“Micaela was wonderful! Reliable, gentle with the dogs. Communication is great! My dogs were calm when I got home. Will definitely use Micaela again when she is available!!”

“Jill did an exceptional job with our Ellie! She’s a great communicator & we can feel good about knowing our pup is in good hands. We love everything about having Jill taking care of Ellie either with home visits while we’re away or while Ellie stays at her home! It’s given us such a peace of mind. Thanks Jill & Rover!”

“Great communication. Brought treats for our cats (Checked with us first) Seemed sincerely affectionate and fond of our cats. Gave us daily updates beyond the pictures and duties performed. We felt very comfortable being away because we felt our girls were in really good hands.”

About: I’ve taken care of golden retrievers, pitbulls, boxers, lab, beagle, 2 fearful dogs, 3 legged cat, cats with asthma, mainecoons and my two cats…. I’m a recent college graduate offering reliable dog walking and cat/dog sitting as a flexible side hustle in Alexandria. I’ve loved these amazing, smart creatures since I was little. I’m a reliable, animal loving pet sitter in Alexandria who enjoys caring for dogs and cats. My dad was a K9 police trainer so I know how to deal with a dog. I have experience handling so many different breeds and personalities. I will provide daily walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, litter box scooping, and plenty of affection to keep your furry babies happy, while you’re away. message me to chat about your pets’ specific needs!
“Jocelyn was very attentive to our pug, Morty. We know that he can be stubborn sometimes and she showed him patience and was very understanding of his nature and accidents. My partner and I were on an international trip during our booking and her daily updates made us both feel relieved that Morty was being well taken care of. I felt that she showed him the same amount of compassion as if he were her own dog.”

About: Growing up on a farm, I took care of many animals from a young age- cats, dogs, horses, rabbits and chickens. As an adult, I have always had an animal and love taking care of friends and family's pets. I've taken care of puppies, kittens and senior dogs as well and can provide them all the love and attention they deserve I'm currently working part-time, and have time to play with your pups and cats! Whether it's an early morning walk, evening let out or taking care of your fur baby in your home while you're away- they'll be in good hands. I am happy to come to your home and care for your pet while you're away. I love taking walks so they can stretch those legs, feel comfortable crating animals if that's their routine and happily can play fetch with them in the backyard.
About: I’ve looked after family and neighbors’ dogs whenever they needed, and love spending time with all kinds of pups. Whether it’s going for walks, playing outside, or just hanging out and keeping them company, I always make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I treat every dog like my own and do my best to keep their tails wagging! I’m available after 3:00 pm anyday. But my school schedule varies through out the week Monday I could stop in between 10 and 12 if needed, Tuesdays available at 1:00 pm, Thursdays available at 11:00 am. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well taken care of. I always keep an eye on safety, making sure doors and gates are secure and that everything stays clean and calm. My goal is to make your pet feel happy and at ease while you’re away.
About: I have a huge passion for dogs! I grew with dogs and cats in my household since I have been a child. My parents always had a dog and cats in their household. Currently have I three dogs of my own. I have German Shepherd, English Springer Spaniel, and a Chihuahua/Rat terrier mixed that was rescued from California. I have rescued many dogs and cats to safe local shelters in the area. Then done plenty of babysitting dogs for family and friends! All I can say is I just love dogs! I’m huge cat lover as well! I have lots cat experience and I’m always rescuing cats to good homes as well! Rescued two cats as well! Love my kitties! I work part time currently and I do have time to take care of other pets in my situation. This is a passion of mine! Willing to work week days and weekends! I don’t have fenced in your yard at this time. Your pet will be leashed when taking potty breaks or walks outside. I do have crate provided for your pet when sitting. I prefer pet sitting your horse and dog walking in your area where your house is located.
About: I'm a teacher and an animal lover! I'm great at caring for others. 😄 We have two friendly cats and would love to host some dogs. I'm available most weekends and all summer. I'm available to board your pet most weekends! You can always reach out even if my schedule says not available. Those that have boarded with us love that their pet was clean, relaxed and well cared for. My kids love animals and your pet will be given a lot of attention. We have two cats that we love dearly.
