“Emily is very responsible, she drove from far away and even with the bad traffic she managed to make it to take care of Hazel. She treated my little girl with love and care, she did everything that I asked of her. She also sent me pictures and videos while I was away. Hazel loved her! I highly recommend her to take care of your pet.”
“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.”
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 absolutely love animals and would consider it an honor to care for your furry family members when the need arises. I worked as a part-time pet and house sitter for 3 plus years in Northern Virginia and only stopped when I moved to Stephens City. I am looking forward starting up again to earn a little extra income. I am experienced in house sitting as well. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
“Megan is an absolute treasure!! And that’s with a T not a P. Although she was also a pleasure to work with she is one of the most capable, friendly, caring, conscientious, pet sitters I have ever met. I will definitely use her again. I say treasure because she’s the sitter I would want again and again and again. 10/10 🥰🥰”
“We can’t recommend Sara enough! She recently cared for our two dogs, Frankie and Lulu, as well as our fish, and went above and beyond by making sure the bird feeder was stocked for the wild birds. Her attentiveness and thoughtfulness were evident from day one. She sent us daily updates and plenty of pictures of Frankie and Lulu, which kept us reassured and connected while we were away. It was clear Sara treated our home and pets as if they were her own. Frankie and Lulu were happy and relaxed when we returned, and everything in the house was spotless. Knowing our pets were in such good hands made our time away completely stress-free. We’re so grateful for Sara and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”
