House Sitting in Goode

“Aliya is great with my pup! He’s always excited to see her and when I get home he is happy and calm. She takes him out for walks and runs him. He is always fed appropriately. She is very tidy in the house and respectful of my space. I trust her being alone in my home overnight and I am so grateful she is able to help me take care of my sweet pup.”

“John is absolutely great. His calming demeanor really helped my nervous pup be comfortable. John stayed at the house with my pup and 4 cats. He gave good updates and followed instructions. He left the house clean and orderly. Thank you John for being so helpful and respectful! Will book again 😀”

“Charles was absolutely wonderful with Owen and Seamus. He was communicative the entire time, sent great pictures, and made everything feel easy and under control. Both of my pets clearly felt comfortable with him, and I appreciated how helpful and attentive he was throughout the stay. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, genuinely caring sitter.”

About: I have taken care of a variety of pet and animals since I was young. I myself have 2 dogs, 4 cats, and even a couple goats. I am very comfortable around a variety of sized animals and have experience not only with my own pets but also sitting for a variety of small and large dogs as well as cats. I am currently taking part time classes for the summer and will potentially be working part time during the week. With that being said, I will be available in the evenings and at various times throughout the day depending on my schedule that week! I am very flexible and would love to work with you to ensure your pets have the best experience. I have experience working with dogs from under a year to more senior in age, as well as puppies to large breeds. I am available to stop in for potty breaks throughout the day, do meals and such in the mornings and evenings, and stay over to house sit overnight if needed. Some other experience I have is working with additional pets such as cats, reptiles, and small critters.

“Arabella & Dylan were very attentive to Makkachin. :) They tag teamed her care like pros, Arabella tapping in before Dylan left, and in total were with her for 5.5 hours, never leaving once! They were punctual, attentive to directions, which they followed to the letter, and gave her tons of attention and exercise, full of play, walks, and snuggles. They also fed her and kept her safe. She was happy and worn out in the best way. I would definitely use them again!”

“Maddy was great with our two dogs! She was very prompt and professional and provided updates/pictures. It's definitely a relief to know they are in good hands when we're away!”

“Carsyn is very communicative, left the house super clean, and my old dog very happy. I enjoyed the photos and how respectable she was of our space.”

About: I’ve helped family and friends with their dogs for years and hope to be able to help you as well. Whether it’s a planed trip or life just getting in the way I’ll make myself available to help out in anyway I can. I’m a student at Hamden-Sydney College just outside of Farmville, Virginia. I am routinely in town especially during breaks and would love to help out in anyway I can. I am available to swing by to let dogs out during the day or take them on walks around the neighborhood. Just let me know what you’re looking for as I am definitely flexible.

“Kelsey was great. We had one of our air conditioners go out just before we left. Kelsey handled the issue with no complaints. The dogs loved her and she kept us updated our entire trip.”

About: Hello! I have 2 years of experience with dog walking + a handful of occasions where I have been trusted to pet-sit / board. I consider myself a loyal dog (and cat!) owner with a great work ethic. For the 2 years of dog walking, I walked a German Shepard — his name was Val. I walked Val consistently, in weather that ranged from 90-40 degrees Fahrenheit, up until his owner moved into a nursing home and Val was rehomed. I loved the big guy like he was my own dog - filling his water, scooping out his dog food, brushing him out, and playing fetch. I never missed a day I was scheduled unless there was a sudden change in plans (I was sick, she cancelled my walk, or an event took place where I couldn't arrive in time to walk him). Recently, my family has adopted our beloved goldendoodle puppy — Corduroy. I love him unconditionally, and so much of my free time is spent helping him get his energy out. I am a homeschooler, with all days free except for Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings. For walking purposes, I am available any time it is not dark outside and not preoccupied. Please note that my price for drop-ins, overnight care, and dog walking vary by location. The closer you are, the cheaper it will be. Below is how I determine payment: 0-5 miles from my home and/or workplace = $40 per night / drop in / walk Every additional 0.5 mile is $1 I make sure everything is taken care of. From basic expectations to leaving the house exactly how I found it — if not better. If it’s not my house or my pet, then I’m obligated to go by my clients rules.

“Trina is a gem! I feel so lucky to have found her and she took wonderful care of my kitty Izzy. So good in fact I didn't even get meowed at loudly on my return 5 days later! She played with her, fed her let her sit on her lap as much as she wanted which was a lot I'm sure. She's very conscientious and I felt like she cared for my kitty like she would want hers cared for. Izzy looks wonderful and wasn't traumatized by my leaving. BTW, my cat is 17, deaf, arthritic with kid ey disease who is super attached to me so I was terrified to leave her. But once I met Trina at the interview, I knew she would love Izzy as one of her own. I highly highly recommend her for persisting and overnights. She's the best!”

“Fantastic job taking care of our dog and cat. Both for walks and overnights. Followed our instructions and pets look well cared for. Definitely recommend.”

“Cody took extreme care of my 13 year old pup by house sitting for an extended weekend. Murphy felt right at home and was given all the love and care he needed. Cody administered Murphy’s meds properly and gave daily reports on how Murphy was doing. Will definitely use again!”

Bryan Michael B.

“Alyssa recently stayed at out house and took care of our pup Emma. We rated her 5 stars because 6 stars wasn’t an option. She and Emma got along great and she kept us informed the entire time. She took immaculate care of our place and we think Emma was a little sad to see her leave. We look forward to having her come back.”

Randy B.

“All the pets liked Siara. We were happy with everything including the way she left the house. We will definitely ask her to house/pet sit again.”

About: I grew up in a home that had many different kinds of pets- from pups to kitties, to rabbits & guineas! I love being able to give them the love that I would give my own. I have a golden girl of my own now that is my best friend, and I hope to share that love to your fur babies. I am currently working part-time only, so I have the ability to care for your babies around that schedule and what works best for you! My golden girl can be kept in her own space at home, so that I am able to provide a safe space for yours, if needed. She is free to roam when I am home, and is also very comfortable around other animals.

About: I have 3 small female dogs of my own-2 chihuahuas and a shih tzu mix. I have helped my family care for them for around 7 years. I care for my 3 small dogs every day with my family. I feed and water them in the mornings and evenings. They are taken out every 2-3 hours by myself or someone else in my home. I care for pets by treating them like a part of the family. When caring for pets in others’ homes, I respect their boundaries and space. I follow all instructions closely, keeping things tidy and on schedule. I can send updates and pictures so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.

“Eleni watched our dogs at the last minute and was readily available for a meet & greet, where our dogs bonded with her instantly. Sent us photo updates & kept good communication throughout our being away. Happy to know we can call in her whenever we need someone to sit our furbabies!”

“Miranda demonstrates a passion for animals and caring for them. We booked her to drop in and let our dog Teddy out and make sure he was cared for while we were on vacation. She showed up for our agreed upon schedule and more than met our expectations for care. She sent us regular updates about him and was accommodating to our requests. We would definitely book her in the future if we need someone to care for an animal.”
