“This was our first time having someone we didn’t know watch our pups. Elizabeth put our minds at ease so we could enjoy some time away by how professional, caring, and thorough she was with the dogs. She kept up up to date, but wasn’t over the top about it at all, and walked, played with, and fed them on time every day. We could not have been happier and will definitely use her again!”


“I can’t begin to share how reliable and helpful Alicia was. This was a last minute house sitting for our pup and she was so helpful and kind. She’s walked her often and sent us pictures and even helped us take our trash out while we were out even though she didn’t have to. She’s a true gem and we cannot recommend her enough!”


“Carla was really great with our pets. She took care of our high energy dog, a cat and 3 kittens. I would highly recommend her as she is super friendly and a great caretaker for pets.”


“Haille is was so great! Great communication and lots of pictures every day. She went out of her way to befriend our very shy kitty. She even had to deal with a broken water line and no water for her last day here, and was a trooper about it. Highly recommend!”


About: Ive had animals of all kinds growing up. My family, friends and neighbors have all felt safe leaving their fur babies in my car when they need to leave them for a day or more. You can trust they will be in great hands. Im currently work full time. I can be at your home in the morning, after work and overnight any day of the week. I can also go on my breaks depending on location. I will keep your babies in their normal routine or a temporary routine. I will follow your instructions to a T. I will give them lots of love and playtime. I can follow any dietary needs. I also have experience in medications if your babies require them.

About: Hi my name is Janet. I have over 10 years of experience in taking care of animals. I have always been a huge animal lover and have revolved my world around animals. I am fully trained on animal cpr and first aid as well as medicating animals including insulin injections as well! *must be a stable diabetic* I will always monitor your pets to make sure they are eating, drinking water and going potty while in my care. I accept pets of all temperaments and always fully respect the animal in my care. I work at their comfort level to ensure they stay as safe and stress free as possible. I have lots of experience with handling dog reactive dogs as well as stranger danger animals. I have also given all types of different diets to animals so no diet is too complicated or gross for me! I know that every pet is completely different and all have different personalities and I promise to always do what’s best for your pet in my care even if that means staying out of their personal bubble if they prefer space over affection. I also have pet safe transportation and can take your dog on adventures to local parks and trails! I also will send daily photo updates if you would like them while they are in my care! I currently manage a doggy daycare/boarding facility in scottsville. I either work 6a-2p or 12p-8p there. I can easily leave mid shift on my lunch breaks to check in on your pet if those shifts are too long to leave your pet alone for! I also used to do overnights so if you work nights and want to keep your pet company while your at work no time is too late for me!! I can either take care of your pet in your own home or at my home! My house has a fully fenced in yard that is escape proof (my own three dogs helped me make it escape proof) as well as your pets own area that is separate from my own pets that they can safely rest and relax. I have crates available if your pet prefers to be in one when left alone but the room is also pet safe enough where they can be left out to safely roam. They will always have access to clean water and food (based on what their feeding is)


“Komal was absolutely amazing. My dog is VERY anxious around new people. I had to go out-of-state for a conference and since my regular sitter is no longer available, I had to place my trust in a complete stranger to take care of my dog and stay in my home. Even though Tucker barked and growled, she stuck with it. She was patient with him until he decided to trust her. She even offered to watch him again. Highly highly recommend!”


About: I have taken care of all types of dogs growing up from a Pug to a Rottweiler. From training babies to senior dogs. I am very punctual, quite active, and I love having a furry four legged besty on a walk or on a hike. 🫶🏾🦮 I have just recently moved to this new area and was looking to find something I enjoy doing and take pride in. With understanding how stressful it is trying to find a sitter to care for your pet as well as you would when youre away, let alone one that you can trust, is the reason why I am doing this! I do have furbabies of my own that I love dearly and get anxious overnight alone so house sittings entail all-day stays, no overnights available. I have a fenced in yard for running around, potty breaks, along with lots of indoor & outdoor activities to keep your babies entertained and active. Your babies will be treated like they are my own everywhere and anywhere we go.

“Everything seemed to have gone well. Whitney met us in person before sitting for Marlin and came again the day prior to make sure she had all the information needed and to get a lay of the land. She sent photos of marlin. Although we did not set expectations prior, in the future we would like more frequent updates. We would hire her again.”


“Erika was amazing with our cats! They absolutely loved her and we came back to happy kitties! She made sure to send pictures every day and we were so glad to be able to get her to watch them last minute!”


About: I've never done this as a job but have always helped friends and family in the past when they need 😊 I'm very friendly,loving, patient! Can't wait to meet you. I have summers off besides Mondays & Tuesdays! I'm pretty flexible and would just need to talk with you and see exactly what you are needing for your pet. Then we can go from there ☺️ For care in my home, I have a mostly fenced yard and a big 12 year old fur baby who is harmless. Walks around our neighborhood. Lots of love from my almost 7 year old daughter. Care in your home would be whatever you specifically want for your fur babe to keep them happy.

“Ranait was an incredible house sitter for my shy and nervous dog! She had last minute available to help us out in a pinch and was so thoughtful in her communications and updates. She took excellent care of the house and most importantly, my furbaby. We’d use Ranait again in a heartbeat!”


“What an awesome experience! Aydan took great care of my senior cat and kept me informed of how he was doing while I was away. It was such a relief to know he was safe and well-cared for, and got lots of cuddles! Highly recommended.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a little over 5 years. I have my current dog and dog sat for family and friends. I’m entrusted to feed, walk, play and bathe (if necessary) their dogs when they have come over or if I go over to their house. My current dog takes medicine as needed (pill form) so always willing to give medicine to a dog. I work full time as a nurse, but on night shift and only 3-12s. If you were to book with me, I’d make sure I didn’t have work the nights you are booking with me. My schedule is flexible. I care for your pets like my own and my goodness my dog is spoiled. Dogs at my house are allowed on all furniture, negate tables, and will be treated like they are my own. I have a fenced in yard and dog door that allows them to be able to go in and out at their leisure or I’ll take out as much as needed. Treats (if your dog is allowed or they aren’t on a specific weight loss or diet plan) are always given. Meds , if needed for your dog will be given on a timely basis.

