Loving Care for Your Pawsome Pals!
Pet care experience
As an avid dog lover who cherishes the joy and companionship that our furry friends bring into our lives, I have dedicated myself to offering an unparalleled dog-sitting experience that stands out in the heart of Arlington, VA. My name is Jolie, and my unique approach to dog sitting is deeply rooted in my passion, experience, and the warm, loving environment that both my fiancé and I create for your dogs. What sets me apart from others? Here’s a glimpse: Tailored Care for Every Pooch: I believe that every dog deserves personalized care. Working from home full-time allows me to understand and cater to the individual needs of your dog, whether it's a preference for kibble or wet food, managing their medication, or adjusting our activities to suit their energy levels. Your dog’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities. Dedicated Companion: I limit my care to no more than 2 or 3 dogs at a time. This ensures that each dog receives the attention and love they would get in their own home, maintaining their usual schedule as closely as possible. It's not just about sitting; it's about creating a home away from home. Experience & Love in Abundance: Having watched over 50 dogs in 2023 alone, my decade-long journey in dog care is a testament to my love and dedication. Residing in a dog-friendly area, I am surrounded by opportunities to enrich your dog's stay with visits to dog parks and play dates, ensuring a joyful and sociable experience. Double the Love: When my fiancé returns home from work, your dog will enjoy double the attention and playtime. As dog lovers, we both cherish these moments, giving your furry friend an extra dose of love and engagement. Communication is Key: I pride myself on being super communicative, providing you with plenty of high-quality videos and pictures throughout their stay. You'll feel connected and reassured, knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well-cared for. Choosing me as your dog sitter means entrusting your beloved pet to someone who will treat them like their own. In Arlington, VA, I offer a loving, attentive, and customized dog-sitting service that goes beyond the basics, ensuring your dog’s stay is as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. Let me be the one to offer your dog a second home where they are loved, cared for, and understood. DOGGIE DAYCARE “Doggie Daycare” is 7-11 hours a day, dropping off from 7 to 9 am and picking up from 4 to 6 pm. Extending beyond or before those time frames incurs an “extended hours” fee set by Rover. Need a sitter for less than 7 hours a day? Inquire about a potential adjusted hourly rate.
Reviews
Lei is great with my dog, Winnie! She sends lots of pictures and makes me feel comfortable leaving my pup with her while I’m traveling. Winnie is always so excited to see Lei!
This was our first booking with Lei and she took great care of our fur baby! She was very prompt with messages and sent multiple photos throughout the stay!
The best!! My dog adores staying with Jolie and we always get happy pictures!
I can’t say enough how thankful I am for Lei and the care she provided for our puppy on short notice! I received frequent adorable update photos, and our boy looked like he was having the time of his life! It can be difficult to find care for a young puppy, and I was very nervous to trust someone with our baby. She exceeded all expectations, and I know our boy would be thrilled to stay with her again!

A typical day
As a dedicated and enthusiastic dog sitter, I love engaging dogs in a variety of fun and stimulating activities to ensure they have an enjoyable time while staying with me. Here are some of the activities I typically engage in with the dogs I watch: 1. Walks in nature: I enjoy taking dogs for walks in local parks, nature trails, or along waterfront paths. These scenic spots not only provide ample opportunities for exercise and exploration but also help your dog connect with nature and stay mentally stimulated. Dog park visits: If your dog is sociable and enjoys playing with other dogs, I love taking them to nearby dog parks. This allows them to interact with other pups, burn off energy, and practice their social skills in a safe and controlled environment. 2. Interactive games: I engage dogs in various interactive games, such as fetch, tug-of-war, and hide-and-seek, to keep them entertained and mentally challenged. These games also help strengthen our bond and improve communication between us. 3. Obedience training: If you're working on training your dog or reinforcing good behavior, I can incorporate obedience training and positive reinforcement techniques into our daily activities. This not only helps your dog learn new skills but also provides mental stimulation and a sense of accomplishment. 4. Relaxation and cuddle time: After a day full of fun and adventure, I make sure to spend some downtime with your dog, giving them gentle pets and cuddles. This helps them feel loved and secure while they're away from their family. I am always open to discovering new places to go on walks and exploring different dog-friendly locations in the area. By providing a variety of engaging and enjoyable activities for the dogs I watch, I ensure they stay happy, healthy, and well-rounded during their time with me.
