House Sitting in Alexandria

Kathryn was amazing with Atlas. She kept me up to date and entertained a high energy dog throughout the stay. Any one searching for a reliable and terrific sitter for their pet she's the one. I will definitely be asking her back to sit my dog

Kayla took great care of our dogs, especially during the past week of snow, ice and frigid temps! When we arrived home, the dogs were happy and gave every indication they were well cared for.

Due to my "go to" sitter moving town, I needed to find a new home for my babies while I'm out of town. My son and I travel a lot so typical boarding/kennel is not my favorite place for the doggies. Arya was very responsive when setting up the stay. My dogs tend to forget their training when meeting someone new, and I appreciated that Arya immediately responded to my goldendoodle the way I want him to when he jumps - he turned his back. Within 2 minutes Ayra had Marlin responding as he should (too often people tell me, "oh, it's okay" and allow Marlin to misbehave. I know this is also on me...but to have help, helps!). The dogs were walked regularly and I was given many, many videos. I had some questions about the dogs after pick up, and Arya responded immediately. He also texted to check in to see how they were doing, which was great. I'd absolutely use Arya again for shorter trips; I'm not sure about longer ones because the dogs appear to spend much time in the crate. It's not a negative per se - and I trusted Arya completely with them - it's just that that stay is very different from their lifestyle they've experienced during boarding, which is a large yard in which to run free, and generally only crating at night for sleep and when my previous sitter would leave the house.

Britton is a fantastic house and dog sitter! We have a very challenging shelter dog who does not trust people easily. Britton came over once a week for several weeks to get to know our dog and develop a relationship. When it came time for our trip, our dog was not traumatized, and Britton’s calm and patient presence garnered the trust of our dog. And she left the house immaculate! You will be most impressed in hiring Britton to care for your fur babies. We are already planning our next trip and will definitely ask Britton for her help again!!

Emberly was amazing with our girls! We booked her for a last minute day trip. She was quick to respond and arrived early so we could give her the rundown! 10/10 recommend!

Jamie is our go to sitter for our pets. She sends tons of videos and pictures of them throughout the day and truly cares for them! We always come home to a clean house and happy pets. I can’t say enough good things!

Elizabeth is so great with our old girls. Our girls have a lot of anxiety when we go out of town, but we can tell that they are very comfortable with Elizabeth. She is very patient with our picky eater and gives us great updates which is comforting for us when we have our own anxieties leaving.

Sent me pictures and updates of the “boys”. I would definitely recommend her.

Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Arlie! She means the absolute world to us, and knowing she was in such good hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip. We really appreciated your attention to detail, the updates, and all the pictures. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our girl was happy, loved, and well cared for. We can’t thank you enough! 🐾❤️

Laken was great! She was communicative and provided many pictures! Maple became fast friends with her and loved her time with Laken. Thank you so much!

Gabby was amazing! This was our first time having her watch our pup, after coming highly recommended and everything was perfect! She took wonder wonderful care of our dog and home. We can’t wait to have her back and are so appreciative of the perfect job she did! Gabby is awesome!
