“Constance is a really special person. Great communicator, kind and open. She was open to do a meet and greet before Teddys actual staycation and allowed us to see her home and meet her pets to make sure everyone gets along. Once we dropped Teddy off she sent pictures every day! Communicated very clearly and kept me informed of Teddys well being. She was accommodating when we had little curve balls thrown at us and we have absolutely no complaints at all. Your fur babies will be in good hands with Constance! We will be booking again for our next vacation.”
“I could not have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, Shanae was professional, dependable, and incredibly caring with my dog. It was clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like family. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. Shanae went above and beyond to make sure all routines, feeding schedules, walks, and playtime were handled perfectly.

I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter. I will absolutely be using her again in the future! Thanks again Shanae!”

About: I currently have no dogs. I had a golden mix for over 7 years until she passed. I purchased a PBGB as a puppy and had him for close to 3 years. I rehomed him because I couldn't give him the attention he deserved. I absolutely love dogs and I miss the companionship of dogs. I do have a grand dog who I babysit for occasionally. He is a Pomapoo and he loves to run around my yard and we cuddle and watch TV. People were surprised that I rehome my dog Jeebs because I loved him so much. I work remotely.90% of the time so if there is a need for care during the week. I am definitely available on the weekends and I will have a week off during the holidays . I have a fenced in back yard. My home is small but they will be comfortable.I live near the water so they will get plenty of exercise .I will make it a point to take them out for fresh air. I will make sure I have a kennel available if necessary and I will follow any nutrition concerns your dog may have.
About: If you are a regular, please contact me directly as I am booked daily frequently but I will make wiggle room for my familiar friends. I am now accepting bookings for s autumn & holidays 2026. My adult daughter is my regular backup if needed and she usually covers cats visits because they loooove her. *** BONDED/INSURED and I guarantee my behavior in your home!!! Please check with any of my other clients. I love being video taped!!! Your home is just as safe as your pets! I’ve been the go-to girl for pet care in my extended family, friends, neighbors and even within my church for decades. I’ve helped puppies being born and taken care of seniors who needed medication. I work from home and set hours as you need me. I'm available on short notice if I know you. Otherwise, I prefer a meet and greet with new customers. Details are important for all of us. For Drop-In Visits, what is comfortable for your animal is what I do. We can do playtime or just feed/water/love. Puppies can use me for mountain climbing and senior dogs find me a restful friend. I work with cats as well as dogs and am not afraid of keeping a litterbox clean. Also, if you have any tentative travel plans for 2026 -27, please let me know as soon as possible. I hate turning people down but I already have week long overnight bookings scheduled every month thru Dec. I would be glad to block out dates while you firm up your plans, if needed. My work zone is limited - I try to only take jobs within a ***3 MILE radius of CEDAR LANE*** - so I can focus on each pet instead of driving all over the place. If you ask any of my regulars, you will find I can (and have been) called in on an emergency with no hesitation. I only take 1 drop-in on days I have my regular or 3 drop ins on my ‘free’ days. Sittings are a case by case basis but if your pet will work with me, I would love to work with them. I will book as far as 12 MONTHS in advance if you need me. I work my schedule around your pets. Any questions, I will be glad to answer. For clarification - Drop-ins are scheduled between 9 am and 8pm. My phone only works during these hours unless I am sitting your pet. House/Pet sittings can be during the day or an overnight stay. Usually, Day shift is 9am to 5 pm but I am willing to work with you as your schedule requires. Walks and sittings are different things. But I will gladly work with you if you give me advance notice. Overnight stays are usually 8-10pm as needed to 8am. Please ask if you need a different schedule during reservation. If I know in advance, I’m glad to change it up for you & your pet(s). Hope this helps, I’ve gotten a lot of questions lately. 😉 I am so sorry my rates have gone up but gas and insurance is killing me as an independent contractor. I am willing to give discounts on multi day visits or long stays if you work with me. Thank you! 😊 This is my job and I love it. Meeting and spending time with new animals is a joy. I'm building my business through word of mouth so you have all my attention. Let me be of help. I answer text/calls between 9am and 11pm unless I am driving, working with someone, or out of town. My catch up day is Monday so if I do not have furry friends to visit and if I'm slow to answer, it’s because I'm covered in my dogs and cannot move. (They are little but insistent.) or running my many errands. I WILL respond to every request even if you are not in my zone. But I cannot respond while working or at church. You and your furry family are important to me, please let me prove it. I'm always willing to do drop ins and dog sitting. I love doing house sitting stays as it lets your pet be comfortable in his/her own space and keep to their schedule. I will follow your rules meticulously! Please feel free to contact anyone I have worked with, I'm very proud of the reviews I've been given. I will work with you and your pet to get the same happy review. I limit my work area so I spend more time with your pet and not traveling. Overnight covers a 10-12 hour period such as 8 pm to 8am.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and caring for animals comes naturally to me. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve helped raise puppies, supported senior dogs, and provided daily care for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s feeding, walking, training, or just giving them the love they need, I treat every animal like they’re my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to look after their pets, and it brings me so much joy to keep them happy, safe, and healthy!

