“Jordan did a great job taking care of my dog, Beckett! She sent plenty of pictures and even knitted a little paw for me while I was gone. I also appreciated that she was tidy and bonus ran my dishwasher and stripped the bed for me on her last day. Would absolutely recommend Jordan!”

Madison S.

“Amanda was a wonderful sitter for our doodle Henry. He loved having her and she really took great care of him. He had walks and playtime and she sent frequent pictures showing us how much fun Henry was having. I was completely at ease knowing she was at our house with him. She also left the house impeccable. We highly recommend her!!!”

Paula P.

“Star did a fabulous job housesitting and caring for my cat and 2 dogs, one of whom is super timid and requires lots of time and patience to earn her trust. The pets were all happy and relaxed when I returned, and my home was clean and tidy. Star is professional, great at communicating, and is flexible and accommodating too. I highly recommend her if you want peace of mind that your pets and home will be in the best hands while you're away.”

Linda S.

“Morgan cared for my four dogs in my home. She is wonderful. I highly recommend her. She sent me pictures daily which in turn allowed me to enjoy being away from home and not worry about the dogs being ok. You will not regret having Morgan care for your dogs. She treats them as her own. We will definitely use her again!!”

Jennifer M.

“We hit the jackpot with Lindsey! She watched our 4 pets after a last minute booking and did a wonderful job of following our instructions/requests and keeping us informed every day. One of our dogs got sick and she quickly notified us. We came home to some happy animals!”

Elaina J.

“Tori was great, she took very good care of our home and dog over this past weekend. Tori sent daily status emails and texts with several photos included. These helped keep us informed of how Toby was acclimating as this was the 1st time we had left him home with a sitter. Toby seemed to enjoy his time with Tori, and they went outside to play a few times a day.”

John M.

“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!”

Michelle F.

“Samson really loved his time with Amanda! She got him to warm up to her very quickly. She took him on long walks, played with him, and gave him tummy rubs! She also sent great updates with pictures on how he was doing. Amanda is very knowledgable when it comes to dogs and I really appreciate her taking such good care of Samson. She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy while I was away. We even had some car issues on our way back and she stayed longer than we had planned. We will definitely be booking her again!”

Grace H.

“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!”

Jennifer D.

“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.”

Betsy H.

“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.”

Lisa M.

“Corinne took care of my precious boy. She took him for walks and gave him a bunch of attention. Bodie was sad to see her leave. Will definitely use her again.”

Blake S.

“Caitlin surpassed our expectations! She gave us peace of mind our fur babies were fully taken care of. She made sure to keep me in the loop with updates and the most adorable pictures. She even brought extra treats that became a favorite. I would recommend her to anyone and hope to use her again in the future! Thank you Caitlin for everything! I know Bear and Coco miss you!”

ReNew C.

“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. Sam arrived on time and kept me updated. My dogs were relaxed and happy when I got home and the house was spotless. My boys are looking forward to more visits with Sam!”

Tina M.

“Melissa was godsent. I had to travel for a family emergency, so it was last minute. Melissa was available, flexible and perfect. I felt safe with her watching Bodhi. She texted me pictures and was easily contacted. She was quick to respond. Thank you Melissa.”

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.

“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 have taken care of dogs, cats and even rabbits since my family has taken in stray animals. We help them have the love they need until they are ready to find a permanent home. Currently I’m a student part-time so I will have the ability for the weekends and Wednesday and Thursday! Changes can be made for different days of the week. I have my partner in crime, Camilo, who can also make company to your lovely child in our days of fun! But for both of us respect and maintaining boundaries in someone’s home is always the rule of thumb!

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.
