“Kaitlyn did a good job with our boy Zeus, our overactive 2yr old Doberman! We would recommend her service for pet sitting!”


“Ariel was amazing. We would absolutely have her spend time with our crazy girls again. She shared photos and texted me to let me know how everything was going. I was able to relax and spend time on a vacation knowing our dogs were well cared for.”


“Sydney provided wonderful care for my two kitties while I was away on a 2-week trip. I chose overnight care at my home and the kitties warmed up to her and had lots of snuggles, petting, and playtime. Sydney kept me up-to-date with texts and photos. I would recommend Sydney to anyone looking for quality, responsible care of their furry loved ones!! She spent lots of quality time with each kitty and their preferred pastimes - one kitty like to sit and nap on one’s lap and the other kitty like to be held and carried around - both require lots of time and patience!”


“Five stars isn’t enough!!! Neomi is THE BEST! She stayed in my home with my dog, Miracle. She made sure she had my dogs schedule down before my trip started. She showed up when she said she would and was here when she said she would be here. She’s so caring and responsible. I got daily updates and pictures. When I returned home, Miracle was happy and relaxed and my house was spotless. I couldn’t ask for a better person to care for my fur baby I will definitely be a repeat customer.”


About: I’ve dog-sat for families, stayed overnight in their homes, and taken dogs on long walks. I’m reliable, nurturing, and animals naturally feel safe around me. I also take excellent care of my own cat, Willow, feeding her a raw diet and paying close attention to her emotional and physical needs. Willow travels with me wherever I go and is well-behaved and calm in new environments—so I can only accept sits where she is welcome to stay with me. Pet care isn’t just a task to me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I’m flexible and available most days of the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I like building a rhythm with each pet and can adapt to your schedule easily. I care for pets as if they’re my own—respectfully and attentively. I follow your routines closely, keep their space clean and calm, and make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved. Whether in your home or mine, I create a peaceful environment they can trust.

“Hanna was great. She took great care of my older dog. I highly recommend her.”


“Janine was amazing watching our pets while we were away for a few days. Severus is a large dog and we trusted Janine to take him out for walks and to care for him. Our cat was very playful and rambunctious and she kept him entertained. We were able to rest assured on our trip that the animals were in good hands during their first weekend without us. Thank you, Janine!”


“Great sitter took great care of my 4 dogs❤️”

“Danielle was GREAT! She kept us in the loop with lots of photos/texts while we were away. We felt very comfortable entrusting her with our animals and having her stay in our house while we were gone.”

About: I’ve grown up with pets at home for the last 17 years. My extended family all have had dogs my entire life varying from Rottweilers, dachshunds, German shepherds and yorkies. I’ve walked, dog sat, bathed, taken care of for both short and extended periods of time for family and friends for about 10 years. I’ve recently moved to Virginia with some family and although not “technically” mine, currently with an extra 4 Maltese and 1 mastiff I set my own hours with my day job. Because of that, I set the same hours on a weekly basis to minimize any confusion. My parents currently have a dog who is very anxious and easily scared so from my personal experience, I’m great with making sure a dog feels more than comfortable with me. I allow them to sniff my hand and/or anything else including shoes, pants, shirt, whatever they need to feel comfortable. Trust with a dog is built over time and I will never force you for baby to go with me if they don’t feel safe.

Angela D.
“Angela is awesome!! I live with my father and sister, and we had a great big farm dog, named Cookie. Life has caught up to the family, so we haven't had as much time to tend to the dog. When we got Angela to help take care of Cookie, she went above and beyond. Not only did she feed and walk her, but she gave her food and played with her as well. Angela is a very caring, playful, and loving person, and even more so when it comes to her love for animals! My family was trying to get rid of Cookie because we could no longer afford the expenses, sadly. When we told Angela, she took it upon herself to find Cookie a wonderful home among the community, and even took Cookie away for us. If me or my family ever gets animals again, Angela will surely be the first person we will reach out to!”