About: I've owned and cared for many kinds of animals: cats, dogs, birds, other caged, and aquatic (freshwater & salt) pets. With vet tech experience, I have a trained eye for catching and often solving problems. As a horticulturist, I can even care for your plant collection. I simply adore most living things! Being semi-retired and self-employed gives me freedom to create my own schedule. I'm able to fit most timeframes except prior to 9 am as I have my own menagerie to care for first thing! Having had VIP clients in DC for so long, safety and security are ingrained in me. It's critical for your animals, your home, and my own well-being. I follow your instructions or my own protocols as needed, since every pet and home is unique. In my own home, your pet would have their own separate room/space and/or be closely monitored when in the rest of the house. If I accept a mini dog for boarding, they will be on a leash at all times when outside for potty breaks or a walk.
About: I am a vet assistant currently going to school for vet tech. I have puppy/kitten and senior pet knowledge. I love pets of all sizes and have a willingness to work with all temperaments.

I will always give pet parents constant updates along with going over any house rules expected of me. I ensure safety of all pets inside the home.
“Jenna was great with my dog, Ellie. I’m new to the area and finding reliable care for my dog is very important to me. I’m glad to find Jenna and I look forward to having her walk Ellie on a regular basis.”
About: Skills include: medication application, IV fluids, walking, playing, vet appointments, pregnancy assistance in birth, feeding, cleaning, bathing and most importantly cuddles! (Cuddles with consent of course) I have a remote job that doesn’t take up a lot of time so I am usually available and I have a love and passion for caring for animals and pets! I love animals and I had a cat named Precious for 18 years. I got a job at a vet hospital not only because I loved pets but because it was best for Precious. I was able to give her the best quality of life through my job and she sadly passed away in 2025. She was my special girl and I am ready to start caring for animals again. They matter a lot to me and I can’t bring myself to get another cat so I figured all the love and care I have in my heart, I should use it for good and help others in taking care of their precious babies. I’ve learned a lot while working at a vet hospital as well.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels from a young age and I am currently training a puppy. I am a stay at home dog mom!

“We had a wonderful experience meeting Dawn. She was warm, professional, and very thoughtful in how she approached getting to know our dog, Mr. Thor. She took the time to assess whether it would be the right fit and was honest and communicative throughout the process, which we truly appreciated. It’s clear that she cares deeply about making sure each dog and family is matched appropriately. That level of integrity and professionalism says a lot. We’re grateful for her time and would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”

