“Hillary did an exceptional job with our three dogs! She kept us informed through frequent updates and photos of our furry companions playing with her children. The dogs always seemed delighted and cherished, receiving all the attention they deserved. It was a delightful feeling to know that our dogs were having a wonderful time while we were away. Upon our return, they appeared relaxed and rejuvenated, ready to greet us with enthusiasm.”


“Gunna had a great time and made himself at home with Jessica and her kids. He had a fun time playing in the large backyard and on his walks. Jessica was quick to respond, gave us daily updates, and above all was able to watch Gunna last minute.”


“Thank you Paul and Terri! Super sweet family and you made Bailey feel right at home. If I am in the area again I will be sure to contact you again. Thank you 😊”


“Brittany was able to answer many questions and provide a meet and greet prior to watching Bean. I had already met with 5 other sitters who weren't the right fit. Brittany came prepared to also ask me questions to Better understand how to best care for Bean. Lima Bean had a great stay even with thunderstorms present which causes her the most anxiety. She was spoiled and even came home with a cute Bandana. Brittany understood how important it was for me to receive multiple updates a day that encompassed pictures. This eased my mind that she was doing well. I would definitely recommend Brittany due to her pet knowledge and friendly personality.”


“Tera was excellent with Charlie. He doesn’t do well around other dogs and she sent me pictures of him interacting with other dogs. That let me know that he really enjoyed his stay. Thanks Tera for being awesome with Charlie.”



“Another FANTASTIC experience with Jeff and Barbara. Really enjoyed the pictures they sent me from Copper because I miss him so much while we are gone. They are very accommodating on start and pick up times and Copper loves getting to play with Ruby and Phineas, this visit he even made a new friend Bella. So glad we found Jeff! Happy repeat customers!”



“Our dog had a great time staying with Stephanie while we were in Williamsburg. Stephanie has a huge back yard where the dogs can run around, and she sent us regular updates on how he was doing. Stephanie was flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and made the whole process extremely easy. Highly recommend.”


“Amanda & Scott are the best! They have taken great care of our pouch about 5 or 6 times now and it's always a great experience. They sent picture and communicate well. As an added bonus, their new location has a great fenced in backyard for the pups to run all they want.”


“Highly recommend. They were able to take in my pup last minute as in the same day! They sent me pictures and updates on how he was adjusting and settling in. I will definitely be contacting them again if I ever need someone to watch Rocket.”


“Katherine did a wonderful job of opening her house to take such fantastic care of our baby girl!! Knowing that Mylee was so well taken care of, enabled us to enjoy our trip! Thank you Katherine for all you did to make Mylee comfortable and happy!”


“Lauryn and her family are such sweet people and Finn loved being with him. He got all the attention he needed and he came home calm I could tell he was comfortable with his caretakers. Their home was very clean and dog friendly. Lauryn was very communicative and I was assured through meaningful pics and texts that Finn was just fine and enjoying his stay. I am so grateful to have found her. Thank you so much for making our boarding experience a great success.”


About: I have worked with animals my entire life! I currently run a barn in Williamsburg with 18 stalls and teach riding lessons. Before that, I worked for. VCA for 6 years as a manager of the kennels and boarding facilities for cats and dogs, a vet assistant, and even went to school to become a licensed vet tech. I have a lot of experience with puppies, senior dogs, and animals that require any kind of medications. I also have some training and grooming experience! I run my own business at my barn so I have the ability to make my own schedule! I can come multiple times a day to care for your pets! I have a large fenced in yard and two very sweet female dogs who love to make friends. I also have the ability to keep them separate if needed and/ or in a crate. Can provide custom care if needed!

“Crystal is a fantastic dog sitter! During our meet and greet she said she treats her dog clients like she treats her foster children. And this is the most accurate description of the high quality of care that Laika received! Crystal thought of everything to make our dog comfortable in her home. Her grandkids came over to play with her and I know our dog was being loved on in our absence! I cannot recommend Crystal enough!”


“Excellent! Ciara is a great communicator and sent photo updates regularly. Our pups were clearly having a great time away from home. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again!”



“Sheva was very helpful and friendly. I was sent photo updates regularly. My puppy was able to social with her other dogs, big & small, and came home completely exhausted from all the activity she isn’t normally used to. I will certainly turn to Sheva again should I need a sitter in the area.”


“Rosalyn was great! Very responsive, sent lots of pics and even a video. When I picked my baby up he appeared to have had a good time. His temperament was cool and chill. Would definitely book with Rosalyn again and would recommend her to others.”


“Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Moose! We received pictures and videos multiple times a day. Her timing was perfection for his medication. He fully enjoyed his stay. I felt like Moose was the priority and extremely well taken care of. He has life necessary medication and she informed us every time, with proof, that he received it. This service was above and beyond our expectations. Thank you!”


“This was our first time using Rover. Tate and Rosie, our two yellow labs, had a great overnight stay with Ellie. She gave them plenty of attention and activity - like going to dog camp! We picked them up happy and tired the next day. Thank you for taking good care of them, Ellie!”


“My dog was loved and cared for by Lynn as if she was still with me! Lynn sent so many pictures and messages which assured me that she was doing well without me. I strongly recommend her as a pet sitter for anyone who loves their pet!”
