House Sitting in Soles

“Linda stayed in our hotel room with my old girl while I visited Colonial Williamsburg. Pepper can have separation anxiety. I sure having Linda to cuddle next to kept her calm and comfortable. Many thanks!”

“So glad Taylor spent the winter holidays with my two dogs! She left my home clean, always kept me updated, and handled things well when they didn’t go to plan. I’d highly recommend booking Taylor!”

“We've had less than positive experiences with boarding in the past and our dogs are a rambunctious bunch. They need constant supervision to keep them and the wildlife in our yard safe so house sitting is our only option. Macy took care of everything, stayed for the whole long weekend, and we came home to untraumatized dogs. Would definitely book again!”

“Everything went very smoothly with Victoria taking care of our 14 year old dog and 4 year old cat. The request was made just days before we had to leave town for a family situation. Victoria was prompt responding to my initial request. She arrived promptly for a meet and greet, our dog loved her and our cat actually came out of hiding the second day and hung out with her! Victoria immediately put our minds to rest about using a new pet sitter so last minute. She kept us updated on how the kids were doing while we were away and left our house looking perfect when we arrived home. We will definitely contact her when we travel again.”

“Caitlin helped us out last minute and was extremely accommodating to our senior dog with anxiety. She shared pictures and her response times were great. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Lily and Philip are the best. We are currently going through a challenging period, and they are always ready to help when we need them. They not only cared for our dogs but kept our outdoor plants alive in this heat!”

“Symone was absolutely amazing. All the dogs warmed up to her quickly. She was very attentive to all their needs to include endless puppy snuggles. She checked in regularly sending picture updates. I would use her again and would recommend her!”

About: I've loved animals since I was a kid and have cared for many throughout my life! I was tasked with raising my family dog since she was a puppy when I was in high school, and I helped my college roommate with her puppy! I have walked/boarded many dogs and cats since moving to Virginia! Being in the military, my coworkers travel a lot so I have become the workplace's go-to "pet auntie." I genuinely love to spoil pets and providing them with a safe and homey environment while their loved ones are out! I have a fairly flexible work schedule so I can come back to my home or to your home to take care of your pet! Early morning, lunch, and evenings are especially free, so I can work around that depending on your needs. I do not own pets, so they will be here as a single child in the case they are boarded! Crates, food, litter boxes, etc will need to be provided as I don't own those things. I have access to many parks around my neighborhood, so walkability is not an issue!

“Thank you Rhea my fur baby’s never missed a beat , it was an easy transition. Rhea was on time sent plent of fur babies pics have fun. She cuddled my babies treated like they were her own. I highly recommend Rhea for house sitting. Even when one of my fur babies had an accident she cleaned up with no hesitation. We truly ❤️You for your outstanding service. I can tell you truly love ? what you do. Thanks The Canady’s”

About: Hello! My name is Alyssa and I am a 20 year old college student remotely studying Psychology and Criminal Justice. I’ve had dogs and a cat since I was young and was always held accountable to take care of them! I took a Veterinary Science class in High School and dealt with animals on a daily during this course (Bunnies and Puppies.) I have recently owned hamsters and fish as well that were 100% my responsibility. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have 4 years of paid experience with pet sitting for neighbors. Animals deserve the world and I love to make a difference in their lives even if they don’t understand it :) I am also willing to negotiate pricing based off your animals energy/need for attention/etc. Please reach out to me with any additional questions and I’d be happy to answer! I am currently a college student who is taking online courses to work on getting my degree. Other than daily assignments, I have no other daily commitments and will be available 90% of the time, other than my planned unavailability on my calendar! I have a large front and back yard with plenty of room to play. I do have an indoor/outdoor cat but she keeps to herself and is never a bother. I could easily keep her separated from your pet. If in your home, I will be sure to take all the steps you request and go above and beyond to ensure you and your animals are comfortable.

“Sarah was wonderful with our spoiled kitty and dog. Took Sofie swimming and continued to send photos and update us throughout the week.”

“Ashley was a wonderful sitter! She was very responsive and sent tons of pictures of my two dachshunds. She took such good care of the girls while we were away. We’d love to have her back anytime to sit for Harley and June. 🩷”

About: Just a runner training to make the Olympics. I run full time which is fun but doesn’t pay the bills yet. I work and train while coaching on the side. I live in Ballard and have transportation so getting around and taking care of pets isn’t an issue! Love working with all types of animals. House sitting is always fun. I have been house sitting since I was 14 and get asked every so often to fill in and watch the pets while keeping the house clean. Willing to do anything to accommodate and make things as easy as possible for owners! Can’t wait to get started! I’m currently working full time hours, but I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate most pets needs to be fed, walked, or played with I tend to ask questions about what the pets are allowed to do in home so that way I’m not breaking any rules or teaching unwanted habits.

About: I’ve never lived a day in my life without having a dog by my side, and I can confidently say that I can’t imagine it any other way. From puppies to our older friends, I love them just like they’re my own. After many years spent with different breeds, sizes, and ages, I am also well versed in pet first aid and common health conditions. I am especially fond of senior dogs and would be honored to care for them. I have recently begun a full time job in Richmond but still petsit often since I truly enjoy it. My schedule best suits check ins with pets in the mornings or evenings. You will never have to worry about how your baby is doing. Because of my own personal (and very anxiety inducing!) experiences with being away from my boy, I am very diligent about keeping pet parents in the loop.

About: I work at the VBSPCA in the kennel so I know dogs pretty well. I currently have a 7 year old dachshund named Leo who’s great with other dogs and cats. My work schedule varies month to month. I can walk dogs or take care of pets in your home if my work schedule allows, or I can board in my apartment (dog friendly dogs/cats or small animals). I also have years of experience medicating dogs, cats, and small animals, and can trim nails on dogs and cats. I work 10 hour shifts, 4 days a week at the VBSPCA. It varies each week but I do get a monthly schedule each month. I live in an apartment in Newtown on the 3rd floor. I walk my dog or take him to the dog park when he needs to go out. If your dog has a routine he/she follows, let me know and I can accommodate!

“Kellee took great care of Peluche while we were in DC overnight. He was a happy boy! We are looking forward to having her back to care for him in February.”

“Abigail and Victor were super flexible and easy to work with. They took time to do a nice meet and greet and were very prompt with their service.”

“Morgan was great with Frankie! She made sure she got some extra love while we were away. She also kept the house clean and was respectful. We will definitely book Morgan again.”

About: I have worked with animals the past several years in different environments consisting of shelters, clinics, dog walking, and even doggy daycares! I’ve had experience with dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, turtles, and pigs! I also have experience medicating pets for those that require it. I have such a passion for animals and can’t wait to meet your fur babies! 🐾🥰 I am currently working part time remotely from home making my schedule flexible to accommodate your fur babies! I am available weekdays and most weekends. I can drop in while your at work and take your pup on an adventure walk around the neighborhood or toss the ball in the back yard and give them some loveins! ❤️ If pet sitting I can stop in multiple times a day as requested and feed, water, play, and even medicate if needed. I am very detail oriented and follow all pet care instructions. I will always send some cute pics and a detailed report after each visit to keep you informed. I know our animals are our babies and I will always treat yours as I do my own!❤️🐾

“Melanie was very communicative and my dogs seemed to love her!”
