“Mary Jane was an awesome sitter. This was my first time using Rover and knowing someone was home with my pups was reassuring. Mary Jane took great care of my pups and sent me pictures so I could see how happy they were.”


“Pixie was amazing with our 2 dogs and house sitting while we were away for the weekend. She kept in constant communication sending updates, pictures and even telling us when she had to leave and how long she would be gone. I honestly dont think I worried once about them or our house! We already have her booked again for our next trip.”


About: Hello!! My name is Briana, but I go by Bri :). I’ve been caring for animals most of my life. I”ve had guinea pigs, hamsters, cats, dogs, and fish. I have my own cat for over 5 years and have regularly helped friends and family with their pets while they are on vacation. Whether that’s walking them, feeding them, playtime or cuddles. I’m all about giving your fur babies a comfortable and loving space as well as giving you a peace of mind! :) I currently work a full time job Monday-Friday. I get off around 4:30-5 each day (depends) and I’m pretty much free on most weekends :) I prefer not to care in my home since I still live with my parents. However, in your home, I would make sure your pet gets the love and care they need and deserve! I will make sure they stay hydrated, fed, loved for, play with them, even take them on walks or cuddle and watch a movie! :)

“Brenda was wonderful . I was extremely nervous to leave my dogs and I had never left my youngest before. She was great at keeping me informed and sent sweet photos of them happy and calm. That was very reassuring. When we got home everyone was happy and healthy. I will use Brenda again if the need arises!”


“This was the first time we left our puppy Fiona. We left her with Evangeline and couldn’t be more pleased. Fiona loves her. Our puppy and home were very well taken care of. We would definitely use Evangeline again!”


“McKayla did wonderful with my chows! She was attentive with all 3 and careful to keep the two females apart since they do not get along. She kept them on their feeding schedule and on their potty schedule and won Simba over immediately! I will definitely reach out to McKayla in the future when I need a sitter! Highly recommended!”


“Rebecca stayed at my home to care for my dog & cat. I found her to be caring, thoughtful, attentive, and professional, every step of the way. Arrived home to find my pets thoroughly loved on and cared for. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”


“I was super nervous about using this service as it was our first time using. Halee was great, she house sat and was at our house when she said she was going to be. Our dog and cats were well taken care of. My cats aren’t usually fond of strangers and they even liked her. She kept in communication with me while gone and my house was the same as when I left it. I would use her again and highly recommend her!”


“Tiffany, was great! She listened carefully when I gave her directions and then modified them when things changed with my dog Tcup. She alerted me when my dog got anxious and she kindly helped to calm him down. All in all she got to really enjoy him which made me glad that he had good company!”


About: I have cared for friends and family dogs. I think they can tell when you like them. I’ve always been able to connect with dogs. I’m retired. I was an LPN for 30yrs. I have lots of free time to care for your dog. I definitely can give them meds.😊 If you have fenced yard. I’d play with them clean up and check on them often and bring them in and make sure gates are secure.

About: I’ve been working with dogs for three years and I truly love what I do. Please note that I cannot provide cat care as I am allergic! I’m currently part of the team at Good Dog Paws, a facility that has been voted Best Pet Training in the Tri-State area for 2023, 2024, and 2025 — and I’m incredibly proud to be a part of such a trusted and respected organization. At Good Dog Paws, I handle a wide range of responsibilities that have helped me become confident in working with all types of dogs. I bathe dogs, manage feeding routines, administer medications (including oral and topical treatments), and closely supervise group play to ensure every dog stays safe and happy. I’ve learned to read body language, manage group dynamics, and handle unexpected situations calmly and professionally. In addition to my work at Good Dog Paws, I’ve also volunteered at the Washington County Humane Society as a dog walker. That experience helped me become more comfortable with dogs who may be shy, nervous, or still learning basic manners, and I’ve developed a gentle, patient approach to building trust with animals who need a little extra love. I’ve also provided pet sitting and house sitting services for both family and my boss. These experiences have taught me how important it is to follow routines closely, keep pets comfortable in their own home, and maintain regular communication with pet parents while they’re away. Whether I’m taking care of a senior dog with special needs or entertaining an energetic pup with tons of personality, I take pride in offering reliable, compassionate care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time for pet care in my schedule! Please reference my calendar and message me as needed for availability! I plan to keep your loved ones safe through supervision and attentive care. Through my years of experience caring for animals, I will give them the best quality of life as possible!

“Absolutely amazing! She kept me up to date on my dogs while I was away and took great care of them. I felt at ease knowing she was great with them and they were in great hands! Definitely recommend!”


About: I’ve been taking care of pets for several years & can be trusted in the comfort of your home to meet your pets needs! Family & friends have been able to rely on me & know that they are in the best of hands! I have a puppy of my own & a senior dog & they are my best friends, I’m hoping to make some more!! During the week I work very early in the morning, so I am free for any pet services after that! I typically work a little later on the weekends, generally to mid afternoon if so, but my schedule is very flexible! I have a lot of free time to spare. I go by whatever schedule your pet has, based on their eating & sleeping times, and everything in between!! If they just need a little play date or a long stroll around the neighborhood, I’m here! If they have a jam-packed day of fun… I’ll also be there! I’ve dealt with crate trained animals & also animals that roam free, big & small! Anything your pet needs, I’ve got it!

About: I have had the honor of having dogs my entire life. Recently, helped my daughter potty training her last to rescue puppies. They have become protectors of my grandchildren. I'm currently enjoying my summer break and would love to offer my services for walks during the early mornings and evenings. On cooler days, I’m also available for midday walks. Additionally, if you need overnight care, I can provide that service in your home upon request. Currently, I do not have pets in my home, as I do not have a fenced yard that would allow them to safely play and enjoy outdoor activities.

About: As a work-from-home father, my flexible schedule accommodates needy pups or cats requiring frequent visits or overnight care. I currently have 2 small dogs and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. If you live in this area, I'm here for you! I also run (slowly) so if you have a dog that wants to run off energy for a few miles, I'm in! I work from home with minimal meetings (about 5 hours/week.) so I can make frequent visits during the day or even take my computer over to your place if you have good wi-fi! I have a fenced-in backyard of about 3/4 an acre. My two small dogs are friendly and we are glad to introduce them if this interests you and your dog. Our dogs have free run of the house and sleep on the bed.

“Kayda arrived promptly for our Meet & Greet and seemed to connect well with the pets right away. Then she stayed at our house overnight to take care of the animals while we were at an event in northern VA. She kept me well informed, sending a text and photos to let me know that everything was going well. She left the house and the animals in great shape. We will definitely book her again.”


About: I helped take care of and train my family dog of 6 years, walk neighbor’s and close friend’s dogs, and love to care for animals! I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your dogs. My schedule is not too busy besides from work and beginning school in the fall. I have a friendly husky who can keep your pup company, and if needed, a gate to section them off in the house. I do not have a fence, but a gated deck that our husky also loves to spend his time on.
