About: Hello! My name is Alyssa and I am a 20 year old college student remotely studying Psychology and Criminal Justice. I’ve had dogs and a cat since I was young and was always held accountable to take care of them! I took a Veterinary Science class in High School and dealt with animals on a daily during this course (Bunnies and Puppies.) I have recently owned hamsters and fish as well that were 100% my responsibility. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have 4 years of paid experience with pet sitting for neighbors. Animals deserve the world and I love to make a difference in their lives even if they don’t understand it :) I am also willing to negotiate pricing based off your animals energy/need for attention/etc. Please reach out to me with any additional questions and I’d be happy to answer! I am currently a college student who is taking online courses to work on getting my degree. Other than daily assignments, I have no other daily commitments and will be available 90% of the time, other than my planned unavailability on my calendar! I have a large front and back yard with plenty of room to play. I do have an indoor/outdoor cat but she keeps to herself and is never a bother. I could easily keep her separated from your pet. If in your home, I will be sure to take all the steps you request and go above and beyond to ensure you and your animals are comfortable.

“Caitlin helped us out last minute and was extremely accommodating to our senior dog with anxiety. She shared pictures and her response times were great. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: Just a runner training to make the Olympics. I run full time which is fun but doesn’t pay the bills yet. I work and train while coaching on the side. I live in Ballard and have transportation so getting around and taking care of pets isn’t an issue! Love working with all types of animals. House sitting is always fun. I have been house sitting since I was 14 and get asked every so often to fill in and watch the pets while keeping the house clean. Willing to do anything to accommodate and make things as easy as possible for owners! Can’t wait to get started! I’m currently working full time hours, but I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate most pets needs to be fed, walked, or played with I tend to ask questions about what the pets are allowed to do in home so that way I’m not breaking any rules or teaching unwanted habits.

About: I have experience in daycare/boarding settings, i have experience with high drive dogs, I do dog sports with my own personal dog so i am pretty confident in my handling skills. I have done years of research on dog related things some including understanding body language, knowing when a dog is uncomfortable or needs to be removed from a situation, what things are good and what are bad, how to use training tools properly if needed, learning the genetics of dog breeds and just over all temperaments that certain breeds have. I grew up on a farm full of dogs and other animals ive always owned dogs especially bully breeds ive been around dogs will all ages, behaviors and sizes my family and friends all know my love for animals and how good i am with them and how much i care about them even when they arent my own. I currently am unemployed, i am a stay at home dog mom and aside from the occasional grocery store run i am at home with my dogs. I will care for your pet to the best of my ability and under any instructions that may be given to me. I will care for your pet like they are my own and keep them as safe as possible while under my care!

“We had a wonderful experience with Philip and Lily! They took the time to come meet our dogs before the booking, which really helped our peace of mind—especially with our very nervous, slow to warm up dog. Their patience and care truly stood out. We received thoughtful updates while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We’re so grateful to have found reliable and caring pet care, and now we finally feel comfortable traveling again!”

About: Hi! I’m Tiffany,, a lifelong dog lover with 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just a cozy cuddle on the couch, I’m here to provide the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. I treat every dog like family — because they are. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always happy to follow your dog’s specific routine, medical needs, dietary needs, and quirks. From high-energy puppies to mellow seniors, I’ve cared for them all. Let’s make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re gone. I’d love to meet you both! 🐾 I do have a full time job that I work M-F 8-5. I am available to to swing by before or after work, as well as stop by on my lunch break so long as your house is in close proximity to my job. I am willing to stay at your home during the week as well to give your pet the attention and care they need around working hours. I have open a availability on weekends! With my home being small I am only able to accommodate inquiries that have me coming to your home. I will care for your home and pet as if they are my own! I ask that you leave me any specific details regarding routine (feeding times, medication times, etc.) to make the process easy and comfortable for your fur baby!

