“Brianna is a wonderful pet sitter! She has been to us numerous times and has administered insulin to our diabetic cat as well as looked after our other cat. She leaves detail summaries and photos which are always a comfort to see. I had a family emergency and requested her to come with only a few hours notice! She responded very quickly and it gave me peace to know our diabetic cat would be cared for. I highly recommend Brianna💚”
“Abby did an amazing job with our boys while we were gone. She went above and beyond in all ways and gave great updates. One of our cats is normally very standoffish with new people and he took to Abby right away. She is absolutely the best and we 100% plan to book her again in the future.”
“Jillian did a great job. She showed up at the appointed times, fed the dogs and gave them a bunch of "sugar". My dogs just love her and really enjoy her company. I don't worry about them when Jillian is taking care of them.”
“Rachel is a wonderful cat sitter! My cats were very happy and well taken care of, and even Bella, who is very shy around new people, warmed up to her. Rachel was also very easy to talk to and sent daily updates.”
“Katie took care of our cats while we were gone for two weeks. She did an excellent job and is very responsible with good communication. We plan to use her again in the future and would highly recommend her.”
About: I have previously worked with Flying Fur, a doggy daycare and boarding service located in Newport, VA. Here, I gained experience working with various breeds and temperaments, and I would be happy to help you with your animal while you are away. In high school, I took small animal care as well as vet science, and have interacted with several of the therapy dogs on Radford University Campus. I am currently a college student working part-time, and I’d love to help care for your pet on my free time!! I am free weekly in the mornings and evenings! Can’t wait to meet your pets! During the walks, I allow the dogs to go at their own pace to get a sense of security with me and I love to reward them if they are doing good!
About: Ever since I was born I had an animal right by my side . I have learned to take care of animals and provide for them. I have taken care of friends, family and neighbors pets in the past. I also have worked at a dog daycare called tail chasers so I have experience with big dog groups. I’m good with cats as well . I’m experienced with walking multiple dogs at a time because I got 3 myself. I’m currently working 3:30 am to 12:00 pm so I will have plenty time to spend with your animals. I’m free on the weekends as well . Willing to come to your place to house sit and take care of your animals. I have done that in the past for people. Willing to also stop by and give water, food and walks with some play time on the side .
About: I've had a dog all my life except for the brief interlude (1965-1970) while I served in the Marine Corps. Since my kids have grown and left home my dogs are now my babies. I'm retired and have a lot of time on my hands. I'd like to have the option of caring for someones pet now and then to give me something to do. I love dogs and rarely met a dog that doesn't love me right back. My dogs are almost always with me. Excepting - going to the store in the summer when the temperature in the car would be too hot. I make sure my dogs are safe and comfortable.
“Kennedy is the absolute best! She sent a ton of pictures and videos of the pups while we were gone and even clipped my bigger dog’s nails for us! She’s so sweet and I could rest easy knowing my dogs were being so cared for while we were away.”
“Morgan goes above and beyond for the pups each and every time she sees them. She even got them special treats for their birthday during this past visit!! Also, she is so flexible and accommodating of my crazy schedule! Couldn't recommend more!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all ages and understand how to meet their unique needs! Whether it’s a playful puppy in training stages or supporting a senior pup with extra love and patience. I’m dependable, caring, and always focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I'm a lifelong dog lover, and have had experience taking care of my own 4 pups! Along with sitting for family and friends over the years. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I currently have a part-time job at Montgomery hospital and attend Radford University during the school year, but I still have plenty of availability outside of classes. A majority of my classes are done by 11 am. And Wednesdays are my busiest/fullest days. I enjoy spending my free time with animals, and I’m great at balancing my responsibilities while making sure pets get the attention and care they need! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to follow their usual routines to help the pet feel safe and comfortable. I give lots of attention, playtime, and care, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions! Whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or favorite walking routes. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.
“Jessie was incredible while we were out of town for a two week vacay. She was dependable and communicated very well to give us great updates on our 2 cats. She even was flexible when our travel plans changed and was able to accommodate additional visits on short notice. We would definitely recommend Jessie to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“The best decision we could make! Our cat Navajo has put Sam right into the heart! She did a great job and exceeded our expectations!!! We're already looking forward to our next vacation, on which I hope Sam will be there for us again!”
“Afnan is so wonderful. I always know my kitty is in great hands when Afnan is watching her! I even joke that my kitty likes it better when I leave and her favorite cat sitter gets to come spend time with her. Perfect communication and flexibility. Thank you again 💜”
“Emily was fantastic! She was very loving of the boys from the start, and during the stay she was punctual and organized. We received updates and pictures with each visit, and came home to happy boys (except that I think they missed her!). Will definitely book again :)”

Amelia B.
“I can't say enough good things about Amelia and the amazing care she provided for my two beagles! One is a playful 1-year-old and the other is a sweet and lazy 10-year-old. Amelia handled both of them with so much love, patience, and attentiveness. Not only is she incredibly sweet, but she also went above and beyond while I was away. I came home to a spotless house and two happy pups. She even tackled the nearly impossible task of bathing one of my dogs after she was sprayed by a skunk—something I wouldn’t wish on anyone! Amelia handled it with grace and made sure my pup was clean and comfortable. It's such a relief knowing I have someone I can truly trust with my dogs and my home. Amelia is everything you'd want in a pet sitter! She is caring, responsible, and just a genuinely wonderful person. I Highly, highly recommend her!!!”
