“Ember was absolutely fantastic with our Husky. She played with him, went out of her way to make him frozen Kings, and even BRUSHED him which is a whole chore for husky owners? She made us feel at ease while we were away and helped around the house while we were gone - took out the trash on trash day, gathered/sorted our mail, and went above and beyond washing towels and sheets. We were very appreciative of Ember and will book again!”
“Carmen made me feel at ease while caring for our 3 dogs. She has to juggle a puppy, senior, and other dog and did so without issue. She stayed in the house and gave them attention so I could enjoy time away. Will definitely book with Carmen again for sitting.”
About: I have had the pleasure with working with the biggest dogs to the smallest kittens. I’m also down to help out with mail or trash, just let me know! I do work a part time job and am an online student so my schedule if up in the air most of the time. However, I will make sure that I will work your best bud into my schedule as much as needed! I will take care of your fur balls as my own, if you have treats, I will be using them. I spoil my pets so I hope your ok with me spoiling yours, if they’re on a diet then that would be different of course.
“Emily took such good care of my dog Rocky while I was away for the weekend. I've already booked her again for another house sitting service during the week! She sent me so many cute videos with updates of how Rocky was doing. She ran through his commands with him, took him on a walk and gave him so many pets!!! She was responsive to my messages and read through Rocky's care instructions. She is very experienced with dogs and understood when I mentioned that Rocky is dog reactive and has some separation anxiety. I would highly recommend her for your pet needs!!! Thanks again Emily!”
“Megan is a blessing. Sent us lots of photos and videos of our pups while we were away and missing them. She left our home very clean for us too. She put our minds at ease for our first trip away from our pups.”
“Darian was amazing! She house sat for our three cats, two dogs, and backyard chickens. She gave us peace of mind knowing she was responsible, caring, and professional. She really cared for our animals like they were her own. We will definitely be asking her to take care of our girls again in the future and I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I absolutely love animals and would consider it an honor to care for your furry family members when the need arises. I worked as a part-time pet and house sitter for 3 plus years in Northern Virginia and only stopped when I moved to Stephens City. I am looking forward starting up again to earn a little extra income. I am experienced in house sitting as well. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
“Laura was amazing! She went above and beyond to take care of our dog and cat while we were away for the holidays. It was clear that she takes great care in how she interacts with the pets she works with. We got so many photos and videos of our dog on adventures and playing and training around the house, we never worried about them at all. We even joked that the animals might prefer her to us because she was so good at keeping them entertained! Knowing our animals were being we'll loved was exactly the kind of peace of mind we needed and SO worth every penny. We can't thank Laura enough!”
“Allyson is a fantastic fur baby sitter. We greatly appreciate her and her willingness to stay in our home with our 4 fur babies. Allyson is awesome and we would recommend her to anyone who needs a furbaby sitter in our area.”
About: Hi! I am Briana I have 8 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats, and I would love to take care of your furry friends! I have lots of energy and would love to walk/play with your fur babies. I have experience administering medication to animals, and aiding my elderly dog in her declining health. I’m currently out of school for the summer so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. Time with your pets will not be rushed. I can crate your dog if needed even if they are big/stubborn I am very strong even though I don’t look it this also goes for walking, I can ensure your dog doesn’t get off of the leash. I will make sure to leave a clients home just as I found it and I am not afraid to pick up poop.
“Super responsive. We recently moved to our new home and know very few people. I had a sitter set up for a pre-planned vacation and was ghosted by that sitter. Kait went above and beyond to make sure I felt secure with her watching my furbaby and made sure I knew she was not going to abandon him while I was out of state. She is truly amazing”
About: - Please note: On my property I have created a private fenced dog park and will pick u your fur baby, travel to my private dog park, spend a few hours having amazing fun and then travel back home, happy as can be and exhausted! - I have been a volunteer and foster of shelter animals as well as rescuing and providing a forever home for animals for many years. I worked at a shelter for a short time before resigning to open my own animal rescue. Working at an animal shelter opened my eyes to so many issues and reasons why people surrender their animals. I am currently in the process of opening an animal rescue through fostering each animal while finding a forever home for them. In addition, my rescue will focus on educating the public on the responsibilities of owning an animal over its lifetime. Opening a Non Profit rescue is what I am doing in my spare time because I have to continue to earn a living to provide for my family. Dog/cat sitting is the perfect profession for me because I get to continue to work with animals on a full-time basis and I feel this is the area in which I thrive and can continue to help with providing the best care possible. Over the years I have learned something from every animal I have worked with and/or owned. In recent years, I have completed training in Behavior Adjustment Training and The DO NO HARM DOG TRAINING AND BEHAVIOR HANDBOOK. I have the skills to know how to positively and appropriately approach animals as well as interact with them in a healthy way. In addition, I have the skills to quickly earn the trust of an animal. I am hoping that caring for animals will become my profession because I feel that I thrive in this area. Animals are the food for my soul and it would be a dream come true to work with them on a full-time basis. In my home and in my client’s home I practice what I have learned through attending dog training school as well as reading and practicing “THE DO NO HARM DOG TRAINING AND BEHAVIOR HANDBOOK.” Through school and experience I have learned how to appropriately approach animals, how to interact in a positive manner and how to gain the trust of an animal. In addition, I have the skills to positively interact with animals that may have difficulty walking on a leash, excessive jumping and much more.
About: I’m currently a nursing student enrolled at JMU! I’ve cared for animals all of my life and have had lots and lots of experience and different jobs and have owned lots of fun different pets as well. I care for all animals big and small! I have pets of my own so I’m always caring for them! I’m home for the summer now so my schedule is open and I’m willing to work with you. I have owned animals my whole life so I am familiar with how caring for animals go. I am willing to cater to your animals needs in any way and will always keep a close eye on them.

Lilyan J.
“Lilyan has taken care of my cats for several years; now I only have one. She willingly does more than just feed and empty litter boxes. She voluntarily brushes Dobby and gives him extra “lap time”. He obviously adores her. There are so many fabulous things I could say, but the one that sums it all up best is that I can leave knowing he is in more than just capable and dependable hands, he is in loving hands.”
