“Ashley is an absolute gem of a pet sitter! From the moment we connected, she was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. My fellows felt completely comfortable with her, and I could tell from the daily updates and photos that he was getting all the love, attention, and care he needed. Ashley went above and beyond, ensuring my pup was happy, well-fed, and exercised. I truly appreciated her reliability and dedication. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for your furry friend, Ashley is the one to choose! Highly recommend!"”

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”

About: I treat every pet like family, patient, observant, and caring. I may be new, but I come with love, responsibility, and a pocket of treats Working full time with reduced summer hours, plus weekends & holidays off, I’m available to offer consistent, caring attention and companionship for your pets! :) Pets in my care have access to walking paths, a dog park, a wash station, and designated potty areas. Crate-trained pups are welcome! I keep communication clear because guessing games are for pets, not pet parents

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, and take care of their pets while away. I am currently postgrad and looking for a job so will have plenty of time to take care of your pets in my spare time. I will make sure your pets are safe when taken on walks, kept away from cars and other animals, and on a leash the whole time.

“Kelly is an amazing pet sitter! Very patient and understanding with my loud, reactionary chihuahua mix. She’s the only sitter I feel confident leaving my dog with!”

“Thank you for being available at such short notice, thank you for being adaptable. Much appreciated!”

About: See animal sections below as they apply to your fur-family 🤗💕 Cats: I have owned multiple cats at a time for my entire life. I currently have 3, including a recent car-rescue kitten! I have experience administering eye and oral medications. Your litter boxes & the surrounding area (if you have a crazy-coverer like I do! 🤣) will be extra clean. I love giving kitties love & affection, or tiring them out with their favorite toy - totally dependent on their personality and needs! 🤩 Dogs: I have owned dogs most of my life as well, ranging in size from a Dachshund to a Rottweiler (all breeds are loved here 🥰). I am happy to go for walks, or just handle bathroom & food times for your pup(s)! 🤩 Misc.: I have experience pet-sitting for horses and birds. I also have personal experience owning turtles and fish. Any pet will be treated like family with me - my only exception is spiders… (sorry arachnid lovers 🤣) I do work full-time so my availability may be limited at times, but when I am with your pet(s) they will have my undivided attention- and you will receive lots of photos (unless requested otherwise) 🥳💕 Can’t wait to meet your fur-family 😍 I work full time, so pet-sitting will occur after my regular work hours or on the weekends! I am very flexible on weekends, and will have limited flexibility during the week. I will treat pets & homes as if they were my own. I understand some pets may get restless when their owner is away - and I am happy to clean up any messes that may come from this. I will be sure the home is left in the same, if not a better, condition compared to when I arrived. I also will make sure the pets are left feeling sleepy & with a full belly after so much love and attention!

“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.

“Noelle was wonderful and I felt comfortable having her in my home and around my fur-baby! She was very responsive and sent pictures along the way! Definitely will rebook :)”

“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: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace. I’ve owned breeds with bold personalities, including my current Airedale Terrier, Elvis, who definitely keeps things lively. My Scottish Terrier, Scarlett, was one of the best dogs I’ve ever had—loyal, loving, and full of charm. While I don’t offer in-home boarding due to having young children, I specialize in reliable drop-in visits and dog walks. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a walk to burn off some energy, or some companionship while you're away, I provide thoughtful, personalized care tailored to their needs. I’m calm, patient, and tuned in to what each dog needs to feel safe and happy. I treat every pet like family and always provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a pet owner myself, I’m already used to structured walks, feeding schedules, and giving dogs the attention and exercise they need throughout the day. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan visits and walks. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and comfortable. I understand that dogs feel most secure in familiar surroundings, so I follow your instructions closely to make sure things like feeding, walks, and playtime happen just the way your pet expects. I always check that doors and gates are secure, make sure your pet has fresh water, and keep a close eye on their behavior and energy during each visit. Whether it’s a slow-paced walk for a senior dog or a game of fetch in the yard, I take the time to meet your pet’s specific needs. Trust and communication are important to me. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you are away.
