House Sitting in Unison

About: I have over 100 hours of volunteer experience at the Middleburg Humane Foundation, where I spent countless hours walking, feeding, and socializing a wide range of breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs. I also received certification to walk dogs of different temperaments and sizes. In addition, I have over 6 years of experience in dog sitting and walking for my neighbors. I have a genuine love for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Whether they are lazy lap dogs or playful and energetic, I guarantee great care. As a recent college graduate, I have an open schedule ready to fit in with your schedule. I am available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight! I guarantee proper clean-up and disposal during walks, and I ensure to keep your home neat and tidy. When messes occur, I am quick to clean and leave the area better than I found it. With over 6 years of experience in dog sitting and walking for my neighbors, I have a perfect track record of keeping their homes cleaner than I found them and making sure any messes have been taken care of.

About: I started taking care of neighbors' and friends' dogs, cats, fish, hamsters and birds when I was 14 years old. I love animals and wildlife of all kinds. I have been a cat and dog mom for 28 years and have had 2 leash and dog-reactive dogs (strong, 60 pound+ mutt and pit bull) so I am experienced in dealing with these situations. I have strong situational awareness with my head on a swivel when walking dogs. My senior kitty required specialized medical care at the end of her life with daily prescription medication and subcutaneous fluids. I have volunteered as a dog walker and cat snuggler at Friends of Homeless Animals rescue. I have been a social worker for 30 years and am nearing retirement from full-time employment. I would love to use my love of animals to continue working as a pet-sitter and dog walker. I am very organized, detail-oriented and will care for your pet as I care for my own. I would love to meet you and your pets to see how I can be of service. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday but am retiring at the end of September. My weekends are currently free. I have some flexibility in my weekday schedule so I may be available on a case-by-case basis for weekday dog walks that are in western Loudoun County and within a 10 minute drive of my home. I will care for your pet in your home so that they will be the most comfortable. I am available for overnight stays to keep your pet company and to provide close supervision, lots of TLC, food, water, potty breaks and anything else you may need. I am a non-smoker and non-drinker. I am very detail-oriented, responsible and dependable. As a bit of an overprotective dog mom, I have needed to entrust my dog's care to a pet sitter. My dog is my world. So I know just how valuable trust, dependability and attention to detail are. What matters to you matters to me. I will follow your instructions down to the smallest detail. I will be diligent in communicating with you, sending regular updates and photos of your pet so that you know they are safe and happy in my care.

About: I grew up with 2 Labrador retrievers, who I grew a special bond with where I grew to love taking care of dogs! I now have a 3 year old German Shepherd pure bred, who I raised and helped to train. I just adopted a Hound, who is a 2 year old rescue. I love walking my dogs everyday, and also driving them to parks as well. I feed my dogs everyday, and have always been known to be taking care of dogs my whole life. I am 21 years old, and a student at East Carolina University. I come home very often, especially during breaks, and live here all summer! My pets are apart of my everyday life, and I am willing to take care and spend valuable time with pets whenever needed and necessary for you! I am willing to do just about anything with your pets, such as spending time playing with them, walking them, going to a park, feeding them, making sure they go to bed safe, whatever fits you and your pets needs!

“Camille was so sweet with my puppy Remy:) she took such great care of her while I was gone on extended leave. I didn’t have to worry about Remy at all while I was away. Highly recommend her to others looking for pet sitting”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old and have years of hands on experience caring for animals. I currently work at a kennel where I care for all kinds of dogs, with specialized experience in administering medication, cleaning and bathing, and safe, confident handling. In addition to dogs and cats, I also have experience caring for exotic pets, including birds and reptiles. I am currently working part-time, so I am available to drop in during most hours every day of the week. My flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate last-minute requests, midday walks, or specific feeding times to ensure your pet stays perfectly on track with their usual routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress free. I make sure all feeding, walks, playtime, and litter box or cleanup needs are handled carefully, and I closely monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health. I also administer medications when needed and keep the home clean and secure, providing updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, patient, and experienced pet lover who treats every animal like family. Whether your pet is high-energy and playful or calm and cuddly, I adjust to their personality and needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, as well as cats and other small pets. I’m comfortable with administering medications, sticking to specific feeding schedules, long walks, crate training, senior care, and puppy routines. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. You can expect: • Plenty of exercise and playtime • Consistent routines • Clean food and water bowls • Lots of affection and attention • Regular photo and video updates I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I communicate clearly and promptly so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your pet! Feel free to reach out with any questions — I’m happy to schedule a meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a perfect fit. I’m currently working part time and am available for drop ins, walks and cuddles Thursday - Sundays - I am happy to overnight board as well I have a fenced yard with 3 acres and beautiful country roads for strolling and spending quality time with your pup - we currently do not have pets

“Emelyn was great!! She house sat for our dog Freya for 6 days in May, responding to our last minute request for help. Emelyn met us and Freya at our home a couple days prior to our trip, and Freya took to her right away!! Emelyn was responsive to texts, sending us regular multiple-daily updates and photos, which we were super thankful for!!! We got home Friday night to a happy, cared-for pup and a very clean house! Thanks so much for everything Emelyn! Freya says hi and thank you, too!😊”

“Celina was great with our two pugs! One of them is very people shy, and she had him snuggling with her in no time! She kept us informed as to how our fur babies were doing throughout the weekend. Will definitely use her again!”

