Highlights
Pet care experience
Very active and caring mom
Since I was little, dogs have always been part of my life. They’ve been with me through moves, college years, and even rescue adventures—and one very good girl even played matchmaker and helped me meet my husband. I know how hard it can be to be away from your pet, and how much anxiety it can cause for both dogs and their humans. That’s why I love sending frequent photo and video updates, so you always know your pup is happy, safe, and having a great time. I care for every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while their family is away.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Nalelli and Alvaro were amazing and took such great care of our Remi! They were very caring, went the extra mile every chance they could get and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed while we travelled, sending us lots of pictures and status updates on how Remi was doing. Highly highly recommend!
Nalleli and her family welcomed my baby girl Sinder like one of the family! It gave me the peace of mind during my travels and I would definitely recommend trusting her with your fur babies! I got many photos and updates and she was super happy and loved! Thank you Nalleli!
She was attentive and thorough with her care. Lots of updates and Rosie seemed like she enjoyed her time.
Nalleli took care of my cat on short notice while I was away on business. They sent lots of photos and were able to get my shy cat comfortable. I will absolutely be using them again.
Nalleli & Alvaro took good care of Julie and gave her food and meds on time. We are very happy with Julie’s stay.
Nalleli and her family showed our dog mych live and attention while we were away! She took him on many adventures, gave him special healthy treats, and lots of cuddles!

Schedule
I’m a teacher, so I’m home early on weekdays and fully available on weekends. There is always someone at home, which means your dog will never be left alone for long periods. I also have very active kids (teenager) who love pets and happily provide extra snuggles and attention to the dogs we babysit. I’m a runner and know many great, safe trails around Reston and Herndon, perfect for walks and exercise. We also live near the Town Center, so there are plenty of fun, dog-friendly places for your pup to explore. Your dog will get a great mix of activity, companionship, and love while staying with us.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I’m very active and physically strong, which allows me to safely walk and handle dogs of different sizes in our area. We have access to many beautiful trails nearby, perfect for safe and enriching walks. By default, we take dogs on three walks per day, but if your dog needs more frequent potty breaks or extra exercise, we’re more than happy to accommodate their routine. My husband is also home and helps with walks and care, so your dog will always have multiple attentive adults making sure they’re safe, loved, and well cared for. I live in an apartment surrounded by green spaces in a very pet-friendly neighborhood. Inside our home, there’s a cozy bed by a window with lots of activity—my dog Layla’s favorite spot to keep an eye on the neighborhood—and many dogs enjoy relaxing there too. Your dog will be in a calm, secure, and loving environment where they can truly feel at home.

A typical day
We’re early birds—our day usually starts around 5:00 a.m. We go for the first walk around 7:00 a.m., followed by breakfast. We make sure dogs get at least three walks a day. Let us know what your dog’s daily routine looks like, and we’ll happily adjust to avoid any abrupt changes to his or her schedule. 🐾 We have many toys and puzzle toys to keep their mind entertained. We also understand that some senior dogs prefer calm, relaxed spaces. Our 10-year-old dog, Layla, is very respectful of other dogs’ moods and personal space.
