House Sitting Vanville

“Heather is the absolute best! She took wonderful care of our baby, and we can’t thank her enough. Great communication, and she took the time to send us daily pics to let us know how our pup was doing while we were gone.”

Jennifer M.

“Aly was kind and communicative. Our dogs seemed to love her, and she sent regular updates throughout the booking. I would definitely recommend!”

Molly R.

“Michelle was so good about keeping me updated about our pets and how everything was going. Very quick to answer my calls and texts. I think the pets really enjoyed her because they followed Michelle to the door when she was leaving. My mind was at complete ease and I would rebook with Michelle.”

About: I have been an owner of many animals! I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and farm animals. I am an animal lover and enjoy spending time with them. I was hosted in a wildlife refugee home when I was young, so I have a lot of experiences with animals with special needs. I have retired early and looking to help out with animal care. I have an open and flexible schedule and can work with pet owners about their needs and schedules. I can accommodate and adapt to your family’s routine and will build on the household’s established needs to create a structured, consistent environment for your pet.

“Lindsey was wonderful!! Our Moonshine is almost 16 & doesn’t warm up well to others. He loved her. Lindsey sent me pictures every day & answered all my messages. We will definitely have her here again.”

“Adriene sent me pictures and videos throughout the stay. Communication was frequent and clear and my Sophie was doing great when I went back home. She took good care of the house as well. Overall great experience!”

About: I've been a passionate animal lover since I was born. I started out with my own neighborhood business, in which I offered dog walking, pet sitting, and house sitting services to a consistent client list of 11 homes over the course of 6 years. Then I branched out a little more professionally and spent 2 years at a boarding school in Missouri in which I studied puppy socialization and training, adult canine socialization, obedience, and behavior modification. I also received additional training for Therapy/Assistance Dogs, Vet Technician, and canine anatomy, philosophy, and psychology, specializing in no resistance training. After 2 years, I received my certificate as a CALO-Certified Dog Handler and American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Certified. I am well versed in dogs and cats of all temperaments, and provide the best care I can for each dog and cat that are placed into my care. I am currently working part time, so my pet care availability depends on my weekly schedule. If contacted far enough ahead, I can rearrange my schedule to better accommodate needs. I am fully available on Sundays for any services. I am a very active person, so walks are always my go to. I would love to play ball or frisbee in the backyard, or even take your dog to the dog park! Unfortunately, I am unable to bring dogs back to my home, but will use any resources given to me by you or the public!

“Its hard leaving you fur babies with someone new. This was my first Rover experience and I couldn't be happier. The communication during my absence was great and my twp dogs exceptionally well cared for. 10/10 will use again!”

“Courtney was communicative, prompt and took great care of my energetic dog and my home. I hope to book her again soon.”

About: I have over six years of experience in animal care and am eager to continue my career. My goal is to work at a veterinary clinic or hospital, or establish my own mobile grooming business after completing grooming school. In my previous role at Sobo Dog Daycare, I gained experience maintaining a safe environment for dogs and recognizing canine body language and behaviors. I'm currently working from home part time as well as doing this part time. My hours are flexible and I'm usually always able to adjust my schedule to accommodate to my rover clients schedule! I can provide care to both, long stays at clients residence or I can provide boarding services in my home!! Whatever is the best for the client and also for the pet parent as well! If im boarding I suggest bringing anything that is favorable, toy or bed, blanket ect its easier for them to get adjusted to the new environment if they have something familiar from home with them.

About: I have over 20 years of experience and caring for pets. We have also had the opportunity to breed German shepherds for many years. I have experience with senior animals, as well as with animals that require medication. Please feel free to reach out at any time. My schedule is fairly open! I am available during the week as well as on weekends. Please reach out with any additional scheduling questions you may have. I am dedicated to providing quality care for your animals and a safe environment. I understand the importance of providing quality care for your animals while you are away as your animals are an extension of your family.

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: Having grown up with pets my entire life (from pigs and peacocks to dogs and guinea pigs), I understand the importance of providing great care to all furry friends. I have two dogs of my own, a 4 year old lab and 7 year old Cavapoo. I am happy to provide play time, snuggle time, walks, and medication (if necessary) for puppies to senior dogs. I know leaving your fur baby in the care of someone else can be stressful, so I try to alleviate that stress by being responsive, providing updates, and loving on your pet while you are away. **please note, I do not provide care for aggressive dogs. Thank you for understanding!!! I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I work part time from home, and am able to provide walks, play time, and couch time if you have a snuggler. I have a fenced in yard with two friendly dogs. For them, we enjoy nightly walks, afternoon fetch, and morning treats. If you board in our home, your pet must be dog and kid friendly. At your home, I can provide play time, walks, and tons of love and affection.

“Lauren was great with our pups! We have three big dogs and she sent updates on each one when she let them and fed them! It made it easier on me being gone knowing they were well taken care of. We came home to three happy dogs!! Will definitely be using Lauren again in the future.”

Samantha L.

“Day was very attentive and thorough. She was able to fit me in last minute, and my dogs loved her. She updated me everyday. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”

About: I have been animal sitting for almost 9 years now, starting when I was in high school. I have experience in animal care for multiple species, energy levels, behaviors, ages, and health needs. No task is too big for me, my biggest job was being a sitter for a family of 10 dogs, and a pig! I worked at a nonprofit animal rescue where I learned more about how to care for cats and dogs, and how to gauge their personalities, and energy levels. I am passionate about animal happiness and satisfaction. Right now, I am completely free. I have a car and a valid drivers license. I just moved back home after hiking for 4 months on the Appalachian trail, while walking I had lots of time to think about my passions, and of those are animal welfare, care, and personally staying active and fit! I have two personal dogs, one of which is a senior in hospice care, out of respect for him, I am not taking animals into my home right now. However, any type of drop-ins or house-sitting is on the table. I take direction seriously and can provide medical care, activity, play, feeding, or anything else that is needed for your beloved animal!
