House Sitting Piney Knolls

“We love Janet! I seriously don't trust my animals with anyone else. She has so much expertise and can handle any temperament/put any dog or cat at ease. Both my fur kids love her. It is such a relief when out of town to know they will be safe with her.”

Kate J.

“Meghan did a great job with my dog and cat for a weekend stay. Took awesome care of the house and the animals are happy. Would highly recommend.”

Matt B.

“Best house and dog sitter yet! Plenty of updates, communication, photos and videos. Jordan took great care of Jet, giving him plenty of activity and affection, and our home as well. Will absolutely work with her again.”

Sam P.

“The other reviews are correct Andrew is amazing! He took care of my pup while I was away but also took care of my home like it was his own. He sent updates with pictures and his communication was simply great. I'm so happy I found someone who I can trust to look after my dog and home while I'm away. I cannot say enough good things about Andrew and I will be booking him a few more times this year. Thank you Andrew!”

Chris M.

“Amazing and sends lots of pictures! My Cola loved her !”

April E.

“Cat is amazing! We were anxious to leave our three dogs for the first time, but she made us feel totally secure. She sent photos and updates multiple times each day and made sure to make us feel comfortable. Our dogs seemed content & happy when we got home, and Cat left us a sweet note with Polaroids of each of our dogs from her time with them. She will be our go-to dog sitter from now on, we can’t recommend her enough!”

Katie R.

“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 have two dogs of my own one of which I trained to be my personal service dog. My second dog we originally were fostering and we adopted her because she fit into our family perfectly and became our other pups best friend. I actively foster puppies and kittens. I’ve done crate training and all the potty scaries with puppies. I’m extremely patient with them and try to meet each dog where they are at. I have experience giving medications to pets as one of my cats has to have daily oral medication. I love my pets and would treat yours as if they were my own 🖤 I have a very flexible schedule and I’m on the road and I have free time during the day and evenings where I am able to fit pet care-sitting into my schedule. I’m a very attentive pet parent myself and don’t typically leave my own dog unattended outside in the yard and I try to be very interactive and engage so they can play. I have 3 cats and enjoy playing with them and spending time with them so they feel cared for.

“Emily did a fantastic job caring for our critters and home while we were away. She provided daily updates, photos, and even a video or two. We really appreciated her good communication and reliability. Thanks for a great experience!”

Mica L.

“Daniel is great. He is prompt, and conscientious of others property and animals. He asked good questions at the meet and greet. He stayed with Morty for 3 nights at my apartment and both the apartment and Morty were in great shape when I returned. Daniel sent pictures and messages about how Morty was doing. He also let me know when Morty went counter surfing and got some of his treats. I appreciate Daniel's communication and thoroughness. I will most definitely use Daniel again, in fact he's staying with Morty again this weekend!”

Joe W.

“Kiara was great with our two dogs! She kept us updated the entire time we were away, which really helped our peace of mind. Kiara even left our house cleaner than it was when we left! Having someone take care of your pets in their own environment is really a game changer. We’ve already booked her again for next month.”

Melanie A.

“Celeste was great! They house sat for me and took care for my cats, sent me pictures and made sure they got attention, fed, and cleaned the litter box. Would definitely recommend them!”

Samantha S.

“my dogs loved Collette and were happy and healthy when I came home. My home was left when she left as it was when I left for my trip, which means a great deal to me. Highly recommend.”

Theresa M.

“Mark is everything you could possibly want to take care of your pets. He is kind, responsible, communicative, knowledgeable, and seems to really care for the pets.”

Sandi K.

“Janini did a fantastic job house sitting for our puppy while we were on vacation. Her communication was excellent and felt we were in good hands the whole time. She was great with sending updates, pictures and videos which gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend her to watch your furry friends.”

Zach R.

“Thank you Marissa! Figgy was well cared for and were so thankful to be able to leave her at home instead of at a kennel. Marissa left the house spotless and was extremely flexible when our plans changed.”

Leah T.

“Sierra was very communicative and great with our cats! She was even able to get our older cat to take his medications. She left our house in great condition- definitely recommend”

Bethany F.

“Sara was a lovely sitter! She was extremely communicative and sent lots of photos. We felt so comfortable with her watching our pup in our home while we were gone and we could truly trust our dog was in good hands. We came home to a spotless house! She’s going to be our new go-to. Thank you so much Sara!”

About: I have had at least one dog all of my life. Often times more than one. Currently living with just one Lab who would love a visitor/playmate. I foster emergency overnights on rescue transports. I have been a caregiver for dogs of all ages and kinds; puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with separation anxiety. I have grandcats I house sit for and have also taken care of chickens. I work from home with tons of flexibility. I have one adult child at home in graduate school, they have a health condition which keeps them home most days too, so your pet is never short of human companionship. I live in a great neighborhood for walks on a leash. I provide dog sitting in a one story home with a large, wooded fenced yard in central Richmond neighborhood. Great for dogs of all ages and abilities. I live with one Lab that's a large couch potato. He also likes his human to sit outside with him rather than be out there all by himself. So we spend lots of time outside together. Pets are permitted on furniture and the bed, whatever makes them feel at home. I do have a large dog crate that can be set up if needed, but only if requested as it will put your pet at ease. The most important factor is making sure your pet feels comfortable, keeping their routines and habits to lessen the stress of a new place.

“Virginia is awesome! She took such good care of our pup. She went above and beyond, sent us so many awesome pictures and videos, played with him, and took him on long walks. He had a great time. We feel so lucky, best pet sitter we've ever had!! Thank you, Virginia!”
