“Five stars isn’t enough!!! Neomi is THE BEST! She stayed in my home with my dog, Miracle. She made sure she had my dogs schedule down before my trip started. She showed up when she said she would and was here when she said she would be here. She’s so caring and responsible. I got daily updates and pictures. When I returned home, Miracle was happy and relaxed and my house was spotless. I couldn’t ask for a better person to care for my fur baby I will definitely be a repeat customer.”


“Ariel was amazing. We would absolutely have her spend time with our crazy girls again. She shared photos and texted me to let me know how everything was going. I was able to relax and spend time on a vacation knowing our dogs were well cared for.”


“He responded quickly to my inquiry, which was super helpful, because it was a pretty last-minute booking! His mom ended up being the one to come be with our dogs (which he did get our approval on beforehand). She showed up on time and was kind.”



“Jacqueline was a life saver! She came and stayed with my lab when another rover sitter quit mid stay during a holiday weekend! Poppy and I are so thankful for her and he was very well cared for during her stay at my home.”


About: Dog sitting is something I truly excel at—I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I make sure each pup feels safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether that means sticking to their feeding routine, going on long, playful walks, or just being there for some quality cuddle time. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, quickly noticing if something seems off. I treat every dog like they're part of the family, and pet parents can relax knowing their furry friend is in great hands with me. I currently work part-time caregiver for my mom and father. I have a flexible work schedule so I can do all hours . I believe the more rime u can spend with a animal the more you conny just like a caregiver. I ahve a cat that is friendly and free to go as he pleases. i have toys and a nice yard to play in although will still have to be a leash. And as for your home i will keep the most responsible respectful i can be in your home and to your pet.

About: With over 4 years of experience as a professional dog trainer and pet care provider, I bring a calm, confident, and caring energy to every dog I meet. Whether your pup needs overnight boarding, walks, or some extra playtime, I treat every dog like my own—with love, patience, and lots of belly rubs! I specialize in understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. From high-energy pups to shy seniors, your dog’s comfort and safety are always my priority. I also offer updates with photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Let’s give your pup a fun, safe, and loving stay. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐶❤️ It is my full time job so the dogs get my attention throughout the day and evening if they board over night with me I like to include them in my everyday life as much as possible. When unsupervised I keep the dogs in a ruffland crate for safety of your dog and the other dogs I have at the time. I live right by the river and love to take the dogs there to play in the water and the beach! I also have a gps collar that I put on every dog when I take them outside of my house for safety.

“Sydney provided wonderful care for my two kitties while I was away on a 2-week trip. I chose overnight care at my home and the kitties warmed up to her and had lots of snuggles, petting, and playtime. Sydney kept me up-to-date with texts and photos. I would recommend Sydney to anyone looking for quality, responsible care of their furry loved ones!! She spent lots of quality time with each kitty and their preferred pastimes - one kitty like to sit and nap on one’s lap and the other kitty like to be held and carried around - both require lots of time and patience!”

“Janine was amazing watching our pets while we were away for a few days. Severus is a large dog and we trusted Janine to take him out for walks and to care for him.

Thank you, Janine!”

About: I have been able to work with my Mom, helping to show dogs, foster kittens and cats and care for our family pets. I have learned the importance of keeping pets comfortable in their own home.

About: I’ve grown up with pets at home for the last 17 years. My extended family all have had dogs my entire life varying from Rottweilers, dachshunds, German shepherds and yorkies. I’ve walked, dog sat, bathed, taken care of for both short and extended periods of time for family and friends for about 10 years. I’ve recently moved to Virginia with some family and although not “technically” mine, currently with an extra 4 Maltese and 1 mastiff I set my own hours with my day job. Because of that, I set the same hours on a weekly basis to minimize any confusion. My parents currently have a dog who is very anxious and easily scared so from my personal experience, I’m great with making sure a dog feels more than comfortable with me. I allow them to sniff my hand and/or anything else including shoes, pants, shirt, whatever they need to feel comfortable. Trust with a dog is built over time and I will never force you for baby to go with me if they don’t feel safe.
