Hear what my clients have to say about Alice and Lola's Pet Sitting Service:

I was so nervous leaving my two dogs with a petsitter since we had only ever used a kennel. Don't I wish I had discovered Alice and Lola's sooner! Our dogs were so calm and happy when we returned and they didn't have that lovely kennel odor. We now have the Alice and Lola's magnet on our fridge for all our pet care needs!

Katherine Hamilton
Arlington, VA

My two little Papillons, Priscilla and Penny, loved Nicole. She gave them long walks and belly rubs every day. I loved the "report cards" so I knew exactly what they did every day. I'll definitely use Alice and Lola's in the future.

Jenny Mountjoy
Mason Neck, VA

The service and passion provided by Nicole is superb. She truly cares for the pets she works with and understands the anxieties an owner can have about someone else taking care of their pet. The updates she leaves every day detailing their walk is such a joy to read and allows for me to know how my pet is doing during the day. Nicole's optimism and can-do attitude no matter the challenge really makes it a pleasure to work with her.

Nicole has been great with our pets. When we're away, we always have peace of mind because we know they're in good hands.

Scott and Meredith
Falls Church, VA

Nicole has been a great and extremely reliable petsitter and my dogs love her. She has always been there when I needed her help especially when my Rocketman had cancer and needed extra attention during his last days. She was always there to lend a helping hand when need be and I could always count on her to ensure my dogs were safe and having fun. Nicole is responsible and I can always rest assure, my dogs are safe in her care.

Marlene Abshire
Lorton, VA

Nicole takes wonderful care of our two cats. We know that we can trust her to keep them safe. She is highly professional and takes her business seriously but it was easy to see from the first meeting that she truly cares about the animals she cares for.

The Miller Family
Woodbridge, VA

The services provided for a week for my Jack Russell was outstanding and exceptional. The time and dedication that Nicole spent with my little Prince was surprising. I received a text each visit which assured me that my dog was well taken care of. When I returned from my trip I found notes on the counter from Nicole about each visit. I will always use Alice and Loas Pet Sitting Service if I need a dog sitter again. Nicole opened and closed my curtains, turned on my porch lights, brought in my mail, and provided the best care for my little Prince. I highly recommend this company because of the care, dedication, and exceptional services I received while away. Thank you Nicole for making my business trip worry free knowing that my dog was in the best caring hands possible. I will continue to use your services and give as many referrals as possilbe.

Nicole Browne with Alice and Lola's is wonderful! She is very flexible and dependable and whether she is walking or staying with my Baxter I can rest assured that he is being well cared for. Nicole stays in our house with Baxter while we are on vacation and we never worry. Nicole is professional and trustworthy and I highly recommend her services. It is so nice to be able to travel and not have to worry about my little one at home.

Kristin Deshmukh
Vienna, VA

Nicole has provided exceptional service in caring for my pet. She has cared for one or two dogs, depending on whether my "grand-dog" is there to or not. I was delighted to see that Casey, my dog, always seems extremely content when I return from travel which was not always the case when I took her to board away from the house. She has never let me down and I really depend on her.

Jacqueline Lilly
Dumfries, VA

Nicole is the greatest. She is always punctual with her attentive care to our dog, the personable and charming Mr. Ray. Nicole takes great care in following all feeding and walking requests and leaves the most detailed and thoughtful notes. If Mr. Ray could talk, he would give her five "woofs," the highest possible on the Mr. Ray scale.

Larry Weisman
Burke, VA

My dog was well taken care of! Nicole kept a short, daily log of my dog's behavior, potty breaks and walks, and she pleasantly returned my phone calls when I called to check up on my dog. Using the in-home services was helpful for me because I didn't have to go anywhere to drop off/pick up my dog, and less stressful for my dog in that he was able to stay in his home and be walked in the same neighborhood he is familiar with. I will be using Nicole's services again!

Sara D.
Arlington, VA

Nicole has been wonderful, helping my 3-year old, slightly spoiled Coton de Tulear acclimate to a new place and a new routine. Maddie tells me that she very much enjoys her daily visit from Nicole, especially the belly rub. She couldn't be happier.

