About: As a lifelong animal lover and a dog owner myself, caring for pets comes naturally to me. My own puppy, who my partner and I rescued two years ago struggled with anxiety. She taught me how to read body language and adjust my approach which helps to meet each furbabies specific needs. Whether your pup needs high energy play, extra patience, or a gentle low stress walk, I will give the care they need to feel safe and happy! I’m looking forward to helping out local dog owners! My availability fluctuates so just send me a request and ill see what i can do! I naturally take daily evening walks to stay active, so having a furry friend join me would be a joy. If you need reliable and attentive help with your pup during those times I'd love to connect! Your pets happiness and safety mean everything to me! Whenever I'm caring for your furbaby I will treat them just like my own! Ill stick strictly to their usual routines for meals, meds, and playtime so they feel comfortable and loved. On walks, I'm super mindful of secure leashes and keeping a close eye on our surroundings. You can always count on me for cute photos and updates on how our visit went and leaving your home safe, locked, and tidy!

“Michelle was able to accommodate to my changing schedule when I went out of town! She was professional and did everything we need to take care of my cat. A+ work! Would recommend!”

About: I've been caring for pets my whole life, and I've owned dogs, cats, fish, reptiles and birds, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of animals and their different needs. My first job was at a doggy daycare, where I learned to read dog body language, manage playgroups of all sizes and energy levels, and keep every pup safe and happy. I also have some grooming experience, so I'm comfortable with handling, brushing, and spotting skin, coat, or paw issues early. Your pet will get attentive, experienced care every time! I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I'm available for walks throughout the day, including midday visits when most owners are at work. Consistency matters to dogs, so I'm happy to keep the same time slot each day if that works best for your pup. To give you peace of mind, I follow your pet's usual routine and your specific instructions, whether that's a certain walk length, treats or praise when they do their business, or some quick snuggles before I head out. I always keep the weather in mind, so I'll shorten walks on very hot or cold days, check for hot pavement, and dry off muddy paws. I'll make sure doors and gates are secure and food and water are taken care of.

About: My name is Taylor and I am a veterinary technician servicing the DMV area. I have been working with dogs specifically since I was 15 and cats since I was 18. I personally have a cat and have had dogs in the past, and I understand the stress put on the importance of finding someone that you can trust to watch your animals while you are away. Safety is my upmost concern and as a veterinary technician and a groomer, I am very experienced in dog and cat care and would love to babysit your little angel! I can't wait to meet you and thanks for visiting my profile! I currently work from home so I have more than enough time to devote to your pet and their individual needs. My hours are not necessarily tied to a desk or computer either, so I am able to do walks freely throughout the day. Depending on the customers request, I am able to accommodate most housing accomodations. There is a room specifically designated in the house for the pet for the duration of the stay, which has toys, beds, food and water as well as a TV. it’s also a daybed for me as well so that I am able to stay in the room with your pet. My backyard is large and it’s open, however I will be keeping pers on-leash anytime they are outside.

“Veronica did an awesome job with my dog on there first get together even though he was being a brat. She approached it with calm kindness and let him come to her. Once he figured it out they got along great.”

“My dog, Mocha, absolutely loves Rachel! I never have to worry when I leave her in Rachels care. My pup is always so happy (and exhausted) when I come back. Rachel takes special caution with my pup and her age - always taking things at her limit and being cognizant of the temperature out. Shes great at making my dog feel special and loved when I am not around. Thank you Rachel!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for many years. My dad has three Labs, and I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I’m very comfortable with a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets, I spent the summer of 2024 dog sitting while I was home from college, where I was responsible for feeding, walking, playing, and making sure each dog felt safe and cared for. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means keeping an energetic dog active or giving extra care and comfort to more relaxed or older pets. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. I just moved to Alexandria from Maine. I know the area well as I have visited family all my life here. I am finishing my masters degree online and I am looking for a side gig as I search for my full time job! I’m a responsible, dependable, and trustworthy person who understands how important it is to feel comfortable letting someone into your home and caring for your pets. I’m respectful of your space, attentive to details, and committed to following your instructions to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved. You can count on me to treat your home with care and your pets as if they were my own!

“The 3 boys (cats) enjoyed their time worth Corridsa and her ability to drop in on them made a highly stressful summer resort to manage. They was some initial confusion about hope long their custody were supposed to be, which she addressed very quickly. She is communicative, thorough, and very reliable! Exactly what we needed, especially with the world going wonky on us the last few months.”

“JT was wonderful-flexible to schedule and has great communication. I loved all the pictures I received and know my fur baby was well taken care of!”

“Stacy really went above and beyond with caring for our pets. She noticed Nas hadn’t eaten his food one night and she sat with him until he finished all his food. I really appreciated her doing that as he probably noticed after the first night we hadn’t come back home & missed us. Providing our pets with emotional support is something most will not do but Stacy went beyond what was asked.”

About: Hello pet parents! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. From raising family pets of my own to spending the last three years actively fostering rescue dogs, I know firsthand that every pet comes with their own unique personality, energy level, and routine. Over the years, friends, family, and coworkers have continuously trusted me with their beloved pets while traveling, and now I’m excited to bring that same dedicated, compassionate care to your furry family members! Whether your dog is an energetic adventurer who loves long neighborhood strolls or your cat prefers gentle feather-wand games, quiet lap time, and chin scratches, I take pride in providing a safe, attentive, and joyful environment tailored to your pet's needs. I work full-time during standard business hours and am finished by 3:00 PM (free after 3pm). I am fully available for late-afternoon and evening drop-ins, feeding visits, walks, and overnight sitting. In Your Home: Emphasizes respect for client homes, following exact house rules and routines, cat/dog care (litter box + play), and regular photo updates, plenty of walks and snuggles as needed.

“Trina helped us check in on our cat, and responded promptly to my request. She’s professional, courteous, and maintained communication throughout the whole process. She gave our cat some treats, food, checked on her water, and most importantly she gave her some love 😻. My cat enjoyed Trina’s company and was PURRRing on the phone !🧡 Trina was kind enough to offer to check in on my backyard hens when I mentioned that I was little worried about them too. We appreciate all your help and the peace of mind you gave us while we’re away. 🙏”
