House Sitting in Capahosic

“We were very nervous for this trip because this was the first time leaving our dogs with someone other than family. Linda was great and very reassuring. She sent us pictures throughout the day and gave us updates on how they were doing. My older dog doesn’t like strangers and Linda was able to come him down. During the two meetings before we went away, Linda remained calm and Koda warmed up to her pretty quickly. Both dogs seemed like they had a great time while we were away! Would 100% use Linda again and recommend her to others!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 12. I’ve worked on a farm caring for horses since I was a child. I’ve watched dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish for friends and neighbors. No animal is too small or large for me to love! I rescued my own dog three years ago and now have experience in R+ (positive reinforcement) training. I’d love to practice loose leash walking with your dog. I love taking my dog for long walks and hikes, if your dog likes company I’d love to take them together! I’m experienced in administering medicines, caring for puppies, and senior dogs. I work full time so I’m mostly available on weekends and weekday evenings. I have a car and can get myself anywhere in the Williamsburg area pretty easily. I’ll always do my best to make sure your pet is well taken care of. I understand dog’s body language, and am meticulous in making sure your pets needs are met.

About: I've taken care of my own pets and all of my friends and family pets. I've had almost everything from chinchillas, to guinea pigs, to leopard geckos, to a bearded dragon and of course cats and dogs! I dedicate my time to my pet care and dog training so outside of running errands and my dog training appointments, my time is pretty open! I have experience with animal handling from my various jobs involving animals such as being a dog groomer and dog trainer. I can even handle dogs who don't get along and need to be crated and rotated.

About: I’ve had experience with rescue animals in my home since my childhood. I began working as a pet sitter and dog walker (babysitter as well!) at 14, which has always been my favorite job! I was able to get a job as a kennel assistant in a veterinary clinic at 16 and worked my way up to a veterinary assistant position. I have dealt with administering medication and other veterinary procedures, and dealing with more special care required animals. I’m a college student taking online and in person courses through the local community college, so I have a pretty open schedule. Working a traditional job in college can be quite stressful, so I’m giving this a try! I have been working in other people’s homes for several years babysitting and pet sitting. I’m happy to clean dishes, take out trash, carry in mail and packages, and any other simple tasks. I always try my best to clean after myself and the fur babies each visit!

“I highly recommend Alaina for overnight, in-home pet-sitting. She stayed in my home to watch my adult reactive dog for three days. I received consistent, proactive updates throughout her stay on how my dog was doing and what he was up to without me needing to ask. She even let me know when he had positive experiences with triggers. My dog has a strict routine because of his behavioral problems, and she kept him on his routine very closely and made sure to let me know ahead of time if/when her schedule conflicted with accommodating his normal routine. Upon my return, it is clear that she took good care of my home and space as well as my dog. He has been his normal self ever since I returned from my trip, which was a huge concern for me. I definitely trust that Alaina can provide quality care for reactive and nervous dogs and would recommend her services to any potential clients with such dogs and related concerns.”

“Zari was fabulous and our dogs love her. She over communicated and was sure to send pupdates and pictures often. She was clean and respectful, and we look forward to many more beagle sits with Zari.”

“Nacho and Mia loved having Hope stay with them. There was good communication and a quick response when we initially reached out. The home was left exactly as we left it, and overall, there is nothing but positives to say. Our pets were well cared for and happy. We will hire Hope again.”

Melissa M.

“Everything went very smoothly with Victoria taking care of our 14 year old dog and 4 year old cat. The request was made just days before we had to leave town for a family situation. Victoria was prompt responding to my initial request. She arrived promptly for a meet and greet, our dog loved her and our cat actually came out of hiding the second day and hung out with her! Victoria immediately put our minds to rest about using a new pet sitter so last minute. She kept us updated on how the kids were doing while we were away and left our house looking perfect when we arrived home. We will definitely contact her when we travel again.”
