“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Gem – Like Family to Us and Maximus! We feel incredibly lucky to have found Hannah—she’s not just a dog walker, she’s part of our family. Our dog Maximus is truly our baby (especially now that our kids are grown and out of the house), and knowing that Hannah cares for him with the same love and attention we do means the world to us. Hannah has been with us for over three months now, and in that time she’s become someone we fully trust with our most spoiled and beloved family member. She’s reliable, flexible with our crazy schedule, and always greets Maximus with affection and warmth. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. Maximus absolutely adores her! She goes above and beyond to make sure he feels cared for when we’re not home, which gives us such peace of mind. We treasure Hannah and everything she does for our family. If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own, look no further. She’s truly one of a kind.”
“Sherry took our menagerie of dogs and cats in stride when she arrived and she handled my dog Duncan with ease during the walk. She obviously loves animals and my dog, who is sometimes shy with strangers, immediately liked her and will be happy to see her the next time she comes. I highly recommend her if you need a good caretaker for your pets.”
“Kimberly is so so sweet and makes sure that my two dogs are well taken care of. She always updates me on when she is going over to take care of them, what they did while she was with them, and always provides cute pictures of them! She is very responsive and professional, I would definitely recommend using her!”
“Clara was professional and obviously loves dogs. And my dogs loved her from the first meeting, too, despite the fact that they usually tend to be nervous around strangers. I will be happy to hire her for future visits.”
“Lisette is great with my dogs! We have an older dog that she comes and walks and he loves it. We also just got a puppy and she has been coming over in the middle of the day to take him and our older dog on small walks and it’s been great!”
About: I have owned and taken care of a variety of pets from a young age. I feel comfortable around all types of animals and I understand how to interact with them. I am currently working full time with weekends off. My current work schedule is from 7-3 so I would be available for late afternoon and evening check-ins on week days. I am available on the weekends for any time of day. I will be home full time between June and August and available all day. I have a fenced in yard with lots of space for running and playing. I have two lovable Boston Terriers and two well behaved and socialized cats. We allow all of our animals on the furniture and lots of cuddle time. Our animals have access to water all day and we can feed them according to your schedule or leave food out.
About: “Compassionate Care for All Creatures – Big, Small, and Furry 🐕🐈🐴” Hi, I’m Virginia — owner of Virginia’s Haven LLC, where pets of all kinds are treated like family. From playful pups and cozy cats to barn animals and reactive dogs, I bring years of experience, patience, and love to every pet I care for. Whether you need daily dog walks, drop-in cat care, house visits for your senior pet, or even a calm hand during end-of-life transitions, I’m here for you and your animals every step of the way. I also offer pet taxi services to help get your furry loved ones where they need to go — vet appointments, grooming, or even just home from daycare. At Virginia’s Haven, it’s not just about pet sitting — it’s about creating peace of mind, compassionate support, and a second home for your animals. I’m available 7 days a week, all year round, including holidays. I know how important consistent, reliable care is — and I’ll always do my best to integrate you and your pets into my schedule, even during busy times. Whether it’s a last-minute walk, a weekend getaway, or long-term support, I’m here to help whenever you need me. 💖 🏡 How I Care for Pets in Their Own Home At Virginia’s Haven, I know that some pets feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings. Caring for pets in their own home means they can stick to their normal environment, scents, and routines, which helps reduce stress and keep them happy. When providing care in your home, I offer: 🐾 Familiar Routines — Keeping mealtimes, walks, and play sessions consistent with your pet’s normal schedule. 🛏️ Comfort in Their Own Space — Allowing your pet to sleep in their favorite spot or cuddle up with their usual blanket. 🦴 Play & Enrichment — Interactive play, enrichment activities, and plenty of attention tailored to your pet’s personality. 💊 Special Care — Administering medications or following specific care instructions for pets with medical or behavioral needs. 