House Sitting in Loudoun Heights

“Joanne was absolutely wonderful with our 2 senior dogs. One is a finicky eater, and Joanne worked patiently with her to get her to eat. She gave detailed updates and lots of photos. It was hard to trust a stranger to watch our dogs in our home, but meeting Joanne, I could tell they would be in really good hands. We have told all of our neighbors about Joanne, and will definitely use her services in the future. Even if we have to plan our trip around her availability :) Do yourself and your fur babies a favor, book with Joanne!”

“We've never been gone from our pets for two weeks before. When our usual pet sitter told us she was unavailable, we were hesitant in finding new ones for such a long trip. Alexia and Jay were incredible. They had the best attention to detail, care, and love for our animals as if they were their own. Day 1, one of our dogs hurt his back legs somehow and they took him to the ER for us just to be sure. Never a complaint once. It was all smooth sailing after that. We got so many pictures and videos multiple times a day. Very responsive and available for any and all questions. They even went above and beyond to reset the house a bit before we came home. They take this very seriously which made our trip much less stressful. Thank you so much! Can't wait to book you again.”

“Matt is wonderful to stay with our pup. We even noticed our husky was sad that he left after the last stay of almost 2 weeks. Sends updates, can replace bulbs, and is a supper kind animal person!”

“Celina was great with our two pugs! One of them is very people shy, and she had him snuggling with her in no time! She kept us informed as to how our fur babies were doing throughout the weekend. Will definitely use her again!”

“Aly was an absolute joy. She took such good care of both my dogs, one of which is elderly and she made sure she got her meds and any other instructions I left. I got daily updates with lots of pictures, including taking my other dog on car rides in the country! She gave each pet - including my fish! Individual attention and care. I can’t say enough about her and will use her again!”

About: I have always had a pet in my house since the day I was born. Mostly dogs, but I have also had other smaller pets. I now have one 12 year old chocolate lab and one 6 year old black lab that I take care of everyday. Because of this I have experience with puppies and older dogs, along with dealing with more than one pet at a time. I currently have school from 10:30-2:15 but I am free anytime before then and after that. I also am available almost every weekend if needed. I have a fenced in yard with a doggy door to get outside and two friendly dogs to keep your pet company. I love to take my pets on walks or just play with them in the house or yard.

“Vicki was great, Will most certainly use her again.”

“Charles is awesome. He is sooo generous with meeting me and Woody before my trip. Charles was excellent with giving me an update during his stay at my house with Woody.. Woody loved Charles & they got along fantastic. I would recommend Charles to anyone with a pet! He was extremely respectful of my house, generous with his time & Woody loved him. There is a 💯 % I will ask him to watch Woody again!”

“Lauren was great with our pups! We have three big dogs and she sent updates on each one when she let them and fed them! It made it easier on me being gone knowing they were well taken care of. We came home to three happy dogs!! Will definitely be using Lauren again in the future.”

“My husband and I were away on our honeymoon for two weeks, and our original dog walker unexpectedly got sick. We had to scramble to find someone reliable to stay at our home and care for our dog, Quincy. We’re so grateful for Jennifer and her family for stepping in! She was incredibly dependable, kept Quincy’s routine consistent, and showed him so much love — as if he were her own. I really appreciated how flexible she and her family were with our last-minute request. Highly recommend booking her!”

About: I grew up with 2 Labrador retrievers, who I grew a special bond with where I grew to love taking care of dogs! I now have a 3 year old German Shepherd pure bred, who I raised and helped to train. I just adopted a Hound, who is a 2 year old rescue. I love walking my dogs everyday, and also driving them to parks as well. I feed my dogs everyday, and have always been known to be taking care of dogs my whole life. I am 21 years old, and a student at East Carolina University. I come home very often, especially during breaks, and live here all summer! My pets are apart of my everyday life, and I am willing to take care and spend valuable time with pets whenever needed and necessary for you! I am willing to do just about anything with your pets, such as spending time playing with them, walking them, going to a park, feeding them, making sure they go to bed safe, whatever fits you and your pets needs!

“Lydia has been such a joy to work with. She truly loves animals and cares about your pet. She was eager to learn our boy Oscar’s personality and made sure he felt special. She frequently updated us and sent lots of great pics. She was also very respectful of our home. Lydia is kind enthusiastic and very professional. Your fur baby will be in good hands.”

“Faith took such good care of our dogs! Would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Ximena was wonderful to work with. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and kept me informed about how my cats were doing.. It was great not to have to worry about them when I was away. We are new to the area and will be using her when we travel.”

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!

