Pet care experience
I am the dog mom of a very friendly, social french bulldog named Chip who loves new friends! My dog is very much a "beta" and prefers play over being territorial. My husband and I raised Chip in our apartment building for the past two years and have enjoyed being a part of the dog-owning community. Our building is very pet friendly and can cater to dogs that are very social, and dogs that prefer to be alone. I am very happy to dog walk anywhere in the Alexandria/Carlyle area. There are many dog walking routes in the immediate area that lead into and away from Alexandria. There is even a nice waterfront trail in Old Town that is dog friendly. Depending on your dogs needs, I walk into more crowded, public areas or away from them. In my immediate neighborhood (approximately a 5 minute walk), there is an off-leash gated dog park across street that most dog-owning neighbors in the community use. Additionally, the African American Heritage Park is directly across from our building and it has a small loop trail around a creek. My husband and I look forward to meeting you and your pup!
Reviews
In the year that I've known them, Dana and Sam have been absolutely wonderful with my golden retriever pup! Being dog owners themselves, Dana and Sam are great with dogs, super responsible and always dependable. I can always trust that Duke is being taken extra care of and getting lots of belly rubs on his walks and playdates!
Dana was great! My puppy was super comfortable with her and I felt she cared about him as if he was her own. Chester gets the exercise and attention he needs while my wife and I are away. Thanks Dana!
Dana is great. I've only ever had my dog Freyja stay with her once, but she definitely made my dog feel at home. She's always friendly with my dog and also with me. Dana is very conveniently located near me, so it's never a hassle to have Freyja stay with her. Also, Dana is extremely friendly, even when I don't have my dog with me. She's close enough that we will bump into each other occasionally, and she is always just as friendly with me as she is to my dog. One thing I like about Dana compared to others: I don't often need someone to take care of my dog, usually only in emergencies or if I have some spare time and want Freyja to play with other dogs. She's totally understanding, and doesn't always ask if I need someone to watch Freyja like some others will do. But when I do reach out, she's always got availability, is excited to see Freyja, and goes out of her way to make life a little easier for me. When she does watch her, though, she's got all sorts of toys for Freyja to play with. She's also super responsive to dogs needs. The first time I had Freyja over, Dana was kind of expecting her to play with her dog chip, or toys, but Freyja was just kind of standoff-ish and did her own thing. Dana was totally understanding and went out of her way to give Freyja human affection instead. I appreciate her willingness to be flexible to my dogs needs.
