“Makayley did a great job. We could not have asked for better service. I think our puppy would go home with Makayley if she would let him. She sent us pictures every day with briefings on how our puppy was doing. He missed us for the first couple of days, but then he seemed to accept Makayley as his temporary master. I think we missed him more than he missed us!. Great job!”

“Jasmine did a great job taking care of our dog. This was our first time using Rover and we were hesitant, she took pictures of our dog and handled our big hyper dog so well. Highly recommend her! Will definitely use Jasmine again!”


“Alexandria did a great job with my kitty, Bea. When I got home Bea was calm, happy, fed, and her long hair was brushed. She sent photos and videos. The house was tidy! She even put out the trash for trash day. I would ask Alexandria to Bea-sit again.”


“This is the third time I've asked Viridianne to watch my cat while I was away, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about her. I’m so grateful to have found someone who not only takes great care of my cat but clearly loves spending time with him too. Every time I go out of town, I feel totally at ease knowing she’s the one looking after him. My cat absolutely loves her-it’s so sweet to see how excited he gets when she’s around. She doesn’t just stop by to feed him and leave; she actually spends quality time with him, plays with him, and makes sure he feels loved and happy while I’m gone. That means the world to me, especially because he can be a little shy and picky about people, but with her, it’s like he’s hanging out with an old friend. Viridianne is just amazing at what she does. She's reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely cares. I always come home to a happy, relaxed kitty-and that peace of mind is priceless. Both my cat and I are so thankful for her. Thank you so much, Viridianne!”

“This was the longest I’ve ever left my cat, Jack, and I honestly could not have asked for a better sitter. Jack is extremely shy and nervous around new people, so I was very anxious about leaving him, but Nicholas was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with him from the start. Within just a few days, Jack completely warmed up to him, which honestly says everything. I received beautiful daily pictures and videos, and it was so reassuring seeing how comfortable, happy, and loved Jack was while I was away. Because of that, I was truly able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was in such great hands. I came home to a very happy cat, and I’m so grateful for the care and attention Jack received. I would absolutely recommend Nicholas to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter.”

“Ken was great! He loved my animals like his own and he even gave us updates on our kitty’s even though he was there for our puppy! Great thorough updates will definitely use again if we need care!”

About: I grew up on a working farm, so I've cared for all kinds of animals throughout my life. My family and I bred, raised, and sold labrador puppies for many years. Neighbors and friends have also relied on me to feed, walk, and house sit their pets. I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is flexible allowing me to cater to your timeline. I prefer a week in advance notice, but if you're in need of last-minute care please reach out, I'd love to try and help. I live in a very rural area, perfect for walks and outdoor play with your pet! I have a fenced yard, pet-friendly indoor space, and crates for your fur baby if needed. *Please note* I do have a toddler, so if your pet is not child-friendly, please notify me in advance.
“Melissa was a fantastic cat sitter! She is a very caring individual who took very good care of our "baby", and was very kind, considerate and timely. She definitely has a great love of animals, and our cat was very well taken care of and loved. We would absolutely ask her to care for our cat in the future!”

