“Aashna and Sidanth took excellent care of our dog. Communication was fantastic – they sent updates and photos twice a day. We felt very comfortable leaving him with them and would definitely rebook.”
“Indy seemed to have a great time with Byamba and his family. They took him on morning and evening walks. Also sent pics from time to time. Thanks so much for taking such good care of Indy!”
“Shanilka was an absolute lifesaver! This was my first time ever leaving Toby with a sitter, and she made the whole process completely stress-free. Right before I dropped him off, Toby got into a chicken bone (of course), but Shanilka wasn't fazed. She was calm and happy to keep an extra eye on him, which was such a relief. She sent plenty of photos and videos while I was away so I always knew how he was doing. It was so clear Toby got tons of love and had a wonderful time. I’ll definitely be booking with Shanilka again. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Erin took great care of our senior dog for over a week! We felt very good about leaving him with her, and would definitely board with her again in the future.”
“Jason and Becky gave my dog the highest level of attention and care. My dog is a shepherd mix with relatively high energy. They took the best care of him while I was gone for a few days.”
“Diana and her family took great care of our puppy while we were out of town. She sent daily updates and photos and was quick to respond to messages! We would trust Diana again with Pepper Ann if she is available!”
“Diana did an incredible job taking care of Roxie! I was away on a long trip and I felt at ease knowing Roxie was in great hands. I received daily pictures and videos and Roxie looked so happy and comfortable. I highly recommend Diana and plan on using her again in the future!”
“Lina was an incredible host to our dog, Leo. She was extremely diligent of all the instructions we left for her, including his medication and care schedule, gave Leo a lot of love and attention, and was very communicative with us throughout the stay. Would rebook with her in a heartbeat!”
“Kerstyn was absolutely amazing! She was so kind to our dog, took the time to give me updates on how he was doing each day and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable (given he has a lot of anxiety). Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would love to have our dog stay with her again. Our dog Wilson came home more happy than ever! Thanks so much Kerstyn!”
“Our mini schnauzer Django appears to have had a wonderful week staying with Yi. It was practically a summer camp since there were always several dogs in the house. Yi is clearly very experienced with dog care, and her house and spacious yard are perfectly set up for the boarders. She had no problem administering medication and preparing Django’s special meals. She was always responsive and sent us pictures multiple times each day. We could not be happier with the experience and would definitely board Django with Yi again.”
“Evan and Megan were great sitters! They communicated well the entire time we were gone and sent us pics to keep us up to date on how our puppy was doing. Highly recommended.”
“Thanks for taking such good care of our Romeo! He loved your home so much that he didn't want to leave! Thanks for sending all the adorable photos and updates, too. I hated to be away from our little fur ball, but at least had the piece of mind that he was living the good life in your home. ❤️”
“Johanna was such a wonderful sitter for our dog Rylo. He can be a little nervous in new environments, but we felt like we were in expert hands with Johanna. She shared regular updates and photos and was so great to work with. Rylo already can’t wait to play with her again soon!”
“Great sitting service! She accepts last minute bookings. I am a busy, busy, young mom & professional. Barely have time to leave a review, but because her service is great, I took my time to do so. Thank you! Lady & Sierra love you!”
“Lee Ann and her family did an amazing job caring for Murphy while we were out of town for a wedding. She was very communicative and kept us informed about how Murphy was doing. Her children and husband were very sweet and friendly, and Murphy seemed at ease. I would absolutely board him with them again and really appreciate the care she took with our dog, especially because he is still a puppy and still has some behaviors that can be difficult (marking in new environments!). Thanks Lee Ann!”
“Kyle was such a wonderful sitter for my pup over the long weekend! Ringo was well taken care of, socializing with his dogs, and I received daily updates and pictures. It was a wonderful, calm environment.”
“Mike is an excellent choice to care for your dog. He’s friendly, knowledgeable, and makes sure pups get plenty of walks and attention. He’s also a great option if your dog enjoys companionship—he sometimes hosts a few dogs at a time, which creates a fun, social environment. Another big plus: he’s located near a wooded area that’s perfect for safe, enriching adventures and outdoor exploration. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog sitter. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up on a farm and I have been caring for pets and animals all my life. I had 6 dogs growing up on the farm and I had to care for most of them. I also have extensive knowledge on caring for puppies and elderly animals. As well as dogs in heat and pregnant. I work from home as I own another business that is completely hands off. So I love to be able to help people with their pets in the meantime. The pets will love the home we allow them to roam unless directed by owner to be in the cage. Also we have a backyard that is nice and fenced so they can poop and play.

