Personalized care for your dog or cat - Alexandria

“Shelly was a true blessing! It's always hard to leave the fur babies especially in a new place but she eased my heart on the very first update she gave me and the regular updates after! Drake was having a blast. She was also very flexible with drop off and pick up times. I will definitely be using her services again!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for most of my life and currently have a senior dog of my own, so I understand how important patience, routine, and communication are when trusting someone with your pet. I work remotely during the day, which allows me to provide a calm environment with lots of supervision, potty breaks, and attention throughout the day. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including senior pets who may need a little extra care and patience. I know every pet has their own routine, and I’ll do my best to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable, responsive, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is in my care. I work remotely during the day, which allows me to provide flexible care, frequent potty breaks, supervision, and lots of attention throughout the day.

“I was so nervous to leave my baby girl, Ginger, with a stranger for a week. However, Jacob was great. His dog was so friendly and he and Ginger got along wonderfully. I got updates and pictures. Jacob always returned my messages when I was feeling worried or guilty. When we picked Ginger up, she was excited to get back home, but I could tell she missed Jacob and R. too. I hope I don't need a dog care provider in the future, but if I do, I will be messaging Jacob.”

About: Growing up, I’ve always had cats in my household, varying ages and personalities - from energetic kittens to older cats who need medicine and a little extra TLC, I loved them all! Since moving out for college, I’ve missed the companionship of cats more than I expected. Cat sitting your fur baby is a win-win.

“Gabby was great with my rabbits!! It’s nice to know I can leave them in her care while I’m away. Thank you! 😊”

About: My name is Diego and I have a 16 year old cat and am very attentive to their needs and have had experience with senior dogs as well. Looking forward to caring for your pets as I would my own. Open to accommodate for your pet's needs. Making sure my own cat is fed in a timely manner as they are older. Take the time to brush them frequently as they are a long hair and cleaning up after them as needed. I am unable to sit for pets where I live but am open to do drop in visits to care for your pets if needed.

About: Working professionally with dogs for over 11 years. I train, walk, care, and am able to handle dogs of all ages and many temperaments. I can come to your home or they can come to mine.

My schedule is wide open while I rebuild my business locally to offer quality, loving, and affordable pet care so people can have the best in life and not have to worry. I follow all owner direction regarding meals, walks, medication, and socialization. I like to walk every two to four hours for at least 30 min, and play one on one throughout the day.

“Coree was reliable, friendly and took great care of my cat, Flipper. I was gone for a week and she came in daily to care, feed and play. I will use her again and would recommend 👌 her to Ft. Madison, Iowa area residents.”

Sue L.

“Alicyn was great! My cat was happy, healthy, and enthusiastic when I returned from more than a month away. She sent me pictures and updates and my cat was clearly having a great experience. I came home to full food and water bowls and a thriving cat. All seems to have gone very well and Alicyn achieved everything I wanted her to. Highly recommended - an excellent cat sitter!”

“Shelley is a great sitter. She took great care of my dog, Coal. Coal was very happy and healthy when we picked her up. Shelley was great to work with. We had some travel issues and was very understanding and accommodating. I would definitely use Shelley again if we are ever in the area. She watched Coal while we were visiting some historical sites on vacation. It might be a while before we get back to Missouri. She gave us a hand drawn portrait of Coal when we picked her up. That was awesome.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I use to show them in 4H when I was younger. I’m a stay at home mom, so I can give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day! They’ll be able to run, have fun, be played with, and get lots of potty breaks! I am home all day, everyday! Therefore I am available to take them potty as much as they need, take them on walks, play with them. Whatever their needs are. I’m here for them! I have two big outdoor kennels for the nice weather days, but they are also welcome in our home. We have a tiny little rat terrier and then a boxer that love other dogs. They’re very friendly and playful. I can crate your dog, or put them in the outdoor big kennels that have coverage, or if they are good at free roaming indoors, they’re welcome to free roam the house.

“Pocus and I really enjoyed meeting this wonderful family. We will definitely be using their services again.”

About: My husband and I have taken care of dogs for over 50 years. We have a fenced in back yard, We prefer one or two dogs at time, as our house is smaller. We will not watch Beagles , as we have had so bad luck with them. Pets must come with their current dog tags. My husband and I are retired. We go camping every couple of weeks in the summer. We do not travel much, and would love to watch your dog. We have a fenced in backyard. Two back porches, and can either kennel your dog or let them roam our house. Would rather have dogs no bigger than 40 pounds as our house is small. Our male Aussie gets along with other dogs. I can bathe and brush your dog if needed.

About: I grew up in a family that rescued dogs from the shelter, and now I am continuing that and taking in dogs of my own! I have 3 amazing dogs who are full of energy and love making new friends! I’m a full time stay at home mom so my time is always available for my doggos (and my tiny humans lol). I am available around the clock, any day you would need. I am able to take dogs out as often as possible and we fit 2 good walks in per day (weather permitted)! We get constant play time, but also time to relax from a busy day. I can provide anything from boarding service to just walking your furry friend while you’re at work! In my care your dogs will be well taken care of, as if they were my own!

About: I truly care about animals well-being. A pet can be a wonderful addition to any home, but whether you're an experienced pet parent or a first-time adopter, it's important to keep your pet companion's health and happiness a top priority. I enjoy playing with them and showing them new things. If someone leaves their dog with me they can feel completely safe they are taken well care of. I will treat any person's dog the same as I would my own. I know what to look for if the dog does not feel well or needs extra attention. I have a very good sense of dogs needs such as when they are hungry or need to go outside. I look forward to hearing from you. I work from home, so I can be with the pet full-time. I enjoy meeting new pets and owners and ensuring they have nothing to worry about while I am sitting. I work from home, so I can be with the pet full-time.

She loves to be around people and other animals so much and would love to have other friends to play with as she has a lot of energy! We live in the third floor of my grandmas house where there is a lot of space, along with the big yard to run around in! Working from home/studying means there is always one of us home every day of the week! This means we’ll have so much time to love on your baby and give it all the walks, backyard time, belly rubs and attention they thrive! There is a big yard surrounding the house along with a wrap-around porch and plenty of hammock/chairs to hang out in. We’re both very active, so we would like to be able to take your doggy out for walks/runs with us!
