“Kade has watched my cat Salem several times now and has always been very responsive and on-time with all of Salem’s drop-ins! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone to take care of their furry friends.”


“Lila did an amazing job caring for our two cats! She even went above and beyond when there was a slight issue getting into our home. We felt safe leaving knowing our cats were in such good hands. Great communication and care. Would book again.”


“Highly recommend Elizabeth! She was great with Huey and sent me updates and photos everyday :) Huey was so happy when I came home, and I know that's because he had a great time with his new friend, haha! Would use her again, for sure.”


“Jeff provided multiple days of feeding, cuddle time, walks and loving attention for our dog. The photos he sent helped us feel at ease knowing our boy was safe and happy. We appreciated his responsibility and updates!”


“Kyla was so great for drop-in visits this past week! She's very sweet and my normally shy cats warmed up to her pretty quickly. She had great communication with the daily updates and pictures :) no notes, and will definitely see if she's available to book again next time I'm out of town. Thanks again, Kyla!”


“Thane did a wonderful job of caring for our fur babies! They were thoughtful and considerate to our cats needs and kept us well informed while we were away.”


“Cat has been an absolute pleasure to work with! I scheduled her last minute for daily drop-in services with my dog, Koko. Even though it was a short turnaround time (I made the request Saturday morning for services starting on Monday), Cat came to our house that same day to meet Koko and discuss what I was looking for in drop-in services. Over the past week, Cat has been an excellent communicator, has consistently arrived on time, and has really catered her care to Koko's preferences (e.g., playing ball with her in our yard, convincing her to eat something at lunchtime even though she's picky). I have already booked another drop-in session with Cat for next week and will certainly continue to work with her in the future! I highly recommend working with Cat!”


“Abigail was great. She was communicative and lovely and I came home to happy cats. I love that shes a kitty person as opposed to a dog sitter who is also willing to cat sit. I will certainly ask her to kitty sit again!”


“Kay took excellent care of my 2 cats and my outdoor tomato plants while I was away for a long weekend. Cats were chill and happy upon my return. Kay communicated with me frequently and quickly. I didn't feel like I had to worry about anything while I was away.”


“Kristen was wonderful! She took great care of our kitty while we were out of the country for about 2 weeks. We will definitely connect with her for any future needs as well.”


About: I was born and raised with pets in the home all my life including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits and fish. I have a rescue German short-haired pointer/blue heeler mix who I have had for about 8 years and she is my everything. I have pet sitted dogs such as Golden Retrievers, Mini Chihuahuas, Huskies and Boxers in the past for family, friends and neighbors, from puppies to seniors. I consider myself to be very detail-oriented and intuitive, and will make sure that your pet is spoiled and treated just like my own (who is my child). I’m currently available during the weekdays and weekends for sitting, drop-ins and walks. I am not currently working at the moment so I have a flexible schedule. My dog has free range in my home (her bed and the couch are her favorite spots), but am comfortable with crating, using pee pads and baby gates if need be, whatever your routine is!

“Julia was a big help watching our dog Shadow while we were away! She provided very detailed updates and amazing pictures! She was even able to stop by extra times when we had unforeseen travel emergencies. I would highly recommend Julia :)”


“5 stars for Kylie! She send detailed updates and anecdotes along with photos every day. She was prompt, polite, communicative, and so easy to work with. She went above and beyond to take care of my two cats. Would definitely book again!”


About: I’m a grad student at VCU and experienced dog mom happy to help with dog walking and drop in visits! I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and fostered several dogs and puppies from the SPCA. I’m comfortable with all ages of dog from puppies to seniors. I’m would love to take your dog for walks, play, snuggle, and even do some basic training! From August 16-27 I am on a break from grad school and available anytime time of day! Outside of my break I’m available anytime time of weekends and early mornings/ evenings Safety is my top priority! I keep dogs on leash unless in a fenced-in yard, am careful of dietary restrictions, and closely follow all instructions given to me by the owners.