“Sharon was a truly wonderful sitter for my cat! She was always a fast responder and very reliable and caring. She even brought one of her own cat toys to entertain my pet. Would highly recommend her great service!”
About: Cats of all shapes and sizes and purrrrsonalities galore! Between working with two small pet sitter companies and my experience as a teen and on, I have enjoyed the time with clients and friends kitties. I can administer most meds, may need extra hands if a visit or client needs IV sessions at home. I currently have a 9 year old tabby, Thor, who I've had since kittenhood. He's the model for the photo here ;)
“Stephanie stepped in on short notice and took great care of our dog and cat while we were away? She left helpful notes, sent photos and gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were out of town! I would definitely recommend her and will reach out to her when we travel again.”
About: My experience with cats began 10 years ago when I adopted my two babies, Icey and Roy. They are my world. My boyfriend has his own pet sitting/pet boarding business where I regularly help out. I have experience with kittens and senior cats alike. I love to provide cats with time, attention, affection, care, and play time if needed. I have experience with administering oral, ear, and eye medication. Looking forward to connecting with you and building long lasting relationships with you & your pets ☺️
“Nicole took great care of my cat while I was out of town. She is reliable and trustworthy. Highly recommend and hope to work with her again next time I'm away!”
About: I’ve owned three cats in my life Lucas, Jasmine and Garfield. Sadly Garfield is no longer with us as he passed away a few years ago of a heart attack, but Lucas and Jasmine are still around and hopefully stay that way for many years to come.
“Hannah did an amazing job watching our cat while we were out of town for the week! She checked in regularly and sent pictures each visit. Would absolutely recommend her!”
“Thanks for taking such good care of our Romeo! He loved your home so much that he didn't want to leave! Thanks for sending all the adorable photos and updates, too. I hated to be away from our little fur ball, but at least had the piece of mind that he was living the good life in your home. ❤️”
About: I’ve been a cat person for as long as I can remember, with a lifetime of hands-on pet care and 12 years of professional experience in veterinary medicine — including emergency and critical care, surgery, anesthesia, recovery, and everything in between. I’ve also cared for cats with more complicated medical needs. I’m comfortable giving medications, caring for senior cats, noticing subtle changes in behavior or health, and working with cats who are nervous, shy, spicy, or simply very particular about who earns their affection. I actually love that about them. Give me a cat who needs three days to decide whether I’m acceptable company, and I will happily respect the process. 😂 I have a cat of my own, so I fully understand that “cat sitting” is not just filling a bowl and scooping a litter box. Their routines matter. Their favorite hiding spots matter. The exact way they like their dinner served somehow matters VERY much. Tell me what makes your cat feel comfortable, and I’ll follow their routine as closely as possible. You’ll also get plenty of photos and updates while you’re away, whether your cat becomes my best friend immediately or spends the whole visit supervising me suspiciously from across the room. 🐈⬛
“Vitality B. Is fantastic pet sitter. He's responsible, dependable, and our kitties love having him around. He sends us updates and we feel very fortunate to find him through Rover. This is our first time using an app to book a pet sitter. And this is our 3rd time having Vitali here at our home. You will have peace of mind if you hire Vitali. And your pets will love him too!!”
About: I have had cats all my life and absolutely adore my cat, Leo! He takes daily medication for his heart, so I have a lot of practice with getting cats to take their medicine haha Cats all have distinct personalities, and I love getting to know them, even if it takes some time (or treats)!
“Pam took very good care of our two cats. Unfortunately our rambunctiou 10-month old kitten injured his leg (not her fault) shortly after we left for two weeks and she ended up taking him to the vet twice, administering his meds, and looking after him while he was confined to one room on vet's orders to help him heal. Through it all she was very caring and concerned and kept us fully informed on what was going on. Knowing she had trained as a vet tech reassured us that the cats were in good hands and let us enjoy the rest of our vacation.”
