“Tamara was great! Our dog had a lot of fun. Pick up and drop off was wonderful. Our house is on the market so it's been a stressful few weeks for all of us, including our Shih Tzu. It was so great to see photos of him smiling and playing with her dogs. We will definitely use Tamara from now on!”
“Erin is an incredible dog sitter! She genuinely loves your pet and takes such good care of them. Her whole family are so loving and caring. She made us feel so assured that our pup was in good hands and provided updates throughout our trip. We would recommend Erin to anyone!!”
“Barbara was fantastic! We received daily updates with pictures. Would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a sitter. Will definitely use her again.”
“We are so grateful to Elisa, Jim, and their son for taking such wonderful care of our pup while we were away for over two weeks. Since he was only 4 months old, we were extremely anxious about leaving him at such a young age. However, Elisa’s daily photos, updates, and sweet messages quickly put our minds at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip. They showered our pup with love, treated him like family, and ensured he was happy and well cared for every day. They are kind, reliable, trustworthy, and excellent communicators. We highly recommend them to any pet parent!”
“Walter G. and his loving family ? were very Wonderful! Our Beagle dog “Wrangler” felt comfortable immediately at their home. Walter and his family was very understanding and caring towards him. Our dog can be very shy sometimes and yet he seemed to really warm up to the family very quickly. Inclusive, one of his little girl’s got so adorably attached, that it was so heart warming to see her shed a couple of tears ☺️ We truly highly recommend Walter G. and his family. He will most certainly be on our top list for boarding and care and we will most certainly be honored to have them take care of our boy again.”
“Anahita was so kind and sweet - was flexible and saved me in a pinch when I needed a place last minute for my sweet girl to stay. She gave me picture updates, always responding promptly and was very kind and polite! Book her she is amazing!”
“Vidhi did a wonderful job taking care of Buddy. Communication was smooth throughout his stay, and she sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind. I also loved that she also has a mini Goldendoodle, so Buddy had a buddy to keep him company! He looked very comfortable and happy in her home. I would definitely recommend Vidhi, and I have booked her again for next weekend.”
“Sarah was a fabulous host with a beautiful fenced in yard and home. She sent photos of Rocky and her kids which were so cute. Great communication throughout the stay and super convenient to wineries, tap rooms and Historic Rosemont Manor. Would highly recommend!”
“Leia loved being with Tara! We received pics and reports regularly on her stay which was very conforting since it was her first visit. There is a totally fenced back yard for security. I would recommend Tara to anyone considering daycare/boarding.”
“Tetiana did a lovely job looking after our dog, Charlie. Thank you for the photos and updates while we were gone! We'll definitely have Charlie stay with Tetiana again! Thank you!”
“Luke had a relaxing weekend with Ali and her family. He was so welcomed, I couldn’t have been happier. I’m glad he was able to roam freely throughout the house just like he does at home.”
“Our Newfoundland was expertly taken care of. She was happy when we came back, but I think a little sad to leave all her new friends. Would definitely recommend and use again, she is great with the large breeds and has a great understanding of their behavior.”
“It makes me nervous to be so far away from my fur family but Kelly took exceptional care of the boys and sent updates everyday. It was clear they were as comfortable with their visit as I was. Thank you Kelly!”
“We’re so grateful for the love and care our pups received. It meant everything knowing they were not just safe, but truly happy while we were away. The sweetest part was how much our doggies adored her kids you could tell they were having the best time together. We came home to a couple of relaxed, happy dogs, and that says it all. They will be going back forever now!”
“10/10: Cindy took great care of my dog and sent frequent updates. She was also so good to adjust when my flight got delayed and I couldn’t pick up my dog at the expected time. I would definitely book with her again in the future.”
“I cannot thank Michelle and her family enough for watching Bella multiple times! Michelle is great with sending pictures, and keeping me updated as to how she is doing, Of course Bella loves to cuddle with the entire family as well. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!”
“Chris is an amazing sitter and has a wonderful family. He took Jett on walking trails, fed him, and played with him. In addition, he sent pics throughout the stay. I could tell my doggy really enjoyed his time with Chris. I will be using him again in the future.”

“Ashley was great, caring, friendly, and provided the best updates. Spooky is chronically ill and I felt fully safe and trusted her in Ashley’s care. I can’t recommend enough!”
“Kim is an amazing caregiver for my dogs & cats - she is reliable, easy to communicate with, and cares for my pets as if they were her own. Kim is also very responsive and nice, and she follows instructions carefully. When I urgently needed help due to a change of family circumstances, Kim responded immediately to coordinate pet visits and made me feel a lot better about the whole situation also, since I could stop worrying about my animals. Thank you to Kim, highly recommended!”
