Cat Sitting in Wells Corner

“Rita is absolutely amazing. We've had some trouble in the past with Charlie the escape artist, but Rita gently kept him inside despite his protestations. Maggie our shy baby even came out of her shell for pets. As if that wasn't already enough, Rita also took the time to care of our local ferals who hang out on our porch. I cannot express enough how valuable we are for this peace of mind, while on tour.”

“Sandra has taken care of my pets several times while I was out of town and I have never had to worry about the level of care my pets were getting while I was away. I always feel so confident that my animals are in wonderful hands and they seem to really enjoy seeing her too! Thank you so much Sandra!”

About: Since I was young, I've been very drawn to caring for pets of all nature and have a very deep connection with dogs. From my experiences with having 2 dogs of my own to being the best aunt to my sisters’ poodles, I know that a dog really is a human's best friend. I'd love the opportunity to help others care for their best friends too! Currently, I have reduced my hours at my hospital job to an average of around 20 hours a week, thus have a lot more flexibility in my schedule and can change my work availability as needed. For the remainder of the summer, I am preparing myself to start graduate school in the fall, when I will be enrolled at GWU and living in Alexandria. As such, I am available to take on any and all services necessary to offer help in any way that I can! Though I would not be looking to house any pets in my home, I do prefer fenced yards for client's homes so that outside play can ensure safety for the pet as while as myself. If this is not feasible, I will gladly resort to playing inside (with permission from the owners), as well as traditional dog sitting indoors and frequent neighborhood walks.

“Thanks Phoenix. Reliable, got the job done well and a caring person to trust with my cat visits. I appreciate you watching my kitty kid and will be in contact again for your great services ASAP.”

“Bri did a great job with the two cats. She followed instructions and was communicative about how they were doing. I will definitely use her services again.”

“Tatiana is amazing with our dogs. She has taken the time to understand each of their needs (one of which is extremely shy and takes a long time to warm up). The dogs love her and look forward to her weekly visit.”

About: As a passionate pet owner, I understand the joy and responsibility of keeping your dog happy, healthy, and active. With a love for all breeds and a commitment to personalized care, I offer dog walking services that go beyond just a quick stroll. Whether it’s a lively adventure or a calm, scenic walk, I treat your furry friend like my own—ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. Let me help give your dog the best walk of their day! I work from home and have a car. I’m open to early morning walks and evenings. I can also provide support during most weekends and holidays. One pet has a special diet and since I have 3 in total, they all eat the same. That way I know whether any issues are truly with one pet or there is another issue with the environment or food.

About: I have grown up caring for pets my whole life. I had several cats as well as dogs as a child and I learned from a young age to both respect and engage these animals as part of our family in a gentle and loving manner. I believe that taking the time to allow an animal get to know you and accept your energy and presence is most important for quality care. Taking the time to do this allows me to get to know each animal and get a sense of their personality and needs. I have quick reflexes and I am a very active person, so not only will I keep your pet safe, but I will also ensure that they are well-exercised and happy during their outing.

About: Here’s a little background of my experience! : So this is the time around where i’m almost done with school and getting ready for college. So my parents bought a dog with no experience. They know I’ve always loved animals or any kind of pet so they offered to pay me if I trained him over the summer while they work/travel. I didn’t need the money because I knew I would do anything for Luca (the dog). So that whole summer I stayed home studying what he likes or doesn’t like, I did research and taught him basic training, and I loved and cared for Luca with all my heart! I would love the opportunity to love and take care of your dog the same way anytime !! I can do mornings (9am if earlier lmk) on Monday, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Then anytime 12-7 on Wednesdays and Fridays. For weekends text for availability! I can also do last minute request just communicate! I wake up every morning at 9am because that’s when my dog Luca starts to wake up. Then i immediately go outside with him to let him do his business and while he’s outside i’ll prepare his food (I can watch him playing in front out the window). Every times he come back from outside he likes to eat a piece of ice lol. after he eats i let him rest before we go play. The rest of the day is cuddles, naps together, playing outside, and 10 mins of training everyday. I would do this every for the whole summer and have had the greatest opportunity to watch Luca grow up.

“Had Sheri watch my cats, she was great with communication and open to a meet a greet prior. Would book again, thanks Sheri!”

About: I have over 10 years experience working with animals. I’ve worked in a shelter, kennel, grooming and boarding experience so I’ve been around it all. I was even a manager for 2 years at a shelter working with rescues trying to get them new loving homes. I know how to medicate, train and fed any animal that comes my way, whether that’s dogs or cats or even an occasional horse. I do my absolute best to make all animals, big or small, shy or outgoing, feel comfortable around me. Whether it’s in the house relaxing or outside running around your animal will be happy and carefree. I will always do my best to make your pet feel loved and safe, just like if they were with you. I am completely open in my schedule so I am available at a drop of a hat for you! Same day bookings are always welcomed! I have two very friendly dogs of my own who treat any dog that comes in the door as a new sibling. I have a large park/nature area in my neighborhood where I often take clients to walk and smell all the smells. At the clients home I will do whatever is necessary to not throw anything off. Walks, cuddles and belly rubs.

“I left a lot of instructions because I have 3 cats and Alexandria completed them all! I also appreciated the details like how she rinsed out their food container and scrambled the lockbox code--would recommend!”

About: Reliable and attentive pet sitter with proven experience providing comfort and care to both dogs and cats. I have been the proud fur mama to my own puff balls: Ghost, a male Cane Corso (May 2020 – April 2025, crossed the rainbow bridge), and Gumbo, a male domestic shorthair tabby cat, currently 7 months old (adopted at 2 months). I have the patience and adaptability to care for all temperaments, including shy, stubborn, anxious, skittish, high-energy, and aggressive pets. My priority is to tailor my care style to meet your pet's needs, ensuring the most enjoyable stay possible and putting both you and your pet at ease. I am willing to facilitate any training or routines you want to maintain for your pet while you’re away, administer medicine, and provide light grooming (hair detangling/combing, baths, teeth brushing, etc.) for an added fee. My cat is free-roaming and very friendly, but I can provide isolated areas for your cat(s) and mine if needed. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies, whether they stay with me or I drop in for some fun fur auntie time! Pet care is a normal part of the routine, recent long time dog owner (5 years, passed rainbow bridge 04/2025). I work from home 2 days a week and typically home on weekends. Was owner to an adult mastiff/cane corso and so, regular walks, attention, and play are a part of my daily and weekly routine. I have stubborn pup who scales the spectrum between very obedient to going full on sas and temper tantrum, so I am comfortable with all types of temperaments of dogs. If you allow joint play, I will allow it supervised by myself, or if your pup prefers 1:1 time - I will divide crate and play time between my dog and yours separately. Large dogs - will alternate with my dog having one be crated at night and throughout the day outside of scheduled play time, walks, and potty breaks to allow less frustration across both for freedom.and saftey, but I can accommodate dogs who are not crate trained and crate my pup if needed - his crate is like his tiny house - he enjoys it. Small dogs, unless otherwise requested, will take priority for free reign throughout the day/uncrated. I live in a quiet neighborhood, much traffic, and it has quiet short walking trails with trees; I have a small fenced back yard as well for roaming. I do not board rottweilers, huskies, malamutes, or male pit bulls due to my dog's disposition of them, but can do check-ins and 1:1 dog walks with these breeds.

“Phoebe was awesome she took such great care of our girl while we were away. Highly recommend and will use her again when needed”
