Pet Sitting Lyon Park

“We reached out to Tara again for a last minute drop in as we were at all day events this whole weekend. Tara was very flexible in checking in on our little guy we totally recommend!”

“Brittany was amazing with my nearly three month old puppy, Ruby! She kept Ruby busy with a walk and playing with all of Ruby’s toys, and by the end of the visit, Ruby was all tired out (which was the goal)! I can’t thank Brittany enough and will certainly be using her again!”

“Zoe was terrific with our poodle. He instantly connected with her and was well taken care of.”

About: I recently graduated with a PhD from George Mason University, so I'm highly organized and detail-oriented. I love animals of all shapes and sizes, and pet sitting provides much-needed joy and balance to my sedentary work at a computer. I work remotely with flexible hours, so I am able to accommodate specific feeding times, frequent check-ins, and potty breaks. As a proud cat owner, I'm very observant and knowledgeable about cat behavior and body language. I provide calm and gentle care that helps even the most timid cats feel secure and safe in their own space. I am skilled with trimming nails and brushing, and am happy to provide those services upon request, depending on your cat's tolerance. I also have several years of experience managing overnight house sits and walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including Greyhounds, Pit Bulls, and Australian Shepherds. I am able to care for and manage a wide range of dog energy levels. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs a brisk walk or is an elderly senior who requires a slow, gentle pace and careful supervision, I’ve got them covered. I'm currently working a fully remote, part-time job so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to offer drop-in visits any day of the week, any time of day between 8am and 8pm. I offer overnight visits for up to 3 consecutive nights. Home visits and overnights: I double-check that all doors are securely locked after every visit, bring in mail, and ensure your home was well-maintained during my stay. Leash Safety & Walking: On walks, safety is non-negotiable. I use a secure grip, stay highly observant of our surroundings, and never allow interaction with unknown dogs or people on the street unless you give me permission. Whether handling a strong, high-energy breed, or a sensitive, anxious dog, I maintain total focus and connection with your dog. Cat Care: For drop-ins, I make sure to provide for all your cat's needs including changing water, feeding, scooping litter, and playtime, grooming, and cuddles as requested. I also take time to read your cat's body language—if they want play and interaction, I'm fully present; if they prefer a calm presence from a distance, I respect their boundaries. I'm experienced with brushing and cleaning ears, so I am happy to offer that upon request, depending on your cat's temperament and needs. Updates: You will receive detailed updates and photos during every visit and at regular intervals during overnight stays.

“Emma dropped in to care for our cat while we were on vacation. I loved receiving photos and notes from her visits. We returned to a happy, healthy kitty!”

“Dominique helped me a lot by caring for my dog while I was away. He was punctual and always provided updates. Will definitely be my go to dog sitter!”

Jamario L.

“McKenna was amazing with Goose and Roo! We came back to tired, content puppies. McKenna was great with sending regular updates and pictures. We definitely plan to have her watch the dogs again next time we’re out of town!”

“Iryna is an 11/10 cat-sitter and animal-sitter, and went above and beyond my expectations. Iryna was extremely responsive and communicated very well with us. She left wonderfully detailed report cards after her visits, and took lots of funny photos and thoughtful videos of our cat, which were a considerable source of comfort to us while we were away from our pet. Our cat is shy and tends to be wary of new people, but Iryna is clearly extremely experienced with animals and knew just how to engage with our cat, which was evident to me even on her first “introductory” visit. I could read from photos and videos how quickly our cat came to trust and enjoy Iryna’s attention. We were gone for almost ten days, and when we returned our cat was in a good mood, playful, and showed no signs of stress. To me, this shows how well she was cared for while we were away. I can’t recommend Iryna as an animal-sitter enough, and look forward to hiring her again in future.”

“Guiselle was super communicative throughout. My cat was being a little stinker, but I really appreciated how helpful and understanding she was handling that difficult issue during the drop-ins!”

Sarah M.

“Spencer & Julia took great care of my cat and provided a ton of photos during their time with him! They offered plenty of pets, treats, and cuddles and gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation!”

“Robert was amazing as usual to my sweet Coco. He is always super attentive and caring to our little 5 pound dog. Thank you for everything you do!”

Laura C.

“Thank you so much for accommodating my last minute request during the holidays!! I’m so relieved whiskey was in good hands while I was out of town. Definitely will be reaching out in the future whenever I go away :)”

Erin C.

“Shannon was an amazing choice for a puppy visit! She kindly took care of my high energy 10 week old puppy for 30 min when I had to go to the office. She was very responsive and followed all instructions. Wrigley was lucky to have her help!”

Ann D.

“Rachel was great with my cat! Felix has some special eating instructions and she made sure to follow them perfectly. Great communication, great updates and pics, and Felix loved her! Thanks, Rachel!”

Sarah W.

“Daniel was responsive, professional, and great with our dog who can be somewhat shy. He braved the triple digit temperatures to ensure she was getting out for bathroom breaks. Highly recommend!”

James P.

“My cat Hannah was well taken care of and in good hands while I was away! Lisa gave great drop-in visits and left Rover cards to keep me updated. Thanks for a reliable service!”

Bryce J.

“Hannah was awesome! She cleaned after my senior kitties so well and also gave me updates on how well they were eating (which I worry a lot about as they are elderly and just not interested in eating as much). I really appreciated the detailed update notes. Thanks so much, Hannah!”

January K.

“Olga did a great job! So many cute pictures and I felt at ease knowing everyone was well taken care of! Will certainly recommend and use her again!”

Jordan R.

“Kat did an amazing job taking care of my cat! She was easy to communicate with and provided very thorough updates. I felt very comfortable leaving my cat in her care and would highly recommend her.”

Alexandra G.

“We love Anne! She takes the best care of our puppy every week, and we trust her to always let us know how our little girl is doing and if there are any issues. She took care of her the week after her spay and was so gentle and sweet with her. She’s the best!”
