“Jeanette was awesome with Milo ! I needed a last minute sitter for him as I’m visiting from out of town and wanted to take my kids out for a bit, Jeanette replied back quicker than I had expected! She kept me updated with photos of my little guy. Whenever I’m back in town and need a sitter I’ll definitely be contacting her again :)”



“Svetlana took great care of our 2 dogs on a last minute notice for the day. She is so kind, and good with the dogs. Her house is clean and tidy (1 of my dogs likes to chew everything), and she has a nice large fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in. I highly recommend her, and will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much!!”


“Yeny and Ray were so accommodating for our pup, we needed someone to watch our dog and they were the only ppl that could last minute. We couldn’t have chosen anyone better to watch our baby. They were so caring , kind and truly made us feel at ease. We were sent updates and photos throughout our dogs stay, which we appreciated. I wish I lived in VA they would be an easy pick ! Thank you again !”


“Kelsi and her family were wonderful hosts to Fin! They were adaptable as I needed a last minute pet sit for a couple of hours. Fin loved hanging at their house and he was super comfortable the whole time. I would definitely book with Kelsi again!”


About: I have always been around all kinds of animals, and I worked with Bully Paws Pit Bull Rescue for many years. At one point I had 5 Pit Bulls, and they were my daughter’s best friends. Now that I am dog free, I miss having a furry friend around. Currently, I have two cats and a bearded dragon. I work from home day except Wednesday. Due to my flexible schedule, I am able to cater to your pets needs to make sure they are getting the love they need. I have a fenced back yard and a great neighborhood to walk in. I work from home, so I am always at your pet's beck and call. At your home, I can work as needed and spend time with your pet in the comfort of their own home.

“Alicia is amazing! Very personable and communicative. She kept me updated throughout the day regarding concerns I mentioned during drop off and made sure my puppy felt loved. We will definitely book again. 10/10 would recommend!”

I live on a 10 acre farm with lots of room for play time and exercise. I do have a fenced in dog park for play time or I can walk your pup on a leash. Also your dog can run free if that’s more comfortable. I also have two very friendly dogs of my own that would love a friend! We have lots of land and room to fit your fur babies needs. We are a multi generational family living on a farm so there will be plenty of love to go around. I have a very open schedule and would love to fill it with spending time with your animals!

About: I’ve had pets throughout my life, including dogs, cats, and chickens, as part of my homesteading lifestyle. I understand the importance of routine, attention, and exercise for animals. I’ve also helped friends and family care for their pets, including administering medications, walking high-energy dogs, and managing feeding schedules. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays or extended care if needed. I understand that life can be unpredictable, so I’m happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that fits their needs. I have a fenced yard and our dogs are very friendly. We do have a dog crate if needed. I prioritize safety by closely monitoring pets during our time together and ensuring they are always in secure environments. At home, I create a pet-friendly space, free from hazards, and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including dietary restrictions or medical needs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Besides having a dog as a pet throughout my lifetime, I volunteered my time to help train service dogs for a local organization for the past 2 years. During this time I would walk, feed and bathe puppies through adulthood. I would potty train, teach door manners, heal, sit, stay,place, stay under table during dinner time and various other life skills for the dog to follow. I would also brush their teeth, play with them daily and show them constant affection and love. I’m currently working 1-2 days per week prn, so I’ll have plenty of time to work around various schedules to assist all of my clients needs. I will walk the dog around on a leash, ensuring to monitor the weather to make sure that the asphalt is not to hot for their paws. I will earn trust of my clients by communicating efficiently and proving over time that I have the best interest in the care and safety of your pet.
