Pet Sitting in North Shore

“Mandy is wonderful with my almost 5 year old Sheltie and 16 month old Golden Retriever. She is very dependable and takes great care of my girls. I would recommend her for drop in visits!”

“Siara is great! She has taken care of our cats twice now and I know we’re always in good hands with her. She’s Kind, very friendly, prompt and communicates beautifully while caring for our cats. We will most definitely call her again.”

“Celinda won over our somewhat skittish dog on her first visit. I appreciated her offering a welcome visit in advance of the sitting and knew everything would go great after watching her with our pup. Highly recommend! Great communication - it makes travel even more fun when we know our 4 legged family are in such good hands ❤️”

“Jody was great! Got our sometimes timid dog to warm up to her in the first visit. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals—dogs, cats, and even foster pets who stayed with us until they found their forever homes. This lifelong experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to adapt to each pet’s unique personality. I’m especially comfortable with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra care and gentleness. What sets me apart is not just my love for animals, but my hands-on experience with fostering and helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in new environments. I recently moved to the area from Northern Virginia and will be starting college this Fall ('25) at Virginia Western Community College. I currently at home with my parents in Goodview, VA. I'm open every weekend and on holidays. I can also drop in for care visits and walks in the late afternoon during some weekdays. I currently have two dogs of my own, and they’re truly part of the family. At home, I make sure they get plenty of walks, outdoor playtime, and lots of attention. I always follow the same approach with pets I’m caring for—making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for just like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I pay close attention to their needs and routines.

“Samantha was awesome taking care of our cats for the week. I am truly grateful for her car while we were on vacation. We have one cat that requires medication twice a day and Samantha was so great getting Lily her meds and I'm very pleased with her overall care of our cats. I will absolutely use her every time we go out of town.”

“Valerie has watched my kitty, Sammy, three times now. She shows up as promised and sends me photos of my sweet boy. She doesn’t hesitate to contact me with questions or to reassure that Sammy is fine. I’d recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”

About: Animals are my passion! I have experience with giving medication to animals, dealing with anxious animals, and other maintenance concerns regarding your furry friend(s). I will treat your pets and animals as if they were my own, so there is no need to look any further! :) I am currently going to school, but I am able to commute on days other than Monday and Wednesday during the fall 2025 semester. I would appreciate listing any medications that you animals may need and when those ought to be given to them. While I cannot provide my own home for your animals getaway, I would love to make your animals feel like they are not far from home while you're away. If you leave explicit instructions regarding what you would like me to do while in your residence, you can trust that they will be followed and respected.

“Did a great job with our two pups, she is super nice and respectful and I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!”

About: From an early age, I've taken care of animals small-to-large, parrots-to-malamutes and I believe they're all special, giving us an endless quality of life 💓. Making time for ani-fam is never an inconvenience because it is a practice of fulfilling a pet's needs. ☺️ It also helps to fulfill my self-care/ spiritual health needs by nurturing another living being. I find I function best when I care for an animal as it keeps me on task, on schedule, and mentally happy, too! Our two family cats are fed early in the am/pm, plenty of (consensual) belly rubs, a daily lil' treat, playtime and plenty of nap time as well as personal space, as they see fit. We also share the past-time of birdwatching in the countryside. ✨ When it comes to your pet and your home, I am dedicated to respecting your pet's dietary restrictions, physical "play" needs, and always approaching with love and respect, as I will be the guest in their/your home. Between a strict regimen or low-maintenance regimen for your animal, I would require meeting with you/them in your space beforehand to make sure I get a thorough briefing. I also believe this helps with introductory bonding, showing I am a safe person to trust, and not cause unwanted stress on your pet.

“Jessica was a great pet sitter. We made plans to attend an event at the last minute and she was available to care for 3 pets! We spoke prior to her visit and she asked questions to make sure that she was giving them the expected care. She was prompt with the times that we discussed to drop in on the dogs. She walked each one of them individually on a double leash (so no one escaped) and sent pictures so that I would know they were okay. She even brought and left behind extra dog treats!”

“Thanks again Keelee has taken the stress out me leaving town and knowing our precious Jack is being taken care of!!”

