Run My Dog - In Home Pet Sitting Services - Alexandria, VA
At Run My Dog, I take pride in offering comprehensive pet care services backed by my certifications from Pet Sitters International (PSI) and the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS). With over seven years of experience serving the vibrant community of Alexandria, I focus on providing more than just a quick potty break. My specialized training enables me to cater to dogs of all sizes and backgrounds, ensuring each furry friend receives the individualized attention they deserve. Whether your pup is a tiny teacup or a large breed, I’m equipped to handle their unique needs with professionalism and love.
Safety is my utmost priority, especially during these times. I’ve put in place strict protocols that adhere to CDC guidelines, limiting contact during COVID-19 restrictions to protect both your pets and my team. Each visit is conducted by the same trusted pet handler to create a familiar and comforting environment for your furry companion. I offer flexible visit options tailored to your lifestyle—whether you need daily walks, weekly check-ins, or occasional services during those long Zoom calls, you can rely on me. My visits include GPS tracking, so you’ll receive an update with a map right after I’ve spent time with your pet.
I’m excited to help your pets thrive and feel loved while you’re away. With my mobile services and flexible cancellation policy, I strive to make pet care as convenient as possible for you. If you're ready to give your pet the care they deserve, book me through Petworks today! Let's ensure your furry family members are happy and healthy while you're busy.

Run My Dog was started in honor of Charlie, a 130lbs Rottweiler and German Shorthair Pointer mix, who put Marley, in Marley and Me, to shame. Robbyn had no idea what she was getting into. Adopted as a puppy from a rural Iowa shelter, she though he was a 37lbs nine month old. Turns out, three weeks later the vet proclaimed he couldn't be past 20 weeks at 42 lbs. Through their 11 years together, Charlie bought Robbyn an education in training and behavior modification. Due to his size and issues, Robbyn was unable to find a professional dog walker or pet sitter that could handle him. Run My Dog was built to fill that need for all the pet parents with dogs that are just a little "more". We will work with any dog and if we can't, we'll offer advice and professional trainers that can help. We work with the well behaved dogs too!
What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?
Your dog is telling you what they need. When we can slow down and observe, we can figure out how to help them through the negative behavior.
What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!
We go the extra mile in training our staff in dog behavior, training, and safety. Robbyn is a CATCH certified dog handler and soon to be certified dog trainer.
