About: Lisa and I work from home, so we will take care of your pup with the same love and care we treat our own Blue Caring for our dog is like taking care of our own, love and attention throughout the entire day, play, walks, the same way will care for your fur baby. Your dog will feel right at home here. We have a spacious house with plenty of room to roam, including a few quiet rooms perfect for naps or solo time if your pup prefers their own space. Our backyard is fully fenced, so there’s room to play safely outside. We live with our sweet 7-year-old dog, Blue, who’s friendly and calm with other dogs. My partner Lisa and I both work from home, so your dog will never be left alone—we’re around all day for walks, playtime, and cuddles. We know how important it is for dogs to feel safe, loved, and part of the pack while you’re away, and that’s exactly what we aim to provide.

About: I’ve always been around pets since childhood. Currently have a 13 yr old Shitzu Bella since birth. I work from home so your fur baby will have company. Bella is super calm and does not mind company. I’m available for boarding during the week and most weekends. I work from home Monday- Friday so your fur baby will have company and there needs will be met in a timely manner. I live in a condo but the surrounding area is great for walks and there is grassy areas as well. My community has many pet owners.

“Fiona was great and I’m glad she was able to take Jäger when my request was made a little last minute. Jäger is high energy and was exhausted when we got back home which is amazing. He’s usually a little high energy in his first day somewhere new and i feel he was in great hands! I’ll definitely use Fiona again!”

“We had a great experience with HK. You can tell when you meet her she is kind and loves animals. She sent a few updates, pictures and videos of Lando having a great time running and playing with other dogs which allowed me to have a good time on my dinner date. I highly recommend HK for all your doggie day care needs”

“Look no further! This is a wonderful and completely dependable couple! I realized quickly that Zuri would feel right at home with Katherine and Brian and she is. Also there have been times that my job hours were unpredictable but K&B didn’t skip a beat and stepped right up to help. Thank you both so much ❤️”

“Megan is SO great. Penny was nervous trying a new sitter but Megan met us in advance for a meet and greet, explained how things work so we all felt comfortable. On the day of the daycare, Megan sent us updates and gave Penny several walks (which she always loves!) We are excited to book Megan again!”

About: Hello! I have been the caretaker of my family’s 15 year old Boston terrier/Jack Russel terrier until moving to Virginia about a month ago. I also used to see my fiancé’s mom’s 3 cats on a near daily basis. Since moving up here, I have been really missing spending time with a furry friend! Looking forward to having more time surrounded by the cutest companions! I currently work remote for an AI Tech start up (yes buzzword city!). I have the luxury of lots of free time throughout the day perfect for a good dog walk or check-in! I often have my weekly schedule in stone about a week in advance. I live in an apartment with a dog walk path and with 0.2 miles of the W&OD trail! Our complex also has a dog washing station and lots of treats. I am happy to spend the day with your pooch at my apartment or potentially take calls from your home if you need a day sitter.

“Courtney is truly the BEST! She watched our 5-month-old puppy Leo while I was at work, and I couldn’t have asked for a more loving, reliable sitter. Every day, she gave him so much attention, playtime, and cuddles—he was literally wagging his whole body every time she showed up! 🐶💛 As a puppy, Leo can be a bit of a handful, but Courtney was so patient and sweet with him. She kept him on his routine, sent me the cutest updates, and made my workdays so much less stressful knowing he was in such good hands. I’d come home to a happy, tired, and very loved little pup 🥹 I feel so lucky to have found someone who truly cares. Thank you, Courtney, for treating Leo like your own! I am so grateful for you 🐾✨”

About: I am deeply committed to providing the best possible care for pets under my watch. This means not only fulfilling their basic needs like feeding and exercise but also ensuring they feel loved, safe, and comfortable in my care. In summary, my combination of experience, specialized skills in training puppies and caring for senior pets, dedication to high-quality care, and strong focus on client satisfaction makes me a standout choice as a pet sitter. Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine is a priority for me, as it requires consistency and attention to detail to ensure the well-being of the pets under my care. Here’s how I typically integrate pet care into my schedule: Daily Routine Morning Routine: I start my day by feeding the pets and providing fresh water. This is followed by morning exercise or playtime, tailored to the pet's needs and energy levels. Midday Check-ins: If needed, especially for puppies or senior pets, I schedule midday visits to provide bathroom breaks, meals, medication if required, and some companionship or playtime. Afternoon Activities: In the afternoon, I engage the pets in activities that stimulate them mentally and physically, such as training sessions, interactive play, or walks. Evening Routine: I ensure pets have their evening meal on time and another round of exercise or play to wind down their day. For senior pets, this may include gentle activities to keep them comfortable and relaxed. Bedtime Routine: Before bedtime, I make sure pets are settled, comfortable, and have everything they need for a good night's rest. Caring for pets in my home involves creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment that meets their physical, emotional, and social needs. Here’s how I ensure a high standard of care: 1. Safety and Comfort 2. Daily Routine 3. Socialization and Interaction 4. Health and Hygiene 5. Communication with Owners 6. Emergency Preparedness