About: Ive grown up with dogs since I was 4 years old and had independently trained them on my own. I’m a BIG animal lover cats AND dogs of all sorts. Any pet sitting/walking endeavors you seek I am more than happy to help out especially with the current season of summer travelling! ⚠️ For safety for me and your pet, I cannot accept dogs over 60 lbs ⚠️ I have FULL availability during LABOR DAY WEEKEND. Any help you need to fully enjoy your weekend and last minute vacations can be found and easily booked through my profile! I attend community college during the fall and early winter seasons, so I will be available during the school season as well. I will communicate times that work for me and that work best for you and your pet! I keep track of very specific introduction you provide such as training protocols for feeding and interaction with other dogs. So far in my experience I have been able to adapt to various personalities of different dogs and enable them to have a safe and comforting experience with new people
“10/10 would hire Elizabeth again. Elizabeth watched my shy (and occasionally jumpy) cat during a home stay. I got regular photo updates of my cat playing, eating, and living her best life while I was away. I was very impressed Elizabeth got her to interact at all! Elizabeth also took good care of my fish (I got photos of him too). I walked in to a clean, quiet house, which was a great way to come home. Moreover, Elizabeth was extremely accommodating with arrival and departure times when she absolutely didn’t have to be. After her, I’m not sure I’ll want a different house sitter.”

“Thanks for taking Chelsea at the last minute. There was a little miscommunication but at the end things turned out good. Chelsea got his Christmas gift with lots of toys from Sasha place. Thank you :)”
“Loreen was really patient with Milo, who is a bit skittish around strangers. She took the time to get him acquainted with her house, yards and kids. She and the kids genuinely love Milo and she sent great pictures of his stay at her house. I’ll definitely use her again!”
“Shanilka was super responsive and understanding of my dog's needs!! She was very kind and prompt with pick up and drop off so I didn't have to wait long in the cold. Highly recommend!!”

“Diana did an excellent job watching my dog. She asked about his likes and dislikes beforehand and was good at communicating drop-off and pick-up. She kept him entertained throughout the day with games of fetch and walks. I would definitely have her watch my dog again.”
“Our dogs, Rizzo and Ginger, spent the day with Andy in Day Care when we needed to go out of town. This is their second time with Andy and he is wonderful with them. He sent us some pictures of them, took them on walks, and put together a "report card" on what they did during the day. Andy is so good with dogs and we are also happy knowing they are in a safe and loving environment. We will certainly use Andy again!”
“We used Byamba's dog sitting services for our English Bull Terrier this weekend. Our dog, Blanca, had a wonderful time at his house while we were out to brunch with our friends. He took such great care of her in the few hours we left her with him. They went on a walk and played in the backyard! Even though she was only there for a few hours, we received multiple photos. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Blanca for us today, Byamba!!!”
About: My interest in dogs started 5 years when I became a dog musher in the winters! Then I signed up as a weekly volunteer with my local dog shelter. And I take the shelter dogs on fun field trips (hikes, parks, canoeing on the potomac- you name it)! I don't have pets of my own so my time is dedicated fully to other people's dogs and cats. I also work part time from home and have a very flexible schedule. I will make sure I understand you and your dog's needs, and work together as a team and your dog has a super fun adventure and time will fly!
About: I previously owned a wonderful dog named Ollie, who taught me just how important love, patience, and routine are when it comes to pet care. Although I no longer have a dog of my own, I miss having them around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I am readily available to give your dog long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and cuddles. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a fenced yard and have gates that I can setup inside the house if need be. I will follow any instructions given for the care of your pet.
“2nd time using Yi. Super responsive, shares pics of our beloved fur baby throughout the stay. Yi asks for a text notification 30 minutes prior to pickup and then shows up with your baby in hand none the worse for wear and a bit tuckered out from an incredible day of romping. Happy pup = happy mom! So happy to have found Yi!”
“Shayla is the absolute best! She is a true professional and so warm and awesome. We are incredibly grateful to have found her. We have 2 dogs (4 years & 10mos) who both adore her. Our puppy was incredibly shy but just a couple days with Shayla and she really came out of her shell. Shayla has such a natural gift for caring for animals and her house has an awesome yard and secure setup. We let her know about our concerns about our older dog being an escape artist and she walked us through the various measures in place to ensure his safety including she has even worked on threshold manners when him so he doesn’t walk through the door until he’s told it’s okay to. She also knows just how to manage my puppy’s anxiety and doesn’t see her anxiety as a hassle but is instead so empathetic and dedicated to building her confidence. She introduced our dogs to her dogs over time and in a way that didn’t stress my puppy out. She takes them on lots of walks and they come back from day care happy and tired!”
