“Star and Jack did an amazing job taking care of my senior girls. This is my first time using them and will definitely rebook. I felt so confident that my pups were getting the ABSOLUTE best care while I was away. So happy that I book them!”


“Darian was amazing! She house sat for our three cats, two dogs, and backyard chickens. She gave us peace of mind knowing she was responsible, caring, and professional. She really cared for our animals like they were her own. We will definitely be asking her to take care of our girls again in the future and I would recommend her to anyone.”


About: As a true animal lover who misses her pets while away at school, I’m excited to offer hands-on care for a wide range of animal companions. I’ve raised cats, dogs, rabbits, and chickens, and I also work closely with the animal lab at the Science Museum of Virginia in my hometown of Richmond. There, I care for reptiles, amphibians, fish, and even arachnids, giving me both the compassion and confidence to care for exotic pets of all kinds. I’m a full time student at JMU, with classes M-Th, I am offering all day/as needed care on weekends starting Friday after 1pm. I am open to drop-ins and walks after 6pm weekdays, except Tuesday. Being that I’m a student, I do not offer pet care from my home, however I always have a mindful approach to offering in-home pet care for clients. Don’t hesitate to communicate concerns or boundaries regarding

“I'm almost afraid to leave an honest review. BECAUSE, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO BOOK HIM AGAIN! And I don't want him to be too busy. He did a wonderful job with our dog and our house. Saxon got all the exercise he needed, then apparently slept the afternoon away. Our home looked exactly how we left it. Maybe even better. Finn came for a meet and greet with Saxon and asked great questions about what Saxon likes and does not do, or should no do. We were very pleased and would definitely book him again.”


“My dogs love Sam! Sam asked good questions and made sure he understood all the medication and special needs. He played with my youngest and cuddled with my older dogs. Sam arrived on time and kept me updated. My dogs were relaxed and happy when I got home and the house was spotless. My boys are looking forward to more visits with Sam!”


About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle older dogs, such as my own. I tailor my approach to each animal’s needs. What sets me apart is my calm, patient energy and attention to detail—I don’t just watch pets, I get to know them. I have experience with basic training reinforcement, senior pet care (including administering oral medications), and making nervous animals feel safe and loved. Whether it’s a long walk, structured playtime, or simply keeping a routine, I care for every pet like they’re my own. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible and open schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. With no classes or school obligations right now, I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits—whatever fits your pet’s routine best. I love spending my summer surrounded by animals, and I’m fully committed to giving each pet the time and attention that they need. Safety and trust are my top priorities in every pet care situation. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all owner instructions carefully—from feeding schedules to medication dosages—to ensure consistency and well-being. I always secure doors, windows, and any potential hazards to create a safe environment. As for staying in my home, I unfortunately cannot have other pets coming and staying with me, due to the amount of allergies in my household and my older dog that is living with me

“Bridget was great! She got along great with the pups, and was very responsive. She asked lots of questions and I came back to a happy family. We would definitely invite her back. A big thanks for all the last-minute help!”


About: I grew up with a variety of animals, including several senior dogs. I fostered several dogs through the SPCA throughout my time in college, and am comfortable with a variety of behavioral and medical needs. I currently have two dogs of my own, one of which is a rescue. I work remotely, so I’m flexible to check on your furry friends throughout the day. If I do have standing weekly meetings, I’ll be sure to communicate those times so you know when I’ll be by. I do not do sitting in my home due to the reactivity of one of my dogs. I am very conscientious and careful with pets, and will make sure to watch your pet with a close eye, crate when needed, and utilize leash and outdoor safety skills when outside of your home.

“Moriah combines adroit technical expertise with amazing cat whisperer mojo. Our cat Casino needs to use an Aerokat steroid inhaler to control his severe asthma. (Steroid pills have twice given him diabetes.) It took me months to get to the point where Casino would sit beside me and take nine breaths while I held a rubber mask over his face. It’s tricky, and you can’t force it, because if he has an aversive experience, next time he may refuse altogether. Moriah had never used an Aerokat before. Although Moriah uses a similar device with her daughter, and has a lot of veterinary experience, our vet was skeptical, and advised that Moriah come over several times before we left, to learn and practice with Casino. This was not possible. Moriah said to just send her a video showing what Casino and I do with the Aerokat. So we did. Our first night on the road, Moriah sent a video of herself and Casino using the Aerokat PERFECTLY, all 9 breaths!!! In other matters too, she did a great job assessing and handling the situation. I would trust her to look after any special needs animal.”


About: I have had dogs my entire life, and got my first cat in 2024. I have been pet sitting my neighbors and friends cats and dogs for over 10 years. I love getting to know new pets, and I am excited to meet yours! I am currently a part time student and part time CNA, and can easily fit quick or long pet visits and care into my schedule. I have lots of experience in caring for dogs, and have gotten more experience with cats within the last few years. I am willing to work with the client to find what is best for them and their pet.

