“Kate was wonderful! She always kept in contact if she needed anything and gave great updates every drop in! I’ll absolutely book with her again if we need a sitter for our cat😊”


“Hunter is the best! Conscientious, dependable, caring, and very good about communicating. Mr. Percy the cat, has requested I travel more so he can spend time with her!”


“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.”


“Rachel was great with my kitties. My kitties were still a bit new to each other but Rachel made me feel at ease that they’d be safe! She sent lots of pictures and gave me updates on meals.”


“Sam took such wonderful care of our dear little cat, Alaska. Alaska got lots of cuddles and attention while we were away and really took a liking to Sam. We will absolutely work with Sam in the future, and we recommend Sam to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, communicative, and attentive pet sitter! Thank you so much, Sam!!”


“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 :)”


“Hired Jenna after my regular sitter cancelled last minute. She was very responsive and accommodating, she checked in everyday and sent updates. Our cat is super timid with new people, but she seemed to take to Jenna so we will be using her again.”


“Lejuana did a wonderful job taking care of my kitties. One was sick and needed multiple pills. Lejuana went to great strides to get her to take the meds. Also provided extra TLC for a very unhappy kitty. Would definitely get Lejuana again whenever needed!”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for animals of all sizes and personalities. I have cared for many dogs of various breeds & sizes throughout my life and currently have three dogs and two cats at home. Besides cats & dogs, I have also cared for rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, hamsters, chickens, goats, and sheep! For the past two years, I have also volunteered at the SPCA in Winchester, gaining hands-on experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and care needs. I am confident working with playful puppies, senior pets, and everyone in between. I am patient, outgoing, and truly love providing animals with the care and attention they deserve. I am a student at Virginia Tech, so I have availability here and there throughout the day! I am also available most evenings/nights for longer periods of time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort above all else. At my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, a walkable neighborhood for daily walks and fresh air, and a spacious deck that’s perfect for lounging and sunbathing. Inside, animals are treated like family in a clean, pet-friendly space with constant attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routines and space, ensuring their pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for in their own environment.

About: I have cared for several work friend's pets, including someone who had 7 medium-large dogs with a laundry list of special accommodations and medications needed I am an Army Veteran going to college, this leaves my afternoons and weekends completely free. I can alter the rest of my schedule to accommodate your pet I have a dog and cat of my own, so I have experience with the difference in the needs and behaviors of the two most common household pets. I care for their physical as well as their mental health to the best of my ability. I strive to care for all animals the same way.

“Lisa took great care of my two cats. She was attentive to their needs based on their personalities/quirks. My 11 month old kitten had never been without us for an entire week, and my 13 year old is timid and doesn’t engage very much. Lisa gave extra attention to our kitten while still talking with and soothing our older kitty while we were away. I got a daily report with photos. That means so much when traveling. She also watered my plants, which was a great help to me in this extreme heat. I highly recommend Lisa. She knows cats!”


“Jessica was a great sitter for my cat Momo. Communication with her was easy, given that we did have some changes to both of our schedules. She made sure my cat had food, water, treats and also some fresh air in the backyard. She sent me pictures every time she visited. She was on time every visit. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter.”



“Gillian was an amazing pet sitter for Bubu! She was very attentive, friendly, and great with communication. It’s clear that she loves animals- and loves taking care of them as well. I came home to a very happy kitty!!! :)”


About: Have had 3 dogs and many other species of pets all my life. Am available almost all the time for pet care and happy to spend lots of time with your pets. Great with walking or indoor sitting. Have lots of spare time to dedicate to your pets and happy to help all days of the week. Can visit at all times of day. Can easily and gracefully handle all breeds of dogs or cats and can deal with multiple dogs at a time indoors or out doors if needed.

About: I have experience caring for both elderly and young dogs. This has equipped me with a variety of skills such as age-appropriate exercise, nutritional needs, and understanding certain behaviors and how to react. I just recently graduated high-school and need something to fill my time. Playing with your pups seems to be the best thing to fill my day! I’m free majority of the week and only work part-time as a waitress. I have a cat and dog at my house but both a friendly to other animals. If needed the animals can be put in a separate room away from clients pet.

About: Hi! My names Kirsten, and I was raised in Blacksburg. I love the NRV, but I love animals even more. I have two cats of my own Coco and Skully and they are my pride and joy. I have been taking care of animals for 7 years now and have loved every second of it. I’ve taken care of kittens, puppies, special needs animals, exotic pets and more. I have grown special relationships not only with pets, but with their families as well. I would love to meet your furry family! I am currently working as a part-time server at Cabo Fish Taco (try the blood orange margarita next time you’re in!). As a server, I rarely work for more than 5 hours at a time, which makes my schedule extremely flexible. My coworkers also pick up shifts and my management team is extremely understanding! I live in an apartment and unfortunately don’t have a yard. I do however have reliable transportation and have never even received a ticket. I believe safety is important for everyone involved, especially the pets. I am understanding of any stipulations that pet parents may have in order for them to feel comfortable leaving their babies with me.

“Riane did an excellent job of taking care of my fur babies. She even took treats to my skittish cat under the bed where she was hiding. She took time to play with them and gave them love and attention.”


About: I am a proud mom and fur mom. I work during the day however I am home each night. I have 14 plus years of experience with both cats and dogs and now 4 years of experience with IVDD in dogs. I have grown up with pets in my home since I was little and I know that these animals are just as much a part of a family as kids are and can designate all the love and attention to your furry friend as if you were there. My beagle mix was paralyzed due to IVDD and now have experience in relieving bladders and range of motion exercises. I currently work during the day so I am available during the week after two and all weekend unless my son has sports or whatever in which I’ll post that I am not available. I have a fenced in yard that provides plenty of room to run and play. I also love taking photos of fur babies so you’ll regularly get updates.