“If I could give Jim 10 stars, I would. We were in a pinch and our normal house sitter was unable to watch our dogs. We took our little one with us but our 2 yr old GSD needed a friend. He stepped right up and offered his weekend. Not only did he spend most of the day with her but he gave her lots of walks, playtime in the yard and love. She is a nervous dog and requires alot of patience and stimulation. She has never been without her little buddy either. Jim truly cares about the animals he signs up for. He gave me lots of updates, took pics/videos and asked questions. We would recommend him to anyone! Worth every penny.”


“Lauren was excellent - she ended up giving our dog two sets of pills for a recent paw injury and was extra accommodating about our extra long flight delay. She was communicative and sent us lots of photos/updates of our lady. She even fed my backyard squirrels :) thank you, Lauren!!”


About: I have enjoyed house sitting and caring for fur babies for 3 years. My family pet was a pitbull and Lab and a couple cats growing up. One of my current customer has a mastiff so I'm used big puppies. Im currently working a full time job that is 14 hrs a day 3 days on 4 days off. This rotates every other month Monday Tuesday Wednesday/ Thursday Friday Saturday I have my own transportation. I can do house sitting with your fur babies. Take walks and cuddles on the couch. Also I can come in take you dog for a walk while you are working

About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. As a stay at home mom, I have lots of time and love to give to your dog. We love going to the park for long walks. Getting outside and playing is also a daily habit. But staying inside and enjoying cuddles is also an important part of each day. We love and respect each furry friend for the way it is. Hyper playful dogs, calm cuddly dogs, big or small dogs; it doesn't matter, we love them all. When you decide to trust me with your fur baby you will know without a doubt that they will be well cared for! When discussing your dogs stay please let me know as much about your dog as possible; including breed and age, tempermant, activity level, if your dog is housebroken and if your dog requires any medication during his or her stay. As a thank you for choosing us to care for your loved one, each guest will receive a custom handmade collar. We look forward to meeting you! A a stay at home mom, I am able to devote all of my attention to the needs of my clients. I am able to provide your loved one with time. My yard is fully fenced with secured gates so that you can rest easy knowing that your loved one is completely safe while under our care.

About: What makes me different from other sitters is my attention to detail and my commitment to treating every pet like my own. I tailor my care to each animal’s personality and needs, whether they require lots of activity or just quiet companionship. I’m comfortable with leash training, crate routines, and building trust with anxious or shy pets. I also provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication to keep pet parents informed and reassured. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my day around the needs of the animals I’m caring for—whether that’s early morning walks, scheduled feedings, medication times, or evening play sessions. I enjoy staying active, so daily walks and outdoor time with dogs are something I genuinely look forward to. I also set aside time for one-on-one interaction, training reinforcement, and keeping living areas clean and comfortable. If I’m doing drop-ins or overnight stays, I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention and aren’t left alone for long stretches. Pet care isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I prioritize. When pets stay in my home, I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and feel comfortable. I maintain a consistent routine with feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and quiet time. I always separate pets as needed for safety and comfort, and I make sure each animal has their own space, toys, and bedding. Cleanliness is a top priority, and I supervise interactions closely to ensure a calm and happy home. When I care for pets in their own homes, I do my best to maintain their familiar routines. I follow all care instructions carefully—feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any behavioral or training cues. I also keep the home tidy, bring in mail or packages if needed, and provide regular updates with photos and notes to give peace of mind. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, healthy, and stress-free in their own environment.


About: I think dogs are always trying to tell us something; we just have to be aware and quiet enough to listen. I grew up around dogs (big dogs, mostly) and currently have a 3-year old mutt of my own. She was my first dog I had as an adult, and I learned a LOT about dog training & behavior with her. She was a wild one who has been tamed, mostly due to age, but I'd like to think I've done a good job raising her. ;-) I will treat your dog with respect and dignity while keeping them safe. Keeping them safe is my #1 priority! I work for myself so my schedule is fairly flexible. I'm happy to help out during the week to walk your dog while you work those long hours at your shift or in the office. I don't let dogs play with other dogs while on walks due to safety. I'm never on my phone while walking dogs. There are too many variables that can happen! I'm familiar with the various types of collars, walking harnesses, etc. (I tried them all with my pup!) I keep the dogs moving on our walk, although depending on client requests, I will give dogs adequate time to sniff. (Sniffing is a form of canine enrichment, after all!)

“Makaila has watched my Dog and cats for over 6 years. I always knew when I went out of town that they were in great hands. She made sure my Aussie (Becky) who was a senior dog of 15 had her meds when needed and gave her plenty of love. My animals adore her and have always felt comfortable with her around. She has even taken them to appointments when I was unable to. She treats every animal as if they were her own. I will always recommend her to anyone to watch over their animals when they are out of town.”


Janet T.
“I got way more than I had ever hoped for when I chose Janet to walk my dog, Derrick. Not only did he come back exhausted for a good long walk, but he was also starting to walk better for me! I felt reassured that Janet would be a good fit for me and Derrick, as she has three dogs of her own of different size and activity levels. I knew that she would be able to handle anything that Derrick might throw at her. I recommend Janet to all my friends, family and neighbors for their dogs as well.”
