“Ashley was so great! She took great care of our pup, who can be a little difficult. She kept us up to date, spent quality time with Zoey, sent several pictures and took her on several walks. We can’t thank her enough!”
“Stacey was awesome! She took great care of our dog. She sent lots of pictures and made us feel comfortable that our dog was in wonderful hands. I would definitely recommend Stacey and use her again.”
“Kelley did a fantastic job caring for our kitties 3. She made she they were entertained and shared some great photos with us, will definitely have her care for them the next time we are away.”
“I would highly recommend working with Margaret. She went above and beyond for our 2 cats while we were out of town. She was able to administer medication to our older cat and sent detailed daily updates with how they were doing. She so clearly cares about all animals and it shines through in her work. Leaving your pets for any amount of time is difficult, but in Margaret's care you can be confident they are well cared for.”
“We’ve asked Stacey to do drop-ins for our high energy pup on a couple occasions. She’s done a fantastic job with him. She’s alleviated a lot of the stress we’ve had with leaving our dog home on those occasions. We highly recommend her!”
“Nicholas is a fantastic cat sitter! We were gone for two weeks and returned home to happy, relaxed cats with clean litter boxes and full water and food bowls.”
About: I have taken care of animals (horses, chickens, cats, dogs, fish, alpacas, pigs, etc.) at multiple houses and farms. I was always the one people would turn to when it came to taking care of their household of animals when they were away. I am in the process of becoming a dog trainer as well as groomer! I've had experience with giving animals shots, pills and liquid medication as well as care after surgeries. Since I am self employed that gives me more open time to play, walk and care for the animals. Currently I own 2 cats and 2 dogs that live with me, I will need a few times a day to let them out a couple times a day. In my home I have a dedicated animal room that has beds, crates, a dog couch, lots of sunlight and a deck for the dogs to hang out on. I also have a pen that I can use if there are dogs or puppies that cannot hold their bladder and have frequent accidents. Blankets and toys galore for the dogs anytime they need them. There is a large yard for the dogs to roam around in or hiking areas for us to walk on. In your home I will make sure to take care of your lovely pet as I would with any of mine! Cuddles and snuggles as well as springs and tug-of-war, whatever activity the animals need to get their energy out as well as keeping them feeling safe and happy. The directions given to me from you will be taken to heart. Feeding, walking and sleeping schedules will be upheld to a T.
About: I have 2 years of experience with dogs. I rescued my baby 2 years ago and recently adopted a 2nd pup. I love my doggos and consider both of them my daughters! I have experience in walking, puppy training, crate training and walking. I currently work full time, I am lucky enough to be able to bring my dogs to the office with me everyday. I will be available only on the weekends/holidays. I can service the areas of Round Hill to Sterling VA (20165) I have a fenced backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your pup feel safe and accompanied. They’re both super playful and know when it’s time to relax and take a nap.
“Chantre is great to work with and so good to our little pup Teddy! She's very flexible and great at communicating with us. We'll definitely be using Chantre again!”
“Zeel was great! She played with my cats, cleaned up their messes, communicated with me each day while we were away, and sent photos! I would absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“We have used Stephanie twice now for dog sitting. She is wonderful. Excellent communication and goes above and beyond to make sure your pups are doing well. Highly recommended!!”
About: I am a college student looking for extra income this summer. I pride myself on being a reliable communicator, a punctual employee, and having a heart for all furry friend- big and small! I have experience working with dogs of all ages, puppies through elderly! I’m currently working as a waitress part-time, typically beginning at 3:00pm. On days I do work, which is typically weekends, I am always home by 10:30-11:00pm. My mornings are always completely open, and I am an early riser! In my home, our priority was to never (if not rarely) be left home alone for more than 3 hours. This is a goal I implement in my pet-care as well. Furthermore, when it comes to walk, I understand this is some pets best part of their day! It is my goal to make it as stress-free, fun, and exciting as possible!
About: I have experience caring for my own pets, pet sitting for friends and family, as well as farm work experience. I have trained my own dogs, and have experience caring for senior pets as well as pets with medical needs. I currently have a very flexible schedule, I am available most days and times for pet care and will do my best to accommodate your needs. I will provide the same care for your pets that you would give, by following all instructions and routines that you have set in place!
