Linda was a fantastic sitter for Shadow and we will definitely use her again when we travel. She kept us very well informed and sent pictures daily. She even washed the sheets and towels used which was an added surprise. It was great to travel worry free with Linda’s care of our girl. Highly recommended and appreciated.

Briar did an excellent job bonding with my shy spaniel Lita, and what’s more, she managed to help Lita feel safe and entertained with outings and car rides. I’ll certainly rely on her services the next time I have to go out of town.

This was my first time hiring a dog sitter and I couldn’t be happier with Savanna. She was knowledgeable attentive and punctual. She showed a desire to get to know my dogs and cat and maintain their routine. I received photos and updates daily. I highly recommend her and plan on hiring her whenever I need a house/dog sitter in the future.

About: I have experience with all animal types including dogs, cats, horses, livestock, birds, pocket pets and some reptiles. I am a licensed vet tech so I am also comfortable medicating animals that need it. I have 7 dogs and 3 cats, all of which are friendly with other animals. I will treat your pets as if they are my own no matter if they are being boarded or just going for a walk. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding your pets and their needs while you are working, vacationing, etc. I can care for pets early before work, mid-day and late after work. On weekends my schedule can be more flexible depending on what activities I have going on. Any dogs that come into my home will be treated as if they were my own. I have a fenced backyard for the dogs to play in. Boarding dogs will have their own room to hang out in.

Maggie is highly responsive and responsible. She loves my dogs and they love her. We had a miscommunication because I forgot to tell her she could leave at 10 p.m., and she stayed until 11 just to make sure the dogs were OK. Highly recommend.. Thanks so much for your help!

These two sitters are wonderful! This is the first time we needed to leave our two dogs alone for an extended period and we were nervous. Philip and Lily restored our confidence! We met with them several times prior to departure and they asked all the right questions and had all the right answers to our questions! The dogs liked them and we returned to happy dogs and a home that was tidy - no incidents! They were super responsive to our inquiries while we were away. You cannot miss with this team!

About: Hi! I’m Gabby — a pre-veterinary Animal & Poultry Sciences student with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and needs. Animals are my whole life, and I treat every pet like my own. What sets me apart: • Shadowed veterinarians, gaining safe handling and health-monitoring skills • Experienced Golden Retriever breeder (whelping, neonatal care, tube feeding, CPR) • 3+ years of professional pet sitting with strong references • Puppy specialist — raising and training puppies is part of my daily life • Extensive senior & special-needs experience — I’ve cared for my own senior and special-needs pets, so I understand mobility support, slow routines, medication schedules, cognitive changes, anxiety, and gentle handling • Volunteer at my local animal society • Animal science & pre-vet coursework (behavior, nutrition, health, genetics) • Dog owner, so I value structure, safety, and emotional support I’m confident with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments — from energetic puppies to older pets who need extra patience and care. You’ll get reliable communication, detailed updates, and truly personalized attention. Your pet will be safe, loved, and treated with the same compassion I give my own. Excited to meet your pet! 💛🐾 ⭐ My Daily Routine Pets fit naturally into my day. I start with morning feeding, meds (if needed), and a potty break or litter refresh. I only have one class a day, so I’m home most of the time to give walks, playtime, enrichment, and supervision. Throughout the afternoon and evening, I’m with the pets—doing walks, cuddles, behavior reinforcement, and keeping their space clean and comfortable. At night, I do final potty breaks/litter care, give any meds, and settle pets into a calm routine. Your pet is with me nearly all day, getting consistent care, attention, and love. In Your Home: I follow your routines exactly—feeding, walks, meds, and crate or free-roam preferences. I keep doors locked, maintain a clean environment, and make sure pets always have fresh water, a safe space to relax, and enrichment throughout the day. I send regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe. In My Home: Pets have a clean, pet-proofed space with supervised indoor time, enrichment, cuddles, and frequent potty breaks. I use slow introductions, low-stress handling, and separate areas if needed for shy or senior pets. I monitor behavior and health closely and maintain a calm, positive environment. I treat every pet with the same care, structure, and attention I give my own animals. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust always come first.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals cats, dogs, fish, and even plants! I love to help my friends, family, and more with walking their dog, feeding their cat, or watering plants! I work only a few days a week because I’m a stay at home mother so I would give your pup all my love. I’m available during the week from 11am - 8pm. I take my dogs on walks as well as play fetch at least once a day! I feed them twice a day and let them out every 2-3 hours. If i dog/cat sit for someone I go to their house 2 times a day to feed, walk, or whatever else I’m instructed to do.

About: Hi! I provide attentive, reliable pet care backed by hands-on experience as a former kennel assistant, pet sitter, and working in a zoo environment. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals and am confident handling different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. Animals have always been a part of my life—I grew up caring for dogs and cats and currently have two pets of my own. This gives me a deep understanding of how important trust, consistency, and communication are when choosing someone to care for your pet. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and personalized experience for every pet, whether that means structured routines, engaging playtime, or gentle companionship. I also provide consistent updates so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Your pet will be treated with the same care, attention, and respect as my own. Being a stay at home mom, my schedule is open for walks, lots of cuddles, and structured schedules to ensure your fur baby is taken care of as if you were taking care of them yourself. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. With my background as a kennel assistant, I’m very familiar with reading animal behavior, preventing issues before they arise, and handling pets in a calm, controlled way.

About: I have lived with dogs my whole life and am comfortable with all sizes and breeds, as well as cats. I am a collegiate soccer player, so any activity level is no problem for me! I have about 5 years of experience house and pet-sitting for neighbors and family friends. I am comfortable giving pets medication and taking them for long runs/walks. I am currently taking two online courses at Virginia Wesleyan University over the summer. I have responsibilities to practice and stay fit for the women's soccer team. I am free every day of the week aside from a few travelling trips and will devote all of my attention to your animals! I will be sure to provide the utmost standard of care to my client's homes and pets. No task is too much. Beyond caring for the animals, I can aid in chores and house upkeep. No pet will be put in an unsafe situation or made to feel stressed out under my watch.