“Thank you Rhea my fur baby’s never missed a beat , it was an easy transition. Rhea was on time sent plent of fur babies pics have fun. She cuddled my babies treated like they were her own. I highly recommend Rhea for house sitting. Even when one of my fur babies had an accident she cleaned up with no hesitation. We truly ❤️You for your outstanding service. I can tell you truly love ? what you do. Thanks The Canady’s”

“Ashlyn did a great job watching our three peis. She was very communicative and sent updates with pictures. She was able to meet all their needs including administering medication for one of them and she left the house was neat and tidy. I would definitely recommend her and would also use her again.”

Bridget D.

“Symone was absolutely amazing. All the dogs warmed up to her quickly. She was very attentive to all their needs to include endless puppy snuggles. She checked in regularly sending picture updates. I would use her again and would recommend her!”

Dawn B.

“Ashley was a wonderful sitter! She was very responsive and sent tons of pictures of my two dachshunds. She took such good care of the girls while we were away. We’d love to have her back anytime to sit for Harley and June. 🩷”

“Victoria is great, she is always very responsive and cares deeply for the pets she looks after. You can tell that she loves what she does and that she cares for your pet as if it were her own. My dog absolutely loves her and gets excited every time he sees her. I would definitely recommend her, and will absolutely hire her again in the future.”

About: I, myself, own a senior dog and look after her well. I dog sit for family and friends when need be. I have also shadowed at a Veterinary office and work at one as well. I’m completely free every day until I leave for college on August 20th, so I can give your pets my full attention Monday through Sunday; walks, playtime, and all their care need I make sure that they get used to me first before jumping into caring for them. I allow them to realize I am trustworthy and here to feed them and love them.

About: I've loved animals since I was a kid and have cared for many throughout my life! I was tasked with raising my family dog since she was a puppy when I was in high school, and I helped my college roommate with her puppy! I have walked/boarded many dogs and cats since moving to Virginia! Being in the military, my coworkers travel a lot so I have become the workplace's go-to "pet auntie." I genuinely love to spoil pets and providing them with a safe and homey environment while their loved ones are out! I have a fairly flexible work schedule so I can come back to my home or to your home to take care of your pet! Early morning, lunch, and evenings are especially free, so I can work around that depending on your needs. I do not own pets, so they will be here as a single child in the case they are boarded! Crates, food, litter boxes, etc will need to be provided as I don't own those things. I have access to many parks around my neighborhood, so walkability is not an issue!

About: I work at Banfield in Newport News as a vet assistant. I currently have a senior dachshund named Leo who’s great with other dogs and cats. My work schedule varies month to month. I can walk dogs or take care of pets in your home if my work schedule allows, or I can board in my house (dog friendly dogs/cats or small animals). I also have years of experience medicating dogs, cats, and small animals, and can trim nails on dogs and cats. I work 10 hour shifts, 4 days a week at Banfield. It varies each week but I do get a monthly schedule each month. I usually get my monthly schedule at the beginning of the previous month I usually take my dog out every 3-4 hours to go potty while I’m home. If your dog has a routine he/she follows, let me know and I can accommodate!

“Abigail and Victor were super flexible and easy to work with. They took time to do a nice meet and greet and were very prompt with their service.”

About: I’ve never lived a day in my life without having a dog by my side, and I can confidently say that I can’t imagine it any other way. From puppies to our older friends, I love them just like they’re my own. After many years spent with different breeds, sizes, and ages, I am also well versed in pet first aid and common health conditions. I am especially fond of senior dogs and would be honored to care for them. I have recently begun a full time job in Richmond but still petsit often since I truly enjoy it. My schedule best suits check ins with pets in the mornings or evenings. You will never have to worry about how your baby is doing. Because of my own personal (and very anxiety inducing!) experiences with being away from my boy, I am very diligent about keeping pet parents in the loop.

“Kellee took great care of Peluche while we were in DC overnight. He was a happy boy! We are looking forward to having her back to care for him in February.”

“Melanie was very communicative and my dogs seemed to love her!”
