet sitting, I am committed to being reliable, communicative, and ensuring your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special care requirements. I understand that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. During walks and visits, I remain attentive to my surroundings and ensure pets are always safely leashed and supervised. I provide plenty of affection, playtime, and companionship while respecting the rules and routines established by the owner. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving excellent care. I treat every pet and home with the same level of respect, responsibility, and care that I would expect for my own.

About: I have been a dog and cat sitting going on 5 years now. With 5 consistent families I catsit and dogsit for I make it my mission to make the babies and their parents feel safe, comfortable, and confident having me care for their loved one and in their home. I have my own kitty at home and have history with caring for both cats and dogs. I provide services walking and pet sitting. I am currently self employed so my days are very flexible. When I am working it is either at my store from 8-3 or at home. When pet sitting I adjust my schedule to your pet’s eating and bathroom schedule to assure that when they are with me that they are top priority. When I am pet sitting in a client’s home, I want their fur baby to feel familiar, comfortable, and safe in their own home. I always like to know their favorite hiding spots, favorite toys, and personality characteristics to assure I can make them feel safe and sound while their owner is away. Once my stay is over I always assure to leave everything better than I found it - taking out the trash, washing dishes, washing towels, sweeping, etc. to assure the owner comes home to a clean and tidy space so they can focus on relaxing with their pet when they come home :)!