“Erin did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Mia! Erin is very sweet and Mia liked her a lot (which says something!) Would definitely recommend Erin for anyone needing pet sitting.”
“Margaret is AMAZING! I was gone for 10 days and super anxious to be away from my 2 cats. She put me at ease and is so beyond wonderful. Highly highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up taking care of cats. The cat’s names that I grew up with are baby boy, Willow Jasper, and Bella sparkles. Is a gray tabby, Willow is a serval mix, and baby boy was a chunky black cat. I love them all and miss them dearly. I love getting to know each cat individually, getting to know their quirks and personalities is the most exciting part!
About: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds since I was 10 years old, including dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. I will provide the best care for your fur babies while keeping their same routine. Whether that means plenty of exercise or just cuddling on the couch, I will make sure your loved ones are taken care of. I am very responsive and communicative, and will always keep you updated throughout their day to give you peace of mind. Having two fur babies myself, I know how daunting it can be leaving them. My goal is to give your pet the same level of care and affection they are used to at home. I am a registered nurse and currently working part time, therefore I have free time during the work week. I am available throughout the week during regular work hours. I will care for your pet like one of my own, and make sure they are comfortable and at ease while you are away. I will make sure their routine and schedule will stay the same for continuity. I also prioritize giving frequent updates so you always have peace of mind.
“Chloe took wonderful care of our kitties and was a really great communicator! I knew our cats would be shy at first, but she gained their trust very quickly! The photos she sent were super cute and reassuring for us while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Madison is awesome. She took care of my two cats and always sent me pictures at every check in. She was also proactive about letting me know their auto feeder was running low and filled it. Big plus was that is was very close to home. I would book with her again.”
“Sarah and Rover was such a good choice for us. 3 catz, each with distinct needs requires a special touch, and Sarah has that, and more! We are 100% satisfied with this service and will use Sarah for our pets again. Kudos to Rover!”
“My 4 kitties and house were well taken care of. Plus Rebecca alerted us to an unexpected basement leak. With her prompt notice, action to clean-up the water and coordination with a neighbor, we were spared a mess. Septic tanks with optional filters and water filtration systems do cause problems when you least expect it! I can't say enough how thankful we are to Rebecca.”
“Zeel was great! She played with my cats, cleaned up their messes, communicated with me each day while we were away, and sent photos! I would absolutely book with her again in the future!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since my early teens. Majority have been my personal pets and have lived very spoiled lives full of lots of love and belly rubs. I’ll be taking online classes at a community college in the fall. Until then, my schedule will be mostly free with a few breaks for spending time with family and my own fur babies. I make it my job to ensure that all pets, whether they are my own or a strangers, have all of the necessities they need such as food, water, and comfort. They’ll be sure to receive lots of love and pets under my care.
“Anahita was so kind and sweet - was flexible and saved me in a pinch when I needed a place last minute for my sweet girl to stay. She gave me picture updates, always responding promptly and was very kind and polite! Book her she is amazing!”
“Really appreciated Mackenzie looking after my 2 cats while we were on vacation! She kept me updated on when she dropped in and when I got home everything was exactly as I wanted! Will definitely have her back :)”
“Just moved into new house in new state. Planned to visit my best buddy and his wife for Christmas. But had to find someone to watch over my kitty! Karen was my miracle solution! She was so nice, friendly, and obviously caring of my little man. (He took to her immediately.) Thank you so much Karen. I'm looking forward to my kitty being in trusty hands on my next excursion!”
About: I lived with cats for almost 2 years. They were my roomate’s cat, but I provided care while I was with them. I fed and played with them regularly. I also helped with brushing their teeth or fur. Even though they hate medicine, I also administered medicine. I’ve taken care of many cats outside of my roomate’s kitties as well.

“My dog is very shy and has separation anxiety but Sarah made her feel right at home. I could see from the pictures and videos just how great of a time she was having. I’ll definitely be brining her back!”

