“Ms Brianna has helped me since day one! I was worried about moving and finding someone to take care of my puppers but she came through and started communicating with me before my move to reassure me he would be taken care of. I’m so thankful for her and so is Mr. Puppers.”

“Nataleigh is awesome. She was very flexible about the appointment time and shows up in time! She has taken really good care of our Sela who is recovering from knee surgery. I would highly recommend her.”

“After our initial appointment with Cayla we decided she was the right person to care for our two dogs over the summer. Cayla shows genuine concern for their wellbeing. She is very observant and let us know when she noticed anything that needed attention, her reports indicated at times if he was showing signs of decline or signs of improvement (He is 13 1/2 years old). I also looked forward to reading the adventures of our 3 year old dog on her walks. I highly recommend Cayla to care for your pets. If I could give her 100 stars I would! Because the bottom line is when you have a senior dog with special needs (like needing medicine, eye drops, sometimes coercion to eat his food, etc.) you want someone who is going to be patient, gentle, professional and reliable that you can trust with their care. I hope that this review helps you make the right decision of booking Cayla to care for your pets!”

About: I have been around dogs all my life. I love and enjoy caring for them I .have watched my family and friends dogs on many occasions. I live in a quiet neighborhood on a cul-de-sac. I have a great fenced in backyard that leads to a private road that I take my dogs on for a walk. I will treat your dog as if it were my own. I will give your dog lots of love and attention. This is best job I’ve ever had. I am retired from the health field. I am available to sit for small and medium size dogs that are friendly to other dogs. I live in a quiet neighborhood on a cul-de-sac. I have a great fenced in backyard. The dogs love their walks.. I will always treat your dog as if it were my own. I will give your dog lots of love and attention. I love the companionship. I have a great fenced yard with a gate that leads to a private road and wooded area. The dogs have a great walk there.

About: I grew up around dogs most of my life, big and small, and treat my own dog like he’s my son. My husband Alex also grew up around dogs and is an experienced dog sitter. He grew up watching his mom care for dogs, who not only was a sitter but also trained dogs for leading the blind. Together we own a young Samoyed that we spoil to pieces and loves to play with other dogs. To our friends and family we are very reliable when they are in need of a sitter, and we understand the importance of needing to leave your loved ones with someone you can trust. We never leave the dogs outside by themselves, we take them on walks whenever we can, and we don’t let them sleep alone. We will let your dogs be part of the family and be their home away from away from home. I work part time and don’t have to commute very far for work, so I’m home more than half the time to care for your pet! My husband is in the military and has most nights and weekends off. We have a fenced backyard with plenty of grass. There is also plenty of space inside the house for your dog’s crate/bed and other belongings. Our dog loves to play and keep other dogs company.

“Ciara did a great job walking and feeding our dog Skippy. He is finicky eater and she got him to eat all his chow. She definitely has a way with animals. I highly recommend her services.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm routine, I take the time to understand their unique needs and make them feel comfortable and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, even while balancing travel and a summer job. I carefully manage my schedule and only accept bookings when I know I can provide pets with the time, attention, and care they deserve. By August I move back to school at JMU, but during summer and winter breaks I’m open to helping family’s with their pet needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special care instructions before services begin. I carefully monitor pets during walks, playtime, and feeding, and I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their space and maintain a clean, calm environment. I provide lots of affection, supervision, and personalized care so pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

About: I love playing and spending time with animals. I am very respectful of the owners and responsible for what my job is. I’ve taken care of friends animals as well as family animals when they visit my home. Never a dull moment with pets, have cared for those with disabilities and very young puppies. I enjoy walking myself so long walks are something I love doing. I am also an outside person so playing with animals outside is good. I’m flexible with my schedule to a certain point. I have 3 of my own dogs and take care of my boyfriend’s two dogs, so plenty of experience in that sense. I own 3 of my dogs and manage to take care of my boyfriends two from time to time. So dogs are not a lot of work for me, my schedule is quite used to it. Always have them on a leash at all times to ensure they are within reach for me. I also will always have an eye on them to make sure they are not getting into anything they aren’t supposed to.

“Really nice and professional and he was available even though I booked him at the very last minute. He treated both of my pups so well and I would definitely book Jim again!”

About: My daughter's dream job is pet sitting so I am allowing her to be my assistant. We both LOVE all fury friends. I have had pets my whole life. Growing up in the country (NWPA), we had dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, and ducks. I learned alot about basic care as well as successfully treating various health conditions holistically because vets were not well versed in small animal care where I grew up so my mom and I learned alot of homeopathy, herbal, and flower remedies supporting the health of our pets over the years. I can also offer reiki for calming pets that are hyper or in poor health. I was very active in rabbit and dog 4H as a kid and learned dog training at the age of 12. My darling 9yo daughter Denise is an aspiring pet sitter and we are both available to offer much love and care to your fur babies. I also love gardening and can look after plants too. :-) I am currently working part time from home with flexibility in my schedule so we can be available as needed for your convenience. We would love to offer drop in visits but eventually can offer boarding as well. We are available to check in on your fur babies, offer fresh food/water, dog walks, play breaks, administer meds, and can send picture updates via text.

“Stephanie was great! Super flexible with my last minute request and arrived right on time. My pup was pleased when he returned from his nice long walk and so was I. Thanks for an awesome first Rover experience Stephanie!”
