Very sweet and attentive to my energetic, playful Rottweiler that thinks he's 15 pounds still. Was available on short notice and very punctual!

Annalise took such great care of my pups. Let me be clear - there were four prep meetings leading up to her actual stay because of how challenging/anxiety-ridden my dogs can be. She has been patient, understanding, and willing to work with them where they are at. Throughout my five-day trip, I received ample photos and videos which I loved. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were getting tons of snuggles, their meals on time, and lots of outside time. All in all, I came home to happy pups and I'm so grateful. I've already booked with Annalise again! Highly recommend!

Lydia was FANTASTIC with our anxious pup and two cats! The dog and one of the cats have medical needs and Lydia handled them with expertise. She took the time to find a great walking path to give our dog daily walks since we are new to the area. She was a pro with his anxiety and kept him comfortable the whole time we were gone. We felt so comfortable and were fully able to relax. We highly highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker or house sitter - you won’t find anyone better!

About: Not only have I grown up with cats and dogs, I’ve also been responsible for the care of my friends’ and neighbors’ pets on multiple occasions. From playing with little kittens to helping a senior pet with medications, I’m ready for anything and can’t wait to love on your pet! I am not currently working, so my schedule is very flexible to fit the needs of your furry ones! I can spend however long pets might need to feel comfortable. If you have cats, I’ll be sure to give them the attention they ask for! Whether that be cuddling, playing, or sleeping. I will never invade the space of a cat if they are apprehensive or shy. If you have dogs, I’m ready to play a rough game of tug of war, walk around, or snuggle up on the couch (if permitted). And if you have both, that’s great—I’m ready to support them!

Natalie is nothing short of amazing. She really does treat your pet like it’s her own. She stayed at our home with our 1 year old golden retriever who is FULL of energy and I never felt like he was stuck in the house or bored. He seemed comfortable and happy based on the photos she sent us! I want to gate keep her all to myself but 10000/10 recommend to all pet owners!

I highly recommend Vana and we look forward to booking again with her soon. ❤️ She did a wonderful job with our dog Bodhi, taking him on walks, sitting with him at home and bringing him to our dog park. She communicated with us clearly, sent text and photo updates throughout the day and had a wonderful meet and greet to get them introduced to each other. Can’t wait to see you again Vana! 🐶

About: I’ve owned dogs for my whole life as well as rabbits, cats, fish, and hamsters. I’ve professionally cared for cats, dogs, and horses as well as being a part time volunteer at the RHSPCA in my free time where I do dog walking , cat socializing, and working in the animal clinic I have experience caring for both senior dogs and cats as well as experience administering topical and oral medications for both kinds of pets. I am also able to house calmer large dogs however I know i unfortunately cannot provide adequate exercise for high energy dogs as I am a full time summer student so I will not be at the house sometimes for a few hours at a time in the early morning. I am happily able to care for any breed of dog or cat as well as any care level however with animals on specially timed diets or routines may not work in my schedule so please message me to check in! Please feel free to message me at any time as often as needed, I will always have my notifications on and will at the latest respond within a day and will do my very best to be able to accommodate most, if not all animals <3 Currently I am a full time student, I have most weekday afternoons/evenings off as well as my weekends are typically free. Please check my calendar as well as reaching out to me as my availability is flexible! If in my own home your pet will get their own room as well as having no interaction with the other pets (at your discretion) as well as only using food and items provided by the owner. If I do an in home care I am extremely respectful of other people places I will not bring anyone else over I will exclusively be there to care for the animals and that applies to dog walking as well. I intend to build good relationships with my clients as to build a good repertoire for my Vet school applications

About: I’ve been around pets for most of my life. Starting when I would take care of my family fishes when I was younger. Then, later, with our family dog, a tiny Maltese named Lucy! As of late, I’ve spent my time watching over my friends’ two kitties, as well as helping them with their dog sits when they need an extra hand! I am currently a full-time student at JMU. I have plenty of availability during the summer, and when the school year begins, weekday nights, and weekends! By being friendly and gentle, I hope to create a safe and fun atmosphere for your pet(s)! I am communicative and reliable, and will always make sure to give you updates and photos, so you can see how your pets are doing when you are away!

Stef was a wonderful pet and house sitter. I came home to a happy dog and a clean house! She sent plenty of pictures and videos while I was away, and was quick to respond to texts. My dog is very attached to me, and Stef helped me relax, knowing she was giving her lots of walks, cuddles and attention. I would definitely book Stef the next time I travel!

About: I have had cats and dogs all my life (along with a few other pets). I also volunteer with cats and dogs at an animal shelter and my job is at a doggy daycare center. I have taken two years of a veterinary science class as well. I’m currently working part-time at a doggy daycare center, so my schedule will vary from day to day. I will update my availability as necessary and as soon as possible. I will care for your pets at your home in any way I can. I will be able to feed your pets (as long as instructions are provided), play with your pets, and walk your pets.
