Dog Walking Sugarland Run

“I was able to book Irina last minute to watch our dogs and everything went well. She was friendly when meeting her. She provided the standard updates while away on the care our dogs received and was a good communicator. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been pet-sitting since I was a military-brat in Wiesbaden, Germany. I’ve continued to pet-sit and walk dogs off and on since moving to Nova in 2011. I’ve grown up mostly around dogs, but am just as fond of cats. I’ve also been in the childcare field for many years, from being a private nanny, to working as a Lead Teacher at a daycare. I’m good at staying calm in stressful situations, and always try my best to make others feel comfortable. My favorite thing about pet sitting is getting to see the big personalities people’s pets have. Throughout my years of pet sitting I’ve cared for everything from multiple Great Danes at once, houses full of cats, dogs , saltwater fish (and even shrimp). I’ve also got experience caring for senior dogs & puppies. I am currently transitioning out of childcare, and am looking forward to filling my weeks with more walks, drop-ins, and sits! I’m usually available for walks mornings-afternoons. I always make sure to treat my clients spaces with respect and leave their homes as clean, or even tidier, than I came to them. I like to send updates (pics, videos, and messages) throughout my services. I prefer open communication, and am not afraid to ask questions if it helps my clients and myself have a safer and more comfortable experience.

About: What sets me apart is my mix of reliability, attention to detail, and thoughtful, structured care. I make sure your pets needs are met while maintaining a calm, stable environment that helps them feel comfortable and secure. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies (with structured play and basic training reinforcement) and senior pets (gentle walks, medication, and extra patience). I’m detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and communicate consistently with updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing. Pet care is my full-time focus, which allows me to provide reliable, consistent care throughout the day, including mornings, mid-days, evenings, and weekends. I structure my schedule around the pets in my care while maintaining a realistic routine that supports their well-being. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, and preferences — while also ensuring they get the right balance of exercise, attention, and rest.

“Skyler is a great dog caretaker! She brings great energy to her job and the dogs love her positive nature. I have 2 dogs and Skyler is able to walk them both and understands their needs. She pays attention to the care instructions to make sure she is providing the optimal experience. She is a strong communicator being both responsive to requests and proactively sharing pictures and status along the way.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, so I’ve had years of experience caring for animals and learning how to handle different personalities and needs. I’ve dog sat before and really enjoyed it—it made me realize how much I love being around animals. I love both dogs and cats, and I feel really comfortable caring for either. I’m a trustworthy, responsible person who takes pet care seriously, whether that means sticking to routines, going on walks, or just making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, not just “watching” them. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits pretty easily into my routine. I’m flexible with my schedule, so I can plan around walks, feeding times, and whatever each pet needs day to day. I’m already someone who likes staying active and being out and about, so I don’t mind making time for drop-ins, walks, or longer stays. I’m good with sticking to routines and making sure pets get consistent care and attention while their owners are away. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and sticking closely to their normal routine, feeding, walks, meds if needed, and any specific instructions. I’m very mindful about safety, like making sure doors are locked, leashes are secure, and always keeping a close eye on pets. I treat every animal like my own, so I’m really attentive to their behavior and needs. I also respect the home I’m in and keep things clean and organized. Overall, I try to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel cared for while their owners are away.

About: I've been cat and dog sitting since 2016, staying at friends and family members' homes to provide care for pets while they're away. From that experience, I've learned about feeding, walking, and giving attention to each pet's needs. I'm always curious to learn more about them and being a reliable pet sitter for the family. I also like to volunteer at the local animal shelter. I work fully remote. Sometimes, I go in the office if needed, but my schedule is flexible. I just need a heads up at least 3+ days prior to make sure it works with my schedule. I prefer to stay at the client's home while they're away, so the pets can stay comfortable in their familiar space and get attention during the day.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages since I was young. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I’m available for pet care on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During these days, I have dedicated time to focus fully on each pet’s needs, including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I prioritize safety and follow all care instructions closely. I keep a clean, calm environment and always supervise pets. I’m comfortable with crates, routines, medications if needed, and I provide regular updates to pet parents for peace of mind.

It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our boys are in such great, caring hands while we're at work. Highly recommend!”

About: I am a lover of all animals and I currently have my tabby cat, April. My first pet sitting experiences started with my sister and long time friend, both of whom own two doggos. I like to send updates and pictures about every 2 hours and go on extended walks if your pet enjoys that. I’m also not scared to ask questions to ensure I’m giving your baby the best care possible. Special food instructions and medication with pill pockets have been common. Clients in the NOVA and DC area have emphasized that I’ve given them a peace of mind while they are away! I am a full time pet sitter and dog walker! I have plenty of open slots for walking. Recently I’ve been working with clients that I’ve met in person or through groups on Facebook, which is why you don’t see recent reviews on here. Feel free to follow Soso’s Pet Care on FB! When caring for your fur baby, I will carefully follow any instructions given to me regarding feeding, play time, and walking. I’ll always ensure the safety of your pet comes first, staying aware and cautious of other dogs, bikers, and traffic. Gaining their trust and giving them affection follows right behind that!

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with several years of hands-on experience in pet sitting, dog walking, and providing attentive care for dogs and cats. Through my experience in both professional pet care and a veterinary hospital setting, I've developed a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and the importance of making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm happy to accommodate different personalities, routines, and needs, whether that means going for walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications as directed, or simply providing some extra companionship while you're away.

About: Hi! My name is Isabella; I go by Izzy and I've been a reliable pet sitter for the past 5 years. During college, I was an in-house pet sitter for a 2-year-old Maltese and also regularly in-house sat for a lab mix and Husky. I would also occasionally watch my friends' dogs during long holiday weekends here and there. When completing my Master's I offered drop-in visits to residents in my apartment complex and gained plenty of experience walking different breeds of all sizes and ages. I understand that every pet has an established routine and unique needs, so I like to build trust with the pets I sit and value creating a meaningful bond by learning each pet's personalities, habits, and preferences. I work full time in-person in Washington, D.C., Monday-Wednesday and remotely from Herndon, VA Thursdays and Fridays. My schedule allows me to flexibly work around the DMV, with greater daytime flexibility on my remote workdays and availability before or after work when I am in the office for D.C. residents. I can work remote from anywhere which is helpful for pet parents wanting a sitter starting on Wednesday evenings to Sunday if traveling over a weekend. I value open communication and like to provide as many updates as possible/as frequently as owners would like through photos or just casual check-in texts. I believe honesty is the best policy and bring up any concerns immediately to the owners. I always ask about emergency contacts/emergency vet locations in case it is ever needed. Building trust with owners is just as important as building a strong bond with your furry friend, so I like to get to know owners before sitting and talk about our communication styles.

About: Your fur baby will have a great/safe time! I am an all around animal lover who believes you treat pets as a part of your family (as they are!) Your doggy will enjoy ample outside time, walks, cuddles and all around the clock loving! The only requirement is your doggy will have to be small kid friendly as I do have an 9 and 4 year old. Does your dog require medication? No worries! I am familiar with administrating medication. Need anything additional to provide for your dog? Ask away! I am very flexible. I look forward to spending time with your fur baby! I stay home full time and will be able to cater to your dogs every need and your every request. This makes it very easy for me to send plenty of pictures and updates. During your dogs stay they will be looked out for with care. During walks they will remain on a leash. I can also provide a crate if needed as well, dogs will only be crated per owner request.

“Ivy loves her walks with Kate and she is a very selective dog. She gets so excited when she's sees her come up the driveway. Kate has a natural way with animals that makes them immediately comfortable. Highly recommend.”