About: I’ve cared for many of my own dogs & dogs of friends, gf’s, etc. since the late 1980s. I’m a long time dog owner and dog lover, who is also a professional and former small business owner - who is mature, responsible, and serious. On the professional side, I have a combination of organizational/business management and basic sales/marketing & customer service training. I own a single family home with a large yard. My “main job” is in tech and I work from home nearly every day. I’m minutes away from a large park as well. The pets (and people) under my care receive a lot of loving attention in a safe, higher end neighborhood. I have a fenced yard backing up to a very serene, wooded/natural setting with tons of trees. If needed, my home has specific crates/cages and multiple rooms, depending on what the circumstances require. However, usually most pets are allowed to roam freely throughout most of the house and yard, as long as they do not conflict with or disrupt others.
About: We would love to take care of your small hypo-allergenic dog for you while you are away. Our shih-tzu, Snuffy, is great with other dogs and has plenty of toys to share. Your dog will enjoy a minimum of two longer walks per day and two additional shorter potty breaks. We will text you photos of your dogs in action or lounging. Your dog will not be left alone for long. I work mostly from home. I have two boys, ages 15 and 18 who are very responsible and help with the care of your dog. Our dog sleeps wherever he wants, and so can your dog. We have a fenced in backyard, but we supervise the dogs while they are in the backyard because we have a pool. We have four of us living and working at home who are available to feed, walk, and entertain your dog. We feed the dogs in the morning and in the evening. We have tons of dog toys and a fenced in back yard for potty breaks. Since we already have two dogs, our home is dog proof. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and our dogs share their toys. We send pictures every day with updates.
About: I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a previous dedicated dog owner ourselves (we recently lost our German shepherd) I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Your pet won’t just receive food, water, and walks, they’ll get attention, affection, playtime, and a comfortable home environment where they can feel safe and loved. I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re away, so I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout your pet’s stay. My goal is simple: for your pet to have such a great time that they’re excited to come back for their next visit. I currently work from home full time and my husband and I are also generally home during the weekends as well! We have a ton of time to Pets in our home are treated like family. We follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks (as energy permits), playtime, medications, and any other special instructions. Whether your pet loves playing, exploring, or curling up for a nap, we make sure they receive the care and companionship they need while you’re away.
“Lina took great care of our excited little pup. Excellent communication before, during, and even after care. We really appreciated the updates and photos and wouldn't hesitate to book with Lina again.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for animals my entire life. I previously worked for a dog walking service in Bethesda. Let me enrich your dogs day with walks, pets, and treats! I care for animals as a full time job. Your pup’s happiness is my main concern. I’m available every weekend and all major (and minor!) holidays. I have a fenced in yard and two well-socialized pups who are just dying to run around with your fur baby! I provide walks every two hours. Conveniently located near BCC.
“Did an awesome job with my young energetic puppy! And was very communicative about timing with pickup due to some family responsibilities. I really appreciated her communication and updates”

About: I’ve had experience with both dogs and cats since I was a toddler! My family has always had Sheltie dogs, and I have always had cats of my own! I have experience as a foster parent to cats and kittens of all sizes. My cat Tater Tot is a foster fail! I also have experience dog and cat sitting for friends over the years, including in home care, dog walking, senior dog care, and puppy care as I raised my own dog, Honey, from just a few months old! I am currently in the midst of starting my own pastry business, so I am extremely flexible as I work through the paperwork and business planning! I am completely flexible in my schedule, and am available any day of the week any time as my work is a currently remote and flexible! I currently do not offer care in my home, but I am very comfortable doing pet care in clients homes. My most recent dog-sitting client had three dogs of various ages and temperaments, and I was comfortable entering the home, walking and spending time with them, feeding and giving the elderly dog medication, then crating the two others! As a pet parent, I know how important it is to spend quality time and play time with pets while they are missing their family!
“Moiz was a great dog walker for our two large Bernese Mt dogs. Each of them have quirks and he handled it beautifully . He followed up with good notes and pictures after each walk. We will definitely use him again!”
About: I’m a pre-vet student who just graduated from UVA and has grown up with two large dogs! I’ve also recently owned a hamster from a college lab! I have a lot of experience dog and cat sitting for friends and family including puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and cats. I also have about 100 hours of dog walking experience from a shelter so I am comfortable with reactive/fearful/energetic dogs, and another 100 from shadowing at a vet practice. I just got a vet assistant job so usually it requires me to be away for 6 hours! I can only do all day pet sitting on Wednesdays and Sundays which I have off! I always make sure that I understand the instructions that I’m given and maintain clear communication with the owner if I have any questions. I never make any assumptions and always make sure that the owner is comfortable with any decisions that need to be made.

