“Catherine has been taking our large pup on walks a few days per week and it’s been such tail wagging fun! Thanks for the adventures and care, Catherine!”

“I am thrilled to share my heartfelt appreciation for Lourdes Rhodes, my exceptional neighbor and go-to pet sitter. Lourdes has been a lifeline for me and my furry family members on numerous occasions, and I am confident that she would provide safe, loving care and outstanding customer service for anyone seeking a trustworthy pet caregiver. Beyond her role as a pet sitter, Lourdes is simply an awesome human being. Her kindness, warmth, and compassion extend not only to animals but also to the people around her. She's not just a neighbor; she's become a trusted friend, someone I can rely on for support and companionship.”

“Morgan has been an exceptional caretaker and sitter for my dog ever since I started using her as my sitter 4 years ago. She takes great care to ensure the safety and health of my dog and keeps me updated if there is anything I should know. She's the best sitter I've ever had and I wouldn't trust my dog with anyone else. 5 stars, 10/10, the best!”

“Kat is the most caring, loving, and compassionate person I’ve ever seen with pets. I would trust her to take care of mine any day!”

“Jesse has really helped us out with Lucy, and has been able to handle her perfectly. Love his attention to any potential concerns and relay information about her walks. He has also been accommodating when we’ve needed short-notice visits.”

About: I have decades of animal care experience, working with cats, dogs, and multiple other species. I currently own and operate a rabbitry. I have worked at multiple dog kennels, including free run facilities, and have worked at the SPCA and the Virginia zoo in Norfolk, Virginia. Let me know what your needs are, and we will see if I can accommodate your needs, as my schedule is very open and flexible. My pet care is very custom tailored to your needs and your pet’s needs, let me know what you need and what your pet prefers. I have 4 dogs that stay exclusively in the back part of the home and have access to the backyard. Doggies I am sitting stay exclusively in the front part of the home and have access to the front yard, so there is non interaction between my dogs. My dogs are friendly with other dogs but this arrangement just makes it easier and more comfortable for yours = )

“Abby has been taking care of my dogs for the past few years when I go away and they always get so excited to see her! She leaves the house better than it was before and treats my dogs like her own. I’d reccomend her to anyone!”

“Lydia did a great job walking Zorro. Zorro came back from his walk feeling happy and tired!”

“Mairany takes great care of Mia. She loves Mia and Mia loves her. She does an amazing job grooming her and keeping her fur trimmed just the way I like it.”

About: I have tons of personal experience coming from a dog loving family, and I have also spent time volunteering at local shelters! I will adjust myself to fit your dog’s temperament and personality to ensure the best possible experience for them. I love hiking, walking, playing all types of sports, and I will gladly give your fur babies all of the exercise and cuddles they want. I have 2 dogs of my own, a senior dachshund mix and a Great Dane with anxiety. You can be guaranteed I will love any animal as it’s my own <3 I work 7pm-3am on Saturday, and 6pm-1am Sunday through Tuesday. I have class 9:30am-12:30pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Aside from that, I am pretty open and I will do my best to fit in walks when needed! I am really comfortable with all dogs and cats, so I have no problem tending to any special needs or those that may just need extra time. My own dog has anxiety and I understand the need for patience, comfort, and love around new people or environments. I’ll be happy to follow any special instructions and/or training habits that you would like for your pets. I tend to carry a treat pouch for the sake of training, distractions, and trust building if that’s something you would be okay with, I of course would not give anything unwanted. I am open to any questions you may have to see if I’m a good fit!

About: Hi! My name is Anissa and I am a sophomore nursing student at JMU. I’ve always had dogs growing up, but I have intensively cared for my two sweet pugs since my family adopted them as puppies 8 years ago. Often I was the only one with them during the night since my mom works night shifts, so I have lots of experience caring for them, even when they were recovering from surgeries. I also have experience pet sitting for neighbors and friends. I absolutely love dogs, big or small, and I am reliable and have a very flexible summer schedule! I don’t currently have a job, so my schedule is very free during the summer! I do have two weeks at the end of the summer where I will be unavailable, but other than that I’m pretty much free all day every day! I can play with your dog (inside or out), feed, walk, bathe, crate, and distribute medicine to your dog. If your dogs likes to get rid of energy outside/loves the outdoors then I’m perfect for your dog. I love being outside and it’s even better with dogs!

“Very professional help who’s always available and attentive to blue!”

“Abigail is an amazing dog sitter! She is incredibly attentive and caring towards pets, making sure they are taken care of in every aspect. Her love for animals is very apparent in how enthusiastically she cares for each pet- I highly recommend her!”

About: Hi there! I'm Carrie. I have been a pet owner and caretaker for over 15 years! I am experienced in walking, feeding, and otherwise caring for several types of pets. I currently own a cat and a dog, but I can also care for rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish! My main option here is dog walking, but I can also do drop-in visits as needed. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals and take them for walks. I am available most weekends for drop-in visits, and I will house sit as needed! I will ensure that dogs remain safely leashed during all walks. If the temperature of asphalt is too warm for walks I make sure to stick to grassy areas. I ensure that I know current vet care and contact numbers for emergency situations.

She we will treat your pets as if they were her own. Pet sitting and dog walking has been her job while she is home from college. Also willing to take a job on short notice.”
