Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.

Can’t overstate how great Christine was with Ellie. Ellie is often shy with new people, but Christine was patient and clearly made Ellie feel incredibly at home in a shockingly fast period of time. What’s more, when our flight back got cancelled, Christine didn’t even hesitate to accommodate our delay. And Christine was very diligent in giving us updates during the stay.

Laurie and Rich were so kind and caring for our little Frodo. From their photos, he was clearly comfortable in their home and yard. They kept us updated with his adjustment as it was his first time with them. When they expressed concern when he did not eat his dinner, we assured them that he does skip meals. We were lucky to find them available for our mini vacation. Thank you, Laurie and Richard

Laura was fantastic! Our German Shepherd received exceptional care from her. We appreciated the frequent updates that reassured us our pet was doing wonderfully. It's clear Laura genuinely cares. After 8 years of using Rover and trying many sitters, Laura stands out as the best. Thanks again, Laura, for taking great care of our girl!

Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.

Helena is so kind and responsive. She watched Charlie for 8 days and sent us pics/videos of Charlie’s daily walks and of Charlie having fun with her little dog.We also truly appreciated that she only took care of one dog at a time, so Charlie’s bed came back clean and didn’t have other pet hair. I would absolutely entrust Helena with Charlie again for a long term stay.

Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!

About: I provide dependable, attentive care and will treat your pet like they’re my own. As an active-duty Army professional, I’m responsible, punctual, and committed to following your pet’s routine exactly as instructed. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’m happy to adjust to their individual needs and energy level. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet has a fun, stress-free experience. As an active-duty U.S. Army Soldier, I take commitment and reliability seriously. My work schedule follows consistent weekly shifts averaging 6-8 hours, so I know my availability well in advance. I’ll be away during my scheduled work hours on weekdays, but I provide attentive care before and after work with walks, meals, playtime, and lots of love. Weekends allow for even more one-on-one time with your pet, and I’ll always communicate my schedule clearly to ensure we’re a great fit. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust with every pet I care for. I follow all owner instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, keep pets secure during walks and visits, and provide regular updates with photos so owners feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.

She even flexed with our schedule to make sure he was taken care of no matter when our travel plans shifted due to all the uncertainty in the area. 10/10 would book her again and again!

Imagine leaving your beloved cat with a sitter who transforms from a stranger to a trusted companion, all while you’re miles away. This isn’t just a wishful thought; it’s my reality with Stacy, the remarkable sitter for my cherished Einstein deCat. Stacy has ‘sat’ for Einstein a couple of times, and each experience has been warmly received by him. Before the pandemic, I traveled frequently, and Einstein was accustomed to my absence. What initially attracted me to Stacy was her commitment to spending a full 30 minutes each visit, not merely completing the basics. As I resumed extended travels, I knew Einstein needed someone to be that other ‘hooman’ in his space, and Stacy was the perfect fit. Her daily pictures and occasional videos weren’t just updates; they were windows into the growing bond between her and Einstein. I’ve seen him allow her to comb his fur, a privilege he doesn’t give to just anyone, and relax next to her on the couch, a testament to their mutual affection. This isn’t mere pet sitting; it’s creating a caring environment for Einstein in my absence. I am confident in Stacy’s ability to manage any cat crisis. Should the need arise, I trust her to communicate effectively with me and any vet care providers, ensuring continuity and care tailored to any new circumstances. In a world where genuine care and trust are rare gems, finding Stacy has been a blessing. She doesn’t just watch over Einstein; she provides peace of mind, a happy cat to return to, and the freedom for me to enjoy my travels. Stacy isn’t just a cat sitter; she’s a guardian angel for both me and Einstein deCat.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with Labs, German Shepherds, and cats taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. I have also volunteered with the Animal Welfare League of Arlington for two years, where I have gained additional experience caring for animals and learning about different behaviors and temperaments. In addition to general pet care, I have informal training experience with dogs, including helping reinforce basic commands, positive behaviors, and good routines. I enjoy working with young pets as they learn and helping senior pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My goal is always to provide the same level of attention, patience, and love that I would want for my own pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely four days a week with a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I am able to accommodate a pet’s normal routine, whether that includes letting dogs outside for breaks, taking them on a midday walk, providing playtime, or simply spending time with them while they relax. I enjoy creating a consistent and comfortable environment for pets while their owners are away. I care for pets by prioritizing their comfort, safety, and normal routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established schedule for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any other specific instructions. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in familiar environments, so I focus on providing consistent care, attention, and companionship while respecting the owner’s home. For each pet, I take time to understand their personality and needs, whether they are energetic and playful, shy and independent, or require extra patience and care. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away.