About: Hi, I'm restarting my animal care business. I want to ensure a stimulated experience with a swift pace and consistent disciplined walking style of what I like to refer to as "nose to toes," where the dogs stay no further than my toe, to my sides, or behind me. I also have experience with aggressive dog behavior, so if a single walk is necessary, I can do that. I have been in the animal care business for as long as I can remember, and I know Fairlington very well since I grew up here. I now live in Harper's Ferry in West Virginia. I will be able to track my walks with a phone app that will track your dog's walking pace, distance traveled, and the route we take. I usually do pack walks of 3-5 dogs depending on size, but I can do singles if needed. I'm also able to cat-sit/dog-sit and care for exotics and birds (no insects). I'm flexible because I have my own cleaning/organizing/declutter business. I wake up however early dog might need be let out or pet given meds, and give at least 3 long 30min-hour walks depending on the energy level and few let outs throught the day if needed for young pups or older if bladder is sensitive. Plenty of loves and can work on training or stimulated play time with toys and puzzles. I will be professional and not have any guests over ever, and always keep doors locked when not there and if plants need care I can help with watering. I have 4 animals myself so it's pretty automatic to just add another pet cuz I've cared for multiple animals at a time or drop in visits when needed throughout my day. Whatever the fmaily requests for schedule when to feed, medicate(if needed), amount of walks and play time needed to make sure they're healthy and stimulated. Whenever they're ready for bed, crate if needed requested by parents, and make sure they go outside(dogs) to ensure no accidents throughout the night. I give them just as much love and attention and play as my own. And feed round same schedule unless instructed otherwise. Giving exercise and play time when needed. And kept to routine of crating if owners instruct.

About: Hi, I’m Tess! I live in Charles Town, WV with my two-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Louie, and two cats, Tatiana and Rudy — so your pet is walking into a home that already loves animals. I take a slow, easy approach to dog care. I let dogs sniff, wander, and just be themselves, whether we’re doing a neighborhood walk, a quick potty break, or a longer trail outing. Every walk is just two dogs at most, so your pup gets real time and attention. I always send photo updates along the way so you can see how they’re doing. I welcome dogs of all sizes who are friendly with other dogs, cats, and people. For boarding, I have a large fenced backyard and keep things small and relaxed — more like a home than a kennel. I also offer occasional house sitting for dogs who are happiest in their own space. I’d love to meet your pup! Feel free to reach out to check availability or set up a meet-and-greet. Fridays are my day off, so walks are unhurried and get my full attention. For boarding, I'm home all weekend, so any dog staying with me has someone around rather than sitting alone in an empty house. Dogs staying with me have access to a large fenced backyard and are never left alone outside. Inside, I keep a calm, low-stimulation environment. My Cavalier Louie lives here full time, so any boarding dog will be introduced to him gradually and supervised until I'm confident they're comfortable together. I do a meet and greet with Louie before confirming any boarding stay. For house sitting, I follow the owner's routine as closely as possible so the dog's environment feels as normal as it can while they're away. Photo updates are sent throughout any service.

About: I've lived with dogs since I was born, being able to responsibly care for them even as a kid. I've taken care of the dogs of my neighbor and family friends plenty of times, but even when I'm home I always do the same job. Walk/run, play, feed, water, medicate. Whether it's a grapefruit sized chihuahua or a polar bear sized pyrenees, I've got you covered. Whether they're energetic, shy, or old, I'm here for them all the same. I'll be a junior at Kent State University this fall and I'm looking for work this summer from 5/11 to 8/17. I'm a college student with no part or full time summer job, my availability is always up for discussion whether it's the morning, afternoon, or multiple overnight stays. If I agree to a job, I'm going to come through and finish it. You won't see me flaking out on an opportunity to see dogs. So long as I have a rundown of what I need to do and where everything I need to complete the job is, you can count on me to respect your home and your family. Dogs are always family, they deserve to be treated as such. I'll be sure to write down specific rules about crating or separating multiple dogs when feeding you might have if you haven't written them for me.

About: My pup is an older King Charles clavier mix and the sweetest thing ever. She just had her 12th birthday and I have had her since she was 2! I also have experience with big dogs! My boyfriend has a German shepherd and a Rottweiler who I spend lots of time around. One of my roommates at school also has a cat who lives with us! I have experience watching both dogs and cats and just have a deep love for the both!! I am currently working part-time doing an internship for my school, which has given me lots of free time. I love spending time with my pup either just relaxing, going for walks, or playing. My pup is very well trained which makes it very easy for me to take her out as she doesn’t require a leash. However, I have experience with dogs who have a tendency to run if they get the chance 😂 So I am familiar with adjusting to different dogs needs!
