“Thank you Karen for taking such amazing care of Bandit over the holidays! Knowing my pup was in such loving and capable hands gave me peace of mind while I was away. The updates, attention to detail, and genuine care you provided were above and beyond. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Jill and Sean were great with our dog Harley. Harley loved her time there and it was great having Sean and Jill keep us updated on how Harley was doing during her stay. They both sent pictures daily which was always welcome as our kids loved seeing some of the things Harley was up to while she was away from us. We definitley will be looking forward to Harley staying with Jill snd Sean for future trips.”
“Leslie is simply the best. She provides top quality care for our sweet pup. She stays in communication with us and sends updates during our dog’s stay as needed. Her knowledge of small dogs and their unique needs is an added bonus. We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter.”
“My dog Finn stayed with Catherine for the weekend and she was absolutely the best! She was super communicative and made sure everything went smoothly. He has the best time! Would definitely recommend.”
“Thank you Andrew so much for looking out for Slim. Andrew and his family were caring and loving while taking care of my little guy. I will definitely trust him with your pet any day! Thank you again!”
“Our dog Bonnie is sensitive and she usually gets nervous when she goes to new places. However, when we met Jennifer for the first time, she immediately started to explore Jennifer's living room, and she seemed very relaxed. When we went to pick her up, she didn't want to leave for a while. That says she had a great time in Jennifer's place. Thank you very much, Jennifer and her family!”
“It’s telling when your dog is just as excited to see the sitter as they are to see you return. Kendall took great care of our reactive pit bull mix, who’s also terrified of thunderstorms and fireworks. Unfortunately, Bear’s stay was during fireworks and storm season, but Kendall managed her anxiety well and kept us regularly updated. We’d be happy to have her watch Bear for future trips too.”
“I can’t recommend Heather enough! From the very beginning, they were reliable, professional, and truly caring with my dog. They took the time to understand my pup’s routine, quirks, and favorite activities, and I could tell right away that my dog was in the best hands. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for every single day. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy who genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond. I will definitely be booking with Heather again and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a dependable and loving dog sitter.”
About: I've had a dog in my home my entire life, and am always the one my friends/family turn to if they need someone to look after their pets. I have also fostered multiple dogs with leash reactivity, and have had some 1-1 work with an R+ (positive reinforcement) trainer to ensure pups can have the best experience out and about in the world while still getting their sniffs and exercise in. I occasionally run outside so I can offer to run with your pup(s) 1-2 times a week if you'd like, and I live 5 minutes away from Baron Cameron park if you like for them to play with other pups during the day at a dog park as well. Or of course we can just snuggle most of the day while I work from home. Well either way there will be lots of snuggles and pets... My last dog passed away in 2025 after a year long battle with cancer, so I have no problem giving medicine and making sure we stay on a strict schedule with food/medicine if that is what your dog needs. I look forward to becoming your pup's new best friend! I work part-time from home. I'm available for day-sitting while you're at work or overnight boarding when you're out of town. I'm typically up by 7:30, have a fenced in backyard, go on walks/runs throughout the day and love going to the dog park if your pup enjoys it! I have a 6 foot fence in my backyard that your pup can play around in. Take 2-3 x 25 minute walks around the neighborhood throughout the day and can occasionally go for 30-60 minute jogs if your pup enjoys more exercise (1-2/week)
“Omar and his family took such great care of my Bella while I was away. From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in a warm, welcoming environment. She had a blast playing with the other dogs and soaking up all the attention they gave her. What really stood out was the communication. Omar kept me updated with messages, and pictures which made it so much easier being away from her. I could see she was happy, relaxed, and truly being cared for like one of their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Bella came home happy, and that says everything.”
“Joanna was so loving with my dog and greeted her with so much affection. I felt completely at ease while I was out for the day, knowing that she was being cared for by Joanna. I would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Kirin was wonderful with my dog, Kya. He watched her twice for several days each while I was visiting family. He was easy to communicate with and was really attentive to Kya’s high energy nature and puppy tendencies (I’m sure his two goldens helped with that too 🤣). I was able to relax and enjoy my travels, knowing she was in good hands.”
“Sophia made me and my dog feel super comfortable watching him for the first time. We had a meet and greet, so I could meet her before watching my dog for the first time. Sophia is extremely responsive, truly cares about dogs and kept us updated throughout the week with pictures of my dog while he is was there for the week. I think my dog missed playing with the other dogs when it was time to come home. I highly recommend Sophia and will use her again to watch our dog.”
“Everything about boarding our fur baby with Shiva was 5 star perfection. From our meet and greet to drop off and pick up we knew we were in excellent hands. Our dog was relaxed and happy with Shiva and her other pups. It’s obvious that Shiva knows and loves dogs! Shiva’s house and yard are great for any dog to exercise and explore. Our dog was instantly at ease at her home and it’ was a pleasure to go away knowing our dog was in Shiva’s care. She provides excellent updates and photos at the end of every day so you can go to bed knowing your dog is happy and safe. Shiva was an excellent communicator. We will definitely book with her again.”
About: I offer a calm, attentive, and personalized care experience for both cats and dogs in the Tysons, McLean, and Great Falls area. With over 6 years of combined experience, I take time to understand each pet’s rhythm — from gentle brushing and quiet companionship to playful moments and frequent photo updates. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I work from home, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pets and give them lots of love and attention. On weekends, I love being outdoors—if your dog enjoys adventures, I’d be happy to bring them along for some fun and fresh air! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, keep the environment safe and clean, and treat your space with care. I provide regular photo updates so you always feel connected. I occasionally offer boarding at my home for small dogs and cats who can peacefully coexist with my friendly resident cat. I do slow, careful introductions to ensure a stress-free stay. Please note that I do not board large dogs.

