Genuine TLC

Pet care experience

My name is Kay and I moved to Alexandria, VA May ‘19 for a job after living in the Triangle area (Raleigh, N.C) for about 2 years. Originally from Allentown, PA, I’ve lived, worked, and traveled all over the world. However, the only consistent root I’ve been able to plant is my genuine love and care for dogs. I was once a dog owner to a 22-pound, cocker spaniel/bichon poo mix after 16 years of pure bliss. Naturally, I haven't been able to move on, nor ready to fill the void; thus, after previously house and dog sitting for several years now, I considered this an option my heart could handle. Even though I'm a transplant to the area, I feel like having furry friends is a great way to enjoy the journey of life :) I love taking dogs on short and long walks, sometimes quick runs given the dogs stamina and build, playing fetch, and most importantly cuddling. I know how it feels to leave your most prized possession in someone else's care and the anxiousness that goes along with it, but I have lots of love to give and it's important to me that your dog receives the best experience possible.

Kay was FANTASTIC! Our dog Rue can be slow to warm up to new people, but within just a few minutes she was completely enamored with Kay. At the last minute Rue needed emergency abdominal surgery and we almost canceled our trip because it coincided with the recovery period. Thankfully Kay didn't bat an eyelash and we felt totally at ease letting her manage the second half of Rue's recovery. Everything worked out perfectly. She took excellent care of both Rue and our house while we were away and kept us fully up to date the whole time. We are already looking forward to booking her again and we know Rue will be thrilled to see her again!

Kay is an excellent sitter! She went above and beyond the call of duty. Kay clearly loves dogs, and I think KD misses her. We will definitely book Kay in the future. She is very good at her job and is simply the best.

I wish I could give Kay more than 5 stars! She went above and beyond to care for my dogs while I was traveling. It meant the world that I could be away from home and know that such a genuine and caring person was watching over my pups. Kay provided regular and detailed updates throughout the visit, along with photos of the dogs each day. I truly cannot recommend her enough!!
