House Sitting in Mount Vernon

“Jessica is absolutely amazing! She took care of my two dogs while I attended an event, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Both of my dogs are very clingy and one has had a couple health problems the last month, which makes finding the right person to watch them really difficult. Knowing she’s a veterinary nurse gave me so much peace of mind, and she went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, healthy, and comfortable the entire time. She also was able to make it to us in a snow storm and I am so so grateful for that. She sent me so many photos of them and it was really nice to not have to worry about them. When I came home, both dogs were calm, happy, and clearly well looked after. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave them, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like their own and has the experience to handle even medically complex animals, Jessica is the best!”

“Greyson was great with our dogs! He came for a visit ahead of time and took lots of notes and asked great questions. I felt very comfortable leaving them and the house in his care. Our dogs have different feeding instructions and one usually will not eat if we leave. Greyson was able to follow the instructions easily and said that our anxious dog did not skip a meal - so I could tell my dog was comfortable with him. He sent several pictures and was very responsive if I texted to check in. He left the house very tidy. I definitely recommend him and will use him again.”

“Amber does a fantastic job watching Archie. She is punctual, communicates well, and has very good intuition about what is best for him. The weather has been very hot and she has appropriately gotten him time outside when able, then made him come inside before he gets too warm. I highly recommend booking her!”

About: Hi! I’m a 30-year-old nurse and proud beagle mom to my sweet 5-year-old girl. As someone who works long shifts in healthcare, I truly understand how important it is to have reliable, loving care for your pets when life gets busy. That’s why I’m offering drop-in visits for pets in the nearby area, helping give fellow pet parents peace of mind. My schedule can vary, so I kindly ask for 1–2 weeks’ notice to coordinate visits around my work shifts. I’m also open to overnight house sitting depending on availability—we can chat to see what works best! On my days off, I love getting outside and would be happy to take your pup for a walk on a nearby trail—possibly even alongside my own friendly beagle, if you’re comfortable with that. She’s great with other dogs and would love the company! Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a relaxing walk, or some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to help care for them like one of my own. my schedule changes weekly, so my availability is variable. I’m primarily available for drop-in visits close to home on my days off, and I kindly ask for 1 to 2 weeks’ advance notice whenever possible to help me plan ahead. I’m open to overnight stays after building trust and familiarity with clients, but those will depend on my work schedule. I also occasionally travel, so consistent communication is appreciated for long term planning. I do not provide in-home boarding or care at my own home, but I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own environment. I’ll follow your instructions closely to maintain their routine. Safety and trust are very important to me, and I’m always respectful of your space and your pet’s needs.

“Abby was outstanding for watching our high energy, high maintenance goldendoodle. She came to meet him before the stay and was very intentional to communicate and keep me informed on how he was doing and sent plenty of photos while we were away. Our house was left in great condition, just as we left it and Dunkin was well cared for. We will definitely use Abby again! Thank you for taking care of our boy!!”

About: I have cared for and been around dogs throughout my whole life. I have always had a passion for animals! I love to run and play with dogs that have as much energy as I do or even just hangout on the couch and enjoy a relaxing day. I want to meet all of your pets needs even in last minute circumstances so that their humans can enjoy a stress free experience! Traveling and unexpected situations can be difficult and I want to make sure your pet is comfortable. I’m familiar with caring for senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with special needs. I currently make my own work schedule and have extremely flexible days. I’m always willing to adjust when needed. I love all sizes and breeds so I can accommodate any energy level as well I have a very loving and super friendly puppy of my own who would love to keep your pet company! We go for lots of walks throughout the day and get lots of time outside. I have cats as well that are very friendly with dogs but they can also be kept away in their own space if need be!

“SyneneMaria was a delight from the moment she walked in the door to meet Bunter and learn how to administer his 3x daily eye drop. She was met by my very excited 68 lb goldendoodle. She was unfazed by his size and activity and made friends with him immediately. After being warned by Delta that my flight might be cancelled due to the tropical storm, I contacted SyneneMaria to see if she could extend her stay if necessary; she readily agreed. As it turned out the flight was only delayed an hour but it was good to know she would have been able to continue caring for Bunter. I was away for a 3 day weekend and came back to a happy dog. I would, without hesitation, book SyneneMaria again should the need arise.”

“Adeline was absolutely amazing with my two pups! Had a very last minute booking and she not only was willing to accommodate my needs but went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were cared for, comfortable, and happy. She also gave great updates throughout the stay. I couldn’t recommend her enough for any pet needs. Thank you again!!!”

