I offer house sitting combined with dog sitting for various people in the Alexandria, VA area. I can gladly provide references upon request. Having a dog while I was in the Peace Corps was a great experience in knowing the needs of a dog. I can provide care to other animals, especially fish! I have a background in Fisheries Science and Aquaculture and have been keeping fish for the past 12 years. I also have a green thumb and can water plants while you're away! I have been growing plants (house plants, fruits, and vegetables) ever since I was a kid. Cats, both indoors and outdoors, are included as well. Currently a federal employee, so I've passed a rigorous background check. Let me know when you need my help and I'll reply within one day!
