“Another perfect trip thanks to Larry! Our sweet black kitty Ivy is very shy when it comes to new people. We have been using Larry consistently and now she sees him as part of the family and comes out when he arrives! Thank you Larry for your patience and dedication to our fur babies! Always 10/10 ⭐️”
“Grace always takes such great care of our 2 cats. She was extra patient with getting our cat to eat who has been having appetite issues. And we always receive lots of cute pictures!”
“Felecia was so awesome! Resun and Roxy absolutely love her I can tell and are very comfortable with her. They even let her bathe them lol. We appreciate her patience during the 2 meet and greets as well for she did not have to do that. She took great care of our home EVEN washed their dog bowls out🫂☺️ We are grateful to know her and be able to travel freely now without worry. Thank you Felecia! See you again soon”
About: I always send pictures to update the owners, and let them know what we did that day or how the animal was that way they know everything is going smoothly. Just got home for the summer from college. I’m working part time tuesday-thursday 4pm-10pm but other than that i’m super flexible. I care for people’s pets as if they were my own, growing up with animals has made me love each and every animal I see out in public, I’m one of those people who will ALWAYS ask to pet your dog.
About: I started working as a vet tech at 17 and have two years of boarding experience at a veterinary hospital, well versed in schedules and procedures including medication and special needs. Currently working but flexible schedule, willing to work with your needs! Older/less active dogs preferred but happy to play with a puppy when so necessary. I worked directly beneath the boarding manager and trained new staff in observation, care schedules, and proper safety protocols. I also form bonds of trust with any animal I’m working with to ensure their and my comfort.
“We hired Kylie to take care of our babies for 10 days and I couldn’t be more pleased. I was very nervous as this was the first time leaving them in the hands of someone else for so long. She gave constant updates and took care of my babies just as she said she would. She was in constant communication and everything went smooth. She has no problem giving me pictures and updates. I will happily use her again in the future. If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, friendly sitter — Kylie is the one. Can’t thank her enough!”
“Maggie did a fantastic job looking after our older cat over the holidays. She was very communicative and sent us the cutest pictures every day. We came home to him happy and healthy, which is everything you want from a sitter! Thank you!!”
“Theresa was amazing in assisting us with our last minute catsitter needs! She was able to provide her services for more than a month (almost 2!!) & accommodate any requests we may have. Would definitely rebook again if needed. Thanks so much, Theresa ❤️”
“We’ve hired Tyler to watch our cat while on vacation a few times. He exercises great communication and we know Benny always has a great time playing with Tyler. We will continue using him in the future.”
About: I have had a dog all my life both big and small. I also cat sit and I’m willing to take care of all animals. Helping with your pets helps me be happy:) I am a PA student and I have classes from 10-3 most days. I am available to check in before or after class at anytime. I also am available weekends as well.

About: I have been taking care and been around dogs most of my life! I currently have a puppy and have been working on training him so my patience level is at an all time high!

“Brendan was amazing with our dog. When he says “your dogs new friend”, he is not lying. Blu really took to him and loved him. We are thankful we finally found someone we can trust with our dog.”
“Isabelle is awesome and met all of Axel's needs. I highly recommend her to everyone especially those military personnel that stands 24 hour days a few days out of the week.”
About: I have experience walking and taking care of small puppies and adult dogs and cats!! I have experiencing walking dogs in cities as large as NYC and local areas like Norfolk. I also have a family dog and have raised my own cat Luna since she was a young kitten. I am happy to offer drop in visits for dogs or cats and dog walking services. I am excited to meet and your special friend and I am looking forward to our exciting adventures together. I am currently a medical student at EVMS and flexible with my hours. I am available for dog walking during the day or house visits for cats/dogs as needed! I am a very considerate, thorough, and careful person and definitely exercise caution on all walks! Whether I’m walking your dog or watching your cat/dog, I promise to send plenty of photos and an end-of-visit recap to share your pet’s adventures so you know how everything went. I will make sure they remain clean, loved, and taken care of.
“Myrna always goes above and beyond every time she visits and it’s why we have decided to employ her services each time we go on a trip. To know our fur babies are safe and sound is the true key to enjoying time off and away. Thank you Myrna!”

Jaclyn was amazing with both of my cats, we have never left them with someone who wasn’t family or a close friend, but Jaclyn made us feel like our babies were in good hands the entire time. We will definitely be booking with her again when we go on trips in the future!
Jelise has been absolutely amazing with Diesel during a very stressful family emergency for us. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, cared for, and stayed on his normal routine. I really appreciated the detailed updates, photos, and how attentive she was to his meals, water, potty breaks, and overall behavior. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while I had to focus on family. You can tell she genuinely cares for the animals she watches. Diesel clearly felt comfortable with her, and that means everything to me. I’m beyond grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and the love she showed my boy. I would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable sitter.
Benjamin was available last minute to take care of my Saint Bernard. They were polite, respectful, and very caring towards Toby. They even changed a litter box for my cats which was not expected and kind. I would recommend Benjamin to anyone looking for care for their pets!
McKayla did a great job caring for my community cat, made sure the food was put out, sent helpful updates, and included pictures so I could see that everything was okay. I really appreciated her communication and reliability, especially since caring for a feral cat can be a little different than caring for an indoor pet. I would definitely recommend her and would book with her again.
Lucia did a great job looking after my 2 kitties! She followed all my instructions I left behind & was communicative during drop-ins! She definitely eased my mind when we were traveling. We’ll be sure to look out next time for Lucia when needing a reliable and caring sitter! ☺️
