“Emily is an exceptional pet caretaker! She took excellent care of our zoo of animals. She stayed in our home and went above and beyond while house sitting for us. We WILL be using Emily again in the future! 10/10 would recommend for anyone in the area to use her services.”

“ABOVE AND BEYOND!! Phyllis is so sweet and I’m pretty sure she spoiled me as much as my boy!! She sent me so many pics and updates with added bonuses that made my vacation that much more enjoyable knowing he was in great hands!! She took great care of our home as well. I will book her again and again!!”

About: Hi! I’m MacKenzie, your pet’s new best friend and part-time squirrel scout. While I might not have a fancy pet-sitting degree, I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, and my own dog (a.k.a. my four-legged child) has taught me plenty—especially about basic training, reactivity, and the art of treating every leaf like it’s a masterpiece. I’m also a pro at giving meds and following care instructions to a T, so your pet’s routine won’t miss a beat. Plus, as an avid hiker, I’m more than happy to take active pups on day hikes for a little extra adventure! I get that every walk is a big deal, every squirrel is a personal nemesis, and if there’s a cat involved, they’re probably running the household. And yes, I’m here for my own steps too, because walking is my therapy! I'm currently in between full-time jobs, so I have ample flexibility for pet care throughout the week—perfect for midday walks, medication administration, or just dropping by to say “hello”! If your pet lives more than 30 minutes from Petersburg, they should be comfortable being home alone for up to 8 hours once I return to full-time work. For now, my schedule is wide open, especially on weekends! Routine is important to me, and it’s no doubt important to your pets! My primary goal is always to limit the amount of change, so feeding and potty break times will be strictly adhered to. If there’s valuable training you’ve worked hard to implement, it won’t go to waste! Don’t be shy about letting me know exactly which cues and commands to use, and any other little personality quirks I should know about.

“Allyson was attentive to our family's needs and communicative while we were away. Our dogs were relaxed and happy with her. It was a pleasure having her house sit for us.”

“My husky puppy adores Carlita! It was so great to come home from my work trip to a clean & tidy space, tired and played-out dog, AND she even made time to make my bed so I could crawl right in. So thoughtful!”

About: I have lived dog with multiple dogs my whole life. I have 5 years of experience in the veterinary world that has broadened my horizon to the variety of breeds out there and the different requirements they need. I also specialize in medicating medicating our furry friends in the most stress-free way possible. I have experience training my own service dog from 8 weeks old to present and continue to keep his training up to date. I also specialize in hospice care for our are geriatric puppies, because no matter how old they are, they are always puppies to us. I am currently pet sitting for people Part-Time. my goal is to make caring for animals my full-time job. While I continuemaking commissioned pet portraits! Along with other commissions for various prints and paintings. At my house, dogs will eat separately from other dogs for safety and have long line leash walks for potty breaks. If a pet is known to have toy aggression, toys will be taken out of the equation. I do have a service dog that comes with me everywhere including my clients homes. If a client 's pet is dog aggressive or the cats are scared of dog, I will not have my service dog interact with them to give comfort and safety for all.

“Jammie did it again. She takes such great care of our animals while we are away. We feel no anxiety at all leaving our fur babies in her care. I cannot recommend her enough. Communication and thoughtfulness can’t be beat!”

About: I have experience with walking/running all kinds of dogs as well as providing playtime, feedings, and meds. I am detail oriented and give my all to each service and each pet! I always do my best to go above and beyond, showing your fur baby the love it deserves while you're not able to be there❤️ I have experience with cat sitting as well: litter, filling water and food, play time, etc. I also have a cat, so I'm keen on how to read their cues to avoid conflict and redirect with play time, treats, or whatever they like best. I work 7-5 most days, so I am available for walks in the evening or early morning. I am also available for weekend boardings or sittings from Friday evening through Sunday evening With my cat, I have habits of keeping all foods and breakables out of the way. If your pup or kitty is not friendly to other cats, I can split them in two separate rooms of my apartment which I'm happy to detail further on a case by case basis! I prefer sittings in your own home as it's less stress on your baby, but open to whatever you may need. Communication is my #1 priority along with everyone's safety 🥰

“Monique’s and her husband Daniel do an amazing job taking care of our Vizsla Skye! We have hired them many times and feel so comfortable leaving Skye in their care. Skye recently tore her ACL and we knew that she was in great hands. From the moment that we met Monique and Daniel we knew we found a great team.”

“Mason is great. Mason arrived on time and kept me updated while I was gone ! I will definitely use Mason again!”

About: I was raised farming and caring for every animal imaginable, it is my passion and as a lifelong master groomer and veterinary technician. Grooming pets is my art form. I have raised and shown many breeds of dogs, and groomed several for shows such as westminster etc for clients. I have housesat and cared for different types of pets you name it. I can help you with a well deserved get away. I am a Grandma, live in a small home that is slowly being remodeled, I am a retired healthcare worker of 20 years. I am a home body. And i enjoy the companionship of all types of pets. I do not have a fenced yard at this time, but I enjoy walks with your pets, playtime, and snuggles, i do not crate my kitten, nor most of my grooming clients dogs, I can crate your pet if you like. Your pet would have my undivided attention. For this reason i can only take around two at a time depending on personalities. Unless from the same household and then i would try to accommodate your needs. Also your pets need to be up to date on their vaccines, and please have them on a flea product, daily boarding rates may vary at time of booking depending on your dogs size. Large dogs and giant breed dogs are usually 50.00 per 24 hrs stay or $12.00 more a day than the price listed in each catagory.

“We feel like we won the lotto with Safiyyah! All of our dogs loved her, even the shy one. She was attentive and didn’t hesitate to text if she had questions or concerns. She did a great job of keeping us informed and sending pictures of the pups. 10/10 recommend!”

Missy L.

“Christie B. was available to come and stay with my girls on very short notice. My girls are petrified of thunderstorms and just like me, Christie would go into our big shower, but the pads down on the floor and sit with the dogs. She was responsible, communicative and resourceful. I will definitely call on her again.”

Darlene K.

“Brianna was amazing, kept me updated with pictures and messages, and treated my dog like family. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend this app to any pet parent looking for reliable, caring sitters!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and had dogs all through life. Have fostered for Richmond ruff house. I enjoy taking care of animals and walk a lot so your pet will get plenty of exercise. I have a large fenced in backyard so your pooch can play freely and have potty breaks any time they need one. I work in office during the week and have the ability for your pets to be let out during the day and during the weekend am around full time for your pets. I have a fenced in yard, a daughter who loves taking care of animals and it is a smoke free home. I am happy to exercise and walk your pets regularly and maintain any feeding schedule you prefer. I currently work in office during the week and have a hybrid schedule at times. But my teenager is there after school to help and let pets out. I have a large yard with a 6 foot privacy fence. I have dog bowls and a large dog crate on site so less for you to pack.

“We needed a pet sitter last minute due to our other option not working out. I found Aubrey and she was absolutely amazing! Our pups had a great time with her. She was respectful of our house and requirements and I can’t say more than great things about her. She even brought them treats and a toy! Thank you again and look forward to booking with you in the future.”
