“MacKenzie was fantastic! We had a family member cancel with short notice for watching out 2 dogs and 3 cats for a week while we were going on vacation. I quickly hopped on Rover to see who was near us, and decided to message MacKenzie based on other reviews that had been left. She was quickly able to come over and meet our gang to make sure it would be a fit. After that initial meeting, my husband and I both felt very comfortable and confident with her coming to stay and take care of things while we were gone. The day we were supposed to leave, we ran into some issues but MacKenzie was flexible and fast to communicate. She was very punctual and sent brief updates/questions throughout the week (she has our preference on communication and we had told her we didn't need regular check ins or updates). When we got home, we could tell our dogs and cats had missed us, but it was also clear that they had been well taken care of. Overall, if and when I may need another house & pet sitter, I wouldn't hesitate to reach back out to MacKenzie and I won't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for help.”

“It was not easy leaving my dogs but I knew they were in good hands the minute I met Meghan. She took great care of my dogs and sent me detailed updates. I highly recommend Meghan and will definitely use her again!”
“My husky puppy adores Carlita! It was so great to come home from my work trip to a clean & tidy space, tired and played-out dog, AND she even made time to make my bed so I could crawl right in. So thoughtful!”
“Jammie did it again. She takes such great care of our animals while we are away. We feel no anxiety at all leaving our fur babies in her care. I cannot recommend her enough. Communication and thoughtfulness can’t be beat!”

