“Jessica was great! Followed all instructions we left, was communicative, and took lots of pics. I appreciate her hanging out with my pup. Will be using her services again. 10/10. :)”
“Erin did a fantastic job watching my cat while I was gone on the weekend. She carefully followed all of my instructions and asked questions if she wasn't sure of something. She sent me pictures of my cat both days I was gone. I think she has a nice way with animals and will use her again. Convenient having her in Huntersville.”
“This was our first time having Jeffrey do drop ins for our three wild kids and he was AMAZING! Great communication, super professional, loved on our doggos just like we would!”
“Damacia did a nice job taking care of our kitties. He was punctual and professional. He communicated when he would be at our house and when he left. He also took pictures of our kitties which was nice. I would recommend him for sure.”
“Highly recommend Elizabeth! She was great with Huey and sent me updates and photos everyday :) Huey was so happy when I came home, and I know that's because he had a great time with his new friend, haha! Would use her again, for sure.”
“Ashley was amazing and so helpful, flexible, and punctual. My dog Gryffin adores her and we are so grateful for someone to take care of him that we can depend on!”
“Jordan is an absolute gem. We hire her every time we are out of town and our cats (one of whom has get a get an insulin shot very 12 hours) are so well cared for. 10/10, definitely book her!”
“Teresa was excellent with my large, often anxious, cat Sherlock. Upon my return I found a happy Sherlock with none of the usual stress symptoms. Teresa also communicated frequently and sent photos of all the snuggles and other antics Sherlock got up to each day. It was great to see my cat happy while I was away!”
About: I treat every dog or cat as if it’s my own. I will love on them all day long. I have a mini aussie so I’m very used to high energy dogs and keeping them entertained. I’ve taken care of all different types of breeds from small pups to large pups and I love them all. I’m very comfortable with all dogs whether they’re playful or shy. I have a pretty flexible schedule during the week. I work during the weekdays as a babysitter assisting with after school care, but get off at 6. Other than work or maybe an occasional doctors appointment, I’m free plenty throughout the day to watch your pup. I really enjoy spending quality time with dogs and want to create a safe, comfortable, environment for them to be in. I love to be able to socialize your dog with others and take them to the dog park or on walks on nature trails. Depending on what your dog’s typical schedule is, I can always accommodate it.
“Audrina took great care of our needy cat giving her several medications, and did great on her first time taking blood sugar and giving insulin! She brought in our packages and let us know if there were problems with the house while we were gone.”
About: When in the care of my partner and I, pets are enriched and have plenty of opportunity for activity. If your dog enjoys swimming, I can take them to a nearby creek to play. I have a large yard for playing fetch, or just hanging out, and a spunky lab mix that is happy to play tug-o-war. I've always had dogs and cats, and for a short time, pet rats (they're lovely!). I come from a long line of animal lovers and continue that legacy. You can check out my pets’ Instagram at @mystic_whiskers_ I am very attentive to animals and put them at ease so they settle into their home away from home. I have a flexible job that allows me to work from home, so I am flexible with pick-up and drop-off times unless otherwise communicated. I am in RVA most weekends as well. I have a fenced backyard and a dog and 2 cats. The cats have been around other dogs, and Eddy the dog loves other dogs- he has lots of energy to share!
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.
“Kim was a wonderful sitter for our cat! She came by to have a meet and greet, which is always comforting before leaving your pet alone. She was very professional, polite and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend her for any and all pet sitting needs!”
“Fergus (our cat) loves Virginia. He never purrs for anyone the way he purrs for her. When we got home today after being away for several days, my husband heard Fergus meowing through the door before we entered and said to me, "I pretty sure he's meowing 'Virginia! Virginia!' He's going to be so disappointed that it's us!" Virginia is great with Fergus, very kind to us, and has been just a perfect pet sitter.”
About: As an adoring mother to my dog and 2 cats whose pets are her prized angels and actual children, I understand how important it is to know that your pets are being well taken care of. I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life and also volunteer at the SPCA in my spare time so I have experience with a wide range of care needs, temperaments, sizes, and energy levels of different cats and dogs! I am currently available all day on sundays mondays and tuesdays for walks and drop in’s, play time or chill time, whatever your pet needs :) I am super committed to treating your pet with the same love and care that I would my own, whether I’m just dropping in for a little play time or taking them for a long walk :)
