Pet care experience

Service Safety Loving Care 🐾

Pet care is my life! I’ve had the pleasure of working with hundreds if not thousands of animals and have experienced just about every scenario a sitter could encounter. Rover is the best job in the world, I’ve been working full time for 7 years and I’m looking forward to the next 77! I offer seven day availability in any weather condition and evening services later than typical pet care professionals. I’m also a Herndon native and a nature lover as well so I know all the best places to walk! Thank you so much for your consideration! Please review periodically for updates and availability notices. Looking forward to working with you and your beloved animal companion! Ask me about “Pawsitivity” Seminars, Yard Clean Up, Pet Taxi, Bathing, Basic Grooming, Teeth Brushing, Nail Clipping, and Group or Solo River Adventure Expeditions! 🐾

Safety, trust & environment

SAFETY I will provide the perfect experience no matter your pet’s size, breed, age, or temperament. I’m very easy-going and can likely accommodate just about any behavior or routine to ensure complete satisfaction. Safety is absolutely paramount; your peace of mind along with your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority. I’m attentive, predictive, patient, protective, gentle, and very hands-on. I can expertly interpret body language and can effectively communicate and condition desired behavior. I keep emergency gear with me on every walk and I drive an AWD SUV so I’ll make it to your home or vet no matter the condition! Good help is hard to find but I am also continuously developing a network of trusted emergency backup contacts in cases of severe illness or injury, let me know if you might be up to the task and we can discuss an ongoing discount! Please communicate via text whenever possible as I am almost always with a client trying to avoid distractions or driving to them, I’ll get back to you ASAP! 🐾

Nice guy. But, doesn’t scoop litter good enough. Skims the top doesn’t get all waste in the box. Last two times I used him, full litter boxes when I got home and cat pee outside the box. Would not recommend for those with cats

Skylar is so great. He spends time with the dogs, provides photos and updates, and communicates promptly. Have used him a couple of times and will do so again.

Skylar has been amazing with our cats. He’s taken care of them several times, including during the busy holiday season, and always shows so much patience, care, and genuine love for them. We feel completely at ease knowing our cats are in such good hands. Highly recommend Skylar! Thank you, Skylar—we truly appreciate your help always!

Skylar did an incredible job taking care of our dogs. He gave them extra love and attention, and you could see by the pictures just how comfortable they were with Skylar. We will definitely hire Skylar again! Thank you!

Schedule

SCHEDULE I’ll happily take any outbound request from 11am to 9pm. My one caveat; I keep my days jammed packed with regular clients so I’ll need a fair amount of flexibility per arrival times - if you could please give me about a 2 hour window I’ll find time to come between services! I can provide whatever enrichment your pet may enjoy, make sure they are good on necessities, and can perform most medication administration. If you are traveling I’d love to housesit for you! Please consider with the high volume of clientele my availability for palling around with the pups is mostly limited to mornings and evenings. Any downtime I have will be spent with your animal and at least one midday potty break will be included in the nightly rate. If your animal is exceptionally well-behaved and doesn’t necessarily need me to sleep over let me know at time of booking and I’ll adjust the rate to $99 🐾

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Skylar can host up to 20 drop-ins per day
Please let me know an ideal potty schedule, if and how your animal might take medication, emergency contact and vet information, bite history or other quirks, and how they have behaved in your absence in the past; this will help me prepare the best service I can provide!
