“Lauren was amazing! She was on time for our cat’s meal times and sent lots of great photos.”
“Danielle was outstanding! Her updates were detailed and brought smiles to our faces during our wedding/honeymoon trip. Our cats were immediately comfortable with her and she followed care directions precisely. She went above and beyond, even leaving us flowers to congratulate us on our marriage. We are so thrilled with Danielle and although we always feel sad to leave our kitties during a trip, we now know that they are in superb hands with Danielle and will rebook in a heartbeat. Thank you!!”
“Tessa is awesome. She helped me out with very late notice and was very communicative + attentive. She took great care of my two cats (who come with complex dynamics) and everything was in great shape when I returned!”
“Kaylynn took wonderful care of our cat. We felt great knowing he could rely on her and she gave us the best updates and photos each day.”
“Briana was great! She took great care of my babies. They loved her! She kept me posted every day how things went with them and sent me lots of pictures too. I will definitely be requesting her for my next time away!”
“Amy looked after our dog for the first time this weekend and she was absolutely wonderful. She asked great questions about meals, walks and our dog's routine and was very thorough in every detail. Amy kept us updated with photos and messages so we never wondered how things were going. Our usually shy dog warmed up to her immediately and I felt completely at ease being away knowing our dog was in such caring hands. We will absolutely work with her again!”
About: Growing up, dogs were always a big part of my life. My Border Collie showed me the importance of getting a dog all the exercise they need! Let me help you get some of those doggie zoomies out with a walk around the neighborhood. As a pet parent, I know how hard it is to leave your pet behind. I hope to ease your worry away by knowing your pet is in the best hands and I will treat them as one of my own. I have past experience fostering dogs from the SPCA and hope to put my skills to good use in your home! Currently, I work a full time job which has kept me from getting a dog of my own. However, I am available before 7:30 am and after 4:30 pm on week days. I am openly available on weekends and would love to spend time with your pets! My pets are my number one priority! If they could talk they would say they are two of the most spoiled cats out there. I have always had a passion for animals and making sure they get the best care. This means understanding each individual animals needs and catering to them to ensure they are comfortable and happy.
“Karlee was so thoughtful about sending me updates about my shy cat Stan, very responsive and she also maximized time with him not only taking care of him but also playing and cuddling with him! An amazing experience I will definitely rebook her!!!”
About: Ive grown up with animals and took an interest in training and sitting when I was around 10 years old. I have experience training and watching family dogs, reactive dogs, service dogs and puppies! I also have multiple animals of my own and am well versed in the different care that different species may need. When I am home, my attention is 100% on my animals. I do have a full time job in a neighboring city and am gone for normal work hours, but devote time and attention when I am home. In my own home, everybody has their own space. With dogs, cats and bunnies, each animal has the ability to socialize or spend time on their own in their space. Each animal has been trained to appropriately interact with each other.
“Hannah helped my little family out tremendously when she agreed to help with our diabetic cat, Jasper, last minute. She was quick to respond and detailed in her communication with us. Although our cat was difficult and afraid, she was still able to administer his insulin injection and make sure he ate food with it. This was thanks to her training and experience with scared animals.”
“Jess watched our 3 dogs for a whole weekend and they loved her! She was very accommodating when I needed to change drop in times around and made sure to give my pups extra love since we extended our trip. We will definitely be hiring her again!”
“Savannah is amazing! She came to visit and Bibiza fell in love with her immediately!! She is very punctual, knowledgeable, and trustworthy! I highly recommend her as a new addition to your pets life!!!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats in my home, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I started my pet care journey at 15, going all over my hometown to look after people’s pets, and I’ve loved it ever since. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, snakes, and even horses. I have alap spent time volunteering at different shelters both in my home state and Virginia. Each animal brings a unique experience, and I always enjoy the chance to connect with them and give them all the attention and love they need . I have a pretty flexible schedule, I am available most afternoons and evenings throughout the week. I am available after 6:30 AM and before 5 PM. I have a large fenced in yard where your pet can play lots of games and get exercise. If your pet prefers to be crated that’s not problem, but if they prefer to be out, that’s okay too!

Erica D.
“Erica is a lover of all animals!!! Not only was she a member of the “dukes for dogs” club at JMU, she also fostered a very nervous, closed-off dog, and built a strong relationship with him that brought him out of his shell and made him willing to trust again! I fostered a dog at the beginning of the school year and she always reached out to ask to play with him and watch him if I needed to leave to run errands! She also did the same when I took in a friends dog. Erica is extremely reliable, communicative, and attentive, as well as extraordinarily caring! I would happily trust her with any pet of mine knowing they are in safe, loving hands!”

“I have known Jackie for 52 years, she truly and honestly is my best friend. Through all of her travels and adventures she has stayed true to her love, dedication and protection of all dogs. What you will learn and appreciate about her……is her attentiveness, knowledge and compassion towards all animals especially dogs. Her communication skills are strong and she has a fondness for dogs with special needs. Jackie is very patient with dogs and people and upon meeting her you will feel comfortable in her company and most importantly your fur family will fall in love with her.