📸 Updates for Peace of Mind — Regular photos and updates so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. This approach allows pets to remain relaxed and secure, while still receiving the same level of love and attention they would in my own home. ⸻ 🐶 How I Care for Pets in My Home At Virginia’s Haven, your pets are treated like part of the family — welcomed into a calm, loving, and structured environment where their comfort and safety come first. When caring for pets in my home, I provide: 🐾 Safe, Supervised Introductions 🛏️ Cozy, Designated Rest Areas 🦴 Plenty of Playtime, Enrichment, and Love 📆 Routine and Structure to help them feel secure 🐶 Individual Attention — especially for pets with anxiety or special needs I understand that every animal is different, which is why I tailor care based on your pet’s personality, preferences, and comfort level. ⸻ 🐕🦺 Important Note About My Own Dog 🐕🦺 I also have a reactive dog of my own who lives with me full-time. She’s incredibly loved and well-managed, but she does take some time to warm up to new dogs — we call her our “nervous nelly.” Because of this: • I use slow, controlled introductions • I monitor all interactions carefully • I may keep pets separated until I’m confident they’re comfortable Your pet’s emotional well-being is just as important as their physical safety, and I’ll always make thoughtful, professional decisions based on what’s best for everyone involved. 💖
About: I cared for my family dog for 12 years until she passed, as well as cared for my family and friends furry animals over the years. I’m currently working full time. Can be available before 10:00-11:00 am and in evening after 6:30pm or 7:30pm. Work schedule rotates, and can be flexible. I’ll make sure they are safe at all times, and well taken care of. Take them on walks, feed them if needed, and play of course!
“Our doodle and 2 kitties love Kyla! One of these kitties is very shy with people. When Kyla comes over though he comes out to look for her! Kyla is a natural with our pets and we feel lucky we found her.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! Whether I was taking care of my small “zoo” of hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, and dogs when I was younger, pet sitting for family friends, or now in my adult life taking care of my own animals, their health, safety, and well being have remained my focus. They are such an important part of our lives, and we are their whole lives. I currently have an open schedule, so I have lots of time to take your dog on a short walk or check in on your pets during the day! I am comfortable taking dogs outside on leash or off leash in a fenced in yard, and walking them in the area around your home. I am able to crate dogs if needed in your home.
“Becky is a trustworthy, professional and dog loving walker. I reached to her because of a review by a friend who had used her services. If you are in the Basye/a Bryce area and need dog walking or other services, call Becky. She provides peace of mind.”
About: I grew up in a pet loving household with a German shepherd mix husky, a blue heeler, and even a dachshund mix basset hound. I’m comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I’m here to give your pup a quick and fun bathroom break (: I’m currently waiting to start a full time job at the beginning of September and have open availability until starting a new role. However I’m hoping to continue rover afterwards where it fits in my schedule. With owning my own dogs, I’ve had my fair share of collar slip outs. I always make for appropriate tightness of collars or harnesses and make sure the dog is comfortable with me prior to leaving the home.
“I was nervous having someone come into my home and take my pup on walks while I’m at work but Megan has been so great! My dog Dixie loves her! Thank you Megan for what you do! 😁”
“Rob is awesome and we see it in our dogs reaction when he arrives to walk her. I work from home and unable to exercise her due to my schedule, but Rob is always punctual and considerate while I’m on the phone when he picks up and drops off our 95 lb lapdog. We highly recommend him.”
About: I was born into a home with canine sisters and grew up with both cats and dogs. While I love all sorts of dogs, I have spent most of my life caring for cats. I also have training in cat and dog first aid. I'm a professor, and I travel to RI once per week. The remainder of the time, I work from home, libraries, and cafes, so I have plenty of time to hang out and play with your kitties or pups. I can also take breaks for walks throughout the day, as I mostly set my own schedule. I will interact with your fur babies on their own terms. For kitties, this might mean lots of cuddling and playing or hanging out and talking from across the room until they feel comfortable with me. I send pictures and updates at least once from every visit. Most of my recent dog experience with dogs has been with friends' pitties, which has always involved playing a lot. I am unfortunately unable to board animals at this timem
