“Can not say enough good things about Mandy! She understands that puppies have a different energy, and needs, from adult dogs and navigates the care of both my pups beautifully. She genuinely cares about my dogs and their well being. Very grateful to have her as our sitter.”



“I had a great experience with Cathy! Her communication was excellent - she was responsive, clear, and kept me updated with detailed messages. She recognized my cat was overly anxious while I was away and she was more than willing to adjust the plans to fit my needs. Would highly recommend and will be booking for future services!”


“We could not have been happier with the care Allyson provided to our cat Harry this week. Allyson sent detailed updates with photos for each visit (we had her visit twice daily while we were gone). She bonded really well with our kitty. She also appropriately clarified questions regarding care for his chronically blocked tear duct. We will for sure be booking her again. Highly recommend!!”


“Shannon was absolutely great! On time and took lovely care of my cat. I loved the photos she provided and I came home to a very happy pet. Very reliable and would happily recommend her.”


“Kelsi was amazing and she gave me constant update with photos of all my pets. I can not tell you how wonderful she is. I have one rescue dog with an abusive background and she can be very slow to trust. Kelsi was able to earn her trust. We already have plans to travel again and will only ever use Kelsi as our pet sitter in the future.”


“Chloe is terrific! She came out for a meet-and-greet before my scheduled stay and I could immediately tell she is experienced with animals (and my kitties loved her)! She sent great updates and loads of pictures while I was away, giving me complete confidence that my cats were in good hands. I will definitely book Chloe again and I highly recommend her.”



“Laura was terrific with our two little dogs. Great communication. Photos after every visit, so I'd be reassured all is well! Will definitely hire Laura again in the future should the need arise.”


“Thank you thank you! Thumper loves you and you were right about his ears. I hope you have a wonderful spring and I will definitely book you again when I need someone!”


“Anna was great! She followed all of our care instructions, and she arrived early each time to her visits. She sent updates and was very caring towards our kitties. If you're in the Glen Allen area and you need someone to look after your cats, I highly recommend Anna!”


About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, including dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes, cats, fish, and even ducks! I have a deep love for animals and always treat them like family. My experience includes everything from high energy puppies to senior pets who need extra attention. I understand that every animal is different, so I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. Whether that means following a specific feeding schedule, giving medication, or making sure they get plenty of play and cuddles. I’m reliable, attentive, and passionate about making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule and work from home specific days during the week, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and in-home care on weekdays and weekends. Whether it’s a walk or overnight care, I make sure your pets get the time and attention they need! I tailor my care to meet your needs, whether that’s walking your dog, stopping by for check-ins, or staying overnight in your home. If your pet stays with me, they’ll have access to a fenced yard and will be kept company by my roommate’s friendly dog, Maggie. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust, and I’m committed to making your pet feel right at home, wherever that may be.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was little and have always been the designated pet-sitter in my neighborhood. I have watched puppies as well as elderly dogs, and am equipped to take care of their individual needs and routines! I am currently working part time and have a very flexible and open schedule. I have an active lifestyle and prefer to take multiple walks per day and will happily bring some furry company along! I also wake up early so I can make sure your pets are fed and taken care of within their normal routines. I have my own car that I am able to take over to clients’ homes to watch their pets at any times. And my own backyard is fenced and ready for boarding dogs. I have a small dachshund/yorkie mix that is very social and two sweet black cats that love company as well.

“Hallie was an excellent sitter for my two kitties. She cared for them during my week of vacation. She stopped by twice a day to feed and pet/play with them. She was always on time, sent me pictures and a short message with each visit. Hallie truly cares for your pets and takes pride in her work. She communicated with me promptly with any questions or concerns which was comforting for me. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family.”


“Very communicative and was awesome! My mom and I live about ten minutes away from each other, but we both went on vacation so we booked Krystal for both of us with close times together. She made it work and worked with us on it. Highly recommend!”


“Tiffany is WONDERFUL!! She took such great care of our Luna. She sent a ton of pictures and videos, and really stepped up knowing we had just lost our other cat just before our trip. I cannot say enough good things about her!”


About: I have taken care of many dog's of many kinds. For three years I take care of bulldogs and Frenchies and even littles. I have taken care of dogs all my life at home. I make sure they have fun and are comfortable. I can feed and walk and have playtimes with your fur babies. I also take care of some cats and I can feed and pet. I can cuddle with them as needed too. I love my pets and they are so adorable. I make them feel like part of my family and they have so much fun they are tired at they end. I take care of my dog and other dogs outside my home. I am available most days so just let me know if you need a sitter. I spoil my dogs at home with treats love and affection. I take my chocolate lab on walks. Take them out when I get back from school. I cuddle my babies. When I go to clients homes I take them on walks if aloud. Feed and give them affection. I can sleep with them in bed. Some I have taken care of go in crates. I can give medication to dogs or cats. I have had some picky eaters but have gotten them to eat.
