“Jeffery is absolutely terrific!! We have utilized his services for 2 years now. He has not only cared for our pet, but has also been our house sitter during our trips. We have found him to be a trustworthy and honest person who provides much love and attention to our fur baby. Our pet is a family member whom we love dearly and had a tough life prior to adopting us as his new family. Due to that, we were very concerned with finding someone who would provide the same type of love and attention as he receives from us. I am very happy to say that Jeffery has provided all of that to our pet and can ensure that he will do the same for your pet. I can't thank him enough for helping us to enjoy our time away, by caring for our pet in a way that allows to relax, knowing that he is in good hands.”

“Showed up the day before to do a meet and greet even tho the booking was very short notice. Arrived on time, sent frequent updates which meant the world to me as she knew I had never left my dog alone, and stayed late when our function ran late. My dog was excited when I got home but didnt seem like she was overly stressed by being left alone and I really think that says a lot about the calm, caring, and attentive demeanor she used with her. I highly recommend her.”

About: I grew up with a few of childhood dogs and currently I am the owner of one beloved cat. I've taken care of seniors and babies alike, with different personalities, needs and quirks. I like to learn specifically each detail of their established routine and pay attention to any special instructions for their family so that their beloved pet will be most comfortable. I love animals and look forward to care for them in each and every job. My weekly schedule often fluctuates. I tend to prefer working in pet care towards the afternoon/evenings, but I may be available for a couple of select mornings as well. I also have availability on weekends. I don't mind checking in on them twice a day as well. For dog care I am available to care for them in their own home and check on them twice a day for those who are out of town depending on the service requested. I can also transport them to a dog park or walk in town upon request. For cat care, I am available for both in-home care and also keeping them in my own home, the only requirement being that they are comfortable around other domestic cats as there are four currently in my home. Otherwise I am flexible with specific instructions/routines.

“We were visiting Damascus VA to bike the VA Creeper Trail and needed someone to stay in our camper with our dog because he has some separation issues. She was there on time, he immediately went to her. She was friendly and caring. When we returned three hours later, he was happy, wagging and tired. She relieved our minds so we could do what we planned and know our pup was in good hands. Highly recommend.”


About: Hi there! I’ve grown up around dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all kinds. I’ve raised two energetic German Shorthaired Pointers (GSPs), regularly looked after my family’s dog, and have house/dog sat for friends and neighbors on and off over the years. I’m comfortable giving medications, providing enrichment play to keep dogs mentally and physically stimulated, and have experience working with anxious pups who need a little extra patience and love. Whether it’s long walks, snuggles, or sticking to a routine, I’m all about making pets feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I currently work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule, which means I can easily stop by during the day for walks, playtime, or just some snuggles and company for your fur baby! I’m available for dog and house sitting on weekends, and while I may need some flexibility to come and go during the day, your pet will still get plenty of love, attention, and care. I always prioritize their routine and well-being, and I’m happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re doing great. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care as I would my own. I stick closely to your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free—whether that’s walk times, feeding, medications, or bedtime rituals. I make sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and enrichment while you’re away. I’m also mindful of keeping your space clean and secure, and I’ll happily send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet (and home!) are in good hands.
