“APC is awesome… they watched our 2 kitties for 2 weeks while we were on vacation, took in our mail, and fed our fish. I will definitely use them again. They were hassle and worry free!”…Read more reviews…

Get the Expertise You Expect
Before working here, we made our careers in animal hospitals, shelters, doggie day care, animal rescue, fostering, and dog training. So when you hire us, you’re hiring knowledgeable and prepared career professionals.
Working for you is not a hobby or temp gig. This is our living, and we take pride in what we do for you and your pets. Every day.
So, we make it real around here. Real people answer your calls. Real people introduce themselves to you and your pets in person before services begin. Real people are on-call when our office is closed. So, let’s make it real. Let’s get started today!
Our Services = Your Delight!
Pet Sits
When you’re out of town or away for the day, schedule pet sitting visits between 7am and 10pm. We visit once or twice a day for cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, turtles, etc. We visit three or more times each day for dogs. See pet sitting prices…
Puppy Care
Give your little one some play time while you’re away from home or at work. For pups 12 months and younger, choose a puppy break of 10, 15 or 20 minutes, once or a few times a day. They’ll be dog tired when we leave. See puppy care prices…
Dog Walks
Schedule walks any day of the week. We follow your usual routine, from low key strolls to focused and speedy exercise. We visit one home at a time, so pups get our full attention. Choose daily walk services or save $5 a visit with monthly weekday walking plans.

Our Service Area
Our five small neighborhood teams serve Alexandria City and outside the beltway from Huntington to Mount Vernon.
If you live in one of these Zip Codes then HOORAY, you live in our service area!
We serve Fairlington and these Alexandria zip codes: 22301, 22302, 22303, 22304, 22305, 22306, 22307, 22308, 22309, 22311, 22314.
Our Neighborhood Teams Bring FUN Home!
We work in small neighborhood-based teams of three to five, so every client will meet their team of caregivers and know personally who’s visiting their home. We would want to meet who’s coming into our home, after all.
Gone are the days of some new pet sitter showing up who you don’t know, who doesn’t know your pets, and who your pets have no rapport with. We introduce our clients to the whole team working in their neighborhood, so there are no staff surprises for you when we take a vacation day (gasp!), or have a sick day (never!), or just have a full schedule and need our employees to stay at their usual calm and flexible pace (no packing schedules here to “fit you in” on an overloaded employee).
