Lindsey is amazing and was a life saver for our entire family! Our dog does not do well out of her element and we had to go away for 4 days. Lindsey, sent pics, videos, cute messages, and reassuring notes for us that made us feel at ease. And, most importantly, Hershee was happy!

Brianna treated my dogs like they were her own. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation with no worries. In fact, I think the dogs were a little disappointed when she left and I came home.

About: I’ve taken care of pets owned by family and friends for over 10years. Specially experienced taking care of senior dogs and cats (meds, special diet) I’m the person who says hi to any dog walking on the street. I took a training course to help anxious dogs. Be sure I’ll take care of your pet as of my own and will send you many pics. Fresh water bowls, refresh litter boxes, food, plays, treats, you name it. I’m near old town Alexandria and while I navigate a career transition (ex federal contractor), I’ll be very happy to take care of your furry babies. I can do overnight stays, or walk them through the day. I love walking and I’ll be happy to take your pup for a walk, play with them, treats, and praise them. I don’t sit on my place as I have a beautiful 13yo cocker spaniel. If you could see my dog, you would know that I’m an animal lover. I have a 13yo cocker spaniel and I know how important is to have someone that takes good care of our pets. I don’t do overnight on my place or bring my dog with me when taking care of another pet. I’ll always walk your dog with a leash, pay attention they don’t eat something they shouldn’t eat on the street, give them their meds, fresh bowl of water, play, praise them for being good pets. I’ll send you photos of your pet to keep you updated.

Nicole was absolutely fantastic with our St. Bernard, Layla. Because Layla is so large, we’re always a bit nervous about who can confidently handle her—but Nicole immediately put us at ease. She was calm, capable, and incredibly playful and loving with Layla from the start. Nicole was also very communicative and proactive throughout, keeping us updated and sent us photos. We would highly recommend Nicole and will absolutely be working with her again!

She also took great care of the house while staying. She was communicative whenever she had questions. We will absolutely be booking with her again next time we need a dog sitter.

I cannot recommend Zhanna highly enough! She took exceptional care of Bella, my 15.5-year-old corgi. She went above and beyond to ensure Bella felt safe, happy, and loved. Her kindness and attention to detail were evident from the moment we met, and it is clear that she genuinely cares about her job. Bella’s unique needs were met with the utmost care, and I appreciated how Zhanna was thorough in following instructions. She also communicated well, giving me peace of mind while staying at my place because she sent daily pictures of my corgi. I would 100% use Zhanna again, so if you're looking for a pet sitter, especially one who will stay overnight with your fur baby, I wholeheartedly recommend Zhanna!!!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life ranging from our own family dogs (up to 5 at one point). To training hound puppies for a local fox hunting kennel. I have experience with dogs ranging from 2-4 lbs up to 75-100lbs! I’m currently WFH so my hours are flexible. Anything around lunch time or early in the morning is the best for me but with heads up I can make time. I have dog sat for close friends at their apartment only as mine does not pets. I have been able to follow specific instructions on feeding and attention as well as walking dogs that aren’t overly friendly!

About: I learn quick and fast. I’ve had dogs my whole life and couldn’t live without them. I make sure they have what they need and will go out of my way to make sure they’re safe and happy! I go to Penn State for school. I’m home for summer and I’m free throughout my break. I love pet sitting and meeting all animals! I’m good at cleaning and making sure your home is tidy. If there any damages, I’ll do whatever I can do to fix them. My priority is to make sure your pet is happy and safe.

This is the second time Ahmed has stayed with Bella. Ahmed went above and beyond in making sure Bella was taken care of while we were away. He made a trip to our house before the stay to make sure he understood her medicine and feeding routine. He was very communicative and made me feel very comfortable while I was away. Also there was a problem with many of the smoke alarms in the house and Ahmed went the extra mile to take the units down to stop them from making the alarm. I couldn’t recommend Robin and Ahmed more highly. Kind and good people.
