Kayla did a fantastic job! She was a great communicator and responded quickly to inquiries. She asked very thoughtful and responsible questions about both the dog and the house at our meet and greet. She dog sat for over a week and did such a great job of getting Frankie out regularly, playing with her, and just generally showing her lots of love! Frankie was happy and healthy on our return (and the house was in great shape too!)! We'd happily use Kayla again!

We booked Aubrei to watch our cat, Finn, for a week over Christmas and could not be happier with our experience! Aubrei truly went above and beyond to take the best care of our fur baby. We are always anxious about leaving him, but Aubrei sent frequent pictures and updates so we felt completely at ease. Finn took a few days to warm up to someone new, but Aubrei was super diligent about encouraging him and making him feel comfortable. She is kind, reliable, communicative, and clearly has a special ability to connect with animals. We highly recommend Aubrei and can’t wait to book with her again!

Jason is recommended to care for your dogs and/or puppies. He was very responsive in communication, and timely with many visits for my puppy and adult dog. Taking on "puppy sitting" for a pre-house trained dog for 2 nights/days is a big ask, with frequent visits, and late night/early morning care for the puppy, and he was up to the task and did not disappoint. My pups were happy and healthy upon our return and the house was left clean (I'm sure there was a puppy accident or two, naturally). I will look for his availability again next time we need in home care. Thanks, Jason!

About: I have taken care of dogs within my household for 15 years now, with the additional walking & house sitting for neighbors! I recently started pet walking & sitting in Blacksburg this year and have had such a blast! As an incoming vet student this fall, I will bring an expertise and view that will be beneficial for the pet in their environment and for the owners. I am so motivated to support owners with their schedules by sitting or walking! I’m currently working part-time throughout the summer, and have time within the day to complete walks for your pets! I am also available to pet sit in-home for you if needed; preferably not Monday-Wednesday, but I am flexible! I always start off my sessions with building a connection with the pet prior. If possible, I like to meet prior to needing my services to socialize myself with the pet, so that trust can be gained. Once this is done, I love to play with the pets and cuddle them so that they feel secure! I love taking photos of the pets during walks to send to the owners, as this reassures them!

About: I have volunteered at the animal shelter since I was 14 years old. I have taken care of my friends and family's pets. These pets have included cats, dogs, and guinea pigs. I have experience taking care of and raising kittens. I used to foster cats. I am also pursuing a career as a veterinarian. I am a full-time student with most of my classes in the morning. I should have plenty of time to look after your pets in the afternoons or weekends! I take precautions when I am in someone else's home. I will monitor the pet(s) closely to make sure that they do not get injured.

All I ask is for you to let me know of any specifications regarding your pets! I am a new VT graduate with a degree in Public Health. I am also a full-time server looking for an extra side hustle. My schedule varies with my job so my availability will change weekly, but I can be flexible with my hours! I unfortunately cannot have pets in my complex, but I am perfectly comfortable watching at the client's home. Overnight stays will depend, just send me a message!

Brandon is on his way to vet school, and after seeing how naturally he connects with animals, it’s easy to see why. He has an incredible ability to make pets feel safe and comfortable—both of our dogs took to him almost immediately, which is no small feat! He’s calm, patient, and clearly passionate about animals. Beyond that, he’s everything you’d want in someone caring for your pets: trustworthy, respectful, a great communicator, and extremely responsible. We always felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in his care. Brandon is the kind of person you can count on, and any pet would be lucky to have him around. Highly recommended!

I can't say enough good things about Emaan! She's seriously amazing with our baby Goldendoodle. We've had her do everything from quick walks to overnight stays, and she's always fantastic. Our pup absolutely loves her - it's like she has this magical touch with animals. What I really appreciate is how patient and gentle Emaan is. She's super responsible too, which gives us total peace of mind when we're away. It's such a relief to have someone we can always count on for pet care. If you're looking for a pet sitter, I'd recommend Emaan in a heartbeat. She's been a real lifesaver for us!

Taylor has always been a strong animal lover. She gets along great with all animals especially dogs and cats. All of the dogs and cats i have seen her be around there has never been a problem and it has always been an amazing interaction on both parts.
