“Alexandra did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty for a week plus! She is a lovely person - the kitty (and my granddaughter and I) liked her from the get go. She is utterly dependable - you can just about set your watch by her visits. She is flexible - I had to extend her visits twice, at the last minute, and she graciously rolled with it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to anyone and will definitely reach out to her next time we need help with our kitty!”

“Ashley was absolutely incredible! She took care of our two dogs and two cats like they were her own. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving, responsible hands. She followed all our instructions perfectly, gave us regular updates, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy and comfortable. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals, and it showed in every interaction. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with Ashley again!”

“They were great—shared pictures/videos with every visit and even watered my plants after noticing they looked thirsty. Extremely easy to communicate with as well.”

“I would like to take a moment and brag on Lacie. Not only did she show up a little earlier than her designated time, she spent 30 minutes pampering and catering to my two babies. My dogs are a pretty good judge of character, and they came right to her like they had known her for years. 🩷 she also took pictures of them for me and showed her progress during the visit. I will be referring her to my friends and family, and will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you, Lacie, for being so good to my fur babies. 🩷🐾🩷🐾”

“Samantha took such great care of my babies! She gave them lots of love and attention, and she followed my instructions perfectly!! She eased my anxiety so much with her updates and photos 🥹🥹🥹”


About: I’m a teacher, lifelong dog lover, and proud dog mom to two pups of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is simple: make your dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you total peace of mind. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, couch cuddles, or just a calm companion, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. I’m dependable, patient, detail-oriented, and committed to treating every pet like family. Plus, expect plenty of photo updates because I know how much we all miss our dogs when we’re away! I am a teacher so I am off for the summer. So I have lots of time to care for pets! Whether that is drop-in visits or going on walks. Available on weekdays and weekends. Please request to schedule in advance due to trips or dates J may not be available! Our house is a home to dogs only, as my husband and I are both unfortunately allergic to cats. Our dogs get yearly vaccinations and are free from fleas and heart worms, and they LOVE guests as they are very friendly and well-trained. I am available to have overnight sitting if your pet is comfortable with other dogs.
About: I have grown up with pets and critters my entire life! Having labs, boarder collies, German shepherds, boxers and even a chihuahua growing up, I have been around a wide range of dogs for as long as I can remember. I have also grown up around livestock and other household pets, especially horses, and have been trusted to farm sit for families going on vacation who have a long list of pets they needed care for. I have experience with dogs of various energy levels, health concerns and behavioral concerns and strive to accommodate their specific situation the best I can! P.s. - I'm also a photographer and (obviously) adore dogs so you will probably (definitely) get pictures of your pup while you're away! I currently work from home and have rather flexible work hours so I can make almost any time work for visiting and walking your dogs! Whether it be a simple potty break in the backyard or a longer walk, I am happy to make it happen! I currently plan to offer walks and drop in visits but will eventually offer more services in the future. Safety for your dog is my top priority! During my time with them, I plan to closely follow your directions for their specific needs and preferences. I am happy to walk them (or let them out) in the areas you have allotted and return them to the area you prefer them to be left in, whether that be crated or not. I have been around many dogs with various needs and am happy to accommodate to your pups situation!
About: Hi! I’m a proud dog mom of 5+ years and totally understand how hard it can be to leave your pup with someone new. I’ve had my Italian Spitz since she was a tiny fluffball, so I’ve been through all the puppy stages that includes lots of zoomies, daily walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles 🥰 . Being hands-on from day one has taught me how important routines, patience, and giving each dog the attention they deserve really are. When your pup stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. My husband and I make sure every dog gets as many walks, potty breaks, and play sessions as they need, plus lots of one-on-one attention. I’m also big on updates, so you can expect frequent photos and messages showing your dog having a great time! My goal is for you to relax knowing your pup is happy, safe, and having fun 😌 I work from home during the week, which means I’m around most of the day to give pups the attention they need. I’m able to keep a close eye on them, stick to their routines, and make sure they get timely walks, potty breaks, and lots of check-ins throughout the day. I have a good-sized, fully fenced backyard where your pups can safely run around, play, and burn off energy. Also, if your dog is a couch or bed cuddler at home, they’re welcome to be one here too.
About: I have grown up with pets all of my life and have always loved them! My mom started Rover awhile back and we have gotten to love so many sweet fur babies! I love getting to help her with all of the dogs that stay, sometimes weeks. at our house and with her drop in visits! I work 9am-6pm M-F! I am available to do drop ins/ walks before 9 and after 6 though during those days! I’m more than happy to adjust to your schedule as much as I can! I have a fenced in back yard! It’s never too busy and the fur babies would have plenty of room to run around and play! They would also have my sweet doodle to keep them company!
About: I have never had a dog on my own before. But I have watched dogs in the past so I understand their needs to take care of them properly. I recently graduated from college and I am looking for a way to make some money while I am preparing for my boards. So since I have no more classes to go to I am pretty open whenever. I will be able to do whatever your availability is and what it is that you need. I care for pets by ensuring that there is nothing dangerous out in the house for them to get into. I also make sure that there are no wide open windows and that all doors and windows are locked when a pet is home alone for a long period of time.
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take pride in providing patient, loving, and reliable care. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, refreshing water, and following specific care instructions such as schedules or basic medications if needed. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get regular walks or playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m attentive and present, and I enjoy building pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I have a fenced in backyard where we can run around and play together. I can give medications, give baths, do any special accommodations, etc.

About: I provide attentive, compassionate care with experience supporting senior dogs and their unique needs. As a dedicated cat owner with four sensitive cats, I’m especially mindful of medications, routines, and subtle health changes, always giving extra care, patience, and consideration to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and truly loved like family. I am a full-time student whose classes end around noon, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! Days vary, but whenever I am home for the weekends, I am free 24/7 (: The space that I curate is clean, food free, and safe for any pet to feel comfortable in! I am very attentive when it comes to my pets’ needs and it is my top priority for them to be taken care of <3
About: I have always had my own animals, but I've only house/pet sitted for my aunt for about 1 year. I love animals and animals love me. I am off of work every other week and will be available on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday on my week off in the Alexandria and surrounding areas. I do not offer in home care. I am only looking to do dog walking, home visits as needed, running dogs to the groomer, vet appointments, or daycare drop off and pickups.
“Would definitely recommend Kayli. She was so so great with my dog Rose while we were out of town. She did in home visits, communicated with me so well and took plenty of pictures during her visits. I will definitely be using her again when I have to go back out of town! ❤️❤️”

About: For as long as I can remember , i’ve always had a pup/doggy growing up! There’s never a day that I was not around a dog! I’ve had a Golden Retriever , Pugs , Pit Bulls , Poodle , & others. What sets me apart from other sitters is that i’m very aware at all times & I make sure I tend to what they’re wanting no matter what it is . I’m a very communicative woman . I know they do understand what i'm saying . I do have experience in training !! I am available anytime , any day of the week ! I do not have anything that separates me from being able to care for your pup ! I take them out to potty every other hour or so , even if they don't have to use the restroom , it’ll be good for them to talk a walk . stretch their legs . get some fresh air . they will be fed according to their parents needs/wants! I can & will bathe them if needed !!
