Pet Boarding Alexandria

“Pepper had a great extended stay with Gabrielle and Jet! We received daily updates and were happy that Pepper had a pal to play and snooze with.”

“Our dog had a great stay with Allison and family. He was well cared for and we got lots of status update pics. This was our first visit and we will be return customers when the next need comes up.”

“Hayley was fantastic! Setting up a meet and greet was incredibly easy, and she was so accommodating and friendly right off the bat. She has a very calm, friendly, and grounding presence that our dog took to immediately. Everything went perfectly while we were away, and she was excellent at communicating, sending photos, and she followed all of our routines perfectly. It gave us so much peace of mind to know our Stanley was in such good hands. We would definitely book with Hayley again without hesitation!”

Caroline K.

“Our puppy Onyx always has the best time with Meghan and her family! Meghan is kind and patient with our young pup and shares all the love and snuggles with him while we are away.”

About: I absolutely love dogs, but I travel too often to have one of my own. I have years of experience dog-sitting for friends and family, and want to expand my doggie caregiving to love on more pups! I am typically available after 5PM on weekdays, with some work from home days, and additional availability on the weekends! I can work with your schedule. I would be happy to care for your dog in my home, or to drop by for a visit or walk at yours! In my home, I typically let dogs roam free, but can work around your crate routine, if needed!

“Metricia & her family for a joy to work with! Minnie loved her time & got plenty of walks, cuddles & treats! Metricia was very flexible when I had to drop her off one hour later and pick her up one hour later! I would totally book her again!”

About: We're CJ and Michael, a couple of lifelong dog lovers who both grew up with dogs and have been pet-sitting for neighbors, friends, and family for years. CJ is a resident physician, so she's calm, responsible, and great at following your care instructions to the letter. Michael works from home in consulting, which means your dog will have company, attention, and plenty of potty breaks throughout the day, not just at drop-in times. We live an active lifestyle and love long walks, exploring parks, and spending time outside — so high-energy pups fit right in with us. Just as happily, we'll match a mellow dog's pace with couch cuddles and slow strolls. Your dog will be treated like family: exercised, loved, and safe. We'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you're away. Michael works from home full-time, so your dog will have company and attention throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. Walks fit naturally into our daily routine: a morning walk, a midday break, and once CJ is home from work, we take a long evening walk that your dog is more than welcome to join. We're active on weekends too and love bringing a dog along to parks and around the neighborhood. Your dog will stay in our clean, dog-friendly home with plenty of cozy spots to relax. We keep a consistent routine — regular walks, fresh water, and lots of attention. All walks are leashed, and we're careful about doors, gates, and anything a curious pup might get into. If your dog is crate-trained, we're happy to keep that routine going. We treat every dog like our own and send regular photo updates so you always know how they're doing.

About: With 5 years of regular pet sitting experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages - from bouncy puppies and playful kittens to my true area of expertise: senior pets. I understand the unique needs that come with each life stage, from puppy energy and socialization to the extra patience, gentle handling, and attentiveness that senior pets often require (think mobility issues, medication schedules, and just plain more TLC). Every pet in my care gets individualized attention tailored to their age, temperament, and routine. Whether it’s a high-energy young dog needing exercise and mental stimulation, or an older cat who just wants a quiet lap and consistent care, I adjust my approach to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work from home so my schedule allows flexibility for lots of walks and potty breaks. My personal daily routine included exercise and regular walks, I’d love to include your pet! My home is one level and my yard is fenced in allowing for convenience to get outside easily and stay safe. Pets are welcome to roam free in my home, but happy to work with any crates or other training needs to stay on track.

“Sally took great care of my dog, Wren. She asked lots of great questions about Wren's needs and personality during the meet and greet, and provided regular updates and was quick to respond to messages. I will definitely ask her to pet sit again. Thanks!”

“John and his wife Kelly took awesome care of our senior pup. They were fast with communication, gave her meds, and were very loving towards our girl. We will use them again!”

Bonnie B.

“Very kind and sweet. Lisa was able to watch my American bully (2 years old M) got 3 days while providing up dates throughout the day. She kept me informed about any difficulty she was having and made sure she could handle my puppy before we left. She loved my puppy and my puppy loved her so 10/10 will book again”

About: I love all animals in general, I grew up taking care of dogs, rabbits, fish, birds, and turtles and have helped my roomies with their pets. I've volunteered at the Humane Society in Pasadena, CA and I have boarded dogs before. Now that I live alone and don't have pets I am trying out Rover to be able to make new furry friends, did I mention I have a backyard? I'm super detail oriented and will go above and beyond to take care of your high-needs pet. Also, I am big on cleanliness so let me know if your dog needs a bath and I'd be happy to help with that. If you would want me to take your dog out for frequent walks just let me know! I am working part-time from home and I am very active so going for walks is easy. I will plan ahead and let you know about our daily schedule and send pics, of course. I have a very sweet and gentle cat that sleeps on their corner all day, and I have a separate home office where I work during the day. Your pet would be with me all day or in the main living area if they wanted to.

“Ashley was great! She provided photos and took my dog to the dog park.”

Breaira W.

“Highly recommend! My dog stayed here for a multiple day booking and had an amazing time. The sitter was fantastic and which allowed my dog to socialize and spend time around a friendly large breed dog, which was a wonderful bonus experience. It was great to see my dog so comfortable, well-cared for, and happily socializing. I will definitely use this sitter again in the future!”

LaToya H.

“So nice to leave your dog with someone like Erin who takes such good care of your dog. I can tell Gretchen had a really good time and loves being with Erin. When we drop our dog off, she races to the door barking because she’s so excited.”

Dawn D.

“Absolutely the best experience. Dogs were well loved, cared for, had their cake and ate it too! Would absolutely feel confident leaving my boys with Ranger and his humans!”

Nikki G.

“Katie was amazing. She treated my Lexi like one of her own. She kept me updated with pictures and updates. I will definitely rebook if we go out of town again.”

Candis S.

“This has been one of the most relaxed boarding experiences ever - Sandy was so wonderful and I think we are going to be regulars at her place :) My Elvis came back looking happy, healthy and missing his buddy. I loved the daily pictures and updates, and the drop-off/pick-up were very convenient. Thank you Sandy!”