Debbie H.
Arlington, VA

My dogs and I had the pleasure of knowing and relying on Nicole with Alice and Lola's Pet Sitting Service since July 2008. My four dogs absolutely love her and can't wait for her visits. Nicole is 100% professional, reliable and I wouldn't trust my "fur children" with anyone else! When I am away, I never have to worry if they're doing okay. I would recommend Nicole and her company to anyone who wants great service for their pets at reasonable prices. I would be happy to speak personally to anyone who has further questions about Nicole and her company. She is truly a pleasure to work with.

Sara V.
Manassas, Va

Nicole is extremely reliable and does a terrific job with our energetic Border Collie. Zoe is a high energy dog and needs someone to play ball and Frisbee and tire her out. She is very happy with Nicole and we are very glad to have found someone that takes care of our baby this well. Nicole has also looked after Zoe during overnight trips and goes out of her way to walk Zoe, even at late hours of the evening, just so that she would be comfortable. We have great peace of mind knowing Nicole is there for Zoe and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated pet sitter.

Nelson and Malika
Falls Church, VA

Leaving my (adored) cats with Nicole is like leaving them with trusted family. Only better! My family doesn't leave report cards about what kind of games they played, how much food they ate, or where she found my shy cat hiding. Alice and Lola's pet-sitting service is the best I have ever used. You can feel very comfortable about leaving your pets in caring hands.

"Three dogs can prove to be very demanding on a person. Nicole was up for task and cared for our three dogs while we were out of town. It was great for us to go on vacation with the piece of mind that our little boys would be well cared for in their own home and not have to be kenneled. Thank you Nicole!!!"

Mary Beth C.

Nicole gives my Jack Russell puppy, Cleo, potty breaks during the week. I am extremely pleased with how flexible Nicole has been with my ever-changing schedule. I can tell she really cares about my pup from her daily notes and her interaction with Cleo during the consultation. I'm so glad I found Nicole!

Lindsey B.
Arlington, VA

I have a "special needs baby" – He need LOTS of attention! My Miniature Pincher, Bailey, is accustomed to frequent play and loving. I hate being away from Bailey, but I know when I'm away he is being well taken care of by Nicole.

Nicole is extremely reliable and dependable. She has made herself available to visit Bailey at the last minute, more than once. I really appreciate her!

Kinsey Jones
Woodbridge, VA

Nicole is an extremely professional and reliable petsitter. I appreciate the detailed feedback she provides about my dog after each visit. I highly recommended her!

Catherine Kannenberg
Alexandria, VA

I lost my dog sitter a few weeks before my vacation so I was thrilled to find Nicole. Her initial consultation was professional and thorough and allowed me to see how she would interact with my Shiba Inu/Chin Do mix. While he is trained, he is a strong willed pet that needs to be kept in check or else he will take charge. Nicole had no problem dealing with this demanding behavior while walking and then continued to charm him with long belly rubs afterwards. She also made adjustments to his meals to keep him eating. I arrived home to my mail neatly arranged on my kitchen center, notes from everyday I was gone, and a very happy pet who hopes I will spend more time rubbing his belly.

I highly reccomend using Alice and Lola's Pet Sitting Service.

We couldn't be more pleased with Nicole Browne' s dog walking services. Our two Labrador Retrievers look forward every day to seeing Nicole and going on their daily walks. What is so great about Nicole's services is that she is extremely responsive, responsible, and helpful. Any changes or alters to schedules and requests are met within an extremely timely manner. We are impressed by her professionalism and genuine regard for our dogs. We wouldn't trust anyone else! She is the best. Thank you, Nicole! :)

Nicole has been a life-saver for us!! From the first moment we contacted her, she was extremely nice and eager to work with our dog. Upon meeting her, we got a great feeling that she would be great with Sam. Our work schedule was quite hectic but Nicole was always accommodating, even when we needed her at the last second. She would also leave us a note every time they were together to let us know how much fun they had and that was always reassuring to us. We are moving and Jimmy, myself along with Sam, will truly miss Nicole. Thank you again!!

