Lisa put us at ease right away. We have two challenging dogs, one needing insulin twice daily and one with aggression toward other dogs. Both were taken in with no hesitations. Lisa's experience w dogs is evident. Our boys had a home away from home. Lisa's communication was very prompt and I so appreciated the picture updates. They cuddled and treated them like they were their own. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our boys! We are so relieved to have found you. Will never take them to a kennel again.

Kat was incredible with our boys from the moment they trotted into her home! We always go by the vibe of how they engage people, and our boys loved being with her!! She spoiled them absolutely rotten and sent us tons of photos & updates every single day. Kat took EXCELLENT care of them and we’ll definitely be hiring her again — highly recommend!!

Heather was awesome. Although my buddy was a bit anxious without me, Heather was able to keep her occupied so when she came home she just plopped right down in her favorite spot and went to sleep.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have spent the last 3 years volunteering with Hope for Life Rescue and Penninsula Regional Animal Shelter, working hands on with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from bottle feeding kittens and puppies to caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m the go-to person for family and friends whenever they need someone reliable and loving to care for their pets, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight boarding. I have experience administering medications, handling nervous or shy animals, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, compassion, and plenty of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are already a big part of my life. I volunteer regularly with a local rescue and animal shelter, foster when needed, and I also run my own business from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise, and my own pets (two cats and one dog) are all friendly, well socialized, and up to date on their vaccines. My dog, Mercury, just turned two and is full of energy. She loves meeting other dogs and enjoys playdates, which makes her a great companion for social pups who enjoy interaction and play. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy environment where both pets and pet parents feel comfortable and confident.

Jessica is amazing!!!!! I have used her on multiple occasions and each time she has been a lifesaver especially when it’s last minute. She goes above and beyond with caring for my boys, she even made a birthday cake to celebrate for my Milo while I was out of town. My boys love her and her family.

Candra did great with my German shepherd Enzo! He seemed extremely calm and relaxed when he first met her and my worries went out the window. She communicated well and sent plenty of pictures. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Thanks again!

By far the best experience we’ve had, we did the meet and greet and met the family our baby was going to stay with for a couple days and it was amazing! We could tell they really cared for our dog and any other dog out there. We got constant notifications about how our baby was doing and we got a lot of pictures and videos that made us feel super comfortable and happy our dog was getting the best care. 10/10 recommend her services, and will be using her in the future for future needs

Teresa was very good with my Nyla this weekend. She sent lots of pictures and a video on Nyla’s weekend fun. She also went out of her way to clip Nyla’s nails. I highly recommend Teresa for your pet sitting needs.

Emily & her girls were wonderful!! They took care of Ellie as if she was their own. When she wasn’t feeling good Emily went above and beyond by making her some chicken and rice. They loved on her and snuggled her, and I even got pictures! We will absolutely utilize Emily’s service again on our next vacation. Thanks so much!

Desiree’s home and family were very loving towards my cats. Desiree sends many pictures everyday which I really appreciate. I’d love to keep Desiree as my 2 cats’ go-to sitter but unfortunately we moved away from VA.
