Mirren was a dream. During our meet and greet, she was attentive to our directions and sweet to our pooches. She communicates well and often and wasn't afraid to ask questions. I really appreciated her easy going manner and ability to deal with unexpected hiccups. We would definitely use her again!

Renee took fantastic care of my dog while I was away and clearly loved on him totally! She sent great videos of their walking adventures and him playing. The house was in terrific condition when I got home. I look forward to booking with Renee again when I travel. I trust her to keep my fur child safe and happy. Thanks Renee!

About: I’ve taken care of and been surrounded my dogs all my life. Friends and family have relied on me to care for their pet and ensure I stick to their feed/walk routine I’m currently working a hybrid schedule so I have flexibility for sitting and dog walking. I’m also available on weekends and would be happy to dog sit at your home. Happy to follow your pup’s schedule for feeding and walking times! Also would love to offer a no pressure meet and greet. Will request emergency contact information as well

Juan was ABSOUTLEY amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure my nephew Apollo’s was comfortable and loved. He also went even further resetting the whole house (cleaning dishes, comforter, etc.)! When ever Apollo is in VA I will always make sure I check if Juan is available first before looking for other sitters. Juan’s communication was also stellar! Sending pictures and constant contact which helped my anxiety tremendously. He followed my provided guide with flying colors and when Apollo got a little sick helped him back to perfect stool! Thank you so much Juan we really appreciate your care for animals and your attention to detail!

She also takes great care of the house and leaves it perfectly clean. We have used Trisha’s house/dog sitting services several times now and she is consistently as great each time!

Korrey watched our animals for two whole weeks, so we could go on a much-needed long vacation. He did a great job of caring for the animals & even wrangled all 3 of them to the vet for a routine visit. He loved them like they were his own. It was a relief to know they were given such good care & love. He was conscientious, communicative, & kept us up-to-date. We were fortunate to have his big open-hearted help.

Halle is a great communicator and even when we were out of service range, I felt comfortable that our dogs were getting the best care possible. When we returned home our house was even cleaner than we left it and our dogs were as happy as can be. Thank you, Halle!!!

Anna was absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend. She sent regular communications and photos so I knew my pets were in good hands. Both of my pets require meds and she was able to easily handle that process at feeding time. On top of that, one of my pets had a medical episode during her stay (it happens, but was still unexpected) and while I know it was scary to witness she was able to help my dog through it and calmly communicate the series of events that led up to it so I could relay to my vet.

Karachi We are so grateful for the amazing care our little angel received. From the moment we arrived home, it was clear how much attention and love she had been given. The studio was spotless, the sheets had been washed, and everything was perfectly organized. These thoughtful details meant so much to us. Most importantly, we could tell that Gini was happy, comfortable, and well cared for during her stay. Thank you for treating her like family. She means the world to us, and we would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommended!

Anna is a top notch pup sitter. I’m a crazy dog dad and Anna exceeded all expectations. Our dog has some separation anxiety and Anna more than accommodated his needs and made us feel very comfortable while we were gone for a couple days. She regularly provided updates which included pictures and videos. We will not hesitate to use Anna as our go-to dog sitter!

Abby was amazing. I was very nervous about getting a pet sitter we didn't know for our dog but she was incredibly reassuring and very patient with Marly (our dog), who can be nervous around strangers. She gave updates and pictures throughout the days on how Marly was doing and had no issues with walking her (she can be reactive). I have absolutely no complaints and would hire Abby again.

I may regret saying this because it could make it harder to book him in the future, but I can’t say enough good things about Leo! He was punctual, communicative, flexible, and genuinely kind throughout the entire experience. He has a calm, friendly nature that immediately put both me and my dog at ease. My Ollie is still generally cautious around strangers, but with Leo it was completely different. The moment Ollie spotted him from a distance, he was excited instead of fearful. He immediately approached him with confidence and comfort, which is incredibly rare for him. Watching that instant connection gave me complete peace of mind. It’s not often you find someone who is not only reliable and professional, but who also has such a natural connection with animals. I would absolutely trust Leo with Ollie again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.
