“They were very happy to help out and take care of my anxious puppy, Patch, while my husband and I enjoyed our weekend vacation. They allowed a meet and greet before which was very helpful for Patch to get familiar with them and their house as well as my husband and I to feel very comfortable with them taking care of him. During the time, they provided updates and photos of how Patch was doing which helped ease our worry and focus on enjoying our vacation. They’re very nice, friendly, and caring people who cared for Patch as he was their own pet. We will definitely be using them again for future needs!”
“Shannon was an awesome sitter. From the moment of our initial phone conversation I knew I had found the right fit for Sophie. She kept in contact with us, also sent us pictures on how she was doing. I was able to have a relaxing trip knowing that Sophie was in a good environment. I am so happy we connected with Shannon.”

“I was so happy I found Linda and David. They spoiled my baby more than I did. LOL. But traveling without worrying about my puppy was such a relief. I received so many wonderful pictures and they even washed his bed for me. He made some friends and slept well. What a blessing they were and now, I will only call them when I need care for my baby. Thank you Linda & David.”
“The kennels are large & dogs seemed to enjoy themselves. Both my dogs were kept together which was nice. My boys seemed quite pleased in the photo sent to me during vacation. Will use again if needed.”

Brette provided daily updates and pictures, which alleviated any concerns I had about how Millie was dealing with being away from home, away from my Husband and me. Thank you Brette for taking such good care of our fur baby!!”
About: I always grew up with my own animals and knew I wanted to to be a veterinarian one day. When I was in high school I started my own dog walking business to make some money and then heard a doggy daycare was opening up in town. I was the first to apply! I worked there for a while until I started at a local veterinarian at 16. Now I am going into my second year of vet school and wanted a way to fill some of my free time. Due to my busy class schedule I only have a cat right now, so I really enjoy spending extra time with dogs! My goal is to adopt a pit bull mix by the end of vet school because they have a special place in my heart! Over the past seven years, I’ve had the privilege of working with animals in a variety of settings from general care to specialty medicine to emergency and my passion for them only continues to grow. I'm skilled in administering medications and injections, caring for both puppies and senior pets, assisting with more challenging or nervous animals, and understanding dog behavior and body language. During the summer I’m working two days a week at Virginia Tech's Veterinary Teaching Hospital so the rest of the time I can devote to pet sitting! Unfortunately, my schedule does change week to week. During the school year my schedule also varies as labs are different days/times every week, however, they are only two hours long so I am flexible for the rest of the day! I also keep my schedule up to date on Rover! I'm available most days. Just message me about times and I will get back to you as soon as possible! I currently live in an apartment. I have one cat and my roommate has a cat. They both do well with dogs and will mainly keep to themselves and stay in our rooms. We are trying to socialize them more to dogs to get them more comfortable for when we adopt one in the next year! In our apartment we have two floors so we can keep the animals together when we are home and then separate them with a baby gate when we go out. There is a large unfenced backyard behind my apartment that is a communal space and lots of walking trails around including the Huckleberry Trail!
“Holly took great care of my dog and my baby girl had a wonderful few days. My dog went to many places to play and there were many cute pictures. I appreciate it very much.”
“Kurt took great care of Pi. They took lots of walks and Pi seemed totally comfortable in the pictures. Kurt was flexible on the pickup schedule when our travel plans failed. I will definitely book with Kurt again.”
