“Mary did a fabulous job taking care of our cats while we were away. She went above and beyond with her care and communication. We are truly grateful to have had such an amazing care giver looking after our cats!”
“Danielle did a great job! My cat is diabetic and gets insulin 2X a day. This was the first time being away from him since he was diagnosed. Danielle came over and met Blue Jeans prior to my trip and was very communicative throughout my trip and sent pictures every day. If you need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Danielle.”
“Kristin did a amazing job watching my dog and was always is sending pictures and comments on how my dog was doing. I would definitely recommend Kristin to anyone.”
“Madison did an outstanding job taking great care of our three pets - two cats and one dog. She immediately answered any and all questions we had during the booking, and made sure our pets were well-feed, well-cared for, and well-loved. Highly recommended!”
“Kayla B. was super responsive to messages. She took great care of my kitties while I was gone. House was in perfect shape and kitties were happy when we returned. Will definitely book with her again. Highly recommend.”
About: I've had many years of experience between keeping my own animals as well as house sitting or just dropping in to check on your pets! I also offer the same service for reptiles! Preferably would like to service closer to Wytheville but will travel in some cases, extra fees will apply depending on distance! I currently have a full time job but I am looking to quit so I can focus on doing nails and going to school part time for that but I need a side hustle! I live in a school bus so I don't really have tons of room to take care of pets there but I am more than willing to come to their homes, I'd prefer that the pet is comfortable as possible and I cannot stay overnight in a home but I can stay as long as needed to make sure the care requirements are met
“Kayla, was was wonderful. She took great of our senior kitty. I did not have one worry about my fur baby under her care while I was on vacation. Thank you so much Kayla. Would love to use you again in the future.”
About: 50 years of experience, grew up on a dairy farm, currently have three horses, twenty three chickens and three dogs on a ranch style farm. I am semi retired so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals as well as my own, I am pretty flexible all week as well as weekends. I will take care of your pets as if they were my own, animals that live with us are considered family and family always comes first.
About: For my house sitting experience I’ve had to stay overnight at my uncles house and my cousins many times and watch their dogs while they are gone, I’ve been doing that for probably 5 years. I’ve also house sat for friends and other families and taken care of their dogs (and cats!) for quite awhile. For dog walking I’ve always had dogs, I’m good at walking them but I’d prefer (especially) for bigger dogs to be trained for walking so They are not just pulling against me the whole walk. For drop in, I’ve had to do them for years whether your dog is on a specific schedule like my dads or not I can play with them feed them and any other specific doggy request. Same for cats, I’ve always had cats as well and I’ve never met one who didn’t like me :) I’m not professionally trained as I have not taken any classes. but I know how to help both choking cats and dogs! Or know how to help if any other emergency might happen. I'm currently only working part time so I have plenty of extra time to come walk with or just check in on your puppies or kitties! I’m always very careful to listen to pets body language and the boundaries they set for people they aren’t fully familiar with (especially cats) I won’t force your beloved pet to do anything they don’t want to do and I will guarantee I’m giving 110% to your animal anytime I see them :)

Jackson E.
“Jackson is a very responsible dog sitter! My big german shepherd husky mix loves him! I trust him more than anyone to take care of my navy when I’m away.”

Yvette S.
“Yvette always does such a good job when she stays at our place to watch Zeus and Charley. She follows instructions perfectly, gives them lots of love and play time. I never worry when we go in vacation because I know I’m leaving them in responsible hands.”
Ashlen D.
“Ashlen is an excellent caregiver to my pets. She is very experienced with dogs and cats but also has been raised around farms and is familiar with outdoor animals as well. She regularly checks on my 11 month old puppy on days that I work. In addition to feeding and exercising, she works with him on commands that he learned from an obedience training program. She is responsible, always making sure he is in his kennel and the door is locked when she leaves. She keeps her appointments and is thorough in her care. Koda absolutely loves her and enjoys the attention she gives when she is checking on him. I highly recommend Ashlen as a pet caregiver.”

She consistently goes above and beyond, taking them on long, enjoyable walks and ensuring they get plenty of attention and playtime. Her dedication to their well-being is evident in their happy demeanor and wagging tails every time she arrives.
