I appreciate the daily updates and photos. I highly recommend Alexa to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and trustworthy dog sitter.”
“Samantha was truly amazing. It had been our first time away in many years, as we don’t like bringing our bulldogs to kennels. When Samantha came to meet our pets they loved her immediately, it was obvious her love for animals. She was always punctual, had great communication and sent pics to us daily. We were able to actually enjoy our cruise while knowing our animals were given the best care. Samantha, thank you so much for helping me and for being so awesome. I look forward to having you watch them again.”
About: In the past, my Aunt had 2 dogs that I absolutely loved taking care of. I would willingly bathe them, play with them, walk them, and even pick up their poop sometimes! I also really enjoyed practicing some training techniques that I was able to help her implement. Getting to know your dog and you are my top priority-your interactions can tell me everything I need to know! I have recently graduated High School, and am looking for a part time job that I love, and that is flexible so that I can continue moving forward starting my college career I find that caring for a pet in a familiar environment is extremely beneficial to your pets-it causes them less stress, and gives you peace of mind! It gives me the ability to keep them following their normal routines within their normal space, and still making sure that they are happy and safe.
“Carlie was awesome with my Vizsla puppy Zeus. She sent lots of pics, gave me clear updates on how he did, and was wonderful all around. Will definitely use her again!”
“Amber was great! She updated me on my 2 cats while I was out of town and they were perfectly taken care of. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I have many years of experience as a responsible animal owner who cares very deeply about helping them live their best life. I have had puppies through senior dogs and am reliable in helping your furry friend stay on their schedule as much as possible. After the first week of June 2024, I am available this summer during any day and/or night. Since I work in the school system, I have an open schedule during the summer time. I live in a low-traffic safe neighborhood. I will create a comfortable and safe space for your pet to stay while sticking to your pet's regular feeding and exercise routine as much as possible.
About: I am a grad student looking to help with dog sitting. My weekends are devoted to studying and exercising, the perfect combo for hanging out with dogs! My friends have always entrusted me with watching their dogs while they travel. I have tons of experience with dogs of all sizes from shih-tzu's to huskies! Currently, trying to convince my girlfriend to let us get a dog, but excited to make some new dog friends in the meantime! I have full availability on the weekends (Friday 2PM - Monday 7AM). My typical availability during the week is from 5PM-7AM. Outside of these hours I am attending classes. I am a student in the health care profession, so my first concern is always safety. Having lived with a husky for several years, I understand how difficult it can be to get a dog back inside after they have gotten out. I am always extremely careful making sure dogs do not get out of the house without a leash or the owner's permission in a gated area. I also pay very close attention whenever a dog is near other dogs, people, or acting out of the ordinary. I am always reachable by phone for pictures, check-ins, and FaceTimes. I do my best to follow every guideline set forth by the parents and to keep all dogs safe and happy.
About: My name is Christina, and I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. I will love on your pooch with everything I have. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. Current cat/dog mom, working from home full time so I am available to make sure your pet has what they need! I can even do pick up and drop off. For me, it’s their stay, their way! They lead me on their walks, so I allow them to safely do what they want, within reason of course. I might even bring them along for a walk request and make a new friend! Pet stores are a given. Any specific requests for them? Let me know! I allow them on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to. I always keep the water bowl full and pets happy and healthy. Allow me to meet you and lets play fetch! I do board only one family pack at a time. I’ll even give them a bath if you want! Just bring their shampoo if they have sensitive skin!
“Ellie is great! Highly recommended”
“Ali was great! She sent me updates and pictures of Owen during his stay. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Great first time experience with Sarah! Finn was happy and the house was neat! Sarah would respond quickly to messages and was very kind. Thank you Sarah! Would recommend 100%!”
About: I grew up with a dog for the majority of my childhood, and he was such a light in our lives! My fiancee and I are surrounded by dogs in our extended family, but do not have any of our own just yet. I am excited to offer my time and attention to a family who needs an extra hand. I am a full time nanny for an infant, and a student in an SLP Program. I am available for services before 8:15 and after 5:00 pm on weekdays, and full days on weekends if I don't have any prior obligations that I've committed to. We have a small yard that I can bring the dog leashed, and a walking friendly neighborhood in Newington. For the client's home, I am happy to oblige to the systems in place that work for you and your household!

Lailah C.
“Having the pleasure of being able to hang out with Lailah, she’s proven to me through her kind, diverse, accepting, and supportive, demeanors that being such a person while having their own struggles doesn’t have to feel like homework. I personally have grown by meeting Lailah, through her actions and words of advice I’ve grown as a person myself. With her recent successes that I’ve had the pleasures of being there for, like her award for awareness for her powerfully written article in societal issues translated into the student body and advocacy of wrong, growing, social norms for those who were oppressed by them; I feel that she is a no brainer. Speaking OF brains, with her explanations and brightness in knowledge of caretaking of her own beautiful cat (Cleo short for Cleopatra) and her seemingly endless amount and variety of plants, she’s taught me specifics and and general understandings, skills, techniques, etc on how to care for my own companions. My cat and I are more closer than ever. She undoubtedly an exponential mental experience and understanding in caring for animals through her own companions she used to have, animal and plant wise, and the one’s she has now, Cleo and plants. I’m remembering that she pet a bee once, in-front of me.. while I was freaking out about it.. while she was telling me how it’s okay to do so when you’re just not being a bad person to it. Excuse my probably Non-brief-ness about this! ButI really believe that Lailah is undoubtedly a responsible and loving pet caregiver and people person.”

“We highly recommend Judi for dog sitting and are repeat clients. We were away this week and I wasn’t concerned at all about how things were going at home! She takes great care of our animals and they love her. She’s trustworthy and punctual.”
Christopher S.
“Chris did a great job taking care of my 2 year old shih-tzu, Nellie, back in October who up until that point, only had been watched by my mom when we needed a sitter. I was a bit anxious because of that so I overloaded him with information but Chris took it all with stride. He was patient and sensitive to my dog warming up to him the night I dropped her off. His calm demeanor immediately put Nellie and myself at ease, and I knew everything would be great. Chris watched my dog for a couple of nights and sent me pictures and updates to assure me everything was going smoothly. I highly recommend Chris to anyone who is in need of a pet sitter!”

“My pets absolutely LOVE Christina! She is trustworthy, caring and we know we can always count on her to take great care of our 2 Australian Shepherds. They love her too!”
