About: Since a young age, I had always been the go to person for my friends, family, and often times neighbors as well for pet-sitting. From care-taking for a friends tortoise for over 8 years, to having a rabbit, birds, dogs, and more myself, leads me to have such a deep rooted passion and interest for care-taking, spending time, and bonding with all ranges of sizes and ages of pets! As of right now, I am dedicated to being available as often and frequent as possible for pet-sitting, walking, and/or care taking. My current schedule outside of these things are very flexible for now, so if ever needed, please send a direct message and we can work things out! I have a lot of previous experience in caring for all kinds of animals with a ranging variety of needs, whether a senior animal who needs more attention, carefulness, and patience; or a small puppy who is exploding with energy and needs to direct it elsewhere! Any notes, tips, and personal preferences are always appreciated as well when it comes to your pet and how they need to be cared for. (:

About: I've been around animals my entire life, growing up with dogs since I was 7 and having seven dogs throughout my family's life. My experience extends beyond dogs to cats, horses, cows, chickens, and pigs, so I'm comfortable around a variety of animals. I have most recently been trusted with helping my dear friend potty train and babysit her adorable 3 month old daushaund. I currently have a 5-year-old pit-bull dog, which has given me even more hands-on experience caring for and understanding dogs. We love to take long walks and visit the dog park. Due to some medical needs that my pup has, I have experience providing medications and applying skin care as needed. I know that every pet has their own needs and routine and I want every animal to feel safe and loved. I currently work 3, 12-hour shifts a week which allows for plenty of time to care for pups on my four days off from working. I make sure pets have a secure environment, use appropriate leashes and toys, and pay attention to their behavior and surroundings to ensure safe/proper care.

About: My experience started when i was about 14. I started watching family dogs and cats for money and it slowly became a passion. I work now at a dog resort which has daycare, boarding, bathing, and is now adding training. There I do bathing services, doggy daycare, feeding, administering medication. And that includes Cats as well. My aunt fosters cats/kittens and I have raised 2 dogs starting at month 3 as my grandpa adopted puppies. I helped and have experience with both little puppies and kittens. I love animals so much. I am super happy with this passion and hope to experience and learn more in the future. And am excited to work with you! I work currently at a Resort facility who works with both cats and dogs. And our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your pets. I work day to day in that facility walking, feeding, medicating, and so much more. I have learned so much about animal behavior and have a pet of my own at home who I take care of day to day. So i work with pets daily. It will depend on what service you are looking for. I can do a basic bath for your pet in your home. (No nail trimming, and you would provide the bath and products you would like used.) For Boarding, either coming to me or me coming to you I can provide playtimes, long/short walks, administration of medication, litter-box cleaning, and more. For walks I can do walks in the neighborhood or take your dog to a dog park! And so much more! I am open to suggestions and ideas of what I can add/offer!

“Punctual and reliable. Timely communication and attention to detail. We (dog included!) are very happy with her daily dog walks so far.”

“100% would recommend Christin to anyone! She is so professional and kind, the dogs love her. Such a sweet, responsible, courteous person., I cannot say enough good things about her!”

About: I have three large dogs & two goats! I also work full time at a local veterinary clinic. I will love your pets as my own! I can help take care of livestock animals as well! I currently work Monday through Thursday from 8am to 6pm. I am available after 6pm Monday through Thursday or anytime Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Thank you! I will treat your home with the up most respect and will be sure to take care of your furry family member's just as well as you all do!

About: We have lived with both dogs and cats, plus fish and hamsters, through our entire lives and we look forward to making new pet friends. Hilary: As a home-school mom of teens and young adults I have a flexible schedule so I can work walks and pet check-ins around our other daytime activities. Scott: Semi retired and home based for business, my schedule is flexible. Having pets ourselves, we understand they do best in familiar environments. By caring for them in their own homes it should ease any stress they may have at an owner’s absence.

“Anastasia was wonderful! We did an initial meet and greet and from the very beginning, she was great with communication. She was always timely for picking up our our, Barkley, and I think our dog really started looking forward to her coming! Thanks for everything!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and horses of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and cuddle their pets. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I’m confident handling everything from senior pups to energetic puppies. I treat every animal like they’re my own, with patience, love, and consistency. I currently work full-time Monday–Friday, but I’m up early every day and have afternoons and weekends open for pet care! I’m available for walks after 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, anytime after 2 p.m. on Fridays, and fully available on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. Your pet will be in caring, responsible hands with me! I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their comfort and safety. I follow all client instructions carefully and keep pets on their regular routine. Cleanliness, respect for your home, and lots of love are guaranteed!