About: Hi! I’m a work-from-home mom of three amazing boys, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm, so being around animals wasn’t just a hobby — it was a way of life. I’ve owned pets my entire life and have also fostered many dogs over the years, so my boys have grown up learning how to properly handle, respect, and love animals. We recently lost our sweet dog last year and are taking a little break from owning one, but our home feels happiest with paws around. Dog sitting allows us to share that love while giving your pup the attention and care they deserve. Because I work from home full time, your dog will rarely be alone and will get plenty of supervision, affection, and companionship throughout the day. We have a large single-family home with lots of space to relax. There’s a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, as well as a spacious front yard — but please know your dog will never be outside unsupervised. In our home, dogs are family. They’re welcome on the couch and even in the bed for snuggles at night if that’s what they’re used to. My boys love giving extra attention, playtime, and belly rubs — always guided by what your dog is comfortable with. Our family truly adores and respects animals, and we will care for your dog as if they were our own — with patience, structure, affection, and lots of love. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home full time. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and regular potty breaks as often as needed. Your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches. We go on at least one walk every day, and I’m happy to adjust the length or pace depending on your dog’s age and energy level. In addition to walks, I incorporate outdoor time, playtime, and plenty of affection into the day. Because I’m already on a steady home schedule, it’s easy for me to maintain feeding times, medication schedules, and any specific routines your dog is used to. When pets stay in my home, they become part of our daily routine and are treated like family. Because I work from home full time, I’m able to provide constant supervision, regular potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Dogs have access to our large fenced backyard (always supervised) and enjoy at least one daily walk, along with playtime and snuggles. They’re welcome on the couch and even in bed if that’s what they’re used to. I stick closely to each dog’s normal feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is always the same: to provide safe, loving, reliable care so both you and your pet feel completely at ease.
About: I’m a full-time work-from-home professional. Unless I’m traveling for work, I’m home with the pups all day, giving them plenty of attention, love, and care. Please message me for availability—my schedule can often be adjusted to fit your needs. A Few Things to Know: - I focus on dogs 45 lbs and under to ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable. - Dogs will be staying in my home, not a separate kennel area. - I offer free pick up and drop off services so you have one less thing to worry about! Pick up and Drop off must be during daylight hours. Otherwise you will need to pick up or drop off your pup. - If you’d prefer your dog to be the only guest during their stay, just let me know—I’ll do my best to accommodate. - I’ve been petsitting longer than I’ve had my dogs so they’ve been raised with different dogs coming and going and love dogs of all sizes! - I do have chickens and ducks so if your dogs have any prey tendencies, please let me know so I can keep them separated. What Your Dog Can Expect: - Free access to a fully fenced yard for playtime. - Couch privileges and plenty of indoor snuggles. - A daily rhythm of breakfast, play, naps, dinner, and evening exercise. - Lots of dog beds to choose from so everyone always has a comfy space - Walks and leisurely outings if your pup enjoys them. Why Choose Me? I’ve had dogs all my life, and honestly—I prefer pets to people! My own pack is spoiled, and I’ll treat your dog like the king or queen they are. With me, your pup will get more than just care—they’ll get genuine love, attention, and a home-away-from-home. Send me a message today—I’d love to meet your furry best friend! I work from home full time so I can accommodate all schedules and needs! Usually the day starts with breakfast and a little playtime, followed by afternoon napping and then dinner. More playtime after dinner- to make sure everyone gets their exercise needs met. I love all my dogs and yours too! Dogs are given free access to fully fenced outdoor yard and free access to inside, including being on furniture.
“Barbara was polite, thoughtful, and kind. She texted to let us know how he was doing about halfway through the appointment, and she shared a cute picture. I would definitely book with her again and certainly recommend her!”
About: For years, I've walked the fields and trails along the Potomac River with a furry companion - most recently with Flannery, my family's Great Pyrenees who loved romping in Virginia Bluebell flowers and sinking her paws into mud. Animals have always been a part of my life. I've mucked stalls, herded ewes and lambs, evaded headbutting rams, cuddled pigs, milked goats, trimmed hooves, and named a farm dynasty of cats and kittens names like "Nefertiti" and "Isosceles" (after Egyptian royalty and geometry terms). Animals and their personalities are a source of endless interest for me. “If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans.” ~James Herriot I have a flexible work schedule at home and welcome an excuse to enjoy fresh air and exercise together with your pet. I'm available for daycare and dog-walking every day except for Sunday mornings. Your dog can stay indoor in my apartment or outdoor in the fenced-in yard, as needed. I live in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for walking. If additional space is needed for running and walking in the open countryside, I am also happy to take your dog on a "field trip" to my family's little farm.
