House Sitting Eastham

“Bertie and Lissette's family were amazing! They took great care of my puppy and were very responsive and easy to communicate with. I will definitely contact them again the next time I am in Charlottesville.”

Onyx M.

“Ashley was great! She let me know when she arrived and how Buster greeted her. She kept Buster company for several hours during my longer than usual work day— preventing him from getting too anxious about being alone. You can tell Ashley is a true animal lover as well as being very conscientious and reliable. Will definitely reach out to her again for dog sitting!”

“Thanks for providing our girl with live and care while we were away! We were grateful to receive daily updates of photos and our Dane seemed right at home. So relaxed - belly up! Thanks again!”

Jillian B.

“Gavin was the best! Super detail oriented and brought his own checklist to go over during our meet and greet so he wouldn’t miss anything. He was very flexible and communicative, and even left a very sweet thank you card at the end of his visit. Would definitely recommend his services to anyone else looking for a sitter!”

Cheyenne G.

“Ireland was great and was able to help me out last minute! She communicated often and took great care of my dog while I was gone! Would recommend Ireland to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Mackenzie was wonderful - I highly recommend her! She was very attentive to ensuring she had my pup's feeding schedule/plan, his walking routine, and other information to make him feel well cared for. She truly provided him loving care - playing with him, noticing when he was confused about my absence, and giving him snuggles. She was very communicative and left the house so tidy as well. If I need a sitter again, Mackenzie is my #1 choice!”

About: I have been pet sitting for many years, typically with friends and family. I have been responsible for cats (domestic & feral), dogs, goats, sheep, chickens, turkeys, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, guinea fowls, fish, bearded dragons, geckos and even a millipede! I have also worked with animals in a professional setting for 14 years and I have some veterinary assistant experience. I’m happy to handle extra tasks such as retrieving mail, watering plants and even some light housekeeping. I work full time (4 days per week) but can provide morning and evening care most days. On days off, I can be flexible and as available as your pet requires. I will be as candid as possible about my schedule to ensure choosing me is the best option! In a clients home, I follow all instructions given in regard to their pets care. I ensure the pet is comfortable with me before any handling or petting. I love to send photos and updates to clients letting them see how their pet is doing.

Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, a 10 mile run, relaxing companionship, or attentive care and routine, I’m happy to provide a safe and comfortable experience while you’re away. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to visit and play with your pets! I'm available at most times, 7 days a week. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions. In my home, I provide a safe, supervised environment that is clean and has plenty of open space. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings while keeping their space clean and secure. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can see that your pet is happy and well cared for!

“Megan was spectacular, stepping in with very short notice to dog sit my puppy for a week when my original sitter canceled a few days before I left. She took very good care of my dog a provided some very cute photos of the fun they were having”

About: I have always had dogs in my life. My parents chose our first dog, a blue healer, after their honeymoon. I was three. Skeeter and I would tromp through the woods often. We moved to the Middle East when I was 9, and we had to give her to another family, but when we returned, we were contacted by the family: they were moving and wondered if we would like her back. It was a very happy reunion. She passed away when I was 18. In my third year of college, I decided to get a dog of my own. It was a dumb idea because I didn't have the forethought to think about how being a dogowner would limit my housing options over the next 10 years. Baloo was a German shepherd mix. He was a rescue from a Native American reservation in AZ, what we call a "res dog". He and I had several adventures over the decade I could call him mine. He passed away a little over two years ago, and I still miss him now. These days, I am mom to Benedict and Tigerlily. Benny is a sweet old rescue from California. He is likely part pitbull, and part sharpei. He's a sweetheart, super chill with my kids, and loves to walk the trails behind my house. Tigerlily Is a baby baby. The two of them are inseparable. I work from home and have my kids 3-5 nights / week. We love all the dogs and love to take them on walks through the woods and to the park. I provide a chill space where dogs feel like they can relax and trust that someone will come along soon to scritch their ears. I have a great neighborhood for walking and a large unfenced backyard.

“Lindsey was great at communicating with us - sending pics of her with our pups every day. House was probably cleaner when we got home than when we left, too! Our dogs seemed really happy.”

“Our first time using River and I’ve never felt more comfortable with Caroline at our house with our two deaf dogs. She communicated well and sent lots of pictures which was appreciated!”

I can't wait to meet your pets and help keep them happy! l am currently taking a few months off my typical job to visit my parents in VA. My work is highly flexible while I’m here, so there is no set schedule but I am easily able to accommodate your pet’s needs as long as I’m not busy caring for another animal at that time! I would love to care for your pets in your home or take them on walks! I am careful to always leave your space how I found it or nicer, and will stick to areas of the house you ask me to use.

“We were so pleased with Melissa’s stay with our pets. She is reliable, communicated well with us while we were away by sending photos and updates. We also appreciated her flexibility when our travel plans changed last minute. We came home to happy dogs and a well kept home!”

About: Hi! I’m a huge dog lover and offer a safe, calm, and thoughtful home environment for boarding. I take a lot of care in how I work with dogs because I know how much trust it takes to leave them with someone new. My goal is to make your dog’s stay feel comfortable, low-stress, and genuinely enjoyable, while giving you complete peace of mind. I use a science-based, force-free approach, focusing on reinforcing good behaviors and helping dogs feel confident and secure in a new environment. I’m happy to support training goals during their stay, including loose-leash walking, recall, desensitization, grooming tolerance, ignoring distractions (like food or other dogs), public access skills, and puppy or new dog basics. Whether or not your dog has specific goals, I reinforce consistent everyday manners to keep the visit smooth and positive. I’m very interested in dog behavior and training, so if there’s something specific you’re working on that I haven’t listed, I’d be excited to learn and support you and your pup! Hi! I’m a huge dog lover and offer a safe, calm, and thoughtful home environment for boarding. I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog. My goal is to make your dog’s stay feel as comfortable, low-stress, and enjoyable as possible, while giving you complete peace of mind. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent supervision, structured care, and individualized attention. In a new environment, rest is just as important as activity, so I’m intentional about giving dogs high-quality downtime tailored to their needs so they stay relaxed and well-regulated. I take time to understand each dog’s personality and provide the right balance of structure, activity, and rest. All care is fully customizable to your preferences, including routines, activity levels, and multiple sleeping arrangements to ensure your dog feels at home. I also like to set up a meet and greet beforehand to make sure it’s a great fit.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. I am a big animal lover so your pet would be in good hands. They will get a lot of attention, exercise, and love. I am fully able to take care of your pet 7 days a week and all daytime hours. I am available from 6am to 10pm. I can provide a leash if needed and walk only on sidewalks, paths, trails or take them to a nearby park. Safety is my highest priority.
