Dog Sitting in Blackwood

About: Long day of work or play? Don't let your dog get lonely, cooped up, or risk having an accident! Let them stretch their legs for a while with someone who is passionate about animal welfare. I am well-versed in both senior dogs and puppies, dogs with allergies and special needs, and leash training. Please me know if you are working on special commands, if your dog has any allergies or is on medications. Feel free to negotiate longer visits. About this sitter: Jordi is a big-time animal lover. From her family dogs to her pet hedgehog Wesley, she loves spending as much time as possible around animals as well as learning about exotic ones. She is an active volunteer at local shelters, creating enrichment activities and taking dogs for long walks. I'm currently unemployed in this disaster of a job market. While seeking full-time employment I am home 100% or at the local animal shelter volunteering. Whether it's couch cuddling, playing tug or fetch, games to give them mental stimulation, long walks, or socializing with other dogs, I am happy to follow your requests based on your dog's individual needs and preferences.

“Stacey and Anthony were amazing with our little guy Alfie!! They send so many pics and give the best updates, really makes us feel better about being away from him. Thank you guys!!”

About: I am a lover of all pets! Family, friends, and acquaintances all can see my passion and dedication to helping animals. I have been trusted to walk dogs, overnight sit dogs, and even take them to grooming appointments! No pet isn’t worthy of love and being taken care of <3 I currently am still in school. I’m able to walk pets on weekends and/or late afternoon if needed. I’m able to complete pop up opportunities, but only on weekends. I live in a home with a fenced in yard that is decently sized. I live with a toddler that loves all pets too but can be loud. I know how to build a crate and have the space for it in my home.

“Madison was great. I felt confident in her from the meet and greet. Madison is a genuine and honest person. She has a natural interest in cats, she wants to take good care of them and she does, taking no short cuts.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for some years, and many people have trusted me to taking care of their pets or stay all night to take care of them My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to spend quality time caring for pets throughout the week. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends for walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently live in a townhouse, I don't have a fenced yard but inside my house I have a lot of space where your pet can walk freely

“Kara was great. She took care of my cat for a week. She gave lots of pets and documented (in pictures and in short write-ups) her visits with Monty. I would definitely use her again in the future!”

“Hailey was amazing with our dog Luna!! She was able to accommodate our last minute scheduling while we were getting married. Her check ins with pictures and comments made us feel at ease while we were away. She even let Luna play with her dog for companionship!! She gave Luna a supplement too on top of her normal feeding. Thanks Hailey!!! We look forward to seeing you again!”

I have worked at an animal shelter in Alexandria as an ACT (animal care technician) so I work with dogs of all shapes and sizes! I currently am a vet student in the area on an internship! I’m super looking forward to looking after your dog!!

“It was a pleasure having Christina watch our Yorkie Evie. We appreciated her thorough communication and professionalism. We felt very comfortable having her dog-sit Evie while she is having a leg issue and required extra care. Evie looks forward to hanging with Christina again soon”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid, and I have raised two dogs myself along with my wife. I’ve also watched plenty of friends pets while they are out of town I work remote, so I often have free gaps throughout the day when I can take my dogs on walks or stop by for a visit. I have two incredibly friendly golden retrievers, but there is also plenty of space in my house along with a yard in case pets need space.

“Hunter was great - responsive and went above and beyond!”

“Stefanie came to walk our dog, but the dog was so nervous that she ran upstairs and was barking. Stefanie immediately messaged me and asked if there was anything she could do to help make our dog more comfortable with her. Stefanie did the right thing in a tough situation by messaging us right away to let us know that there was a problem. I hope that if our dog ever becomes comfortable with strangers in the future, that someone like Stefanie could drop in on her again”

“Jayden was exceptional !!Very caring and communicated often during her visits with our cat Blue!”
