“Meghan was absolutely wonderful and took great care of my pups! They were all very well loved and cared for while I was gone. She was very communicative and sent me daily pictures and updates.”
“Jasmine was exactly what we needed! Trustworthy and communicative, she took care of our home and pets (🐕 🦎), sending daily updates and pictures. We'll definitely call on her again!”
“Oli was wonderful! We have a reactive dog who is nervous meeting new people but she warmed up to Oli quickly. Oli checked in often with photos of the pups and left everything in good order.”
“Averi took excellent care of our dog Rocco and our home while we were away for a long weekend! She was very accommodating and Rocco was so relaxed when we got home! 10/10!”
“We very much appreciated Emily! I was very nervous to leave our two dogs with a new person as we have one older dog who requires extra attention due to a medical condition. Emily met with us beforehand to go over our routine and then I sent her my "instructions" before we left. She followed their routine and kept us up to date on the dogs. It helped to know the dogs were well taken care of - glad to have found someone to watch our dogs when we have to be away!”
“Danielle was amazing. She sent a ton of photos and kept me updated throughout the stay. My dogs loved snuggling with her and were so happy and well cared for. Will definitely use her again!”
“Aidan was great! I left my anxious hound dog, Dean, in his care over a long weekend. He was very responsive, and proactive about sending updates with adorable pictures. Dean does not warm up to everyone, but was so sad when Aidan left and was stuck with me again. I'll be using him again in the future.”
“Hollie is great! She keeps me updated and I can tell she cares about my animals. My house is always exactly as I left it. I will definitely continue to hire her!”
“Really prompt and super understanding with some last minute issues. Dogs were perfectly content and the house was exactly as I left it. Would def recommend Alex!”
“Kyla was so incredible! She sent frequent updates throughout the weekend and gave me such peace of mind while I was away from my pet! Can't recommend her enough!”
“Rachel was amazing! She helped with our dogs while we were gone for the weekend, and both dogs (and our cat) loved her and were so excited to see her. She stayed in communication with us the entire weekend and sent great pictures with updates. She followed all the instructions we left. Both dogs have terrible separation anxiety, but they didn’t seem to miss a beat while we were gone. Would definitely recommend!”
“Kyle took great care of my pup over the weekend. He made sure my dog’s normal routine was followed and spent lots of time giving him attention. Would recommend and will be booking again in the future.”
“Rachel was fantastic with our pets!! She sent numerous pics and was always extremely communicative of her schedule. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Melanie! She took such amazing care of my Frenchie while I was away. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves dogs and knew exactly how to handle my pup’s quirky personality and needs. I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which totally put my mind at ease. My Frenchie came back happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little spoiled—in the best way! I’m so grateful for the love and attention they gave. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again!”

“Catherine is just amazing! I can't say enough. She is so kind and caring with Bear! We are so comfortable leaving town knowing Bear is being cared for by Cat. She sends the best pics and updates every day. And the house is spotless as well! Truly Cat is a gem in RVA!! Thank you Cat!!”
“Thank you David for providing such excellent care and safety for our sweet Gigi. I appreciate the pictures you sent daily and keeping me informed how she was doing. Thank you for taking her on walks. I really appreciate you keeping the house in excellent order. David even changed the guestroom bed linens and washed the sheets. He went above and beyond expectation I would definitely rehire David.”
“Third times a charm! Amber is our go to first choice for watching our pup and house when we go out of town. Now that her and my pup Cleo are friends, Cleo gets so excited to see Amber come through the door. As always she took great care of our pup, sent tons of pictures, washed sheets, and left the house very clean! We will continue to request her time & again 😎”
“Kaitlyn did a great job caring for our bloodhound and cat, and took wonderful care of our home while we were away. Our dog can be very anxious and she seemed at ease and very comfortable when we came home, leaving me confident she’d been in great hands while we were away.”
