About: I have been house and pet sitting since I was in high school. Friends, family, and neighbors are always asking if I can care for their animals and homes! I used to shadow a family friend who had a pet sitting business and I loved tagging along! I work full time as a teacher, but I get off at 2:35 so my weekdays have free afternoons and evenings. Weekends are completely free and I’ll be able to care for your pets any time of day. I can easily commute to your home to care for your pet. I don’t mind transporting your pets if needed. I will take great care and consideration when entering your home and ensure safety, fun and love for your pets!

“Alexandra is friendly and knowledgeable about dog walking/care and was flexible in taking care of Winston on short notice. Alexandra was timely in her visits, provided full details on her visit including photos. We would recommend Alexandra to others and will use Alexandra in the future. Thanks Alexandra.”

About: I love all animals and I try my hardest to make sure they’re their happiest. I have grown up around farm animals and do believe I’m more than qualified to take care of pups all sizes and ages! See availability below- taking care of animals is natural to me and I am dependent and responsible. I make sure every pet gets proper time and care whether It’s drop in’s, walks, feedings, or a stay! I focus on maintaining their familiar routines. I follow any instructions provided by the owner carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I provide any update to the owners and ensure your space is respected while providing attentive companionship.

About: I love animals and have volunteered at Middleburg Humane Shelter and fostered for them for the past 5 years. My favorite types of dogs are larger working dogs, but the smaller pups require a more delicate skill set that I'm thrilled to provide. I have experience with dog training and am able to be as strict or lax with your pets as you'd prefer. I have open availability for pet care, especially when approached with a job further in advance. That being said, I do keep pretty regular hours and have plenty of time so I love my last minute clients too! I have two cats and a German Shepherd mix! I have experience with dogs, cats, smaller mammals, and horses! My sister and I do some agility work with the pup, and I love to take my cats on day trips with me- they both walk on a leash! I'm happy to send you all the pictures in the world of your animals while I'm with them, report to you the exact mileage of walks, and love to snuggle on the couch with them if I'm house-sitting. I don't mind if you have cameras in your house to watch your pets; I just appreciate being told in advance.

About: I have grown up with large dogs my whole life and have experienced caring for high energy and high maintenance pets. Over the past four years, I have also cared for my family members’ pets while they were away, helping with feeding, walking, daily care and playtime. I love all dogs and animals and treat them as if they were my own. I am a college kid who is currently on summer break with very little plans. I have pretty much the whole day to care for your pups! I have a very big fenced in yard for lots of playing and running around. I also have a separate apartment off of my house your pup and I can stay in.

About: I’ve had 13 years of pet care experience, including walking, bathing, and grooming! We’re very interactive with the pets, with at least one family member home at all times. I am currently at a law firm in Fairfax. I will be home in the mornings and evenings every day, with flexible availability. I can come to you anywhere in the Warrenton/Marshall/Bealeton/Gainesville area. We have a fenced-in yard and crating available (if requested or necessary for your pet). We have a young Golden Retriever who loves to play and swim in the pool! If the pool will be an issue for your pup, we will avoid the backyard and stick to walks & the front yard!

“Leslie was great! We didn't end up needing her for very long, but she was always timely, friendly, communicative & sweet to our dog. I would use her again for sure.”

About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up my family has always had a least 2 pets, even having 15 at one point. My love for animals has run deep in me since I was a child, which is why I am currently a pre veterinary student at the College of William and Mary. I have experience training puppies including potty training, assisting senior pets, and providing a full and fun life for all animals. I have previously worked at multiple equestrian training facilities and farms, so I understand how to handle larger animals. I am versed in problem solving and strive to make all pets feel safe and happy. I am currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule to care for your animals. I care for my pets on a daily basis so I am always improving my skills and knowledge about the best care practices. I understand every pet and home is different so I try to cater the care to each client, however there are a few things that will always stay the same. First I always ensure I understand the pets feeding and bathroom schedule. This is vital to ensure the happiness and health of all pets. Second I try to make your pet as comfortable with me as possible. Sometimes new people can be scary, so I would allow your pet to make the first move and establish their level of comfort. I find this creates a level of trust and care between me and your pet. Third I follow any specific instructions given by you, the owner. The families always know their pets best, so following their directions helps ensure your pets safety and comfort.