About: My name is Tas. I have worked at a day practice for about 10 years as a kennel assistant/a vet assistant (giving meds, baths, insulin). I have background in emergency vet clinics as well as day practice. I have a total of 5 pets. 4 dogs ( 2 pits, chihuahua and 1 GSP mix) and a cat. I have background in just about every pet from reptiles to exotics (sugar gliders included). If you have questions about which animals I can watch or would be comfortable watching let me know. When no one is home I do keep my animals crated because I've seen WAY too much in emergency and day practice for me to be comfortable letting your pet be out by themselves with no supervision. I do not require a meet and greet unless your animal has issues with strangers or I'm house sitting. I HAVE A PRIVACY FENCED IN BACKYARD :) all animals must be on a RELIABLE flea prevention and I need that proof before they come in my house.
“Feeling overwhelmed and being unable to take our lab for walks in the midst of everything was heart wrenching. Chris was a life saver and stepped in within hours of our request. He was also extremely punctual and clearly knew what he’s doing. Our lab came back from his walks looking super satisfied, energy released and calm all through the day. Highly recommend Chris!”
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am very active, so your baby will definitely be able to get a good walk in with me and enjoy the fresh air. There is a park nearby that I like to go to for the doggies to run around and play. This is my full-time job, so I have more than enough time to make sure that your pup receives enough attention and love. I also have toys as well, so your baby will never be bored I live in a luxury gated small community that is super walkable and pet friendly and I can easily crate your dog if you needed. I have a feeling that your baby is going to love my dog park.
“Joselyn was amazing with my dog. She was patient, thorough, caring, and loving. She took the time to come meet with him prior to having to care for him. Yogi loved her immediately. I would trust Joselyn with my boy again, any day! Thank you for taking care of my boy.”
About: I have always had pets around, Honestly I love them all and can’t see my life without them. They take care of us in the best possible ways and I love the experiences I get with each one. It means a lot to be able to be able to wake up and do something that I love and to help others in the process. I will genuinely take care of every need down to the final detail when it comes to caring for your dogs whether they have allergies or special medications anything at all to make not just them happy but you guys happy as well. I know I am happiest knowing that my dogs in good hands when I leave for a vacation and I will always be more than happy to send photos. I am currently a stay at home mom to a wonderful kiddo who loves any and all animals just as much as I do. We typically are available all week but may be unavailable once a month due to appointments. I prefer going by a set schedule provided by the pet parents this can be in regards to walking, eating habits, or medications if needed.
About: I've been working with and studying animal behavior since I was 10 years old, and my passion for dogs has only grown stronger over the years. With over a decade of hands-on experience in training and caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and how to effectively communicate with them. I currently work full-time for a mobile dog grooming company, where I handle dogs daily with patience, confidence, and care. Whether you're looking for someone to walk your dog, provide basic training, or help with behavior issues, you can trust that your furry friend is in experienced and loving hands. I also offer a very flexible schedule and can accommodate most needs with plenty of notice. Whether you're looking for dependable dog walking, basic obedience training, or help with behavior issues, I’m here to give your pup the attention and care they deserve. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. When in my care, you can rest easy knowing they’re in a secure, loving environment. I have a fully fenced-in backyard where they can play safely, and the property is equipped with cameras for added peace of mind. I’m committed to following any specific dietary needs or routines your dog may have, and I make sure they get their daily walks for both exercise and mental stimulation. If your pup needs regular brushing or combing, I’m happy to handle that too—keeping them clean, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way.

“I could not have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, Shanae was professional, dependable, and incredibly caring with my dog. It was clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like family. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. Shanae went above and beyond to make sure all routines, feeding schedules, walks, and playtime were handled perfectly. When I returned home, it was obvious that my dog had been loved and cared for exceptionally well. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter. I will absolutely be using her again in the future! Thanks again Shanae!”

“Amy was amazing! We were a little nervous about leaving our dog with someone we didn't know. Amy immediately put us at ease and made us feel like our pup was the most important dog on the planet. She is extremely professional and answered all my texts quickly. She provided photos and updated us with how things were going daily. After meeting her we knew she would care for our dog like she was one of her own. She was extremely flexible at changing the dates of stay when I'd accidentally clicked the wrong days. Even though they were very last minute. Her compassion for animals is truly genuine as evidenced by the model she's set for her children. They, too, took to our dog and treated her like a real princess. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our pupper.”
