About: What sets me apart from other sitters is how deeply I care about animals. I’ve grown up with two cats and one dog who are like family to me. I take pride in giving them the attention, care, and love they deserve, whether it’s long walks, brushing and feeding them or just spending time with them. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just spending quality time, I always make space in my schedule to give animals the love and attention they need. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it without hesitation. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, their safety and comfort come first. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and pet friendly! I will of course follow any routines or instructions provided closely, because I know how important consistency is for animals.
About: I have been a cat parent for my whole life in which I have administered medication to them including eye drops, ear drops, liquid & pill oral medication. I have also grown up around dogs as well given that most of my boyfriend and friends are dog parents. I have walked their dogs before and taken care of their cats as well. I can clean litter boxes, food bowls, vomit, etc. I currently am a student at James Madison University, so message me for specific availability during the week. Additionally, I do not have class on Friday, and am mostly available during the morning and mid afternoon. I am willing to come multiple times a day and multiple days a week unless I have a prior engagement. I have an orange tabby cat that is strictly indoors to optimize his safety against potentially harmful animals, insects, and people. I care for my cat and those I have taken care of by respecting the boundaries that their owners have set regarding indoors or outside pets. I clean their food and water bowls every day before I give them food. Also, I will play with them frequently unless they do not want to engage. I believe adhering to the pet's needs as well as their owners is deeply important.
About: I've provided care for cats and dogs ranging from kitten and puppy to senior. I've been walking and doing daily in-home visits for several years, as well as taking care of my own animals.

I'm usually avaliable on short notice and can make earlier morning or later evening visits or extended visits during vacations.

I like to create an environment for pets where they feel comfortable and relaxed. I love giving them lots of toys and playing with them, but knowing when to give them space or let them nap.

Hannah M.
“Hannah is fantastic. She did a great job taking care of Toby. She sent me updated with each visit. We will definitely book her again!”
Sarah P.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Highly Recommend Sarah! Sarah has watched my dog, Princess, on multiple occasions — I’d estimate around 8 to 10 times — and every experience has been nothing short of amazing. She’s stayed at my apartment while I was away and always took great care of both my home and Princess. I’ve always come back to a clean, orderly space and, most importantly, a happy and relaxed pup. Princess can be pretty energetic, so it’s been a huge relief knowing she’s in good hands with someone who genuinely loves dogs and stays active. I never worry about whether Princess is getting enough exercise or attention — Sarah goes above and beyond every time. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring dog sitter, I can’t recommend Sarah enough. She’s been an absolute lifesaver!”

She goes above and beyond to help us out!”

Adrian M.
“I have a 4 year old poochon who is a bit shy with strangers and the way he gravitated towards Adriane had me so surprised!! He allowed her to give him a belly rub which I’ve only seen him do to the immediate household members that live in the house. Adriane definitely has a warm and friendly spirit to her that my little guy Cody drew towards. Adriane made sure his feedings were on time. She not only walked him but also took him to the dog park in our neighborhood and sent pictures to update me throughout the day. Cody’s fur is very high-maintenance and needs to be brushed everyday. Adriane took care of that for me and gave me one less thing to worry about when I got home. I highly recommend her services and I look forward to having her watch Cody again!”
Elizabeth D.
“Elizabeth is great! Super dependable and communicates very well. Luna would love to see her again!”
