Pet Boarding in Alexandria

“Ashley and family were awesome with our dog Ollie! He came back home happy and healthy. We especially appreciated all the photos and updates while we were away. It really made us feel better about leaving him knowing that he was in good hands and getting lots of attention. We hope to book with Ashley again the next time we go out of town!”

“We are repeat customers with Kathy and cannot say enough good things about her. She is always quick to respond, their home is so nice, always clean , and she has a massive yard with an incredible fence. You can tell she truly cares for the dogs she is watching and I wouldn’t trust my dog with anyone else.”

“Karen took great care of my 75 lb dog! He has a lot of energy and clearly had a great time at Karen’s since he slept all day when he got back. I would definitely recommend Karen for watching your fur baby.”

“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! Scotty took excellent care of our 2 dogs, and provided multiple photos, along with status updates each day on how they doing. You can tell that he genuinely cares about your dogs when he is watching them, and wants you as the owner to feel completely comfortable being away from them. I highly recommend him and can't wait to book with him again this summer!”

“Taylor was great! She was kind and gentle with Elfie. During Elfie's stay, she sent photos and text messages reassuring us that she was okay. We will be using Rover and Taylor for future needs. Scott B.”

“Our two dogs had a great stay over the long weekend! We got a lot of pictures and videos of playtime and walks so we always knew our pups were having a fun vacation too. Stacy was very punctual in person and responsive over the app.”

“Nicole was amazing!! If you’re contemplating between her or another sitter, choose her! I boarded my anxious 8 year old beagle mix named Maple for a week and it was the best boarding experience I’ve had. In the past when I’ve boarded Maple she would not eat for the entirety of her stay. I’ve used places like Pet Palace and another Rover sitter in Columbus to board Maple and they always had a very difficult time getting her to eat or do anything outside of hide in the bed I’d brought from home. Nicole changed all of that. Nicole went out of her way to cook Maple chicken to mix in with her food and hand feed Maple as needed. Maple ate every day that she was there and had normal bowel movements. Nicole also went above and beyond, bringing Maple on adventures to every green space in OTR! Nicole sent me updates every day of Maple’s adventures to Ziegler Park, dog parks, Kroger, and even the Black Music Hall of Fame! I should also mention my dog is objectively very strange. She humps the air when she’s excited, nips at you when you stop petting her, and lifts her leg not to pee, but to show she wants pets. Maple’s never been comfortable enough while boarded to show off her array of quirks until Nicole. I was so happy to hear my strange little critter of a dog showed her excited and loving personality to Nicole. When I came to pick up Maple, I saw the nest of blankets Maple had created on Nicole’s couch herself and knew I chose the right person. I will only be going to Nicole for pet sitting in the future! To summarize: pick Nicole if you want your pup to get a lot of love, attention, and exercise. She puts on Dog TV when she’s not there, and goes above and beyond when she is!”

“Ruth was incredible! She sent photos, videos and updates throughout our time away. We had great peace of mind knowing our dog was with someone so caring and made her feel comfortable.”

“Milo stayed with Laura for the first time and it seems like he had a great time! She was great about sending updates on how Milo was doing and acclimating to his new environment. We know Milo has a safe, comfortable place to stay!”

“Becca was super responsive and took really good care of my cat while I was away. Would highly recommend and will definitely book again in the future.”

“Karen is a wonderful person. She made us feel very comfortable knowing we were leaving our baby in very good hands. She kept me updated with pictures and messages. Gage really enjoyed his visit with her and her husband. I actually think he misses them a little ? I will definitely use her services again.”

Taffy B.

“This is the second time we’ve had Andrea watch Bailey! She is very thoughtful and I am completely comfortable with leaving Bailey with her. And I think Bailey is comfortable too! I will definitely use Andrea again.”

“Ideal situation...Dion works from home so Skye spent most of her time out and about. Dion also has a dog, Gabby, who was a built in playmate for Skye so I’m sure she had more exercise and playtime than her usual day. Lastly, Dion has two adorable children who played with Skye like she was their dog. I’m surprised she wanted to come home! Thanks Dion!”

Brooke B.

“Tricia was amazing! We booked last minute and she was super accommodating and flexible. She sent us cute updates and our pup clearly had a lovely time. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

Tara T.

“Amazing! Thanks Katie!”

Corey C.

“Nathan did a great job with our dog and was very caring, helping her through some thunderstorms and separation anxiety. He was very considerate from the first meeting and excellent at communication, which I super appreciate. We felt very comfortable leaving our sweet dog with him and would gladly book again!”

Katie K.

“Matthew was amazing. I’ve only had Oakley for two weeks and am still getting to know his habits, on top of the fact that he is already 85 lbs, but none of that bothered Matthew. He sent daily pictures and confirmed that all was going well. He is very relaxed and Oakley got along very well with his three dogs. Matthew has a very large backyard and a 100’ lead that was great for Oakley since he loves to just lay outside. I highly recommend Matthew and will be using him again.”

About: I provide more than just pet sitting—I offer personalized, attentive care tailored to your dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s training a new puppy with patience and consistency, or offering gentle, comforting care to senior dogs with special routines or medications, I adapt to each dog’s personality and lifestyle. I communicate regularly with updates and photos, so you always feel connected. Your dog isn’t just being watched—they’re being cared for like family in a safe, loving environment. I’m currently boarding and daycare on weekends and sometimes weekdays. I’m offering my services because of the love of animals and the needs from owners. Sometimes owners need a break or a vacation that’s pup-free. And I get it! Helping achieve that for you while their dog-family is also cared for the way you would at home is so important. I just hope to make that gap in the industry a wonderful experience I have a fenced in yard, long walks and park near by. I have two small, non-aggressive, friendly dog that will give them company. I am more than happy to accommodate any crate needs or other requests.