“Jonathan was wonderful with Teddy! You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure Teddy had a great walk and was comfortable along the way.

About: Welcome to my Rover profile, it's nice to e-meet you! ABOUT ME I am a reliable, flexible, and experienced pet sitter and American Red Cross Animal First Aid & CPR certified. I've been pet sitting, dog walking, and an animal lover since I was 11. I grew up with cats in my parents' home, dreamed of owning a dog, and was the go-to kid on the block when neighbors went out of town and needed someone to care for their pets. In college, I volunteered at Richmond Animal Care & Control for 4 years. During this time, I received hands-on instruction in: -fear-free behavioral training and positive reinforcement -reading dog and cat body language -dog reactivity management and care -medication administration -senior and special needs animal care Post-grad I moved to the DC area, and reconnected with neighbors, friends, and family that had pets in need of care. I also began volunteering with Montgomery County Animal Care and Adoption Center, where I regularly walk dogs, wash blankets/ toys, and feed cats. In 2020 and 2021, I became a pet parent to two Alaskan Klee Kai, Bowie and Stevie. They bring so much joy to my day to day and I can't imagine life without them. Having pets of my own, I know first-hand how important it is to find the the right person you can trust with your pet.

About: Hi! I’m Lorena, a reliable and caregiver who truly enjoys taking care of animals 🐾 I have several years of hands-on caregiving experience, and I also cared for a reactive dog for over 4 years. Through that experience, I became very comfortable reading dog behavior, managing different temperaments, and using basic training techniques to create a calm and safe environment. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, especially if they have specific needs, so I always prioritize patience, safety, and consistency. I’m happy to follow routines, reinforce training, and adapt to what works best for your pet. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or spending quality time with your pet, I’ll treat them with the same level of care and attention I would expect for my own. I’m dependable, responsive, and committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos during each visit so you always know how your pet is doing! I work from home, so I’m able to give pets consistent attention and supervision throughout the day. This means your dog will have company, care, and a calm environment while you’re away. I live in a secure apartment building, which provides a safe and controlled environment for pets in my care. I’m mindful about safety at all times and make sure pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and well looked.
About: Hi everyone, My name is Rachel and I am a huge animal lover who is passionate about providing the best care and companionship for our furry friends. I have been pet sitting for close to 7 years now, through Wag and also with Rover. Experience in administering medicine for both cats and dogs. I grew up with animals, as I had taken care of my own dog-Misia, a coackapoo, for 10 years and my mother with her Havanese dog, Tomo, of 4 years (and on-going!) I lead an active lifestyle and take dogs out for a long walk or find fun ways to play with cats too. I want to make sure I can provide a tailored approach to make sure your pets' needs are met as a photo enthusiast, happy to take pictures and provide an update throughout a boarding and/or a sitting especially. Coming up close to 7 years of being a pet sitter for Wag, Rover and individual clients, I would be honored to be your reliable pet sitter! I will be out of the country starting Sep 6 until mid November. I will have access to internet so if you are looking for services after mid-November, then please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you 😊 First and foremost what's important is that I understand the client's needs and their instructions on how to take care of their pets. Once you book my service, I would be more than happy to do an in-person meet and greet or a video call. If there are any further instructions (beyond what is listed on the Rover app), then I am happy to provide my personal email address if you would like to e-mail the instructions. These are the steps I take to ensure I can take care of the clients' pets in a safe and trusting environment.

“Aashna and Sidanth took excellent care of our dog. Communication was fantastic – they sent updates and photos twice a day. We felt very comfortable leaving him with them and would definitely rebook.”
“Indy seemed to have a great time with Byamba and his family. They took him on morning and evening walks. Also sent pics from time to time. Thanks so much for taking such good care of Indy!”
“Shanilka was an absolute lifesaver! This was my first time ever leaving Toby with a sitter, and she made the whole process completely stress-free. Right before I dropped him off, Toby got into a chicken bone (of course), but Shanilka wasn't fazed. She was calm and happy to keep an extra eye on him, which was such a relief. She sent plenty of photos and videos while I was away so I always knew how he was doing. It was so clear Toby got tons of love and had a wonderful time. I’ll definitely be booking with Shanilka again. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Erin took great care of our senior dog for over a week! We felt very good about leaving him with her, and would definitely board with her again in the future.”