“We needed a somewhat last minute sitter for our pups (in home) and Michelle was happy to help out! She was absolutely wonderful with our pups. She followed their routines and gave them lots of love which made me feel so reassured when we were away. She also communicated consistently and provided lots of pics of the pups. I will definitely reach out to her again if we need a sitter in the future!”

About: From Rottweiler to Boston Terriers, I grew up and have experience with dogs both large and small. I absolutely LOVE being outside (maybe as much as your doggy!) and would enjoy going on a hike together! Nurture in nature. Get out and play, and enjoy the day! I know lots of trails and spots your companion would love! Or we can chill at my house, I've got a fenced in yard and a super comfy couch (come on, let's watch a movie together)! Or maybe your pooch is a homebody? We can hang out on your couch too! Upfront and honest, I have very little experience with cats. I can give food and water. As for creepy crawly reptiles and amphibians, sorry.. I'm not the right fit for ya! I've got years of canine experience and basic common sense. I strive provide to worry-free care. Your best friend deserves a great day to relax and enjoy. My goal is to create a trust and bond between myself, pet, and owner. Over time, being a reliable friend to call in a time of need. I bake doggie treats, and I like to share. Each new client will receive a FREE bag of homemade treats! I am pretty flexible. I am a stay at home mom/freelance writer/independent delivery driver. My son may have to accompany on some trips, but for the most part, I'm available 24/7. I've got a medium sized fenced in yard. Two sweet little boston terriers who love to play BALL! I live on a quiet dead end street, very safe for dogs.

“Awesome even went on an extended walk, and when I got stuck for longer than expected she had no problem staying longer. Thanks so much.”

“Alyssa is an exceptional dog sitter and exceeded my expectations. My German Shepherd, Ava, is highly independent and energetic with borderline diva tendencies. Alyssa had my girl for a week while I was hiking in the Black Hills. From her pics and communication, I could see that Ava was in good hands. Alyssa treated my Ava and my home as if it was her own—I’m so glad I found her! I will continue to use Alyssa and recommend her highly.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of different dogs, senior dogs who need extra care, puppies who need basic training and hours of playing, and calm dogs who wanna watch the evening news with you, I will treat your dog like they’re my own and I’m confident in my ability to treat your pet in the special ways they need. I’m currently working two days a week, which means I am very flexible with pet care, and would love to do what I can to help my community! I have a 6 month old puppy who’s never met a stranger, he loves to play and we’ll make sure they get their energy out. Your pet will be allowed on furniture and treated as my own.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with two chihuahuas and a beagle. I now have two German shepherds who are the complete opposite of each other. I have great passion for the welfare of animals. I am currently the President of the Animal Legal Defense Fund (student org) at my law school. I love to care for people’s pets as if they were mine while my classes allow. I am currently on my last semester of law school. I’m commuting this semester for about an hour drive most days. This semester I am a part time student, so I’m available as my commute and classes allow. I like to interact and play with your active pet or just chill out with your calm pet it. It all depends on what your pets needs are.

“Ashley was awesome! She did a meet and greet and took plenty of notes. She was very communicative during our trip and sent photos and went above and beyond for our pets! We will definitely rebook her!”

“Excellent pet sitter. Dogs really enjoyed her. She had a very calming effect on them.”

“Very communicative and did everything perfectly!”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and have watched over more dogs than can count. I also have three dogs of my own at home and one dog I take care of full time I am a full time college student and can be gone for a few hours for classes during the day, but I am home often other than school and the gym, so I am able to provide adequate attention for your fur baby! I currently don’t have a roommate, so it is just my fur baby Oreo, a 6 year old Boston Terrier, and myself! Occasionally we have guests stay over.

About: I have always loved interacting with animals, they are a joy to be around. Pet sitting has always been a fun opportunity for me to earn income since middle school, and now that I am embarking on my law school journey, I hope to continue that trend. I am comfortable assisting dogs and cats of any age. I’m dedicated to your pets comfort & happiness, and will treat your pet how I would hope you would treat mine, like family! I have been employed as a full-time nanny in the cheat lake area for the past three years. I will be starting law school at wvu this August! During the week, I will not be confined to a classroom all day, and will be sure to communicate my availability when you reach out with your pets needs. We have a spacious, fully fenced in backyard. Your pet will also have free range of our finished basement. Pictures of the space available upon request! While your animal will not be confined to a crate in our home, we do prefer that they are house and crate trained.

“THE BEST! She took such good care of my 2 cats. She sent a lot of pictures and even checked in the day after to make sure I got home safe from my trip. I will 100% ask her to watch my cats whenever I go out of town :)”
