“Morgan is my go-to girl! She always takes great care of my Milo. She problem solves when needed and always keeps me in the loop. She’s reliable, amiable, and kind. 10/10!”


“Spent time with my cats while I was on vacation. Did an awesome job keeping them company and playing with them! I know my cats were happy to have someone stop in”


“Karmy was a great sitter for my cat! Always there on time and keeping me updated with what’s going on, will definitely book her in the future!”


“So appreciative of the great care Morgan takes of our Lab, Maggie! We are having a heatwave at the moment, and Morgan thoughtfully modifies Maggie’s walks as needed to take advantage of the cooler parts of the day and finds ways to play indoors when it’s really hot. Maggie clearly loves Morgan’s visits—pictures are awesome!”


“Kat dis a drop-in with my five dogs without a ton of notice and knocked it lit of the park! The dogs seemed to be over the moon in the pictures she sent me, and all the pups were happy as could be when I got back. Thank you so much, Kay!”


About: My love for animals has always gone hand-in-hand with educated, engaging pet care. This dates back to writing my own blog posts about different dog breeds at only 9 years old! Throughout my life, I have had consistent experience owning and pet sitting small to medium sized dogs, ranging from puppies to seniors. Additionally, I have 12+ years of equestrian experience. Between dog and horse care, I am comfortable working around nervous animals. For the last 2 years, I have gained experience in caring for cats varying in size, needs, and personalities. Now, I have kittens at home, a bonded pair of brothers, that we rescued from a storm drain in a fast food parking lot! I have a flexible, telework schedule that makes me uniquely available to accommodate your pet needs! If desired for me to stay for an extended period of time throughout the day, I am happy to bring my laptop to work in between keeping your pets entertained. I always hope to build trust and make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible! I am familiar working with animals that have anxiety or are generally nervous around strangers; therefore, I keep my body language and movement in mind and stay talkative to ease your pet's stress. I understand many pet owners have cameras, and I am happy to work in those environments as well. Additionally, I am beyond happy to send as many pictures, videos, or updates as desired. I have repeatedly been trusted with keys or lock codes, and am happy to work with you based on your comfort levels!

“Eyowyn was great! She watched our kitties for 4 days and provided them with much needed care. She asked the right questions and I would definitely recommend her.”


“Lydia takes such great care of Charlotte. She is attentive and provides daily updates and photos. I always have peace of mind when she is caring for Charlotte.”


“Amazing pet sitter. They really made an effort to bond with our skittish dog and had made a friend by the end of the last visit. Definitely would book them again!”


About: While my last 10 years of employment have been in the schools and therapy centers, I have been caring for animals since I was about 10 years old. I grew up volunteering at dog training facilities and learning “tricks of the trade”. As a former cat owner and current dog owner, I am a firm believer that pets are a vital family member and deserve all the love and care that humans do (sometimes more). I have currently taken time off from being a full time school administrator to focus on my family. While my children are in school and activities, I am looking to spend time with animals and help others keep their pets well-taken care of while they may be away or working. I treat each pet as if they were my own, and perhaps even better than because I know the peace of mind it brings knowing they are cared for and loved. It is important to me that their emotional and physical needs are met, however best suits them and their owners.

About: As a sitter, I stand out by offering personalized, attentive care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I have experience in puppy traning, helping young dogs learn basic commands and proper behavior. I also have experience with walking big dogs and small dogs. I've had a dog my whole life who I have trained. My calm demeanor, attention to detail, and commitment to creating a safe, happy environment make me a reliable choice for any pet, no matter their age or special requirements. Additionally, I prioritize clear communication with pet owners, providing regular updates and photos so you can feel connected while you're away. I'm a full-time student, but I take dog-sitting seriously and I'm avaliable Thursday-Sunday to dog sit. I make sure to make time for walks, play, and feeding. I ensure pets receive regular exercise and attention, which helps maintain their health and happiness. If, needed I can incorporate short trianing sessions to reinforce good behavior and build a strong bond. I adapt my routine based on the needs of the pets I care for, whether it’s more frequent potty breaks for young pups or gentle walks for senior dogs. I provide a pet-friendly space, free from hazards, with plenty of room to play and rest. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and bathroom breaks, ensuring your pet feels secure. Playtime and affection are central, so pets get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. For pets with special needs or medications, I follow detailed instructions to ensure their health is top priority. I respect your home and your pet’s established routine, making sure they remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I bring my own pet-sitting essentials but ensure all of your pet's favorite toys, bedding, and treats are used. I provide updates, photos, and videos so you can stay connected with your pet while you're away.

About: I've had experience with my own pets since I was 10 years old, and I have walked dogs and house sat occasionally as well. I raised and trained my cat from when he was a kitten and my dog from the moment he was born. I love animals, and I'm excited to work with yours! I'm looking for this to be my full time job, so I am available whenever you need me! I'm willing to visit/walk early mornings, late nights, and on weekends. For home visits, I am experienced with feeding, walking, and playing with pets. I am great at following instructions precisely, and I will stick to your pet's usual routine!

“Nicole went above and beyond to care for our elderly cat while we were gone for a month! Would highly recommend her to care for your pet and would definitely ask her to help us with ours again!”


“Abigail was super great with our two dogs! They are both high energy and can be a lot at times. She was very patient and took excellent care of them, going above and beyond to make sure they had what they needed while we were away.”


About: I grew up on a farm taking care of animals and love them dearly! I have experience with anything from small or large animals. From large dogs to small animals to farm animals! I am a full time employee but would love to care for your pet’s anytime after 5pm M-F! I am available anytime on the weekends! I have a spacious house with lots of room for your animal to explore! I also have a Corgi and two cats to keep your fur baby company!

About: I've owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, from raising litters of puppies to nursing sick kittens back to health. I’ve trained working ranch dogs, cared for senior pets, and managed special diets. I work from home, so your pet gets my full attention. Whether it’s playtime, walks, meals, or cuddles, their needs come first, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I provide loving, attentive pet care in my home or yours, following routines, ensuring proper nutrition, exercise, and comfort. Whether it's walks, playtime, or special needs, I treat them like family.

About: I have decades of animal care experience, working with cats, dogs, and multiple other species. I currently own and operate a rabbitry. I have worked at multiple dog kennels, including free run facilities, and have worked at the SPCA and the Virginia zoo in Norfolk, Virginia. Let me know what your needs are, and we will see if I can accommodate your needs, as my schedule is very open and flexible. My pet care is very custom tailored to your needs and your pet’s needs, let me know what you need and what your pet prefers. I have 4 dogs that stay exclusively in the back part of the home and have access to the backyard. Doggies I am sitting stay exclusively in the front part of the home and have access to the front yard, so there is non interaction between my dogs. My dogs are friendly with other dogs but this arrangement just makes it easier and more comfortable for yours = )

After spending all her life growing up with a dog and a cat here and there, she has become a very special and kind person who cares deeply about the care of animals of all kinds.
