Top rated Alexandria doggy day care sitters
“Amanda has been nothing short of amazing to work with. She’s quick to respond and provides clear answers. It was so nice that she texted updates and photos through his time there as well. Her dogs seemed very friendly and laid back. Our dog is very friendly as well but a bit high energy and that doesn’t always interest other dogs so the fact that they get along means we will definitely be returning customers. I’d recommend Amanda to anyone, our dog loved it and we felt he was in great hands.”
“Will and Bibiana were absolutely amazing with Milo. They made me feel so comfortable that he would be taken care of and loved just as if he were home with me. They provided lots of pictures and took Milo on lovely long walks in nature!”
“We recently had Tina watch our toy aussiedoodle Roo. I can happily say that Roo did well on her first day of daycare. Tina has a wonderful fenced in yard, a beautiful open concept home with lots of dog toys for their enjoyment. Tina is a very knowledgeable sitter and I will definitely use her again for future daycare visits and boarding.”
“Deanna was awesome!! Her hospitality was great. Can't recommend enough..”
“Alyssa was very responsive, sent lots of pictures/updates and Tucker is nice and tired after a full day of playing! Thank you for taking great care of our little guy!”
“My dog had a great time with Jodi and her family! Clem felt right at home and received excellent care and attention. Communications from Jodi were prompt and frequent. I highly recommend her!”
“Our dog can be nervous around new people, but Laken got down on the floor with her and snuggled to make her comfortable. She had her two small dogs who played well with ours. She has a fenced yard and our dog enjoyed running around. We felt like she received good care and looked very comfortable when we picked her up.”
“Just an amazing person and sitter altogether! Stays in touch to keep you comfortable when you are away from your pupbabies! ..I would highly recommend this person! AAA +++ and beyond!”
“Jackson had 3 days of doggie daycare with Matthew, and he was tired at the end of the day but was waggin' his tail the next day to go back! I really appreciate Matthews flexibility in working with my schedule while I was visiting relatives in Columbus. His dogs may be large, but they are sweet as can be! If I come back this way to Columbus I would have Jackson stay again. Thank you!”
“Roo says she had a “pawfect time”. She loved the back yard! and didn’t miss us at all.”
“Rommel can be pretty shy around new folks so I am always nervous about introducing him to new people. He also isn’t a very affectionate dog (he only likes being petted when he first wakes up, then he has has enough and doesn’t really want that). When I went to pick him up he was loving all over them. I haven’t seen him warm up to anyone as quickly and as completely as he did here. What a wonderful experience!”
“Ashleigh and family took care of our 12 week old Cairn Terrier puppy while we took a day trip to visit family out of town. She seemed instantly at ease with him, her daughters were obviously very good with dogs and we had little doubt our pup would enjoy his "camp" experience. He did and even made friends with their pug. We had been looking for a sitter during the week and gladly would go with Ashleigh if it was easier on the commute. Zero concerns and I highly recommend trying them out.”
“Samantha was amazing! She took our pup in for doggy daycare last minute, was so kind and caring, and took fantastic care of our pup! She sent me updates throughout the day with pictures and was so flexible and accommodating to meet our pup’s needs and provide him with the best experience. He loved running and playing with her dogs and came home so happy! Would 100% recommend her and will definitely be using her daycare services again!”
About: Growing up I have always cared for our family pets. Today I have 3 rescue dogs of my own. My pups are apart of my family. I volunteer to transport dogs to a safe homes. Animals of any type depend on their humans to care for them. When their humans can’t be there for some reason they still need that special care and attention. I have always struggled when leaving my dogs to go away. What do I do with them? Who will care for them like I do? I would like to help people to be at ease knowing your pet will be well taken care of in my hands because I understand what it is like to have that worry. I will care for your pet as though they are mine.
