3. Lyra & Scott H.


“Lyra and Scott (and their kids) are terrific! Our little Sushi clearly had a great time spending the day with them. Throughout the process they were friendly, accommodating and professional. Communication was great, both before and during Sushi’s stay. We were only in Williamsburg for a couple of days on a road trip. But when we come back this way, we will definitely ask them to hang out with Sushi again! Thank you so much, guys! 🐶❤️”

9. John H.
About: Ever since I was 8 I have always had a dog. They are truly our best friends and deserve the best we can give them. When I take care of a dog they become a part of my family and they will get all the love, attention, and play time they need. Your pet will never be alone when they stay with me. They will always have attention and be looked over. They will be able to go out every 2-4hours during the day. We live right across the street home the community's dog park and have a huge open space in the middle of the complex for outside time. In the house your pet will be treated like ours, allowed on furniture and the bed (if you allow it) and will be taken outside every 2 - 4 hours.


10. Sarah H.
About: Been a pet groomer for over 16 years! I’ve pet sat for clients before. I have also administered insulin to diabetic pets when pet sitting! I work from home so I’m around pretty much all the time. I will take afternoon walks. I like to be outside, in the evenings my family and I will be in the back yard playing. We have a pyrndoodle who Loves to play, we sadly lost our other family dog 3 years ago. We have enjoyed pet sitting. It has helped fill a void. We went this route because we saw how hurt our other dog was and we didn’t want to get a new dog and have the same thing happen to them. This has been a great way for our dog to have fun! I have a fenced in yard. We let our dog out 3-4 times a day, as well as a walk a day to help keep his joints healthy.


11. Ethel S.
“Ethel is a wonderful friend who became family. She cared for my disabled senior pug for over a year until he passed away. She is so kind and gentle. She really went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. She really helped give him the best quality of life he could have ever wanted.”
