“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.”
“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!”
“Crystal and Jadon were wonderful with Max and Lucy! They took great care of our babies and kept up informed! I know the pups were well cared for and got a ton of love and attention and I couldn’t have asked for more!”
About: I have cared for friends and family dogs. I think they can tell when you like them. I’ve always been able to connect with dogs. I’m retired. I was an LPN for 30yrs. I have lots of free time to care for your dog. I definitely can give them meds.😊 If you have fenced yard. I’d play with them clean up and check on them often and bring them in and make sure gates are secure.
“Jon and Leonarda took excellent care of my 2 young, active dogs. It’s so great to know my fur kids are having a great time if I am unable to bring them along while traveling. I will absolutely book them again and highly recommend them.”
“Katie was absolutely amazing. Our retriever was quite anxious about us leaving, and she quickly calmed him. He was great with her. Both of the pups were happy and behaved as though we never left. We will definitely be reaching out again!”
“This is the second time we had Tessa come and stay in our home while we were away. She took great care of our animals and was respectful of our home. I won’t hesitate to book her again for a long trip.”
“Pam did a excellent job pet sitting our April Ann and housing sitting for us. April Ann loves Pam and is very comfortable with her. Pam did everything we asked and more. We will be using her again!”

About: Life is Good with pets! I have been providing professional pet care services for dogs for over 5 years. I have always had different dogs in my life from childhood to adulthood. I’ve seen how happy my own pet is from taking him on regular walks and I am excited to provide this same experience for other pets. I have a large, fenced yard in a semi-rural neighborhood, and I enjoy taking dogs on nice long walks. Pets are allowed on furniture to snuggle and I am also happy to crate train pets, if preferred. I am currently working from home, so I have most of my time to give attention and love to your pet. I am happy to provide these services at all times. I have plenty space and a fenced yard for your pet to play or simple go on potty breaks, if needed. The services requested will be depending on the customers offer :)
About: I've been surrounded by furry friends my whole life. Chores in my early life included taking care of my childhood cats and dogs. I also have experience raising a litter of pups and caring for senior dogs with special needs. After college, I began raising my own dog, Birdie. My dog and I love adventuring outside in the woods and I am on a mission to visit 12 National Parks with her during her lifetime. Whether it's park romps, creek runs, or nail trims, I'm a pro at keeping dog companions happy and healthy. I'm currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of availability in July, August, and September 2025. I will keep my profile updated with my availablility. I am available for house sitting, as well as early morning (before 8a), midday (11a-1p), or evening (after 4p) visits. Please reach out for scheudling Winter Holiday pet care. My daily routine starts with letting the dog out to use the restroom, then she gets fed, and then I start my day. We walk at least once a day and we try and get to the local park as often as we can (because smells in the neighborhood get boring). My nightly routine consists of letting the dog out one more time (just in case), then brushing my teeth and tucking myself into bed beside the dog, who usually gets her own pillow. Boarding services can be offered with my current living situation, however, two cats will be present (both have lived with dogs their whole life), along with my dog (she is quite friendly and loves to play keep-away with other furry friends). The yard is large and unfenced with a huge amount of woods out back. There is an outdoor kennel with a doghouse. My dog hates it but yours might like it. I have plenty of experience walking two dogs at once, so no problem taking Birdie and your dog on a walk together.
About: I grew up taking care of all kinds of animals including chickens, goats, cows, pigs, and of course cats and dogs. I’ve independently cared for animals since I can remember! I am a student at Virginia Tech with a pretty flexible schedule. I have time in between my classes to be able to let your animals outside or just spend time with them! Because I live in an apartment, I unfortunately cannot house animals with me in my home. However, I am happy to take them on walks and hang out with them at their home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12 years old. I grew up in a neighborhood so it wasn’t hard to find people who needed pet care. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me for overnight, boarding, walking and feeding. I am not currently working full time so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. It will switch to evenings and weekends once I start work again. Neighbors have always trusted me to be in their homes and with their pets. I have watched them for weeks at a time so this required being unsupervised with access to the property
“Erin was fantastic with our 80 lb. ruffian rescue for a week. She took great care of him, played a lot and took him to a dog park for some running time. We would definitely have her take care of him again.”
About: I have haloed my grandma with her dog Marlee since the day we got her , I will care for her when my grandma is out of town or I’ll go get her for a weekend .
