Pet Sitting Rockville

About: I truly love animals and care for every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, and always try to make pets feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to adjust to each pet’s personality and routine. I also love sending photo updates so owners can feel at ease. Spending time with animals is honestly one of the best parts of my day. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy making time for walks, playtime, cuddles, feedings, and check-ins throughout the week. Caring for pets feels natural to me, and I love making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with care and respect, always following your instructions closely to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I pay attention to routines, keep things clean and consistent, and make sure your pet feels calm, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I also send regular updates so you always know how things are going.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them and can't imagine life without them. Twice a week I volunteer at a local dog rescue, which keeps me sharp on handling dogs of all ages, temperments, and needs. I also share my home with cats, so I understand feline routines and personalities just as well as I do dogs. From playful puppies and kittens to gentle seniors who need a little extra patience, I am able to offer an energetic walk or a calm, reassuring visit to your pet's day. I bring genuine love, attentiveness, and real hands-on experience to every walk and drop-in. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have a consistent schedule and enjoy planning my days around the pets I am caring for. I volunteer at a dog rescue on Monday and Friday mornings and have a few standing commitments on Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Outside of those times, I have a flexible schedule and am committed to maintaining each pet's individual or household routines. I am very reliable, thrive with structure, and always make sure the pets in my care receive the attention and consistency they deserve. I believe pets thrive with a consistent routine and am able to follow instructions closely for feeding, litter box cleaning, walks, medications, brushing, and any other custom and daily care. I also pay close attention to each pet's behavior and body language so I am able to recognize when something seems out of character or when they need a different approach, committing to always notify the owner for follow up. I never force interactions or activities- for example, if a dog is not interested in a walk, I will adjust and find an alternative way to keep them engaged and comfortable. Above all, I prioritize a clean, safe, and low-stress environment where both cats and dogs feel secure and well cared for. I am also insured through Pet Sitters Associates with expanded coverage for client pets to give owners an extra peace of mind while pets are in my care.

“First time having Michaela check in on my fur baby. She was responsive to my initial inquiry, showed up as promised, and took good care of my cat while I was gone. Couldn't ask for more than that.”

“Mark did a wonderful job with my fur babies. Very attentive, punctual, and caring. My two pups are like polar opposites, one big and hyper, one small and chill, and he made sure they each got the attention they needed. Excellent job!”

Ebonie R.

“My wife has always had someone to watch her dog, but we recently built a house and she moved to Goochland County. It was our first time using the Rover service and Riley was great. She sent notes and pictures to keep us updated on each stay. She was great and will be using her services again!”

Ronnie K.

“Alexis was terrific. She took wonderful care of Manteo, kept us updated and immediately responded to our texts. She managed a few extra needs for Manteo and we were grateful. Our dog is still a puppy and Alexis managed his puppy behaviors like a champ. She's a lovely person. Thank you, Alexis!”

Melissa J.

“Mary took great care of our 2 cats while we were away. We appreciated the pictures she took during her check ins. Mary followed all of the instructions we provided to her and was always on time for check ins. We would definitely trust Mary to look after our cats again!”

About: I’ve dog-sat for neighbors throughout childhood, often look after my parents’ two dogs while they are away, and volunteer at the Richmond SPCA. Dog/cat for family friends while they were on sabbatical for four months. I have a flexible schedule thanks to my hybrid/remote CPA position. I can often adjust my workday to accommodate pet care, including walks, feedings, playtime, and overnight stays. I typically have evenings and weekends free, allowing me to provide consistent, reliable care and plenty of attention. I have experience caring for both crate-trained and free-roaming pets and always follow each owner’s routines and instructions. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and making pets feel comfortable in their environment. I enjoy long walks, playtime, and relaxing with a furry companion, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while you’re away.

About: I'm a dedicated pet sitter with over 8 years of pet care experience. I've worked professionally at a dog daycare for 2 years and have volunteered with animal shelters for the past 4 years, where I helped train dogs and worked with pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I am Pet First Aid certified through the American Red Cross and experienced in administering medications when needed. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a senior dog, or a nervous rescue, I strive to provide patient, attentive care tailored to their individual needs. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important communication is while you're away, so I provide regular updates and photos to help you feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule and am available most days of the week for drop-in visits and dog walks. I respond promptly to booking requests, typically within an hour, and do my best to accommodate each pet's needs and routine. Availability may vary slightly based on my work schedule, but I keep my calendar updated and encourage owners to reach out with any questions about specific dates. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and providing a safe, comfortable environment. I carefully follow feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions while ensuring pets receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection. With 8 years of pet-sitting experience, 2 years of professional dog daycare experience, 4 years volunteering with animal shelters, and Pet First Aid certification through the American Red Cross, I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I’ve ran my own pet sitting business for the last 6 years at my home and have enjoyed it! I absolutely love animals and am ready to give back to the Harrisonburg community by helping pets in need of care and extra love!! Although I have a busy schedule, I available most days in the evening for dog walking! I walk everyday after work and would love to have some furry company. I have a fenced in yard, and live in a neighborhood where I can care for your pet and give them the exercise they need. There are lots of paths and parks nearby!

“Can not say enough good things about Mandy! She understands that puppies have a different energy, and needs, from adult dogs and navigates the care of both my pups beautifully. She genuinely cares about my dogs and their well being. Very grateful to have her as our sitter.”

Shannon C.

“Sophia took great care of my two kitties! She was really sweet and easy to get in touch with to set up the visits. While I was gone she sent me great notes and pictures every day. And she didnt make me feel judged for all of my ridiculous cat care requests (like all good crazy cat ladies have). She also went above and beyond to help me with a problem that came up in my apt while I was gone. I came home to a clean apt and happy kitties. I would definitely book her again and recommend you do too!”