About: Coming soon my 3 furry Colombians 🐕‍🦺❤️🐾... Meanwhile, your faithful friend is in my hands! I am a dog lover with a heart divided between two countries: while I hope I can bring my three furry children from Colombia (a Pitbull full of energy and two loving Cockers), I want to take care of yours as if it were mine. - 🐾 **I know what 'misunderstood' races need**: Pitbulls deserve respect and patience, not stereotypes. The Cockers, attention and delicacy. - 🦴 **I adapt the care to his character**: Not all dogs are the same, and I learned that with mine! - ❤️ **I miss my dogs, but that makes me give more love to yours**." * When I take care of your dog, I don't just follow instructions: ✅ **Real experience** with strong and sensitive breeds. ✅ **Safe rides** for Pitbulls (or soft games for elderly Cockers). ✅ **Updated in signs of canine stress** (the Cockers are masters in that!). ✅ **Flexible and communicative**: I will send you photos and updates, because I know what it's like to be away from your pet." * Is your furry shy, hyperactive or a little study? I understand your language perfectly! For now, my three dogs are far away, but that only means that I will have more space in my heart (and in my agenda) to pampers yours I adapt my routine to give your pet the rhythm it needs: intense walks for the strong like my Pitbull, naps and pampering for the delicate like my Cockers, and always with updates that show you their day as if you were here!" ** My day is moulded to your dog: controlled energy for strong, patience for sensitive, and photos that steal a smile from you." * I offer personalised and 100% safe care in MY HOME, where your pet will receive:** 🏡 **An adapted space**: Separate areas for active dogs (like my Pitbull) and quiet areas for the most sensitive (like my Cockers). 🐕 **Experience with 'difficult' breeds**: I know how to manage strong energy and anxiety with patience and proven techniques. - 📲 **Total transparency**: I send photos, videos and daily reports so you can see how happy your furry is. - ❤️ **Seasonal love**: While I wait for my 3 dogs (who are in Colombia), your pet will be my absolute priority." **Why in my house? ** "I prefer to care in a controlled environment, where everything is prepared for safety and comfort, no surprises!" _.

About: Hello from the mother, daughter, and dad team! Apart from the necessary cuddles, activity, and attention we offer, all and any instructions will be followed to a t. My parents and I have been providing care to beloved pets for a little over 13 years and never get tired of it! Due to the nature of my job (work from home) and my parents are retired, so, your pooch or kitty will always be within our sight and well accompanied. We are fit individuals that live close to many parks and trails, free of traffic. We look forward to meeting your furry companion and taking the best care of them, as if they were our own. I work from home and throughout the day I have dedicated time set aside to go on walks, play with, love on, and take care of your babies! And as mentioned, my parents are retired and have plenty of free time throughout the week. We are attentive to the pets needs and safety. We follow your close instructions on what is best to do, what to avoid, what they can and can’t eat. And of course, are completely transparent about how your pet is doing.

About: A grew up in the family that treated dogs as extended family. I have dog sat many times through Rover but I am just now getting back into it after I adopted my 20 lb dachshund/min pin/pug mix named Buffy. She loves other dogs just like me, especially ones her size! But it is always good to meet beforehand because you never know how two dogs will vibe. Feel free to reach out and set something up! Every day I take my dog for walks and to the park sometimes. I’m am a recent graduate, job hunting so there’s lots of flexibility. I take Buffy out morning, noon, afternoon, and night. There’s several parks very close! No yard but I make up for it in long walks and lots of play. Dogs in my home are welcome on the furniture and encouraged to cuddle. Let me know if it’s different at your home, I respect house rules!

About: I have taken care of many dogs, from wily hunting dogs to gentle doodles. Every dog has their own personality and it is important to understand that. I love training dogs and understand what they need to be safe. I am a early riser and love a walk first thing in the morning. I walk in a local park almost everyday. I would love a dog to join me in this. I have a love for dogs and enjoy giving them freedom but their safety is very important. I have a mostly fenced in yard (it’s having some work done too it) and it’s very safe to play in. I love going for walks and feel that exercise and brain stimulation are the best things to keeping a fur friend happy.