About: I'm friendly with all kinds of pets, both kitties and doggos, I have a very peaceful home very welcoming to new critters. Plenty of room to run around and exercise. Currently working part-time for the summer, can easily give your fur baby's the attention they need whenever you're busy or out of town. Plenty of space behind the house to get them lots of exercise. Hardwood floors and a big grassy yard with a field behind the house. Very easy to walk super quiet neighborhood. Also have the ability to create your pets if necessary.

About: We (Annalise Seal and Raina Davis) offer double the care for the price of one. One of us is more experienced with cats, and has four of her own, and the other has more experience with dogs, with one of her own. We’re familiar with cleaning up after pets, and we have previously administrated medicine by mouth to both dogs and cats. We are both capable of walking multiple dogs at a time. Concerning our experience with special need animals, we’ve had several jobs with dogs in need of daily medications and other pets in need of special attention. We aren’t afraid to deal with any accidents that may occur, and aren’t afraid to get messy if needed! Overall, we’re responsible pet caregivers confident in taking care of both our animals, and others. We both have part time jobs, but have flexible schedules and are available to work overnight. We prioritize the care of your animals and are willing to make time for them when needed. We will take the animals on daily walks and routinely ensure they are being taken care of to the best of our abilities. We will take the time to properly get to know your pets so we can assess if any behavior is out of the ordinary.

About: We grew up with dogs and have been dog-sitting for thirty years. In the 90s, we had “Pampered Pets” in Boston, then we moved to Washington, DC, where we rebranded as “Top Dog DC,” and now we’re in Sperryville, VA, with “2 Dog Hotel.” Also, in the early 2000s, we raised four “Guiding Eyes for the Blind” puppies. Puppy raisers are critical to many organizations that train working dogs. Future guide dogs must be socialized in warm and loving homes, the puppies are fun, and puppy raisers learn about dog psychology and training. However, it's still not easy sending the pups off to college. Having done many "Intervac" house swaps, now we're getting into house sitting. We can take care of your pets and your home while you travel. We spend much time at home on our patio, gated deck (squirrel TV included), near a cozy wood stove, or on the nearby hiking trails. Since we spend so much time at home, keeping to your dog’s regular schedule is manageable. When we have dogs, we rarely do things where they can't join us. We only take care of one or two dogs at a time. The truth is we enjoy the pet therapy we get from dog-sitting, and the therapists seem to like it too.

About: Hello! I’m a young man that absolutely loves animals & enjoys walking! I have taken care of animals ever since I remember, rather it be cats, dogs or rabbits. I currently own one dog and two cats. My dog being a small shelty that loves walks and rides, followed by my two cats that free roam and get along with dogs in most cases.

I have a fenced in front door with access to water, where they can run around and play. It includes a doggy door. Unlimited toys included!

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!”

Miyah H.
“Miyah was absolutely wonderful with my two cats! From the moment we connected, communication was clear, friendly, and professional. While I was away, they sent regular updates with adorable photos and thoughtful notes, which gave me so much peace of mind. Both cats can be a little shy, but they warmed up quickly and clearly felt comfortable and cared for. When I got home, everything was tidy, litter boxes were fresh, and the cats were happy and relaxed. I can’t recommend Miyah enough—reliable, kind, and truly caring. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!”

One of my cats requires medication, which Michael administers without issue. He always gives the cats lots of love, and I can tell when I return that they have been well taken care of while I was away. He is communicative and I can really tell how much he cares about animals. I would 100% recommend Michael for pet sitting!”

Scott & Sarah O.Star Sitter
“I feel uniquely qualified to recommend Sarah and Scott to you for your dog's home away from home because they warmly and wisely provided that home to mine. Sarah and I were work colleagues who got to know each other only like two dog mothers can: we raised together one puppy in our two homes for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. This puppy, Jasmine, excelled such that Guiding Eyes chose her for one of their brood dogs, a badge of honor for their best, brightest, and most well-raised. Ultimately I had two labs of my own who, of course, "boarded" with Sarah and Scott. Despite the fact that they lived only a very few blocks from the commotion of the White House (D. C.), I always knew they would be safe in this city oasis. Your dogs could never hope for a better country retreat. They will be safe and treasured like they are Sarah's and Scott's own. Linda”


Chandler S.
“Chandler is such a kind, compassionate, responsible, and loving person. He grew up around animals and has a few of his own. He puts 100% into all that he does. He knows when to feed dogs, how much (depending on the type and age), loves to take them for walks, teaches them tricks, playing with them, and just cuddling them. He is truly a caring person- I absolutely would trust him with my life so it is no doubt that he would take care of your dog with the same intentions.”