“Jennifer was a wonderful pet sitter for Zuzu. She came on time, spent a lot of time playing with her and fed her special food as requested. Highly recommend Jennifer and will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages and personalities since I was young, helping neighbors, friends, and family with feeding, litter care, playtime, and companionship. I’m attentive to each cat’s unique needs—whether that’s giving space to shy cats or engaging playful ones. I respect your home, follow instructions carefully, and provide updates so you feel at ease while you’re away.
“Asher provided consistent updates and reached out with questions to ensure my cat was well taken care of. It was very comforting while I was traveling internationally for 10 days. I would absolutely love to book again with Asher in the future.”
“Christine did a great job taking care of my cat! She provided updates and pictures even though my cat stayed hidden (he's a bit of a shy guy). Would definitely use her to keep an eye on things again!”
“Erin consistently goes above and beyond! She’s flexible, considerate, caring, and just the best cat sitter you can think of. I’m pretty sure our cats think of Erin as their second mom& best friend now. Thank you, Erin!”
“Skylar was the perfect person to do drop-in visits for our two cats. Skylar was very professional and respectful when doing the initial visits and had a general curiosity about the cats. I highly recommend him; we appreciate the help, Skylar!”
“Michiru was great and Cali took to her well! She was very thorough with Cali’s dietary needs and I was thankful that I was able to find her when I needed a cat sitter last minute. If you are looking for a cat sitter, don’t hesitate to book with her because you will not be disappointed!”
About: I’ve been Mom to Thumbelina since I was in 5th grade and more recently, my adorable Bean! Throughout the years I have also had the honor of fostering/caring for over 10 different cats, all with unique personalities and different needs. This is the experience that I believe makes me qualified to take of your cat, caring for them as if they are my own when you need a sitter!
“Leah, thanks so much for taking good care of my cat, Bagheera! I appreciate the photos and updates. Thanks also for doing your best to clean when she vomited- I know that was an extra hassle.”
“Nicole is an absolutely wonderful cat sitter; I trust her implicitly with my boys because she is so invested in their care and happiness. Wouldn’t choose anyone else to take care of them!”
“Kelly came to the rescue to checkin on our 2 pups with short notice, and they just love her! She's very communicative and so thoughtful to make sure each dog gets lots of attention.”
“Shauna was great with our 2 cats. She was willing to show up twice a day to give Max his medication which is hard to find. They were well taken care of and healthy and happy when we got back.”
“Brianna was very attentive to the needs of my pet, and I am quite pleased that I have chosen her. I will be definitely using her service in the future, and highly recommend her.”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and dog-sat and cared for many different dogs over the years. I will treat your pup like family. They will feel secure and safe and get a lot of attention and affection. I work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule between 8-5. In addition to a great walk, your fur-baby gets cuddles, play time, and loads of love. Your dog will never be left unattended or alone in a yard. In my house, your dog can sleep in the bed if they like (and you OK it). My own dog is a 9 year old trained therapy dog. She is calm, sweet, and gets along with all dogs both big and small, chill or playful. She'll be happy to share her home. I use positive reinforcement only.
About: I’ve always had dogs, birds, and lizards surrounding me ever since I was young! I love animals more than anything, and dogs are my absolute favorite, although I am a lover of all furry friends. As a 30 year old and throughout my 20s I have had a mastiff mix, and now still with my husky/German Shepard mix, Cocoa. She is 9 years old and has been with me every year of her life! I love to take care of her, and will do the same for your pets! I have pet sat for many of my friend’s cats and adore their funny personalities as well! I am currently a student, and my classes are in the evening for a short time, so I have some free time to be able to pet sit and walk your pets! My classes end in the evenings early on so if someone needs their pet checked on and walked/ water and fed I am able to come later on in the evening! I have an apartment with lots of walking space, but can drive to anyone to dog sit or walk, and keep your pet comfy and happy with lots of walks, play time, and making sure whatever their routine is, kept accordingly! I also am familiar with crate trained doggies, which I have had my dog do in the past when she was younger. I am here for whatever your animal friend needs!

