“If we could give Janet 6 stars, we would. Janet truly loves animals and cared for our cats. She took excellent care of them: feeding, cleaning their boxes, treats, and sent at least a dozen pictures every day. If you need someone reliable for your furbabies, book Janet. Unless we need her, then you can't have her. :)”


“Meah met with me beforehand to meet my cat Mae and discuss her needs. She was very flexible about time and any changes. She did everything she promised to do and Mae was happy. I recommend her to anyone with a pet or a few pets.”


“Jim cared for my dog and 3 cats for the weekend. My cats had complex instructions and one of them required daily oral medication. Jim did an excellent job of caring for them all and my dog loved the walks and massage time.”


About: I have 9+ years of experience working as a dog walker and carer. I also volunteered at a dog rescue for an additional 2 years. I've worked with dogs of all sizes and with all sorts of personalities and physical limitations. Each dog requires their own individual attention based on their upbringing, age, and physical capabilities. I am patient and affectionate with dogs and love taking them outdoors to stretch their legs and explore the world. I hope you will consider me as your dog's next new friend. I live in a house with a small fenced yard, but take my dogs (and will take your fur baby) on several walks every day. I feed my dogs on their schedule and can easily follow your dog's schedule, being mindful of his/her specific needs. When boarding your dog at my home, your pup will be treated as lovingly as mine. I cuddle, play, and exercise with the dogs. I make sure your dog is happy while you're away, and I send a lot of pictures and videos. I know I would love the same if my dog were in your hands. I generally do Rover walks Mondays-Wednesdays in Alexandria. I host dogs for daycare or boarding at my house in Manassas on Wednesday nights through Sunday nights. Your fur baby is in great hands at my home. I give lots of pets and cuddles, as well as taking your pup out to stretch his/her legs. I have a two dogs who enjoy playing tug and chase with new furry friends. There's also a shy cat who lives in the house, so your dog has to be good with cats.

“Brenda stopped by our home to check on our kitties and make sure they were fed and given some love! She took a bunch of photos and did everything I asked and was very punctual. She was quick to respond and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who was looking for a trustworthy person to stop by while they’re away!”


“Literally what would we do without Katey. She is so reliable, communicative, and fantastic with our dog Ginger. We’ve had some hiccups with Ginger suddenly developing separation anxiety and when Katey came by to a wrecked crate (and we couldn’t make it home to deal with it) she handled it like a pro and took fantastic care of our dog. I feel better having Katey watch Ginger than I do some of my friends/family!”


“Michele is such a wonderful person. We met her and our dog Emma fell in the love with her and the feeling was mutual. Michele is a responsible Dog Walker who is prompt and takes pictures and videos of how your dog is doing!! Amazing and highly recommend!!”

About: I have had dogs since I was ten years old and have loved them ever since! I like to balance enrichment and fun with safety (especially in this heat!) and will love your dogs like they are my own. I am a responsible college graduate and am looking forward to giving your dogs some great walks while catering to any special care or diet they may need. I am currently pet sitting full time, so I can take care of your pets at any time of the day! I am saving up before my move to my post graduate job :) I have a fenced yard and three kind dogs to keep your fur baby company. Your dog will always be under my supervision, regardless of the setting. My main priority is keeping your fur baby safe. I like to check the pavement before walks to ensure it isn’t too hot as well.

“Michelle is new to our regimen but it worked out perfectly! She was great with Emma and our cats and fosters! I received pictures and texts to update me on what Emma had done for the day. Thank you so much Michelle! We will definitely be having you come back!”

“Allison was so sweet and did everything that our cat needed. Our cat has special needs and Allison was great about making sure she received the medicine and special food that she needed. Would highly recommend!”


About: I had a dog and cat growing up, also I was a dog groomer, I worked with all type of breeds. I’m also very reliable. I’m free on weekends and holidays.

I will also take care of the pet like it was my on, making so I handle my clients needs.

About: I've had dogs since I was a child and always got along with new friends. I would love the opportunity to help out some fur babies in need! Currently a student at Nova studying IT, I'd love to use my free time taking care of and making memories with some silly little critters! I'm always respectful of people's property when doing home visits, and my house has plenty of room for any dog to feel comfortable and free.
