“We love Maddy!! She was way beyond our exceptions and our cats loved her. She is now our go to for home pet care. Thank you Maddy for putting our minds at ease and letting us enjoy our vacation fully.”
“I needed drop-ins on my dog while I was away for the weekend, and Leigh did an awesome job! She was very communicative while setting up the initial meet-and-greet and for all the drop-ins she did. Leigh also was very understanding when I needed to adjust my timing last minute! Would definitely use her again and recommend her to others!”
About: I’ve had 15 years of experience in taking care of other people’s pets as well as having my own, I had a small business with my sister but we eventually stopped for her to pursue babysitting instead. I have worked with a variety of animals and have some basic knowledge from my previous job at petsmart, I know this site is for cats and dogs but I am also willing to do other animals as well. I do have some training in dog grooming from my job, but I am only comfortable with bathing and drying off. My best time for scheduling would be from 9 AM to 3 PM, anything else I really cannot fit into my schedule due to personal commitments. I suppose my best way to answer this is to love them. I love animals, and I know animals are not all the same. They need specific care and specific needs met, and every one of those looks different for each animal. One of the best things I can do as a pet sitter is to provide the care needed, and to show the attention needed as well. Instructions and expectations are set for a reason, and I am willing to follow any one of those to ensure your animals are taken care of to the best of my ability.
About: I have 9+ years of experience working as a dog walker and carer. I also volunteered at a dog rescue for an additional 2 years. I've worked with dogs of all sizes and with all sorts of personalities and physical limitations. Each dog requires their own individual attention based on their upbringing, age, and physical capabilities. I am patient and affectionate with dogs and love taking them outdoors to stretch their legs and explore the world. I hope you will consider me as your dog's next new friend. I live in a house with a small fenced yard, but take my dogs (and will take your fur baby) on several walks every day. I feed my dogs on their schedule and can easily follow your dog's schedule, being mindful of his/her specific needs. When boarding your dog at my home, your pup will be treated as lovingly as mine. I cuddle, play, and exercise with the dogs. I make sure your dog is happy while you're away, and I send a lot of pictures and videos. I know I would love the same if my dog were in your hands. I generally do Rover walks Mondays-Wednesdays in Alexandria. I host dogs for daycare or boarding at my house in Manassas on Wednesday nights through Sunday nights. Your fur baby is in great hands at my home. I give lots of pets and cuddles, as well as taking your pup out to stretch his/her legs. I have a two dogs who enjoy playing tug and chase with new furry friends. There's also a shy cat who lives in the house, so your dog has to be good with cats.
“Fern is awesome. I work shift work so I can be gone 24-48 hours at a time. She has been there last minute for my two German shepherds. Communicates clearly and my dogs love spending time with her. She’s awesome!”

“We had a fantastic experience with Hannah! She was incredibly responsive and always quick to reply to any questions or updates. When we decided to extend our trip by an extra night, she was more than willing to go above and beyond to accommodate the change, which gave us great peace of mind. Super punctual and reliable, we knew our dog was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Literally what would we do without Katey. She is so reliable, communicative, and fantastic with our dog Ginger. We’ve had some hiccups with Ginger suddenly developing separation anxiety and when Katey came by to a wrecked crate (and we couldn’t make it home to deal with it) she handled it like a pro and took fantastic care of our dog. I feel better having Katey watch Ginger than I do some of my friends/family!”
“Kristin did an excellent job watching my two dogs and my sons Golden Retriever. She provided pictures, videos and messages of how they were doing while I was away. I was happy to know my pups were in good hands while I was away. I highly recommend Kristin to watch your pets.”

I have been taking her services several times and definitely can vouch for her! 🌷🌷”

Betty G.
“Betty is one of the most caring and considerate individuals I know. She has a huge heart, and is always there when you need her (whether you're furry or otherwise)! Growing up she had a plethora of pets, including several cats and dogs. I would trust her completely with my own dog, as I know she would give 110% of herself to make sure he was comfortable and happy. She'd make a wonderful animal sitter!”
Deanna W.Star Sitter
“Deanna has had her dog for a while now, and I know of how she has cared for others. Even when she took in one dog that had pretty extreme behavioral issues she still put all of her energy to ensure that it received as much care as possible. I cannot imagine anyone more well-equipped or more patient to handle dogs and the particular requirements each dog may bring. She is extremely caring, but also understands that some dogs require training and boundaries to ensure that they are properly exercised and stimulated mentally.”
