“Shemoy was absolutely awesome with my boy. She visited him before the day and developed a good connection and interacted with him like she had known him forever. She was incredibly loving with him and I was more comfortable that I thought I would be for our first time away!”


“Tiffany was great! She was prompt and professional and took great care of Maggie. She took her for walks and outside to play while we were away. She also has good dog management skills which were obvious when she came to meet Maggie and get instructions. She immediately calmed her down and brought her energy under control. Our house was neat and everything was in its place. We will definitely book her next time we are out of town!”


“Erica was prompt with all communication and I’m pretty sure my home is cleaner than I left it. I appreciated her frequent updates, especially considering our dog can be a handful. I’m glad to have found a trustworthy sitter who is willing to care for our pet in our own home. We’ve already booked her again!”


“We were very happy with Michaela and the care she provided while we were away! She followed all instructions, kept the house in good order, and, made sure our pets were safe, happy, and cared for. 🐾🏠 She was reliable, respectful of our home, and communicated as needed. She absolutely did everything we asked and we had peace of mind while we were away. We would gladly have her sit for us again and would recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, no-fuss care.”


“Alex saved the day and the dogs were happy when we got home. She was great about communication and sent picks while we were gone. So nice to nt have to worry. Thanks see you soon.”


“Alexandra is Amazing!! She was so good with our fur-babies!! Normally our boys are all over us when we come home, even if it is just a trip to the store. Alexandra stayed with them for the day and when we got home, they were like "Oh....you're home..." They were so content and happy! We got regular communications and wonderful pictures! Alexandra is definitely our go-to dog sitter!”


“Mary was a great dog and cat sitter. She was very communicative providing descriptions, photos, and videos after each visit. My dog is a bit nervous and skittish, but she was able to quickly bond with him and by the second day he was already comfortable with her.”

“Kimberly was fantastic with our 2 fur babies. She stayed at our rental during the day on our two day stay while we were out on the motorcycle. Our dogs absolutely loved her and so did we. She even brought our pups organic dog treats and she left us a thank you card for us. She is a true professional. We will absolutely use Kimberly again when we come back to Colonial Beach.”


“Sure! Here's a concise and casual review: Virginia is an amazing dog sitter! She stayed at our house for a week and took such great care of our two dogs. It was clear they were happy and well-loved while we were away. She kept everything in order and left the house spotless. We’d definitely trust her again—highly recommend!”


“Cassie did a wonderful job with my two boys. She was also very quick to return my request for services. She’s a great communicator and I’m already planning to have her back!”


About: I’ve been taking care of the family dogs ever since I was 8! I’ve been the one who’s fed them, taken them on walks, and everything else they need. I’ll treat your pet like family, and I’m an animal lover through and through ❤️ I work full time at a Cardiology office, 8:30-5, so if you have a similar schedule I would be a great fit! I’d make sure the pets’ feeding schedules and potty schedules stay the same :) When I watch pets I generally stay at the clients home, treating like a hotel room and keeping it spotless! Generally I find it’s the comfiest for pets as well so they feel safe in a known environment.

About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was little, around 11 years old, but have lived with cats since I was 2 years old. I do have a senior cat, and ferret. Im experienced in giving cats, dogs and ferrets medication for health issues they have had in the past. I’m not expert in everything, but I’m not afraid to learn! I’m currently working full time, but enjoy a busy schedule and a good routine. If I need a specific day off, I can work it out. I’ve been working since I was 14, it has made me more responsible, reliable, and determined. I have two cats, and one ferret, I'm fully responsible for them. I take care of their daily care, vet visits, trim their nails, give them baths, and everything in between. They have been under my care for more than 5 years. I’ve had experience with rodents, birds, and dogs.

“Sydney is amazing with my two dogs! She always makes sure they get plenty of exercise and snuggles, and sends multiple daily updates and pictures when I’m out of town! I plan on continuing to book with Sydney in the future, and I definitely recommend her to take great care of your pets!!”


About: I owned many different pets in the past from cats, snakes, reptiles, birds, and dogs. So I know how to take care and adapt to new situations Free all day and everyday, my hours are really flexible and I am able to work towards yours needs in order to give you the best service you I make sure to watch them so I know they are safe, but I also give them attention and make sure to play with them so they are not bored

About: I have worked at a dog boarding kennel/shelter for over two years where I have gained a huge amount of skills and experience caring for dogs. On a daily basis I walk, feed, medicate, bathe, clean up after, and cuddle with dogs of every size and temperament. Additionally, I've worked at farms and owned quite a few fur-babies of my own so I'm quite comfortable caring for all sorts of animals including cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, rabbits, fish, chickens, parrots, horses, goats, donkeys, and more! I am currently on summer break and only working part time so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets! I will carefully follow any instructions you give me and can provide a huge variety of services from walking to bathing, playing fetch, cuddling, medicating, and more. I would love to help take care of your furry friends while you're away, and I will always make sure they are given the best care possible, and of course lot's of love.

“Lexie was one of the best we have ever had …. She loved the dogs, took care of extra things around the house and was super responsive! She is our “ go to” now and hopefully for a long while!”


About: I've dedicated many years to caring for pets, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. My experience extends beyond my own furry companions, as I've also helped friends by looking after their pets. This involvement has deepened my passion for animals, allowing me to understand their various needs and personalities. Whether it's walking dogs, feeding cats, or providing a comforting presence, I've always found joy and fulfillment in these responsibilities. I'm currently working part time so I have a lot of spare time to care for pets. I'm available on any days and hours I'm not scheduled to work. I will 100% monitor outside potty breaks and play time and use a leash and harness for outside walks. I fallow all guidlines given to me by a customer in their home along with keeping open communication at all times (which means I could be reached at any moment).

“Asked Sue last minute to drop by my house and take care of my two girls-- She was great! Updated me with pictures and activities. She's extremely trustworthy and kind. Wouldnt hesitate to have have watch my girls again!”


“Hailey to the rescue! My husband and I were in a pinch and required in-home dog sitting last minute. Hailey was quick to help and clearly communicated any adjustments to the schedule required to accommodate her day to day schedule. Pups were happy and house was well kept. Would book again in a heartbeat ☺️.”
