Dog Sitting Nokesville

“Argie was absolutely fantastic with Tori, and Tori loved her! Besides tending to the usual chores of litter box cleaning, feeding, etc., Argie spent lots of time with Tori to play with her and groom her, sent us plenty of photos, collected our mail, and provided daily reports. She clearly is an avid animal lover. Looking forward to reserving Argie again for our next vacation. Thanks, Argie ... you're the best!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and have 6 years of experience making sure pets stay happy and healthy while their owners are away. I have a ton of energy for long walks, park trips, and playing fetch for high-energy dogs, but I also can be calm and relaxed for senior dogs. Because I study at home, my schedule is very flexible, which is perfect for house-sitting! I can spend the majority of my day at your home, ensuring your pet is never left alone for long periods. I’m available for overnight stays during the week and on weekends, and I make it a priority to stick to your pet's specific walking and feeding routine so their day feels totally normal while you're away. I take the responsibility of staying in your home very seriously. I am extremely diligent about home security—always double-checking that doors and windows are locked and that your pet is secure before I step out. I pride myself on leaving your home exactly as I found it (or cleaner!). I’m also a very frequent communicator; I love sending daily photo updates and quick 'check-ins' so you never have to wonder how things are going.

About: My background in Biology and lifelong experience with dogs reflect my deep love for animals. I’m committed to giving every pet patient, loving and dependable care. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to easily adapt to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication or simply providing companionship, I can make pet care a priority throughout the day. Your dog will be treated like part of the family. We have a small fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time, but we also take dogs on regular potty breaks and walks throughout the day to make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention and care.

About: As a proud six-year dog owner of a super calm and sociable Spanish Greyhound Mix and experienced caregiver, I speak fluent 'woof' and know the best belly-rub spots. Pet care isn't a task, it's a fundamental part of my established routine. As a six-year dog owner, my days are already naturally structured around morning, midday, and evening walks, feeding times, and dedicated attention. This existing commitment ensures I have the flexibility and systems in place to accommodate various client schedules seamlessly and reliably. In my home: My home provides a safe, dog-proofed environment where I strictly maintain the client's established feeding, medication, and walking routines. Pets get continuous supervision and access to a fenced yard for playtime. In a client's home: At a client's home, my focus is on seamless continuity. I adhere precisely to their schedule, ensure security, and provide regular updates, treating their space and pet with the utmost respect and responsibility.

This means that I can provide 24/7 care and 100% focus on your little friend full-time. More importantly, your pet will be more comfortable always having a human around. I've been called reliable, honest and punctual. I take a more personalized approach and only serve one client at a time.

The three pillars of my pet care are safety, reliability, and comfort.

“Leigh took wonderful care of our cats while we were out of town. Communication was great. When we came home it was easy to see that our cats were well taken care of. I would not hesitate to book Leigh again.”

“Caroline took amazing care of my girl, Stella. She was attentive to Stella’s needs and gave her the cuddles she requested each drop in visit. We will definitely have her back!”

Chris M.

“Emma was awesome! Super responsive and never made me wonder about our pets; she gave me updates both during and after the check-in. I would definitely trust her again with our boys!”

Katey Z.

“If you only want the best for your pet, Ami is it. Everything from start to finish with her has been nothing short of outstanding. She is reliable, compassionate, and her energy is so calming. My dog Luna had just been diagnosed with kidney disease, and I was overwhelmed. Ami came over to administer subQ fluids, which have been a struggle for me to do on my own because it was so stressful for my dog. Ami taught me things the vet never mentioned, so that the experience was less stressful for Luna, such as warming the bag of fluids, the position to hold my dog in and how to distract her with treats. She even recommended needles that are thinner, and I was amazed my dog didn’t even react when she poked her! She is also working with me on a specialty diet specifically for CKD which is already helping with her nausea and appetite. I am so relieved to have found Ami - she is an invaluable resource, and true animal whisperer. And our kitties approve too, they absolutely love her! Thanks again Ami!!!”

Christine H.

“Abigail once again has done a fantastic job with our animals. She’s easy to communicate with, reliable, punctual, and the fur-babies love her. We will continue to go with her.”

About: I grew up with dogs and helped train one from puppyhood, gaining hands-on experience with obedience and daily care. I also regularly dog sat for my neighbors, building trust with both pets and their owners. While I’m currently in college and don’t have a dog of my own, I stay active by volunteering at a local animal shelter, working with dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I have very open availability over the summer and can be flexible to meet your dog’s needs. I do occasionally spend time with family about an hour away, but I always plan ahead to ensure I’m fully available and committed to any bookings. I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs, providing a safe and social environment for visiting pets. Dogs in my care get plenty of outdoor time, play, and supervision

About: i have raised puppies and kittens of my own. I also have had a senior dog in the past that i was able to care for. I have experience administering different medications for animals such as oral pills, insulin injections and liquid medicine. I’m currently working part time so i have a lot of time on my hands to care for these animals. I will be attending school as well as working my part time job but both are very short hours. I feel more comfortable going to the clients home because of my pets at home. I would not like to make either of my animals or the clients animals stressed out with the new smells and or noises.

“Used Elmer for drop in visits and walk over the week of the 4th. Highly recommend him using him for your pets!”

Blair S.

“Short notice for a 10-day stretch of twice-a-day drop-ins for my kitty over the holiday. Picture through the app at every visit. Came home to a non-stressed kitty who was still happy to see me, but not irritated that his schedule was off -- I now have a lot to live up to!”

Susan H.

“Christine took great care of our cats while we were away for 2 weeks. We enjoyed seeing her updates and photos everyday”

Jenny P.

“Sarahí took care so well of our little Ramon! She was very attentive in her drop-in visits always keeping us posted of our puppies progress as he is very young. Ramon got used to her very quickly and my husband feel extremely comfortable and happy with her disposition! Thank you for your outstanding care Sarahi ?”

About: I'm a dependable and caring pet lover who enjoys spending time with animals of all kinds. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own. I provide attentive care, including walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, and plenty of affection. I'm comfortable following special instructions, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages during each visit My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, active play, or just relaxing companionship, I'll tailor my care to their needs. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability! I currently work full time; however, my schedule can be flexible. I have plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for your pet! I don’t work at all on weekends leaving plenty of time for pet care. I have a passion for animals and I am good at gaining their trust and confidence. Pets are family to me, and I know how stressful it can be to leave on vacation thinking how much our pups will miss us, and whether they are safe and happy while we are away.
