“Ember was absolutely fantastic with our Husky. She played with him, went out of her way to make him frozen Kings, and even BRUSHED him which is a whole chore for husky owners? She made us feel at ease while we were away and helped around the house while we were gone - took out the trash on trash day, gathered/sorted our mail, and went above and beyond washing towels and sheets. We were very appreciative of Ember and will book again!”
“Amelia was reliable and responded to all my messages in a timely manner. It was my first time using Rover and both of our first experience with overnight visits. Louis is aging and does not do well alone. Not only did she take excellent care of my Louis but she left my home as I left it. She even washed the bath towels she used while she stayed. I highly recommend Amelia. She is trustworthy and I look forward to using her again!”
“Ronda was not only efficient and responsive, sharing twice-daily feedback about the care and feeding of our two kitties, but she was also able to establish an affectionate bond with them during our 16-day absence. We are pleased to give Ronda 5 stars and would highly recommend her.”
“Billy was the perfect Dog Sitter. All four of my dogs loved him immediately. He took such good care of them. He was prompt, courteous, attentive to all of my dogs. He was fantastic, and I will certainly use him again.”
“Draven did a fantastic job dog sitting and house sitting for us over a 10 day vacation! Our pup Val took to her right away and was happy as can be upon return. She managed Val’s medications daily, provided updates for us and left our home in better condition than we left it. I highly recommend her for your next pet care need!”
“Carmen made me feel at ease while caring for our 3 dogs. She has to juggle a puppy, senior, and other dog and did so without issue. She stayed in the house and gave them attention so I could enjoy time away. Will definitely book with Carmen again for sitting.”
About: The more the merrier! I was put on this earth to love and care for all animals. I'm also experienced with senior animals, i.e. giving medications and various treatments needed by those seniors in our lives. Pet sitting/house sitting is my main priority. I value all animals, and the time it takes to care for them all, and find each experience rewarding. I treat them like they're my own. My cats usually sleep on my bed, and they are usually in the same room with me, and I talk to them constantly. I think we all talk to our pets, so they know our voice and tone of voice.

Plus a few head rubs before I left.
“My dogs love Sam! Sam asked good questions and made sure he understood all the medication and special needs. He played with my youngest and cuddled with my older dogs.

“I can’t recommend Sam highly enough! She sent so many pics and little updates throughout the entire weekend and took THE BEST care of our pups. She’s such an example of going above and beyond! Both of our dogs have some tricky behaviors and Sam didn’t even bat an eye. She was patient with our slow-to-warm-up dog and I didn’t have to worry about our babies for a second. My only complaint is that she can’t move to our new house with us!!”
About: I am the owner of Pets and Pastures Pet Care, LLC. I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years and have experience caring for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, turtles, and fish. Friends and neighbors have always trusted me to look after their pets while they're away, knowing they'll be in good hands. Currently, I live on a farm with four horses, four dogs, five cats, one pig, and chickens, so I’m very comfortable around animals of all kinds. I provide services in Castleton, Amissville, Rixeyville, Little Washington, Warrenton, and Culpeper. I am willing to travel to other towns. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each animal’s unique needs and personality to ensure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for in your absence. I offer flexible pet sitting services, including multiple daily drop-ins or full-time, 24/7 care if your pet prefers having company around the clock. I’ll also provide daily photo updates so you can stay connected with your fur baby while you're away. I am negotiable with prices. I'm currently pet and house sitting full-time so I’m likely to be available when you need me. I occasionally manage multiple homes at once, so scheduling is usually not a problem. I carefully follow all instructions when caring for pets to ensure they are comfortable and happy while their owner is away. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind so they can fully enjoy their vacation. I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, are well cared for, fed on time, and given any necessary medications.
About: If you have any questions about my services please reach out to me. I am willing to be as flexible as I can. Since I am in school through Monday - Friday. But I am available all day and all night on the weekends. I have my own pet. He is a rag-doll cat and he requires a lot of attention throughout the day which I love because he is very interactive. I love to cuddle with my pet and any other animals that I can get the opportunity to cuddle and pet. I love playing, walking and just simply hanging out with any pets.
About: We grew up with dogs and have been dog-sitting for thirty years. In the 90s, we had “Pampered Pets” in Boston, then we moved to Washington, DC, where we rebranded as “Top Dog DC,” and now we’re in Sperryville, VA, with “2 Dog Hotel.” Also, in the early 2000s, we raised four “Guiding Eyes for the Blind” puppies. Puppy raisers are critical to many organizations that train working dogs. Future guide dogs must be socialized in warm and loving homes, the puppies are fun, and puppy raisers learn about dog psychology and training. However, it's still not easy sending the pups off to college. Having done many "Intervac" house swaps, now we're getting into house sitting. We can take care of your pets and your home while you travel. We spend much time at home on our patio, gated deck (squirrel TV included), near a cozy wood stove, or on the nearby hiking trails. Since we spend so much time at home, keeping to your dog’s regular schedule is manageable. When we have dogs, we rarely do things where they can't join us. We only take care of one or two dogs at a time. The truth is we enjoy the pet therapy we get from dog-sitting, and the therapists seem to like it too.

“I’ve known Jacqueline for many years and know of her love for animals. She has two cats and has had her own horse as well as horses boarding on her property.”
Amber R.
“Amber has such a huge heart for animals. My Gunner boy was an anxious pup, storms would scare him pretty bad. Seperation anxiety was a struggle, but Amber was so understanding and he felt so calm with her. She was my Go-to for a sitter when it came to him. She loved him like her own, giving him all the cuddles and snuggles he could ever wish for. She was patient and understanding when a new environment was totally new to him and he acted out of character (marking😩) , never having been watched by others, especially in someone’s home was new to him and I both. But it couldn’t have gone smoother. He adjusted so well with her he almost didn’t want to come back home 😂 he loved Amber so much, and we were so sad when we had to part ways. There would never be another sitter like her. Our boy has since crossed the rainbow bridge but I know for sure Amber left a huge mark on him, and I’m positive he left his little paw print on her heart too. We are forever thankful for the kindness and love she showed our boy when we wouldn’t be home to do it. She was his second home.🫶🏻”

Cora H.
“Cora H. Is a very responsible person who loves animals! Her experience with 4-H animals has set her up to responsibly pet sit. Cora has taken care of our two cats and we were never concerned about them as they were well fed, petted and loved. She also took care of their kitty litters and everything was neat and clean when we got home. Cora looks after every detail with all pets. I would highly recommend Cora for all your pet sitting needs. Sincerely, Margaret V.”

She has been reliable, keeps in touch, and lets me know if there was any issue with the dogs. Both dogs love her and wait at the door when I tell them Cindy is coming. I can highly recommend her!”

Scott & Sarah O.Star Sitter
“I feel uniquely qualified to recommend Sarah and Scott to you for your dog's home away from home because they warmly and wisely provided that home to mine. Sarah and I were work colleagues who got to know each other only like two dog mothers can: we raised together one puppy in our two homes for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. This puppy, Jasmine, excelled such that Guiding Eyes chose her for one of their brood dogs, a badge of honor for their best, brightest, and most well-raised. Ultimately I had two labs of my own who, of course, "boarded" with Sarah and Scott. Despite the fact that they lived only a very few blocks from the commotion of the White House (D. C.), I always knew they would be safe in this city oasis. Your dogs could never hope for a better country retreat. They will be safe and treasured like they are Sarah's and Scott's own. Linda”