Our family is very happy and relieved with the services of Alice and Lola’s Pet Sitters! So much so, that we will be using this service from now on for our family trips. Nicole is trustworthy, dependable and very caring! Our cats are high maintenance - one is 15 years and the other is a 10 month old kitten. They have different care requirements and Nicole was most accommodating to each of them during our recent trip in September 2008. She promptly returned phone calls, took the utmost care of our pets, and our home too! Additionally, there was a daily report on each of them awaiting us when we arrived home.We were previously paying a good friend to care for our pets during our trips, but when our friend was unavailable during our last vacation, we needed to find a home care pet service. After searching the web and talking with a few local pet sitters, we were most appreciative to obtain the services of Nicole at Alice and Lola’s Pet Sitters. Because Alice and Lola’s Pet Sitters is licensed, bonded and insured, we had that added security in leaving our home and our pets for vacation. We will continue to use Nicole’s services for future trips! It was so nice to come home to clean litter boxes, clean and full water and food bowls, and two very happy, high maintenance cats!!

Hey Nicole, Thanks for watching all four dogs. We got in Saturday night. They seemed very happy. We will definitely be using you again for future trips. I will be in touch soon.

Amy Herrmann

Nicole at Alice & Lola's is professional, punctual & a delight to be around. I felt an immediate sense of compassion for animals whenmeeting Nicole...she really cares!!! I will look no further; Alice & Lola's did a wonderful job and I highly recommend their services.

Tommy Hodges

Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my precious Mya during my last trip. Your care and diligence in caring for Mya was evident in her demeanor upon my return. I wanted to also thank you for the extra efforts of bringing in the mail and taking care to ensure that my home appeared lived-in during my absence. I very much appreciate your efforts and will definitely call you again to take care of my Mya during my next business trip.

Ron Durham

I am so happy to have found Nicole! My dog Scrappy has an extreme case of separation anxiety and leaving him in a kennel was always stressful for both of us. This was my first time using a pet-sitting service so I was a bit nervous as to how Scrappy would respond. I can't tell you how happy I was to have returned home from a week-long trip to find my dog happy and content as if I had never left. Nicole was even nice enough to keep me updated via email while I was away. I am definitely a happy, grateful and long term client of Nicole's.

Tobi

I was delighted to have found Nicole and "Alice and Lola's"! Delighted because of her enthusiasm and responsiveness. Trust me, my boys Spike and Buster are pampered and spoiled and I was determined to find someone that could and would give them the special love:-) And how do I know they were happy afer a visit from Nicole? There was no post visit destruction! Lucky us, we're looking forward to a happy relationship.

Valerie
Woodbridge, VA

Nicole looked after our very energetic and demanding dog superbly well. So well in fact she's now our carer of choice and we'll be booking with her again. Nicole was also a pleasure to deal with.

Alexis M.
Washington, DC

We are delighted to have found Alice and Lola's Pet Sitting Service and Nicole. She took care of our 1 year old rescue husky/hound mix who has a medium case of anxiety and did a fabulous job. We were delighted in her professionalism and personal attention to our needs. We were thrilled to come home to a happy, loved and content dog and to a report card that told us of her daily routine. It was a nice change from the "not knowing" feeling you get with the kennels. We look forward to having Nicole sit for us in the future!

Amy and Corbin
Annandale, VA

Nicole is so reliable and did such a great job! I will definitely have her back again as a pet sitter. It was a huge relief and such peace of mind to have her looking after my beloved Siamese cat, and to know that she was also keeping an eye on our house while we were away. Nicole took the stress out of leaving for vacation!

Jennifer Toland

I have two Pomeranians and they are very particular about everything.We needed a Pet Sitter who was licensed, insured, bonded and loved animals. We found Nicole. She epitomized professionalism and displayed business acumen. She honored our requests. Nicole treated our babies the way we do, with love and great care.I highly recommend Alice/Lola's Pet Sitting Service. Thanks for everything Nicole. You are the best and we are certain of a long standing relationship with you. Burbank and Tarts send a BIG HUG/Lick.

