Pet Sitting in Pollock

About: For as long as I can remember , i’ve always had a pup/doggy growing up! There’s never a day that I was not around a dog! I’ve had a Golden Retriever , Pugs , Pit Bulls , Poodle , & others. What sets me apart from other sitters is that i’m very aware at all times & I make sure I tend to what they’re wanting no matter what it is . I’m a very communicative woman . I know they do understand what i'm saying . I do have experience in training !! I am available anytime , any day of the week ! I do not have anything that separates me from being able to care for your pup ! I take them out to potty every other hour or so , even if they don't have to use the restroom , it’ll be good for them to talk a walk . stretch their legs . get some fresh air . they will be fed according to their parents needs/wants! I can & will bathe them if needed !!

About: Hi! I’m a proud dog mom of 5+ years and totally understand how hard it can be to leave your pup with someone new. I’ve had my Italian Spitz since she was a tiny fluffball, so I’ve been through all the puppy stages that includes lots of zoomies, daily walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles 🥰 . Being hands-on from day one has taught me how important routines, patience, and giving each dog the attention they deserve really are. When your pup stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. My husband and I make sure every dog gets as many walks, potty breaks, and play sessions as they need, plus lots of one-on-one attention. I’m also big on updates, so you can expect frequent photos and messages showing your dog having a great time! My goal is for you to relax knowing your pup is happy, safe, and having fun 😌 I work from home during the week, which means I’m around most of the day to give pups the attention they need. I’m able to keep a close eye on them, stick to their routines, and make sure they get timely walks, potty breaks, and lots of check-ins throughout the day. I have a good-sized, fully fenced backyard where your pups can safely run around, play, and burn off energy. Also, if your dog is a couch or bed cuddler at home, they’re welcome to be one here too.

“So friendly and great communication, will book again!”

About: I’ve always loved all animals, and while I loved the cats we had growing up, every year for Christmas the only thing I asked for was a dog. And I was always told no. So, as early as 10 years old I started putting up posters in my neighborhood to start dog walking. I did walks, dog sitting, begged neighbors to let me come over just to play fetch with their dog, made yearly powerpoint presentations showcasing why I deserved to get a dog (which was always rejected), you name it. At 19 the wait was over and I got my first dog, Kodiak. And the wait was worth it. It taught me patience, understanding, overall training her was a labor of love but so worth it in the end. It taught me effective methods for safe walking practices, how to instill basic principles of discipline, and how to better understand body language on their part for their needs. Pet care mostly available weekday evenings, and most times on weekends Friday-Sunday. Early weekend morning jogs for the dogs is preferred! Or evening outings to get their energy out. We have an acre of property my dog roams on, if another dog were brought on I would keep them leashed during outdoor time as the front of the property is not fenced. We have multiple open areas inside that can allow for safe indoor play and can kennel your pup if you require it. If I am caring for a pet in the client’s home, I carry my own leash and treat supplies (generic or grain-free per preference) to ensure my and your dog’s safety. I have experience clicker training and carry one if the client has utilized it as a training tool in the past.

“Heather does a great job, always reliable and my pups are happy and healthy when I get home. Takes great pics too :)”

“I was in serious need of someone to care for my babies while I was out of state/country. Google sent me to Rover. I took the chance and signed up. I am SO glad that I did! I’m super picky about our menagerie, 2 dogs and 11 cats, but Jenny handled them wonderfully, even trouble shooting an electrical issue with our fans! One of my babies had an ear issue and Jenny took him to the vet for us! Highly recommend!!!”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take pride in providing patient, loving, and reliable care. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, refreshing water, and following specific care instructions such as schedules or basic medications if needed. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get regular walks or playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m attentive and present, and I enjoy building pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I have a fenced in backyard where we can run around and play together. I can give medications, give baths, do any special accommodations, etc.

About: I have always had my own animals, but I've only house/pet sitted for my aunt for about 1 year. I love animals and animals love me. I am off of work every other week and will be available on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday on my week off in the Alexandria and surrounding areas. I do not offer in home care. I am only looking to do dog walking, home visits as needed, running dogs to the groomer, vet appointments, or daycare drop off and pickups.

“Great care for our guys, gave us peace of mind on our vacation. Gave updates and pictures of visit, genuinely concerned with their well-being.”
