Pet Sitting in Potomac Falls

“My husband and I have been relying on Lissa for the past year for dog waking and check ins! My puppy can be shy and nervous but he does so well with Lissa! Lissa is flexible and very communicative. I love getting an update on how my puppy is doing after her drop in visits. 100% recommend her, she’s the very best!”

“Huckleberry was so excited to see Corinne after our meet and greet! Corinne was kind to Huck and gave him extra water and pets after his second walk of the day! Corinne genuinely likes animals and she was kind enough to accommodate my ever-changing schedule. Thanks Corinne !”

“Becky is wonderful! She came for a drop in to walk our family dog and was so sweet, patient, and loving to him. She left us a detailed note of their time together and was really easy to contact prior. Wish she lived closer so we could keep having her come!”

“Ashley has been so good to Dozer. She is his weekly companion for lunch time walks. She is quick to respond and communicates when she has a scheduling conflict. We have enjoyed Dozer's pics for every walk. Thank you Ashley!”

“Kelly came to the rescue to checkin on our 2 pups with short notice, and they just love her! She's very communicative and so thoughtful to make sure each dog gets lots of attention.”

“Amy is our favorite, trusted person to care for our quirky kitty when we have to go out of town. We can go on vacation and fully relax knowing that Amy will be taking the best care of our fur baby for us.”

“Christina did a wonderful job! Our cat can be very shy so the fact that she let her pet her the first time they met must mean Christina is an absolute natural! I also appreciate how much time she spent with our kitty.”

“Great with all animals! She sends all the good pictures and has great communication. Would highly recommend for all of your pets and will be using again!”

“Elle was fantastic with our two cats, one of which takes multiple oral medications twice a day and the other who is beyond anti social. She handled both of their needs with complete professionalism and gave thorough daily updates. She is reliable, responds extremely quickly, and ensures everything is in order before and after visits.”

“Lena did a great job looking after our two cats. I really appreciated that she came early in the morning and in the evening and came at consistent times.”

“Victoria has been walking Ivy for on and off the last 2 years. She's super friendly, always on time and the most important always has been my go to for last minute life changes in scheduling. She's always available in the evenings and weekends which she's become my life saver many times.”

“Cameron was great! She did a meet and greet with us which made us both feel more comfortable and then had no issues taking care of our cat. She’s also very communicative and responds quickly!”

“Eden is very punctual and attentive when sitting for our pets. There are no last minute, "something came up" cancelations from her, and the little furry ones love her. She is our go to choice and we highly recommend her to all our friends”

“Maria was great with our dog who has separation anxiety. She was very sweet and our dog loved her!”

“Alex is awesome! He took great care of Max & Zoey during our long weekend. Arrived on time, took them for long walks, played with them, fed them and sent lots of pics :-). He was easy to communicate with and kept in touch with us if he had any questions. Overall he is just a really nice, easygoing and responsible person. Most importantly, the dogs loved him! We will definitely use Alex again!”

“My cats, Cinders and Pepper, were pampered by Paige, and they can't wait to have her back! They took an immediate liking to her and were in good hands under her care. Paige followed all care instructions, gave each cat affection, and did an amazing job cleaning up. I would definitely book her again!”

“Abby has been walking our two dogs for some years now. They love her, have from the first moment, and it’s hard to tell whether she’s having more fun or they are. Abby has done other work for us too and shes no nonsense, punctual and get the job done she comes from a whole family of responsible people. She’s gonna do great at this job”

“Sasha provided exceptional care for our two cats while we were away. She not only followed my sometimes ridiculous instructions with patience and diligence but also went above and beyond by offering valuable cat photography pointers. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals truly shone through in her work. We highly recommend Sasha to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

About: ***THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS AVAILABILITY*** For Thanksgiving and Christmas we will be travelling. We cannot accept requests unfortunately during this time. We are able to book requests starting the second week of January and a few limited days in the beginning of December. I have been surrounded by dogs, cats and other animals (chickens, rabbits, etc) my entire life. I currently have two dogs- a young Australian Shepherd and a shepherd/Mastiff mix named Bowie. So if your dog likes to play with other dogs, we have you covered!! We also have a baby boy- so our dogs are consistently around children. 😊 Also, I have in past had a senior chihuahua who passed from Congestive Heart Failure at age 14 and a Westie that passed at age 18 from kidney failure. For both dogs, I gained a lot of experience in past with medication management. My aussie is a year old so I know the ins and outs of puppy care as well as the importance of training and being consistent with what you want enforced. Bowie is a docile angel but still playful. Both dogs are up to date on vaccines and are regularly seen by their vet. I am currently working on dog first aid certifications. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and have previously volunteered with animal shelters a few years back. Friends and family consistently ask for me to take care of their own pets while they're out of town or when they're busy. You can expect your dogs/cats to receive lots of affection and attention in my care. Nothing makes me happier than making sure the animals I interact with are happy and excited to see me. If they like fetch or tug of war, or just meandering around and sniffing, I will ensure that they get the enrichment they want. We also have the space to separate dogs or keep them separated if you prefer, as well as gates to ensure this happens. I work full time from home. My meetings fluctuate during the week so feel free to ask. For reoccurring walks/drop ins, I can easily block that time off on my work calendar. With my own pup, we go on at least two walks per day totalling an hour to 1.5 hours each day. One walk is a "sniffari" where she takes the lead on determining where we go. The other is a structured training walk meant to enforce leash manners. Rosé and I play together roughly every two hours for about 15 to 30 minutes. This largely depends on what she wants! This is either fetch, catch or tug-of-war. She also gets a lot of mental stimulation- snufflemats, kongs, training. You name it, we probably work on it. Your pup will be integrated into our home and family and will partake in all and every activities I do with my dogs on a regular basis. They have full access to jump on furniture and our beds to snuggle with us at night **if they choose** and if you are okay with that. Dogs will not have access to exits unless on a lead. They are blocked off. While in our care, they will have a GPS tracker on them. We have never had an escape and we take precautions to ensure that. We are never gone for more than four hours at a time, but if Jens-Peter & I both leave, your dog will be safely crated in our living room with water accessible. For the most part, they will always have an adult with them. In the event of an emergency, please ensure you have informed your dogs vet that they are in my care and authorize me bringing them in. For true emergencies, I will likely bring them to The Life Center in Leesburg unless you specify otherwise. On walks, even if your dog is extremely friendly, we will not allow other dogs, children or adults to approach and pet them -- we take your dogs security and safety extremely safely and we do not know those approaching. No children will be left unsupervised around dogs (our nephews are older and visit frequently and we have a toddler). If we feel your dog at any point is getting overwhelmed and needs to be removed for their comfort and for human safety, they will be relocated to a safe spot in the house for a few minutes so that way they can recooperate. Like humans, sometimes even dogs need a little bit of alone time and we understand that. Furthermore, dogs will be fed separately from each other. If your dog is a grazer, we will try to accomodate but we cannot leave food down all day. We will offer it at several points in the day (usually every two hours) for about 20 minutes at a time. We also will not - even if provided - give dogs rawhide chews. Any bully sticks we use will be provided in a bully buddy and tossed once the bully stick is small enough.

“I left her with my two dogs for a week and she was great with them they were showered well like asked and fed. My dogs loved her I definitely will be taking them to her again! I recommend her”
