House Sitting Quantico

“Erica was fantastic with our two miniature wires hair dachshunds. She stayed at the home and kept our dogs company while we were away over the Thanksgiving week. She kept us updated through the week and took them for walks. We highly recommend her.”

“I recently hired Dominique as a dog sitter for the first time, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience! From the moment we met, Dominique exuded professionalism and warmth, which instantly put my mind at ease. She was incredibly attentive to my dogs’ needs and took the time to understand their personalities and quirks. I loved receiving regular updates and photos throughout her stay, which not only reassured me but also showed how much she cared for my pets. Dominique went above and beyond to ensure that my dogs were happy and comfortable, and it was clear they adored her. If you're looking for a reliable and friendly dog sitter, I highly recommend Dominique! She's truly a gem, and I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! Thank you, Dominique, for taking such great care of my furry babies!”

“Five stars is not enough for the incredible care our two fur babies received from Catherine K.! From start to finish, Catherine was exceptionally professional and made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication was outstanding, providing us with regular updates and wonderful photos that kept our minds at total ease while we were away. It was clear from the moment she took over that our cats were in safe, highly capable, and loving hands. Catherine went above and beyond to maintain their daily routines and allowed them their space to become comfortable with her. If you want absolute peace of mind and a sitter who treats your pets like family, look no further than Catherine K. We will absolutely be booking her again!”

“Elizabeth was so good with Artie! I appreciated all the photos and updates. The walks really helped to tire her out too, which was great when I got back home.”

“Melissa is a wonderful sitter and did an excellent job with our pup. She’s very attentive, communicative, and professional, and she went above and beyond. We would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone, and we’d love to have her care for our dog again!”

“Chris took great care of Maggie and my house. Chris sent us lots of pictures and comments about Maggie. We will definitely have Chris back when we need another dog and house sitter. I'm really happy the experience was good for my dog by not leaving her in a kennel.”

Earl B.

“Shannon did amazing with my pup Mia! She sent tons of pictures so I didn’t have to miss her too much, and gave her lots of exercise since she’s a high energy doggo! Super pleased, I’ll definitely book her again.”

“Hannah managed to coax our three shy cats out of their hiding places and eventually even got kisses from the boy cat. She kept us informed of her progress along the way to feline acceptance with emails, photos and new toys from them. As a house sitter, Hannah dealt with Verizon FiOS when our wifi went down by troubleshooting and meeting with the technician who was able to fix the problem. And she left the house cleaner than we left it! We (both humans and felines) look forward to calling on Hannah for our next vacation.”

About: Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals, and caring for them quickly became second nature to me. From a young age, I took on the responsibility of making sure my pets were happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Whether it was feeding, grooming, training, or simply spending quality time with them, I always put my heart into making sure they felt loved and safe. Grooming & Hygiene Keeping my pets clean and well-groomed has always been a top priority. I’ve had plenty of experience brushing fur to prevent tangles, bathing dogs with pet-safe shampoos, trimming nails, and making sure their ears and teeth stay clean. I know how important regular grooming is—not just for a pet’s appearance, but for their overall health and comfort. Cleaning & Maintaining a Healthy Environment A clean space means a happy and healthy pet, so I’ve always been diligent about keeping my pets’ living areas tidy. Whether it’s scooping litter boxes, cleaning up fur, washing food and water bowls, or making sure their bedding is fresh and comfortable, I make sure they have a safe and sanitary space to live in. Training & Teaching Fun Tricks One of my favorite things about working with animals is training them. I love using positive reinforcement to teach cool tricks, from basic commands like sit and stay to more advanced skills like opening doors. I enjoy the challenge of working with different personalities and figuring out the best way to engage them in learning. I’ve also successfully potty trained puppies, using patience, consistency, and positive rewards to help them develop good habits. Personalized Pet Care Every pet is different, and I’ve always made it a priority to understand their unique personalities and needs. Some animals are energetic and love to run and play, while others are more relaxed and enjoy cuddle time. I make sure to cater to each pet’s preferences, providing the right balance of exercise, attention, and affection to keep them happy and comfortable. Patience & A Positive Attitude Caring for animals takes patience, and that’s something I have in abundance. Whether I’m working with a shy pet who needs time to warm up, a playful puppy full of energy, or a senior pet who needs extra care, I approach every situation with kindness and understanding. My bubbly and happy personality helps pets feel at ease, and I love creating a positive, loving environment for them. A Lifelong Love for Animals Because I grew up with pets, taking care of them isn’t just something I do—it’s a part of who I am. My experience with grooming, cleaning, training, and overall pet care has given me the skills and knowledge to ensure that every animal I look after feels safe, loved, and well cared for. There’s nothing more rewarding to me than seeing a happy, healthy pet, and I take pride in providing the best care possible for every furry friend in my life. I currently just moved to Richmond, Va with my fiancé. I do not currently have a job but I am looking to school to be a veterinarian. I am currently free a lot of the times. Sure! Here’s a detailed first-person summary of how you would take care of your clients’ pets: ⸻ Taking care of my clients’ pets is more than just a job—it’s a passion. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. Daily Routine & Care Every pet has unique needs, and I tailor my care to each one accordingly. I begin by getting to know the pet’s personality, preferences, and any specific instructions from their owner. Feeding & Hydration I make sure pets are fed according to their specific dietary requirements, whether it’s dry kibble, wet food, or a raw diet. I pay close attention to portion sizes and feeding schedules to maintain their health and energy levels. Fresh water is always available, and I make sure to clean food and water bowls regularly to keep everything hygienic. Grooming & Hygiene Grooming is an essential part of a pet’s well-being. I brush their fur to keep it clean and free from tangles, especially for breeds that require frequent upkeep. If needed, I also provide baths using pet-safe shampoos, making sure to dry them thoroughly to avoid discomfort. Nail trimming, ear cleaning, and brushing their teeth are also part of my routine to ensure they stay healthy from head to tail. Bathroom Breaks & Cleaning For dogs, I take them out for regular bathroom breaks, following their usual schedule to prevent accidents and ensure their comfort. For cats, I scoop the litter box daily, replacing litter as needed to keep their space fresh and odor-free. Any pet messes, whether accidents or shedding, are promptly cleaned to maintain a clean and comfortable environment. Exercise & Playtime Physical activity is vital for a pet’s happiness and health. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a game of fetch, or interactive play with their favorite toys. I adjust activities based on the pet’s age and energy level, ensuring they get the right balance of movement and stimulation. Cuddling & Social Interaction Beyond basic care, I provide plenty of love and affection. If a pet enjoys snuggles, I’m more than happy to have cuddle sessions to make them feel secure and cherished. For pets who prefer space, I respect their boundaries while still giving them companionship in a way they’re comfortable with. Special Care & Medication If a pet has any special needs, I ensure they receive the proper attention. This includes administering medications, following specific health protocols, or providing extra care for senior pets. I carefully follow any instructions given by the owner to make sure their pet’s health is always a priority. Going the Extra Mile I believe in treating pets like family, which means going beyond the basics. I send regular updates to owners with pictures and details about their pet’s day. I make sure to monitor their behavior for any signs of distress or illness and notify the owner immediately if anything seems off. At the heart of my work is a genuine love for animals. Whether it’s keeping them active, maintaining their hygiene, or simply giving them the attention they need, I ensure every pet in my care feels happy, comfortable, and loved. Would you like me to personalize this further for specific services you offer?

