Soft Hearted Animal Lover

Hello, I am a work from home financial systems consultant. I have a soft spot for all animals. My wife and I lost our beloved Bichon Frise several years ago and we’re still not quite ready to adopt another. However, I would welcome the opportunity to open my home to the pets of others while they are at work, on vacation or otherwise in need of someone to look after their fur baby. My wife and I live in Nokesville, VA in a small home on 1.5 acres. The property is not fenced in but not to worry your pet will never leave the house before first being secured to a leash. I have three feral cats that I feed daily. They never come in the house or even allow me to pet them, they just hang out for the food. I was able to trap them all and take to the vet to be spayed/neutered. Ha, maybe that’s why they won’t let me pet them. Anyway, please know that while in my care your pet will be loved and just maybe a little spoiled. I will always follow your specific requirements (dietary, medicine, etc) and communicate regularly with you.

They are pros! Frankie was treated so well and they gave him such high quality care and love. I was at peace on my trip knowing they had him.

Barry and Cheryl were very kind and accommodating. They had our pup for a long stay, and they were great with her!

Barry and Cheryl were absolutely wonderful pet sitters for our French bulldog, Blu! They were incredibly kind, accommodating, and clearly cared for our dog like he was their own. They kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was safe, happy, and well loved. They spoiled him with treats, walks, cuddles, and so much attention — he was truly living his best life! It’s obvious they genuinely love animals and go above and beyond to make pets feel comfortable and cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Barry and Cheryl to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving pet sitters.
