“I am so grateful for Marianne! I was in a bind and needed somewhere for my dog to stay while traveling through and desperately reached out to her at almost midnight the night before needing service and she was so wonderful to take my little pup for a few hours while I had some work meetings. JUNO was very happy to meet her and went right up to her when we pulled in the driveway. She took great care of Juno and had excellent and speedy communication. Highly recommend her and will be using her again next time I’m in the area!”

“Cheryl was fantastic! She was incredibly kind and patient with our two dogs. “Our boys” absolutely loved her, especially since she took the extra time to let them sniff to their hearts' delight during their walks.

About: Animals have always been the center of my world — not just pets, but family, healers, best friends, and some of life’s purest companions. Caring for animals isn’t something I simply do for work; it’s who I am at my core. Throughout my life, I’ve consistently chosen the love, loyalty, and connection of animals above everything else, and I truly believe they deserve to feel safe, adored, and understood every single day. I have hands-on experience working in doggy daycare and pet boarding environments, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. From playful puppies to anxious rescues and senior dogs needing extra patience and comfort, I’ve learned how to create calm, loving environments where animals feel secure and genuinely cared for. My experience includes supervising group play, feeding routines, maintaining safe and clean spaces, and understanding canine body language and behavior. I also have a background in dog training and believe deeply in patient, loving, positive reinforcement-based guidance. I understand that every animal communicates differently, and I take pride in building trust, confidence, and strong connections with the pets I work with. Whether reinforcing routines, practicing good leash manners, or helping anxious dogs feel more comfortable, I approach every animal with calm leadership, compassion, and respect. Alongside my pet care experience, I practice Reiki energy healing and naturally bring a calming, grounded energy into the environments I care for. Animals are incredibly intuitive, and I’ve found many pets respond beautifully to gentle, peaceful energy — especially those who are anxious, sensitive, elderly, or adjusting to new surroundings. My goal is always to create a space where animals feel emotionally safe, relaxed, and genuinely loved. What sets me apart is the heart I bring into every interaction. I’m deeply attentive, nurturing, intuitive, and naturally protective over the animals in my care. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, gentle reassurance, structured care, or simply someone to love them like their own family would, I’m fully committed to providing that. I understand how important trust is when leaving your beloved companion with someone else, and I promise to care for your pets with the same love, patience, and devotion I give my own. Nothing makes me happier than seeing tails wag, nervous pets relax, and animals feel truly at home. For me, this isn’t just pet care — it’s a calling rooted in love, compassion, healing, and a genuine zest for life and all living beings. Pet care is naturally woven into every part of my daily life because animals have always been my priority and passion. I currently care for 6 dogs, 8 cats, and 1 goat of my own, so my days are already built around structured feeding schedules, exercise, enrichment, grooming, cleaning, affection, and individualized attention for each animal’s unique personality and needs. My routine revolves around creating calm, loving, enriching environments where animals feel safe and understood. From morning walks and outdoor time to play sessions, training reinforcement, cuddle time, and evening wind-down routines, caring for animals is truly second nature to me. Because I live such an animal-centered lifestyle, adding client pets into my routine feels seamless, intentional, and joyful rather than stressful or inconvenient. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining a safe, calm, structured, and loving environment that keeps pets comfortable and emotionally secure. I pay close attention to each animal’s routine, energy level, temperament, dietary needs, and comfort preferences so they experience as little stress as possible while their owners are away. I believe consistency, patience, and communication are key. I maintain feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication routines if needed, exercise, enrichment, and plenty of affection and supervision. I also use my background in dog behavior, training, and Reiki energy healing to help animals feel relaxed, confident, and emotionally supported. I treat every animal as if they were my own family member and strive to create an atmosphere where pets feel safe, loved, mentally stimulated, and genuinely cared for.
About: Hi! I’m Madison, a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I grew up with several different breeds and I’m confident handling dogs with all kinds of personalities — from shy seniors to high-energy puppies. What makes me different? I’m comfortable administering medications and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. I also treat every dog like my own — with patience, joy, and tons of belly rubs. I believe walks should be safe, stimulating, and full of tail wags! Whether your pup needs a short potty break, a jog around the block, or just a new friend to hang out with, I’m here to help. Why Clients Love Me: • Always punctual and reliable • Updates with photos and fun notes after every walk • Flexible scheduling and last-minute availability • Training is also another option I like to throw out there With my job I’m also in Alexandria area often every week as well! Let’s get your dog’s tail wagging — I’d love to meet your furry friend/family member! I clean house’s, so my schedule is almost the same everyday unless clients need to move cleanings around. I’m typically off before 4pm everyday and some days earlier. I have an almost 3 year old dog that I’ve had since he was born. I had 2 litters of puppies so I’ve had experience in training 15 puppies! He is my pride and joy. He is very spoiled and loves to play ball. I would treat your dog as if it were my own. I have a huge heart & love to be around dogs of all sizes!
About: I’ve helped train dogs before and I'd love to assist in sharpening their skills. I love walks or staying at home! I enjoy all dog company! I currently have control and flexibility of creating my own schedule. So I’m technically working part-time but I can work full-time if I want to.

About: I have three dogs of my own, so caring for pets is a big part of my everyday life. I’m very comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels—from playful puppies to more relaxed or senior dogs. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like my own, paying close attention to their routines, behavior, and comfort. I’m patient, reliable, and good at picking up on small changes in a pet’s mood or needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or just giving them love and attention, I make sure each pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I have three dogs of my own. As an online student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m able to maintain consistent feeding, walking, and play schedules, and I’m home often to provide companionship and supervision. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for every pet in my care. In my home, I have a secure, fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, along with three friendly and playful dogs who enjoy socializing. I always introduce pets slowly to make sure everyone is comfortable. If needed, I can separate or crate my dogs or your pet to ensure a stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I respect their space and stick to their pet’s normal schedule to keep them comfortable and relaxed.
