“Natalie is nothing short of amazing. She really does treat your pet like it’s her own. She stayed at our home with our 1 year old golden retriever who is FULL of energy and I never felt like he was stuck in the house or bored. He seemed comfortable and happy based on the photos she sent us! I want to gate keep her all to myself but 10000/10 recommend to all pet owners!”

“Chris is very conscientious and takes such good care of our two dogs. She cares about them as if they're her own! When we're away, we feel very safe and secure knowing Chris is at our home caring for our dogs.”

“Cate was great! She came by to meet Callie and I, and she took great care of her. Callie did not seem at all upset that I was gone. And she even washed the sheets from the bed — which I did not expect her to do! This was my first time using Rover/Cate and I will definitely use her again!”

“Samantha was great. Our fur baby was very happy. Samantha sent lots of updates and pics. to keep us informed. We are very pleased with Samantha and will definitely book her again.”

“Ross was fantastic with our dogs & saved us when we had a last minute booking for house sitting! He provided daily updates including photos & videos. We will definitely hire him again!”

“Annalise took such great care of my pups. Let me be clear - there were four prep meetings leading up to her actual stay because of how challenging/anxiety-ridden my dogs can be. She has been patient, understanding, and willing to work with them where they are at. Throughout my five-day trip, I received ample photos and videos which I loved. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were getting tons of snuggles, their meals on time, and lots of outside time. All in all, I came home to happy pups and I'm so grateful. I've already booked with Annalise again! Highly recommend!”

“Carleigh saved the day and was able to help on a last minute stay. She was prompt, polite, communicative and left the house in great shape. Most importantly our pets were safe and happy. I'll definitely use her again!”

“Mary was so great! Very responsive and flexible to work with. Our pup loved spending the weekend with her at our home while we were away. We will definitely be booking with Mary again.”

About: I have years of experience with dogs across all sizes, energy needs and care needs! I’m very fond of all critters and can’t wait to help you out! I’m working part-time over the summer and a fellowship (32 hrs/week) into the 26-27 year, but I’m very available to provide care— just send me a message! I respect the understanding that you’ve developed of your pet’s specific needs— give me a list, and it will be accomplished to a tee with care and enthusiasm!
About: I’ve been around pets for most of my life. Starting when I would take care of my family fishes when I was younger. Then, later, with our family dog, a tiny Maltese named Lucy! As of late, I’ve spent my time watching over my friends’ two kitties, as well as helping them with their dog sits when they need an extra hand! I am currently a full-time student at JMU. I have plenty of availability during the summer, and when the school year begins, weekday nights, and weekends! By being friendly and gentle, I hope to create a safe and fun atmosphere for your pet(s)! I am communicative and reliable, and will always make sure to give you updates and photos, so you can see how your pets are doing when you are away!
“Brianna did a great job! She was updating us with pictures all the time. The animals were so happy and well taken care of. She took great care of our house too. We will definitely ask her to house sit again! Glad we found her so last minute.”

“This is the second time that Stef dog/house sat for us and we couldn’t be happier! We feel comfortable leaving her with our baby and are confident that she is being well cared for. We absolutely would recommend Stef to others!”

“Julia was such a great dog sitter for my dog. He’s used to me being around 24/7 so I’m always worried about leaving him home alone. She took great care of him and put up with all his weird quirks and routines.”

About: I am a medical professional for 20 years, with summers off (yes, I feel blessed ;) which provides flexibility from May to August. So let me know when you're headed on vacation or have other summer activities planned, if you need boarding, dog walking, drop ins or house/pet sitting. I'm an active mom to two teen boys, and a dog mom to Red Fox Lab named Coby who is 3. We spend lots of time outdoors, playing, walking, porch sitting and having doggy play dates. I have summers off from May through August, looking to connect our family and our lab Coby with your fur baby for a fun summer days We live in a safe community with lots of options for play just a short walk away with the many parks Bridgewater has to offer. Large home, open yard but have electric fencing, a fixed outdoor lead, a crate available and a sweet Lab named Coby who loves other friends to play with. If I come to you we can cater more specifically to your dogs preferences.
About: I have had cats and dogs all my life (along with a few other pets). I also volunteer with cats and dogs at an animal shelter and my job is at a doggy daycare center. I have taken two years of a veterinary science class as well. I’m currently working part-time at a doggy daycare center, so my schedule will vary from day to day. I will update my availability as necessary and as soon as possible. I will care for your pets at your home in any way I can. I will be able to feed your pets (as long as instructions are provided), play with your pets, and walk your pets.
“What an amazing experience. I had a last minute trip and Aamirah was there to make it easy for me to go and feel comfortable with my dog being well cared for. She took the time to update me daily about my girl. Huge thank you”
