“She is punctual and responsive to all messages. Tiffany is very personal, professional and patient with our dogs. She allowed my older dog to relax and chill out while at the same time, she played with my very energetic and playful puppy.”

“Erica was prompt with all communication and I’m pretty sure my home is cleaner than I left it. I appreciated her frequent updates, especially considering our dog can be a handful. I’m glad to have found a trustworthy sitter who is willing to care for our pet in our own home. We’ve already booked her again!”

“I’ve lost count of how many times Aubrianna has taken care of our pups and she’s always the best! We come home to happy boys and a clean house every time. Her communication is perfect and she’s always reliable!”

“Liza was great! Super flexible and great communication. My dogs got into a scuffle (no fault of Liza’s whatsoever!) and she handled it great, communicated with me immediately and kept me up to date. My farm and dogs are not the easiest to handle and I was very happy with how Liza managed them all and was incredibly respectful of my home”
“Odessa took such good care of our two baby puppies. I was fully prepared o come home to anxiety ridden puppies but they were so chill and happy!! I felt so good about having her at our house. She was very kind and calm. And came over at the last minute to watch our two cavachons for the first time. I really appreciate her so much and absolutely plan on having her come over to puppy sit again. Our home was just as we left it and our puppies were so happy!!! We love Odessa and our puppies love her!!!”

“Matisa was wonderful with our 2 dogs and 2 cats! She even stayed an extra night at last minute when we were stranded at an airport on vacation. We appreciate her willingness to be flexible!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds and personalities. I have my own 11-year-old Shih Tzu named Summer, so I understand the patience, attentiveness, and love senior dogs need. I’ve cared for my aunt’s Chihuahua, including administering medication mixed into her dinner. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules and giving oral medications as directed. I’ve also stayed overnight in multiple homes caring for several dogs at once through trusted family and friend connections. Additionally, I regularly help care for my best friend’s two Boxers, including feeding them and giving the older dog a half pill each morning. I currently attend George Mason University and have one class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I’m flexible outside of class times and plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive consistent, reliable care. I am available for pet sitting in both the Stafford and Fairfax areas. However, boarding services are only available in Stafford, where my home is located. I’m happy to coordinate details in advance to make sure your pet’s routine is maintained and everything runs smoothly while you’re away. When boarding pets in my home, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. Visiting pets will always be kept separate from my 11-year-old Shih Tzu to ensure a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. My dog will stay either in my parents’ room or in the sunroom during boarding stays. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any specific instructions provided. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their normal routine to minimize stress. My goal is to create a safe, structured, and loving environment wherever your pet is staying.

“Gabriel was a great pet sitter for my little guy! On time, left my place clean and always communicated! He will take great care of any animal. I’ll definitely be booking him again!”

“Melissa was incredible. It was our first time having a housesitter and Melissa exceeded our expectations. We got multiple updates and photos each day without having to ask. Our house was immaculate and our puppy was happy. So grateful for Melissa!”

“Chelsea was absolutely amazing. I had her come to my house and meet my Buddy right away, I knew she was the one!! My dog takes medication no problem giving it to him. She just has such a nice way about her and her love for animals. Definitely will be having her back to watch my Buddy on our next vacay. Highly Recommended”

“Elizabeth did an amazing job caring for my pets! She was reliable, attentive, and provided regular updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pets were happy and well cared for, and I truly appreciate the effort and love she put into her work. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
