House Sitting in Locust Dale

“Nichol is very knowledgeable about dogs, and I trust her with my dogs for more services in the future. Very friendly and efficient.”

“Chris is like the dog whisperer we never knew we needed! From the moment they stepped in, it was clear Rori and Luna were in good hands. Chris's updates were not just informative but also downright entertaining! It's evident that Chris went above and beyond to keep our furry duo entertained and well cared for. From backyard play sessions to neighborhood patrols, Chris ensured that Rori and Luna had a blast while maintaining their good behavior – well, mostly! Their witty anecdotes about the girls' reactions and antics, like Rori embracing her inner cat or Luna's sudden craving for one-on-one time, kept us smiling throughout our trip. Chris's attention to detail, from trying out different leash options to noting the girls' dinner alarm with atomic precision, showed genuine care and commitment. And let's not forget the heroic attempt at distracting Rori from post-dinner play urges – talk about persistence paying off! The Netflix and chill session with our fur babies sounds like the perfect way to wind down, and we appreciate the extra effort in tidying up the house before our return. The folded blankets and freshly washed towels are a nice touch! Overall, Chris's dedication, humor, and genuine affection for Rori and Luna shine through in every update. We couldn't have asked for a better dog/house sitter. Chris, you're pawsitively amazing – Rori, Luna, and we can't thank you enough for taking such great care of our girls! See you again this weekend.”

“Ronda is fantastic!”

“Shannon did an AMAZING job taking care of our pets (and home!) In our absence. We returned to happy fur babies, a clean home, and a few thoughtful surprises as well. We'll certainly be reaching out again next time we are traveling!”

“Logan has worked with all of our animals (3 dogs and two cats) for four years! She has helped house train puppies and took care of all of these unique personalities during a month long trip last summer. I can not say enough about how loving and responsible and detail oriented she is. I would highly recommend her to any pet owner.”

“Jordann was great and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again! Our dogs aren’t used to being left at home without someone they know well, but we had limited options for this trip. She was super flexible when we asked about doing a meet and greet and the dogs (one of which is medicated for his anxiety) seemed immediately comfortable around her. She stayed with them in our home for 3 days and when we got back the house was clean and the dogs were happy, I couldn’t ask for much more than that. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years and have been around them my entire life; they complete me and I love meeting any and all types of animal friends! I have 3 dogs of my own: a Lab/Pit named Zoey, a 3-legged Pit/Rottie named Duncan who I actually adopted from my job, and a Dachshund/Jack Russell named Nickel. I also have a variety of fish, snails, a hamster, and a crested gecko, so my love doesn’t have boundaries! I work part-time at the Fluvanna County SPCA on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays and am also going to college to major in biology. We are currently in the process of moving, so at the moment, things can be hectic, however, animals still need care, so that always comes first! I am currently out of work due to a driver’s reckless decision to drive on the wrong side of the road and hit me head-on. It broke my right (dominant) wrist in 3 places and I had to have a plate and 7 screws surgically placed on April 9th, so I am still recovering. Other than trying to move a house and doctor’s appointments, I am readily available and am looking forward to caring for your babies in whatever way I can! I have a fenced-in yard (and will have a huge fenced in area at my new place as well) and can make accommodations when it comes to my babies or yours!

“Caitlin is wonderful with animals and has a vast knowledge of pet care and animal behavior from her years of experience working with them hands-on. They are passionate about providing the best care possible, that matches the specific needs of each animal they work with. Caitlin is always open to learning more from the animals she works with and is one of the first people I reach out to when I need a dog sitter!”

“Nathan has cared for our 80 lb Newfoundland mix on several occasions and always does a fantastic job. She is really always excited to be dropped off (I try not to take that personally!) and in great and healthy shape when we pick her up. Highly recommend Nathan for your pet sitting needs.”

“Emily took great care of our pup while we were out of town. She sent us regular updates and lots of pictures. We will definitely book with Emily again!”

“Samantha and her dog Daisy were great companions for my pups while we were out of the country for 10 days over the holidays. She updated us with pics and videos and our pups seemed happy, healthy and well taken care of.”

“Absolutely wonderful! Always on time and kept me up to date with texts and pictures from her adventures with my 100lb malamute! Friendly, professional and understanding to my dogs needs. Highly recommend Makayla for all your pet caregiver needs!”

“Oliver does great with my pets. I have 3 dogs from a pug to a Great Dane and chickens. Oliver takes great care of them for me when we go away and the dogs are always excited to see Oliver.”

“Chris was such a great sitter for all 3 of my dogs! They all each have very different temperaments and he handled them all great. Such a kind man and really understands patience with animals. I’d recommend him for any pet sitting needs. I already plan to have him come back!”

“Cameron updated us and communicated very well. She asked questions and responded quickly. Highly recommend.”
