About: I have been pet sitting since I was 15 and absolutely love to watch or walk others animals. I am able to walk during the day. I am currently looking for a job and DoorDash and Instacart on my free time. I am able to walk and/or check on them throughout the day. With respect and courtesy. If I am at someone else’s home I make sure to clean up after myself of necessary along with making sure the animals are as comfortable as possible.

About: I love spending time with our three dogs! Indoors or out, year round we are sure to consider the needs of our dogs as we would our own. We are lucky to live in a neighborhood that offers a variety of parks, and walking paths. With my full time job being minutes from home, I am available virtually all day long. I belong to Cherry Creek dog park and routinely visit on the weekends. Often I will travel to day hike at parks that allow for new adventures! In my home there is endless love to be shared with your dog during his/her stay. My youngest child is 13 (minor) and would always be supervised with the care and interaction of your dog. I appreciate open communication and welcome you praise or concern. I hope you will consider my home your dogs home away from home.

“I appreciate Corinne taking the time to take care of our fur babies. We got home to relaxed pups, which means the world to us.”

About: Hi! My name is Meredith and have grown up caring for dog breeds such as German shepherds, labs, corgis, and schnauzers. I am comfortable around any breed! I also have experience caring for indoor & outdoor cats and can follow whatever protocol you need to keep them happy and healthy! I’m currently home for the summer from college and taking an online class while working remotely. I coach volleyball on Monday and Wednesday evenings but I’d still be available for visits before and after! I’m really available at all times as long as we can communicate expectations! I do not offer pet care in my home to protect my pet rabbits who are free-roam. However, in your home, I will follow all protocol you ask me to complete while providing many pets and cuddles and whatever playtime they love! It is important to keep your pet’s brain stimulated, especially when they are anxious because their owner is away!

“Gabby has come over to take our dog Mishi out for a walk a number of times now and we are very pleased. She is always on time, responsible and takes great care of Mishi. We would strongly recommend her to take care of your dog.”

About: I’ve had 13 years of pet care experience, including walking, bathing, and grooming! We’re very interactive with the pets, with at least one family member home at all times. I am currently at a law firm in Fairfax. I will be home in the mornings and evenings every day, with flexible availability. I can come to you anywhere in the Warrenton/Marshall/Bealeton/Gainesville area. We have a fenced-in yard and crating available (if requested or necessary for your pet). We have a young Golden Retriever who loves to play and swim in the pool! If the pool will be an issue for your pup, we will avoid the backyard and stick to walks & the front yard!

“Amazing experience from the beginning! Suzanna was friendly, attentive and communicative. She was extremely patient with Tucker even when he didn’t want to walk and always made sure he was comfortable before leaving. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will be reaching out to her again for sure!”

About: What sets me apart as a dog walker and pet sitter is my deep passion for dogs and my commitment to their well-being. I bring several special skills to the table that make me an exceptional choice for your furry friend: Puppy Training Expertise: I have extensive experience in training puppies, helping them develop into well-behaved and socialized dogs. Whether it's basic obedience commands, leash training, or potty training, I can provide the guidance and consistency needed to nurture your puppy's growth. Senior Dog Care: I understand the unique needs of senior dogs, including mobility issues, dietary restrictions, and the importance of gentle exercise. I'm equipped to offer the extra care and attention required to ensure their comfort and happiness. Tailored Exercise Programs: I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to dog walking. I'll customize exercise routines to suit your dog's age, breed, and energy level, ensuring they get the right amount of physical and mental stimulation during our walks. Safety First: Your pet's safety is my top priority. I'm certified in pet first aid and CPR, and I use the latest safety equipment and best practices during walks. Rest assured, your dog will be in capable hands. Love and Affection: Beyond the skills and training, what truly sets me apart is the genuine love and affection I have for all dogs. I treat each furry companion as if they were my own, providing not only physical care but also emotional support and companionship. Flexible Scheduling: I understand that life can be unpredictable, so I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your dog's needs and your busy lifestyle. Whether it's a daily walk or occasional pet sitting, I'm here to make your life easier. When you choose me as your dog walker and pet sitter, you're not just hiring someone to take care of your dog; you're gaining a dedicated, knowledgeable, and caring partner who will go the extra mile to ensure your pet's happiness and well-being. I am working full-time position from home and am looking to use my time in the evenings and weekends to help other pets get their exercise and gain enrichment. I walk my own dogs during my lunch break on the weekdays and take them for longer walks to the creek on the weekends. For Dog Walking Services in the client's home: Meet and Greet: Before any service begins, I like to schedule a meet and greet with the client and their pet(s). This helps me get to know the pet's personality, any specific needs or quirks they have, and allows the client to feel comfortable with me. Leash Walks: During the scheduled walk, I ensure that the dog gets the exercise they need. Walks are tailored to the dog's energy level and physical abilities. I always carry waste disposal bags to clean up after the dog. Fresh Water and Treats: I make sure to provide fresh water for the dog after the walk, and if allowed by the client, I may offer treats as a reward for good behavior. Safety and Supervision: While in my care, safety is paramount. I keep a watchful eye on the dog, ensuring they stay on a leash and away from potential hazards. For Pet Sitting Services in the client's home: Daily Visits: I visit the client's home as many times as required to ensure the pet's comfort. This typically includes feeding, changing water, and providing companionship. Medication Administration: If the pet requires medication, I follow the client's instructions precisely, ensuring the pet receives their medication on time. Playtime and Exercise: I engage in playtime activities with the pet to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. This could involve playing fetch, puzzle toys, or just some cuddle time. Regular Updates: I keep the client informed by sending updates and photos of their pet, giving them peace of mind while they're away.

