Cate was so awesome with Opal. We had lots of updates and photos of all their adventures and cuddles together. We will absolutely be working with her again if we’re lucky!

Mairany took good care of my two poodles! I think they miss her today! She was very conscientious, even watered my plants and fed my bird. And, exercised the dogs, took them for walks and sent me funny pictures. I would love to have her back when we need a pet sitter!

Natalie is nothing short of amazing. She really does treat your pet like it’s her own. She stayed at our home with our 1 year old golden retriever who is FULL of energy and I never felt like he was stuck in the house or bored. He seemed comfortable and happy based on the photos she sent us! I want to gate keep her all to myself but 10000/10 recommend to all pet owners!

Ross was wonderful with our very anxious pup. He was great communicator and sent pictures each day. We could hardly tell someone had stayed in our house, he had such a light touch! Highly recommend!

Chris did an amazing job taking care of my dog Samson while I was away. She kept him on his schedule, sent updates, and gave him lots of love! She loves the animals that she's taking care of like they are her own. We really appreciate her and will be booking her again!

Annalise took such great care of my pups. Let me be clear - there were four prep meetings leading up to her actual stay because of how challenging/anxiety-ridden my dogs can be. She has been patient, understanding, and willing to work with them where they are at. Throughout my five-day trip, I received ample photos and videos which I loved. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were getting tons of snuggles, their meals on time, and lots of outside time. All in all, I came home to happy pups and I'm so grateful. I've already booked with Annalise again! Highly recommend!

Carleigh saved the day and was able to help on a last minute stay. She was prompt, polite, communicative and left the house in great shape. Most importantly our pets were safe and happy. I'll definitely use her again!

About: I’ve been around pets for most of my life. Starting when I would take care of my family fishes when I was younger. Then, later, with our family dog, a tiny Maltese named Lucy! As of late, I’ve spent my time watching over my friends’ two kitties, as well as helping them with their dog sits when they need an extra hand! I am currently a full-time student at JMU. I have plenty of availability during the summer, and when the school year begins, weekday nights, and weekends! By being friendly and gentle, I hope to create a safe and fun atmosphere for your pet(s)! I am communicative and reliable, and will always make sure to give you updates and photos, so you can see how your pets are doing when you are away!

Mary has watched Bella for us twice now with additional weeks booked! She is absolutely wonderful with her and I am updated daily (multiple times a day!) about how she is doing! She treats her like one of her own and makes it much easier to leave Bella! I would highly recommend Mary!!

Brianna did a great job! She was updating us with pictures all the time. The animals were so happy and well taken care of. She took great care of our house too. We will definitely ask her to house sit again! Glad we found her so last minute.

Julia was such a great dog sitter for my dog. He’s used to me being around 24/7 so I’m always worried about leaving him home alone. She took great care of him and put up with all his weird quirks and routines.

House was in great shape, Porter was happy to see me but not frantic (a sign that he’s had plenty of attention).
