Professional and Affordable!!

Pet care experience

Local business since 2010. Please visit Tall Tails VA on Facebook for more references. I am happy to give busy dog parents relief during the week whether it is visits or walks. I also strive to give owners peace of mind on vacations knowing their pets are expertly cared for in a home environment without the stress of a kennel. Love, play and exercise are daily activities. 💕🐕 Rules ALL dogs must be well potty-trained. NO EXCEPTIONS. If your dog has accidents in your home, please do not bring them to mine. I DO NOT take new clients into my home without a meet and greet first. If you do not have a profile set up for your dog I likely will not reply. I am sorry to have to post this but I have been getting some very questionable requests lately. Large dogs must have good manners. No jumping, counter surfing, or severe leash reactivity/pulling. Unfortunately, I cannot care for hyperactive dogs or those that require a lot of exercise. I am able to walk for 2 to 3 short potty walks or a 1 to 2 mile hike/walk per day.

Excellent care once again for our attached senior dog. Alix provided regular updates and devoted care.

This was our first experience with Alix (aside from a meet and greet we had arranged a few weeks ago) and we were impressed with her professionalism and ability to make our dog Bella, who had never been away from our home overnight, comfortable. She kept us informed via texts, photos and videos, and we felt reassured that Bella was in good hands. We are going to book Alix again soon, and can definitely recommend her service! Thank you Alix, for looking after our girl - we think Bella definitely enjoyed being with you!

Excellent, attentive care given to my senior dog. This was his first time with Alix and he came home happy and content. Regular updates given throughout his stay. Thank you!

Alix was very responsive. She sent a lot of pictures and videos to keep me updated. I know that my dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Alix.
