We booked Casey to stay with our pup in our home while we went on a 2 week vacation. Casey was professional, personable, and organized from the start. We met for a short meet & greet before our trip, Casey was on time and prepared the day of our departure, and she provided frequent updates and pictures of our pup during our trip (which really put our minds at ease). Upon our return, our pup seemed perfectly normal and balanced, our house was well taken care of, our plants watered and even our mail had been brought in by Casey. I can 100% recommend Casey for dog/house sitting.

I am so thankful to have Eyowyn care for my dogs. It was the first time leaving my Velcro pets. She worked patiently with us when we had last minute changes. She was able to calm them and they enjoyed her visits. Her confidence in being able to handle the situation allowed me to relax and enjoy my weekend away. I am so happy she will be in the area for another year!

She is excellent! I highly recommend her for dog sitting. She kept in communication with me throughout the entire dog sitting. She sent me pictures of cuddling with my dogs which I really appreciated. She also took good care of my home while I was gone. She is awesome and I would recommend her to everyone.

About: As a true animal lover who misses her pets while away at school, I’m excited to offer hands-on care for a wide range of animal companions. I’ve raised cats, dogs, rabbits, and chickens, and I also work closely with the animal lab at the Science Museum of Virginia in my hometown of Richmond. There, I care for reptiles, amphibians, fish, and even arachnids, giving me both the compassion and confidence to care for exotic pets of all kinds. I’m a full time student at JMU, with classes M-Th, I am offering all day/as needed care on weekends starting Friday after 1pm. I am open to drop-ins and walks after 6pm weekdays, except Tuesday. Being that I’m a student, I do not offer pet care from my home, however I always have a mindful approach to offering in-home pet care for clients. Don’t hesitate to communicate concerns or boundaries regarding

About: Welcome to my profile! I have been caring for + rehabilitating animals into thriving health my entire life. Having grown up with dogs, cats, chickens, and wild animals, I understand that our furry friends are members of the family and need the highest level of care possible. I have experience walking and caring for dogs and cats of any size and age. When on walks or caring for pets, I am committed to giving them my undivided attention (no texting and walking!) and treat them as I would my own. Happy to accommodate for animals with special needs. I live on a large property and am able to provide animals with an abundance of exercise, fresh air, and activity! Thorough walks guaranteed. A tired dog is a happy dog! My love and passion for animals transfers into the high quality care I provide. With my experience in rehabilitating unwell animals, I can provide thorough and holistic care + attention towards every need. My intention is to up level their quality of life with my care! I look forward to giving many belly rubs soon! I am an extremely active person and spend many hours outdoors with community. Due to this, animals thrive with me and our weekly fun activities. I am extremely clean, organized, and can offer extraordinary house-sit care, along with attentive and loving care for your animal + plant friends. I can offer consistent exercise for your animal friends, as well.

About: I love animals, especially doggos! I grew up around dogs, and I have been house and dog/cat sitting since I was a teenager (20ish years). I will ensure your animals are cared for, comfortable, and loved! I primarily work remotely, which means I’m usually available during the day to check in, except when I’m staffing events at work. On weekends, I’m quite flexible and can easily check in with our fur babies as often as needed! Unfortunately, I can only provide care, sitting, and walking at your home. My apartment does not allow pets at this time, but I have a flexible schedule!

But when she met Abigail for the first time, she immediately warmed up to her. We will rebook with Abigail again!

I have a 4 year old poochon who is a bit shy with strangers and the way he gravitated towards Adriane had me so surprised!! He allowed her to give him a belly rub which I’ve only seen him do to the immediate household members that live in the house. Adriane definitely has a warm and friendly spirit to her that my little guy Cody drew towards. Adriane made sure his feedings were on time. She not only walked him but also took him to the dog park in our neighborhood and sent pictures to update me throughout the day. Cody’s fur is very high-maintenance and needs to be brushed everyday. Adriane took care of that for me and gave me one less thing to worry about when I got home. I highly recommend her services and I look forward to having her watch Cody again!
