“Colleen did an excellent job dropping in on our dog while we were away for the weekend. The text updates on how our dog was doing and what she did during the visits was much appreciated! Colleen is a true dog lover!”

About: I have plenty of experience working with senior dogs and reactive dogs, and I’m comfortable with drop-ins for feedings & playtime. There’s no greater joy in life than being able to connect with someone’s furry, absolutely adorable soulmate! As a cat owner and long time dog walker, I always make sure to prioritize your pet’s health and comfort with lots of patience, love, and pets / treats ♥️ On weekdays, I do work typical business hours, (9-5ish), but I am available in the early mornings before work as well as in the evenings. On the weekends, I am more available. If someone was in my home, I would want to make sure they prioritize my pet’s safety and my home’s integrity. When I am looking after your pet, I’m also making sure I am respecting your space while making sure your pet feels comfortable with me in theirs.

“Abigail was great with our dogs and quickly responded to our questions.”

About: Insured and Bonded - Pets First Aid/CPR certified from Red Cross ** Boarding clients pls read** "- Due to some changes, I can no longer board at my Leesburg apartment, however I was able to find a place in South Riding, where I can continue boarding in... for added convenience, I can offer a drop off/pickup service for additional $10 - I board up to 2 dogs at a time, but if you'd like your dog to be the only dog boarded, there'll b additiona $20 per night " Animals have been part of my heart for as long as I can remember. Even while building my professional career, I always stayed connected to animals through volunteering with rescue organizations and shelters. Caring for them never felt like a task — it felt natural. Over the years, I’ve cared for friends’ pets and supported rescue animals of all personalities — shy, energetic, playful — and each one has deepened my commitment to creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. My home is cozy, peaceful, and structured to make pets feel secure and relaxed, I allow pets on bed and furniture, but definitely follow the pet parent instructions, if not allowed! I also volunteer at farms, so I have good experience in taking care of farm animals like goats, chickens and horses I have a flexible schedule and am committed to working around your needs to make sure your pets receive the same warmth and attention they’re used to at home. I'm currently doing pet care as full time job, so I'm available all week/anytime and I genuinely love going on walks, so your dog will get good exercise with me I'm available almost all the time, your pets will have my 100% focus on them, I also don't have any other pets or kids, so your pet will feel like the king/queen of the house :)

“We had a wonderful experience with Lily as our dog sitter! She was punctual, attentive, and took excellent care of our dog. She was also very respectful of our home, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciated her reliability and care and will definitely be booking with Lily again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve lived with pets all my life and currently have one indoor cat (spayed, friendly) and one dog (spayed, spends most time outside). I’ve done dog sitting for up to two weeks in the past and cat sitting for up to one month both in my home and at pet owners’ homes. Though I prefer felines as they’re easier to manage, small/medium dogs are certainly welcome — as long as they’re not too vocal. I am a long distance runner and hiker, so no walking distance is too far for me! My arm strength does have a limit, so any dogs over 30 pounds who pull/aren’t fully leash trained are a no-go. Additionally, I’ve done pet sitting for guinea pigs and rabbits for 1-3 day periods! I work part time and do most work from home, so I’m continuously available all week. My home is right next to the W&OD trail, so walks are convenient all times of day and the trail is never crowded. I’m always happy to drive pets to the trail as well. My cat remains entirely indoors, but the dog has endless pits of energy and so spends lots of time outside. We have two fenced areas, one specifically for the dog and another for the pool, along with ~1 acre of unfenced yard.

“Sofia rearranged her schedule to take my last minute request for a dog sitter to stay with my dogs in my hotel room while we ate dinner. Since one of my dogs is special need, I need someone like her who I could trust to know how to handle those needs. There was great communication and I felt totally confident leaving my dogs with her.”

“Nila was great. Took care of the dogs and gave them extra love and attention. My dogs will miss her care and miss her. She was also great at communication and helping change a little when my plane got delayed.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs and hamsters. I grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes, spanning from a bully mix, to an Alaskan malamute, to black labs, and Chihuahuas too! Getting to know each animal individually, and getting to know their quirks and personalities is the best part! I currently work eight hours a day seven days a week. I can be there to pet sit in the evenings or let dogs out on potty breaks in the early morning or sometime past 5:30 PM. I can spend up to three hours with your pup for drop ins, and of course I would give all of my attention for the 8+ hours I would be there to pet sit. I follow any and all instructions given to me by pet owners. I’ve spent a long time getting to know, body language, and social cues from dogs. I will never push their boundaries.

About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life, and I honestly cannot imagine a home without paws in it. Whether you have a high-energy pup who needs to burn off some steam or a cozy kitty who prefers cuddles and quiet companionship, I’ve got you covered! Currently, my husband and I share our home with two incredibly energetic and lovable Golden Retrievers, Brady and Gimli. My husband jokes that he’s third in line for my affection. Honestly, some days he might be right! Our home is a place of constant joy, play, and comfort, and we would absolutely love to welcome your furry family member into our circle.

About: I have spent majority of my life caring for a wide range of animals from dogs and cats to ducks, rodents, and reptiles. I have one beagle who loves playing with others and we would love some company for our walks and adventures. I am acclimated to cats and dogs of all ages, I am used to giving medications (including allergy injections) and pets with food sensitivities. If you have a fur baby that needs some exercise or company, my beagle and I would love to meet them for either a casual stroll through a neighborhood, a trail walk through the woods, or even for short visits to dog parks followed by soapy baths. Let me know what your pet needs are and I am happy to accommodate. On weekdays, I am available 3-7:30 most afternoons. If I am going to your home and your home happens to be near my work place, I may also occasionally be able to pop in for a short visit 9:45-10:30. At my home: Your dog has options. I have a puppy proofed kitchen that has access to a dog door with a fenced in yard. This space is separated from the rest of my home via a doggy gate and is a wonderful space where I leave my pup to play during the day while I am at work. This space has continual access to water, dog beds, toys, and the fenced in yard. Additionally, if there is a fur friend that is in need of a more private secluded space, I also have 2 medium dog crates with soft blankets and chewies. The crates will limit your pups interactions and protect them while I am away from the household for work. When I am home, the dogs will be with me throughout my entire house, they will be brought on walks, fun outdoor adventures, played with, fed, pet, they can sleep in the bed or on the floors, and they can be bathed if necessary. We can even take car rides to go out on fun hikes if you are interested in your dog having access to opportunities like that (they are our favorite.) They will continually have a beagle playmate happy to have companionship. Cats will have a secluded room to stay in, as they are often more sensitive to new spaces, and they will get plenty of snuggles and affection each day in their own private room. At your home: I will arrive in the afternoons with my beagle to play with your pups and to go on walking adventures. I can follow whatever particular protocols you have in place for your dogs, their food/med routines, etc. We will play together and spend time outside on adventures. I can take your pup with me in my car to go on hikes or we can keep the visit completely local. For cats, my dog will not come with me and I will enter the home to address whatever needs your cat may have, whether it be cleaning litter boxes or giving cans of wet food.

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.