About: Dog care certified in Argentina, as an animal lover I want to pursue career caring for them. Since young, I used to spend a lot of time in dog walks and parks with them. I believe now, I can provide them the perfect environment of a fenced backyard of 10.000 sqf. I love to exercise and pamper pups and we're easy to reach, even for a last-minute need. With some dog training experience and a lot of love for dogs, I look forward to taking care of your family member like one of our own. Depending on your pup's needs, I will take long playtime or jogs with your dog. If your furry family member just needs companionship and loving attention, I am happy to provide that kind of care, too. Photos of your dog will be shared with you throughout their visit. I love to send lots of pictures of my guests. My house is generally a cage-free environment, but will use your crates if that is what your pup is used to at home. I have a couple of gates to use as necessary to separate dogs during meals and to give them a large, safe play area in our home.
About: Hi all! I am interested in doing some petsitting to find some dog friends for my pup. I am not a full-time dog sitter, however, I'd like to find some more dogs that my dog will play with & hopefully build some puppy friendships. I live in Leesburg and WFH. I work from home & my dog is cage free all day. We usually do a longer walk in the mornings (between 6-7am) and play outside when it's cooler, then a short walk around lunch time, and another walk around sunset. Bedtime is around 9:30 in our house. Ideally I'd like to find other low-medium energy dogs that play well with my dog and can be trusted to free roam/play around my townhouse while I work. We go out for lunch time play around the neighborhood so good leash manners is a must.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid and currently have a 6 year old adorable dog. I can take care of yours as our own. I am currently working remotely and can take breaks in between. I have a family of dog lovers and they can assist as needed as well I have a lot of open areas around my house where your dog can enjoy walks and playtime. I have cared for dogs many years and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
About: My kids (13-19) and I can offer a safe, happy home, companionship and plenty of play time to your furry friend(s) while you're away! Being semi-retired allows me to dedicate more time to caring for pets. I frequently assist friends and family with pet care when they travel. My life basically revolves around my 3 teenagers, volunteering and bike riding when possible. Your pet will always have company in our home, with plenty of walks and playtime. My children, especially my daughters, love and enjoy their companionship.

About: I have a wide variety of sitting experience as I have cared for dogs, snakes, chickens, goats and even emus! There is no challenge too big and as long as you’re willing to show me how to care for your pet, I’ll be quick to learn! I generally have a very open schedule. I like to keep busy by spending my time in valuable ways and am always down for an afternoon of play! I am a detail oriented individual and, unless otherwise requested, I keep a detailed log of what I do when so that families know as much as possible about how their pets have spent their time. This also gives assurance that in the case of emergency, you’ll be able to see if anything happened that may have caused an adverse reaction in your pet. More of a precaution than anything as you can never be to careful when it comes to your precious animals!

About: Hi, I'm restarting my animal care business. I want to ensure a stimulated experience with a swift pace and consistent disciplined walking style of what I like to refer to as "nose to toes," where the dogs stay no further than my toe, to my sides, or behind me. I also have experience with aggressive dog behavior, so if a single walk is necessary, I can do that. I have been in the animal care business for as long as I can remember, and I know Fairlington very well since I grew up here. I now live in Harper's Ferry in West Virginia. I will be able to track my walks with a phone app that will track your dog's walking pace, distance traveled, and the route we take. I usually do pack walks of 3-5 dogs depending on size, but I can do singles if needed. I'm also able to cat-sit/dog-sit and care for exotics and birds (no insects). I'm flexible because I have my own cleaning/organizing/declutter business. I wake up however early dog might need be let out or pet given meds, and give at least 3 long 30min-hour walks depending on the energy level and few let outs throught the day if needed for young pups or older if bladder is sensitive. Plenty of loves and can work on training or stimulated play time with toys and puzzles. I will be professional and not have any guests over ever, and always keep doors locked when not there and if plants need care I can help with watering. I have 4 animals myself so it's pretty automatic to just add another pet cuz I've cared for multiple animals at a time or drop in visits when needed throughout my day. Whatever the fmaily requests for schedule when to feed, medicate(if needed), amount of walks and play time needed to make sure they're healthy and stimulated. Whenever they're ready for bed, crate if needed requested by parents, and make sure they go outside(dogs) to ensure no accidents throughout the night. I give them just as much love and attention and play as my own. And feed round same schedule unless instructed otherwise. Giving exercise and play time when needed. And kept to routine of crating if owners instruct.