About: I have been a pet owner my entire life. I now own 2 cats and a guinea pig (thanks to my son!). I have a calm, friendly tabby and a wild, energetic Bengal. I have experience with a variety of felines. I also have experience with pets who may need medication. I have previously cared for a diabetic cat. I have a pretty flexible and accommodating schedule. I am available for potty walks throughout the day and multiple feedings/check ins as they are needed. Due to rental restrictions I am unable to keep pets in my home, but am happy to visit your pet in their comfortable safe space.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I can remember, there has never been a time I have not had a dog. I currently pet sit for my coworkers and family regularly. I love dogs of all sizes! I know how to care for dogs of all ages, from puppy to senior. Hello! I’m a full-time CNA and I’m looking to offer part-time pet care services Monday-Thursday. If you need someone reliable to look after your fur babies, I’d be happy to assist with any care your pets need, from feeding and walking to just providing companionship. Let’s chat about how I can help take care of your pets while you’re away! Caring for pets, whether they’re my own or someone else’s takes attention, routine, and understanding of each animal’s unique personality. Pets like people like consistency. I ensure I understand their regular feeding times, exercise habits. Understanding each animals play habits helps keep them entertained and happy. Documenting medical concerns and medication needed to ensure properly given, and monitor for any signs of illness. Pets, especially those away from their owners, can experience anxiety, some more than others! I engage with them to provide companionship such as playtime & cuddles! I keep an eye on body language and behavior to ensure they are comfortable. I keep open communication, providing updates and reporting any concerns. Trust is vital, and being responsive to a client’s pet care preferences or concerns is important. Ensure I have vet and contact information in the event of an emergency.

About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a 10 for my family and friends. I love making connections with new adorable furry faces. I am currently enrolled at George Mason University and take both in person and online classes. This allows me to have amply time in my schedule to provide pet care. I will be providing in home pet care, allowing your precious fur babies a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment that they are already accustomed to.

I can provide your pup with potty breaks, daily runs, and extra love. I can also watch your sweet cat and give him or her lots of cuddles!

About: I have been raising and caring for a variety of animals for over 25 years! Having experience with all kinds of animals, I know the importance of meeting the needs of each animal and giving it the love and care it deserves and desires. I have several families that reach out to me when they are planning a trip so that I can care for their pets while they are away. I understand the importance of maintaining the pet owners routine, commands, and affection with their pets to help reduce anxiety and stress while they are away. My goal is to love their pets as if they are my own. I have cared for our own dogs as seniors and have experience with failing body functions and know how to administer medications and assist the animal with getting up and moving around. I also have much experience with puppies since I breed Australian Shepherds and care for the puppies from the time they are born until they are at an appropriate age and health standard to go to their new families. I am so excited to meet many other pet families in our area and live on your pet so you can feel comfortable and at peace any time you need to travel and your pet has to stay behind. It’s hard enough to say good-bye, so having peace of mind on how they will be cared for while you are away can make a good trip a GREAT one!! I am available most days of the week for 24/7 care since we are a homeschooling family and I am a stay at home mom. Pets are allowed in our home as long as they get along well with other pets and children. I do have an unground fence and collars that I can use to teach your pet to stay in our yard. I also have two nice size kennels that give dogs plenty of room to wander inside and outside the kennel walls.

About: As the daughter of a groomer, I have been around dogs since I was a child. I have seen a variety of different sizes and breeds over the years, and have experienced many different temperaments as well. I am a dog lover in all aspects, I have 5 dogs of my own, big and small, and they are my children. My goal is to provide you with relief and peace of mind that your dogs are in good hands as I have taken care of dogs since I was around 9 years old. I have experience administering medications, topical creams, and proper grooming (thanks Mom!) to many different dogs and understand that all are different and special in their own way! Additionally, I have worked on a farm on and off during my youth, so I have experience working with large animals and small animals and birds too! I am a college student studying at Virginia Tech, so pet care has always been my full time job during the summers! I do have a part time job right now, but my boss is knowledgeable of my passion for animals and allows me to create my work schedule around my animal schedule! I provide excellent care by providing what’s truly important in the pet care world: peace of mind. Leaving your dogs or cats with me would mean leaving them with someone who would love them, take them on hearty walks, wants to spend time with them, and give them all the pets and attention they could ask for during a stressful time when their owners were away. I want to take that stress away!

About: I am highly active, with a background in high-level sports. I workout weekly at a local gym, stay on my feet all day at work, and have a high energy dog myself. Every thing I do from sun up to sun down is focused on health and the growth of those around me. If there's an opportunity to train an animal, I tend to seize that moment. The more our pets understand us, the easier it is to live with them. My dog is a well-fed, exercised, played with PitBull/Boxer, if I neglect him, I lose my friend. I am currently a Full Time Manager at a Retail Store and I look forward to my free time outside of the job. I only work 8 hours a day (alternating between, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd shift), allowing me to offer my pet services early mornings, mid-day, or late nights (time slots may vary). I will take in account of all enviorments, dangers, and inconveniences while with your pet. We will avoid any problematic situations, respect all forecasted weather, and move as far from traffic as we can.
