“Crisa was such a help in such a short time. She took notes of what my fur kids need it, and asked good questions. Definitely keep conversation going during the visit vs giving up on my older dog.

14. Alexa M.
About: I have helped my parents take care of two dogs while growing up and now take care of my own two dogs and have helped take care of kittens as well as cared for a fish. I am a full time homemaker so I am home mostly every single day for most of the day I typically only leave to go shopping or to appointments so I am able to adequately take care of pets whenever needed. I have a pen in my backyard as well as a runner for dogs to get outside time. I like to take my dogs for walks around my neighborhood and to dog parks. The only time pets are in kennels are when we are not home and overnight however I am willing to pick my animals up or send them to a family member who is willing to watch them if your pets have issues with other pets
15. Jaenell A.
“I have had many friends look after my dog and also seen how they are with their dogs but none compare to the way Jaenell has expressed her love for animals especially dogs. It is clear she has had personal experience with multiple types of dogs as well. Although I have only heard how she felt about her dog that passed away, just getting a glimpse of how passionate she is about dogs and how much she truly cares about their health and the way they're treated, I cannot imagine how happy and loved her dog was. She was the first person to notice when something was off with my dog the day before I took him to the hospital and for his possible osteoarthritis (undiagnosed yet). Jaenell is very quick to notice and pays a lot of attention to detail through her love yet also gives as much as affection and whatever is needed for the dog. She is both the mom and dad and consists of all the qualities an amazing dog owner and trainer has; any dog that undergoes her care will be cherished and taken very well care of. I highly recommend!”
16. Harmony-Ann P.
“Harmony was so sweet and welcoming. Milo loved her right away with his hard tail wags. She tired him out and allowed him to walk his way. She updated me and provided me detailed information. Appreciate her for that”
17. Maria K.
“Maria is a true dog lover. She has watched my 2 dogs on numerous occasions and is very sweet to them. She takes them on long walks, gets down on the ground and plays with them and rubs their bellies! Maria clearly loves being around dogs and caring for their needs and I highly recommend her as a dog sitter.”
18. Melissa S.
About: Ever since I was a toddler we’ve been a multiple pet household. We’ve moved with both cats and dogs, and sometimes had to leave them behind in someone else’s care for prolonged periods of time. I understand how nerve wracking it can be to leave a part of your family in a strangers care, so I’m here to take care of them in their and your home, hopefully easing the anxiety it brings. Currently, I am a high school graduate who will be attending college next semester. I am using this time to work both weekends and weekdays. Growing up in a military household I’ve lived in many different environments. Because of this I’ve learned to take care of our pets in spite of the many obstacles we’ve endured. I am certain I can adapt to your home and help take care of your pet(s) keeping them happy, healthy, and comfortable.
19. Katey Z.
“Katey seems to have always had a special way with animals, big and small. She is caring and patient when she needs to be, but firm enough that an animal will listen to her. She is conscientious when caring for animals.....she really makes sure they are safe, healthy and happy.”
20. Laura V.
About: I have 18 years of experience as a dog mom, my last pup crossed the rainbow bridge leaving a huge void. I enjoy walking pups to fill the void and as a form of exercise. I will care for your pup as if it were mine, and ensure they are safe and happy. I also have access to military bases and live outside of Quantico. I am available most Wednesdays and Thursdays, Friday and the weekend. Please shoot me a message to work out specific details. I will do my best to accommodate your schedule. A typical walk will last 30 minutes, but can go beyond 30 minutes weather permitting and if your pup is tolerating of a longer distance. During our walk I will carry water and potty bags, and run/walk your pup depending on their needs. Your pup's safety will be my number one priority and will care for them as if they were my own.
