Ahhh — Valentine’s Day. A day to appreciate the ones you love. Especially those who love you unconditionally — your pets!
Jenna Gotch of Passionately Pets keeps the pets of Alexandria happy and healthy. She and her trained staff provide professional dog walking, pet sitting and house-sitting services.
Passionately Pets was created to serve pet owners with busy lives (which I think includes all of us, right?!)
During dog walking, pet sitting, and overnight visits, a Passionately Pets team member will spend quality time with your pet, providing exercise, socialization, and mental stimulation. They also know how to tell if your pet needs veterinary attention.
Their goal? To make you feel comfortable while you are at work or away, knowing your pet is safe and happy (even Cupid uses them!)
To learn more, book a service, or purchase the perfect Valentine’s Day treat for your pet, visit PassionatelyPets.com and be sure to follow them on Instagram!
