“Vanessa was great! I received a lot of pictures and updates which was greatly appreciated. She was timely with the drop in visits and I felt comfortable with her taking of my 2 cats. Will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Rachael was GREAT! She communicated with us throughout and gave our kitties all the love! I had such great peace and was able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were in good care!”
“Andrew is absolutely incredible!! We had to go out of town last minute and needed someone for our big rescue who still needs lots of training and care. His experience and general knowledge with all types of breeds made me feel so comfortable leaving our Millie in his care. He left great updates for every visit and ensured that she got good exercise and kept to her more recent training. Andrew will definitely be our go-to and on call guy for all stop ins and walks!”
About: I've been caring for dogs (and cats) since I was 5. I have owned many animals in my adult life and cared for and loved them with everything I had. I now have three grand dogs and two grand kitties, that I love dearly and care for when my children have to be away from them. I have cared for many dogs over the years for family and friends. Currently I only work part time so have plenty of time for your beloved pets. I travel every other weekend to southern Virginia to visit my children and grandchildren and of course my grand dogs and cats. I can care for your dog or cat in your home, walk them, feed them, provide potty breaks and lots of cuddles. Overnight care in your home is acceptable to me.
“I found Tara earlier this year, as I wanted someone local to check on my kittens while I was away. She did a few days in October and then recently did 9 days while I was out in Asia on a trip. She showed up every day and did what was asked, as well as going the extra mile by bringing my mail and packages in.”
“Brandy did a great job with our cats, taking care of their needs, and ensuring they had toys available for entertainment while we were gone. Brandy is definitely our preferred sitter!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Jessica put us right at ease. She’s a compassionate animal lover and even with our not-so-friendly older cat, she knew how to interact (or not interact) to make her feel calm. Jessica did everything we asked and more,plus she kept us clued in to everything Winnie was up to while we were away. We will definitely have Jessica as a sitter again! Gave us great peace of mind.”
“Ashley is a great pet sitter and a very good communicator. She kept us up to date with plenty of pics each visit and gave our kitty Oliver lots of love. Oh, and she also brought in our Amazon packages, which was super helpful.”

About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes! I have a little dachshund named steel who is a couch potato with the occasional zoomies as well as a 6 year old son who loves anything furry and sweet. I work 8:30-3 but only 7 mins from home and can pop in on my lunch if needed. Otherwise home and ready to play with fur babies I do not have a fenced in yard but do have space where they could get their zoomies out. Welcome to be on furniture and even better if they snuggle my kiddo in bed.
About: Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I currently work full time, so this would be a part time weekend position for me. I can work from Friday afternoon-Sunday afternoon. We can discuss other details if you need more days. -**Feeding:** Follow a specific feeding schedule based on the pet's needs. Ensure they have access to clean, fresh water at all times. - **Exercise:** Provide adequate physical activity according to the pet's breed and energy level.

Dashia D.
“Dashia has cared for my pets for 5 years! I had a dog who was very over protective and she managed to become good friends with him and she was the only person that could care for him. We then brought in 2 more dogs to the family and they came with very needy request from vocal whiners to skin allergies. Needless to say, Dashia took care of them like her own. She’ll update me with pictures of their crazy sleeping positions on the couch which is a plus. I am glad to have her and I refuse to take my dogs to a boarding to facility where are they’re locked up in kennels and sit on concrete.”
