“Zachariah and Morgan take wonderful care of my cats! They are very communicative about how the cats are doing and always send pictures as well. I always feel comfortable going out of town knowing the kitties are in great hands!”


“Rachel did an amazing job checking on our cat! Our cat is normally pretty shy around new people but seemed to warm up to Rachel pretty quickly. Rachel also kept us updated and sent pics everyday. Overall, she was great and we will definitely have her take care of our cat again!”

“Kacey was a wonderful pup and cat sitter! She took care of my two large, energetic pups and my slightly grumpy old cat over the 4th of July holiday weekend. She sent updates and pics during her check ins and I could relax and enjoy my weekend knowing my brood was safe and happy. Thank you, Kacey!”


“This was our first time to meet Lily. She dropped in on our cat daily for 9 days and came prior to our trip to meet him. Each time she was punctual, pleasant, and professional. She responded quickly as I had questions, and left us a daily photo! He was a happy and well-cared-for boy when we got home. We’ll definitely reach out to Lily again when we travel. Thanks so much!”


“My kitty Matilda just loves Lauren! Lauren takes the best care of my kitty. My friends always volunteer to watch Matilda for free. But I politely decline and call Lauren! Thank you so much for taking such good care of my lil kitty!”


“Amy was super reliable and responsive while she took care of our cat, Magpie, for a week. She left great updates and pictures and clearly gave Magpie a ton of love. We would definitely recommend Amy for anyone looking for a cat or dog sitter!”


“Natalia was amazing watching our 2 cats while we were on vacation for a week. She was very communicative, followed all of my instructions, asked questions and took the time each day to find our cat who likes to hide so she could snap a picture. I felt very at ease with her looking after them and will definitely book again.”


About: Dedicated and passionate animal care professional with three years of hands-on experience in kennel management and training. Proven track record of providing exceptional care to a variety of animals while maintaining a safe and enriching environment. Committed to ensuring the well-being and happiness of every animal under my care. Hands on care for everything from litters to seniors🤗 I work from home and create my own schedule, and pet sitting brings me joy and an activity to look forward to after staring at a computer and talking to humans for hours. In your home or your client's, I provide tailored pet care: feeding, exercise, grooming, and affection. I follow instructions meticulously, monitor health, and ensure a safe, happy environment. Communication is key for peace of mind.

About: I'm passionate about providing loving, reliable care for your furry family members. With extensive pet experience, I understand that every animal has unique needs and can accommodate to their nature. I am currently working remotely part time, so my schedule is very open and flexible and I am looking to be more active in pockets of my free time. I look forward to cater to your needs. Personally in my home, my dog has the house to himself. But I value whichever approach you follow for your comfort and pet's safety and will comply with instruction.

About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up my family has always had a least 2 pets, even having 15 at one point. My love for animals has run deep in me since I was a child, which is why I am currently a pre veterinary student at the College of William and Mary. I have experience training puppies including potty training, assisting senior pets, and providing a full and fun life for all animals. I have previously worked at multiple equestrian training facilities and farms, so I understand how to handle larger animals. I am versed in problem solving and strive to make all pets feel safe and happy. I am currently home from college for the summer, so I will have plenty of time to care for your wonderful pets. This will be the main job I am working this summer, so there are few scheduling conflicts. I understand every pet and home is different so I try to cater the care to each client, however there are a few things that will always stay the same. First I always ensure I understand the pets feeding and bathroom schedule. This is vital to ensure the happiness and health of all pets. Second I try to make your pet as comfortable with me as possible. Sometimes new people can be scary, so I would allow your pet to make the first move and establish their level of comfort. I find this creates a level of trust and care between me and your pet. Third I follow any specific instructions given by you, the owner. The families always know their pets best, so following their directions helps ensure your pets safety and comfort.

About: I have had dogs since I was 8 years old. I have also worked with animals professionally, walking and drop in visits. I have spent lots of time volunteering as well so I am used to nervous dogs. I am a college student so I will be here until January 12th, but I am not working any other job until then so I will have plenty of time! I follow directions perfectly and I understand each dog is different and is used to a certain routine that I will be happy to follow!

About: Hello, my name is Aleasha! I have over 10 years experience with caring for animals and am a loving single mother of four children (21 years) Our family has a special love for animals. Whether drop in visits or simply walking your fur baby, your peace of mind while away is our priority! I’m currently working full time at the office. I have high schoolers whom are running this small business with me to serve as “a learning journey” and “stepping stones to life”. I have one mini poodle who is 5 years old, named Grizzly. He is fully insured and all vaccinations are up to date. My boarding availability is as follows: *Open 7 days a week MONDAY-FRIDAY - AFTER 6 PM SATURDAY & SUNDAY - 6 AM - OPEN HOLIDAYS - 6 AM - OPEN I live on a quiet street in The Plains. We have a beautiful trail here to walk your fur babies and about 5 minutes from our home is the Great Meadows Event Center with plenty of space for your fur babies to roam around freely and get plenty of exercise in a beautiful area. -“Without animals, what would the world be like?”

“Just a truly incredible person to watch Ash. He immediately attached to her and I'm pretty sure he already misses seeing her. Leslie went above and beyond numerous times over the nearly 10 day span watching Ash, and I never once worried about him. I absolutely plan on using her as a cat sitter for as long as I'm in the area!”


About: Growing up with a dog-loving family has given me the 23 years of experience I need to look after your pups! I have 4 dogs of my own that I love and care for round the clock, so I know how to handle all the hectic scenarios that dogs may throw your way - I’ve seen it all :) your pups are in good hands with me :) I am a recent college graduate, so I’m currently completely free throughout the week except for Saturdays and Sundays. Depending on my schedule, I am able to work some weekends as needed, just message me to coordinate! My roommate has a cat and for his safety, I do not bring any pets over to our space. However, I have no problem caring for your fur baby in your home or bringing them to other locations! I can take your pups on walks, play with toys inside the house or in the yard, or just give them some belly rubs and hang out with them if they aren’t very active :)
