“Sherry took our menagerie of dogs and cats in stride when she arrived and she handled my dog Duncan with ease during the walk. She obviously loves animals and my dog, who is sometimes shy with strangers, immediately liked her and will be happy to see her the next time she comes. I highly recommend her if you need a good caretaker for your pets.”

“Katie is AMAZING! She’s walks my puppy during the day so he can get some energy out and get some exercise while I’m at a work and let me just say he looks SO SO SOOOO happy in all of the pictures she sends! I love how she sends me picture of him through out the walk and a report of how the walk went! I 100% recommend Katie for any of your needs!”

About: I have owned and taken care of a variety of pets from a young age. I feel comfortable around all types of animals and I understand how to interact with them. I am currently working full time with weekends off. My current work schedule is from 7-3 so I would be available for late afternoon and evening check-ins on week days. I am available on the weekends for any time of day. I will be home full time between June and August and available all day. I have a fenced in yard with lots of space for running and playing. I have two lovable Boston Terriers and two well behaved and socialized cats. We allow all of our animals on the furniture and lots of cuddle time. Our animals have access to water all day and we can feed them according to your schedule or leave food out.

About: I was born into a home with canine sisters and grew up with both cats and dogs. While I love all sorts of dogs, I have spent most of my life caring for cats. I also have training in cat and dog first aid. I'm a professor, and I travel to RI once per week. The remainder of the time, I work from home, libraries, and cafes, so I have plenty of time to hang out and play with your kitties or pups. I can also take breaks for walks throughout the day, as I mostly set my own schedule. I will interact with your fur babies on their own terms. For kitties, this might mean lots of cuddling and playing or hanging out and talking from across the room until they feel comfortable with me. I send pictures and updates at least once from every visit. Most of my recent dog experience with dogs has been with friends' pitties, which has always involved playing a lot. I am unfortunately unable to board animals at this timem

“Cat was fantastic! Took great care of my dog and was very responsive and informative. She even came ahead of time and did a meet and greet to make sure my dog was comfortable with her. I will definitely be booking again!”

“I was nervous having someone come into my home and take my pup on walks while I’m at work but Megan has been so great! My dog Dixie loves her! Thank you Megan for what you do! 😁”

About: I worked at a reputable kennel for a year in cat and dog walking, grooming, basic training, and health. I've also worked with many other pets throughout my life. I currently work mornings and I may have some small events certain days, but I am willing to work around it. Bookings at least three days in advance will be the only ones I accept unless stated otherwise. I cannot bring dogs or cats back to my home due to allergies of family members, but I can do anything outside my home or in yours. Whatever I can do to keep your pets happy is my pleasure.

From playful pups and cozy cats to barn animals and reactive dogs, I bring years of experience, patience, and love to every pet I care for. Whether you need daily dog walks, drop-in cat care, house visits for your senior pet, or even a calm hand during end-of-life transitions, I’m here for you and your animals every step of the way. I also offer pet taxi services to help get your furry loved ones where they need to go — vet appointments, grooming, or even just home from daycare. At Virginia’s Haven, it’s not just about pet sitting — it’s about creating peace of mind, compassionate support, and a second home for your animals. I’m available 7 days a week, all year round, including holidays.

When caring for pets in my home, I provide: 🐾 Safe, supervised introductions 🛏️ Cozy, designated rest areas 🦴 Plenty of playtime, enrichment, and love 📆 Routine and structure to help them feel secure 🐶 Individual attention, especially for pets with anxiety or special needs I understand that every animal is different, which is why I tailor care based on your pet’s personality, preferences, and comfort level. 🐕‍🦺 Important Note About My Own Dog 🐕‍🦺 I also have a reactive dog of my own who lives with me full-time. She's incredibly loved and well-managed, but she does take some time to warm up to new dogs — we call her our nervous nelly. Because of this: I use slow, controlled introductions I monitor all interactions carefully I may keep pets separated until I’m confident they’re comfortable Your pet’s emotional well-being is just as important as their physical safety, and I’ll always make thoughtful, professional decisions based on what’s best for everyone involved. 💖

About: Ever since I have been a pet sitter, I treat every animal as if they are my own. I instantly fall in love with every animal I meet and create great bonds with my furry friends. When not at my 9-5, I always make time for my animals. I love taking morning and evening walks and playing fetch. Weekends I even take adventures with them. When taking care of pets, I treat them as if they are my own children. I never want them to feel nervous and upset, I try to give them the best experiences I can.

“Fantastic, punctual and even our anxious with strangers chihuahua loved Kaelyn”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! Whether I was taking care of my small “zoo” of hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, and dogs when I was younger, pet sitting for family friends, or now in my adult life taking care of my own animals, their health, safety, and well being have remained my focus. They are such an important part of our lives, and we are their whole lives. I currently have an open schedule, so I have lots of time to take your dog on a short walk or check in on your pets during the day! I am comfortable taking dogs outside on leash or off leash in a fenced in yard, and walking them in the area around your home. I am able to crate dogs if needed in your home.

“Clara has been so easy to work with and I have difficulty leaving my pups in the care of others but I do not have to worry about my dogs while at work. She is great with them and I highly recommend her”
