House Sitting In Mechanicsville

“Devan was amazing! We left town for a long 10 day trip and when we returned all 3 dogs were relaxed so I could tell they were really well taken care of. Devan sent us regular pics and videos which helped us humans relax as well! Highly recommended!”

“Javay is great! Super flexible and is incredibly attuned to dog needs/emotions. She offered multiple meet and greets and made sure to know the dog before sitting. Great stuff”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the past 9 years, I've cared for dogs of every size, age, and personality: puppies, seniors, high-energy large breeds, and anxious pups who need patience and consistency. I'm a dog mom to a 10-year-old Lab-mix and an active foster, so rescue organizations have trusted me to care for dogs in transition who need extra structure and love. I also regularly walk and exercise dogs for friends, which means I'm used to earning trust quickly with new pups and their people. My own dog, Nala, struggles with severe separation anxiety and high mental stimulation needs. Caring for her has sharpened my observation of dogs. I pick up on the small things: a slight limp, a head shake, a change in breathing. I document what I notice and share it with owners so they stay informed. I follow every dog's lead and adjust to what they need that day. I'm available most days and times and happy to work around your routine. Pet care is my focus, and I show up consistently. Just let me know what works best for you! Between fostering, walking friends' dogs, and raising Nala, I've built real hands-on experience with dogs across a wide range of needs and temperaments. My home has a yard for outside time (unfenced), and I stay fully present during every visit and walk. I communicate with owners however they prefer: photos, texts, or a full recap after each visit.

“James was great. My dog is very high energy and can be a bit difficult and James handled it with ease. I will definitely be working with him again!”

“So excited we came across Lauren's profile! She did an excellent caring for our two pups, one is a senior and completely blind so Lauren spent extra time caring for her special needs. Lauren was also very communicative and left the house well organized, she also did a great job letting us know what her days looked like as far as her scheduling to be hanging with the pups. We've already booked a 2nd house sit with her! Thanks again for being so detailed in your communication!”

“Jasmine was wonderful with our pets while we were away for a week! She sent plenty of videos and pictures, and was extremely communicative. Our dog has a lot of quirks and she handled them wonderfully. Would book with Jasmine any time!”

“Sydney was great! She’s very personable and easy to interact with, which put me at ease since this was my first time using a pet sitter. Mimzy immediately felt comfortable with her and my shy cat warmed up to her, as well. Sydney was quick to respond to messages and sent daily picture updates. I’d recommend her to anyone and plan to use her again in the future.”

“Cayla is amazing!”

“Jen was a fantastic sitter for our pup, Maddie! She was very communicative sending regular photo updates during her stay, and kept everything shipshape around the house. If you’re seeking a reliable sitter look no further!”

Will B.

“This was my second time using Olivia and it was just as great of an experience as the first. My dog can be super high energy upon meeting people and she does a great job of letting him get his zoomies out before settling in. Will definitely book again!”

Ali P.

“Lois does a great job taking care of our home and our pup. We feel so much more comfortable traveling now that we know we have someone taking care of our dog and his separation anxiety.”

Jackson W.

“This was my first time using Rover and I feel like we made a great choice hiring Dan! Dan made our first experience better by happily offering to meet the pups in advance to make sure the pet sitting weekend went smoothly. His calm energy was really reassuring, especially because one of our dogs is a bit anxious. When we got home our dogs were happy and the house was tidy. We will definitely use him again for any pet sitting needs in the future.”

“Whitney was fantastic. Cooper is an easy dog to take of, so I knew she wouldn’t have an issue, but I wanted someone special with him while I was out of town. Whitney took fantastic care of Cooper as well as my home. She communicated daily and sent me pictures of my puppy throughout her stay here. Cooper even followed Whitney into her car when she was leaving. 🥰 I’d recommend Whitney highly and will be using her services in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Jose took great care of our dog and house. Was very communicative and on time. Would always recommend.”

Marc T.

“Inaya was very communicative and our dog clearly had a great time with her!! We came home to a clean house and a happy dog. We loved our experience with Inaya and would recommend!”

Tyler B.

“We love Desiree! We are able to relax and enjoy our vacation and know that our girls are safe and happy. She is always responsive and responsible. This is our second time asking her to sit for us and we look forward to many more!”

Katie V.

“Rian was very professional and considerate of our dog's routine and special needs (reactive and on medication 3x/day). We hired Rian to house sit/watch our dog while we were out of town and also booked a few walks with her ahead of time. Rian was very nice and communicated with us regularly. Our dog is slow to warm up to new people and Rian was very understanding and patient with her, which we greatly appreciated. I'd highly recommend Rian!”

Alison F.

“Tevin took great care of our home and our furbabies! He sent photos and videos every day, which is always appreciated. Our pup Hannah got to go on plenty of walks while we were away. He cleaned the house and bathrooms before our return and left everything in great condition. We never had to wait more than a few moments for replies back to our communications. Thank you, Tevin!”

Sarah N.

“Nicole was super communicative and went above and beyond taking care of our pit mix! Our dog had a few mishaps (NOT her fault--he is just old and weird) and Nicole made us so at ease with her competent, flexible, and responsible approach to caring for him. I was not worried at all because I could tell he was in great hands. Nicole also took great care of the house when we were away. We came home from our trip to a spotless house and a happy dog. I look forward to hiring her again!”
