Availability

I live in Arlington, Virginia and I have a lot of free time on my hands before/after work. However, I am also able to work remotely and go into the office only when I have the occasional meeting, with every evening being free. What could be better than helping care for someone else’s pets when they need a hand?

Safety, trust & environment

I’m responsible, attentive, and take pet safety seriously. I make an effort to understand each pet’s individual needs and always follow any instructions or guidelines you provide. Keeping pets in a safe, secure environment is really important to me, and I stay aware of my surroundings and any potential hazards. I’m also good at noticing signs of stress or discomfort and addressing them right away. I keep track of things like feeding, water intake, exercise, and anything else important so your pet stays healthy and comfortable while in my care. Overall, I’m very detail-oriented and committed to making sure your pets are safe and well cared for.

A typical day

Spending time with pets is honestly one of my favorite parts of pet sitting. I’m outgoing and playful, and I love keeping pets engaged with activities they enjoy, whether that’s playing fetch, going for walks, or simple games like hide-and-seek. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and interaction so they don’t feel bored or lonely. I enjoy taking photos and short updates along the way so you can see how much fun your pet is having and feel at ease while you’re away.

Pet care experience

I’ve always loved being around animals, and I take pet care seriously. I’m dependable and attentive, and I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and comfortable while their owners are away. I pay close attention to their behavior and routines, so I can catch if something seems off. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, and I do my best to make that easier by treating them with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

Tim took the best care of our girl Zoey. He sent us constant updates and pictures and left our house clean and tidy. We came home to a happy and goofy girl. We will definitely ask Tim to watch Zoey again!

Timmy was awesome! He was super flexible, easygoing, and communicative with daily pics and updates. He watched my dog at the start and end of a long trip, and when my dog had some separation anxiety the last couple of days, Timmy handled it incredibly well and went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of. Since my last sitter moved, it’s been hard finding someone I trust (my dog can be difficult sometimes), so it was such a relief to relax on vacation knowing my dog was in great hands. I would absolutely book with him again!

Timothy was fantastic! We had a last-minute cancellation with our previous sitter, and Timothy was incredibly flexible and accommodating. He was able to meet our dog just a day after we first spoke and jumped right into house sitting the very same evening. He handled the drop-in and the full-day sitting perfectly—highly recommend him for anyone needing a reliable and adaptable sitter!

Riggs had the best day with his new friend Timothy! I was going to be away from home for about 14 hours on a Saturday and didn’t want him to have to go to boarding for multiple days if he didn’t have to. Timothy took the time to ask what Riggs enjoys, and it turned out they both love being outside—m, so it was a perfect match. On a beautiful day, he took Riggs on a hike in the morning, and later brought him to see the cherry blossoms and have a picnic on the Mall. I loved knowing Riggs was out enjoying the fresh air, the nice weather, and having such a fun, active day instead of being cooped up inside. When I got back, he was happy, tired, and clearly had the best time. I’m so grateful and would absolutely book with Timothy again!