“Jason and Becky gave my dog the highest level of attention and care. My dog is a shepherd mix with relatively high energy. They took the best care of him while I was gone for a few days.”
“Kerstyn was absolutely amazing! She was so kind to our dog, took the time to give me updates on how he was doing each day and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable (given he has a lot of anxiety). Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would love to have our dog stay with her again. Our dog Wilson came home more happy than ever! Thanks so much Kerstyn!”
“Evan and Megan were great sitters! They communicated well the entire time we were gone and sent us pics to keep us up to date on how our puppy was doing. Highly recommended.”
“Thanks for taking such good care of our Romeo! He loved your home so much that he didn't want to leave! Thanks for sending all the adorable photos and updates, too. I hated to be away from our little fur ball, but at least had the piece of mind that he was living the good life in your home. ❤️”
“Johanna was such a wonderful sitter for our dog Rylo. He can be a little nervous in new environments, but we felt like we were in expert hands with Johanna. She shared regular updates and photos and was so great to work with. Rylo already can’t wait to play with her again soon!”
“Lee Ann and her family did an amazing job caring for Murphy while we were out of town for a wedding. She was very communicative and kept us informed about how Murphy was doing. Her children and husband were very sweet and friendly, and Murphy seemed at ease. I would absolutely board him with them again and really appreciate the care she took with our dog, especially because he is still a puppy and still has some behaviors that can be difficult (marking in new environments!). Thanks Lee Ann!”
“Mike is an excellent choice to care for your dog. He’s friendly, knowledgeable, and makes sure pups get plenty of walks and attention. He’s also a great option if your dog enjoys companionship—he sometimes hosts a few dogs at a time, which creates a fun, social environment. Another big plus: he’s located near a wooded area that’s perfect for safe, enriching adventures and outdoor exploration. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog sitter. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up on a farm and I have been caring for pets and animals all my life. I had 6 dogs growing up on the farm and I had to care for most of them. I also have extensive knowledge on caring for puppies and elderly animals. As well as dogs in heat and pregnant. I work from home as I own another business that is completely hands off. So I love to be able to help people with their pets in the meantime. The pets will love the home we allow them to roam unless directed by owner to be in the cage. Also we have a backyard that is nice and fenced so they can poop and play.
“John and Viona took great care of Chase. Gave him his meds and let him take it easy with their senior dog. We got photos and videos of our dog during our trip. And communication was a breeze. Would gladly recommend them.”
“Andrea and Mike were wonderful sitter for Max. Max was really happy and looked really healthy. We were happy to find them and looked forward to see them again!”
“Isai was great to work with for my dog. Just a short stay this time but he was easy to coordinate drop off and having a friend pick Watson up at the end. I felt that Watson was in good hands.”
“Had a great experience with Dave! Very friendly and accommodating. Flexible on drop off/pickup times. Has crates so we didn’t have to bring ours. Dogs came home happy and tired, which is exactly what we were looking for.”
About: I have pet sat for my neighbors since I was 15 years old, professionally so for a collective 8 years. (from childhood to today totalling 21 years) I grew up with at least one dog in my parents household, loved both our family dogs through their senior years and beyond. I am pet cpr/ first aide certified, currently own a 9 year old Grey Domestic short hair cat, Thor, and my 28 year old horse, Riley. I am looking to head back to school for veterinary medicine with focus on large animal sports medicine/orthopedics. Eventually mixed practice too. In the horse world, I have 33 years under my belt, with my godmother introducing me at age 3. I am passionate about pet care, large and small. Most experience with cats, dogs, and horses and looking to expand. From the toy breeds of canine, to the extra large goofs, I enjoy caring for your loved ones as if they were my own. Shy guys? No problem! I take my time letting them get to know me without offense. Need a little extra help on training homework from your professional training team? Walk me through and I am more than happy to continue with their routine. I'm a softie for seniors. Looking forward to meeting you all and your pets! Available for walks, pop ins now! Currently in the process of signing up to renew my pet cpr and first aid certification. And I hope to start vet med prerequisites online at NoVA Community College. The later I am able to balance with all the attention on your pets. My neighborhood is nearby Scott's Run, Great Falls Park and Riverbend Park here in McLean and Geat Falls, Virginia. If ok with pet parents, I can take them for a walk (one at a time) during in home boarding. We don't have a fenced yard but our neighborhood offers plenty of walk routes. At client's home, I try to keep our walks with in the neighborhood and no socializing due to safety, even if your pup knows a neighbor's pup.