Janet, Burbank and Tarts

Nicole has amazed us with her genuine personality and her love for our animals. Caspian, Max, and Aslan are all three very spoiled dogs who are not used to being left. Nicole took charge of our household while we were away for a whole week. It was like we had never left! The dogs love Nicole and we feel at ease when we are out of town! Nicole is also very trustworthy and easy to get in touch with at any time. I would definitely recommend Nicole to anyone who has animals. Thank you, Nicole!

Nancy and Andy

Nicole is a great pet sitter, very professional and friendly. She took care of my two pet rats while out of town, and did great with them. Would definitely recommend her to others.

Susan
Washington, DC

Alice & Lolas' pet sitting service is the most professional, reliable, detail-oriented pet sitting service around. My cats were not only taken care of, but given affection and played with. I felt more confident than ever that I would come home to happy cats who did not resent me for leaving them. In fact, I think they had so much fun with Nicole they will want her to come back again sometime! Thanks Nicole, so so much!

Meredith Dolgin
Washington, DC

I'm so glad to have found Nicole to take care of my kitty when I have to go out of town. It gives me great peace of mind to not worry whether my cat will be well-fed and taken care of. I will definitely call Nicole again the next time I'm going out of town.

Natalie and Hecate
Washington, DC

I had such a hard time finding a professional and reliable dog sitter that would keep Kaiya, my german shepard. Finding Nicole was great because she would keep my dog with her in her home, which is so much better than what a kennel would offer, plus Nicole's prices are better. Add in the fact that she picks up and drops off -you can't ask for a better deal!

Michell Stanley
Washington, DC

Nicole is fantastic at what she does. She is not only very professional and completely trustworthy but more importantly you can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she sits for. I returned after a one-week vacation to find my ten-months-old kitten healthy and happy. Nicole also went out of her way to come to my rescue when I unexpectedly needed a document found and sent over to my hotel. I will definitely be contacting her again the next time I have to go away and need a cat sitter.

Catherine Lee
Falls Church, VA

We have been struggling with the perfect solution to take care of our cat while out of town and are thrilled to have found Nicole! We left for almost 2 weeks and didn't worry for a moment that Raj was in good hands. Nicole is a very kind animal lover and we could tell that they had fun together while we were gone. The best part is coming home to happy, healthy kitty! Thanks Nicole, we will definitely be using you again!

Suzanne and Jeff
Washinton, DC

We have two dogs and have used a number of different pet-sitting services. Nicole is by far the best - she is professional, kind, and takes wonderful care of our girls. When we travel, we feel confident knowing that Nicole will be taking care of the house and our dogs, and when we come home, both dogs are happy and calm. Can't say enough great things about Nicole - if you've been looking for a wonderful pet-sitter, look no further!

Sean and Stacey
Washington, DC

I have to say that it has was a big relief to have found Nicole! I have used dog sitters in the past and never felt completely comfortable. I have a 100lb. Lab and a 6 month old St. Bernard. She handles them so well, and believe me they can be a challenge! Alice and Lola’s Pet Sitting Service is reliable and flexible. I never have to worry about my pups when Nicole is around! Plus, I love the little notes she writes about her time with my boys.

Kristen and Mike
Alexandria, VA

Nicole is a superb dog handler. I have two high energy (big!) pups that are returned to me relaxed, happy and very well cared for when I come back from trips. This service is dependable and wonderful to work with.

Suzanna Tuson

I rescued a 10 year old Min Pin about 6 months ago. I needed a pet sitter for a week and was nervous as I had never left him before. He is the loyal type dog who always wants to be by my side and waits looking out the window for me to come home whenever I leave. Nicole kept him in her home and he bonded to her and really enjoyed his stay with her. She treated him as if he was her own dog and when he came home, he was 100% happy and adjusted. Nicole is a trustworthy, organized, compassionate and professional businesswoman. I recommend her highly to everyone as does my dog!
