Dog Sitting Virginia Gardens

About: I have taken care of animals of various kinds (dogs, cats, and rabbits) since a young age. I am a go to dog and cat sitter for family and friends. I currently work from home so I am able to accompany your pets throughout the day. I am familiar with many pet friendly walking trails in my area. I am a dog mom to a 10 year old Jack Russell and am familiar with senior dog care and high energy pups. Daily walks are a must!

“Giselle is responsible, caring and dependable. She quickly responded to the booking request. She went at the agreed time and followed all directions. She communicated with me and we were able to enjoy our vacation without any worries. I highly recommend her .”

About: I’ve been caring for pets my entire life and understand that every animal deserves patience, love, and individualized attention. I currently care for four of my own pets: Oliver, my 2-year-old orange cat; Rein, my 11-year-old Black Labrador mix; Nala, my 4-year-old Goldendoodle; and Tobias, my 7-month-old Shepherd-Bulldog mix. Caring for pets at every stage of life has given me hands-on experience with energetic puppies, active adult dogs, and senior dogs who require extra patience and gentle care. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, as well as cats, which hold a special place in my heart. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply needs a calm and reliable companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same love, care, and attention that I give my own. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while giving owners complete peace of mind. Pet care fits well into my current schedule because I’m in the process of becoming a law enforcement officer and am looking for flexible work while I complete interviews, written exams, physical testing, and other hiring requirements. This allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available on weekdays, evenings, and weekends with advance notice, and I make it a priority to communicate clearly about my availability. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll provide dependable, attentive service and treat them like one of my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I take the time to learn their routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions so they experience as little disruption as possible. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, and affection while maintaining a clean and safe environment. I always keep dogs securely leashed during walks unless they’re in a safely enclosed area, and I make sure pets are never left unattended in unsafe situations. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were a member of my own family.

“Mike was an amazing caregiver for my 2 senior pups! I would absolutely recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past 3 years, including my own dog as well as dogs for friends and family. Through that experience, I’ve learned how to care for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, crate routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is the amount of attention and patience I give every dog I care for. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I always try to make them feel loved, relaxed, and part of the family. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer environment, I’m happy to adjust to their routine and personality. I'm currently working full-time Monday-Friday, so I'm available to care for your fur baby starting at 5pm! I’m also available on weekends and can provide lots of attention, playtime, walks, and care during my free time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their parents are away. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and needs to help them feel right at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so their pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walk routines, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific instructions provided by the owner.

About: Hi! My name is Iman, and I'm a college freshman with over 4 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every pet has different needs, whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, or simply providing companionship and comfort while you're away. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, reliability, and communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they're away from their furry family members. I have experience with energetic puppies and kittens, as well as senior pets who may need extra patience and care. Whether your pet loves adventures at the park or relaxing at home with cuddles and company, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy during every visit. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I have full time availability to be with your fur baby when needed! I am very flexible! If i did have work or something important it will be known to the owner before hand! Here and there i can work from home to manage both! I have a gated fence, sometimes I play with toys outside with the pets to keep them happy outside! I give all my attention to the fur babies they are boss! I offer walks, baths, transportation, etc!

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and cats of every personality. As the proud pet parent of four rescue cats (including my 13-year-old senior), I'm experienced with feeding routines, administering medication, senior and special-needs care, and recognizing changes in behavior. I'm also an active cat rescue volunteer involved in TNR, fostering, and caring for community cat colonies. I treat every pet like family and strive to provide loving, reliable care while keeping owners updated every step of the way. I currently work part-time remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. Whether it's drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure your pets stick to their normal routine. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable in their own environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special routines to minimize stress while you're away. I'll treat both your home and your pets with the same care and respect as I do my own, while keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit.

“Autumn was super helpful for both of our pups with letting them out and giving them some company. Hazel and Willow seemed to enjoy her visits and we highly recommend Autumn’s services.”

