In-Home Pet Care Across Alexandria
Capital Petsitters has cared for Northern Virginia pets since 1993, and our sitters work throughout Alexandria — from Old Town’s townhouses to the garden apartments of Parkfairfax and the bungalows of Del Ray.
Every visit happens in your home, on your pet’s schedule, with a sitter you’ve met beforehand. No kennels, no pack walks.
Our Alexandria Services
Mid-Day Dog Walking. A 20, 30, or 45-minute walk and play session while you’re at work — every weekday or occasionally when the day runs long.
Vacation & Daily Visits. Dogs, cats, and most small pets, following your exact routine, with photo updates and visit notes every time.
Overnight Care. A sitter stays in your home overnight, keeping evening and morning routines intact while you travel.
Medication Visits. Oral medication, injections, and subcutaneous fluids — including insulin and seizure medication — from experienced sitters.
Alexandria Neighborhoods We Serve
We cover 22301, 22311, and the surrounding area, including Del Ray, Old Town, Rosemont, Parkfairfax, Seminary Hill, Bradlee, Landmark, and Alexandria West.
