House Sitting in Elliston

“I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation thanks to Hunter. Lots of pictures and videos of Mouse enjoying her time with her new friend. She kept up with all her medicine and different foods. Came home to a clean house and a happy dog. Couldn't ask for anyone better. I will definitely use Hunter for anything I need in the future!”

“Excellent caregiver and provided timely updates. We have two needy dogs of different sizes and she was great with both of them. Would work with again.”

Stephen S.

“She kept on top of my dogs’ changing needs and kept me in the loop so the week away didn’t feel quite as worrying! And we returned to the house even more tidy than we left it, which was a lovely surprise!”

Bic K.

“Justice was absolutely fabulous with our two dogs and cat. We know that she took great care of them because when we returned from our trip, they were relaxed and happy. She sent us some pictures and answered every time I sent a message. We would recommend her wholeheartedly.”

Suzanne D.

“Denise was great with our golden retriever. She kept us in the loop with pictures and texts. Will definitely book her again for Finley!! Very dependable and could even tell she stayed at the house.”

Troy M.

“I was amazed at how quickly Chauncey (our rescue dachsshnd) warmed up the Nancye. She has this innate ability to know a dog and his needs, placing that as top priority. She texted with pictures often, I left home for a much needed few days away without a worry at all. HIGHLY recommend and feel sure we'll want Nancye to pet/house sit for us again--SOON!”

About: I've had many animals in my household ever since I can remember, and I know first-hand how our four-legged friends need to be cared for as members of the family. It's important to give pets the love and care they need, and I will ensure your animal(s) are properly tended to during your family's absence! I care for pets in between classes, during my free time, and at night for house sitting! I have a lot of evening and morning availability, and I'm free on most weekends. I've had experience caring for small, medium, and big dogs, along with cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, and even a bearded dragon. I ensure they are all fed and taken outside (if needed) under a consistent schedule. Also, don't worry about them being alone and bored, as I absolutely LOVE playing and being with any animals!

“Madison did great staying with Copper while I was out of town! She sent pictures with updates, responded quickly, and followed our typical schedule to make sure he was well cared for and got plenty of attention. I already booked her again for another overnight stay!”

Aaron B.

“Kelly was absolutely amazing! She took care of our dog like she was her own and watered our garden as well! It was wonderful to enjoy our vacation without having to worry about our dog. I cannot say enough good things and she will definitely be our first call next time we are going out of town!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life since my childhood. Having both cats and dogs in my household, I have been trusted to take care of pets my entire life. I have experience in taking care of both big and small dogs, both personally and professionally taking care of pets belonging to others as well as temporarily taking care of foster animals, even those with health conditions. I have also taken care of cats my whole life, including those that live with other animals such as dogs. To me, taking care of pets is not just a profession, but is an ordinary and enjoyable part of life. I am a current student at Virginia Tech, coming back home for my winter break period, with plenty of time to spare. I am available every day to take care of pets, as I am already actively taking care of my dog, as well as my sister’s cats whenever necessary. I care for my own dog by keeping her active and healthy, through plenty of playtime and walking time. I am able to adjust to whatever my client’s needs will be, and I am available to take pets on walks to keep them active, or even just stay with them to keep them company.

“We (both humans and dogs) adore Billie. The pups got so much love that they barely noticed when we returned after a week 🤣. We got photo updates every day and lovely check-ins throughout our vacation. This was our first time booking with Billie and we will definitely use her again! So nice to trust that our fur babies are well taken care of while we're away.”

About: While most of my experience is with cats, I am also comfortable caring for small to medium dogs and following clear routines and care instructions. I have volunteered as a dog walker with a local adoption agency in Northern Virginia, helping socialize dogs and prepare them for adoption events. I have a flexible schedule and am able to provide morning, midday, and evening care. I prioritize maintaining your pet's established routine and can accommodate overnight stays or drop-in visits throughout the week. I care for pets in their own home to maintain comfort and minimize stress. I follow established routines closely and will keep all spaces clean. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel relieved and confident that their pets are happy and healthy. I make sure to include as much playtime as well as care time as much as possible.

“Sharon was great with our harley she helped out with walking her and getting her use to going out at night again. Sharon kept us informed of everything that was going on with harley and how she was doing and sent us pics. We will definitely use her again.”

About: I have cared and loved on pets for as long as I can remember, either through family friends, neighbors, and of course the animals in my home. As a Personal Trainer, Outdoor Adventures Guide, Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Aide, and previous babysitter/camp counselor I have a passion for the outdoors, staying active, and experience with caretaking. I am currently an undergraduate student with flexible hours, experience with high energy pets, and seeking an opportunity to give your pets amazing help and care! I'm currently a undergraduate student with flexible work hours, allowing ample time to spend with your pets! I love taking walks in both the morning and afternoon, and would greatly enjoy a furry companion to join me! House and petsitting in a clients home will include frequent play time either in the backyard or at a dog-park, ample cuddle time, and daily walks. I will also ensure that the home is tidy and that any pet mess is take care of during my stay.

“Ashley was wonderful! She was easy to communicate with, very responsive, and sent regular updates of our girls which we always appreciate. We’ll definitely rebook with her!”

Elise H.

“Selena took care of our pup on short notice and did a great job! She made us feel super comfortable by meeting us/our dog a few times before we left for our trip. She sent photos every day and our usually shy pup warmed up pretty quickly!”

Colleen K.

“Noah was gret to our cat. He gave him the attention he needed while we were away. He stayed in touch and even sent us some photos. He was also very courteous and even stripped the bed that he stayed in for us so there was one less thing we had to worry about when we got home from our vacation. Highly recommend Noah and would book again.”

Coad F.

“Lexi was great! She stayed at my house with my pups and gave them all kinds of snuggles and love and sent me pictures and messages as updates. She left the house as she found it. I’d definitely recommend Lexi to take care of your pets!”

Valerie V.

“Wanda and Steve are amazing and so accommodating and flexible! It was great knowing my boy was in good hands while I was away and I received daily updates and pictures. I would highly recommend them!!!”

Elizabeth W.

“Jade is so caring. We appreciate her keeping our four legged babies. When we got home our dogs were so happy and relaxed. Kept our minds at ease.”
