About: Since childhood, I've been trusted to look after other people's pets. I grew up with dogs of my own, as well as animals of all kinds, so I have a lot of experience with pets of all personalities and temperaments. I also worked with a vet for three years, have a biology degree with an emphasis on animal science, and have a special needs pet myself, so I'm confident giving medications, maintaining any recovery care, or whatever else your dog may need. I'd love to be friends with your pup! I am self-employed and currently work from home most of the week, so I have some flexibility when it comes to scheduling! I am available for drop-in visits or walks Monday-Friday. As all of my services will take place in the client's home, I will follow any instructions that the client gives me in regards to pet care. It is my goal that your pet's routine is as uninterrupted as possible.
“Hannah was super great, very accommodating with schedules and times. The dogs loved her right away and felt very comfortable with her. Overall, a very easy and stress free experience!”
“Wow, I cannot say enough great things about Linda. she was incredibly responsive and informative. She was punctual and sent lots and lots of pictures while she was there! Linda truly made this process so easy, it can definitely be worrisome to leave your pets in the hands of someone else, but Linda took all of those worries away. I hope we are able to utilize Linda’s services again in the future, she is extremely trustworthy!”
About: Since I was young, I've been very drawn to caring for pets of all nature and have a very deep connection with dogs. From my experiences with having 2 dogs of my own to being the best aunt to my sisters’ poodles, I know that a dog really is a human's best friend. I'd love the opportunity to help others care for their best friends too! Currently, I have reduced my hours at my hospital job to an average of around 20 hours a week, thus have a lot more flexibility in my schedule and can change my work availability as needed. For the remainder of the summer, I am preparing myself to start graduate school in the fall, when I will be enrolled at GWU and living in Alexandria. As such, I am available to take on any and all services necessary to offer help in any way that I can! Though I would not be looking to house any pets in my home, I do prefer fenced yards for client's homes so that outside play can ensure safety for the pet as while as myself. If this is not feasible, I will gladly resort to playing inside (with permission from the owners), as well as traditional dog sitting indoors and frequent neighborhood walks.
“Thanks Phoenix. Reliable, got the job done well and a caring person to trust with my cat visits. I appreciate you watching my kitty kid and will be in contact again for your great services ASAP.”
“Bri did a great job with the two cats. She followed instructions and was communicative about how they were doing. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Wenda is an awesome pet sitter! She checked in on our cat on the days we scheduled, sent messages & pictures/ videos. Wenda was very thoughtful & brought in our mail for us. We will definitely ask her to pet sit again and refer her. Thanks Wenda!”
“Kim did a great job with the cats! She was so kind and honest. I trusted her to take care of my fur babies. I have already recommended to neighbors! Thanks Kim!”
“Repeat customer! Hannah always checks all of our boxes for a car sitter :) she’s very diligent with our kitties and we will continue to use her services every time we go out of town!”
“Randi was wonderful!!! If she is available I will be re hire. I have used Rover in the past and she is the first I will re hire for future pet sitting needs. Thank You Randi for taking such great care of my babies.”
“Jessica was very responsible and extremely caring and hands-on with our senior cat (and hamster too). She did several check-ins a day and spent many overnights which requires a high level of trust and Jessica went above and beyond. She communicated constantly with updates, pictures and videos (seriously, top-notch communication) and she left our home in perfect condition. Our animals took right to her and I am grateful to have found someone so kind and committed.”
