Enjoy a spacious, light-filled apartment near the heart of Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. The apartment is near the bustling King Street dining and shopping area, and an easy Metro ride into Washington, DC. You would be caring for two super sweet and adorable cats named Chuck and Boots. They are best buddies and love to be around humans. They enjoy playtime and treats, and just hanging out with you while you relax.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

My building is super close to a metro station with easy access to Washington, DC and all it has to offer. My neighborhood is very walkable, and I live very close to King Street which has excellent shops and restaurants. The Alexandria waterfront is beautiful and easy to get to from my place.

Boots and Chuck are sweet and friendly cats who love people and will become fast friends with you. They are easy to care for and are great company. Our routine is pretty straightforward—they get dry food in the morning, wet food in the evening, and I keep an electronic water fountain filled for them. They also get a probiotic in their wet food.
I empty the two litter boxes and vacuum at least once per day.

It was a pleasure to house sit for Leah. Chuck & Boots are very lovable and friendly cats 🩵 and were no trouble at all. Leah was great at communicating with us before and during the sit. Her apartment was very clean and ready for our arrival. She invited us to come a day early so we could meet and talk before the sit. Her apartment is in a good location just a short walk to old town Alexandria and easy access to the metro. We would recommend Leah and would house sit again. A great first ...

This was my third time hanging out with Chuck and Boots, and honestly, I’d sit for these two anytime! The apartment is bright, comfy, and in an awesome spot—walking distance to all the great food and shops on King Street, plus easy Metro access if you want to explore DC. But let’s be real—the best part is Chuck and Boots. These two are the sweetest, funniest little dudes. They’re total besties, always up for playtime, snacks, or just chilling with you like tiny, judgmental roommates. If you ...

They’re total besties, always up for playtime, snacks, or just chilling with you like tiny, judgmental roommates. If you love having built-in entertainment (and very cute company), these guys deliver. I’ve had an amazing time every stay, and if you get the chance to sit here, grab it! You won’t regret it.

Leah’s condo was a perfect little getaway close to Old Town Alexandria. Boots and Henry were adorable and fun to be with. They were like two peas in a pod. Leah and I communicated well to facilitate the House sit and she was delightful to work with!

I always enjoy sitting for Leah and I fall more in love with her kitty's Boots and Chuck more and more each time.
We very much enjoyed house sitting for Leah and her "boys" (good pals, cats Boots and Chuck). The boys were well behaved and kept us entertained, not only by playing with us but also by their penchant for patiently waiting on their automatic food dispenser! :) Our sit was set up promptly with timely follow up. All communications prior to and during the sit were appreciated. Leah's apartment was very nice, in a well-secured and modern apartment building, and as close to a Metro stop as ...

We look forward to having an opportunity to again sit for Leah in the future! Jim and Jan Knobel

This was undeniably one of the most pleasant and comfortable experiences I've had the pleasure of enjoying. The atmosphere at Leah's residence was made even more delightful by the presence of her two adorable cats, Chuck and Boots, who were not only incredibly affectionate but also provided endless entertainment throughout my stay. From the moment I stepped into her home, it felt like a true haven, an immediate sense of comfort enveloping me. The warmth and welcoming ambiance of Leah's place ...

The warmth and welcoming ambiance of Leah's place created an atmosphere that resonated with the feeling of being at home, making my stay all the more enjoyable. Leah's proactive communication style stood out, as she consistently kept the lines of communication open for any questions I might have. Looking forward to my next sit for her.
