“Tiffany was fantastic with my pets for overnights. She sent pictures and made sure everything was taken care of. She always contacted me if she had any questions. Highly recommend!”


“I found Mackenzie when I ended up needing to find a new Dogsitter when the one I typically used had to unexpectedly cancel last minute. She was able to step in last minute and care for my 2 dogs. I am grateful for her ability to work with my large skittish white shepherd. She was able to follow the care instructions I left and stayed in contact with me during our week away. I would highly recommend her.”


“Dustin was awesome with my 2 dogs and really took the time to get to know them. He sent updates throughout the day and made sure Bailey and Roscoe got plenty of exercise. Dustin was also very clean, did not leave a mess and put everything back where it was prior to his departure. Highly recommend.”


“Erica was prompt with all communication and I’m pretty sure my home is cleaner than I left it. I appreciated her frequent updates, especially considering our dog can be a handful. I’m glad to have found a trustworthy sitter who is willing to care for our pet in our own home. We’ve already booked her again!”


“Lauren was amazing and took great care of our two pups. She kept us updated on them the entire time we were gone. We’ll definitely be looking to her for future care!”


“Mary was amazing with our anxious pup! She came and met us and our dog the week before our trip. She took the time to get to know us and all our pet’s needs. Mary sent many updates and pictures throughout her stay at our place. She was incredibly patient and kind. We can’t wait to have her watch our dog again in the future.”


“Barbara was wonderful!!! Right before we left on our trip, Luke was diagnosed with Pancreatitis and a UTI. Barbara still agreed to come and stay with him. So, in addition to his seizure medicine, she gave him additional medicine for his recent diagnosis. Barbara texted me at least twice a day and sent pictures. Luke was happy and eating again. We were SO PLEASED with the care she gave Luke and will definitely call on her again.”


“Kristen took very good care of my buddy Stripe. She is responsible, reliable, sends updates and pics to ensure all is well. I would definitely recommend her and hope to use her again in the future.”


About: I've been around dogs from a very young age and truly believe that there is nothing better than being with a dog. At 12 I begged my parents for a dog that I have diligently taken care of since. My love of animals inspired friends, family, and neighbors to ask me to look after their pets long before I even realized that pet sitting was a job. Wether its going on walks, sticking to a feeding schedule, or enforcing house training i treat every dog as my own. As a university student at home for the summer, my schedule is very flexible so I am available for last minute booking, daily care, or extended stays. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same care and respect as your own. I follow all routines closely (walks, feeding, etc.) to keep your pet comfortable and safe. I know how important trust is when someone inters your home, and I take that seriously.

“We have decided to call Sierra the dog whisperer. We arrived home to a calm puppy, clean house and relaxed kitties. Sierra was/is great with our fur babies and especially our crazy doodle. We plan to use her whenever we need a sitter.”



“The BEST sitter we have ever had! Rebecca did an incredible job taking care of our 3 dogs while we were on vacation. I sometimes worry when I'm away from my dogs, but this vacation we were able to really relax because we knew the doggies were very happy and that's all thanks to Rebecca! You will be very glad you put your trust in her!”


“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.”


“Matisa was wonderful with our 2 dogs and 2 cats! She even stayed an extra night at last minute when we were stranded at an airport on vacation. We appreciate her willingness to be flexible!”


“Gabrielle is an excellent dog sitter/house sitter. Extremely trustworthy and very thorough. She was very patient with my senior dog and also provided medication on time. Gabrielle was always communicating with me. Would recommend her. She goes above and beyond!”


About: I would love to assist you in having peace of mind when you're away from your pets. I currently have one German shepherd who has working a working dog drive and obedience. Over the past years I have foster many puppies and dog with Old Dominion Human society and love providing care and comfort to all animals. I want to offer your pets the same safe, fun and loving experiance that I offer to my pets, so please allow me to come take care your pets and enjoy the amazing area that we live in Weekly I have a high drive German shepherd who required a lot of attention walking and running to give her the life style that fits her breed. This is very dependent on the client home and the level of obedience / comfort of the pet. If the pet has a secured back yard for the dog to run an play there’s many things we can do to stimulate the pet physically and mentally such as place training, fetch, scatter feeding in the yard to mentally stimulate the pet etc.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for my own dogs and cats. I offer walking, sitting, and overnight stays with lots of love and attention. I’m reliable, gentle, and treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s a walk or a weekend stay, your pet will be safe, happy, and well cared for! I have a part-time job with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to plan my days around pet care. This gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, and overnight stays throughout the week. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them safe and comfortable. In your home, I respect your space and stick to all care instructions. At my home, pets can enjoy a large yard and a small fenced area for safe outdoor time. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

About: Growing up in a house with a variety of pets taught me that animals aren't just pets—they're family. With a psychology background, I use positive reinforcement to bring out the best in every dog. I'm currently caring for my two middle-aged and senior dogs who need 10 daily medications, so I understand both puppy energy and gentle senior care. As a fellow pet parent and nature lover, I know how important it is to find someone who truly gets it. Your dog will get the same love and attention mine do—because that's what they deserve. I recently left my corporate job to seek a healthier lifestyle. I am in the process of building a business which gives me lots of flexibility to care for your dogs needs at any hour. Early mornings, mid-day, late evenings and even overnight! Just reach out and we will make it work! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities in their own familiar environment. I keep your home secure with doors and windows properly locked, and I'm mindful of any specific safety concerns you've mentioned about your pet or property. I stick to your pet's exact routine—feeding times, walks, medications, everything—because I know staying consistent helps them feel secure when you're away. It's just me giving your furry friend the one-on-one attention they deserve in the comfort of their own space. I treat your home with the same respect I'd want for mine. I'll handle small tasks like watering plants or bringing in mail, and I always leave everything exactly as I found it. You'll get regular photo updates so you can see your pet is happy and relaxed at home. With experience caring for my two senior dogs who need daily medications and close monitoring, I know how to spot when something's off with a pet's behavior or health. If any concerns come up, I'll contact you right away. Your pet gets the same attentive, loving care I give my own-because home is where they're most comfortable.

She truly treats pets like people, always making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Tiffany has a natural instinct for reading animals’ needs—whether a pet wants to play, needs a nap, or is feeling under the weather, she picks up on the cues right away. She’s the kind of person who not only takes amazing care of her own pets but also goes out of her way to help others be better pet parents. I’ve watched her share thoughtful advice about food, health, training, and even the best local vets. Her heart is fully in it when it comes to animals. I honestly can’t think of anyone I would trust more to care for my pet than Tiffany.”
