“Our Kona's Day Care is coming along quite nicely with Maggie and her family. He is getting to know her children and small dog. We look forward to leaving Kona with Maggie for a few nights later this month. We think it is a good fit and that he will be happy which is very important to us. Thank you Maggie for taking good care of our boy. Mike and Kay Chase”


“I cannot thank Lyra and Scott enough for helping me out in a bind today! I was in Williamsburg visiting my boyfriend with my baby puggle and we needed to run several errands but Angel has never been left by herself for longer than MAYBE an hour. I always have someone to watch her back in Richmond but not here. This is actually the first time I’ve used a pet sitter and I couldn’t be more pleased with their service in particular. They sent me the SWEETEST updates of Angel having a wonderful time with their adorable children. She looked SO cheerful and content. It made this dog mama VERY VERY happy! I know Angel had herself a blast because she has been a tired but blissful potato. I will be using them in the future because I know my baby will be in safe hands and very loved. 10/10 recommend Lyra and Scott for any of your pet sitting needs!”

He was able to go on a walk and relax in a comfortable home. We were updated throughout the day with pictures. We felt very comfortable leaving River in Stephanie's care and we're very appreciative of her last-minute ability to watch him. We would use her again and highly recommend. Thanks Stephanie!”

“Christene has been absolutely amazing with our dog, Pugston. Communication is 100 across the board, with such a flexible, and easy drop off and pick up. She communicates with us throughout the day, including photos of our fur baby. Whenever we need someone to book, Christene is our go to. You won’t be disappointed!”


“Lynn/Michelle was very sweet, sent us pictures and updates throughout the day and was overall wonderful! Will definitely use her again!”


“We had a wonderful experience with Jarin dog-sitting our dog, Lea, while we toured Williamsburg while on vacation. Jarin was communicative and positive. When we experienced car trouble on our road trip, she remained available and accommodating, which was a huge relief. Not only that but she fed Lea dinner and took her on multiple walks. We loved receiving all the photos and videos. Highly recommend Jarin for dog-sitting!”


“This family takes great care of our pup. When I pulled into the drive and Rosy recognized where we were, she was super excited! They love her and Rosy loves them right back!”


“Victor and Abigail were awesome and took extra steps to make sure our anxious pup had a great time. They sent us videos and pictures every day, which we really appreciated. After his first day in daycare, my dog was very excited to return on the following days. He seemed to really like the folks who took care of him and was nice and tired once I picked him up. Staying with these folks was definitely a mini vacation for my dog!”


“So helpful! Thank you! What a life saver!”

My first kittens at my young age was two siames kittens Who had 2 litters of kittens as well as having to toy poodle dogs, that had two litters of puppies twice. I must have been about 10 so it was from then that I have been loving & caring for fur babies.. Though I do not Own a dog or a cat right now, but look forward to owning some in my future..

About: Hello! My name is Zach, I have two dogs and two cats of my own and have grown up with no less than four pets at any given time. Often when I meet people's furry companions I'm told they warm up to me faster than normal and even some times for the first time, so I'm open to try to care for almost any pet! Responsiveness, honesty, and genuine care should be expected from a pet sitter - let me know if I can help! My partner and I work from home so we're available and flexible throughout the week for all pet care services. Just let us know when and we can try to make it work! I have a big but unfenced yard, two sweet begal-hound mix brothers (one is energetic, the other lazy) and two sweet and playful cat sisters. It's a cozy and fun home environment. All the animals get plenty of attention (we love to play) and the dogs are let out consistently throughout the day. I can crate if needed, follow any special instructions, and we have a spare room if space is needed. Your pet will be treated as our own, just let us know!