“Darlin was fantastic! Wonderful communicator, very professional, right on time, and our 8 month old puppy loved her. We will definitely have her back. Highly recommend! Thanks Darlin!”

About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs, starting when I was 12 years old. I have also taken several basic dog training classes, where I learned commands such as sit, down, paw, heel, no pull, and wait. During walks, I regularly practice these commands to help dogs remember them over time and improve their behavior on the leash. What sets me apart is my patience, dedication, and attention to detail. I carefully watch the dogs throughout every walk to keep them safe, prevent them from eating things they shouldn’t, and make sure they stay away from dangerous areas near the road. I also pay attention to their behavior and comfort, making sure they feel happy and relaxed. My goal is to give every dog a safe, enjoyable walk and treat them with the same love and care I would give my own dog. Since I am currently a student, I am available for pet care on weekdays after 12:30 PM. On weekends, I work in the morning, so I am available after 8:30 PM. I do my best to manage my schedule responsibly and make sure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I am happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that works best for both of us and their pets. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special needs their pets may have. During walks, I keep dogs on a leash, pay close attention to their surroundings, and prevent them from eating anything unsafe or approaching dangerous areas. I also make sure they have access to water and feel comfortable throughout the walk. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their home, keep everything clean, and make sure doors and gates are secure before leaving. I will also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Kimora was awesome! She communicated well and sent plenty of pictures to let me know my pup was happy and taken care of.”

About: We’re a pack of four - two dogs and two humans - and we’re always excited to welcome canine guests! Our 80 lb supermutt, Loki, and 60 lb pitty, Ginny, love visitors of all kinds (though so far, only humans and canines have been officially approved 😉). Our home is very dog-friendly, with plenty of toys and space to play including a fenced yard in the back. Your dog will be comfortable here, and we’re happy to accommodate any special needs to make their stay as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We offer overnight stays and only accept dogs who are house-trained. For everyone’s safety, guest dogs must be spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and friendly with other dogs. We can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐾 We usually walk outside in the neighborhood or up by the Cougar school in the wooded area 2 times a day. Dogs are not alone for more than 2-3 hours per day. We have a large fenced yard that is accessible from the deck/kitchen, locked and unless your dog is a real athlete that can jump a 6ft fence, very safe for them to hang. The finished basement level is also available for dog play in a pack or individually. Also comes in handy to separate any nervous dogs, as needed.

About: I have taken care of dogs since a young age and many friends and neighbors trusted me with their sweet pets especially dogs :) I have a sweet and caring relationship with dogs :) I’m currently working part time so I am very open to boarding, day sitting or even day walking Mon-Sundays and also during holidays. my schedule is very flexible ! Since I live in manassas , I would be very happy to offer a pick up and drop off services too in order for my customers to have a worry free timeline and also they can plan for their vacation or their plans without worrying about the transportation issue :) I have a very safe basement only dedicated to my furry friends with toys and also treats to enjoy . I have a fenced crate if my furry friends likes to use it also .

“Really liked meeting with Emily. She was super friendly and my dog hit it right off with her at the meet and greet. When she came to take care of my dog she was on time and left a great message with details about the walk. TOTALLY will be using her again and 100% recommend.”

I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your furry family member with someone you trust. I’ll follow your instructions closely and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾 My goal is to make your dog feel happy, safe, and right at home while you’re gone. I’d love to connect and learn more about your pup! 💛 I’m usually up early for the gym, so I’m comfortable with early-morning walks and care. I’m also available on weekends, when I enjoy taking long nature walks and would be happy to bring your dog along if they enjoy outdoor adventures. I live in a very spacious apartment with a balcony.

About: I've been caring and loving animals since I was a little girl. Have no fear your new 🐕 lover is here to make sure that they have the best care! My 14 year old daughter wanted a job and I just thought since she loves animals so much she could try out rover! She will be supervised but I just wanted to have something for her to do on her free time. Plus she could watch animals and earn money at the same time so its a win win! I am home most of the time during weekdays I will let you know if you contact me and I won't be available. I'm very flexible. If your dog need care I'll do my best to help you so you don't have to stress. I'm home full time. I have a fenced yard. Its dog parks close as well as trails for nice long walks and talks while I care for your pup.
