About: I have over 100 hours of volunteer experience at the Middleburg Humane Foundation, where I spent countless hours walking, feeding, and socializing a wide range of breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs. I also received certification to walk dogs of different temperaments and sizes. In addition, I have over 6 years of experience in dog sitting and walking for my neighbors. I have a genuine love for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Whether they are lazy lap dogs or playful and energetic, I guarantee great care. As a recent college graduate, I have an open schedule ready to fit in with your schedule. I am available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight! I guarantee proper clean-up and disposal during walks, and I ensure to keep your home neat and tidy. When messes occur, I am quick to clean and leave the area better than I found it. With over 6 years of experience in dog sitting and walking for my neighbors, I have a perfect track record of keeping their homes cleaner than I found them and making sure any messes have been taken care of.

About: I love animals and have volunteered at Middleburg Humane Shelter and fostered for them for the past 5 years. My favorite types of dogs are larger working dogs, but the smaller pups require a more delicate skill set that I'm thrilled to provide. I have experience with dog training and am able to be as strict or lax with your pets as you'd prefer. I have open availability for pet care, especially when approached with a job further in advance. That being said, I do keep pretty regular hours and have plenty of time so I love my last minute clients too! I have two cats and a German Shepherd mix! I have experience with dogs, cats, smaller mammals, and horses! My sister and I do some agility work with the pup, and I love to take my cats on day trips with me- they both walk on a leash! I'm happy to send you all the pictures in the world of your animals while I'm with them, report to you the exact mileage of walks, and love to snuggle on the couch with them if I'm house-sitting. I don't mind if you have cameras in your house to watch your pets; I just appreciate being told in advance.

About: I have been house and pet sitting since I was in high school. Friends, family, and neighbors are always asking if I can care for their animals and homes! I used to shadow a family friend who had a pet sitting business and I loved tagging along! I work full time as a teacher, but I get off at 2:35 so my weekdays have free afternoons and evenings. Weekends are completely free and I’ll be able to care for your pets any time of day. I can easily commute to your home to care for your pet. I don’t mind transporting your pets if needed. I will take great care and consideration when entering your home and ensure safety, fun and love for your pets!

About: I have taken care of animals all my life. For the last 3 years I have worked professionally as a pet sitter. My services include, feeding, walking/exercising, administering medications (orally and subcutaneously), and entertaining. I have worked with dogs of all sizes, cats, birds, chickens, rabbits, frogs, turtles, snakes, and pet rodents. I am available Monday through Friday from 8AM to 5PM. I can work weekends and after hours (before 8AM or after 5PM) on a case-by-case basis. My care plan for your pet will be based exclusively on your expectations. I am happy to schedule an in-person Meet & Greet, where we can go over your pet's routine in detail.

“Alexandra is friendly and knowledgeable about dog walking/care and was flexible in taking care of Winston on short notice. Alexandra was timely in her visits, provided full details on her visit including photos. We would recommend Alexandra to others and will use Alexandra in the future. Thanks Alexandra.”

About: I love all animals and I try my hardest to make sure they’re their happiest. I have grown up around farm animals and do believe I’m more than qualified to take care of pups all sizes and ages! See availability below- taking care of animals is natural to me and I am dependent and responsible. I make sure every pet gets proper time and care whether It’s drop in’s, walks, feedings, or a stay! I focus on maintaining their familiar routines. I follow any instructions provided by the owner carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I provide any update to the owners and ensure your space is respected while providing attentive companionship.

About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up my family has always had a least 2 pets, even having 15 at one point. My love for animals has run deep in me since I was a child, which is why I am currently a pre veterinary student at the College of William and Mary. I have experience training puppies including potty training, assisting senior pets, and providing a full and fun life for all animals. I have previously worked at multiple equestrian training facilities and farms, so I understand how to handle larger animals. I am versed in problem solving and strive to make all pets feel safe and happy. I am currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule to care for your animals. I care for my pets on a daily basis so I am always improving my skills and knowledge about the best care practices. I understand every pet and home is different so I try to cater the care to each client, however there are a few things that will always stay the same. First I always ensure I understand the pets feeding and bathroom schedule. This is vital to ensure the happiness and health of all pets. Second I try to make your pet as comfortable with me as possible. Sometimes new people can be scary, so I would allow your pet to make the first move and establish their level of comfort. I find this creates a level of trust and care between me and your pet. Third I follow any specific instructions given by you, the owner. The families always know their pets best, so following their directions helps ensure your pets safety and comfort.

“Dayna is awesome. The boys love her. I will definitely use her again as we need sitters every so often. So happy to have found her!!”

About: Nice to meet you! I’m a college student at JMU and have taken care of different animals all my life, and often get asked by family and friends to pet sit-caring from animals as small as hamsters to larger dogs like german shepherds. I am very used to walking large dogs, as I have grown up with german shepherds all my life, and I am very used to taking care of animals with disabilities or special dietary needs. For example, my childhood dog had a pancreatic disorder where I fed her a special diet and am accustomed to carefully following directions and making sure everyone is safe and healthy. I absolutely love cats as well, I have a cat named Moss who is very very spoiled and loved. I am a very clean and responsible person who can be trusted to watch over your loved one and home. 🩵I am offering discounted rates for clients looking for daily recurring dog walks. (For example: 1 walk a day five days a week, but can be more than 1 ofcourse depending on your needs) I understand the importance of dogs getting their daily exercise in and want to be helpful for someone who’s understandably on the fence about scheduling something that can be a costly service. Please feel free to message me about getting this set up if you’re interested, I want to help out anyone I can.🩵 Some things that will be firmly and vehemently followed in my care: -Doors will be verified locked every time I leave, I understand how important it is to keep the home secure and your pet safe. -Your pet will NOT be lost under my care (I have seen the horror stories as well and can’t even fully fathom how awful that would be to experience) -I will follow housekeeping tasks requested by the home owner -I will strictly follow both household and pet care guidelines instructed by the owner. Thank you so much for your time! 🩵 I am a college student home for the summer so I am very available, please don’t hesitate in reaching out so we can coordinate a schedule! :) I will care for the pets and home with the upmost amount of care and respect. Im very concerned about making sure the pet is comfortable and safe at all times, and keeping the home very clean. I understand how stressful it can be to trust someone to take care of your loved ones and home, and I want to reassure you that I am very responsible, attentive, and communicative throughout the entire process. I will follow any specific instructions you provide and am happy to give regular updates, whether that’s photos, messages, or calls, to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family, and your home will be left just as you found it. I'm here to make your time away as smooth and stress free as possible for both you and your pets. :)

I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, so I’m used to building my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get consistent attention and care. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet. Having grown up with pets, I understand how important routine, patience, and trust are. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding, medications, and exercise. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and secure, and I pay close attention to any changes in behavior to keep them happy and healthy.