“Lauren was great. Super friendly and could tell she truely cared about taking care of our dog and 2 cats. She sent pictures and updates and asked questions to make sure she was doing everything right. She was accommodating with a more last minute booking to house sit for a weekend. Would definitely reccomend Lauren!”
“My 3 cats looked very well taken care of and Emily made sure that my house was clean when I got back from my trip. She did such a great job. Definitely will book her again!!”
About: I am a 26yr old, active, organized and compassionate mom looking for some extra hours. I grew up on a horse farm with a couple dozen cats, and multiple dogs of all sizes over the years. From English mastiffs to Chihuahuas. My own pup bodhi LOVES playing tag and wrestling. I have no issues taking leash trained dogs for walks, to the park, river, or bathing. I have two dogs of my own, Roxy and Bodhi, that love meeting new friends and going for swims in the river. We own our home. There are baby gates throughout to separate the dogs from the playroom, daughters bedroom, and kitchen when we’re eating. We have a 6 foot fully fenced backyard with Blink cameras. Before moving into my own home, we shared a house with 5 other dogs/roommates which they got along with well. I don’t mind animals being on furniture as long as they have boundaries! We have multiple dog beds, two couches and a love seat the animals can lay on. As well as a cat tree, two litter boxes, and cat beds in the windowsills for sunbathing baby’s. I have blink cameras for the few hours I am at work (part time afternoons m-th) to speak to them and watch any and all shenanigan's! Also, my partner does work from home, so there is always someone just incase. I have a 2yr old daughter that has grown up around animals. Rats, cats, snakes, small and large dogs, ect. And loves the daily feeding and petting new friends. I don’t believe in hitting or screaming at anyone especially not fur babies. Extra cuddles and scratches are given out as requested by doggo :) we love to give out treats! We wake up around 8:30am, let the dogs out, fill water bowls and eat breakfast while the dogs play in the yard. Depending on the weather, the dogs like to stay out for awhile! Once it starts to heat up they come in to relax. My dogs typically go back outside to play for 30, then lay in the kitchen when my daughter takes her nap 2pm. They let us know when they want to come and go usually. They go out again around 5pm-6pm, eat on the patio, then come inside to chill. They go out again at least once before bed, sometimes more often. Really easy going. They have toys inside and outside, as well as water bowls. We go for a walk on the weekends or cool evenings with my daughter in the stroller. They have dog friend that come to play often. I have blink security cameras that I can see and talk to the dogs on while I am not there. My dogs stay out around the house when I leave but we do also have two XL kennels incase. We feed our visiting doggos in a separate room to avoid any possible food aggravation but there is always water down 24/7.
“Upon the first meeting trinity presented very well and demonstrated a genuine love for animals. I trusted her with the dare of Tara and Bentley immediately. She provided regular updates , sending photos and advising of events. Tara and Bentley seemed to become acclimated quickly and became very comfortable with her presence. I am very pleased with the service she provided and would absolutely book with Trinity again.”
About: I've had pets my whole life from the biggest of dogs to cutest of cats. I'm a very active mom, and fitness lover that could always use a furry partner. 🐕🦺🐈 I'm currently working mornings 7am-3pm, so anytime before 6 am or after 4pm drop off works best for me. I have a back yard as well as 1 lovely cat that usually doesnt mind other cats or dogs being around. My home is clean warm and inviting to all animals. Hooray! As a mom pet care fits into my schedule perfectly. My kids have a lot of fun with all animals that come to our home. I currently moved into a smaller place but my 6 year old son and a young wild & free 3 year old son, who can't get enough of the running he gets to do during my sits.
“What a comfort knowing Phin was home and taken such good care of with Brenda! He lights up when he sees her so I know being away on vacation for a week didn't stress him out and found love and comfort with Brenda each day. Thank you!!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of puppies and dogs since our family got our mutt puppy Cocoa who recently passed away after 17 amazing years. Family friends who vacation, friends who just need a break, and my sisters have all entrusted me with their furry family members to feed, walk and play with while they weren’t able to. I currently train and care for a pitbull terrier, Buddy, who is very sweet and very high energy. He always wants to make a new friend. My schedule is currently very flexible as I WFH so I can closely care for your pet all day. My availability on this app is very accurate to my schedule. I have a cozy patio with the apartment and will keep your pet company at all times. Pups are emotional like humans and I like to make sure their needs are met while bonding with them. They are welcome to hang out on the couch and watch tv or lay on the doggy day bed on the patio to sunbathe, this is their home away from home.
About: I’ve always had multiple dogs my entire 28 years of life! As the youngest of 3, it was always up to me to walk, feed, and train the dogs. I currently have a 5 year old pit/pointer mix and a dachshund mix under a year old! We love going for walks at the river or visiting the dog park in Chester! My wife and I also have 2 cats, meaning our dogs are very active friendly! We love all animals, shape and sizes! We reside in Colonial Heights and have a relatively decent sized fenced in back yard! Our cats are spoiled and have a dedicated room where they can come and go as they please, no dogs allowed! We also have a spare room to accommodate any dogs that may need to be separate for any reasons. Safety is very important to me! In my car I have multiple doggy seatbelts and harnesses dedicated for riding. I look forward to showing your dog or cat to the Daisey Does It way! I truly care for anyone’s pets as my own. I currently work part time while attending part time classes at Brightpoint Community College. I’m home except for a few early mornings, so my availability is pretty open. I can walk dogs or do home visits throughout the day or night. I can also board a dog(s) on most nights throughout the week. I have a relatively large fenced in yard with lots of doggy toys! My wife and I have 2 dogs that love meeting new friends to play with! We also have two cats, they have always been around dogs. We treat all animals as our own. We believe animals are better than people, haha! Our pets are our children, they are allowed on the furniture, and sleep with us as well. We can crate your animal if needed and have a spare room if you’d like your animal separated for any reasons. Our dogs are trained for off leash hikes, but we do walk them around the neighborhood as well. I’d love to take your fur baby to the local river trails even to run off leash in my backyard!
About: I’ve taken care of all of the animals my neighbors and family have had since I was able to walk. Animals mean everything to me I only work part time (and plan to keep it that way) so I’m always available to take care of your animals for you, especially on the weekends and holidays I stay in an apartment without a yard unfortunately, but there are dog parks that I visit often near by and plenty of space inside my home and around the complex for your animal.

Adriana G.
“My dog is like my child- so knowing he will be well taken care of by someone reputable is at the top of my wishes when looking for someone to watch him - especially because of his separation anxiety towards me. When Adriana watched him they had an instant connection! Making him (and myself) feel at ease during my time away. I could sense her genuine love for animals. Adriana was extremely flexible and communicative with me when watching atom. She was attentive towards atoms needs (and he’s a needy one). Additionally she was well educated on his physical and nutritional needs and was eager to fulfill any additional requests made, like cleaning off his paws, adding snacks throughout the day etc etc. I’m so happy I chose Adriana to care of my fur baby!”

If’s that’s anything she don’t know of or have a problem she will call me quickly to solve the problem. Without a question she is a good per owner!”

Emily was truly a phenomenal house/dog sitter. My furbaby is very anxious about new people and Emily was extremely patient with him to ensure his comfort. By the end of week, they were best buds!! She provided thorough updates throughout the day and showed she genuinely enjoyed caring for him. We will always call Emily before anyone else. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!

I can’t thank Andrew enough for the amazing care he provided for my nincompoops, Vinny and Toby. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and adorable photos that put my mind at ease. He followed all my instructions perfectly, ensuring the goobers felt comfortable and happy. And, they were exhausted when I returned, which means they had plenty of mental stimulation and physical exercise. I know my two pups aren't easy, but Andrew handled them with ease.
