Top rated Blue Ridge house sitters
“Van was fantastic with our two dogs while we were on a short weekend trip. The dogs really seemed to like her. She provided ample photos of the activities while we were away. She was respectful of our home and super communicative. Definitely plan to use her again for future dog sitting needs!”
“Melissa took excellent care of our pup while we were out of town. She provided updates, followed care instructions, and we returned to a tidy home. She also made us feel at ease when our dog was stung by a bee while playing in the yard, and was diligent in watching for any symptoms and keeping us updated. We highly recommend Melissa!!”
“Minerva was great! She housesitted for us over Labor Day weekend, and all communications were so clear and easy. I felt very comfortable leaving Mochi in her care. Mochi looked like he was having a great time with her in all the pictures.”
“Jason was absolutely fabulous with our old man MoMo. He was super communicative and my dog was a happy old man when I returned. The house was spotless. Would definitely hire Jason again, especially with an older dog who I am always nervous about leaving.”
“Justin provided great care for our two older dogs, and left the house in great shape. We appreciated his regular communication and attention to detail.”
“Elle was such a professional, she asked plenty of questions during our consultation that I knew I was leaving my two pups in good hands. Our senior dog has mobility issues and she took great care of him as well as our other dog. We received updates and they both look well cared for. She also took excellent care of the house while on our trip. Would definitely book her again.”
“Davied is an ideal guardian for your canine beloved. I was able to leave the country and be off grid in perfect security that my pooch would be taken care of. What else could you want? Davied is considerate, responsive and in all ways responsible. And he loves your pets and sends pictures that comfort you. Ahhhh. I am so appreciative.”
“Rae did such a great job taking care of Elvis! She was very responsive, took lots of photos and followed all the directions. She even took care of house items like checking our mail, removed the bedding and wiped down the surfaces before heading out. Highly recommend her if she’s available for you!”
“Myranda did an amazing job watching Sunny. We got updates on how he was doing and when we came home we could see how happy and relaxed he was. We know he was really well looked after. And Myranda did a great job keeping our house in order. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely book with her again next time we travel. Thank you Myranda!”
“We’ve had to transition to in-home care for an anxious, senior dog who doesn’t like staying in other people’s houses. I was nervous at first, but the whole process was smooth with Kymberly. She took really good care of our 2 dogs - one who needs exercise and one who can’t exercise much any more. We got lots of updates while we were away and I never once stressed about them. I’m so relieved to have found a good dog sitter!”
“Rebecca is an exceptional pet sitter who my dog felt an immediate safe connection with. She is communicative, friendly and flexible with her schedule, prioritizing my dog’s care while I went on a quick business trip. She ensures both me and my dog feel comfortable. I’m looking forward to her house sitting again :-)”
“Amanda was just fantastic! She took care of my dog (Coton de Tuléar), cat (Balinese) and plants for a weekend, and did everything I asked so beautifully. My pets warmed up with her very quickly, which shows her kind and loving personality. Also, I was very impressed to see how clean the house was. I will definitely ask her again.”
“Jolene is awesome, she was well prepared with details about toby. She is a creative person and it was awesome to see her draw Toby! Toby loved her!!”
“Carley was a great find for us! She house sat with our two cats and large dog for 10 days. Carley's communications and response time were excellent. The animals were so happy when we retuned and the house was just as we left it. The photos and videos Carley shared told the tale of a peaceful and playful home. We had a complication with our travel and had to ask her to stay longer. Lucky for us she had availably. Traveling outside the country and leaving our animals behind can be a bit stressful but our experience with Carley housesitting eased our worries. We had the best experience having Charley house sit and care for our pets.”
“Jill took wonderful care of our 2 dogs while we were out of town for a week long vacation. She communicated well and often with photos & updates. We came home to happy and well-cared for pups. Highly recommend!”
“Liz took amazing care of my 4-year old Basenji. Liz is easy to coordinate with, communicative, and reliable. She left the apartment in perfect condition. Would hire again without hesitation!”
“Kristy was phenomenal!! My dog, Mochi, was clearly very well taken care of, along with my house. Kristy provided multiple updates throughout the day, was very thorough in her questions about care, and was always responsive. Mochi can be quite reactive to other dogs and Kristy did a great job managing this and letting him have fun on walks. It was truly so nice to have peace of mind during my time away - including over 4th of July! Will be booking again for sure and would highly recommend : )”
“Yasmin was amazing! We had some last minute changes and she was so accommodating. Our senior dog was so happy and completely herself when we returned which hasn’t always been the case with dog sitters. We will definitely have Yasmin stay with Jozi again.”
“Paula was such a great sitter, providing much loved quality time with my dog. Really appreciated the photos, silly updates and close communication. Thank you Paula!”

Ruby was phenomenal. This was my second time booking her for house sitting while I was away on a trip, and her reliability and communication gave me complete peace of mind. I was able to fully enjoy my time away knowing everything was being taken care of. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable house sitter.
Jessica has house sit and dog sit for us two times. She did a great job both times. Our dog can be anxious, but he has really warmed up to her. She does a great job keeping our dog active and getting lots of exercise. She is also very responsive to any questions we have, and provides daily updates and photos of our dog. Our family had to change some travel plans, and we appreciate Jessica being flexible. We are very happy with Jessica's service, and would definitely book her again for dog and house sitting!
Yasmin was wonderful and responsive! I'm very picky with who I have watch Koda, but I could tell immediately Yasmin would be a great fit. She understands dog behavior and knows how to deal with older dogs and those who have resource guarding tendencies. When we got home it seemed like it was also tidied up. The usual husky hair wasn't covering my floor, so I'm assuming she clean the floors, which was above and beyond. She's wonderful and I can only hope to have her come back to watch Koda in the future!
Maggie was AMAZING! I came home to the happiest dogs and she took such great care of them as well as the apartment. I left instructions, which she followed perfectly, on top of her wonderful foundation of knowledge and care. I’d be lucky to have her care for my dogs again! I’ll also note, one of my dogs is a 1 year Great Dane that can require extra patience, etc. and she had no complaints or hesitations - just love for the pups!
We absolutely love having Brent housesit for Soji. Our little Pomeranian, Soji, can be quite awkward and particular with people, but he warmed up to Brent so fast and I can see just in the photos how much he likes Brent and is happy with his company and care. Brent has housesat and dogsat a couple times now and he takes great care of Soji and leaves the house tidy when we return. I appreciate that he sends photos/videos daily - it’s a great little treat to get while traveling and the photos alone let me know how things are going. Brent is a great communicator and will ask questions if needed and responds very quickly to any messages I send. I trust Soji is in great caring hands while we are away. Brent also has become our go-to dog walker for those long workdays and he’s gotten Soji to explore more and build his confidence on walks. I would not hesitate to recommend Brent for dog sitting or dog walking to anyone I know; he’s great!