“Daniela is excellent with my cat Jett. She’s on time, makes sure he eats all his food and goes to the bathroom after. She always sends pictures of what he’s doing and loves to play with him! She’s a great sitter and makes sure Jett is safe.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience with both training and senior care. I trained my own dog, who is now 12 years old, and I currently care for him as he experiences arthritis. This has taught me how to recognize signs of discomfort, adjust activity levels, and provide daily massages to keep him comfortable. I understand that not every dog needs long walks, and I prioritize each pet’s individual needs, safety, and well-being. I’m currently a senior in college, which gives me a bit more flexibility in my schedule, and I truly enjoy spending that time caring for pets. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m able to plan my days around pets and give them the attention and consistency they need. I live in an off-campus house with a front yard that does not open onto a busy street, which helps provide a safe and calm environment for pets. The house is spacious, allowing pets to move around comfortably and have their own space to relax. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I’m very attentive and focused on making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. I take time to build trust, follow routines closely, and make sure pets feel safe and happy in my presence.

About: I have experience with both dogs and cats, from helping in a vet clinic and working at a dog daycare to caring for my own pets over the years. I’m very patient with animals, attentive to their behavior, and I always try to follow each pet’s routine closely because I know that’s what helps them feel calm, safe, and happy while you’re away. I work remotely during the week (8am–5pm), so I’m available for reliable early morning and evening visits on weekdays. On weekends, I’m more flexible and available throughout the day. I’m a great fit for pets who are comfortable being alone during typical work hours and do best with a consistent routine. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I follow instructions closely and prioritize clear communication so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. 🪴💚

“We heavily rely on Sam’s support afforded to Athena, which has ranged from walks to/from dog care and house siting in our place. Sam is a pleasant detail oriented, exceptional communicator that our dog enjoys hanging out.”

About: I’ve had experience with both cats and dogs, but I'm not opposed on getting to know and care for your other type of (furry or not) family member/pet. I’m very pet-friendly and love to play. If special care is needed for an animal, I have also had experience with pets who need special medications or to be fed a specific way. I clean up any messes left behind by pets inside or outside of the house. I also have experience with taking care of animals who are older in age. I work delicately with all animals to ensure that they feel safe and/or comfortable until their owner returns home. For having kittens of my own, they had my heart first, but I do also have great experience and love for dogs. I’m currently a college student who works part-time so I would be more than happy to take care of your furry friends Monday-Fridays 8 AM to 8 PM! I treat pets with the utmost respect and care. I firmly believe that pets are family and deserve to be treated as such. You can expect me to treat your pet just like I’d treat a family member!

About: I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs my whole life and currently have two dogs and two cats of my own. I truly love animals and treat every pet like family—with patience, affection, and attention to their unique needs. I’m comfortable with all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors, and I’m happy to stick to your pet’s routine to keep them feeling safe and loved. As a fellow Rover user, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. That’s why I always go the extra mile to communicate clearly, send regular updates, and create a calm, loving environment while you’re away. I'm a teacher currently on summer break, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule—perfect for giving your pet the attention they deserve! Right now, my days revolve around caring for my own two dogs and two cats, so adding another furry friend to the mix is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, or just some quality cuddle time, I have plenty of time to focus on your pet’s needs without feeling rushed. Even during the school year, I make pet care a priority with early mornings, afternoons, and weekends always dedicated to my animals. No matter the season, caring for pets is a core part of my daily life. When caring for pets in their own home, I always prioritize following your instructions and routines exactly as you’ve laid them out. I know how important consistency is for animals, especially when their favorite people aren’t around. From feeding and walking schedules to playtime, medication, or bedtime routines, I make sure your pet feels as safe, loved, and comfortable as possible. My goal is to keep things feeling familiar and calm, so your pet can relax and stay happy until you’re back home. You can count on me to treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I give my own.

“We were very happy with the care Jhanayra provided! She was very reliable, arriving on time every single day. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our cats were on their regular feeding schedule. Jhanayra sent updates, and it was clear our cats were loved. We will be reaching out next time we are away.”

About: Certified veterinary assistant with ~200 clinical hours, currently studying to become a veterinarian. I specialize in boarding exotic pets and have hands-on experience with lizards, snakes, and fish, along with volunteer work in animal care. I currently own two lizards and am very comfortable handling exotics. Tanks/cages must be provided. Since I am home from college on break, I do not have classes or other commitments during the day. This allows me to provide full attention and care to pets throughout their stay. I am available for feeding, playtime, enrichment, and administering any medications as needed. Pets in my care will have a consistent routine and supervision whenever they are awake and active. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s home can feel stressful. For full safety, exotic pets in my care will stay in a separate room in my home that my dogs cannot enter, so they are secure and stress-free, Pets are monitored closely :)
