Cat Sitting in Rectortown

About: I have been house and pet sitting since I was in high school. Friends, family, and neighbors are always asking if I can care for their animals and homes! I used to shadow a family friend who had a pet sitting business and I loved tagging along! I work full time as a teacher, but I get off at 2:35 so my weekdays have free afternoons and evenings. Weekends are completely free and I’ll be able to care for your pets any time of day. I can easily commute to your home to care for your pet. I don’t mind transporting your pets if needed. I will take great care and consideration when entering your home and ensure safety, fun and love for your pets!

“Alex, It was so nice to know someone who like’s to spend time with dogs was checking on ours. I am hoping you are interested in helping us out again. I don’t know the dates yet but will be for a weekend in Oct. I will get back to you. I am also trying to figure out how to send you a tip. I am not so good at this tech stuff. Thanks again, Tina”

“Mary was so kind and quick in response! She came over to meet our animals and so we could show her their routines. Our animals were well cared for and loved!’ Communication was great throughout!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and attention. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment that keeps pets comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m comfortable with basic puppy training, leash walking, administering medication, and following detailed feeding or care routines. I also have experience caring for senior pets, including providing gentle mobility support, monitoring health changes, and maintaining consistent routines to reduce stress. Above all, I treat every pet like family—making sure they feel secure, cared for, and happy while you’re gone. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I work during the day and am available after 5:00 PM on weekdays, which allows me to provide evening walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m also available on weekends with flexible scheduling for longer visits, overnight stays, or extended care when needed. I make sure to plan my schedule carefully so I can give each pet my full attention and maintain consistent, reliable care. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care situation. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I make sure doors and gates are secured, maintain a clean space, and always supervise pets during walks, feeding, and playtime. At my home, I have a Siberian Husky, so I’m very familiar with active, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of structure, exercise, and safe introductions. Above all, I focus on building trust through consistency, clear communication with owners, and treating every pet with patience and respect.

“We had a wonderful experience with Kate! She did a fantastic job with our puppy and treated him with so much care and attention. It was obvious right away that she genuinely loves animals, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her hands. We’ll absolutely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and great with puppies!”

About: I have over 100 hours of volunteer experience at the Middleburg Humane Foundation, where I spent countless hours walking, feeding, and socializing a wide range of breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs. I also received certification to walk dogs of different temperaments and sizes. In addition, I have over 6 years of experience in dog sitting and walking for my neighbors. I have a genuine love for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Whether they are lazy lap dogs or playful and energetic, I guarantee great care. As a recent college graduate, I have an open schedule ready to fit in with your schedule. I am available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight! I guarantee proper clean-up and disposal during walks, and I ensure to keep your home neat and tidy. When messes occur, I am quick to clean and leave the area better than I found it. With over 6 years of experience in dog sitting and walking for my neighbors, I have a perfect track record of keeping their homes cleaner than I found them and making sure any messes have been taken care of.

“Pam was great. I appreciated the daily text and photo of my pup which eliminated any anxiety I had prior to and during our family vacation. Hope she will sit for us on our next trip away.”

“Amanda was prompt and provided photos of my pup. It relieved a lot of anxiety knowing she was there with him to give him a break and cuddles:)”

“Christin came through for us again for another last minute request- this time for weekend drop-ins. Her service was stellar- again, no problem giving pills to Neo, and completely understanding of our special requests and needs. Her care was a great comfort- we can’t recommend her enough!”

Tracey R.

“My 8 year old Matilda kitty just loves Lauren. She is knowledgeable about administering medication. And in the pictures that Lauren sends daily, shows my kitty snuggled up to her.”

Trina S.

“Ella was super responsive and I felt extremely comfortable leaving Apollo…and Blue in her care. I will for sure become a repeat client! TY Ella!!”

About: I’ve always have had a huge heart for dogs and cats since I was a child. As an adult, I donate to local animal shelters, help out where I can for these cuddly animals of ours! I am a super friendly easy going animal lover who walks, feeds, bathes.. Etc anything you need! I currently work part time, work from home Wednesday’s and the weekend is when i’m the most flexible.( I can also watch dogs or cats every evening) I also take my puppy with me everywhere if I can! I have a french bulldog puppy who is super cuddly, go on walks with her all the time. My home is puppy and dog proofed, and i have a large backyard to play in!

“Gabrielle took great care of my two cats while I was away for a week!! She was always on time with her drop in visits, followed all of my instructions closely, sent lots of great pictures, and went above and beyond by spending time playing with them and giving them treats. Even my very shy cat seemed to really love her. Will definitely book her again in the future!!”

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life, always living in a home with three or more dogs and at least two cats. At one point, my family also bred Great Danes, which gave me experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and needs. Because of this background, I am very compassionate toward animals and am eager to become more involved in working with them. Im looking to save money for college so as much work as possible is helpful! I will be communicative and let you know if it fits my schedule! at home, I have a large front yard as well as a fenced in back yard. I have 3 dogs however I would more than likely keep your pet away from my animals just to be safe and respectful. I will be able to go on long walks with your animals and give them a great experience!

“Courtney was amazing! This was the first time we have had to leave our dogs with someone other than family, so we were a little nervous since our dogs can be a handful with their anxieties. The first time our dogs met her, they were already comfortable with her. Throughout our vacation she was always in touch with us and sent us pictures. Even though we are back now, the dogs still look excitedly in the morning to see if she is coming, so we will definitely be using Courtney again in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of my dads friends dogs aswell as my own cat. I’ve fed, walked, etc.. I’d love to work with your pet! I’ve had my cat for 12 years and she’s well taken care of. This is currently my main priority as I’m going to college soon! I can do pretty much any days and any times!! Monday-Friday. 7Am- 9PM (just an example) I currently do not offer this ! But if i ever did I’d make sure your fur baby is as comfortable as my own. Thank you for trusting me!

“Bonnie was excellent from day one. She is so communicative, knowledgeable, friendly and kind. I could tell my pets were very happy with her while were gone and that they were well taken care of. I would hire her any day!”

We provided training and grooming while we were in NYC, we continued with rover while we lived in PA and we are so excited to now be in Reston. We both work from home so your pet will always get a ton of love and attention while staying with us. We know it’s always hard to leave them so we make sure to send you daily updates and photos. My husband and I currently WFH and are available during the day. I can walk / feed your pup and other animals during prime times of the day. We live in an apartment that’s perfect to make your pup feel very cozy while having a lot of open space for them to run around and play. I am very active so your pup will return exercised, played out and ready for cuddles
