Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In North Rosslyn

“Charlie again dropped in on my cat at the same time as boarding my dog and was a lifesaver! I have a very difficult cat and he always approaches the situation with compassion, humor, and even some creative thinking 😁 it’s really hard to find a sitter like this for Scotty and we’re lucky to have him.”

“Megan took great care of my senior cat, Betty White! My request was super last minute and Megan was a lifesaver. She was super communicative and was able to do my cats medication as well. Will definitely use her again!”

About: Hi, I’m Katie! I’ve been dog sitting since 2021, and I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, and breeds, including puppies and senior dogs. I have experience helping multiple families with their pets and understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. What sets me apart is that I genuinely love being around dogs and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while their owners are away. I also work from home which gives me the flexibility to take dogs out during the day, stay on top of feeding schedules, and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. In addition to dog sitting, I’ve been around dogs for many years through my own family and previously lived with dogs as well, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I work from home every day so I will have time to take care of your dogs all throughout day. I’m available to walk, feed, and watch your dogs every weekday. I would let pets roam or lay around my apartment and play with them when I have the time. If needed, I can put them in a crate, but I do enjoy their company.

“Hannah was so sweet to my cat! Very communicative and kind :)”

“Julia was great- so trustworthy, responsive, and kind. I was very nervous leaving my puppy for the first time, but I felt much more comfortable knowing she’d be looking after him. So grateful for her help!”

“Carina was communicative and so kind to Luci! I would recommend her services to all in search of an attentive, caring sitter.”

About: I have fifteen years of pet sitting and care experience, to include drop-ins, walks, feedings, litter box cleaning and overnight stays. When I was little, I wanted to be a veterinarian, and then a zoologist. Neither career panned out, but my love for animals remained. Now I get my fill of furry friends by providing excellent, worry-free care for your pets! As a proud mom of three urban hens, I know how nerve-wracking it is to be away from a beloved pet. That’s why I provide frequent updates and pictures to my clients so that they can go about their workdays or trips without anxiety. I specialize in cats, dogs and birds. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I am currently freelancing part-time, which provides me with an extremely flexible schedule to care for your pets! From walks to drop-ins to overnight stays, I can provide a variety of services to DMV pet owners When in your home whether for a drop-by or overnight stay, I am committed to making your pet feel as comfortable and happy as possible in the absence of their person/people. I follow my clients’ instructions and specifics of their pets’ routines, and follow them closely. I also provide lots of love and cuddles (or love from afar for pets that don’t like to be touched!)

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.