About: Lifelong animal lover excited to meet your furry family member! My experience with dogs runs deep. I grew up surrounded by five Lab mixes and have spent summers fostering for the Pet Connect rescue. Also, in college I worked at a veterinary clinic, so I have experience working with many different breeds. Currently, I’m the proud "boy mom" to two amazing pups: a Toy Poodle and a Cockapoo. I work from home and I'm a graduate student (online), so your baby will be with me a majority of the time. I am so excited to meet your pup! I work remotely, and I am currently in graduate school (online). I spend a lot of time at home! I rarely leave my boys home alone more than a few hours at a time. They get a lot of potty breaks throughout the day. I have a fenced in backyard, it is also fully turfed. Very safe and secure. I am happy to crate your pet when left alone or at night for safety. I have a dog stroller if your pup is too old to go on longer walks, or gets tired easily, but still enjoys time outside.

About: As a passionate pet lover, I’ve dedicated myself to providing reliable and compassionate care for pets of all ages. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I understand the unique needs of puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets. Whether it's a playful puppy needing attention and training, or a senior pet requiring gentle care and special attention, I’m committed to ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I pride myself on my personal, hands-on approach and always treat your pets like family. With 5 dogs of my own, I’ve developed a well-organized routine that ensures all their needs are met. I feed my dogs twice a day, and each one gets plenty of playtime, walks, and potty breaks. Whether it's keeping up with their daily exercise or giving them personal attention, I’m used to managing multiple pets and ensuring they feel happy, healthy, and loved. I bring this same level of care and dedication to every pet I look after. I prioritize the safety and comfort of every pet I care for, whether in my home or yours. My home is pet-friendly and designed to ensure a safe environment for dogs of all sizes. I make sure that all pets are kept in secure areas, especially during feeding times and walks. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your pet's routine, follow any special instructions, and maintain a clean, safe space. I also ensure that any areas where pets will be spending time are pet-proofed, offering peace of mind while you’re away.

“Diane was great with my pup. He's very sweet but can also be a grumpy old man. Diane found the perfect medium to keep him happy so he wasn't pouty at us when we got home. Def recommend and will be using her again..”

About: As a result of growing up on a horse farm, caring for animals is almost second nature. I have professional experience in dog-walking and pet-sitting with Affectionate Pet Care in Fairfax, VA. I've also provided senior care to my family dog, helped raise and train our new puppy, and have extensive experience in dog and cat sitting for friends and coworkers. I am a college student on summer break, so my schedule is extremely flexible until early September! I'm available for overnight visits as well if necessary. Unless there is a fenced in yard or electric fence, I always keep pets on a leash when outside. Additionally I always take extra care when opening and closing doors when leaving in case of attempted "escapes"! I am more than happy to crate pets before I leave upon request.

About: I have loved dogs and pets for as long as I can remember! I have never gone longer than a few months without a dog in my life and don't think I ever will. I am a 6th grade teacher during the school year, but am looking to help families who do not have the luxury of summers off to create a fun, healthy, and loving experience for their pets during the work day. I have experience taking care of dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages: from puppies (8 weeks) to elderly (16 years). I have had Chihuahuas, terriers, English Bulldogs, labs, Bull Mastiffs, Shih Tzus, Dobermans and am currently a proud owner of a 3 year old Olde English Bulldog named Luna. I can promise you that with me, your pets will have one more person that loves and cares for them as much as you do! I am currently off for the summer, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I am available early mornings through early evenings for drop-ins or walks. I always like to do a meet and greet with every client and their pup(s) to ensure all needs will be met for the dog and owner. As I am coming to your home, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and feel safe entrusting me with the care of your pet!
