House Sitting in Alexandria

“Micaela is a trustworthy and extraordinary caretaker. Our elderly dog and two cats are a challenging brood that requires extra care and attention, and Micaela exceeded all our hopes.”

“Thank you Megan for staying at our home and taking such good care of our furkids while we were away for a long weekend. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay more enjoyable.”

About: I am experienced in caring for dogs, cats, and some species of reptiles. As a stay-at-home mom and small business owner, I take pride in providing dependable and compassionate care for animals. I was fortunate to grow up around animals, from farm animals to my own childhood cat, which helped build my lifelong love and understanding of animal care. I have experience assisting with pregnant cats and caring for kittens, as well as working with dogs and cats that are blind or deaf. I’m also comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats when needed. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and taking dogs for walks when the weather allows. While I am currently unable to offer boarding in my home, I am available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and potentially daycare services. I’m always happy to answer any questions and would love the opportunity to meet you and your companions. Meet-and-greets are welcome! Being a stay at home mom, means I'm home 24/7! (I think my fur babies loved this idea) Unless I need to run to the grocery store or run an errand. But I'm not usually home for more than a hour! My Reno’s feeding schedule is 8am & 8pm. I can fit your babes schedule in with his no worries! Itzel is a feed himself kinda guy. Wet food administered at bedtime. Reno’s potty times is usually every 3-4 hours unless he lets me know otherwise. I usually take one out at a time to give each the privacy. Taken out on a leash. If pets use a bed at home I recommend bringing it with them to make sure they're comfortable! Fur babies are kept inside. Your babies have the option to sleep on the couch, floor, bed, or in the open kennel. Whichever they prefer to feel comfortable.

About: Me and my family have been fostering dogs sense I was a kid. They've ranged from newborn puppies to senior dogs to disabled pups that need special care. Pet sitting is my full time job and I'm available most days. I have a passion for all animals and I'm always down to help them in my life. I have worked with disabled dogs so I'm always attentive to there needs. With my own to dogs I'm very good at picking up on body language and when they need potty breaks.

“Bailey did an amazing job with our pup! Our dog had special meal requirements which were executed flawlessly, and she sent us picture updates to assure us everything was going well. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs!”

“We had an excellent experience with Brandon! He came in advance to meet our pets, had great communication throughout, and was patient and kind with our dogs. He even brought treats for them! Our job was a big one, four puppies in addition to our two, but he handled it all with ease and no issues. He also proactively asked if there was anything else we wanted taken care of while he was here. Arrived on time and made the whole process so easy and stress-free. Highly recommend!”

“Great job watching Meg!”

About: I’ve looked after family and neighbors’ dogs whenever they needed, and love spending time with all kinds of pups. Whether it’s going for walks, playing outside, or just hanging out and keeping them company, I always make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I treat every dog like my own and do my best to keep their tails wagging! I’m available after 3:00 pm anyday. But my school schedule varies through out the week Monday I could stop in between 10 and 12 if needed, Tuesdays available at 1:00 pm, Thursdays available at 11:00 am. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well taken care of. I always keep an eye on safety, making sure doors and gates are secure and that everything stays clean and calm. My goal is to make your pet feel happy and at ease while you’re away.

About: I have a huge passion for dogs! I grew with dogs and cats in my household since I have been a child. My parents always had a dog and cats in their household. Currently have I three dogs of my own. I have German Shepherd, English Springer Spaniel, and a Chihuahua/Rat terrier mixed that was rescued from California. I have rescued many dogs and cats to safe local shelters in the area. Then done plenty of babysitting dogs for family and friends! All I can say is I just love dogs! I’m huge cat lover as well! I have lots cat experience and I’m always rescuing cats to good homes as well! Rescued two cats as well! Love my kitties! I work part time currently and I do have time to take care of other pets in my situation. This is a passion of mine! Willing to work week days and weekends! I don’t have fenced in your yard at this time. Your pet will be leashed when taking potty breaks or walks outside. I do have crate provided for your pet when sitting. I prefer pet sitting your horse and dog walking in your area where your house is located.

About: What sets me apart is the calm, home-style care. My home is tucked into the woods on 30+ private acres, where dogs can enjoy relaxed walks through the quiet trails through the woods, fresh air, and a quiet environment instead of city noise. I have lifelong experience with animals as I grew up on a hobby farm and have cared for just about every type of pet—dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, ferrets, and more. Animals are truly my safe place, and I believe they can feel when they’re genuinely loved and understood. **My care is intentionally small-scale and personalized — I only take a limited number of dogs so they can truly be part of the household. They spend their days alongside me, relaxing in normal home routines, getting plenty of affection, and enjoying quiet one-on-one time rather than staying in a run or kennel setting. I want them to feel like they’re visiting a second home, not a facility.** I have experience with puppies who need patience, reassurance, and routine, as well as senior pets who require gentle handling, extra comfort, and close attention. My biggest baby is an almost 12-year-old senior Great Dane (he lives at his second home), so I’m very familiar with mobility support, slower routines, and the extra love older pets need. I’m also experienced with medication administration and special care instructions. I treat every pet as if they were my own—creating a peaceful, low-stress environment where they can relax, feel safe, and feel truly cared for while their family is away. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily and weekly routine—it’s not something I “fit in,” it’s a part of my lifestyle. (I do house cleaning/managing) I structure my days around consistency, calm, and presence, which is exactly what animals thrive on. From morning feedings and potty breaks to walks, playtime, enrichment, medication schedules, and quiet cuddle time, I make sure each pet’s needs are met without feeling rushed. Because I genuinely enjoy being with animals, their care never feels like a task. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, energy levels, appetite, and mood, especially for senior pets or those who need extra support. I also keep communication open with pet parents, providing updates and peace of mind. Creating a peaceful, predictable environment helps pets feel safe and relaxed—and that’s always my priority. I care for pets in a calm, loving, and routine-based way—whether in my home or yours. I follow your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and medications so they feel safe and comfortable. I create a peaceful, low-stress environment and treat every pet like my own. I have experience with puppies who need structure and senior pets who need gentle, attentive care. About My Home:My home is set on a very private 30+ acre wooded property with secluded walking trails, offering a calm, natural environment for dogs to explore safely. This peaceful setting is ideal for pets who thrive with quiet routines, fresh air, and gentle outdoor stimulation.

About: I treat your pets like my own. I am active (love to take doggies on their walks), attentive, and full of love and snuggles. I have cared for all kinds and sizes of dogs (from the tiniest toy poodle to a massive rottweiler/German Shepard mix), cats, turtles and fish, too. Your pets are in safe and loving hands. Peace of mind while you travel. I work from home, so spend most of my days with your beloved pets. I wake early and love to take walks with doggies and cuddle with kitties. I am available to pet sit in your home, with joy! I am extremely clean, quiet and give great care to your home. Available to care for home plants and garden care as well.
