Will spoil your dog all weekend!

Pet care experience

I fostered a 6 month old pit bull puppy last year and it was one of the best experiences of my life! #dontbullymybreed I have experience dogsitting the past 2 years in college. I also grew up taking care of 3 dogs of different ages, sizes, and breeds. Sadly, I had to leave my pups at home in NC and so I need my doggo fix here in the Arlington/DC area! I have also volunteered at local animal shelters by taking dogs on walks and giving them the love and affection they deserve. I have experience crate training, potty training, and teaching other basic skills. I am available most weekends and evenings as I am a graduate student and have a part-time job. I am really excited to get to know the pups in the area and help out my neighbors!

Alicia was very responsive from the get-go and had a list of questions ready at our meet and greet which immediately set my mind at ease, showing that she is prepared and wants to know all there is about your dog so that she can provide the best care possible. I would definitely recommend Alicia and be making use of her services again!

Alicia and her roommate were great! They love dogs, are very flexible, and provide updates photos and videos of the visit. They basically run a bead and breakfast for dogs.

Alicia took great care of my dog Cooper when I took a weekend getaway! She was professional, sent pictures and checked in with me daily. Cooper was happy and well cared for! Definitely will use her services again and highly recommend her!

We cannot rate Alicia highly enough! She is a wonderful, loving sitter who cared for our beloved dog like family. She kept us updated on how Max was doing throughout his stay and genuinely seemed to enjoy her time with him. It’s such a relief knowing that your dog is being treated well when you are away. We are so grateful to Alicia for providing us with that peace of mind. Alicia is the first sitter we will contact when we plan our next trip. Many thanks!

A typical day

My two roommates and I are all dog-loving graduate students who miss our dogs back home and we LOVE having a furry friend on the weekends. Between the three of us, your dog will likely always have someone around to fawn over him/her and is sure to gets lots of energy out playing!
