Dog Sitting Oakton

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7. It started with my first beagle, Zeus, and sparked an innate love for dogs. I am a reliable working professional who wants to help you with your pet sitting needs. I work from home and am able to commit to midday walks 12-1pm or evening walks during the week. On the weekends, my schedule is a little more up in the air. I am empathetic, energetic, and love caring for animals. Whether your pet is older and needs medicine to be given, or perhaps young and requires activity - you can count on me.

About: As a lifelong dog owner, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I currently care for my own dog and know how important it is to have someone you can trust when you’re away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them with the same patience and care I’d want for my own family. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether your pet needs a walk while you’re at work, drop-in visits, overnight care, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to keeping their routine consistent. I pride myself on being responsive, punctual, and providing regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (when needed), and any special instructions. My home has a securely fenced backyard for supervised play, and my friendly doodle, Kuzco, enjoys meeting other dogs when introductions are appropriate. If your pet is more comfortable on their own, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re part of my own family.

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.

“Teju communicates extremely well and showed true care towards my cat. They went above and beyond while I was away and I would absolutely love to rebook them in the future.”

“Joaquin did an excellent job taking care of my dog and she barely noticed that I was gone! I am definitely going to choose Joaquin again in the future!”

About: I’ve done another dog sitting service for 2 years and am switching to rover now that I am in a new city! I’ve watched many family friends dogs over the years as well. I am waiting on credentialing things so am currently free all day every day until that comes in so I am ready to take care of all of your animals! In your home I do love going on walks so I am more than happy to walk them and in my home we are in a busy area with lots of walking space for them.

About: Growing up, my family always had a dog or two in the house. I am experienced in all aspects of dog care, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, house training, bathing, and basic health care. I have also volunteered as a puppy raiser for The Seeing Eye, during which time I worked with young puppies to help socialize them, teach basic obedience commands, and prepare them for their future as guide dogs. I have also been pet sitting for friends and neighbors, both dogs and cats. I work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I have a passion for the outdoors, no matter what the weather brings, and would love to have the company of a furry friend on my walks, hikes, and runs. I am a single mom of two boys, ages 8 and 12, who are with me most of the time. We live in a quiet neighborhood right across the street from a large park with miles of trails and a dog park. I do not have animals of my own, so your fur baby will be the center of our attention. I am committed to providing a safe and loving environment for your pet. I am very reliable and will provide regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for 5+ years for friends, family, neighbors, and clients. I absolutely love getting to know every pet’s personality! I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and cats to K9s and a 17-year-old dog who needed multiple medications and strict schedule. I also have 5 pets of my own (2 dogs and 3 cats), so I’m used to lots of love, different routines, and pets with all kinds of needs! Fun fact, I volunteer for rescue in puerto rico flying animals back to the states when I travel there. I’m currently in college, so my availability depends on my class schedule during the semester. However, when I’m home on school breaks, I’m completely available and would love to spend my time caring for pets! I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I follow each pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel comfortable in their own home. I’m respectful of your space, careful with instructions, and happy to provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!

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!

About: Hello! I'm Valentina! I have experience caring for pets of different ages and needs, including my 10 year old cat and my sister’s 4 year old dog. Most recently, I cared for a Giant Schnauzer puppy right through his crazy growth spurt, from the day he came home at 3 months old all the way until he was 7 months old! Working with a high energy, big pup takes a lot of patience, consistency, and structure, so I kept him on a solid daily routine with twice a day walks to burn off that puppy energy and practice good leash manners. I’m also a very active person and genuinely enjoy being outdoors, walking, and staying on the move, so I love being able to bring that energy and enthusiasm into caring for pets. I have a flexible schedule and I’m generally available for walks and drop-in visits in the morning from 7:30 to 9:30 AM and in the afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30 PM. I’m happy to be flexible and work around your pet’s routine whenever possible. A little advance notice is always appreciated so I can plan my day and make sure I can give your pup the time, care, and attention they deserve. I love caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and stick to their familiar routine. I find that pets tend to feel more relaxed and at ease in their own space, especially when their owners are away. I’m happy to follow their normal routine, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, or any special instructions, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away.

About: I am a very reliable animal lover. If I am taking care of your pet during the day you can be assured of a healthy safe walk and lots of love and play. If kitties are home lots of purring, fresh water and fun toy playing. If an overnight is requested your pets will be safe, loved and well cared for. Your home will be protected and in good hands. I have experience in overnight house/pet sitting. I worked for the VP of Southern Bell at his home and had a wonderful experience. Animals have been a passion since I was young. I am an interior design major and have the utmost respect for homes, families and pets. I look forward to helping you knowing your home and pets are in trustworthy loving hands.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and love all animals. I’m taking a professional break and would love to take care of your pets. I’m currently taking a professional break from my career and will be available for walks and visits most weekdays when I’m not traveling or taking care of my own dog. I have a fenced in backyard where my own 80-lb doodle loves to play. I have one indoor cat who roams our home freely. I can welcome dogs into our home for daycare who are comfortable with a playmate.

