“Sweet, dependable and best of all loves dogs!”

“This is the third time we have booked Amber for drop-in visits. She is an excellent pet sitter. Our dog is nervous around strangers. Amber has made him feel at ease and he looks forward to seeing her. She communicates frequently and always sends photos. We very much appreciate Amber and will definitely book her again.”

“Sarah was wonderful with the cats. They got along with her really well and she was very thorough in giving us updates and photos. I will definitely be asking her to cat sit again in the future!”

“Jessica did a wonderful job with my very shy cat. She was patient and persistent until my cat gradually opened up to her. Jessica was very reliable in feeding my cat on schedule and sending me pictures on a daily basis, even if the pic was only one of my cat hiding under the bed!”

About: I'm the proud owner of a chocolate lab and go-to sitter of three precious cats! I'm very active and able to take your pets on long walks. I'm currently a college student on summer break, so I am free to watch, play with, and walk your pets every day of the week! Your pets will be my #1 priority! I have a well loved chocolate lab at home, so I know how to take care of dogs! For my clients, I value communication. You will know all about how your pet is doing, and I will follow their pre-existing routine as closely as possible! Let me know any rules, diet restrictions, and preferences so I can do my best. I prefer to dogsit in your home to reduce the amount of stress your pet feels while you're away!

“We booked with Mya again because she’s excellent! She will always be our first choice when we need a cat sitter. She’s very thorough in her updates, sends great pictures, and our kitties can always relax around her!”

About: I’m a prospective vet student with many years of experience walking, playing with, and caring for all kinds of animals! I can train young dogs. I have complete availability, meaning I have plenty of time to take care of your animals, spending time playing with them and loving on them. I have a fenced in big backyard. I have plenty of experience crating dogs, big and small, and I have no issue handling even the big dogs.

About: I have grown up around animals and have extensive experience with pet care and the adoption process, which has strengthened my passion for providing loving, attentive care. Over the years, I have become a trusted choice for many families because of my dedication, reliability, and commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own. I take pride in ensuring that animals feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am a college student working part-time mostly at night allowing me lots of time during the day to walk and play your pups! I am able to travel to your house and am able to take the pup on a walk or just stay and play for a bit!

About: I own a dog of 10 years, so I have plenty of experience taking care of a happy and healthy pet. I deeply understand what keeps a dog in great spirits. I feel an emphasis on play and experiences with a pet can elevate the relationship between owner and pet. I'm very flexible, all I need is a day's notice. I can work just about any hour of the day. If anything were to change suddenly, my client would be the first to know. My dog lives in my home and has a nice fenced yard to run around in. He goes on daily walks and gets plenty of exercise and play. He is also fed twice a day. I would bring the same energy for my client's dogs.

“Aimee is great. Great with communication and very accommodating - sometimes our plans have changed while away and she is great to make it work. Plus great with our two cats!”

“Jana was great! Highly recommend.”

“Andre takes great care of my cat and goes above and beyond every visit. He’s communicative and even helped me handle an emergency home issue that came up while I was out of town. Highly recommend him (and so does my cat!)”

Megan M.

“Lily was excellent. She was very attentive and caring with our cat. She took excellent care of our home on drop in visits. She followed all directions and improvised when needed. She looked after our cat and house for two weeks and always provided great feedback. We highly recommend her.”

Andrea V.

“I will use Maria literally every time it works with our schedules! She takes the best care of my cat (who is sometimes a monster) and rolls with the craziness with an awesome attitude. Huge thanks to Maria!”

About: Hi there! I grew up loving dogs, in fact, my older sibling was our family German Shepard! She made sure I was safe, and I made sure she was well loved! I understand how important four-legged family members are. I will provide your fur baby with the same level of care I would want for my own. I LOVE dogs and they love me! I have owned and cared for a full range of dogs. You can feel relaxed with your pet in my care, whether a baby or mature pet, I’ve handled them all! Also, as an experienced foster mom, I am fully comfortable and capable of handling newly adopted or foster dogs, and shy/timid dogs. I have no breed or size restrictions. All furry friends are welcome! Whatever you and your pet need, I am here to help. Currently, I am focused only on dog sitting. Although I tend to schedule tasks when I am not caring for a dog, if I need to run an errand, pups are never left alone for more than one to two hours. My home is very pet friendly and safe. Your fur baby is more than welcome to hang out with me on the couch or on the bed! Let my love of pets help you feel secure in your fur baby's safety and well-being.

About: I have taken classes in dog behaviors and how they act when they might need a particular action done. I have a NAPPS certification, which is National Association of Professional Pet Sitters that is earned for all small animals, both including dogs and cats. I have had my own very young puppy, so I know how to handle and train them in a gentle manner that they will respond to. I have tons of experience in senior dogs and cats, so I am patient to more slow animals or paying attention to them more and making sure they have what they need. I have an extremely open schedule and can stay over for longer periods of time than most people. I am free almost every single day for hours on end, so finding when I can come over is no trouble. I’m easy to schedule if I need to house sit, and am extremely responsible and willing to stay overnight when needed. I love taking care of animals in their own homes, knowing they’ll feel the most comfortable surrounded by their familiar surroundings. The only thing I care about is that your furry companions are safe and cared for in a way that they don’t feel out of place or missing the love they got before you left them in my care.

About: I grew up in a home that was constantly fostering dogs, puppies, senior dogs, kittens, and everything in between. Over the years, I’ve helped care for shy rescues, energetic puppies, senior hospice dogs, big breeds, little breeds, and pets needing extra patience and structure. Through fostering and daily care, I gained experience reinforcing training routines, reading canine body language, and handling dogs respectfully based on their individual needs and comfort levels. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’m experienced with:
• Dog walking
• Cat sitting
• Overnight pet care
• High energy dogs
• Senior pets
• Rescue animals & anxious pets
• Reinforcing basic training routines
• Reactive or dog selective dogs
• Multi pet households I’m active, reliable, calm under pressure, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I understand that not every dog wants to greet people or other dogs on walks, and I’m always mindful of giving pets the space, structure, and calm environment they need to feel comfortable and safe. Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, cuddles, consistency, or just someone dependable while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’ll be available in Arlington, VA, this summer and in San Diego this fall, and I have reliable transportation. My goal is simple: make your pets feel safe, loved, exercised, and happy, and make you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I am in Arlington, VA, for the summer and in San Diego for college during the fall! I work part-time over the summer for the St.James ice hockey program. Starting June 15th, I will only be free after 4 pm on weekdays and at any time on weekends. I will be available to stay overnight on weekends. I have experience in caring for animals with a variety of personalities. I have adopted many animals over the years, and my most recent dog is a Belgian Malinois! He is full of energy and likes going on runs, walks, playing fetch, and anything that involves hours of constant activity. I have had dogs ranging from 3-week-old puppies to a 160-pound mastiff. I have had cats all my life and have bottle-fed multiple litters. I enjoy working with local animal shelters and would love to let your animal steal my heart 😊

“Frannie had a great time hanging out with Hannah. I got plenty of updates which helped me know my baby was in good hands.”

“Becca took amazing care of my cat Leon! She was easy to communicate with and took extra time to make my shy cat feel more comfortable during her visits.”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for everything from small dogs to large dogs, including a couple of Belgian Malinois. I frequently take care of friends’ dogs when they are out of town, providing walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention to help them stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their owners are away. Caring for pets is already a regular part of my week. I have a pretty flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit in walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m very clean and organized, - I can clean up after pets including messes or accidents to ensure home is tidy. - - - -
