About: Hi! My name is Jess. I live in the Braddock Road/Old Town North area in a very dog friendly building with a dog park. I’m originally from CA where I used to walk dogs and dog sit while in college. I have grown up around dogs all my life and would love to spoil your dog with love. I love cuddling and giving rubbing belly’s. Please know that I will walk your dog and make sure it is happy and safe while in my supervision. You can also count on me to take cute photos of your pup. I’m guilty of a photo feed full of dog pics haha. I‘m excited to meet your dog!! Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. Best, Jess Bright and early, I usually head down to the dog park with my dog for a morning potty break and allow her to run around. I work from home so I’m able to take breaks in between my day and head down to the dog park. Once I’m off work, I like to go down and stay at the dog park for about 30 minutes so the dogs can play. Then, I usually do an evening walk with my dog. I also make sure to take my dog out in the evening before bed. The dog park in my building has a fenced dog park that I can take your dog so they can run around freely. I take my dog down daily, so I’m very familiar with all the dogs and their owners.

“Brianna was great. She gave me updates and communication was quick and easy. My cats and dog loved her. I was able to enjoy my vacation without a worry!”

“Kyle was awesome – he took great care of our dog Maya and gave plenty of updates. He also dealt with some unexpected issues with our home, and even helped coordinate building maintenance to start on repairs. We'll absolutely use Kyle as a sitter again.”

“Cassie was absolutely amazing with our old rescue!!!! We had a family wedding to go to out of town then got hit with the snow storm and she stayed an extra day to make sure our girl was taken care of and communicated so well that I didn’t have to stress at all about the situation. Honestly we couldn’t be more grateful for her taking her time to understand our dog and take care of her.”

Melissa K.

“Marie is so great. We have an older dog and she took great care of him. Carrying him up and down our 3rd floor walk up multiple times a day because she noticed he was having arthritis flare ups. I seriously cannot recommend her enough for her attention and care for our pets.”

Matthew R.

“Christina was amazing! She was attentive and helpful from the very first contact. She was sweet with my dogs, sent photos, and took perfect care of them. We hope to count on her care again in the future. Thank you, Christina!”

“Andrea is a great house/dogsitter. I booked her for the first time last weekend. She was very responsive and we had a very constructive meet and greet, during which she asked many questions and took copious notes. Andrea reached out to me—without prompting—before she arrived the day of her sitting, to confirm she was coming and what time she’d be there, which placed me at ease. During her stay, Andrea gave me appropriate status checks, including when she left. She left the house in great shape. I would definitely recommend Andrea for house sitting and intend to use her again soon.”

“Niani kept me posted throughout the house sitting and sent lots of pictures and videos which was really helpful! My cat took some time but eventually got very comfortable and talkative. Thanks Niani for taking great care of Jamun!”

Akanksha S.

“Nichole house sat and took great care of my pup, Evie! She sent multiple updates with lots of photos, which made me feel super at ease!! She was flexible when I asked her to come earlier than I had first booked her for (put my anxious travel mind at ease!!). Thank you Nichole!”

Abigail W.

“This is the third time Katie has stayed with my dog Luna. This time was an extended stay and Katie was great about sending photos and updates! Luna was happy and healthy when we got home!”

Kelly B.

“My cats have never been so calm and happy when I return home from a trip. A’layza always communicated with me, sent me daily pictures of my fur babies, and left the house cleaner than it was. Highly recommended A’layza!”

About: I've been a long-time cat-person who also has experience adopting a rescue dog and raising her from her puppy years to old age - I'm knowledgeable about training, medication administration, and handling reactive or nervous pets. I've been a pet sitter and house sitter for many years, and would love to support you and your family in your pet care needs. I'm an academic librarian new to NOVA with work from home flexibility. Over the month of December, I have extended time off for the holidays and will be staying in the area. I've been a pet and house sitter and feel confident about coming to your space and paying attention to the details that matter to keep your pet healthy, happy, and safe. I live in an apartment complex and have a cat myself, which I imagine folks will take into consideration in case they want to leave their pet with me.

“Nathan took amazing care of my dog. This was the first time I had used Rover for an overnight stay, and it’s been an great success. I’m thankful to have a reliable sitter that my dog loves. Couldn’t recommend Nathan more highly.”
