Passionately Pets - Dog Walking and Sitting Service - Alexandria, VA

Member since Aug 2017

As a passionate pet care professional with certifications from the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS) and Pet Sitters International (PSI), I provide exceptional care for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and even exotic pets like snakes and lizards. Having been in this rewarding field since January 2020, I understand how important it is for pet parents to find reliable, loving care for their furry and scaly family members. My training in Pet CPR and First Aid ensures that your pet is not only safe but also receives the best possible care during our time together.

I specialize in midday dog walking, available Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM. My visits can be customized to meet your pet's unique needs, whether that includes a refreshing walk, feeding, or simply providing companionship. I offer a range of visit durations—15, 30, or 60 minutes—to fit your schedule and your pet's energy level. Plus, I provide discount packages for those who need multiple visits per week, ensuring you receive excellent value without compromising on care. If you’re looking for someone who can cater to a variety of pets, I’m your go-to expert!

I’m proud to be bonded and insured, providing peace of mind that your pets are in good hands while you're away. My mobile services extend to your home, ensuring that your pets can stay in their familiar environment. Ready to get started? Book through Petworks today and let me take care of your beloved pets with the love and attention they deserve!
