Pet Sitting Oak Hill

About: I’m a huge dog lover and will give your dog(s) the love and care they deserve! I grew up with a German Shepherd mix, Max, who is now 10 years old! I have raised my little Ozzy since birth while I was on Active Duty in the Army - he is now 1.5 years old. I’m currently job searching, so I have plenty of time to walk your dog(s) and drop in for visits! I am flexible around your schedule. In my home, Max and Ozzy have room to play in the living room. We have a backyard but it is not fenced. I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood, and we always make friends while walking the dogs!

“Chelsea is really terrific! Our cats are super comfortable with her. Chelsea goes above and beyond to meet their/our needs and we are so grateful she has been available for repeat bookings. She is a great choice!”

About: Hi! My name is Isabella; I go by Izzy and I've been a reliable pet sitter for the past 5 years. During college, I was an in-house pet sitter for a 2-year-old Maltese and also regularly in-house sat for a lab mix and Husky. I would also occasionally watch my friends' dogs during long holiday weekends here and there. When completing my Master's I offered drop-in visits to residents in my apartment complex and gained plenty of experience walking different breeds of all sizes and ages. I understand that every pet has an established routine and unique needs, so I like to build trust with the pets I sit and value creating a meaningful bond by learning each pet's personalities, habits, and preferences. I work full time in-person in Washington, D.C., Monday-Wednesday and remotely from Herndon, VA Thursdays and Fridays. My schedule allows me to flexibly work around the DMV, with greater daytime flexibility on my remote workdays and availability before or after work when I am in the office for D.C. residents. I can work remote from anywhere which is helpful for pet parents wanting a sitter starting on Wednesday evenings to Sunday if traveling over a weekend. I value open communication and like to provide as many updates as possible/as frequently as owners would like through photos or just casual check-in texts. I believe honesty is the best policy and bring up any concerns immediately to the owners. I always ask about emergency contacts/emergency vet locations in case it is ever needed. Building trust with owners is just as important as building a strong bond with your furry friend, so I like to get to know owners before sitting and talk about our communication styles.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 7–10 years, looking after the animals and homes of friends, family, and neighbors who know they can rely on me. I believe every pet has different needs, so I take the time to get to know them, follow their routines, and give them the attention they’re comfortable with. I’ll send daily pictures and updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel at ease while you’re away. If there’s something specific you’d like me to do, I’ll make sure it gets done, and if I’m ever unsure about something, I’ll ask. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and in good hands. I work early mornings at Starbucks, so I’m used to getting up early and planning my day around a schedule. When it comes to caring for your pet, I want to understand their specific needs and routine rather than take a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I’ll do my best to accommodate their schedule and make sure they get the care they need. I believe it’s important to communicate with you, follow your instructions, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I believe pets feel most comfortable when their routines and surroundings stay familiar, so I’m happy to care for them in their own home. I treat every home with respect and make sure to follow the owner’s instructions, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, medications, or specific safety precautions. I take the time to understand what each pet needs, respect their boundaries, and ask questions whenever I’m unsure about something. I want you to feel comfortable trusting me with your pet and your home, knowing that I’ll treat both with care and respect while you’re away.

About: Leaving your dog with someone else can feel like a big deal! I’ll make sure they’re safe and loved. I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and have experience with the day-to-day responsibilities that come with having a pet. I’m patient and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, and I want them to have the best time while they’re in my care! Whether your pup wants a good walk, some playtime, or simply a lot of love and attention, I’ll meet them where they are. I have a pup of my own: a blue heeler/pomsky mix, so I’m no stranger to energetic personalities and their little quirks! If you’re looking for someone who will give your dog plenty of care, attention, and love, I’d love to meet you both! I’ll also be sure to send many updates throughout their care. I’m primarily available on weekends (Friday evening to Sunday), with some weekday evening availability depending on the day. I’m happy to work around your dog’s usual routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. Whether you need someone for a walk, a drop-in visit, or weekend dog sitting, I’d be happy to help! I live in a townhouse with a small, unfenced yard, as well as a large grassy area and plenty of walking paths nearby for walks, sniffs, and exploring. I also have my dog, Peter, so our dogs will be sharing a home together! While I’m sitting, I’ll be home with the dogs most of the time, if not all, aside from the occasional short errand when needed. I’ll always follow your instructions and your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. When caring for your pup in their home, I would love to take them for walks, stay in for some playtime and cuddles, or simply follow whatever routine and activities they enjoy the most!

