House Sitting in Blacksburg

“Alicia was great! Very respectful and communicated well. We felt comfortable having her dog-sit and house-sit for our two large dogs (who can be a handful at times.) We definitely will reach back out to her for help again this year.”

“Denise was great with our golden retriever. She kept us in the loop with pictures and texts. Will definitely book her again for Finley!! Very dependable and could even tell she stayed at the house.”

Troy M.

“Kaitlyn was wonderful! She sent great photos and kept me updated on everything!”

“Amari was so great with our dog! He doesn’t like new people coming in the house but she came and met him before our trip to help ease that, and was so patient with him. Amari sent updates and pictures and we could tell our dog was happy and enjoying his new friend. I’d love to have her back in our home any time!”

About: I’ve been around and taking care of dogs since I was 7. I grew up training all of our puppies and continuing to love them now at their old age. I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of large/medium to small. I’m currently a full time college student. Available to sit weekdays and weekends. As well as walks during the day. Most of my mornings are free and afternoons as well. I enjoy spending my free time with animals, last year I spent a lot of time at the animal shelter hanging out with dogs and cats! I am able to come to your home, in you and your dogs/cats environment to keep your animals company, safe, and well loved while you’re away.

“Claudia and Mario were great sitters, our dog loved them! They sent pictures to let us know how she was doing and she seemed to be doing great when we got back. We would definitely rebook with them in the future!”

“Jessie took great care of our fur babies and our home! She was very communicative, responsive and showed she cared. We will definitely be asking her to sit for us again!”

“Frankie Bean had another great stay with Kayla! Fantastic, proactive communication and regular updates and pictures from Kayla were so appreciated. Kayla took great care of both Frankie and the house while I was away. Great sitter!!”

“Thanks for looking after the house and critters while I was out of town! Everything was in great shape when I got back, and the cats seemed happy. Appreciate it!”

About: I've had many animals in my household ever since I can remember, and I know first-hand how our four-legged friends need to be cared for as members of the family. It's important to give pets the love and care they need, and I will ensure your animal(s) are properly tended to during your family's absence! I care for pets in between classes, during my free time, and at night for house sitting! I have a lot of evening and morning availability, and I'm free on most weekends. I've had experience caring for small, medium, and big dogs, along with cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, and even a bearded dragon. I ensure they are all fed and taken outside (if needed) under a consistent schedule. Also, don't worry about them being alone and bored, as I absolutely LOVE playing and being with any animals!

“Anisa did a wonderful job! She was very communicative and was very easy to work with!”

Robert M.

“Karissa was amazing! She took great care of my pups! She was always in constant communication with us by sending us updates and pictures. I definitely recommend Karissa!”

Bridgett B.

“We just moved to the area and put our trust in Shelby to take care of our older dog. She did not disappoint and longingly cared for our dog and home. Thanks for loving our Bodie!”

Becky E.

“I was amazed at how quickly Chauncey (our rescue dachsshnd) warmed up the Nancye. She has this innate ability to know a dog and his needs, placing that as top priority. She texted with pictures often, I left home for a much needed few days away without a worry at all. HIGHLY recommend and feel sure we'll want Nancye to pet/house sit for us again--SOON!”

Betty K.

“Noah was gret to our cat. He gave him the attention he needed while we were away. He stayed in touch and even sent us some photos. He was also very courteous and even stripped the bed that he stayed in for us so there was one less thing we had to worry about when we got home from our vacation. Highly recommend Noah and would book again.”

Coad F.

“Kelly was great with the Dogs. She sent lots of pictures and videos. All 3 dogs seemed happy, and I was comforted knowing Kelly was attending to their schedule and needs.”

Chrystal J.

“First time working with Madison and she was fantastic! Very communicative, really went above and beyond, and clearly loved my doggo. I hope to be able to work with her again!”

Amy M.

“Kevin did a great job taking care of our dog. He answered our text messages immediately and sent requested photos. He left the house spotless.”

About: I am passionate about dogs and have been my whole life! I’ve had the privilege of raising three dogs from puppyhood all the way through their golden years, so I have hands-on experience with every stage of a dog’s life, from the zoomies, the training, and to the senior snuggles. My sweet pup is back home in Colorado, and honestly, I’m hoping to get some dog time in while im in Virginia. Your fur baby will be in caring, experienced hands! I’m currently pursuing my PhD at VT, so my schedule revolves around research and the occasional class. My hours are very felxible, which means I’m rarely locked into a rigid 9-to-5. During the school year I typically have 1-2 classes, but outside of that my time is largely my own. That flexibility means I can easily work pet care into my daily routine, whether it’s midday walks, regular check-ins, or just making sure your pet has consistent company throughout the day. Safety is my top priority whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours! Unless there’s a securely fenced yard, dogs are always on leash, no exceptions. Before leaving any space, I do a thorough safety sweep to make sure nothing is within reach that could be chewed, swallowed, or knocked over. I’m also extremely vigilant about doors and escape routes, my own cats are certified escape artists, so I’ve become a pro at making sure no sneaky paws slip out unnoticed! You can trust that your pet’s environment will be secure, supervised, and set up for their safety.