“Ella was great at communicating and sent pictures. It was her first time walking my dog and he seemed very happy when I got home. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: I have over 100 hours of volunteer experience at the Middleburg Humane Foundation, where I spent countless hours walking, feeding, and socializing a wide range of breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs. I also received certification to walk dogs of different temperaments and sizes. In addition, I have over 6 years of experience in dog sitting and walking for my neighbors. I have a genuine love for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Whether they are lazy lap dogs or playful and energetic, I guarantee great care. As a recent college graduate, I have an open schedule ready to fit in with your schedule. I am available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight! I guarantee proper clean-up and disposal during walks, and I ensure to keep your home neat and tidy. When messes occur, I am quick to clean and leave the area better than I found it. With over 6 years of experience in dog sitting and walking for my neighbors, I have a perfect track record of keeping their homes cleaner than I found them and making sure any messes have been taken care of.

About: I have had all different types of animals since I was a kid. For the past several years I have spent time fostering cats and dogs as well as adopting my own dog, (who is blind), Willow! I currently have a work from home job that allows for a flexible schedule and availability that can fit the needs of you and your animals! They will be given attention throughout the day and walked as needed. I am home all day to monitor the animal(s) and I have toys, crates of different sizes and gates if they are ever needed. Local to several nature trails and dog parks as well as many dog-friendly establishments that I frequent in warmer weather!

“100% would recommend Christin to anyone! She is so professional and kind, the dogs love her. Such a sweet, responsible, courteous person., I cannot say enough good things about her!”

About: Nice to meet you! I’m a college student at JMU and have taken care of different animals all my life, and often get asked by family and friends to pet sit-caring from animals as small as hamsters to larger dogs like german shepherds. I am very used to walking large dogs, as I have grown up with german shepherds all my life, and I am very used to taking care of animals with disabilities or special dietary needs. For example, my childhood dog had a pancreatic disorder where I fed her a special diet and am accustomed to carefully following directions and making sure everyone is safe and healthy. I absolutely love cats as well, I have a cat named Moss who is very very spoiled and loved. I am a very clean and responsible person who can be trusted to watch over your loved one and home. 🩵I am offering discounted rates for clients looking for daily recurring dog walks. (For example: 1 walk a day five days a week, but can be more than 1 ofcourse depending on your needs) I understand the importance of dogs getting their daily exercise in and want to be helpful for someone who’s understandably on the fence about scheduling something that can be a costly service. Please feel free to message me about getting this set up if you’re interested, I want to help out anyone I can.🩵 Some things that will be firmly and vehemently followed in my care: -Doors will be verified locked every time I leave, I understand how important it is to keep the home secure and your pet safe. -Your pet will NOT be lost under my care (I have seen the horror stories as well and can’t even fully fathom how awful that would be to experience) -I will follow housekeeping tasks requested by the home owner -I will strictly follow both household and pet care guidelines instructed by the owner. Thank you so much for your time! 🩵 I am a college student home for the summer so I am very available, please don’t hesitate in reaching out so we can coordinate a schedule! :) I will care for the pets and home with the upmost amount of care and respect. Im very concerned about making sure the pet is comfortable and safe at all times, and keeping the home very clean. I understand how stressful it can be to trust someone to take care of your loved ones and home, and I want to reassure you that I am very responsible, attentive, and communicative throughout the entire process. I will follow any specific instructions you provide and am happy to give regular updates, whether that’s photos, messages, or calls, to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family, and your home will be left just as you found it. I'm here to make your time away as smooth and stress free as possible for both you and your pets. :)

“Courtney was great. Punctual and friendly. I would definitely use her again.”

About: I have loved dogs and pets for as long as I can remember! I have never gone longer than a few months without a dog in my life and don't think I ever will. I am a 6th grade teacher during the school year, but am looking to help families who do not have the luxury of summers off to create a fun, healthy, and loving experience for their pets during the work day. I have experience taking care of dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages: from puppies (8 weeks) to elderly (16 years). I have had Chihuahuas, terriers, English Bulldogs, labs, Bull Mastiffs, Shih Tzus, Dobermans and am currently a proud owner of a 3 year old Olde English Bulldog named Luna. I can promise you that with me, your pets will have one more person that loves and cares for them as much as you do! I am currently off for the summer, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I am available early mornings through early evenings for drop-ins or walks. I always like to do a meet and greet with every client and their pup(s) to ensure all needs will be met for the dog and owner. As I am coming to your home, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and feel safe entrusting me with the care of your pet!