About: Have only had 9 months total of my life without a dog or a pack of them by my side. Your fur baby will be fostered as one of my own; their walk, run, or potty break is all about them! With guidance from you, we will move at their pace. If they want to go for a run... then we run! If they prefer to walk tree to tree and smell every flower, that's fine too! I am available early mornings and mid-days during the week. I also have availability nightly to check on the pups and make sure they're ready for bed. I look forward to meeting the needs of your family, if it be walking or running the dogs, or making sure they are comfortable in your home, just let me know. I am fortunate enough to have a remote role, so my schedule is usually set to my own dog's needs. I am by no means a gym rat or a marathon runner. Yet that doesn't stop me from getting in usually 2-6 miles a day, both walking and running. While my dog is crate trained, it would be great if yours is as well, for those few errands that may take me away for up to 4 hours at a time (a busy week would be 3 half days in the office)

“Barbara was fantastic! We received daily updates with pictures. Would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a sitter. Will definitely use her again.”
“We are so grateful to Elisa, Jim, and their son for taking such wonderful care of our pup while we were away for over two weeks. Since he was only 4 months old, we were extremely anxious about leaving him at such a young age. However, Elisa’s daily photos, updates, and sweet messages quickly put our minds at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip. They showered our pup with love, treated him like family, and ensured he was happy and well cared for every day. They are kind, reliable, trustworthy, and excellent communicators. We highly recommend them to any pet parent!”
“Anahita was so kind and sweet - was flexible and saved me in a pinch when I needed a place last minute for my sweet girl to stay. She gave me picture updates, always responding promptly and was very kind and polite! Book her she is amazing!”
“Sarah was a fabulous host with a beautiful fenced in yard and home. She sent photos of Rocky and her kids which were so cute. Great communication throughout the stay and super convenient to wineries, tap rooms and Historic Rosemont Manor. Would highly recommend!”
“Leia loved being with Tara! We received pics and reports regularly on her stay which was very conforting since it was her first visit. There is a totally fenced back yard for security. I would recommend Tara to anyone considering daycare/boarding.”
“Our Newfoundland was expertly taken care of. She was happy when we came back, but I think a little sad to leave all her new friends. Would definitely recommend and use again, she is great with the large breeds and has a great understanding of their behavior.”
“It makes me nervous to be so far away from my fur family but Kelly took exceptional care of the boys and sent updates everyday. It was clear they were as comfortable with their visit as I was. Thank you Kelly!”
“We’re so grateful for the love and care our pups received. It meant everything knowing they were not just safe, but truly happy while we were away. The sweetest part was how much our doggies adored her kids you could tell they were having the best time together. We came home to a couple of relaxed, happy dogs, and that says it all. They will be going back forever now!”
“10/10: Cindy took great care of my dog and sent frequent updates. She was also so good to adjust when my flight got delayed and I couldn’t pick up my dog at the expected time. I would definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Lily had the best time during her stay with Marsha and Geary! They welcomed her like family, were attentive to her needs, and provided lots of love and play. We were grateful for daily updates with photos. It was evident at pick up how comfortable she was in their home. We will definitely book again in future!”
“William was wonderful to our boy, Mickey! He was so flexible and understanding to coordinate a meet and greet then overnight stay. Lots of updates were sent showing Mickey having a great time with Maui! Thank you for being so welcoming and accommodating!”
“Jax was so well cared for in Joanne’s care. She is delightful and took Jax pretty much on a last minute notice. She always has a smile on her face and was a joy to work with. Jax was well adjusted being back home.”
“If I could give Deb more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Leaving Baxter for 25 days was something we were genuinely nervous about, but Deb made the entire experience completely stress-free. From day one, it was obvious that Baxter wasn’t just being boarded—he became part of her family. Every single day, we looked forward to the adorable updates, photos, and videos that showed just how much fun he was having. Deb even treated him to his favorite daily pup cups, which quickly became one of the highlights of his vacation! The Memorial Day photo shoot was beyond adorable and is something we’ll treasure for years. It perfectly captured Baxter’s happy personality and the extra effort Deb puts into making every dog feel special. What impressed us most was the genuine love and attention she gave Baxter. She continued to learn his personality, spoiled him with affection, made sure he stayed active, and gave him the comfort and companionship he needed while we were away. Every update reassured us that he was safe, happy, and incredibly well cared for. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, healthy, and honestly looked like he had just returned from his own vacation. That’s the greatest compliment we can give. Thank you, Deb, for the priceless love, the endless cuddles, the daily pup cups, the amazing photo memories, and for treating Baxter like one of your own. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again. Baxter can’t wait for his next stay!”
“Laura was so great with Teddy! He loved playing with Gin!!! You can tell she really cares, and we felt totally comfortable leaving him with her. Selfishly, I almost don’t want to tell people how awesome she is 😉 We’d definitely book with her again if she’ll have him!”
