“Kayly bonded with our animals so quickly and helped us feel at ease with leaving our older animals at home. Her communication was frequent which we loved! Highly recommend Kayly!”
“Absolutely fabulous! She is an outstanding communicator, sent tons of pictures, and took great care of an old dog and a neurotic one. 10000% would recommend and use again! 💕”
“We were grateful for Sophia to care for our home and pets. She did a great job and was very professional, and cared for everything well. We would recommend her and would work with her again.”
“She's amazing. Very punctual and professional. Got along great with my dog, and took excellent care of my pet and my living space (including some cleaning!) 10/10 couldn't recommend more strongly.”
“There’s nothing better than coming home to your dog after a long trip especially when he’s calm and relaxed because he was well taken care of. Juan allowed me this joy. It was the first time I’ve used him and Romeo took to him right away. Juan updated me daily and was responsive to messages. He also left my house in great condition. Thank you for taking care of my baby. We’ll be seeing you again!!”
“Kymberlee did a great job caring for Ralphie. We had some pleasant exchanges before the booking to nail down details. She sent pics and updates during her stay and left the house in good condition. Ralphie seemed happy upon our return and even looked for Kymberlee downstairs where she stayed on the day after she left! We would be grateful to have her sit for us again.”
“Lilly was absolutely incredible! She went above and beyond caring for our dog, who can be pretty anxious around new people. Lilly was so thoughtful — she even brought toys of her own, and it was clear she formed a genuinely sweet bond with Freya while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and a spotless house. She’s clearly well-informed, well-trained, and deeply caring — truly an outstanding dog sitter. We will 100% be booking her again and can’t recommend her highly enough!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life. Currently I have 4 cats and a golden retriever! I have been dog sitting and house sitting for my neighbors for years now and am wanting to do it more often! I have taken care of dogs ranging from 8 weeks to 12 years old and cats of all ages. I graduated from James Madison University this past June and I am wanting to fill my days off with fun spending time with your pets! I’ve taken care of many pets with various needs ranging from needing medication, specific sleep and walk schedules, crates, etc. I am willing to do whatever is needed for your pets!
“Jennifer was fantastic! She went above and beyond with her communication and how she took care of Chase. I got constant updates and pictures. She was extremely attentive and took care of Chase like he was her own.”
“Christina has been cat sitting my two fur babies for a couple of months when I go on business trips. She has wonderful communication and my cats (who are picky) love when she’s over. They are well taken cared of and hope to continue booking with Christina for future pet sitting needs ! Thank you, Christina !”
“Kris did a great job. The dogs seemed to really like him and he seemed to really like them. Lots of pictures. House in good shape when we got home. Very easy to communicate with. Highly recommend.”
“Korrey was amazing! He was very attentive and understand with my concerns regarding general care, as well as my dog’s previous health issues. He kept me up to date with everything they were doing from her behavior, her day-to-day routine, etc.! He was extremely charismatic and went the extra mile for my girl. I will definitely be booking with him again when I need services!”

Amber did a great job house sitting for us over the Christmas holiday. We have two large dogs that she watched during this time. She provided detailed updates and photos, making us comfortable that our pups and house were in good hands while we were away. I would definitely recommend Amber.
Yiting is amazing and handled our three dogs with absolute perfection and amazing care. She went above and beyond with them. She send many daily photo updates and brought them cute collars as gifts. She took great care of our house as well and even managed a problem or two while we were away. We hope she’s available the next time we leave town.
Elizabeth is the best pet sitter hands down we have ever had. She made us feel so at ease with our puppy boxer Zoe. She provided regular check-ins and even arranged a play date for Zoe and another dog while we were away. She sent super fun pictures of Zoe which my kids absolutely loved. She also brought 3 puzzles to do with Zoe and sent cute videos. Elizabeth was so thoughtful and helped make some chicken and rice for Zoe while she was having some tummy troubles. I highly recommend Elizabeth to everyone. I know I’ll be reaching out to her again soon!
Here’s a polished five-star review you can use or tweak: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Faith was an amazing pet sitter! She was reliable, kind, and clearly cared deeply about my dogs. She kept me updated, followed all instructions, and made sure everything was taken care of while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets was in such loving and responsible hands. I would absolutely recommend Faith to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Dana is an exceptional pet sitter! She is very responsive, easy to talk to, and easy to book. She is extremely kind, responsible, has a great demeanor, is clearly comfortable with dogs (and in our case a puppy!). She arrived on time and left the house in great condition. We can’t wait to use her again!
