Pet care experience

We are a big hearted family.

Hello, my name is Alli. . My family and I can't wait to have your pup in our home as an honorary member. My husband, sons, and I all have huge hearts for dogs of all breeds! We will need to do a meet and greet for first time stays. We had our late dog, Duke, for 6 years and he was a certified therapy dog. Our sweet Porter passed as well and now Otto -a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has joined our family. Currently, I work from home during the week so I can provide lots of care and specialized attention for your dog while you are away. My goal is to provide a safe and loving family environment that local dog owners in my community can trust when they are in need. Our home offers plenty of great amenities for your pup too: a fenced-in yard, rooftop deck, and an enclosed patio. We have lots of experience pet-sitting for friends and neighbors. I do have experience caring for other types of animals and I love them dearly, but I'm definitely a dog person through and through. There are plenty of places that George and Porter loves to go around our home, the National Mall, Eastern Market, and the River Walk Trail are all within close proximity to our home.

Derby had an amazing time with Alli. Her space was perfect for dogs. A safe an friendly environment away from home is what everyone wants for their pet when they go out of town. Communicating with Alli was easy. We received picture updates and knew Derby was in good hands.

Alli is absolutely the best. She’s watched our dog several times and he loves her and her family. She’s easy to communicate with and we’ll definitely use her again. 10/10

Alli took incredible care of Brixton! From her intentionality with the meet and greet to make sure pups have a chance to get acclimated to where they’ll be staying, to the pictures and updates she sends consistently during her time caring for your dog, it’s obvious she takes seriously the comfort and happiness of your pet! Alli’s home boats a lovely fenced front yard where Brixton could enjoy sunbathing and hanging with their family dog Otto, and a great neighborhood where I received pics of Brixton loving his daily walks. It was great knowing Brixton got to be with Alli’s family as he got lots of love and pets from her husband and kiddos! Peace of mind when you’re out of town that your dog is in good hands is paramount— with Alli as your sitter you can be sure to have that!

We have a family environment, so we would be sure to ask: - How is your dog around other dogs? - Have they had experience/interacted with kids before? - Is this the first time they have been away from you? - Do they have any special quirks or traits we should be aware of? We want to make sure that we cater to each and every dog we have in our home. Knowing as much as possible about them will help us make sure they feel safe and comfortable in our home.
