House Sitting • Mar 30, 2026

We are so grateful for Mary-Allyn! She helped us out last minute and was so accommodating with our travel times. She was so good with our dog Daisy— took her for plenty of long walks and spent a ton of time with her. Daisy loves Mary-Allyn! We also appreciated her great communication and pictures from each day. We look forward to her sitting our dog again!

Mary-Allyn was an excellent sitter for our two dogs! She was very communicative and sent us multiple updates daily. She is very reliable and during our vacation we never worried about the wellbeing of our dogs. We returned home to two happy, healthy dogs AND a clean house.

Mary Allyn has always shared a love and passion for pets. She’s extremely trustworthy and dependable. She helped care for my dog, Lucy. Lucy still gets excited every time Mary Allyn comes to visit. She loves spending time with animals and is very caring. Mary Allyn is a responsible person and makes sure all the needs of a pet and pet owner are met. She’s sweet natured and animals adore her. Any pet owner would be lucky to have Mary Allyn as a caregiver.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I have some flexibility throughout my weekdays because I am currently in grad school. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and while I'm away from mine, I would love to help care for yours!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I usually try to make three stop-ins throughout the day if I am providing extended services for someone! With requested walks or stop-ins, just contact me for more details on availability.

Pets

A typical day

I am in Old Town Alexandria, located on the waterfront right off a trail -- so I can do just about anything with your animals! We can go for walks, play fetch, eat pup cups, find a dog park, really just depends on the fur baby.
