About: I have had pets since I was born. I currently live with four dogs and two cats and help take care of them. I can walk dogs on short and long walks. I can house sit any pets or check in as needed. I have a cat of my own named Clementine. She is an affectionate two year old who loves to play. My sister has a cat of her own named Ace. She is six and prefers her space. She will find you when she wants attention or wants to play. My parents have four dogs. The oldest is Ripley at eleven years old. She loves affection and to cuddle. Penny is a Westie mix who is eight years old. She is a sassy dog who will wrestle her way into getting love. Her brother, Balin, is an eight year old German Shepherd. When he is not barking at one of the neighbors walking on the sidewalk, he loves to play ball or play with his sisters. The youngest dog is Artemis. She is a two year old German Shepherd who cannot stop moving. She loves to play and be outside for as long as she can. I work Monday through Thursday from 8am to 3pm. I am free Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I give pets amble opportunity before I go to work to use the bathroom, eat, and stretch their legs before I leave. When I get back I take the pets out immediately and feed them when scheduled. If I do leave the house, I try not to be gone for more than 4-6 hours. I can follow all of the instructions to the letter. I understand everyone has preferences how their pet is taken care of. I would love to know any quirks or routines your pets may have. I like to update after every visit. For house sitting, I will send photos and an update in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I can provide more updates if desired.
“Chris did a wonderful job watching my three girls. He did a house watch for me. The house was clean and nothing was out of place. I will use his services in the future and I recommend him to watch your pups.”
“I want to give a shoutout to Lucas! He took wonderful care of Luke. He was prompt and followed all our instructions to the letter. Lucas was so patient with Luke. It's clear he really cares about animals—Luke seemed happy and well-rested when we returned. We'll definitely be requesting Lucas again.”
“Heaven is an angel. We love her and our pups love her even more. Her professionalism is unmatched to any other sitter we’ve encountered. Thank you so much for caring for our babies while we were away on holiday.”
“Myndee was fantastic! Our dogs took to her right away! She was prompt, sent pictures and videos. Very sweet and kind, you can tell she has a love for animals! Definitely recommend and will use her again!”
“Hello, For a last minute booking, Anna was very professional and communicative during the process and her visit with our wonderful zoo. Would recommend and we will keep her in mind for our next getaway. Thanks again Anna. Dave”
“Sydney house sat our Great Dane puppy for 2 nights and did a wonderful job. We received constant communication and pictures throughout the stay. I’m definitely a helicopter dog mom and she always made me feel better about leaving our puppy with her.”
“Jaimie was great with my dogs! I got constant updates about how they were doing and lots of pictures. One of my dogs is shy and Jaymie instantly understood and worked well with her to gain her trust. After picking them up from a weekend stay, my dogs have slept all day… so I know they were kept active and exercised during their stay.”
“Tiffany was great! She was prompt and professional and took great care of Maggie. She took her for walks and outside to play while we were away. She also has good dog management skills which were obvious when she came to meet Maggie and get instructions. She immediately calmed her down and brought her energy under control. Our house was neat and everything was in its place. We will definitely book her next time we are out of town!”
“Erica was great! She was great with my dogs and constantly updated me. I came home to a clean house and happy dogs. Thanks so much Erica and hope we can use you again!”
About: I have always loved all kinds of animals! I have experience with numerous kinds of dogs and cats, of all ages and demeanors. I have housesat and pet sat since I was in High School, and can help look after your plant babies as well. I also have Volunteer experience at my local dog shelter, so I know how to deal with dogs in high stress environments. I do work afternoons on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday, but even then, I am free beforehand and am always back before dinner time. I will prioritize your pet and can offer to go over multiple times a day, and I’m free the whole day when I don’t have work! I prefer to care for pets in clients homes since they are more used to their environment and because I have roommates at my home.
“Gabriel did a great job taking care of our dog, Lexi. He was responsible, attentive, and made sure to meet her specific needs. We could tell she was well cared for while we were away, and that gave us real peace of mind. Highly recommend Gabriel to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Bethany was my first house sitter and she was amazing throughout the entire process. It was my first time booking a house sitting, and I had zero anxiety from start to finish letting an unfamiliar person into my home with her. She provided constant updates as the days went by, with pictures of everything also! Upon meeting she was very inquisitive about what care needed to be provided for my doggo, and she exceeded all expectations. My only regret was not booking her for the whole two weeks during my out of town venture. I very highly recommend her for any pet needs you have, and look forward to utilizing her services again!”
About: My family and I have fostered cats and dogs and provided hospice care for a dog with cancer (1 year) until she passed. I understand all breeds and their unique energy needs and activity levels. Medical care and aging limitations would be understood and can be tended to with your pet care needs. I work full time M, T, Th, F, Sa 8am until the deliveries are complete (can range from 2pm to 6pm). When I am not home, there are other family members present (spouse works, dad is retired). In the afternoon and evenings, my children will be attentive to any animals kept at my home. I enjoy connecting with all animals. Our weekends are more hectic with soccer season in full swing. Some weekends we may be elsewhere in Virginia with limited care depending on the weekend, April through June. We have a small fenced in yard with the ability to take your pet out for long, short, or frequent walks. My kids would provide any extra loving and attention while your pet is in my care. I kept a friend's cat for a week. When that week was up, her cat didn't want to leave. Whenever I visit them, the cat finds me to snuggle while I am around. Animals can sense the love and kindness within our family.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 8. For the last 7 years I have taken care of my neighbors pets, cat and/or dog. I would be more than happy to take care of yours! I am a college student home for the summer, I am not working and always home so I am always available for taking care of your pets as if they were my own! I have a deck, plenty of open space near my house for your pets to run around, I also have a dog who is friendly and would love to keep yours company.
