Thank you Marissa! Figgy was well cared for and were so thankful to be able to leave her at home instead of at a kennel. Marissa left the house spotless and was extremely flexible when our plans changed.

Celeste was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was communicative, thoughtful, and consistently kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared about my dog, and seeing how happy and comfortable my dog was in her presence meant everything to me. I could tell my dog felt safe, loved, and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Celeste again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Sara was great! We left our Nailah home for a night while we went on a trip and she took good care of her. She sent pictures as well as updates while we were gone and our Nailah really seemed to love her. Would highly recommend 10/10

About: My name is Nick and I am a teacher in Chesterfield county looking to use my love for animals as a way to make some extra money over the summer. I have had dogs and cats growing up my whole life and currently have a dog named Bagel and a cat named Friday. I also have lots of experience dog/cat sitting for friends and family over the years ever since I was in high-school. I am a teacher so I won’t be working during the summers so I will have unlimited time during the day/night to take care of your pets and their needs! Once the school year starts I can do weekends and afternoon/nights! I have a lot of energy myself so if your pets love to get exercise/play around I am very up for that. I also try to be very thorough with the pet care instructions and will ask questions/for clarification to ensure I am giving your pet the best care as possible.

She is amazing! Our dog was obviously pampered and much more relaxed than usual when we get back. I’ve never been so confident that she was treated well and our house was exceptionally well cared for as well. She even taught our old dog a new game. 100% recommended.

Rose was fantastic, we couldn’t ask for a better pet sitting experience. All of our pets adored her and seemed more than happy in her care. She sent lovely updates/photos of them and wasn’t afraid to reach out with questions. It was the most worry-free pet sitting experience and we look forward to travelling again knowing our pets will be safe and loved in her care.

Douglas was such a great pick to hang with our pups and care for our home while we were gone. Our pups like to keep things interesting and Douglas’s patience with them is not only appreciated, but is admired, especially when it came to caring for our senior dog. We would gladly welcome Douglas back to our home, and I know the pups would love that too.

Viv was fantastic with Mochi! She kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. I loved getting the cute pictures and hearing that everything was going well. It’s clear she enjoys caring for pets and she is very trustworthy. We were so happy with the experience that we rebooked her immediately. I would absolutely recommend Viv to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

About: I have experience caring for dogs through both long-term and everyday responsibilities, including helping raise my aunt’s dog from puppyhood and regularly caring for my boyfriend’s dog. My responsibilities have included walking, feeding, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing companionship to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give to each pet individually. I understand that being away from their owner can be stressful for some animals, so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring, and positive environment where they feel secure and loved. My experience caring for puppies has also taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of paying close attention to behavior, routines, and energy levels. I treat every pet with the same care, compassion, and responsibility I would want for my own animals. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for my own cats. I make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention and playtime throughout the day. I even take my cat on walks, so I’m very attentive to both physical activity and emotional enrichment. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so being patient, observant, and consistent with their routines comes very naturally to me. II believe pets communicate their needs through their behavior and body language, so I always pay close attention to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I respect each pet’s boundaries while also giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, maintaining their routine, and making sure they don’t feel lonely or stressed while their owner is away.

Daniel is great to work with. He is responsive to inquiries and any other messages I have sent him. He takes great care of my apartment when he stays with Morty. I get pictures and a daily "report" of how things are going. I know that Morty is in good hands with Daniel and I don't have to worry when I am out of town.

Catherine was truly an angel, and I honestly don’t think we could have asked for a better sitter! She stayed with our two dogs for about a week while we were out of town, and during that time our air conditioning unexpectedly went out for two days. Instead of leaving or making it our problem, she handled everything with so much patience and grace, communicated with us throughout, and stayed with the dogs the entire time to make sure they were comfortable and cared for. She even coordinated with our landlord, who later told us she was the best house sitter/Rover he’d ever met - which says a lot! When we got home, our dogs were so happy, relaxed, and completely themselves. There was zero stress or adjustment period, and honestly, I don’t even think they missed us with Catherine around! 😂 She went so far above and beyond what anyone could reasonably expect, and it’s obvious she genuinely loves the animals she cares for. We would trust her with our home and our pups again in a heartbeat. If you’re considering booking Catherine, do it - you (and your pets) will be incredibly lucky to have her! 🙏🏼

We had an amazing experience with Elizabeth during our 10 day trip! She took such wonderful care of our dogs and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was communicative, sent us lots of updates and pictures, and it was obvious our pups were happy, comfortable, and well loved. Coming home to happy, relaxed dogs was the best feeling. We truly appreciated all the care and attention she gave them and would absolutely book with her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Having Joe pet-sit for our pups honestly made our trip so much more enjoyable because we never had to worry about how they were doing. He kept us updated multiple times a day with photos, videos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us feel like we were right there with them. It was obvious from the very first meeting that our pups loved him, and all the cuddle pictures he sent only confirmed it. What really stood out was how much he genuinely cared about their happiness and well-being, not just feeding and walking them. He also left our home spotless and even went above and beyond in ways we didn’t expect. One of our neighbors even told us she saw him walking the pups and was impressed by how easily he handled them, which says a lot because our two can definitely be a handful. We can’t recommend Joe enough, and we’re already planning our next trip knowing we’ll be asking him to watch the pups again.

We are writing to formally commend Nina for her outstanding care and professionalism she provided for looking after our home and furry family members during our recent vacation. Throughout the duration of our absence, Nina demonstrated exceptional responsibility, compassion, and attention to detail. She kept us updated daily, including adorable photos that reassured us that our fury family members were happy and well-cared for. Not only were our pets given the best of care, our house was in pristine condition when we got home. Nina is a kind and gentle soul and it shows in her love for animals. We wholeheartedly endorse Nina for any house sitting and pet care. We have already recommended her to our neighbor.

Elizabeth did a great job with our dog, Demi. She stayed at our house and was able to offer Demi her own surroundings. Elizabeth took her for nice long walks and even let her run off leash in a protected yard. Elizabeth gave her lots of snuggles and love while we were away. She followed our special feeding directions and sent us daily pics. I would highly recommend Elizabeth if you are looking for a responsible, kind pet sitter.
