Brianna was a wonderful pet sitter! She spent plenty of time making sure that my cats were taken care of. She left detailed notes after each visit. I don't think my cats even missed me while I was gone!

Jillian did a great job. She showed up at the appointed times, fed the dogs and gave them a bunch of "sugar". My dogs just love her and really enjoy her company. I don't worry about them when Jillian is taking care of them.

We are so amazed by the care that Rita provided our boys when we were away. We knew from our initial meeting that she offers her services because she loves pets so much. We will definitely only hire her for our future needs and we recommend her without reservation!

About: Animal care has been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember, starting with caring for my lineup of family pets at a young age. With 8 years of experience as a veterinary assistant in a small practice, I developed a strong foundation in hands on, compassionate care. I earned a degree in Animal Science from Virginia Tech and went on to complete a Masters degree, where I worked with a wide variety of species. Now, as a PhD candidate, I continue to care for diverse animals, with an emphasis on high quality husbandry, health, and well being. Providing attentive, knowledgeable, and reliable care is always my top priority! As a graduate student, my schedule is variable but highly flexible, which allows me to accommodate pet care at different times throughout the day. I can work closely with pet parents to create a schedule that fits their needs while ensuring consistent and reliable care. I provide care exclusively in my clients homes to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. Care is tailored to each pets needs and may include feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or yard cleanup, playtime, and enrichment, along with administering medications if needed.

Tilly was an angel! We had someone else from River arranged and they backed out at the last minute and thank goodness for Tilly! She took such good care of our senior dog who has some special needs, sent great updates and even better pictures of Gus hanging out with her. She stayed at our house and it’s clear she took great care of it and our boy! Thoughtful, caring, and our best River experience ever!

When we decided we were going on an extended vacation - we knew exactly who to contact! The person who gives all the TLC to our cat and the best communication while we are away, Morgan! She continually gives the best care to your fur baby and goes above and beyond knowing your loved one and your home are taken care and safe. Thank you for the great care and peace of mind! A+++

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong love and experience with animals. I grew up caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand their needs. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy, and I provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to follow routines, administer medications if needed, and give owners peace of mind while they’re away. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I’m free most evenings and early mornings during the week, and I have open availability from Friday through Sunday. I can provide feeding, playtime, cuddles, litter box cleaning, and regular updates while fitting visits around your schedule. Even with my classes, I prioritize making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. When caring for pets in your home or mine, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment. I follow your cat’s routine for feeding, litter box care, and playtime, and I make sure to provide plenty of attention, affection, and reassurance. I observe their behavior closely to ensure they’re happy and relaxed, and I handle any medications, like flea or parasite treatments, calmly and carefully. I also provide regular updates so you know your cat is well cared for and content while you’re away.

About: Some of my pet experience includes bathing dogs, taking care of dogs for friends, having my own dog who i care for, and loving all animals. I’ve trained my dog to for certain commands which i believe is very helpful. All my friends come to me when they need someone to take care of their fur babies! I am a college student with a work load, however no job. A lot of my days are spent in my home doing homework and pet care fits into my schedule because I can always be there to play and take you pets out. I don’t have very long classes either or in a big stretch so your pay would be cared for almost 24/7 I care for pets as if they were my children haha! In my home, I have bowls, treats, and toys for your pets. In your home, I would respect the space and take care of your pet as if it were my own.

About: Ever since I was born I had an animal right by my side . I have learned to take care of animals and provide for them. I have taken care of friends, family and neighbors pets in the past. I also have worked at a dog daycare called tail chasers so I have experience with big dog groups. I’m good with cats as well . I’m experienced with walking multiple dogs at a time because I got 3 myself. I’m currently working 3:30 am to 12:00 pm so I will have plenty time to spend with your animals. I’m free on the weekends as well . Willing to come to your place to house sit and take care of your animals. I have done that in the past for people. Willing to also stop by and give water, food and walks with some play time on the side .

Rachel is a wonderful cat sitter! My cats were very happy and well taken care of, and even Bella, who is very shy around new people, warmed up to her. Rachel was also very easy to talk to and sent daily updates.

It was a pleasure meeting Abby. She was a good fit for Charlie who doesn't always warm up to new people. She kept up with the litter and his food, and changed his water. And she took time to visit with him and play---and he continued to play more with his toys than he usually does when we got home. We appreciated her detailed notes and the many pictures. It was really nice to be able to take a vacation and know that Charlie was being visited by Abby.
