I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation thanks to Hunter. Lots of pictures and videos of Mouse enjoying her time with her new friend. She kept up with all her medicine and different foods. Came home to a clean house and a happy dog. Couldn't ask for anyone better. I will definitely use Hunter for anything I need in the future!

She kept on top of my dogs’ changing needs and kept me in the loop so the week away didn’t feel quite as worrying! And we returned to the house even more tidy than we left it, which was a lovely surprise!

Excellent caregiver and provided timely updates. We have two needy dogs of different sizes and she was great with both of them. Would work with again.

Denise took fantastic care of Frankie and was great with communications both before and during my trip! She went above and beyond to make sure she left the house in good shape as well. We will absolutely have her back!

About: I have been raised to care for pets. My entire life my family has had Labs, and I have grown to love them so very much. I also have experience with Cats, Ferrets, and now I have my own Bunny! I am on summer break from Roanoke College so I am free anytime to care for furry friends! Whatever their needs are, I am there! In my house, each of my pets have their own litter boxes, water/food bowls, and my bunny has her own room. I devote hours each day to provide enrichment to each of my pets. I would do the same with my clients pets!

I was amazed at how quickly Chauncey (our rescue dachsshnd) warmed up the Nancye. She has this innate ability to know a dog and his needs, placing that as top priority. She texted with pictures often, I left home for a much needed few days away without a worry at all. HIGHLY recommend and feel sure we'll want Nancye to pet/house sit for us again--SOON!

Selena took care of our pup on short notice and did a great job! She made us feel super comfortable by meeting us/our dog a few times before we left for our trip. She sent photos every day and our usually shy pup warmed up pretty quickly!

As a Personal Trainer, Outdoor Adventures Guide, Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Aide, and previous babysitter/camp counselor I have a passion for the outdoors, staying active, and experience with caretaking.

I'm currently a undergraduate student with flexible work hours, allowing ample time to spend with your pets! I love taking walks in both the morning and afternoon, and would greatly enjoy a furry companion to join me! House and petsitting in a clients home will include frequent play time either in the backyard or at a dog-park, ample cuddle time, and daily walks.

About: While most of my experience is with cats, I am also comfortable caring for small to medium dogs and following clear routines and care instructions. I have volunteered as a dog walker with a local adoption agency in Northern Virginia, helping socialize dogs and prepare them for adoption events. I have a flexible schedule and am able to provide morning, midday, and evening care. I prioritize maintaining your pet's established routine and can accommodate overnight stays or drop-in visits throughout the week. I care for pets in their own home to maintain comfort and minimize stress. I follow established routines closely and will keep all spaces clean. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel relieved and confident that their pets are happy and healthy. I make sure to include as much playtime as well as care time as much as possible.

We (both humans and dogs) adore Billie. The pups got so much love that they barely noticed when we returned after a week 🤣. We got photo updates every day and lovely check-ins throughout our vacation. This was our first time booking with Billie and we will definitely use her again! So nice to trust that our fur babies are well taken care of while we're away.

This pet sitting was a return of Stephen and Wanda to our house. We were gone for 8 days and our 2 dogs and cat were very happy. Stephen and Wanda just effortlessly picks up where we leave and continue with everything as we would. We choose house sitting as that is the least disruptive for the animals and Wanda and Stephen looks after our place as if it was their own. When we return the animals are happy and the house neat and tidy. Thank you for letting us go on holiday and not having to worry about the doggies. We will definitely use them again and again! We are very happy and cannot thank them enough!

Gussie took care of our dogs on such short notice, which was a relief after our other sitter cancelled due to a family emergency. Gussie communicated and sent photos daily, which I appreciated. One of our dogs is 17 and she met his senior needs. Our other dog usually takes a while to warm up to people, but it did not take her long to warm up to Gussie.

We recently went away for a week-long beach trip and had the pleasure of having Deann take care of our pets and I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. She looked after our extremely shy indoor cat, our outdoor cat, and even our saltwater fish with so much care and attention. I was especially nervous about leaving our indoor cat alone for the first time for such a long stretch, but Deann checked in regularly, which helped ease my mind and let me actually relax on vacation. When we got home, it was clear the animals had been well cared for—our cats were content, the fish tanks looked great, and the house was in perfect shape. It's such a relief to know we have someone so reliable, kind, and attentive to count on. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!

About: I love caring for all animals. I do have previous experience taking care of puppies as well but am willing to look after all ages. I have large breaks in my days between and after my classes so I am always available to help whenever needed. I am also available all day on weekends if necessary. I will follow the instructions left for me closely and will give them all the love and attention they need to be happy. I will treat your just the same as if they were my own.

Lexi was great! She stayed at my house with my pups and gave them all kinds of snuggles and love and sent me pictures and messages as updates. She left the house as she found it. I’d definitely recommend Lexi to take care of your pets!