“I have used Kelly for House Sitting with my dogs a couple of times. Each time, I was pleased to know that the pups were being cared for, loved on and in the comfort of their own home. I previously had 2 Dobermans that Kelly cared for, and she has now met my new Doberman Senja, who I recently adopted as my other 2 had since passed. Dobermans can be very sensitive and have stomach problems when stressed out. But under Kelly's care, I have never come home to a pup with stomach issues like I do if I use a boarding facility. Kelly is always reliable and communicates on a daily basis with pictures of the pups. It truly allows us to enjoy our vacations and not stress about what is going on at home with our dogs since we are confident that they are in Kelly's care. It was important to me that a sitter not be intimidated by the breed. My previous Dobermans were leery of strangers until they warmed up, and she handled them without hesitation. My newly adopted Senja took to Kelly right away.”

About: I have been around and taken care of cats since my mom and I rescued 3 kittens from side of the road. When we picked them up and took them to the vet they were only 2 weeks old. We had to quickly learn how to take care of them to make sure they survived. From nursing them to stimulating them so that then could go to the bathroom , to waking up every hour to make sure they were okay and warm. They are now 6 years old! Those are now my mom's babies, I ended up getting my own 2 babies 2 years later from a shelter. One of my boys has Cerebellar Hypoplasia (it's mild) which means he's a little wobbly and off balance. With his condition it has made me much more patient, caring and understanding to any animals with any disabilities or impairments I work full-time during the week, but I have flexibility in my schedule and plenty of time to give your cats the attention and care they deserve. I’m available for evening visits during the week and have more flexibility on weekends. I’ll always make sure we discuss your pets routine and needs beforehand so I can provide consistent, reliable care while you’re away. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home, where pets are often most comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, litter box, and care instructions provided by the owner. I’m very respectful of each petsp personality and boundaries and never force interaction. I make sure doors and windows are secure, litter areas are kept clean, fresh food and water are available, and I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, or quiet companionship depending on what your pet prefers. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your baby is safe and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have a puppy of my own named Nylah. Nylah is 2 months old and full of energy. I have two children and they are 7 years old and 11 years old. We also have a cat named Rocky. He is 3 years old. I am available every weekend for boarding or to pet sit. I can also do boarding during the week. I have over 20 years of pet care experience. I am a very caring and loving person with lots of patience!!! I will treat your pet like family just like I do my own. I am very good with all breed types. Please contact me for any boarding or pet sitting services you may need for your pet. Thank you for considering me!

“Lizzie was amazing with our animals! They became friends quickly and Lizzie’s experience with animals really helped. She was very communicative while we were on vacation.”

About: I’ve taken care of so many dogs since i was 12. I use to work for pet care and got cpr training from there too. Im always active, i love walking, lifting, and being on the move for work. Walking dogs and playing with them, that makes me so happy. I will always walk them at their speed and play as much as they want. Making sure they’re safe, and making sure they’re comfortable too.

“Toni was a lifesaver! We have an extremely shy/nervous chihuahua that barks and runs from pretty much everyone. Toni was patient and worked with us to build up a familiarity with our skittish little girl. It took some time, but we were successfully able to go on vacation without having the constant worry of our little girl being comfortable in the back of our minds. We highly recommend working with Toni, especially for a challenging pup.”