About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for my own dog for several years, including feeding, walking, basic training, playtime, and keeping up with daily routines. I’ve also dog-sat before, so I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s normal schedule and make them feel comfortable while their owner is away. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable around different pet personalities, and I always pay close attention to behavior, safety, and any special instructions. * Monday: 1:30 PM–6:30 PM * Tuesday: 11:00 AM–1:00 PM and 4:30 PM onward * Wednesday: 1:30 PM–6:30 PM * Thursday: 11:00 AM–4:00 PM * Friday: 11:00 AM onward * Saturday: open/flexible * Sunday: unavailable I care for pets by following their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, especially when meeting them for the first time. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety points are secure, and I always respect the client’s home and belongings. I also like to give owners updates so they know their pet is safe, comfortable, and being well cared for.

“Katrina was great with my senior kitty and always gave him lots of snuggles. She provided lots of pictures as well. I’d use Katrina again when I’m out of town!”

“I highly recommend Taylor. She did a great job with my large, high-energy dogs and two cats while we were away. Thank you so much Taylor!”

About: Pets have been a big part of my life, and I know the difference between a pet who is just being watched and one who is truly cared for. I currently share my home with a cat, so daily care is second nature to me: feeding on schedule, fresh water, clean litter boxes, and the small routines cats count on.Especially Anxious (i know when your gargoyle wants to lurk-and when the rubs are needed. I’ve had two dogs, and both taught me a lot. My first, Ed, was an 80-pound American Foxhound rescued as a suspected abandoned hunting dog who had never lived indoors. Together we worked through house training, leash manners (no more yanking), a fear of stairs (which involved carrying him up three flights until he stopped being scared), and a distaste for rain. His name was not what he was rescued with, but he was clearly always an Ed. With my second dog, Kovu, I spent a lot of time on socialization with other dogs and on keeping him calm and quiet when left alone. Because of that, I’m patient with nervous, rigid, big dogs, and dogs still learning the rules. I know that consistency and a calm presence go a long way. All Creatures Welcome! Friends have long turned to me for help with their pets, whether furry, scaly, feathered, or creepy-crawly. I’m happy to talk through any pet’s needs, so ask me about yours. I’d love to meet you and your pet before booking. Send me a message and tell me about them! I am a remote worker with a need for reliable wifi more than happy to drop-in, sleepover, or sit for a while with my laptop on your couch. Clear updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away Strict adherence to your pet’s feeding, medication, and walking routines A calm, patient approach tailored to your pet’s personality

About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I grew up with two dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I've cared for family members' dogs, including senior dogs with health conditions that required administering daily medications and providing extra patience and attention. I've also helped care for friends' young puppies, reinforcing potty training, maintaining routines, and giving them plenty of playtime and affection. I understand how important consistency, communication, and trust are when leaving your pet with someone else. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a calm companion, or a little extra care due to age or medical needs, I'm committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Also I WORK FROM HOME, makes day caring for your little ones easier. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I work from home!! This helps with me being able to give your little one all the care and attention they need, so you can have peace of mind. I have a pet friendly condo where there are plenty of dog spots to walk and play with your loved one. I can crate a schedule around what they’re used to.

About: As a devoted dog mom to my 12.5-year-old Maltipoo, Theodore, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Having cared for Theodore throughout every stage of his life, I have firsthand experience with senior dogs and understand the extra patience, attention, and gentle care they may need as they age. I know every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll treat your pet with the same kindness, care, and attention I give my own! Whether you need someone for regular walks, drop-in visits, or extra companionship while you're away, I'd love to help! Send me a message so we can chat about your pet's needs and how I can give you peace of mind knowing they're in loving hands. While I work full time during the week, I make time in my schedule to provide loving, reliable care for your furry family members! I'm available for weekend boarding, as well as dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week before or after work. Depending on your location, I may also be able to do visits during my lunch break. My own dog, Theodore, is free to roam the living room while I'm at work rather than being confined to a crate - your dog can do the same if you want. I also have an indoor pet camera that allows me to check in on him throughout the day, giving me extra peace of mind when I'm away. I live in a one bedroom apartment, there isn't a fence but there is an onsite dog park. I don't have children, so my home is generally quiet and free from the noise and activity of a busy household, making it especially welcoming for pets who prefer a more relaxed atmosphere, including senior dogs. I care for pets by making sure they get regular walks, meals on their usual schedule, fresh water every day, plenty of attention, and, of course, lots of cuddles and love (if they enjoy them!). I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and routines, so I always tailor my care to their individual needs. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely to keep their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: As a proud dog parent to my pup, Ollie, for the past 6 years, I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member! While Ollie is currently staying with my parents as I settle into the DMV area, I’m excited to share that same love and attention with other pets. I’m especially great with energetic, playful dogs who love staying active, whether that means long walks, outdoor adventures, or plenty of playtime! I also enjoy working with puppies and reinforcing basic training commands like sit, stay, and come through patience and positive reinforcement. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each dog’s unique personality, energy level, and routine. Whether your pup needs extra exercise, a little structure, or just lots of love and companionship, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I treat every dog like my own and believe in keeping pet parents updated with photos, communication, and peace of mind! I offer a flexible schedule to accommodate busy pet parents! During the week, I’m available for early morning visits and walks before 8 AM, as well as evenings after 5 PM.

Whether you need consistent weekly care, weekend help, or someone reliable during holiday travel, I’m happy to help keep your pup loved, active, and well cared for! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! As a dog parent myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member.

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all established routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (when instructed), and any specific care needs. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, pets are supervised appropriately, and their environment remains clean and comfortable. I also believe communication is key!
