House Sitting Downtown

“I am so glad we found Anna to take care of our dogs while we’re away. She sent me daily photos, updates, and communicated any questions or concerns in real time. I have a puppy who is very anxious/skittish around new people. Anna recognizes her body language and works with her to meet her needs at her comfort level - by the end of Anna’s stay at our home, my puppy was willingly sitting in her lap! She doesn’t do that for ANYONE so to me this is an excellent reflection of the way my pets were cared for while in Anna’s care. She did a great job following their routines and went above and beyond to keep them happy while we were gone. My home was treated respectfully and in the same condition I left it when I returned. We already have Anna booked for another stay and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

“Barbara was a true professional while spending the week at our home with our Doberman Kingston. Kingston has never been without his mama, and Barbara made sure to give him the love he needed and keep my wife’s nerves at ease with pictures and videos showing he is in good hands and doing just fine. We will use Barbara every time Kingston needs a sitter.”

“Trevor was attentive to my highly active german shepherds and two cats. He left the house in great shape, and walked the dogs willingly, which ive never had another pet sitter do before. He was inquisitive about the house and responsive if I had any questions. He was extremely communicative throughout watching them as well”

“Alyssa took great care of our two dogs!! She sent lots of videos and pictures throughout the house sitting.”

About: I’ve owned pets my whole life so I understand the importance in taking care of them. My dogs are my children and I will always take the best care of them. I’ve had many cats when I was younger but I have 2 dogs here with me and 1 back home with my mom. Two of the three dogs I have are rescues, and I’ve owned dogs of all sizes. I am an Air Force veteran and I am currently a stay at home mom. I’m free any day at any time to meet all of your pets needs. I am newer to drop-in visits on this app but I’ve done it plenty of times before joining the app. I am very reliable and will always keep you updated with your pet(s).

“Haven took a super last minute request to care for my senior dog while my family and I went out to dinner on vacation! She was fantastic with my high needs boy. I really appreciate the care and attention she gave him while we were away. Thank you, Haven!”

“Brandon was fantastic! Parra seemed very content when I got home. He did a great job of communicating, putting me at ease, sending updates, and taking good care of my home.”

About: I have over a year of experience dog sitting both drop in visits and overnight. I can adjust to any specific needs your pet may need including administering pills and most other medication. I take care of five of my beloved cats at home. They’re very spoiled so my routine involves cleaning their water fountain each week along with their litter robot whenever it needs to be emptied. I provide puzzle toys for enrichment and have even taught one of my cats a trick he does for his wet food dinner. When taking care of a families home I always make sure to leave things the same way they were when I arrived. Whether that being washing any dishes I used and remaking the bed so things are tidy when they return.

About: I’ve never really known life without pets. Dogs and cats have been part of my household since I was a toddler. I've cared for a pretty wide range of personalities, breeds, ages, and energy levels.. I’ve also provided occasional pet sitting for friends and family, including walks, feeding routines, and basic grooming, and overnight care. I currently have two cats of my own, who are frequently spoiled. So I am also well-versed in cat care. In the past I’ve owned several other cats and dogs, including a Jack Russell Terrier, a Black Lab Retriever, and a Coonhound. I am conscientious about the pets in my care. I take the time to get to know the animals and follow their normal routine as much as possible. I can happily provide energetic walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. Whatever their particular needs and quirks, I will be attentive and affectionate with your pets while you are away. I am currently currently working from home part-time. My schedule is usually flexible, so I can accommodate the specific needs of your pets. I look forward to talking with you. I am very communicative with my clients. I want to you to be confident that your pet will be well cared for. I strictly follow my clients’ instructions and can send pictures and updates as often as requested.

“Erin was amazing! She was very easy to communicate with to set up the booking, asked plenty of questions to make sure Diablo and I were taken care of, and sent me picture and video updates of them enjoying each other's company. If possible, I will book her again in the future!”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy! I also have experience working in doggie daycare and with dog boarding (for all animals!) so I’m used to being around animals with all different personalities and energy levels. I enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m honestly trying to be more open, I work full time daycare and boarding but I’m looking for more options in the animal field, I would like to have this experience and I just love caring for animals! I treat all baby’s like they’re my baby’s! I can walk, play or just cuddle all day. I care for pets like it’s a normal but fun routine taking care of all the basic of course!

About: I’ve cared for neighbors’ and coworkers’ dogs on and off for about 7 years. I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, including seniors. I currently have a 16 year old Dachshund, so I understand the extra patience and care older dogs may need. I treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I work 7-4 at Langley Air Force base so depending on how far it is from base I could stop by during lunch but if not I can stop by during the week before 7 and after 3:30 pm. During the weekends and holidays, I should be free whenever to care for your pet! I live in a comfortable apartment with an enclosed patio where pets can get some fresh air and relax. I’m also happy to take them on regular walks and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout their stay. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home!

“Tisha took great care of my fur babies. Sent pictures and updates. Would highly recommend.”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I am a an active duty navy sailor, a toddler mommy, and a husky momma. I work from 7-3, but I am sure we can establish flexible care that accommodates your loved one’s needs while you are away. Hope to give you some peace of mind knowing your pup is in good care. Hey there my name is Kamil and I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle, I will make sure your babies are well taken care of while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life, especially pit bulls, and I’m very comfortable caring for strong, energetic, and affectionate dogs. I understand the importance of structure, patience, and positive reinforcement, and I treat every dog with the same love and respect I give my own. In addition to dogs, I’ve also cared for two beautiful tuxedo cats, so I’m familiar with meeting cats where they are—whether they’re playful, independent, or just want a quiet companion. Having pets of my own has taught me how important trust, routine, and attention are, and I always make sure animals feel safe, loved, and at home while in my care. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be fully present for the pets in my care. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I can easily adjust my day to match your pet’s routine, whether that includes early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, medication reminders, or extra cuddle time. My flexible work-from-home schedule also allows me to respond quickly to any needs that come up and gives me the freedom to focus on keeping pets comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of dogs and a designated dog park, which provides a safe and social environment for pets to get exercise and enrichment. I always supervise playtime at the dog park and only allow interactions that are positive and appropriate for each pet’s temperament and comfort level. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. Pets are never left unattended outside, and I ensure doors, leashes, and gates are always secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick to their pet’s established routine to minimize stress. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet with patience, attentiveness, and the same level of care I would want for my own animals.

“Akeena was so great with her communication and treated my pups like family. Her attitude and temperament make her one of the great animal sitters. I definitely would recommend her if you want someone who is responsible and caring.”

About: I have taken care of huskies and neighbors dogs when I was younger and in my parents house. Now that I have my own home and backyard, I want to continue taking care of dogs, even if it's just for a couple of days! I have been a dog walker for several people around the Newport News area. I'm totally dedicated on the weekends! Available all day long! Monday through Friday, I work full time, working from 8-3:30. I'm available after 3:30 to pet sit, walk dogs, or take care of your pet. I have a fenced yard and a loving little white dog that can be your dogs companion during their stay! During the weekend, I am completely dedicated to pet sitting!

“My needs changed so Patricia did not end up doing this stay; however, she was very kind and sympathetic and I would recommend her as a compassionate care giver.”
