“I got quick replies to my questions, received regular photos and status, and returned from my 8 day trip to a healthy, happy senior dog. Karmy gets my vote of confidence for her thoroughness and great communication.”
“Kat dis a drop-in with my five dogs without a ton of notice and knocked it lit of the park! The dogs seemed to be over the moon in the pictures she sent me, and all the pups were happy as could be when I got back. Thank you so much, Kay!”
“Olivia did a great job with my two senior kitties. Even giving Albuteral puffs to one of them. She gave them love and made sure to follow all my directions. The pictures she sent were great too. I totally recommend her and will use her again!”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have been caring for them for over 8 years. For the past 2–3 years, I’ve regularly walked dogs at my college animal shelter. My experience ranges from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a gentler touch. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets like they’re my own. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy connecting with every animal I meet. I currently work a few mornings during the week, which leaves my afternoons and evenings free to care for your pets! I’m also available on weekends for dog walking, drop-ins, or boarding. Pet care easily fits into my routine because it’s something I genuinely love and look forward to. I always prioritize comfort and safety, whether that means giving space or providing plenty of play. I’m also happy to crate your dog if that’s part of your home routine or training. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority.
“Estefani is the best! She was soooo sweet with my senior kitty. She is a great communicator and sent lovely updates each day. I felt so much better knowing she was looking after my cat. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Nicole was absolutely wonderful with our crew (2 dogs, 3 cats). This was our first time using Nicole and she sent updates and pictures each visit, which eased our mind. We were able to enjoy my out of town company holiday event without worrying about our ‘kids’ and will utilize Nicole’s services again without hesitation.”
About: I have been a cat parent for my whole life in which I have administered medication to them including eye drops, ear drops, liquid & pill oral medication. I have also grown up around dogs as well given that most of my boyfriend and friends are dog parents. I have walked their dogs before and taken care of their cats as well. I can clean litter boxes, food bowls, vomit, etc. I currently am a student at James Madison University, so message me for specific availability during the week. Additionally, I do not have class on Friday, and am mostly available during the morning and mid afternoon. I am willing to come multiple times a day and multiple days a week unless I have a prior engagement. I have an orange tabby cat that is strictly indoors to optimize his safety against potentially harmful animals, insects, and people. I care for my cat and those I have taken care of by respecting the boundaries that their owners have set regarding indoors or outside pets. I clean their food and water bowls every day before I give them food. Also, I will play with them frequently unless they do not want to engage. I believe adhering to the pet's needs as well as their owners is deeply important.

Sarah P.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Highly Recommend Sarah! Sarah has watched my dog, Princess, on multiple occasions — I’d estimate around 8 to 10 times — and every experience has been nothing short of amazing. She’s stayed at my apartment while I was away and always took great care of both my home and Princess. I’ve always come back to a clean, orderly space and, most importantly, a happy and relaxed pup. Princess can be pretty energetic, so it’s been a huge relief knowing she’s in good hands with someone who genuinely loves dogs and stays active. I never worry about whether Princess is getting enough exercise or attention — Sarah goes above and beyond every time. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring dog sitter, I can’t recommend Sarah enough. She’s been an absolute lifesaver!”

Philip R.
“…extremely loving, yet controlling of his own dogs. I know his dogs are well-cared for with great consistency. The dogs he’s owned have all lived well beyond their normal lifespan.”
Adrian M.
“I have a 4 year old poochon who is a bit shy with strangers and the way he gravitated towards Adriane had me so surprised!! He allowed her to give him a belly rub which I’ve only seen him do to the immediate household members that live in the house. Adriane definitely has a warm and friendly spirit to her that my little guy Cody drew towards. Adriane made sure his feedings were on time. She not only walked him but also took him to the dog park in our neighborhood and sent pictures to update me throughout the day. Cody’s fur is very high-maintenance and needs to be brushed everyday. Adriane took care of that for me and gave me one less thing to worry about when I got home. I highly recommend her services and I look forward to having her watch Cody again!”
