Jessica was so kind and flexible with our needs. She loved our girls so well and took amazing care of them. We received so many photos and videos of our two happy pups it made all the difference. Highly recommend and will be using her again!

About: Hello! My name is Bianca. I have always loved and had a connection to all sorts of animals. I have nearly 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and rodents. I currently have 2 fur babies (Oden & Luna), a crested gecko named Biscotti, and a tree frog named Ice Ferg Slim. I currently have a remote job where I make my own hours, this allows me the flexibility to care for your pet without rushing. I can be available as early as 6am or as late as 9pm. Don't worry about my babies, my fiancé works from home full time as well so they are never without love and care! When visiting your home, I will be sure to follow any provided instructions. For your cats, I can provide drop-in food and water, play time, and cuddles (if your cat likes). For your dogs, I am comfortable with feeding and giving clean water, providing exercise and/or playing their favorite games, brushing, cleaning off paws, using a crate, or any other requests. I am very comfortable with walking/playing with big dogs too (rottweilers are my fav)! While taking care of your baby, I will treat them as my own and will ensure that their environment is clean, safe and secure after each visit.

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.

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!

I wish I could give 10 stars instead of 5 because that's how good Emily was with our dogs. She is personable and kind and our girls took to her instantly during our preliminary meeting before our trip. She made me feel comfortable leaving our pets and I knew they would be safe and loved while she housesat for us. Excellent communication and just a good person all around. Our dogs were pampered and cared for and I'm sure forgot all about the fact we were gone for 4 days. I am so happy we found Emily.

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.

About: Ive had a variety of pets such as dogs, cats and ferrets, which helped me develop patience, problem-solving skills, and the ability to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I’ve always had a passion for animals, ensuring they feel loved and well cared for. Currently, I’m a college student at Virginia State University, majoring in animal science. While I take on a load of 6 classes, i have more than enough time to provide playtime, love, and care to your furry one! My background, combined with traits like patience, organization, and strong communication skills, makes me well-suited to care for your furry one. I’m passionate about creating a positive environment and always approach my responsibilities with dedication and enthusiasm.

About: I've been dog sitting since covid; things have changed but not the love for animals. Since my start I've dog sat for a wide varity of dogs. Puppies, oldies, big, small. Some requiring a lot of attention to help distract them, some that just sit by the door waiting for their pawrents to come home. From medications to special diets, specific schedules and give attention if you have the extra time. I will treat your dog as my own! Something you can count on is they will be loved and well taken care of. Pet care is my top priority. Making sure they are fed on time and they get plenty of play time and walks while you are gone. I do currently work but my schedule is constantly changing so I have a lot of freedom to change it as needed. I unfortunately can't accept pets into my home as I don't currently live alone. But I'm more than willing to stay over whenever you need me to.

Jenni was a great choice to watch our fur baby overnight because of a last minute trip my partner & I had to take for a funeral. Due to our unexpected time constraint beforehand, she came over the same day of the booking and met our dog Hank & learned his routine. While we were away, she sent lots of pictures & gave us updates every so often so we were always in the know. We would definitely have Jenni watch Hank again in the future and highly recommend her for the pet sitting needs of other folks too!

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.

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.

On top of being super attentive and caring for our dog, Andrew did a great job dealing with adversity that arose while we were on an overseas trip. Our refrigerator promptly quit working and he coordinated with a neighbor to save the contents. On top of that, our dog got sick and he handled all of the unfortunate aspects that go along with that. Fair to say he went above and beyond. He was very communicative, so I always felt like I knew what was going on. And when I returned, the house looked great and our dog was very calm.

She was incredibly professional and kind. Did everything we asked and put up with our pain in the butt for 4 days with no complaints. Left the house as clean (if not cleaner) than she found it. Communicative throughout the process. She's at the top of our list!