“Sierra was absolutely AMAZING watching my dogs and house for a week. She gave regular updates, photos, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I came home to happy dogs and a spotless house - it was even cleaner than when I left! It's rare to find someone so reliable, communicative, trustworthy, and genuinely caring with animals. I would 100% hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter/house sitter. Honestly... I almost hate to share her because she's THAT good lol.”

Haley H.

“Noor was such a great house/pet sitter for us! She was very understanding when we had sudden changes in our plans and our pets absolutely loved her! She also left our home in excellent condition. 10/10 would recommend!”

Jeffrey P.

“Was gone for about 3 days. Jessica was able to provide me with a morning and afternoon report on how my pets were doing and sent me plenty of pictures. I was so grateful and was able to enjoy my trip knowing that they were in good hands. My 2 cats and pup were so comfortable with her. Definitely recommend and will rebook again!”

About: Hi, I'm restarting my animal care business. I want to ensure a stimulated experience with a swift pace and consistent disciplined walking style of what I like to refer to as "nose to toes," where the dogs stay no further than my toe, to my sides, or behind me. I also have experience with aggressive dog behavior, so if a single walk is necessary, I can do that. I have been in the animal care business for as long as I can remember, and I know Fairlington very well since I grew up here. I now live in Harper's Ferry in West Virginia. I will be able to track my walks with a phone app that will track your dog's walking pace, distance traveled, and the route we take. I usually do pack walks of 3-5 dogs depending on size, but I can do singles if needed. I'm also able to cat-sit/dog-sit and care for exotics and birds (no insects). I'm flexible because I have my own cleaning/organizing/declutter business. I wake up however early dog might need be let out or pet given meds, and give at least 3 long 30min-hour walks depending on the energy level and few let outs throught the day if needed for young pups or older if bladder is sensitive. Plenty of loves and can work on training or stimulated play time with toys and puzzles. I will be professional and not have any guests over ever, and always keep doors locked when not there and if plants need care I can help with watering. I have 4 animals myself so it's pretty automatic to just add another pet cuz I've cared for multiple animals at a time or drop in visits when needed throughout my day. Whatever the fmaily requests for schedule when to feed, medicate(if needed), amount of walks and play time needed to make sure they're healthy and stimulated. Whenever they're ready for bed, crate if needed requested by parents, and make sure they go outside(dogs) to ensure no accidents throughout the night. I give them just as much love and attention and play as my own. And feed round same schedule unless instructed otherwise. Giving exercise and play time when needed. And kept to routine of crating if owners instruct.

“We are so grateful that Anahita was able to help us with Boomer, even though it was a little last minute. She was very attentive and responsive. Very lucky to have her close by!!”

“Jon and Leonarda took excellent care of my 2 young, active dogs. It’s so great to know my fur kids are having a great time if I am unable to bring them along while traveling. I will absolutely book them again and highly recommend them.”

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life and have taken part in the good and the bad - partaking in puppy training through supporting end of life care. To me, pets are family so I understand first hand how important it is to have reliable, trustworthy care! I send lots of pics and give lots of loving!! I’m a stay at home mom of 4 with 3 kids in school now so I have some extra time on my hands! I would love to weave in regular walks or the occasional pop-in to meet your pet care needs. My care depends on the routine of the client. I try my best to maintain normalcy for the pet and accommodate the needs of each family. Because I stay home with the kids I have the flexibility for multiple walks, feeds, check-ins throughout the day!

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life, always living in a home with three or more dogs and at least two cats. At one point, my family also bred Great Danes, which gave me experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and needs. Because of this background, I am very compassionate toward animals and am eager to become more involved in working with them. Im looking to save money for college so as much work as possible is helpful! I will be communicative and let you know if it fits my schedule! at home, I have a large front yard as well as a fenced in back yard. I have 3 dogs however I would more than likely keep your pet away from my animals just to be safe and respectful. I will be able to go on long walks with your animals and give them a great experience!

“This was my second booking with Brooke. Words cannot express how happy and satisfied we are with the love and care that she provides to our fur babies. They were relaxed and happy when we returned home from our trip. They have accepted Brooke has part of our family, so the transition for them when we go out of town is so easy for them. No more stressing for them when they see us taking suitcases downstairs because that means Brooke is coming! Brooke texted me every day sometimes twice a day to update me on them and sent me pictures nearly everyday. Highly recommend Brooke!”