Our puppy had a great time and glued with her little one. Renee sent pictures and gave updates how she was doing throughout. Will definitely recommend and send our puppy again to Renee for daycare.”
“Our Australian Shepard had a wonderful time with Yulia and Tomas for doggie day care! We could not have been more happy with their kindness, communication, care, and activity level for our dog.

They knew exactly how to make our dog feel at home and comfortable all day, and in transitioning our dog back to us at the end of the visit. We are so grateful to them for their excellent care!”

“Francisco is an outstanding dog walker! He consistently goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is well cared for. After every walk, he communicates with me and provides thoughtful updates about how everything went, including anything he noticed that I should be aware of. What really stood out to me was his attention to detail and genuine care. During our last walk, it started raining, and he reached out to ask where he could find a towel so he could dry our dog off before leaving. That level of thoughtfulness meant a lot to me and showed how much he truly cares about the pets he looks after. I highly recommend Francisco to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker. Your pet will be in great hands!”

“Jennifer has been walking our dog Leo on a regular Tuesday/Thursday schedule (mornings and afternoons), and she’s been fantastic. She’s extremely dependable and always communicates well in advance if there’s ever a schedule change. I feel completely comfortable having her care for Leo. What really stands out is how attentive she is — when Leo got sick, Jennifer noticed right away and alerted me immediately so I could get him to the vet. That kind of attentiveness and care goes well beyond just walking the dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable dog walker!”

However, when we met Jennifer for the first time, she immediately started to explore Jennifer's living room, and she seemed very relaxed.

