Vinnie did a great job! He took care of my senior pup over the weekend while we were out of town. He dropped in 3 times a day, fed, and gave my boy his supplements/medication. Vinnie even hung around and kept my boy company after he ate, waiting for him to digest his food and then took him out again. A + service!

Anita worked with us and with another pet sitter to help make sure we had care and coverage for our English Setter while we were taken up with my 98 year old mom being in the hospital for a few days. Despite illness in her own family, she was key to making sure we had all the bases covered.

Misa was an amazing cat sitter to our kitties! She showered them with love, attention, pets and playtime which is so appreciated by both the pets and pet parents! I really appreciated how quickly she’d respond to me and the fact that she sent daily updates, pictures and videos. I truly did not stress at all about my cats care while traveling and that is huge for me. We will definitely be using Misa again. The cats loved her and she even quickly won over our nervous shy kitty. Misa is amazing! 😻

About: I have always had animals since I was young. Raised many dogs growing up in small town Ohio and even was the local pet sitter. I have always been around different types of animals due to farm environment, so I typically can identify stressors pretty early on. When I moved to VA, I started meeting new people and quickly became the go to pet sitter for friends and local family. I love cats, dogs, and everything else! I personally have a dog (Maizie the Dalmatian), two cats, two chinchillas, and 6 Sugar Gliders, so animal care is something I am very familiar with. My wife helps me with the care. We often host other people's animals and give them our entire basement to roam around. If they are friendly with other dogs, they even have a friend to play with! If they work well with cats, we can integrate our cats too, but if not, we just close off access. Any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out! I have a Dalmatian that I fit into my daily routine since I work from home. This includes regular walks, time to play outside, and sometimes just good old snuggles! We are on a pretty routine schedule with breakfast and dinner and do walks throughout the day between each meal. When it comes to my home, the pet will have an entire basement area to use throughout the day! We have a doggie door that leads to a fenced backyard (townhome style) so they can get some outside time if needed. When it comes to a clients home, I usually get a list of rules (when to eat, when to take outside/walks, and any other special accommodations) and adhere to those rules.

On a recent multiple night, overnight stay, she asked questions when she was unsure, and adapted as necessary to care for our pups who can become stressed. She was so kind and loving with them. Just what we needed. I highly recommend Paula to stay with your four legged treasured family members.

Michelle is a great communicator, arrived when she said she would and instantly bonded with my dog. It was a great experience having Michelle stay with my pup.

Wyatt is awesome!! He is definitely a dog person and clearly knows different breeds and personalities. He took great care of my boys and I didn’t feel worried about them at all. I will absolutely call Wyatt before others in the future.

Maria is the best. She treats our home with respect and our pups with love. We always feel great having her stay with our furry babies.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Catherine house sit and care for our golden retriever puppy, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the love and attention she gave him. She kept us updated regularly with thoughtful messages and photos. Our pup instantly bonded with her, and we could see how much she adored him in return. She treated our home with the utmost respect. We highly recommend Catherine to anyone looking for a trustworthy and devoted pet sitter.

Cindy was fantastic this past week staying at our home and watching our dog Arlo. She was exceptionally communicative throughout our trip and went above and beyond to keep our home in great shape and ready for a late night arrival back in DC. Arlo was happy and clearly well cared for when we returned home.
