“Shemoy worked closely with us to make sure our dogs were comfortable before we left them. She treated our babies like her own and always kept us fully updated :)”


2. Patricia U.

“Whst a wonderful thing it is to know your fur babies are in capable, loving hands while you spend time away. Patricia is a sweet, special lady and my two dogs fell in love with her immediately. I will certainly be calling on her again soon.”


3. Chelsea J.

“Chelsea stayed at our house with our cat Rascal for 10 days while we were out of the country. She was a great house guest and Rascal clearly warmed up to her given the photos of him snuggling on her lap. Definitely recommend her services!”


4. Kimberly P.
“Kimberly was absolutely phenomenal! She communicated well and handled my 3 senior pups with the love I myself would have shown them! Not only that but she also ensured a neat and tidy home when I returned! 10/10 recommend!”


5. Ciara S.

“Ciara is absolutely fantastic. We booked her at the last minute and were out of town so we weren't able to actually do a walk through with her but she did everything we asked of her and more. She was very communicative, sent so many photos and status check ins of my dog, and in general is so sweet and you can tell she loves animals. I will be using her services in the future and recommend to everyone. She is amazing.”


6. Charlotte R.

“Charlotte was great with our two cats and left our home in pristine condition. Five stars for prompt and thorough communication. We've already booked her next stay!”


7. Isabel D.
“I have a rescue dog who is hesitant with new faces. I had to go out of town for a week and connected with Isabel to pet sit. Isabel responded quickly and with professionalism. She was confident she would be able to manage my rescue dogs and understood her needs. I have used other companies/people in the past and Isabel has exceeded my expectations by far! She was attentive, compassionate, understanding, and timely. I will definitely use her again and recommend her to my friends.”


8. Rebecca H.

“Rebecca was amazing! She met our two dogs a week before we left for our trip - something that definitely makes us feel confident in our pick, especially as we have an anxious pup and a bigger pit mix. Rebecca kept us updated throughout her stay with our girls, sending plenty of pics and videos to let us know what love fest we were missing!”


9. Jessica T.


“Jessica was wonderful! I came back home to a dog who’d been well taken care of while I was away and a house that was almost exactly as I’d left it. Jessica was also incredibly communicative and I could not be happier with her services while I was away!”


10. Brittney G.

“Brittney was a wonderful dog/house sitter! Excellent communication throughout our trip and constant pictures and updates on our dove. House and dogs were great upon returning. Would absolutely hire Brittney again! 😀😀”


11. Michael R.

“Absolutely fantastic and reliable. Michael is reliable and loving. We can finally enjoy vacation knowing our cat is completely taken care of.”


12. Amanda S.

“Amanda did a fabulous job staying with our dog and cat! Both were very well loved and cared for. I knew from our meet and greet that they would be in great hands. Both took to her immediately. I highly recommend Amanda and will definitely ask her to pet sit for us again.”

About: Hello families! My name is Caitlyn Via. I am 25 years old, graduated high school June 2018. Started Rappahannock Community College my senior year of high school because they were offering a Certified Nursing Assistant and I chose to apply for the program and got accepted. I’m currently attending Rappahannock Community College for Nursing. However I have chose to apply next year because this year wasn’t my year. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid. I love any and every type of dog. I love dogs but also love so many other animals. Just trying to get some extra cash for college. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! Can’t wait to work with the animals! Message me ! Hello! Im so grateful for this app because it give me the opportunity to hang out with animals I love. I’ve been taking care of animals since I can remember. My parents always had a dog when growing up along with horses,hamsters and cats. I will happily visit your pets in the comfort of their own home and take them to their favorite spots. Thank you so much for the opportunity to take care of your fur babies ❤️ I always ask what the normal routine is and for all information regarding medical or behavioral issues so I can take best possible care of your fur babies.

17. Lori D.
“Lori is the kindest, most compassionate, and sensitive person I know. She cares very deeply about animals, humans and the environment. She has cared for both me and my pets and I wouldn't dream of asking anyone else to care for my beloved fur babies. Not only is she attentive, but she also practices Reiki energetic healing and animals LOVE that energy! I watch animals immediately bond to her and love her. She returns that love tenfold. I have seen Lori care for her own dog for many years and her fur baby was fed home-cooked meals including special homemade dog biscuits. Lori researches holistic solutions for health and behavior issues for the pets in her life and her acumen has added happy and healthy years to their lives. Lori's huge, tender, and empathetic heart is unmatched. She has a calm demeanor and immediately puts animals at ease. She's also creative and brilliant and she thinks outside the box to make sure all in her care are receiving the very best she can offer. Lori is THE BEST!”
