“ABOVE AND BEYOND!! Phyllis is so sweet and I’m pretty sure she spoiled me as much as my boy!! She sent me so many pics and updates with added bonuses that made my vacation that much more enjoyable knowing he was in great hands!! She took great care of our home as well. I will book her again and again!!”


“Carlita Was great to my 2 dogs , she did everything I asked and more , my dogs now have a new friend they will be seeing every time I need a vacation, highly recommended”


“MacKenzie was fantastic! We had a family member cancel with short notice for watching out 2 dogs and 3 cats for a week while we were going on vacation. I quickly hopped on Rover to see who was near us, and decided to message MacKenzie based on other reviews that had been left. She was quickly able to come over and meet our gang to make sure it would be a fit. After that initial meeting, my husband and I both felt very comfortable and confident with her coming to stay and take care of things while we were gone. The day we were supposed to leave, we ran into some issues but MacKenzie was flexible and fast to communicate. She was very punctual and sent brief updates/questions throughout the week (she has our preference on communication and we had told her we didn't need regular check ins or updates). When we got home, we could tell our dogs and cats had missed us, but it was also clear that they had been well taken care of. Overall, if and when I may need another house & pet sitter, I wouldn't hesitate to reach back out to MacKenzie and I won't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for help.”


“It was not easy leaving my dogs but I knew they were in good hands the minute I met Meghan. She took great care of my dogs and sent me detailed updates. I highly recommend Meghan and will definitely use her again!”


“Monique was easy to work with both in meeting prior to the stay and during. She was very communicative, sent lots of photos and updates, and most importantly, the pups had fun! The house was left clean and I could tell she was respectful of our home. Would book again with confidence!”


About: Hi! my name is Denique and I have a strong love for all types of animals. I am a 24yr old graduate from A&T University with a major in Animal Science. I have been caring for pets ever since I was a toddler. Caring for a pet in my household has always been my responsibility and I’ve done so very well, although I currently do not own a pet at the moment it just makes me more passionate to care for others. Making sure your pet is happy, safe, and having a good time is one of my main priorities. I am so excited to care for your pets and give them the best time. I promise I will be extremely loving to your animals. <3 I hope you decide to pick me as your pet sitter, you will not be dissatisfied. Feel free to contact me anytime. I currently have a job at a vet hospital where I tend to work long shifts throughout the week. In order to make sure your pet gets the most quality time they deserve I schedule my time where I am available to fulfill the needs of your pet. Your animals safety is one of my main priorities because I want to make sure they are always comfortable. When outside I prefer to leash your pet or hold them for their protection until we are in a safe area.

“My 3 cats looked very well taken care of and Emily made sure that my house was clean when I got back from my trip. She did such a great job. Definitely will book her again!!”


“Bella did a great job! She communicated with me multiple times a day and the house looked just as we had left it when we got home. We already rebooked her for another trip!”


“Sabrina did an excellent job farm sitting for our two horses and dog. She was dependable, flexible and handled a complex routine well. We would recommend and will be booking her services again. Thanks Sabrina!”


“Jammie did it again. She takes such great care of our animals while we are away. We feel no anxiety at all leaving our fur babies in her care. I cannot recommend her enough. Communication and thoughtfulness can’t be beat!”


“Very helpful and communicative”


About: I have taken care of animals since I was 7 years old and professionally since I was 18 years old. I love ALL animals. I have experience with the following animals: Bearded Dragons, Cats, Dogs, Ferrets, Rabbits, Fish, Hamsters, and Birds. I know how to administer shots and give medications orally to Cats, Dogs, and Ferrets. I believe that pets aren't pets - they are family. I live in a house with my husband, 4 month old baby, and 2 kitties. I work a 9-5 full time job but can take breaks to help with walks, potty breaks, and feedings. I promise to give all of the love and attention your animal needs. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please reach out to me. Thank you! I have a full-time job however, I can take breaks throughout the day to attend to your animal's needs (walks, potty breaks, food, etc.). I have full availability on the weekends. I have 2 cats who get along with other animals. They roam around the house and tend to do their own thing. Staying in client homes, I will only use items/rooms that I am told can be used. I ALWAYS clean up after myself and will do light housework if asked/needed.

“Upon the first meeting trinity presented very well and demonstrated a genuine love for animals. I trusted her with the dare of Tara and Bentley immediately. She provided regular updates , sending photos and advising of events. Tara and Bentley seemed to become acclimated quickly and became very comfortable with her presence. I am very pleased with the service she provided and would absolutely book with Trinity again.”


“We feel like we won the lotto with Safiyyah! All of our dogs loved her, even the shy one. She was attentive and didn’t hesitate to text if she had questions or concerns. She did a great job of keeping us informed and sending pictures of the pups. 10/10 recommend!”


About: I’ve always had multiple dogs my entire 28 years of life! As the youngest of 3, it was always up to me to walk, feed, and train the dogs. I currently have a 5 year old pit/pointer mix and a dachshund mix under a year old! We love going for walks at the river or visiting the dog park in Chester! My wife and I also have 2 cats, meaning our dogs are very active friendly! We love all animals, shape and sizes! We reside in Colonial Heights and have a relatively decent sized fenced in back yard! Our cats are spoiled and have a dedicated room where they can come and go as they please, no dogs allowed! We also have a spare room to accommodate any dogs that may need to be separate for any reasons. Safety is very important to me! In my car I have multiple doggy seatbelts and harnesses dedicated for riding. I look forward to showing your dog or cat to the Daisey Does It way! I truly care for anyone’s pets as my own. I currently work part time while attending part time classes at Brightpoint Community College. I’m home except for a few early mornings, so my availability is pretty open. I can walk dogs or do home visits throughout the day or night. I can also board a dog(s) on most nights throughout the week. I have a relatively large fenced in yard with lots of doggy toys! My wife and I have 2 dogs that love meeting new friends to play with! We also have two cats, they have always been around dogs. We treat all animals as our own. We believe animals are better than people, haha! Our pets are our children, they are allowed on the furniture, and sleep with us as well. We can crate your animal if needed and have a spare room if you’d like your animal separated for any reasons. Our dogs are trained for off leash hikes, but we do walk them around the neighborhood as well. I’d love to take your fur baby to the local river trails even to run off leash in my backyard!
