We booked Steven for an extended amount of time and for quite a few pets, probably not the easiest job, but he was amazing! I highly recommend him.

Caitlyn did a wonderful job! She came before my trip to need Ophelia and learn what needed to be done and how to care for her. She showed up each evening on time and sent pictures , brought in package for me and let me know if anything was out of the norm! I highly recommend and will have her in the future!

Paola was great with my dogs. She was on time. Communicated well. This was very last minute and she was very accommodating. My dogs are worn out and sleeping great tonight. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again.

My fur baby is not overly friendly. I didn’t think he would come out for Krystin but he did AND he let her pet him. I am amazed. Krystin has that something special pets sense. She is awesome!

About: I’ve had and loved pets my entire life! (I was convinced I was going to be a vet until I realized I would very likely sob every time a pet got sick.) From my black lab, Raven, to my cats Lily and Langston, to now, my long-haired chihuahua, Midge, animals are just a part of the day-to-day! Since age 12, I’ve been petsitting for friends, family, and neighbors (including overnight stays) and cared for dogs who are super energetic, playful, and independent to dogs who experience some anxiety and might need a bit more attention❤️! I also have experience caring for a bit older doggos. My black lab, Raven, lived to 16 and as her mobility and needs changed, I changed with her and it really taught me to be very attentive, gentle, and adaptive to a pets needs. I’m comfortable and experienced with walking, feeding, brushing, playtime, litter boxes, and loving and attention when pets want or need it❤️! So whether your pet is super energetic and playful or just wants a calm, reassuring companion, I’m happy to match their vibe and energy and make them feel loved and at home☺️🐾! I’m a rising junior at Virginia Tech and home for the summer, working part-time as a server in the Fort Hunt/Hybla Valley area. I have a super flexible schedule and lots of free time to spend with your pets, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or whatever else your pet might need😊! Mainly, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home with walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays! I make sure to stick to their routine, make sure they get plenty of playtime, attention, and exercise (or just hang out if that’s more their style!) I don’t usually host pets in my home, but I’m super flexible and want to make sure your pet feels happy and loved, and I’ll always make sure to send updates and pics📸🫶!

About: I am a dog lover and have my own little one (7 year old Chorkie) who is spoiled and treated like the furbaby he is. I promise to treat your precious furbaby the same way. I pay close attention to all signs and they will surely have a pleasurable stay. I work remotely Mondays and Fridays and available on weekends. I'm available Thursday evenings as well. During those times, your pet will have adequate walks and potty breaks as needed, along with specified feeding times, per your request. I have a fenced back yard which they will not go out alone. I will be out there with them at all times to ensure their safety. I have adequate security around my facility as well. I live in a safe and animal friendly neighborhood, so they can definitely go on leashed walks as well.

About: I’ve been raised with animals my entire life, my mom worked as a vet tech so I got to see in the in and outs of a vet my entire life even helping clean kennels and feed dogs/cats. I went on to work a dog/cat boarding facility for the last 3 years. I have ample experience taking care of dogs and cats, from tiny breeds to giant ones I’ve loved all the ones I’ve met! I have recently moved into the area, I have all the time to hang out with your pets while your away. I can check on them multiple times a day or stay with them overnight if needed. I'm a follow the routine kind of person, Id follow your routine as close as possibly if not exact to keep your fur babies stress free. We'd have plenty of outside time while I'm with them, and cuddles.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels for many years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive to routines, patient with anxious pets, and always focused on keeping animals safe, comfortable, and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take pride in providing reliable, loving care. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for drop-ins, walks, and other services on weekdays after at any time. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and consistent care while fitting seamlessly into my routine. My home is a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I have one friendly, well-socialized yorkie and always introduce new pets slowly and carefully. I’m happy to crate pets if requested and strictly follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special care instructions. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

About: I’ve grown up caring for animals and have had 2 cats for 10 years and 2 dogs for the past 4 years (in separate homes). I have experience with dog walking, dog sitting, and cat care, including feeding, playtime, while their owners are away. I am very comfortable handling different personalities from energetic dogs to independent cats. I am responsible and will treat your pet like my own while following any instructions you provide. I am also very active, so I enjoy keeping dogs engaged and getting them the exercise they need! I am currently still in school, so I am only available on weekends at any time. After this month, I will have more flexibility and be available any day of the week. I have a fenced yard and two friendly Labrador mix dogs. I make sure pets are always supervised, safe, and comfortable, and I focus on keeping a calm and secure environment based on their needs.
