Caring, safe, and happy home for 🐕
Pet care experience
Only One Dog at a Time in a Safe, Clean, and Loving Pet-Friendly Home in Ashburn at a Reasonable Price! I accept only one household's dog(s) at a time, ensuring your pet gets all the attention they deserve. Your pup will feel right at home with a fenced yard, easy access to a spacious deck, and plenty of playtime in a clean, dog-friendly environment! Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, birds, and even farm animals at my grandparents' farm, I've always had a deep connection to animals. Now, working from home, I’m recreating that same joyful, pet-filled environment for my kids, sharing the love of animals with them. While I currently only care for dogs, I offer a loving and clean space where your dog will get lots of attention, including plenty of affection from my kids (who absolutely adore dogs!). My dog, Pippin, would love the company of another dog. I prefer dogs who don’t chew on things, as I have young kids who enjoy playing with toys. I also ask that dogs be fully potty trained, as maintaining a clean environment is important for everyone’s comfort. I understand that some dogs experience anxiety, and I ensure they leave happy and return even happier.
Reviews
Incredible experience! Smitha couldn't be a better pet-sitter!! Communicative, understanding, and loving towards our dog. She understood all his needs, medicine, etc. and was very responsive. He clearly had a blast with her and her family, and was treated so well. Will absolutely book with her again!
Griffin had a great time with Smitha. She was very quick and easy to communicate with and kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the day.
Bella seemed to have enjoyed her stay. She’s resting now. She was well cared for.
Smitha was wonderful with my dog Muffin! She provided great care, ensuring Muffin was happy and comfortable throughout his stay. I really appreciated the regular updates with pictures and videos, giving me peace of mind. Grateful for her professionalism and kindness and highly recommend Smitha for any pet sitting needs! Thanks Smitha!

To ensure the best care for your pet, please provide some important details ahead of time when you send request: How does your pet behave during walks? Does your pet eat slow or fast? Are they food-motivated? Do they need encouragement to eat? Are they house and potty-trained? Does your dog tend to mark inside the house or use pee-pads? What are their barking tendencies? Do they chew on things or grab items? Are they friendly with other dogs and kids? Are they up to date on vaccinations? Any health concerns or sicknesses I should be aware of? This helps me tailor my care approach to meet your pet’s unique needs and ensure a comfortable environment.

Availability
As someone who works from home and has my own dog, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Since I only take one dog from another household at a time, it’s easy to give both dogs the attention they need. My flexible schedule allows me to focus on their care, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and well-cared for while their owners are away.
