House Sitting Blue Ridge

“I am so pleased Trina kept my very spoiled poochon! She stayed at my house and slept with her, played with her and walked her. She left my home neat and probably cleaner. I believe she is very special and I am pleased to give her a rating of five stars plus and my dog will agree!!!”

“Sharon was great with our harley she helped out with walking her and getting her use to going out at night again. Sharon kept us informed of everything that was going on with harley and how she was doing and sent us pics. We will definitely use her again.”

Michele C.

“She kept on top of my dogs’ changing needs and kept me in the loop so the week away didn’t feel quite as worrying! And we returned to the house even more tidy than we left it, which was a lovely surprise!”

“Great sitter for our two spoiled dogs! We were on an international trip and Zoe was very flexible and able to do overnights which eased our minds with a 14 week old puppy. Will use again!”

“Ashley was wonderful! She was easy to communicate with, very responsive, and sent regular updates of our girls which we always appreciate. We’ll definitely rebook with her!”

“I can’t recommend Valerie enough! She watched my dog, for 3 days and did an amazing job. Hope can be a little particular with her routine and has some hip issues, but Valerie was so caring and attentive — she followed all my instructions perfectly and made sure Hope was comfortable, happy, and well-loved the whole time. Valerie kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Hope felt safe and cared for, and I really appreciate how responsible and thoughtful Valerie was with every detail, from playtime to feeding to making sure Hope didn’t overdo it on the stairs. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Valerie again — she’s trustworthy, kind, and truly treats your pet like her own. Thank you so much, Valerie, for taking such wonderful care of Hope!”

About: Owned a dog since forever. Currently have 2 shelties-3yrs and 1yrs old. But have taken care of dogs all breeds, sizes, ages, and stages of life. I am currently taking a break from my career to reset, recharge, and just enjoy life with my 2 young Shelties. Daily we walk, run, play. It is part of our life. Cat wise my cats care is part of our daily routine. I spoil them and have cat trees in windows for them to watch the neighborhood and provide them with all their favorite toys. Walking and drop in service wise- let me know times, dates, ways to enter the house. If able I would love to bring my dogs to join. If not that is fine. I am willing to walk as much and as long as needed. Drop in share what you need and I will help. I can also give medications if needed.

“Peyton was a wonderful house/dog sitter. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and kept me informed daily of what was going on, as well as sending pictures and videos of my dog. She left the house pristine, emptied the trash, washed the sheets and towels, collected my mail, etc. I was very relaxed on my trip knowing that she was handling things well at home. I couldn’t be more pleased, and I would not hesitate to hire her again.”

“Excellent caregiver and provided timely updates. We have two needy dogs of different sizes and she was great with both of them. Would work with again.”

About: I love caring for dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I’m patient with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always follow feeding schedules, provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention so every dog feels at home. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week, including weekends. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m happy to work with different schedules and last-minute bookings whenever possible I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, I take dogs on regular walks for exercise, potty breaks, and fresh air. I also provide plenty of attention, playtime, and follow the pet’s normal feeding schedule and routines. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and at home while their owners are away.

“Had a little difficulty with figuring out the schedule at first, but that was sorted out quickly. My dog had a health issue and Steve was very helpful in managing this and very patient with our pup.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years and have a lifelong love for animals. As a dog owner myself with two dogs at home, I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your pets the same way you do. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, potty breaks, exercise, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also know how reassuring it is to receive updates, so I’ll send photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay or visit to give you peace of mind. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I currently do work full time but I do create my own schedule and am pretty flexible so we can work around the hours needed for you and your pet! I do currently have two male dogs who are 8 and 9 years old. They both are very friendly and very playful. They play with puppies and older dogs very well and they’re very diverse with sizes of dogs who they are around. If your dog is aggressive to other male dogs, this won’t be a good fit for you. However, i’m happy to have an introduction to make sure everyone is comfortable. We tend to take a lot of walks and play ball in the yard throughout the day. During the summer we swim in the pop up pool we have for the boys and get the zooms out!

“Carsyn is very communicative, left the house super clean, and my old dog very happy. I enjoyed the photos and how respectable she was of our space.”

Symone D.

“Amazing is the best word I have to describe Siara. My Anna did so good with Siara. My house was just as it was when I left. She took great care of my senior dog with walks. Lots of lots of love and attention. I would highly recommend her 10 out of 10.”

Stacy W.

“Justine is so amazing with our pup. We use her every time we need someone to stay at our place when we travel. Justine is so lovely to work with and Hattie loves spending time with her!”

About: I’ve worked as a vet assistant for the past 5 years. I currently pet sit regularly for 5+ individuals. I’ve grown up with multiple pets of my own, from fish and 10 pound doggies to my two Great Danes and a couple cows! I am currently working as needed so I have a lot of time to take care of your babies! I’m always super flexible and can almost always be there in a pinch! I will always make sure your pets are protected and safe. I will do things the exact way you want them done. Your house will be left as I found it and all happy little accidents will be cleaned up without a trace!

About: I am a caring and dependable pet sitter who has always loved animals. I have my own dog who I love and care for very much, so I understand how important pets are to their families. I also previously worked at a dog kennel, where I gained experience feeding, bathing, cleaning up after, and caring for dogs of all different sizes and personalities. I would treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine because I take care of my own dog and cat at home. Every day I make sure they are fed, have fresh water, and get the attention they need. I also walk my dog and spend time playing with both of them so they stay active and happy. Because I’m used to doing this regularly, taking care of other pets fits naturally into my weekly schedule. I care for pets by making sure they are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of while their owner is away. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walking, playtime, and any other needs the pet may have. I also give pets attention and patience so they feel calm and cared for. When caring for a client’s home, I treat it with respect by keeping things clean, locking doors, and making sure everything is left the way I found it. My goal is to make both the pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident in my care.

About: I love all animals! I have been pet-sitting since I was in elementary school. I currently have two tuxedo cats, one of which has to be given medicine twice a day, so I am comfortable with medication administration. I recently graduated from Physician Associate School and I am waiting for the credentialing process to be completed before starting my job! So i have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I care for every pet as if they were my own while also respecting each client’s home, routines, and instructions. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive any approved medications, get appropriate exercise and potty breaks, and have plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep their environment clean by tidying food areas, cleaning up accidents, and maintaining litter boxes or other pet spaces as needed.