“It’s telling when your dog is just as excited to see the sitter as they are to see you return. Kendall took great care of our reactive pit bull mix, who’s also terrified of thunderstorms and fireworks. Unfortunately, Bear’s stay was during fireworks and storm season, but Kendall managed her anxiety well and kept us regularly updated. We’d be happy to have her watch Bear for future trips too.”
About: I've had a dog in my home my entire life, and am always the one my friends/family turn to if they need someone to look after their pets. I have also fostered multiple dogs with leash reactivity, and have had some 1-1 work with an R+ (positive reinforcement) trainer to ensure pups can have the best experience out and about in the world while still getting their sniffs and exercise in. I occasionally run outside so I can offer to run with your pup(s) 1-2 times a week if you'd like, and I live 5 minutes away from Baron Cameron park if you like for them to play with other pups during the day at a dog park as well. Or of course we can just snuggle most of the day while I work from home. Well either way there will be lots of snuggles and pets... My last dog passed away in 2025 after a year long battle with cancer, so I have no problem giving medicine and making sure we stay on a strict schedule with food/medicine if that is what your dog needs. I look forward to becoming your pup's new best friend! I work part-time from home. I'm available for day-sitting while you're at work or overnight boarding when you're out of town. I'm typically up by 7:30, have a fenced in backyard, go on walks/runs throughout the day and love going to the dog park if your pup enjoys it! I have a 6 foot fence in my backyard that your pup can play around in. Take 2-3 x 25 minute walks around the neighborhood throughout the day and can occasionally go for 30-60 minute jogs if your pup enjoys more exercise (1-2/week)
“Kirin was wonderful with my dog, Kya. He watched her twice for several days each while I was visiting family. He was easy to communicate with and was really attentive to Kya’s high energy nature and puppy tendencies (I’m sure his two goldens helped with that too 🤣). I was able to relax and enjoy my travels, knowing she was in good hands.”
About: I am on a short career break while waiting for a clearance to come through to start my new job. Looking to fill my days with some furry friends while I wait! I have always been a dog lover and have lots of experience with doodles specifically but love all dogs. I have one pup (Lulu, 2 yr old 35lb mini Bernedoodle) that loves everyone and everything. Currently between jobs and at home most of the day! I am up and at it early during the week either on runs or at the gym. I have a small fenced in yard and live a few steps from 3 of the Reston trail entrances! I am very active and love to go on walks with my dog.
About: “I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a little extra care. I’ve personally raised three dogs from puppyhood through adulthood, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love pets need at every stage. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding routines, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive—I know how important it is to feel confident your pet is in good hands.” “I work a 9–5 during the week, but I’m available for evening visits, as well as overnight care. Weekends are wide open for more flexible scheduling, whether your pet needs extra attention, longer walks, or extended stays.” “I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walk routines to any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so they feel secure while you’re away. Safety is always a priority. I’m mindful about leashes, doors, and surroundings during walks, and I keep a clean, calm environment in the home. I’m also experienced with administering medications if needed. I know how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where they’ll get lots of attention and care. I make sure they feel relaxed and at home, with plenty of time for play, rest, and affection.”
“I'm so glad I found Amethyst ☺️ she was wonderful with my dog Q. She sent me regular photos of Q (I don't know how she made my dog sit still and be such a good model for photos haha but she managed well!) and updates and always made sure his needs were met. And she was also very flexible and accommodating about last minute changes I had to do cause another sitter canceled. But it's all good, since I was able to book with Amethyst ☺️ My Q had a really great time with her! Thank you! 10/10 recommended her 👌”
“Jason and Becky took care of our pet Cocoa for 9 days. They were reliable, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for pets. . From the initial meeting, they took time to understand our pet’s routine, dietary needs, and personality, which gave us great confidence while we were away. They provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured us that Cocoa was happy and well cared for. Our pet seemed comfortable and relaxed when we returned, which speaks volumes about the level of care and attention provided. We have decided to leave Cocoa with them when we travel next time. Thank you Jason and Becky.”
“This is our second time booking with Carl, and he did an amazing job caring for our cat, Kirby! Carl is extremely attentive and communicative and we highly recommend his services!”
“Kaylyn and Naman are great pet sitters! I highly recommend them. They took great care of our dog Alli, she was very happy and relaxed with them! They were attentive to her every need and always made sure she had walks and outside time. Alli had an eye problem and they took really excellent care of her. I would definitely trust your pets with them, they’re great!”
“Thank you for taking care of Flash. Was definitely a new experience for him as a switch from a previous caretaker - this experience was awesome for Flash - an experience to interact with Arjun, play Fetch and in the process to even get trained and get Flash used to the atmosphere so quickly 🙏 This was a great exposure and I am confident enough to keep my Flash in a responsble family 🙏”
“Carla took care of Millie when we went on vacation. She and her family were so kind and Millie most definitely had a great time (maybe even better than us). During our trip, she sent constant pictures of Millie that made us so happy! Millie will definitely be returning!”
“My 10 year old beagle had a great time. Our other dog just passed, so this was Pepper’s first time without her lifelong friend. The sitters were very responsive and flexible. I love that they were a family unit. Sent pictures on request. Walked her as needed. And helped her burn energy! Would use them again.”
“This was Penzey's 2nd time staying with Yulia & Tomas; they take wonderful care of her. I get daily updates with pictures. They take Penzey on nice long walks and she gets to play with their dog, Chuck. Penzey is happy with Yulia & Tomas and I feel very good about having Penzey stay with them. Highly recommended. I will definitely book with them again in the future.”
“Candice did a wonderful job caring for our dog! She was communicative throughout the booking, pre-arrival, during care, and through pick up. She genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. We will definitely use her again!”
“Highly recommend Xinyi! She took incredible care of our dog, Louis. We could tell how comfortable he was with her once we got him home; he was happy and completely free of anxiety. Xinyi sent daily updates and photos, which totally put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation guilt-free. We will absolutely be booking with her again next time we go away!”
