Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Karen is amazing, flexible, and communicated throughout the dogsitting. She's great!
Athena had a great time staying with Karen while we were away! Karen was great with communication and sent lots of photos. When our flight had issues with delays she worked with us to extend Athena's stay. I definitely would recommend Karen as a great pet sitter!
Karen was great! Our dog Chai loved her and was so excited to come back the second day!
Karen was amazing. It was Ember's first time staying with anybody, and Karen made sure that Ember felt safe and comfortable. She sent pictures and updates to make sure I was comfortable too. :-).
Karen is the best as always, so communicative, wonderful and flexible. We always feel so good about leaving our dog with her.
Karen was a gracious and attentive caregiver for our Westie for an eleven-day stay. Karen is obviously very experienced with dogs, and we would happily entrust her with our Katie in the future and heartily recommend her to others.

Schedule
I am planning for an early retirement with the Dept of State. I live in a modern condo, located in Old Town, Alexandria. I am available for doggie daycare and boarding in my home, Monday - Sunday. I have lots of green space right outside my door and a park across the street. We will take neighborhood strolls, and hit the dog park. I will provide treats throughout the day and evening - providing photos along the way. I have blankets, doggie beds, games, toys and a crate, if needed. I will do my best to follow current habits you have established in your home for consistency.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I do not have any pets at home. Tender care and safety are my number one concern. I will only board 2 dogs at a time, the only possible exception would be d/o & p/u overlap. I have lots of green space right outside my door and a park across the street, perfect for free play! Also will provide a discount for long term boarding, (1 month or more).
A typical day
Will take your pet to the dog park, go for neighborhood walks every 2- 4 hours, enjoying exercise and great sniffs!! I will keep your dog safe and happy, with plenty of love and tons of tummy rubs!