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years- I am great with all breeds and have a knack for training puppies (and older dogs too!) I am working from home and live right along a beautiful pet friendly park! I go on walks and runs throughout the day so love taking pups out with me! I ensure dogs are well taken care of and have experience administering different medications to dogs (including allergy injections) and following dietary restrictions or other needs. I show a lot of love and affection to pups and will keep them occupied and hopefully burn some of their energy playing and going on walks/runs!

She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly accommodating, and I always know Rosie will be well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.

About: I’ve had furry family members all my life. Finally got my own and live having a pup to train, pamper and love on. Let me share that experience with you and your pup as well☺️ I work from home, which makes pup care easier. My pup goes on a 30-60min walk or fetch in the fenced s hook fields near me around 7.30-8, eats around 10.30am with a quick walk outside soon after. She naps and is free to play. Last walk and dinner is around 6.30-7.30. Jade sleeps in her crate beside my bed. I’m able to give as much attention to her as needed because my schedule is flexible. I am very tidy and keep hazards away from the pups. I use dog-safe cleaning products. I also have a nest doorbell camera to monitor those coming and going. Plants are out of reach. I have access to fenced parks and fields less than 1min walk where I take Jade regularly. I like to play Chakra Healing Frequencies

About: I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet because they're family. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I'm attentive to each pet's unique personality and routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications if needed, and caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets who require a little extra patience and attention. What sets me apart is the level of care I provide. I don't just stop by to check a box, I spend quality time with your pet, making sure they feel happy, exercised, and cared for. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and treating every animal as if they were my own. I work remotely from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I have a lot of flexibility in my workday, I can easily accommodate walks, potty breaks, playtime, feedings, and lots of companionship instead of leaving pets alone for long stretches. I genuinely enjoy having animals around, they make my days better! Whether your pet loves to play, go on adventures, or simply curl up next to someone while they work, they'll have plenty of company and care. My schedule also allows me to be responsive to your pet's individual routine and provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident they're happy and well cared for while you're away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. In my home, pets have a calm, quiet environment with plenty of one-on-one attention since I don't have any pets of my own. I work remotely, so they're never left alone and can enjoy frequent potty breaks, playtime, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I also live just a five-minute walk from a beautiful trail, making it easy to provide regular walks, fresh air, and exercise tailored to your pet's energy level.

About: I’m a full-time business owner, which means I create my own schedule and can provide dependable, flexible care for your pet. Whether you need someone for a planned trip or a last-minute booking, I do my best to accommodate! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. My goal is simple: to care for them exactly the way I would want someone caring for my own dog. That means following your routine, respecting your training, keeping your home tidy, and making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. I’ve fostered multiple rescue puppies, many of whom struggled with fear, anxiety, and reactivity. Those experiences taught me how to read body language, remain calm under pressure, and build trust with dogs who need extra patience. I eventually adopted my own rescue, Rosie, after fostering her. She stays elsewhere whenever I’m boarding or providing pet care, allowing me to give my full attention to your pet!! I work from home as a business owner, managing my own hours. It’s easy for me to do a last-minute bookings or plan in advance. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, provide plenty of love and attention as if your pup is my own, and happily send regular photo updates so you always have a reminder of their sweet face! My goal is for you to return home to a happy, well-cared-for pet.

