House Sitting in Locust Dale

“Nichol is very knowledgeable about dogs, and I trust her with my dogs for more services in the future. Very friendly and efficient.”

“We couldn't be happier having Ronda caring for our home and 4 spoiled kitties while we were away! She was very attentive and very caring with all of them and they settled right in with her, which was a big surprise. We assumed they would mostly hide and not be seen for the week we were away. She was in constant communication, sending us plenty of pictures, and we relaxed and enjoyed our trip without a single worry. It was wonderful knowing that they were still being pampered, spoiled and watched over. Thank you Ronda for letting us have a worry free vacation! We will definitely book again!”

“Julia has dog sit for me multiple times. One particular time, she stayed with my dog for a whole week while I was on vacation. She provided exceptional care for my sweet pup. Every day I was gone she would send me pictures and give me updates on how he was doing. My dog gets excited every time he sees her and she makes sure to spend extra time petting him and playing with him outside of her required duties...walking, feeding, etc. I have seen her interact with my dog as well as other animals, and I can tell she genuinely has a love for animals, and animals have a love for her. I would trust her with my dog any day and know that she would go above and beyond. Julia is the first person I ask when I need help with my pup. She is an excellent communicator and is very flexible. I would recommend Julia in a heartbeat, she is wonderful!”

“Emily was gracious and willing to jump in to take care of my animals with pretty short notice. She was absolutely fantastic and my house was well taken care of. Thanks, Emily!”

“It is hard to leave your pets, but Caitlin makes it a little easier. She truly treats them like her own and they are always excited to see her. I cannot recommend her enough. She is responsible, reliable and a very caring person. 10/10 caregiver.”

“Shannon did an AMAZING job taking care of our pets (and home!) In our absence. We returned to happy fur babies, a clean home, and a few thoughtful surprises as well. We'll certainly be reaching out again next time we are traveling!”

“Chris is like the dog whisperer we never knew we needed! From the moment they stepped in, it was clear Rori and Luna were in good hands. Chris's updates were not just informative but also downright entertaining! It's evident that Chris went above and beyond to keep our furry duo entertained and well cared for. From backyard play sessions to neighborhood patrols, Chris ensured that Rori and Luna had a blast while maintaining their good behavior – well, mostly! Their witty anecdotes about the girls' reactions and antics, like Rori embracing her inner cat or Luna's sudden craving for one-on-one time, kept us smiling throughout our trip. Chris's attention to detail, from trying out different leash options to noting the girls' dinner alarm with atomic precision, showed genuine care and commitment. And let's not forget the heroic attempt at distracting Rori from post-dinner play urges – talk about persistence paying off! The Netflix and chill session with our fur babies sounds like the perfect way to wind down, and we appreciate the extra effort in tidying up the house before our return. The folded blankets and freshly washed towels are a nice touch! Overall, Chris's dedication, humor, and genuine affection for Rori and Luna shine through in every update. We couldn't have asked for a better dog/house sitter. Chris, you're pawsitively amazing – Rori, Luna, and we can't thank you enough for taking such great care of our girls! See you again this weekend.”

“Jordann was great and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again! Our dogs aren’t used to being left at home without someone they know well, but we had limited options for this trip. She was super flexible when we asked about doing a meet and greet and the dogs (one of which is medicated for his anxiety) seemed immediately comfortable around her. She stayed with them in our home for 3 days and when we got back the house was clean and the dogs were happy, I couldn’t ask for much more than that. Would definitely recommend!”

“Logan has worked with all of our animals (3 dogs and two cats) for four years! She has helped house train puppies and took care of all of these unique personalities during a month long trip last summer. I can not say enough about how loving and responsible and detail oriented she is. I would highly recommend her to any pet owner.”

“Olivia is amazing. She loves all animals and my dogs adore her. She treats them as her own and takes amazing care of them. I don't trust many with my dogs, and Olivia is always my #1 go too.”

“Nathan has cared for our 80 lb Newfoundland mix on several occasions and always does a fantastic job. She is really always excited to be dropped off (I try not to take that personally!) and in great and healthy shape when we pick her up. Highly recommend Nathan for your pet sitting needs.”

About: Thank you for considering our services. I work from home on specific projects and work part time tutoring, babysitting and petsitting; so that I can spend time with our furry babies. Currently, I split my week between Fairfax and Culpeper for projects. I am available to provide quality dog/cat sitting for your furry babies in the comfort of your home. I care about animals and take care of the pets I sit as if they were my own. I love animals, especially dogs! I have had dogs all my life. My father and brothers were dog breeders. I grew up with 14 dogs at home (ranch/farm), cows, horses, chickens, bees, bunnies, chicks, roosters, and lots of dogs. I have the privilege of being Kahlúa, Bailey and Brandy’s “hooman”! They are part of the family and travel with us everywhere. They are well cared for, well fed, groomed, exercised, socialized and constantly stimulated with dog obedience training. Kahlúa is a "Therapy Dog" for Fairfax County Pets on Wheels (local nursing home). I look forward to spending time with your four legged babies! Thank you for taking the time to read "About Me".
