“Scott is absolutely great - and our beagle loves going over there to hangout with their kids. We’ve only used them for daycare so far, but it’s great to know she’s happy and safe!”



“Esteisy was amazing with our dog all week! She has a super spacious yard that our older dog loved rolling and playing in. She met up every morning and afternoon on time during drop off and pick up. She was very responsive with communication and sent us a report card with pictures and daily activities! We would definitely book with her again!”



“Stephanie help us out super last-minute at our stay in Williamsburg. She quickly responded and was very accommodating. River was happy to spend the day with her and the other dogs. He was able to go on a walk and relax in a comfortable home. We were updated throughout the day with pictures. We felt very comfortable leaving River in Stephanie's care and we're very appreciative of her last-minute ability to watch him. We would use her again and highly recommend. Thanks Stephanie!”


“While I was visiting my brother and his family in Williamsburg, Christene was so wonderful with helping watch my pup Riley while we went out to explore for the day! She was super responsive and her schedule was very flexible. Riley’s a bit of an anxious and skittish doggo but he warmed up to Christene and her family quickly!! I’m so thankful I found Christene to watch Riley. It’s always nerve wracking leaving Riley with someone new, but she gave me a lot of updates and reassurance he was acclimating well!! Her doggo is also the cutest so that’s a huge plus! Highly recommend and I’ll be reaching out again when we visit again!”


“Jarin was a life saver when our other pet sitter cancelled at the last minute! She took wonderful care of our boy! He had a great time playing with Jenji, and Jarin kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos. Highly recommend!”


“Victor and Abigail were awesome and took extra steps to make sure our anxious pup had a great time. They sent us videos and pictures every day, which we really appreciated. After his first day in daycare, my dog was very excited to return on the following days. He seemed to really like the folks who took care of him and was nice and tired once I picked him up. Staying with these folks was definitely a mini vacation for my dog!”


“This family takes great care of our pup. When I pulled into the drive and Rosy recognized where we were, she was super excited! They love her and Rosy loves them right back!”

About: Hello! My name is Zach, I have two dogs and two cats of my own and have grown up with no less than four pets at any given time. Often when I meet people's furry companions I'm told they warm up to me faster than normal and even some times for the first time, so I'm open to try to care for almost any pet! Responsiveness, honesty, and genuine care should be expected from a pet sitter - let me know if I can help! My partner and I work from home so we're available and flexible throughout the week for all pet care services. Just let us know when and we can try to make it work! I have a big but unfenced yard, two sweet begal-hound mix brothers (one is energetic, the other lazy) and two sweet and playful cat sisters. It's a cozy and fun home environment. All the animals get plenty of attention (we love to play) and the dogs are let out consistently throughout the day. I can crate if needed, follow any special instructions, and we have a spare room if space is needed. Your pet will be treated as our own, just let us know!

About: I’ve taken care of the dogs in my neighborhood since I was 11. I’ve dogsat for neighbors and walked dogs before. Most of my family has dogs so when they go out of town I watch their pets. I train for soccer every morning, so dog walking is a great way for me to stay active and keep my legs stretched and warm. I have a super flexible schedule outside of my morning training! I will mainly be walking dogs and will make sure they are hydrated, are able to do their business, and enjoy their time out in the sun and nature! If I am dog sitting in your home I will make sure the dog feels comfortable in his home and that everything is in order when I arrive and leave!

About: My family and friends call me the dog whisperer because I instantly form a special bond with every pup that I meet and care for! My current work schedule allows me the flexibility to be available for walks and potty breaks Monday through Friday 10AM- 2PM. The weekends are based on need. For care in my home I have a 10 year old mixed breed peek-a-poo. He gets along very well with other non aggressive male and female dogs. He is can be shy around other dogs but not aggressive. He loves children. I have 2 children ages 9 & 6. Our yard is not fenced in so we take our dog out for walks for his potty breaks


About: "Whoever said diamonds are a girl's best friend...never owned a dog" I live in a townhouse in Williamsburg with husband, our 1 year old daughter and our puppy, Korben. Dog sitting is a full family experience in our home, both our daughter and puppy love it when we have house guests. In fact our daughter’s first word was “doggie”, so it’s very important that dogs that come into our home do well with children as much as they do well with other dogs. While we don’t have a fenced in yard we make up for it with a walking path in the neighborhood and many other walking trails close by, we generally go on two walks a day, weather permitting. I've been sitting for my friends and family for as long as I can remember. So if your looking for a place where your dog will be well cared for and have a lot of fun in the process, look no further. Please don't hesitate to e-mail me with further questions, I want you to feel comfortable when you leave your dog with me while you are out of town. I work mostly from home so your pup will have the hands on attention they deserve! We offer ample love and attention through walks and belly rubs. There are occasions I will need to leave the house for work, but I’m usually not gone more than an hour or so. In those instances we’ll recreate what you do with your pup when leave your home. I really try to mimic your routine at home as best as possible. I know that coming to a new home can be stressful for the pup so I try to ease that transition by sticking to your routine as best I can.

About: I was raised with inside and outside dogs, I have years of experience with all ages of dogs, from newborns to my current rescue senior dog. I have a big backyard for plenty of walking and playing, a quiet neighborhood setting as well for lengthier walks. My senior dog is extremely calm and loves all dogs of all sizes. My young pup is well socialized and energetic to play with your pup for hours. My home will come with approved treats, I currently keep milkbones and dentasticks on hand, I am a rawhide free home due to its choking hazards. I have a work from home job, I am home all day 4 days of the week at minimum. Even on my “off days” I am generally gone no longer than about 4 hours. I have a long rope leash for play, a backyard that isn’t fenced but is more so “closed off” to neighbors. I have sturdy baby gates to section off my home to give dogs space for “alone” time away from my dogs if they need it.

About: I’ve had dogs on and off my entire life. For the last 12 years our family has rescued/adopted 11 dogs. I have kept family and friends' dogs while they vacation as well as done drop ins at their home for walks, feeding and cuddling. I have also taken care of goats and chickens. I will treat your pets how I would want someone to treat mine. I am comfortable around all size and breeds of dogs and cats as well as goats and chickens. I am self employed and have a very flexible schedule. I am available almost any time, including nights and weekends. Most schedules can be accommodated. I have 5 acres which about 1/2 acre is fenced in with 6-foot fencing. I can snuggle your dog on the couch or crate them if they feel more comfortable like that. I have my own personal dogs but keep them separate from other people's pets. If you leave directions of what your pets routine in your home is like I can provide for them in that manner.

Brook C.
“Brook took care of my pups as if they were her own. It’s hard to find a real dog lover nowadays. Everyone else we’ve worked with seems to just focus on allotted time frames and visits that are convenient for the sitter. Brook truly cared for our dogs and interacts with them as I imagine she would with her own. Lots of love, attention, and playtime.”

Shalynn P.

“My dog came back from a weekend with Shalynn and he was sad to be home. He just laid around and moped (which he normally does when company leaves so I know how to recognize it). I consider that a huge win for the perfect pet sitter. My Lance is definitely missing Shalynn and his new playmate Chloe. Shalynn was great with sending me pictures and keeping me updated on their adventures at the dog park, during their walks, and puppy bonding inside. I see why my puppy missed both of them. She was the perfect sitter for us and I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area. Thank you for letting me know my puppy was in great hands and for giving him lots of love while we were away.”
