Cat Sitting McCarthys Corner

“Mary is amazing! We have kittens that are not socialized and hide whenever anyone comes to the house. Mary was able to gain their trust so that she would see them and assure us that our kitties were doing well. Will definitely book Mary for future trips!”

About: I’ve been working with pets ever since I was 12 walking them feeding them and taking care of them. I love taking care of pets no matter if it’s cats or dogs I love them all. I am currently working part-time and also a part-time student but I love being outside and going on walks with dogs and taking care of cats just by stopping. I have a pretty decent backyard that is fully gated off and I have two amazing and playful dogs yo-yo and Scooby. They are the cutest dogs ever and another small little furball named Cleo and she is just so adorable.

“Stephanie was out of this world amazing. This is the longest I left our shy little kitty & I was super nervous. I asked for frequent updates & Stephanie absolutely delivered. She got in lots of play time, snuggles & treats but made sure to not force anything on our girl. Stephanie was so understanding, patient and kind and really helped us to be able to relax on our vacation. I couldn’t be happier or more grateful we booked her. Thanks Stephanie!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life until recently moving away from my childhood home and adopting 2 pigeons. Apart from caring for my own dogs, I've dogsat first neighbors and friends for over a decade. My experience ranges from tiny puppies to dogs the size of a small pony. I've even cared for seniors with incontinence issues, special diets and food-prep needs, and medications. Currently, I get my dog fix by walking dogs for the FXBG SPCA! I work a full-time 9-5 as a hybrid employee and care for my 2 pet pigeons. I'm a runner and love hiking, so I can handle high-energy pets. Most importantly, I just miss hanging out with my family's dogs back in Northern VA, so I'd love to hang out with yours! Because of my pet pigeons, I don't offer services at my own home. For drop in visits and walks with dogs, I always keep them leashed when on public property. I grew up with a fenced backyard wherein my dogs would run free, but I never took them out of the house without a leash.

“Booked for once daily house visits to check in on my cat- Bianca made booking and communication very easy. It’s clear she and Nicholas are very professional and experienced. She followed all of my instructions, provided detailed updates, and photos of my car while I was away. When I returned home my cat was very comfortable and content. As a pet owner and an experienced veterinary technician I would recommend this duo to watch after your pets.”

About: I’ve had over 8yrs in experience caring for family/friends companions. Dogs bring me so much joy! They can be so funny and attentive. I have experience with puppies-young adults. I am NOT shy to seniors or dogs with extra needs, that’s just extra love to give! I love hikes/runs and I love sitting on the couch all the same. Practicing more structured walks for the safety of your babies and myself. All dogs safe and welcomed! Currently a gym junkie, unemployed, and online masters student with plenty of free time. DoorDash and InstaCart are the only uses of time. Very flexible and accommodating. No other obligations. Always use slow/cautious approaches. Respecting their space(s). Following strict rules and suggestions. Making sure their necessities are replenished and/or cared for. Checking overall health and hygiene, taking any notes necessary for owners, and offering all the support needed for the furry friends.

“We had such a great experience! 😊 She took wonderful care of our cats while we were away, making sure their dry food stayed filled, giving them fresh water daily, and even keeping up with their wet food routine. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Everything was clean, organized, and our cats seemed happy and relaxed when we got home (which says a lot!). Communication was great too, we really appreciated the updates. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again! 🐾”

About: I've loved cats since I got my first kitten at 7 years old. I have experience caring for cats throughout all stages of their Lifespan. My 4 year old cat needs friends to play with!

We all love to hang out in the yard and go for walks in the neighborhood

About: Hi! I’m Becca, a veterinary assistant with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, sizes, and medical needs. I currently offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, providing personalized care so your pets can stay comfortable and relaxed in their own home while you’re away. During visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, enrichment, medication administration (when needed), and plenty of love and attention. Every pet has a unique personality, so I tailor my care to match their routine and individual needs. My experience working in veterinary medicine has given me the knowledge and confidence to care for healthy pets as well as seniors, puppies and kittens, anxious pets, and those requiring medications or special care. I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or health and know when something may require prompt veterinary attention. I’ve also cared for multiple-pet households and understand the importance of keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. I’m currently a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule. I do my best to work around my classes and am available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. Whether you need occasional care or a consistent sitter, I’ll do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I take the time to learn about their personality, favorite activities, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions before every booking. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so I’ll send regular updates and photos throughout each visit to give you peace of mind. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll provide reliable, compassionate care so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands.

“Mariah was wonderful with our fur family. She spent time with everyone and sent pictures of happy pups/cats to me daily. I could tell the dogs were happy since they kept bringing her gifts of everything they found on the floor. Even the cats who don't trust most people came out of hiding for her. I will definitely ask Mariah to sit again.”

About: I have had animals all my life, and quite the variety!!! I am experienced in caring for cats, dogs, rabbits, reptiles, spiders, ferrets, etc! I have some horse experience as well, although I'm a little rusty, however, if you gave me a list I'd be sure to figure it out! I'm not afraid to ask questions, and I'm always making sure your furry friend(s) are handled with only the best care! I am very patient and observant, and I always try to stay calm in stressful situations. Currently I have open availability! I am spending my days with my babies and I am happy to take on some new furry friends to help out with! No worries if it's last minute, feel free to contact me and maybe we can work something out! I live in a nice neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks to walk on! I plan on taking your pup on plenty of walks outside, or maybe even to a near by dog park if permitted!!! When going outside for walks or to a park, I am always very aware of my surroundings. I always will make sure there is a limitless amount of water offered as well.
