“Emily was absolutely wonderful with our 2 senior kitties! She sent lots of pics and was an excellent communicator with us throughout our stay. She treated our home with respect and care and did an amazing job getting everything in place before we came home. Don’t hesitate to book Emily for your pets, she is a gem!”
“Shan was seriously amazing. She went above and beyond when there was an emergency with our pipes leaking and she took such great care of our dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate one bit to have her as a sitter again. Thank you Shan!”
“As always, Gena was incredible. We were out of the country for almost 2 full weeks, and came home to a perfect home and the happiest fur babies. We feel so at peace leaving our pets and our home with Gena. ❤️”
“Steve is awesome! We are always nervous about taking on new sitters for our quirky bunch but Steve made us and them feel at ease right away. During his stay he was super communicative, sending regular status updates and pictures. As a houseguest he was very respectful, keeping up with the mail and making sure to leave the place as he found it. We will definitely have Steve and/or Wanda back!”
“Machalah has been a consistent overnight sitter for my pup for several months! He loves spending time with her and I love the peace of mind knowing he is well cared for. She is communicative, sends photos, and has been comfortable talking through his health needs - including giving medications! We look forward to continuing to have Machalah as a pet sitter!”
“Haley was easy to communicate with and reassured this nervous fur mama throughout my trip. She asked great questions and kept me informed about small snags so I could be reassured my pets were in great hands. One of my pups needs daily meds and she was undaunted by the task. Loved receiving photos and updates. Thanks, Haley!”
About: I have several years of experience with both dogs and cats. The largest dog I've handled was 120 lbs. I'm down to cuddle or go on a walk, whatever your pet needs. I am a college student so I am flexible daily and can come by your house when needed. I am free on weekends and most weeknights. I would love if you can give me specifics on your pet's routine and any behavior I should know about. I have some experience with oral medication if your pet ever needs it.
“I’m really happy with Elizabeth’s communication - always clear, accommodating, and friendly. Both our dogs looked happy, relaxed, and pampered in all the photo updates. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Kevin did a great job taking care of our sweet pup. He stayed at our house with her while we were away and sent tons of pictures to keep us updated. We would absolutely use him again.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m the kind of person who immediately gravitates toward the family pet at gatherings. I have hands-on experience caring for pets with a variety of needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, giving basic medications, snuggles, and cleaning up accidents so that you and your pet feel taken care of while you're away! I work a 40-hour, Monday through Friday (8-5) job that allows hour-long breaks to pop in during the day and take care of your pet. After-work, weekends, and bank holidays, I'm generally free to spend hours playing, snuggling, or just keeping your pet company. I'm happy to meet up beforehand to see if your pet and I are a good match. I'm happy to follow any instructions or preferences on their care to keep their routines and make everyone feel as safe as possible. I love sending notes and photo updates so you can feel connected!
“We had an amazing experience with Hannah. as our dog sitter! Hannah stayed at our home and took exceptional care of both our fur baby, Murphy and our house. Hannah kept Murphy happy with plenty of cuddles and love, and even sent us adorable photo updates to ease our minds while we were away. Our home was spotless and well-maintained when we returned, showing their respect and responsibility. Hannah is reliable, communicative, and truly cares for animals and their clients’ homes. We’ll definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter! Thank you so much Hannah for your patience with all my instructions.”
About: I have been raised to care for pets. My entire life my family has had Labs, and I have grown to love them so very much. I also have experience with Cats, Ferrets, and now I have my own Bunny! I am on summer break from Roanoke College so I am free anytime to care for furry friends! Whatever their needs are, I am there! In my house, each of my pets have their own litter boxes, water/food bowls, and my bunny has her own room. I devote hours each day to provide enrichment to each of my pets. I would do the same with my clients pets!
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. Ranging from fish and turtles to cats and dogs. I will love and care for your fur baby as if it is my own! 💕🐾 I recently graduated from college and will soon work full-time hours during the week. Even with my schedule, I’m dependable, responsive, and able to provide consistent care and attention for your pets. I genuinely enjoy animal care and always aim to keep pets comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have previously worked as a baby sitter so my childcare experience has prepped me for safe and proper conditions within both my clients and my own home
“Julia did an amazing job! My pets immediately loved her and she took great care of them while I was gone for a week. My house was super clean when I got back too. 5/5 would rebook again! :)”
“Lexi was great! She stayed at my house with my pups and gave them all kinds of snuggles and love and sent me pictures and messages as updates. She left the house as she found it. I’d definitely recommend Lexi to take care of your pets!”

Amelia was wonderful. She took great care of our dog in our home, kept us updated, and shared pictures throughout the stay. Sam looked happy and content, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Amelia and would gladly book with her again!
We were so happy with the care Stephanie provided for our two high-energy dogs, who also have a bit of separation anxiety. They felt comfortable with her right away, which gave us great peace of mind. This was our first time leaving them with a pet sitter, and we couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. When we returned, our dogs were excited to see us but also calm, happy, and content, a clear sign that they had been well cared for. Stephanie sent daily updates and photos, which we really appreciated, and her communication throughout was excellent. She also left our home in great condition. We would absolutely trust Stephanie with our dogs (and house) again and highly recommend her to others!
We feel so at-ease leaving our pets and home with Justine! Our anxious dog has grown to absolutely love her and it makes our trips so much more enjoyable knowing that she is with him! I can trust her to follow directions we’ve left- which makes being away super easy.
I highly recommend Lucy as a dog sitter. She is experienced with senior dogs and can be relied upon to administer injectable and oral medications on schedule. She is very responsive and follows directions well. We arrived home to our very happy and well taken care of spoiled chihuahua.
We have recently relocated and were in need of in home pet care for our 11 year old golden doodle. Steve and Wanda came over for a meet and greet and we immediately felt comfortable with their calming presence and obvious love of dogs. In between the meet and greet and the scheduled pet care, our doodle tore her ACL and required surgery. She was 3 weeks post op at the time of the scheduled in home care and Steve and Wanda followed the post op instructions and provided safe care to our pup. We received updates and pictures several times throughout the day. They made us feel comfortable leaving her in their care so soon after a surgical procedure. They were also respectful of our home, they left it in excellent condition. We would very much recommend Steve and Wanda if you are looking for safe and loving care of your fur baby (and home).
Jessica was patient and caring while housesitting for our rescue pup, who has lots of anxiety. She minimized stress as much as possible, taking her cues from our dog. We felt relieved and were able to enjoy our trip knowing that Jessica was making sure our pup was safe and cared for.
Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at our home and took incredible care of our two fur babies. The house was kept in immaculate condition, and we could tell our pets were well-loved and comfortable while we were away. She sent us great updates and photos throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was also extremely accommodating when my flights were delayed and cancelled. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—highly recommend!
Oscar and Elmo said they really liked Aelish. They said she was very accommodating, took good care of them, fed them and snuggled with him. They were very happy with her services and want to use her again in the future. I was also happy with her services and with the way she stayed in communication. This let me know everything was going well.