About: I have been blessed to share my life with 4 Golden’s.... I love dogs and will give yours with the same love and respect as I have given mine I am self employed and flexible with a schedule... We take walks or just play outside ... sunshine and exercise and good for all pets. At this time I am not able to bring your pet into my home... however I am glad to assist you with your pets in your home
About: I have had a variety of animals my whole life! I absolutely love being around animals and spending time with them. I have taken care of dogs of all ages, all the way from newborn to seniors! I am available on weekdays only. I do work a breakfast shift (5am-11am) Wednesday to Saturday. However, I am available the rest of the day! I will have plenty of time to tend to your animals and take care of their needs. I have a very large unfenced yard that would be great for leashed activities like walking and going potty. I also have a fenced area that’s perfect for some unleashed outdoor time. I would keep any pets inside most of the time to ensure safety while I am with them. I do have a crate that I could keep your pet in while I am at work (if your baby is crate trained). All animals are allowed to roam the house and sleep in the bed if that’s allowed at home!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was four years old. In the last five years I have traveled the country and dog/house sat in 8 states for neighbors, friends, family, and friends of. I have had experience in puppy training and working with dogs of all ages and size. I will treat your dog as if it were my own best friend! I am responsible and reliable and if I am free I will help as soon as possible! I like to provide fun updates to owners about the adventures their dogs and I have. Warning: You may come home to your dog wanting to go home with me. I work remote so my schedule is wide open as far as availability is concerned.. If that changes I will communicate it. If I am with your dogs they are my first priority. I am laid back and very flexible. I take the care of your best friend very serious. I try to keep your dog on the same schedule that you keep them on, although they may get longer walks and more belly and shoulder rubs with me.
About: I have hands on experience with small breeds, large breeds, high energy dogs, puppies, and those who are shy or skittish. I don’t take a one size fits all approach, I adjust to each dog’s temperament, energy level, and comfort needs. Whether your dog needs structure, patience, confidence building, or just extra affection, I meet them where they are and care for them like they’re my own, and they might even learn a few new tricks along the way. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because animals are already at the center of my future. As a full-time college student working toward becoming a veterinarian, caring for pets isn’t just a side job, it’s hands on experience that strengthens my knowledge and deepens my understanding of animal behavior. I work part-time on the weekends, which keeps my weekdays flexible and open for walks, and quality time with pets. Spending time with animals is something that grounds me and genuinely brings me joy, so it never feels like “extra work.” It’s part of who I am and the career I’m building toward. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow your instructions closely weather it be feeding schedules, walk times, medications, crate routines, or any specific house rules you have. I take time to understand your pet’s personality so I can respond calmly and confidently, whether they’re playful, shy, high energy, or more protective. I’m respectful of your space, clean up after myself and your pet, and make sure water bowls, food areas, and yard spaces stay tidy. I provide updates so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own home, and you feel at ease knowing they’re in steady, caring hands.

“Raeann was great! She took great care of my two cats while I was away for a long weekend. Sent pics and updates, gave one of my boys his injectable medication each day, and gave them some extra loving on top of it too! Even vacuumed before I got home! It was wonderful peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of and would definitely book again!”
About: Hey hey, my name is Taylor and I’m located in Rustburg VA, I’ve been around dogs my whole life, from small to large. Animals are truly my happiness. I’ve house sat in the past that helped me to learn all I can about different breeds. I’m willing to travel anywhere from Danville, Martinsville, and Lynchburg. I work full time but with my schedule it is very flexible after 12pm. If all goes well would love to make this a full time opportunity. I have a large yard for your pet to play in as well as a dog of my own that will give your dog some company. She is very friendly and loves to play ball.
About: I’ve had/been around many different types of dogs my entire life. My family would always want me to come over and train/watch theirs animals for them like I was the go to person for anybody who got a new pet. I also use to volunteer at a boarding company to help feed/walk the dogs. I currently do doordash so I can pretty much fit any request in to my schedule. The most amount of time I would be away would probably be around 5-6 hours. I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like my own. I know how important routines are, so I make sure pets are fed on time, get plenty of attention, and feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and good at picking up on what each pet needs, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddles. I also like to keep owners updated so they can relax knowing their pet is happy and well taken care of.

About: Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Currently I have a pug, Pixie. I have had guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, turtles and cats before. Currently I work part time and have lots of extra time for walks. I am very flexible with changes if you need to add more visitis. I offer visits to your home, 30 minute and 60 minute walks, and transportation services. I treat you fur baby as my own and give them lots of attention.
About: I have worked with animals since I could walk. My mother owned a doggy daycare/boarding facility for the majority of my life and I have worked there since the beginning. I have worked hands-on with all sorts of pets and am prepared and accustomed to aiding other people's animals while they're away from their humans. I am currently working Monday - Thursday but am available all day Friday and the weekends! If your animal only needs a morning and evening check in during the week however, then that works for me! I care for each animal as if they are my own, giving them all the love, support, and care that my own animals get. If there are any specific needs or requests, then I am more than willing to implement them into my care as well.
