Casey and her adorable children absolutely spoiled Coda while we were away! I couldn’t have found someone better to look after my dog while we were away. We just moved here 2 weeks ago and had to go back to NY to see our son off to the Air Force. A very stressful time and Casey sent updates daily which put my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend Casey to care for your pets! ❤️

Caitlin was exceptional at watching our pups over a weekend trip. She’s responsive and most of all gave lots of love to our two beagles. She’s an excellent pick!

Kellie did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 dogs while we were out of town. One of the dogs was being difficult at first but Kelsie stayed with it and won her over.

Tia was an amazing sitter! She did a 30min drop-in for my energetic Labrador, Bo. She was more than willing to arrange a meet and greet beforehand and maintained communication both before and during the visit. Tia not only followed all of my instructions but also exceeded my expectations. She even played a game of fetch with Bo outdoors (which is his favorite game ever). She truly impressed me, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter. ?

Jadyn took excellent care of our dogs, coming three times even when set-up for twice, brought a package inside that was left for us and gave the dogs water. She was concerned with the dogs getting enough play time and so she came the third time at no additional charge. Definately recommend her as a great drop in care taker.

Amanda was AMAZING. I felt so comfortable every day I was gone knowing that she was giving my pup attentive care. She would keep me very informed and sent many pictures. She went above and beyond to keep my dog entertained and loved- from all the belly rubs to games of fetch to walks- Amanda covered it all. She was quick to reply, honest, sweet, flexible, and responsible. Will definitely book her again! Thank you Amanda!

About: Hi! My name is Alexis, I am 27 years old, and I have been around animals my entire life. Growing up I helped my dad with training his rabbit dogs and attending to their needs while he was at work or etc. I am born and raised in Amherst, VA. I own my own townhouse in Madison Heights. Although, the area is not fenced in there is a nice big yard for your fur-baby to get plenty of exercise and exposure to the sun and fresh air!! There is sidewalks in the neighborhood that makes it easy for taking walks. I am here to care for your fur-baby as you would. I will pet, feed, walk, play, brush attend to your fur-baby's needs. You and your fur-baby will be happy with my services. I do work 40 hours a week from home which allows me to have more time at home to attend to your fur-baby. Your dog/cat will be able to roam freely in the house unless otherwise requested. I do not work weekends, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I can easily crate your dog as needed. All dogs are walked on leashes when we go for walks. I respect your wishes in my home and your home.

Megan was great when she kept our pup for our week long honeymoon, she let me have peace of mind to enjoy my vacation. She sent photos & updates but didn’t over do it! I would 10/10 use Megan for animal services again!

About: I've had and cared for many breeds of pets ever since I was in middle school, ranging from puppies to kittens to farm animals. Including the fur babies of my friends and family members. Taking care of animals has always been a passion of mine and it makes me happy to see them happy. ❤️ I'm currently working part-time so I'll have lots of time to give your pets all the lovin' and play time they need and wholeheartedly deserve. I have a pitbull in my home now who is enjoying his retirement with tennis balls and big sticks in the front yard. I had a beautiful cat for about 15 years before she crossed the rainbow bridge. ❤️

Katelyn loves animals. I remember her saying when I get my own place I will have a horse, but then it changed to a dog. She is very passionate about pets and how they are treated. I believe she would love and care for a pet in her charge as if was her own!

About: I’ve helped care for various pets my entire life, including small caged animals like hamsters and gerbils, as well as birds, cats, and dogs. I have personal experience (no certifications) in training and grooming my pets, as well as administering medication. I’m a full time student on summer break and looking for something to do that makes me happy and helps others at the same time. For me, safety starts with having a discussion with each owner about the personality of the pet(s). It is important to understand what they do and do not like, and what traits I should be aware of to maintain the safety of the pet and myself. It’s also important to keep a pet leashed at all times during walks because even if a pet is well-behaved, we could encounter a other pets on walks that are not safe.
