“Kristen was wonderful! She took great care of our kitty while we were out of the country for about 2 weeks. We will definitely connect with her for any future needs as well.”

“I’m so glad I chose to book with Devinder! I’ve been blown away by his responsiveness, flexibility, communication, and clear love for pets :) He’s very professional, but also comes across like a friend who’s always down to help you out and care for your pets like they’re his own. I trust him with my pets for the long haul!”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our quirky dogs received! Catherine did a fantastic job and was incredibly patient with both of them, taking the time to understand their individual needs. She kept us updated throughout, so we always knew our pets were in good hands. We highly recommend Catherine!”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have cared for my own golden retriever, Sunny, since he was a puppy. Sunny is now 5 years old, well-behaved, and friendly with other pets. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, and creating a safe, loving environment for dogs of all temperaments. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I walk Sunny twice daily—morning and evening—and love spending time outdoors. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays. I live in a one-level ranch-style home with a fully fenced-in backyard, perfect for safe outdoor play. My home is quiet, clean, and pet-friendly. Sunny is gentle and social, making him a great companion for visiting pets. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their comfort and safety.
“Jasmine is the best. She takes care of my dog, Gabriel, as if she was her own. I don’t know how we would function without Jasmine! She communicates professionally and has let me know of issues I haven’t even recognized. I cannot recommend her more.”
“Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!”

“Camryn was so great and able to watch Elvis last minute for me ! She was so caring and made sure he was treated just as I would for her drop in. highly recommend , thank you !!”

About: I've grown up with lots of dogs in my house, and I've been sitting for over 6 years. From French Basset Hounds to Great Danes, I love taking care of dogs!! I am a 21 year old college student at VCU. As of right now, I have classes and club swim taking up my schedule, but I am available to walk and let out dogs during the week/weekend. I follow whatever instructions the owners give me. I always make sure the dogs I am looking after feel safe. Dogs have great emotional awareness, and my goal is to establish a sense of trust with the animal.
“Le’Yana has twice provided excellent care for our animals. She is communicative and reliable. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for quality petcare!”

“Kay was a wonderful cat sitter to our sweet girl. She was responsive, responsible, and connected well with our kitty Cleo. Would definitely recommend her to others!”

About: From pint-sized 5lb Yorkies with fabulous hair to giant 130lb Goldens with a fluffy tail. I’ve loved and cared for them all! I adapt to every pup’s vibe: ready to hit the trail for a run, wander the park for a sniff-filled stroll, or curl up under a cozy blanket for cuddle time. As a true outdoors lover, I’m happiest when tails are wagging, noses are twitching, and pups feel safe, loved, and spoiled. Pet care is part of my everyday life! I work from home MWF and off on the weekends , so your dog will have company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. My husband and I are active and love going on walks, exploring parks, and enjoying outdoor adventures. Perfect opportunities for your pup to join in on the fun. Whether it’s morning playtime, mid-day potty breaks, or evening strolls, we make sure pets are engaged, exercised, and happy. Of course, we also love cozy downtime, so there’s always space for blanket cuddles and belly rubs. Your dog will be treated like part of our family, with a balance of activity, companionship, and comfort. In your home, we stick to all your guidelines and expectations, making sure everything stays secure and exactly as we found it. At our house, we ask that pups are potty trained since we have carpet upstairs, but don’t worry, I work from home, so your dog can enjoy frequent trips to our fenced backyard for playtime, potty breaks, or fresh-air fun. Whether at your home or ours, your pup will get lots of love, attention, and wag-worthy adventures!
“Ashley was terrific with my cat Grace! Ashley clearly gave my cat the care and attention any pet owner would hope their pets receive while their owners are away!”

About: Hi, I’m Colby. I grew up with dogs and have been involved with them most of my life. For me, dogs have always been my best friends. I have over 25 years of experience working in animal shelters, pet-sitting, behavior training, walking, hiking and exercising dogs. I live in a home with my wife and our 8 year old black lab in a fully-fenced yard. I’ll only take one dog at a time, so your dog will be the center of my attention. Feel free to message me with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your dog. Great news for you: I don't have a full-time job so I have plenty of flexibility. I'm available throughout the day if your dog needs a meal, potty breaks, walks to the park, or just attention. I live in a fully-fenced, smoke free home welcome to animals! I have an extremely helpful wife, a black lab and 5 chickens. I provide updates and pictures as frequently as you prefer.

Kay did a great job checking in on our two cats. One of our cats has some medical needs and she did a good job administering medicine and being incredibly patient with her. She was a great communicator and we felt our girls were well taken care. Kay seems to really care for animals and we happily recommend her.

We love Rachel!! We’ve asked her to babysit several times now and it’s always a relief when she’s available. She takes the time to get our very shy kitties to warm up to her and was getting cuddles by the second visit. Knowing that we’d get feedback on how the cats were doing and that we’d get lots of (very cute and very good) pictures made it a little easier to leave—we knew they were in excellent hands. Thanks Rachel! 💛

We absolutely adore Sam. She always takes great care of our dogs and cat and goes above and beyond to check in with me about how they are doing in my absence. She is great giving medications and dealing with the special needs of my pets. Thank you so much Sam!
