About: I recently graduated with a PhD from George Mason University, so I'm highly organized and detail-oriented. I love animals of all shapes and sizes, and pet sitting provides much-needed joy and balance to my sedentary work at a computer. I work remotely with flexible hours, so I am able to accommodate specific feeding times, frequent check-ins, and potty breaks. As a proud cat owner, I'm very observant and knowledgeable about cat behavior and body language. I provide calm and gentle care that helps even the most timid cats feel secure and safe in their own space. I am skilled with trimming nails and brushing, and am happy to provide those services upon request, depending on your cat's tolerance. I also have several years of experience managing overnight house sits and walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including Greyhounds, Pit Bulls, and Australian Shepherds. I am able to care for and manage a wide range of dog energy levels. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs a brisk walk or is an elderly senior who requires a slow, gentle pace and careful supervision, I’ve got them covered. I'm currently working a fully remote, part-time job so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to offer drop-in visits any day of the week, any time of day between 8am and 8pm. I offer overnight visits for up to 3 consecutive nights. Home visits and overnights: I double-check that all doors are securely locked after every visit, bring in mail, and ensure your home was well-maintained during my stay. Leash Safety & Walking: On walks, safety is non-negotiable. I use a secure grip, stay highly observant of our surroundings, and never allow interaction with unknown dogs or people on the street unless you give me permission. Whether handling a strong, high-energy breed, or a sensitive, anxious dog, I maintain total focus and connection with your dog. Cat Care: For drop-ins, I make sure to provide for all your cat's needs including changing water, feeding, scooping litter, and playtime, grooming, and cuddles as requested. I also take time to read your cat's body language—if they want play and interaction, I'm fully present; if they prefer a calm presence from a distance, I respect their boundaries. I'm experienced with brushing and cleaning ears, so I am happy to offer that upon request, depending on your cat's temperament and needs. Updates: You will receive detailed updates and photos during every visit and at regular intervals during overnight stays.

“Hannah took wonderful care of our medium-sized dog over the Fourth of July weekend. She was flexible, communicative, and proactive throughout the stay, especially when helping us monitor how our dog was handling the heat and the fireworks. When our return flights were unexpectedly canceled, she didn’t hesitate to extend the booking, which was a big help and peace of mind. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Hannah again and highly recommend her!”

About: I’m a caring and responsible pet owner with over 2 years of hands-on experience taking care of my own cats every day. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routines, providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes, giving plenty of playtime, and paying close attention to their behavior and health. I have also helped friends care for their pets while they were away. I know that every pet has a different personality, so I’m patient with shy or anxious animals and happy to give energetic pets the attention and exercise they need. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available every day of the week, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I can provide pet care at any time of the day and accommodate different schedules, whether you need morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care. I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s routine and your schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise routines, and any special requirements. I take time to build trust with every pet and always provide photo and message updates so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.

“Spencer & Julia took great care of my cat and provided a ton of photos during their time with him! They offered plenty of pets, treats, and cuddles and gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation!”

“Samantha took such good care of my babies while I was away on a trip. She is playful, caring, and truly attentive. She sent us pictures every day and communicated everything in great detail. When one of my dogs started showing signs of ear irritation, she noticed it right away and acted quickly her judgment made us feel completely at ease. We have three dogs, and she did an amazing job with all of them. Highly recommend her!”

About: I've taken care of many breeds and ages of dogs including pets with behavioral issues, medical needs, senior dogs, and puppies! I am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes, and am happy to adjust to your pet's needs. I also have experience trimming nails, administering medication, and adhering to specific dietary needs. I am working 9-5 in the office during the week, but am happy to care for pets in the evenings or weekends!

I have experience with many kinds and styles of dog ownership, so I'm happy to care for your pet however you need! I'm willing to stay in a client's home if a pet needs overnight care, or simply drop in for walks, medications, or feedings during the work day.

About: I love pets because I cherish the special bond between a human and a pet even when none of them speak the same language :) I have had a cat for 8 years and could watch friends dogs for over a year I really enjoy walking with a dog because it makes me feel zen and happy!