About: Hi there! I’m a physical therapist by profession and a lifelong dog lover at heart! I bring a caring, patient, and attentive approach to everything I do, and I’d love the opportunity to give your furry family member that same level of care. My background in physical therapy has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, attention to detail, and understanding individual needs. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, outdoor adventures, or just some extra cuddles, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Your pup will always be treated like family! Looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged best friend! 🐾 I’m currently transitioning into a part-time work schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability for pet care throughout the week. I have a fairly open schedule and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting based on your needs. I enjoy staying active and would love to make spending time with your pets a regular part of my routine. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that works best for everyone! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big responsibility, and I don’t take that lightly. As a physical therapist, I’ve developed a strong attention to detail, patience, and a caring approach to working with others. I believe in creating a safe, calm, and respectful environment where every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I will always respect your instructions, your pet’s individual needs, and your home as if they were my own. Building trust with both pets and their owners is something I truly value!

“Derek was so great with my senior kitty! Usually my senior cat is really desperate for attention when we get back, but he was great and clearly engaged with. Also having the knowledge he could pill my cat if needed was really comforting”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs all my life and love pets of all kinds. I currently have a 10-year old dog, so I am experienced with senior needs. I love going for long walks with furry friends and always make sure they get lots of play time. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your dogs or cats. Need early morning, lunch break, or evening walks or drop-ins I'm there! I will work with the schedule you outline and ensure your pet is getting the attention and care they need. Busy walks, treats, feedings if needed, I can take care of it all.

“Miranda did a great job taking care of my cats and providing ample updates while I was gone :)”

“Maryann was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond while caring for our 3 dogs and cat while we were out of town. She spent extra time at our house, made sure everyone was fed, loved on, and played with, and even cleaned up accidents in the house without hesitation. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. We would highly recommend Maryann and will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾”

About: Looking for a sitter that can accompany anxiety separation pets? Well I'm the perfect fit for that! I may not be a professional, a vet, or certified in expertise fields, but one things for sure is that I will be very attentive to your pets needs and give them all the attention and affection while you're gone! I'm very diligent in my work and will follow strictly based on what you tell me your pet needs, whether that is a special food accommodation, medication and walking habits, my overall goal is to make sure you arrive back with a happy pet! I have experience with Senior dogs and their special diets + medications. I am recently learning about how younger dogs behave so be patient with me as I will ask you a lot of questions. I am very open to learning more. I've been around cats for most of my life and have a deep understanding of their body language and time it takes to form trust. I will be very patient with your cat and let them feel safe with my calm presense! I will follow through any diet accommodations and keep their litter box and environment tidy. I also have a new found love for bunnies and have learned their diets, their needs and personalities. If there by any chance be an outlier bunny owner seeking a sitter, I hope you pick me 🙏 my love for bunnies is huge and it would be an honor to take care of one from Rover at one point! Currently I have the time to accompany anxiety separation dogs, have play sessions, provide full attunement and give any medications on scheduled intervals. I won't have an issue with staying inside as long as I have my devices. I make sure your dog or cat gets fed exactly within the time range you requested, same with dog walks. For dogs / cat that try to escape, I make sure I double check while carefully opening / closing the door. I check on hiding cats to ensure they're okay.

About: I've been the go to neighborhood pet sitter since I was in middle school. People trust that I will always be on time and care for their pets like they are my own! Recently ran a marathon so I can do longggg walks! My schedule is currently flexible, I am available for pet care weekdays and weekends anytime including overnight pet sitting at your house. I usually won't be able to stay the entire day but I will be back for frequently to let them out and play fetch or go for a walk. When taking clients dogs for walks, I always carry treats to distract the dog if they don't get along with other dogs and before leaving the house I double check they have plenty of water and the doors are all locked.

“Keila is fantastic! Highly recommend. Super responsive and kind and helpful. We are very grateful and would ask for Keila’s help again anytime.”

“Claire was great with my 6 month old puppy! She made sure he got in a nice walk, playtime, and dinner while I was away for longer than he’s used to, which made it easier to be gone from the house.”

Christine N.

“Clay arrived on time, has a friendly demeanor, and was in tune to Abner’s needs. This was a trial run to see Abner’s willingness to walk with him. Due to the pandemic, Abner is not as adaptable to new people as before since someone is usually with him as I work from home. They came back pretty quickly from the walk so I accompanied them to allow Abner to be more comfortable with Clay. We had a nice walk and Abner seems to be warming up to him. After the walk, Clay paid close attention to the post-walk routine of wiping Abner’s paws and private areas by the door. I quickly booked Clay again for next week and I highly recommend him.”

About: I grew up with a house full of pets including cats, dogs, and budgies. Currently I have my own cat Cloe and a turtle named Joe. I have experience caring for my elderly childhood cat who requires chemo pills, laxatives, and special food. Im currently searching for employment so my schedule is completely open. Can work weekends and weekdays at any time, preferably weekdays 10 am to 5pm. At my apartment I care for my 4 year old feline. She likes to play with her string toy and watch cat tv. Shes very food motivated so we always have treats on hand. At my parents house we have a fenced in backyard for the dog and lots of indoor space for their 4 cats. My childhood cat needs medication and special food so he is fed seperately from the other 3 cats. Every cat i've ever owend has been exclusively indoor.
