4. Penny H.
“Penny was wonderful! She was very detailed in her communication regarding the care of our 7 yr old German Shepherd. She went above and beyond by getting our mail and even offered to have her husband come sit with Maverick during a thunderstorm. We would absolutely request her again for future needs.”
5. Courtney H.
“Great cat sitter, strongly recommended. Courtney was able to watch my two cats on a short notice and did so well with them. They got play time, lots of pets, and fed each day. She sent nice little updates and pictures each visit. I was sold when the shy cat immediately walked up and rubbed against her, which typically only happens to me. I will definitely be booking with her in the future.”

9. Samantha K.
“Samantha and her family are the BEST with dogs! Sam has taken care of my golden retriever from the time she was a puppy through adulthood. When we lived in the same town, we would watch one another's dogs when the other was traveling. I never worried for a second when she was with them. I knew she was always well cared for, walked frequently, and given all the pets she could want. This family is so kind, welcoming, and fun and is sure to give your four-legged friend the best stay while you are away!”

13. Sydney R.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs all my life, since dogs have always been part of my family. Right now, I have a 12 year old Labrador (Teddy) and a 3 year old Labrador (Willow), so I have experience with all ages! I am starting my senior year of college at the University of Virginia and am happy to help around my class schedule & on short notice! My dogs are trained to not leave our yard’s perimeter, but before they were trained I would take them out on leash. As puppies, they spent time in crates but now they longer use them.
14. Ellen F.
About: I've been taking care of both cats and dogs since I was 7! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, including dogs as large as 100+ pounds. I also have experience with pets of all ages, including puppies and kittens up to senior animals. I love animals and promise that I will make sure your furry family member is happy, well cared for, and loved when they are with me! I'm currently on a break between graduating law school and my full time job starting, so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry family member! I live an apartment that is up 2 flights of stairs with my partner. We are a non-smoking home. While we don't currently have pets of our own, our home is ready for your pet to stay over! We have room for up to a medium sized crate in our home. Right outside our door we have an outdoor pet relief area and easy access to nearby parks for lots of enriching walks. I will send a photo with every visit and happy to communicate more frequent updates for longer visits or stays, whatever your preference is.

16. Haleigh M.
“Haleigh was amazing with the boys! She helped me out in a last-minute pinch and was very accommodating. The boys loved her and I will definitely be booking again!”
17. Maya R.
“Maya is an exceptional pet caregiver! She goes above and beyond to ensure pets feel loved and safe. My dog adored her, and I couldn't be happier with her service.”
18. Kelsie K.

19. Emil F.
“Emil is super flexible and always willing to help! He’s easy going and took my pup and kindly watched her for my first week of work. It was hard to leave her, so I appreciated all his help!”