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs all my life! I am experienced with reactive dogs as well! I am about to get a puppy myself in my home! Please consider that if you intend on boarding with me. I work remote so I am able to drop by and let your pet out/ play/ walk your pet as needed! I understand feeling guilty about letting your pet be home alone all day and I’m here to help! I also am experienced with reactive dogs too! I will be getting a puppy July 2026 as well so please take that into consideration when booking boarding. I will always be cautious of entering your home and leaving your home to prevent any type of escapes and make sure that they are content before I leave and make sure nothing is in reach to maximum safety!

About: Hi! I’m a recent Physician Assistant graduate from EVMS with over 10 years of experience working as a veterinary assistant. Throughout my time in veterinary medicine, I cared for dogs and cats in clinical and boarding settings, including feeding, walking, administering medications (oral and injectable), and assisting with special needs and senior pets. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, including those that may be anxious or require extra care. My medical background also allows me to recognize early signs of illness or distress, providing added peace of mind while you’re away. I have experience with basic grooming such as bathing and nail trims, as well as safely handling pets when needed. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are. I provide reliable, attentive care and will keep you updated with messages and photos during each visit. I offer flexible scheduling, including evenings, weekends, and last-minute bookings I’m currently preparing to start my career as a PA, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care.

I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and helped with dog adoption events. I am a huge softy for cuddlers, but also understand that not all dogs like that (for example my Pomeranian, Ricky). While I do not have much experience with cats, I will play with them as much as they allow! I promise your pet could not be left in more caring hands!

Helena is so kind and responsive. She watched Charlie for 8 days and sent us pics/videos of Charlie’s daily walks and of Charlie having fun with her little dog.We also truly appreciated that she only took care of one dog at a time, so Charlie’s bed came back clean and didn’t have other pet hair. I would absolutely entrust Helena with Charlie again for a long term stay.

Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!

Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’m happy to adjust to their individual needs and energy level.

My work schedule follows consistent weekly shifts averaging 6-8 hours, so I know my availability well in advance. I’ll be away during my scheduled work hours on weekdays, but I provide attentive care before and after work with walks, meals, playtime, and lots of love. Weekends allow for even more one-on-one time with your pet, and I’ll always communicate my schedule clearly to ensure we’re a great fit. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust with every pet I care for. I follow all owner instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, keep pets secure during walks and visits, and provide regular updates with photos so owners feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.

Elizabeth was FANTASTIC! She was so thorough in understanding Hudson’s needs, sent tons of picture and video updates, and kept him entertained all weekend. She even flexed with our schedule to make sure he was taken care of no matter when our travel plans shifted due to all the uncertainty in the area. 10/10 would book her again and again!

Mckinley watched my kitten Cashew over the July 4 long weekend, and she was awesome! A week before Cashew’s boarding stay started, she proposed a phone call to learn all about his care and any concerns I had. She sent consistent updates with photos/videos of Cashew throughout his stay, and he clearly had a blast playing with her cat!

Oh goodness, April is such a sweetheart. She's a very thorough and caring sitter. Ensured I was well informed and my fur babies were well looked after. 10/10 care and accountability from her. Her logs are my favorite part!

About: I’m an animal lover that will take care of your pet like my own. Although I will care for your pet, I live with my partner, three year old son, my dog Ares, and two cats. We’re a family that loves all animal and are opening our home to extend that care. All pets I’ve cared for tend to leave my home with new skills or new training while they’re with me as that’s very important to me. I am a fully time stay at home parent and have a very flexible schedule to care for your pet. My open availability can accommodate last minute requests. I live in an apartment with an indoor dog park, outdoor dog park onsite, and a large apartment with plenty of space. My pets are very friendly and take into visitors very well. Our son is also very good with animal of all sizes and respectful of boundaries.

Ewelina was an excellent sitter for my dog Molly. She was very communicative with pictures, and handled her finicky food attitude! She gave her pills daily and I came home to a happy dog. Thank you, Ewelina!!! Next time I travel I’ll definitely look for Ewelina to care for Molly!

Great sitter for the dogs! They had a blast and she was very good at communicating how they were doing. Would definitely ask her to watch the dogs again next time we leave town!
