“Jillian was great and took really good care of our pets. She had great communication and sent thorough check out notes. We would highly recommend her and plan to use her again!!!”
“Alicia was a great companion for our very active 7 mo old kitten. We knew all was well when she reported he slept with her! Very sweet cat, but demanding of attention and play. Alicia provided all that!”
“Katie did a phenomenal job checking in on our cat! Each visit, she took a nice handful of photos, provided detailed notes on the visit, and spent quality time with our grumpy old lady, determined to win her over. She was also very tidy and washed out previous dinner bowls unprompted.”
“My cat, Chip, had such a great time while I was away—thank you for taking such good care of him! It was so reassuring to know he was safe, happy, and well cared for. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Jennifer and her daughter were wonderful to our boys! We were gone for an extended amount of time, and we felt sure throughout the trip that our pets were loved and cared for in our absence. We look forward to hiring them again!!”
“One of my cats got injured right before a trip out of town, and Emma boarded him at her house while we were away. She gave him his medicine twice a day and sent pictures and information every day. She spent time cuddling him and he even got to make a little doggy friend. I wasn't sure how my cat would do around the other animals, so Emma was very thoughtful about how and who she introduced him to, and made sure he had his own private space so he could feel comfortable. She even got him some treats :)”
“Morgan is amazing!! She took incredible care of my two special needs kitties! The was a small wildlife incident while she was pet sitting and she handled it like a pro! She was extremely communicative and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter!”
About: I am a college student at Virginia Tech who loves to take care of pets. I have 8+ years of pet-sitting experience. I also am a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital in Richmond, VA, so I am very knowledgeable of proper, loving care of dogs and cats! As a student, I have classes most days, but I am frequently at home during the week and almost always at home on the weekends. I am also a very active person who loves to take dogs on walks. I wake up early, so early walks or feeding is not a problem at all. I live in a townhome in Blacksburg that has a private fenced in courtyard as well as a big open grass area behind my house, perfect for potty trips and fetch.
“Claire did such an amazing job taking care of Blue. She was great to work with, followed my requests to a T, and sent frequent updates! I would totally recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Tiffany was amazing! She took care of our all 4 of our cats and even our rabbit. She kept us updated with lots of pics to let us know that our furbabies were well cared for while we were on vacation. We can't recommend her enough.”
About: I have taken care of dogs within my household for 15 years now, with the additional walking & house sitting for neighbors! I recently started pet walking & sitting in Blacksburg this year and have had such a blast! As an incoming vet student this fall, I will bring an expertise and view that will be beneficial for the pet in their environment and for the owners. I am so motivated to support owners with their schedules by sitting or walking! I’m currently working part-time throughout the summer, and have time within the day to complete walks for your pets! I am also available to pet sit in-home for you if needed; preferably not Monday-Wednesday, but I am flexible! I always start off my sessions with building a connection with the pet prior. If possible, I like to meet prior to needing my services to socialize myself with the pet, so that trust can be gained. Once this is done, I love to play with the pets and cuddle them so that they feel secure! I love taking photos of the pets during walks to send to the owners, as this reassures them!
“Jessie was incredible while we were out of town for a two week vacay. She was dependable and communicated very well to give us great updates on our 2 cats. She even was flexible when our travel plans changed and was able to accommodate additional visits on short notice. We would definitely recommend Jessie to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since middle school and have over 7 years of experience with pups and cats of all ages and temperaments. As a landscape architecture student at Virginia Tech, I love spending time outside and staying active—whether that means long walks, hikes, or just backyard playtime. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I treat every animal with patience, joy, and genuine care. I currently take classes from 8 in the morning until 12 pm, so I am available from 6-7am and 1-6pm M-F and 10am-5pm Saturday and Sunday! I do my best to make your pet feel comfy and cared for, whether I’m hanging out at your place or taking them for a walk. I’ll follow whatever routine you’ve got and use whatever leash or gear you prefer. If your pup needs to be crated at certain times, I’ve got no problem with that—and I’ll make sure they’re settled and relaxed. I’m also comfortable giving meds if needed, just let me know the details :)
“Tilly is fantastic! She is always timely and detailed and my pets love her! We have booked with her several times previously and have another reservation coming up next month. I can't recommend her services enough!”
