“Diana has been taking care of our 3 cats for over a year now, and always treats them the best. Besides feeding and cleaning litter boxes, she plays with them and makes sure they get attention while she is there. Cats like her, and we always have peace of mind when Diana is watching them.”
“We ABSOLUTELY couldn't have asked for anyone better to take care of our baby. He warmed up to her so fast which showed us we found the perfect person. Denisa goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is taken care of, happy, and comforted while your gone. We got amazingly detailed updates with lots of pictures every day. I knew he was in great hands. I felt so at ease.”
“Anna was very reliable and took great care of my fur baby.”
“Ashley was absolutely excellent in caring for our kitties! Truthfully, I was anxious leaving them for over a week, but her communication and kindness throughout our travels assured me they were in good hands. Ashley took time to send thorough updates and lots of pictures, and was understanding of the unique needs of our three very different cats. One is particularly nervous and Ashley showed extra care in making sure she got food and attention. All three kitties were happy and healthy upon our return. Highly recommend Ashley for your cat and pet sitting needs!”
“Lauren was great! I needed a last minute walk for my golden retriever and she was super responsive. We set up a quick meet and greet and she was flexible and easy to work with. She sent updates and pictures of my pup during their walk. I will definitely use Lauren again!”
“Grace was a great sitter. She took care of my cats with care & was really accommodating with me throughout this whole experience. Thank you!!!”
“She was so nice and friendly with my dog! Thank you Ashly!”
“Taylor was absolutely amazing with our boys, we have worked with her in the past and look forward to working with her in the future. Thank you so much we highly recommend her services to anyone! 🙏☀️🥹”
About: Hi! I'm Kay, a proud Army veteran and lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for a wide variety of pets. I have personally cared for dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs and fish. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I have experience with senior cats and dogs as well as experience with medication administration. I used to have three Siberian huskies, and am comfortable with active, large dogs as well as small dogs. Whether you need a quick visit, daily walk, boarding, or part-time house sitting, I offer reliable, compassionate service tailored to your pet's unique needs. I'm also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family members are safe, comfortable, and loved. I am available during the weekdays and most weekends to maximize time spent with your loved ones. For doggy daycare, I will be onsite most of the day, leaving for errands (when required) no more than 30 min at a time. I can ensure multiple potty breaks during the day, offer playtime, and walks for exercise. For house sitting I can guarantee large chunks of time (up to 2 hours) during a visit, up to four times a day including a late night check-in (as late as 10pm) and early morning check-in (as early as 6am) but typically do not stay full time or overnight. Willing to discount house sitting pricing for multiple animals in the home. For boarding I will be onsite most of the day, but could be gone up to four hours at a time on occasion. I have a friendly, active, Labrador to keep your pet company. There are also two caged ferrets in the home that are kept separate from all boarded animals. Even though we do not have a fenced yard, I can guarantee at least two walks a day and multiple play times to help burn energy. We have baby gates in the house to help keep your pet safe and secure. I also have a safe space for cat boarding and other pets that need to be keep separate.
“Great with the our animals and communicating with us. We were very happy with her work and would definitely use her again”
“Deanna provided great care for my kitten, Boots! He can be a handful as he’s only 10 weeks old and she took great care of him and had a positive attitude with all of the kitten energy! She and her roommate were very helpful with transporting all of his supplies and making boarding an ease. She was very responsive when I texted. I would recommend Deanna for all of your kitten and pet needs!”
“Kelly was absolutely amazing. I am so glad I found her. She was very communicative and responsive. She dropped in on my cat Lucy frequently over the course of 3 weeks and everything was taken care of. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her in the future!”
“My boys (cats) are so fond of her. Her visiting them each day really puts my mind at ease. I know that while I'm away they are happy and being taken care of within their own environment. Lexa is great with communication throughout the day and always sends super cute photos!”
“Thank you for being available at such short notice, thank you for being adaptable. Much appreciated!”
“Thank you sooo much for walking our dog!!! We appreciate you for being available on a moments notice!!”
“Night recommend JeQa. He took excellent care of our 145lbs German Shepherd, and our home. JeQa maintained communication with us throughout or trip and provided daily summaries. Our Dog loved him!”
About: I grew up with a Border Terrier and have been pet sitting for 4 years as an adult. I have only had cats as an adult, but I appreciate that all dogs and cats have unique personalities and needs. I love making friends with dogs and making sure that they are OK when their people are away. I have a particular way with and affinity for anxious dogs, but I'm as happy throwing a ball for a young, large dog as I am cuddling on the couch with a senior dog. As a pet mom myself, I am very sensitive to the needs and quirks of each family and pet, and I am honored to be trusted with your family member(s) in your home. I have experience administering medication orally and have cared for animals with health challenges. I have strong attention to detail and notice changes in behavior or health quickly, and will consult with you on how to respond. I'm communicative and conscientious and I already love your dog. I will follow your pet's schedule and ensure that they are walked or have access to the outdoors regularly, in addition to giving all-important meals and play time on schedule. I will change my schedule to accommodate your pet's needs. I am available to house-sit in the Woodbridge/Lake Ridge/Occoquan/Lorton area and to do drop-in visits and walks on a flexible schedule. When I am in someone else's home, I consider it a real honor to be trusted with that sacred space, and I do all I can to ensure that I leave it as I found it, if not cleaner. I am happy to water plants or complete other household tasks as necessary. Because of the logistics and discomfort involved in sleeping overnight in your home, my rate is significantly higher for this service. I am also able to host dogs in my home if they are up to date on their flea and tick prevention medication and do a meet and greet with my cat ahead of time. If your dog does not get along with cats but you want to utilize this service, I can keep him separated from my cat at all times. I do not have a yard for your dog so I will need to follow a walk schedule.
“Kristina has watched my dog and cat on multiple occasions now. It’s always a pleasure to have her help us out. We enjoy the photos and updates she sends!”
About: Since I was little we've had all kinds of animals, mostly dogs. My mother was a dog trainer for over 10 years and has been a dog breeder for over 10 years now. I have always been by her side at training sessions or even delivering little puppies. With that I've gained a lot of knowledge especially about dogs! Back in Germany I had my own dogs, they are currently staying with my mom. I did puppy classes with them, agility and more. The best time for me to take care of your pet is in the late afternoons during the week. On the weekends I am available Saturdays and Sundays. I am not able to care for your pet in my own home. I will follow your rules and instructions since it is your pet you will know what is best for them.

Michelle P.
“My Daughter always has been great with all kinds of Animals. I used to be a dog trainer and am now a breeder. I always used to take her with me to when I trained dogs. You would always see her running around and playing with all different kinds of dogs, no matter size or age. In her life she has been bitten twice by dogs but does not fail to still trust them like it never happened. She does always come into every situation with respect to the animal. She is actually the reason why I babe s breeder. At a dog show she saw a Sheltie and immediately fell in love. So we got her one and that is how I started my breeder journey. She has been on my side the whole time, no matter if it was taking out and her dog for a walk, feeding or taking care while I’m not there. Even helping while my dogs were pregnant or the delivery of the puppies. She was always a helping hand. She’s not only good with dogs but also our cats. And again she was the reason why we got cats. Besides that she also always had a heart for Reptiles as well. There you can see that she always had a passion for Animals and taking care of them. And I am sure she’ll take good and loving care for yours as well!”
