House Sitting Troutville

“Trina is a gem! I feel so lucky to have found her and she took wonderful care of my kitty Izzy. So good in fact I didn't even get meowed at loudly on my return 5 days later! She played with her, fed her let her sit on her lap as much as she wanted which was a lot I'm sure. She's very conscientious and I felt like she cared for my kitty like she would want hers cared for. Izzy looks wonderful and wasn't traumatized by my leaving. BTW, my cat is 17, deaf, arthritic with kid ey disease who is super attached to me so I was terrified to leave her. But once I met Trina at the interview, I knew she would love Izzy as one of her own. I highly highly recommend her for persisting and overnights. She's the best!”

“Sharon was great! She was friendly and our basset, who is usually hesitant when meeting new people, warmed up quickly. We felt comfortable knowing our dog was in her care in our home for a week. Sharon communicated consistently, sent photos daily, and left our home clean. We would definitely book her again in the future.”

About: I’m a lifelong pet owner with years of experience caring for animals and homes. I know pets are family, and I take my role as their temporary favorite human pretty seriously! I have experience with special needs pets and am comfortable giving medications, managing special feeding routines, and respecting very strong opinions about where to nap. If your pet needs care that’s new to me, I’m happy to learn and follow your instructions closely. My goal is to help you relax while you’re away, knowing your pets are getting thoughtful care, plenty of affection, and regular reminders that they’re the cutest creatures on the planet. I am currently wide open and looking to help out whenever it is needed. Until further notice I can be available any day, any time. I have three cats, and my senior kitties each have their own needs. One of my girls has asthma, so giving her an inhaler is part of our routine. I’ve also owned dogs and other animals, so my love definitely goes beyond cats! My cats have very different personalities, and they’re a daily reminder that every pet needs their own kind of care and attention. Some want snuggles, some want playtime, and some would appreciate it if you respected their very important personal space. I love meeting new pets and taking the time to earn their trust. When caring for your pets, I’ll follow their usual routines and your instructions for meals, medications, and daily care. I’ll pay attention to what makes them comfortable and let them warm up at their own pace. Whether they want a cuddle buddy or just some quiet company, I’m happy to be their person while you’re away.

“Erin was AMAZING! She's responsive and respectful and took wonderful care of my big fur baby while I was away. Ziggy was so loved by her and taken care of, and the house looked immaculate too. I couldn't ask for a better sitter. Thank you Erin!”

About: I have been dog sitting since my freshman year of high school to raise money for a school trip to Costa Rica that I attended in 2023. I am currently available anytime of the week.

We have had 3 dogs growing up: 2 boxers and a great dane; and now i have 2 spoiled rotten golden retrievers and a great dane who passed away in March of 2026.

I would rather hand feed your dog than them just not eat due to stress/anxiety. I am a picture guru, so you will receive pics even if you don’t ask for them. I only ask that you are honest with me when it comes to the needs your pet has and the needs you as an individual expect.

“Couldn’t be more thrilled with James! We have been so worried about leaving our anxious German shepherd with anyone and have avoided trips for years because of it. James walked in the door and it was the strangest thing… he did some initial barking but then laid down at his feet like old friends. We arrived home to a happy dog and a clean house! Never would have known we had someone staying in our home while we were gone! James played fetch with our dog SO much. I think our pup was in heaven. Hire James if you want a happy dog and a happy vacation :) so grateful!”
