“Aubrey was fantastic! She was able to help out with last second sitting. Very responsive and great with our girls. We will be contacting her again!”

“Brittany was super fabulous and excellent. She took wonderful care of our Gracie Girl. Gracie is a prima donna and was a bit of a challenge to get to eat while we were away for 6 days, but Brittany persevered and won. She also took great care of watching our home in our absence. We could not have asked for more. We have also booked her for October, we were so pleased with her excellence. We highly recommend Brittany for home and dog care.”

“Hillary did an amazing job and kept me up to date on Lexi! We will definitely use her again!”

About: Hi, I’m Hannah!👋 I’ve grown up caring for dogs of all kinds and have experience with puppies/kittens to seniors. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and energy levels. I’ve also recently fostered cats over the last two years at JMU, so I’m happy to help care for a variety of animals. I truly love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! I currently work part-time in the mornings during the summer. This leaves the early afternoon into the evenings to care for your pets. Some days I am available all day! I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, drop-in visits, or staying in your home to keep your pets comfortable and cared for. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends! I am able to provide excellent care for animals as well as tidying up around the home if needed. I will care for them as if they were my own and follow your directions to the letter. I am responsible and trustworthy and can provide references if needed.

About: I have been a passionate dog lover for as long as I can remember, and dogs have been a part of my life since childhood. Growing up with two dogs and caring for them sparked my lifelong dedication to their well-being. At just 10 years old, I turned my love for dogs into action by starting a dog-walking business, which quickly grew into a steady after-school job for six years. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every dog is unique and perfect in its own way, and I strive to provide them with the highest level of attention, compassion, and professionalism. I’ve also found that dogs naturally gravitate toward me, making it easy to build trust and create positive experiences for them. Beyond my experience and deep love for animals, I am reliable, easy to reach, and offer a flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. Whether your pup needs a daily walk, extra playtime, or just a caring companion, I am here to ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Let’s make every walk the best part of your dog’s day! 🐾 Im currently a full-time student and athlete in college! I have a wonky schedule and was looking for specific time that is flexible with my schedule. I am a very active person and will normally jog with pets unless age or disabilities prevent this. I am always happy to accommodate; I have just found that higher intensity exercise makes for a happier furry friend!

About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for a variety of animals, from energetic family dogs to my own cat, Charlie. My background isn't just in the basics; I’m experienced in administering medication, managing specific dietary schedules, and providing high-energy exercise for larger breeds. As a student at VWU, I have a predictable weekly routine that allows me to offer consistent early morning, mid-day, and evening visits. Because I live/study locally, I’m able to be flexible with my timing between classes and can easily accommodate last-minute requests or regular daily check-ins. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine and ensuring your space remains secure. I treat every home with the utmost respect, staying diligent about locking up and keeping areas clean. During our time together, your pet has my full attention—whether we’re on a walk or playing indoors—and I’m happy to provide frequent photo updates so you have total peace of mind while you're away.

“Ali was so amazing. Our cat loved her so much, she kept us updated with so many photos and videos, and was so accommodating and available last minute! Will definitely be using her again - our baby made a new best friend💜”

About: Dogs are just the best! I had a furbaby (Labrador) of my own for 14 years and have been around puppies, seniors, and those with special needs. I am a former volunteer with the Humane Society. I enjoy going for walks with a pup and am happy to look after any plants or kitties also. When doing sits in your home you can count on me to be clean and respectful of your place. I would care for your pet like I would my own. I will make sure to give them attention regularly. I enjoy going on hikes and will take your pup with me when I go if you would like. I will do my best to maintain the routine that your pets are accustomed to. They will get 2-3 walks a day plus additional potty breaks.

“Lauren took great care of my pets and my house was also well taken care of. Both my pets were tired and well loved when I got home which is always a relief! Lauren also does a good job of communicating and follows any care instructions very well. Will use her again!!”

About: I've had a deep love for dogs since childhood, and my passion has only grown over the years. I currently have a miniature labradoodle named Finn, whom I've potty trained, taught a variety of tricks, and worked with on behavioral improvement. Additionally, I gained hands-on experience at Doggstuff, a local pet store, where I had the opportunity to learn dog training techniques directly from a professional trainer. I'm also well-prepared to handle any emergency situation involving dogs, ensuring they are safe and well cared for at all times. My combination of personal experience and professional training sets me apart as a reliable and knowledgeable pet sitter. I’m a rising junior in college and am home for the summer, so I have a flexible schedule. Besides my blocked off dates, I am available most days. I work a steady job Monday-Wednesday and Fridays from 9-3, but am always available before and after ! For overnight visits and walks, my priority is always the safety, comfort, and well-being of your dog. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to maintain their routine and environment as closely as possible. I create a secure and calm atmosphere, ensuring your dog feels at ease while you’re away. For walks, I tailor the length and intensity to your dog’s energy level and preferences, whether it's a leisurely stroll or a more active outing. I also stay alert to their body language and surroundings to avoid any potential hazards. I’m committed to building trust with both you and your pet, offering constant updates and staying available for any questions you may have during the service. Whether it’s overnight or a simple walk, I treat your dog as my own—providing love, attention, and care throughout the entire visit.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid, of all types. My most recent breed was a Saint Bernard/Great Pyrenees. *He is not with me currently* I’ve had other large breeds, small breeds as well. I have training in ABA, and I know what it’s like to trust a stranger with your family. As an active duty sailor, I am on shore duty and have found myself with more free time than I could’ve ever imagined. Take those weekend trips you’ve been putting off, and know your doggo is in good hands with me Weekends (Friday-Sunday) are likely the best, but with advanced scheduling I can do during the week as well. If local to Virginia Beach or Norfolk, drop ins are not a problem at all. If you want your dog to stay home, house sitting is an option as well I live in a two bedroom apartment that’s pretty spacious and has vinyl flooring. I am only a few hundred feet from a dog park The community is very dog friendly, and your canine family will have no shortage of friends during their visit

“Angie is absolutely amazing. Took a last second booking and was able to stay at the house and watch the dogs. The dogs loved her, the house was taken well care of during her visit. Would recommend 10/10. If we leave town, we will be rebooking.”

Dylan C.

“JaNasia is incredibly kind, patient, and responsible. She was able to handle our small zoo without issue and was always responsive and easy to reach. Will definitely be reaching out to book with her again!”

About: Lifelong dog owner and lover of animals. I will care for your fur baby like he or she were my own. Potty trained 2 puppy litters. I work full time so my best availability is on weekends and weekdays any time after 5. I can do afternoon walks if close by. I have a friendly Jack Russel that loves to make friends and play. We will make your fur baby feel at home away from home

“Mary was great house sitting and watching my two high energy dogs (Aussies)! She did daily walks as well as playing in the back yard + was able to accommodate their special needs (prescription food for one and chewable meds for the other). I would absolutely recommend her as a dog walker or sitter as she loved my dogs a whole lot.”

“Great and reliable!”
