Doggy Day Care in Alexandria Wrest, Alexandria, VA

About: I’ve had pets all my life: dogs and cats. I’ve saved multiple homeless dogs and cats and have a huge passion for caring for animals. I am available on a short notice and 7 days a week! Pretty much any time morning-day-evening works for me. Just give me a ring and we will a day and time that works for all of us. I have a small fenced yard. I have cats in the house but can isolate them if needed. I prefer cat friendly dogs for boarding but I can make myself available for pretty much any pet caring needs.

About: With years of experience in dog sitting, including specific expertise in caring for elderly dogs and administering medication, I offer a nurturing environment for your fur baby. I work from home in a small, cozy residence that includes access to a nearby dog park. Your dog will enjoy long walks, playtime, and free-range freedom in a loving setting. I started this business because, after losing my own dog, I deeply miss the joy and comfort that a dog brings. I’m not ready to get another pet just yet, so I’m dedicated to providing the same care and affection to your beloved pets. Your dog will receive personalized attention and a comforting presence while you're away. My schedule is very flexible. Working from home allows me to set my own hours and breaks. I have the ability to work around your dogs schedule. I allow your pets to have free range around my home. They are allowed to jump on furniture just as long as they are groomed and clean before their stay.

“Zeeba enjoyed her time with Sarah. Zeeba took some initial minutes to get use to Sarah’s dog, but once I left, Zeeba was in great hands. I would book her again.”

About: Hi! I have a genuine love for animals. I have a cat and dog of my own and regularly pet sit for friends and family. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes—from teacups to Saint Bernard mixes—so I’m comfortable with a wide range of pets. I’m patient, caring, and always go the extra mile to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I currently am not working outside of the home and am a full time student with a very flexible schedule and am able to help with pet care almost everyday! I am flexible in how I am able to care for your fur baby. I can play with them within your yard, if fenced in, as well as in your home after a walk outside!

“Iuliia was an awesome sitter for our 8-month old goldendoodle, Lili! Not only did I feel like Lili was in great, caring hands with Iuliia, but Iuliia was great at communicating prior to our booking and scheduled meetup time. It was the first time Lili went with someone she didn't know, and I was a little worried how she would do separating, but she felt immediately comfortable with Iuliia and all was smooth start to finish. Iuliia provided photos of the day's events and followed the given care instructions to the T. Overall, working with Iuliia was a seamless experience from first contacting her here on Rover to her handing over Lili back to us. I would definitely work with her again and would recommend her to others.”

“Kimberly was great! She took the time to make sure Otis was comfortable and not overstimulated. It was our first venture to attempt to socialize Otis with other dogs after he was bit. She made is feel at ease with his stay.”

About: I am 29 years old and am currently on Paid Leave/Not Working full time, so I’m back on Rover for the time being! I was born and raised around pets of all kinds in my household. From Great Danes to German shepherds to miniature poodles, I’ve cared for many furry friends (even birds, snakes, and goats!). Growing up, I always had three dogs at once as well as cats. I learned to handle and care for them at a young age and enjoy continuing this experience today. I have been professionally pet sitting for 3 years now. I have a lot of energy, so I am able to go on long walks or runs for any dog to get the daily exercise they need! Cats can be a little more independent, but it’s still important to establish a friendly presence around them so they don’t feel alone. I look forward to meeting and caring for any pet in need! A few times a week, I provide walks and meals for dogs of my friends’ who are required to work in an office and cannot make time to tend to these daily needs. I have a flexible schedule and work remotely, so I have ample time to look after animals. When pet sitting, I make sure to give attention to pets essentially at all times. I have experience staying on a schedule and feeding animals at appropriate times. I also enjoy making runs to pet stores to get treats and toys to surprise the dogs. Depending on the age and size, I walk the dog 2-5 times per day and have some play time as well.

“Great communication and care with my dog. Happy to do business with in the future!”

About: I have cared for dogs of all size since I was 8. I grew up with a sweet medium sized mutt. She was my best friend for 11 years and we did literally everything together from walks to park visits to playing and exploring. My friends have also relied on me taking care of their pets while they were away by taking them on walks, feeding them, and playing with them. I currently work from home during most days of the week and am free on the weekends. I can take care of your fur baby on the days you need to be in the office or on the weekends when you need to be somewhere! There are plenty of green space where I am for walks and exploring so rest assured that your pet will get the exercise he or she needs.
