Top rated Alexandria cat sitters
“Michelle and Ken took great care of our cats (one with special needs) and our house. It brings such peace of mind to know we can enjoy our time away and not worry about anything at home. Highly recommend!”
“Olivia's gentle and calm presence even won over my timid Natasha! I loved the photo she sent showing both Boris and his "sisfur" coming out to greet her! She was right on time, and posted photos of her visit- and my kitties were well taken care of. It's great to have someone local I can contact for drop in visits.”
“Darnell was great with our fur babies! He was super thorough and made sure everything was taken care of each visit. We felt so comforted knowing that, while we were away from home, Darnell was checking in on them, spending some time with them, and taking care of everything they needed. He was also quick to communicate if anything came up and we really appreciated that as well! It’s hard to find a pet sitter with whom you feel totally safe leaving your pets, but Darnell is definitely a sitter that I would request again after seeing how well he treated ours :)”
“Dawn was easy to work with, she checked in on our cat everyday for 3 days, and sent photos and a report card through Rover. We look forward to using her again for our next vacation. Thanks Dawn!”
“Cheyanne took great care of our cat. She came to the house to meet with me and go over everything before I went away. While I was gone she left a note each day explaining what was done during her visit. I would recommend her to others and definitely plan on asked her to care for our cat next time I travel.”
“Andrea was fantastic! She was kind enough to accommodate our last minute booking, and, as always, took great care of our cat. We would recommend her without reservations!”
“Kate did a great job! She was prompt with communications and very attentive to our cat- she clearly loves working with animals ! We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Alyssa was wonderful! She came by the day before we needed her to meet Bella and go over everything. She was extremely communicative the whole day and took excellent care of our baby. I highly recommend her!”
“Ben and Laura are great! They took excellent care of Lemon and were perfectly respectable towards our property. It was a delight seeing how excited Lemon was to see them come by for their last visit. Who knew her tail could shake so fast?!”
“Great, consistent communication, sent photos of my Kitty daily, along with updates. My cat is very skittish around people but Sue was eventually able to pet her, which is a big win.”
“Larry boarded our two cats at his house while we were on an extended trip (six weeks). He took great care of them - pretty sure they were mad to leave his house and come home! I appreciated how Larry took the time to meet and understand the cats’ needs before booking the job. It is obvious he is an animal lover and cares for them like they are his own. Will definitely consider Larry for future cat sitting needs!”
“I highly recommend Jessica! She was great with Aslan. Aslan can be quirky with new people--but he warmed up so quickly to Jessica (in fact, he was asleep on her feet about 15 minutes into our meet and greet!) Based on the pictures she sent, he looked happy and content on his walks. Jessica was prompt for our meetups and even swung by a second time to pick up a key (when I couldn't find it the day of our meetup). We'll definitely use Jessica again when we're away in the future.”
“Abby was great with my cats! Communicative and I appreciated getting photos. Would def use again.”
About: We’ve had pets for over 20 years. One of us used to also pet sit as a side job. Because we are currently traveling on and off, we don’t have our own pets now but love to spend time with all animals. For the past three years, we’ve fostered dogs for a local NH animal shelter. We have experience with animals (our own and fosters) who have required medications and special care. We love to take the dogs for walks, and if they’re able, local hikes. We are home for most of the day. We are currently in between travels and so we can commit all of our time to your furry family member(s)! We can exercise them as little or as much as they require. We live in a condo without a fenced yard but are surrounded by great leashed walking and hiking locations. If you have a fenced yard we would be happy to run your dog in your familiar yard off leash or at a familiar dog park. We have a crate available for pups who prefer or require crating at night or when left alone briefly. We often drive to local fields, parks, rivers and other locations for walks.
About: Working with animals of all sizes, from cats and dogs, to horses and more, I have lots of valuable experience! My love and passion for animals since childhood has continued on into college, where I am majoring in Veterinary Technology and Animal Sciences. My classes provide me with further exposure and education on species of all kinds. Being around animals is truly my happy place! Being home from college on break until the last week of January, I am hoping to stay busy and hang out with some furry friends! My schedule and availability will be determined on a first come, first serve basis! I am very thorough with the caretaking of animals, ensuring everything is done safely and as requested by the owners. I will love and care for your pets, just as I would my own!
“We cannot say enough positive things about Valerie! We had a few rotations of sitters to cover the several weeks we were gone (family and a neighbor), and Valerie was definitely the most experienced of them all. Our one cat takes a pill daily, and while he takes it just fine for his mom, he wasn't taking it for the sitters. Valerie came up with safe, creative ways to get him to take his pill. She also left wonderfully detailed check-in notes and was very communicative. We'd highly recommend her if you want peace of mind that someone experienced and compassionate is taking care of your fur children!”
About: Being a long time animal lover, I love spending my time walking and training dogs. I’ve worked at various animal hospitals, doggy daycares, and boarding facilities. I am willing to travel, and it would be a great perk if my 3 year old lab could come play or walk with your pup as well! My schedule is very flexible. I am willing to travel, and am open to schedule changes to work with your needs as well. I can do holidays as well as weekends with a planned notice. All I want is for your pet to feel comfortable and have a great time playing and/or going for a walk. Engaging shy/fearful dogs with toys and treats is always a great way to earn trust.
“Excellent! Will hire again. Very caring and communicates well.”
“Moriah was all-around fantastic! She gave good, clear communication and took wonderful care of our senior cat, Mr. G. Having her housesit was such a relief when we were far from home. I would absolutely book her again!”
“I would highly recommend Jessica. She did a wonderful job with my two dogs over a holiday weekend, and I so appreciate her kindness, caring, and compassion. I will definitely book again with Jessica.”

When looking for anyone to take care of any of your pets, you can put all your confidence and trust in Pete.”
