Dustin was great with my dogs and followed my senior dog’s med schedule like I asked. I have nervous girl that was unsure at first but Dustin won her over and they were getting along great by the end of the visit. Dustin also went above and beyond and stayed late waiting for me to get home and not leaving the dogs alone.

I want to give a shoutout to Lucas! He took wonderful care of Luke. He was prompt and followed all our instructions to the letter. Lucas was so patient with Luke. It's clear he really cares about animals—Luke seemed happy and well-rested when we returned. We'll definitely be requesting Lucas again.

She is punctual and responsive to all messages. Tiffany is very personal, professional and patient with our dogs. She allowed my older dog to relax and chill out while at the same time, she played with my very energetic and playful puppy.

Sydney was great to our pups! She came for a meet and greet on her own time and made sure she was a good fit prior! During our trip Sydney kept us updated the whole time and sent pictures! We returned home to an immaculate house and tired pups— what more can you ask for?!! We will be rebooking for any future trips ♥️

About: I have had pets since I was born. I currently live with four dogs and two cats and help take care of them. I can walk dogs on short and long walks. I can house sit any pets or check in as needed. I have a cat of my own named Clementine. She is an affectionate two year old who loves to play. My sister has a cat of her own named Ace. She is six and prefers her space. She will find you when she wants attention or wants to play. My parents have four dogs. The oldest is Ripley at eleven years old. She loves affection and to cuddle. Penny is a Westie mix who is eight years old. She is a sassy dog who will wrestle her way into getting love. Her brother, Balin, is an eight year old German Shepherd. When he is not barking at one of the neighbors walking on the sidewalk, he loves to play ball or play with his sisters. The youngest dog is Artemis. She is a two year old German Shepherd who cannot stop moving. She loves to play and be outside for as long as she can. I work Monday through Thursday from 8am to 3pm. I am free Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I give pets amble opportunity before I go to work to use the bathroom, eat, and stretch their legs before I leave. When I get back I take the pets out immediately and feed them when scheduled. If I do leave the house, I try not to be gone for more than 4-6 hours. I can follow all of the instructions to the letter. I understand everyone has preferences how their pet is taken care of. I would love to know any quirks or routines your pets may have. I like to update after every visit. For house sitting, I will send photos and an update in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I can provide more updates if desired.

She was a wonderful house guest and went above and beyond to make it seem like she wasn’t even there. I will definitely be booking Anna in the future.

About: I have always loved all kinds of animals! I have experience with numerous kinds of dogs and cats, of all ages and demeanors. I have housesat and pet sat since I was in High School, and can help look after your plant babies as well. I also have Volunteer experience at my local dog shelter, so I know how to deal with dogs in high stress environments. I do work afternoons on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday, but even then, I am free beforehand and am always back before dinner time. I will prioritize your pet and can offer to go over multiple times a day, and I’m free the whole day when I don’t have work! I prefer to care for pets in clients homes since they are more used to their environment and because I have roommates at my home.

About: I absolutely adore animals. I have four children who are also huge animal lovers so if you board with us in home your pet will be absolutely doted on. Pet parents will be hard pressed to find a family that will take better care of your pet or give them as much love and attention. I love being outside and going on long walks and would love to accompany your dog on their daily walk. We have a tremendous amount of time to play with your pet, take them on walks, and give them the attention they not only require but also deserve. We have a decent sized fenced in yard which is perfect for lots of play time! We are very attentive to animals and have experience giving medication including shots.

Gabriel did a great job taking care of our dog, Lexi. He was responsible, attentive, and made sure to meet her specific needs. We could tell she was well cared for while we were away, and that gave us real peace of mind. Highly recommend Gabriel to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

About: Experienced vet assistant with a passion for caring for dogs and cats of all ages—puppies, seniors, and everyone in between. Skilled in basic training, medication administration, and gentle handling. Your pet’s comfort and safety come first! As a full-time veterinary assistant, animal care is already a central part of my daily routine. My work schedule gives me the flexibility to offer pet care services like house sitting, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I enjoy spending my free time with animals, so fitting in extra pet care—especially in the evenings or on weekends—feels natural and rewarding. It’s a seamless extension of what I love to do every day. I provide all pet care services in my clients' homes, where pets feel most comfortable and secure. With my experience as a full-time veterinary assistant, I’m confident handling a wide range of needs—from feeding, walks, and playtime to administering medications and caring for seniors or anxious pets. I follow each pet’s routine closely and keep their environment clean, safe, and stress-free. My goal is to make your absence as easy on your pet as possible.

About: Hi there! My name is Sam and I have experience sitting for all types of animals. From cuddly Pyrenees, and scary-smart German pinschers, to spunky chinchillas, their best cat friends, and curious pythons. I have been through partial behavioral training for dogs (and their humans), and have experience with animal hospice situations, as well as behaviorally aggressive dogs. I prefer to keep the animal's care as consistent as possible. The more details you have of your preferred method of walking, reward, or preparation habits, the better. Trust and care are my number one goals when it comes to animal sitting. Not just with the four legged babies, but with the parents as well. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with your care provider, and what a treat it is to know that you can trust someone with the care of your loved ones. Also, aren't dogs just perfect? I work for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and am currently on telework, so my weekly availability is early morning, and late afternoon. I also volunteer at the Old Dominion Humaine Society and occasionally foster for them at my house. I have one <1 year old puppy, and I have a home with a large yard but no fence. That means all foster dogs get leash walked always and there are many mind teaser toys for rainy days. I feed in crates and make it a safe space for them to decompress.

Lela was incredible! We had a tough situation where a sitter had an emergency and Lela was able to quickly step in and take over while we were already on vacation. She was so patient with our quirky rescue pups and was so communicative with us. They quickly acclimated to her and she was just a joy to have caring for them!

Mary was awesome from day one. Very responsive. Showed up on time to meet and greet. Even better was her stay. She was great! Bear slept with her and he never does that so he must of felt super comfortable. She sent me lots of pictures and updates. She was on time. Was there the majority of the day with the dogs. Took them out. Loved on them. It was a great experience for the pups at home and some much peace of mind for me states away! I would book her again. Bonus, she was very respectful of the house as well!