“I am kind of an overprotective mom with my boys. Lauren took very good care of my pups and my home. The boys warmed up to her pretty quickly. She let me know when one of my dogs didn't seem to be himself and responded to his needs after reaching out to me. I will definitely call on her again to sit with my boys.”
“Dustin was great with my dogs and followed my senior dog’s med schedule like I asked. I have nervous girl that was unsure at first but Dustin won her over and they were getting along great by the end of the visit. Dustin also went above and beyond and stayed late waiting for me to get home and not leaving the dogs alone.”
“Chelsea was absolutely amazing. I had her come to my house and meet my Buddy right away, I knew she was the one!! My dog takes medication no problem giving it to him. She just has such a nice way about her and her love for animals. Definitely will be having her back to watch my Buddy on our next vacay. Highly Recommended”
About: Hi there! My name is Sam and I have experience sitting for all types of animals. From cuddly Pyrenees, and scary-smart German pinschers, to spunky chinchillas, their best cat friends, and curious pythons. I have been through partial behavioral training for dogs (and their humans), and have experience with animal hospice situations, as well as behaviorally aggressive dogs. I prefer to keep the animal's care as consistent as possible. The more details you have of your preferred method of walking, reward, or preparation habits, the better. Trust and care are my number one goals when it comes to animal sitting. Not just with the four legged babies, but with the parents as well. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with your care provider, and what a treat it is to know that you can trust someone with the care of your loved ones. Also, aren't dogs just perfect? I work for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and am currently on telework, so my weekly availability is early morning, and late afternoon. I also volunteer at the Old Dominion Humaine Society and occasionally foster for them at my house. I have one <1 year old puppy, and I have a home with a large yard but no fence. That means all foster dogs get leash walked always and there are many mind teaser toys for rainy days. I feed in crates and make it a safe space for them to decompress.
About: I love pets! I will make sure your pet is well taken of and loved while you are away from your home! I have taken care of a few different pets! I have a busy schedule, but I can make accommodations as needed :) I’m mainly available on Mondays and Thursdays and during the evenings anytime. I make sure your pet is fed and well loved. I will walk your pet 2-3 times a day. I also will spend lots of time with your pet, so that they don’t feel alone.

Lela was incredible! We had a tough situation where a sitter had an emergency and Lela was able to quickly step in and take over while we were already on vacation. She was so patient with our quirky rescue pups and was so communicative with us. They quickly acclimated to her and she was just a joy to have caring for them!
Shortly before leaving for a two week international trip I was left trying to find a long term, overnight sitter on short notice for my dog. Aubry was quick to respond to my request and was very open with how long she would have to leave my dog to attend classes or walk another dog. Even so she left Lucy-Mae for no more than a few hours at a time. She kept me updated and even gave Lucy-Mae a bath during her sit. I feel a huge weight had been lifted knowing someone like Aubry is available to help care for my spoiled little girl and will absolutely be booking her for future overnights or random walks I need covered.
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Jessica! There’s never a doubt in our minds that our Nelly is well taken care of when she’s with Jessica. She sends multiple updates throughout the day and captures the best photos. It’s clear she is thoughtful, attentive, and loves our pup like her own. Thank you Jessica!
Mary was awesome from day one. Very responsive. Showed up on time to meet and greet. Even better was her stay. She was great! Bear slept with her and he never does that so he must of felt super comfortable. She sent me lots of pictures and updates. She was on time. Was there the majority of the day with the dogs. Took them out. Loved on them. It was a great experience for the pups at home and some much peace of mind for me states away! I would book her again. Bonus, she was very respectful of the house as well!
I had a wonderful experience Heidi. She's reliable, kind, and clearly love what they do. Communication was excellent from start to finish—I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving care. I will definitely be booking again!
Cheyenne watched our dog Luna in our home while we were away, and she took excellent care of Luna. She sent tons of pictures and extremely detailed updates of Luna’s days. She sent the updates as frequently as we had agreed upon, and she made sure to send them at predictable times each day. She went above and beyond in the care she provided for Luna, including taking her for extra walks. She made sure to enforce the rules we have for our dog and she left our home spotless. We can’t recommend Cheyenne enough, and will absolutely be booking her again the next time we need pet care. She is hands down the best dog sitter we’ve had.
Jenny was absolutely fantastic! She kept in touch often throughout her stay, which was very much appreciated. She was caring and considerate for Sweden and Hamish. She treated them as if they were her own dogs. She also took very good care of the house while being away.
