We appreciated Nicole’s attentiveness with our pups, updates and photos, and knew our dogs were so well cared for while we were gone for Thanksgiving.

Paul and his wife stayed at my house with my elderly dog. They were fantastic communicators, sending lots of messages and pictures and asking questions when they needed to. I highly recommend them. I have already signed them up to watch Gert again!

Katie made sure to take care of my dog and send regular updates throughout the night. I really appreciate the extra care she put in for my sometimes high maintenance dog to keep him calm while I could not be at home.

Christina has been cat sitting my two fur babies for a couple of months when I go on business trips. She has wonderful communication and my cats (who are picky) love when she’s over. They are well taken cared of and hope to continue booking with Christina for future pet sitting needs ! Thank you, Christina !

About: With over 10 years of pet care experience (and a lifetime of having pets of my own), I truly understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I’ve also cared for friends’ and family’s pets, giving me experience with a variety of personalities and needs. I offer flexible scheduling, plenty of play and attention, and top-quality care, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away! I work fully remote, which allows me to be flexible and attentive to your pet’s specific bathroom and feeding routines. I’m available for boarding starting after 4pm on weekdays and after 12pm on weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I can easily crate your dog if needed and always follow your preferences and routines. I live on a quiet street with easy access to safe outdoor areas for regular potty walks and fresh air.

Jessica did a great job taking care of my GSD, Auggie. She was very communicative, my place was cleaner than I left it which is going above and beyond, and most importantly, my dog was happy and well taken care of. I will definitely be reaching out again next time I'm out of town.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child, I’ve owned a fish, 7+ rabbits, 2 hamsters, a turtle, a chick, and currently own 2 dogs. I’ve petsit for mainly friends, I’ve housed a dog until we could find him a home. I also have experience with Guinea pigs and cats. My current schedule is very open and I have lots of availability! I am available almost daily now and will have lots of time for your fur babies. When I walk dogs I love to play with them and pet them before doing anything else so that they feel more comfortable with me being in their home. Then I clean their diapers and wash/replace their food bowls. Then I will take them for a 30min-1 hour walk and when we return back home I like to give them play time if time allows.

The Best! Wayne and Jordan were amazing with my two rescue huskies while I was on vacation. The dogs are generally very cautious of strangers, and they were going through some sibling rivalry and needed to be kept apart - on separate floors of the house. Wayne and Jordan’s pet-sitting experience and patience were apparent in their daily communications and photos. It was great to see how the girls warmed up quickly! Each pup got lots of attention and exercise, and they were calm and happy when I got home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The icing on the cake - the bedding was all washed and the house was clean when I got home. Highly Recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Andrea is a great caretaker of pets and homes. She followed all directions and even cleaned up when one of my elderly cats didn’t make it to the litter box. She washed all the bowls and left them for me, as well as taking out the trash and making sure the cans ended up in the recycling. I will definitely book her again!

About: I have ten years of experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to elderly. I've trained and socialized puppies, ran with energetic younger dogs, and gone on leisurely walks with elderly dogs. I've also worked with rescues to promote a calm and trusting relationship. I currently have a set schedule with several established clients, three in the morning and two in the afternoon. I am otherwise available at your convenience! I live in an apartment building with several parks nearby. I'm happy to travel within the Arlington area so that your dog receives the best care.

I may regret saying this because it could make it harder to book him in the future, but I can’t say enough good things about Leo! He was punctual, communicative, flexible, and genuinely kind throughout the entire experience. He has a calm, friendly nature that immediately put both me and my dog at ease. My Ollie is still generally cautious around strangers, but with Leo it was completely different. The moment Ollie spotted him from a distance, he was excited instead of fearful. He immediately approached him with confidence and comfort, which is incredibly rare for him. Watching that instant connection gave me complete peace of mind. It’s not often you find someone who is not only reliable and professional, but who also has such a natural connection with animals. I would absolutely trust Leo with Ollie again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.

Our pets mean absolutely everything to us and finding consistent, quality care is difficult. However, Albedardo gave my wife and me complete peace of mind. He frequently asked clarifying questions during our meet and greet and during his stay, and clearly read the specific care instructions we provided to him. We especially appreciated his attention to detail and gentle nature, and the regular updates he provided during his stay, which were thorough and included numerous, great photos of our pets. Al even went above and beyond to help us with watering our plants and left our apartment tidy for our return. We are planning to use his services again soon.
