“Frankie was incredible and did a phenomenal job at watching my cat Kloud. She responded incredibly quick to all of my questions and gave Kloud the attention she needed while I traveling to ensure she didn't lack for socialization. She also so sweetly left Kloud a Christmas gift. I couldn't have asked for more from her and highly recommend her as a petsitter.”


“Hannah helped my little family out tremendously when she agreed to help with our diabetic cat, Jasper, last minute. She was quick to respond and detailed in her communication with us. Although our cat was difficult and afraid, she was still able to administer his insulin injection and make sure he ate food with it. This was thanks to her training and experience with scared animals.”


“Absolutely amazing job! Casey was a blessing as our dog sitter. She constantly provided updates while we were away, giving us complete peace of mind. Our two dogs were in great hands. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”


About: Looking to see if anyone is interested in pet sitting/ walking services? I will come pick your pet up and watch/walk them whenever you need me too! 🐶 I am a very reliable, patient, positive and energetic person! Looking to spend some time with animals in between my work hours! I am a part time bus driver, with pups of my own and 2 young kiddos 🙂 I'm just trying to make a little extra income. I have multiple years of experience with animals. I can help with sitting, walking, Boarding and Pet Transportation. With me, your pets will receive appropriate care, and I'm willing to do additional other tasks if requested. -I'm an organizer, planner, and multitasker, so I'm able to provide a supervised and safe environment for multiple pets at a time. This is not limited to just dogs… I’ve had bunnies, fish, and lizards. I’ll even watch your birds, if you provide a cage! I am a part time school bus driver. So I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet in between my routes! I am available any day / weekend. Just reach out when needed! I have two small children to entertain your pet, and 4 fur babies of my own to play with and keep company! (I will post a picture of them) I can also crate your pet or my own if needed. We have a large laundry room where my pups go when they need some solitary/nap time. I do not have a fenced in yard, but we do live a mile or more off the main road. Also, we have a large yard to play in, frolic around, and watch for squirrels .

“Amanda looked after all the animals with great care. The dogs, bunnies and fish were happy and healthy. She provided great reports and a variety of photos and put us at ease. If she noticed any changes in the animals she brought it to our attention. Having someone with vet tech experience is a big plus. I highly recommend Amanda.”


“Stephanie is fantastic, and we are grateful to have her available for drop in visits. She is very professional, great at communication, and someone we trust completely in our home, and our cat clearly is grateful for the time Stephanie spends with her.”


“Eman is wonderful! It was obvious from the beginning how much love and care she has for our fur baby! And our Cookie loved her immediately! I highly recommend Eman and will definitely be using her services again!”


About: I've taken care of animals for most of my life. I've always had a dog since I was born and often take care of my friends' pets. I have the time and knowledge to love your baby like my own. I am a JMU professor who is on sabbatical until January. This means I am working from home and will have plenty of time for your pet's needs. I have a large yard with areas for dogs to play and run. I have a French Bulldog who loves other animals and is always looking for a playmate.

About: I am a fur mommy to an amazing little guy we call Charlie Brown! He is wonderful with adults and children alike! We would love to find him some new friends by watching your cute fur babies too! In my house, someone is always home, so your pet would never be alone! We love to go on long walks through the neighborhood and the local park. Our Charlie Brown loves car rides! My husband is great with animals and loves to play with them! We also have a 3 year old girl who is learning to play with our dogs as well and a full of life 6 year old boy who loves animals, so playtime is all the time here! There is never a dull moment, that's for sure! If you aren't comfortable with your pet coming to our house, that's ok too! I can come to you! I'm a trustworthy, respectful, playful dogsitter as well. Transportation is not an issue. I can stay over night or I can just check in from time to time with your little one. It's all up to you! Let me know what you need and we can figure it all out. I am looking forward to hearing from you and to getting to know all of those adorable fur babies!!!! "Ready to spoil, walk, pet and play! With our family, it's always a fun day!!!" I work for myself so my schedule is never an issue! Whatever may be needed, I will make happen. However, written instructions are always helpful! I don't have a fenced yard. However I do have a runner line that your pets can be hooked to outside so they can play as much as they want to without worry!!

“Melissa absolutely rocks! We were gone for 7 days. She kept our dogs walked, brushed, and skritched. We got daily updates and at least 2 pictures each day. She cared for our babies as of they were her own. Highly recommend!!”


“Tyler is great! He was very professional and took Brewer on a long walk that drained all his energy. My puppy was much calmer that night as he got plenty of playtime in the afternoon. Due to work it can be difficult for me to spend a proper lunch break with my dog, so Tyler really helped in that regard. You can tell he loves animals and can connect with them on their level. I’d recommend others to book Tyler as well.”


“April took very good care of our two cats. As cats tend to be, they are both shy of people they don't know, but she did eventually make friends with one of them. We appreciated that April understands and has personal experience with cats. She was excellent about communicating with us, including sending photos from her visits. We would be happy to have April cat sit for us again.”
