House Sitting in Troutville

“Huge thank-you to Trina! She cared for my dog during a work trip that turned chaotic when I got delayed coming home. She not only kept everything running smoothly, but did it with such kindness and reliability. (I also forgot to take out the trash before leaving for said work trip and she graciously took care of that for me upon her arrival - thank you again, Trina!) Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”

“Selena took care of our pup on short notice and did a great job! She made us feel super comfortable by meeting us/our dog a few times before we left for our trip. She sent photos every day and our usually shy pup warmed up pretty quickly!”

Colleen K.

“Ceci was amazing with our pets and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for while we were away from home!”

Amber D.

“Great sitter for our two spoiled dogs! We were on an international trip and Zoe was very flexible and able to do overnights which eased our minds with a 14 week old puppy. Will use again!”

About: I have taken care of pets and houses for friends and family on many occasions and would love to care for your pets while you’re away. I will be available as often as needed to take care of your pets. I can be flexible to work with you for your pet’s needs. I feed and walk my dog and my past clients dogs twice daily. Additionally, I provide enrichment play for both cats and dogs each day I watch them.

“She was amazing and took great care of both of our dogs. We will definitely be continuing to have her watch our dogs in the future! Thank you again!”

“Justine watched our pups for a week and they were obviously well-cared for and loved. I was relaxed the whole time away knowing that she had them in hand. We had a small hiccup with exactly which food to feed, but it was an easy fix and I look forward to having Justine back as often as she is available. She left the house just as she found it- possibly even better.”

“William stayed with my 10 year old doggie during the holidays for 5 days and overnights. It was my first time using William and he was great about communicating with me before his arrival and also sent updates and a daily photo during his stay at my home. Thanks William!”

Carol P.

“Megan took care of my 3 dogs and house sat for me while we were on vacation the past 10 days. She sent me beautiful photos and I could tell my babies were being pampered and well cared for. I told her she could bring her own dog too, and the four of them became fast friends- Remy especially is gonna miss Hadley! Came home to happy dogs and a sparking clean house, everything was perfect. Megan was friendly and responsive to questions. I’d definitely book her again! If you need a fun, caring dog sitter, Megan is the one!!”

“Had a little difficulty with figuring out the schedule at first, but that was sorted out quickly. My dog had a health issue and Steve was very helpful in managing this and very patient with our pup.”

Natalie V.

“Ashlyn came in so clutch helping me out last minute with taking care of my puppy, Stella. She communicated very well, was so positive even though i know my puppy is teething and kind of a pain! And she showed up and left when she said she would. Very much appreciate her consciousness and kindness when caring for my baby!! I would trust her in my home again anytime”

Hermine Maisie L.

“Grace was amazing with my babies! She stayed in constant communication with me and sent me lots of updates and pictures. My dogs are a bit high maintenance but my mind was at ease knowing my babies were safe and cared for! I will for sure be using her again. Thank you Grace!”

Josselyn E.

“Scott was above and beyond! Our baby Chili dog was so happy and he even took care of our home. We are so grateful and ask Scott everytime! Highly recommend.”

Megan G.

“Jade was amazing and followed our instructions carefully! We received the most adorable pictures of our fur baby while we were away, giving us peace of mind. We will definitely be booking with Jade in the future!”

About: Hi everyone! I am currently in school to be a Vet Tech, I also work full time as a Vet Assistant. I have lived and worked on a farm for 5+ years, i’ve worked with animals from ferrets up to horses! I am happy to help love and care for your pet just as much as you!! I’m work 4 days out of the week, 10 hour shifts, but where I work at a Vet, I am able to leave to let your pet out when need be!! I will care for your pet in your home the same way you will, I will not touch belongings unless told to do so, and I will make sure to clean up any messes made and make your pet feel loved and safe!

About: I will love your pets like my own. Leaving our pets behind while we travel is stressful enough, leave them with someone who's going to love them like you would if you were there. I believe sticking to the routines and schedules you have established for them is important for helping the time move quicker for them while you're away. I have no issues following detailed instructions and making sure their time away from you is filled with love and routine. I work Monday - Friday 7am-3pm and I am off on the weekends. I am available after those hours and on the weekend I work around my schedule I try to always do in the client homes because it is less disruptive to the animal and it keeps them on the same routine.

“Brendle was delightful and our 2 dogs had the best time with her. She hung out with them for 5 hours while we went to watch our son’s championship game. Brendle took them on a 2 mile hike, played ball at the park, and they were thoroughly and happily exhausted at the end of her stay. I cannot say enough nice things about Brendle! She is a gem!”

Carolyn B.

“Amelia was fantastic! She took such great care of our two fur babies and even sent me photos during our trip. It was a real comfort knowing she was there loving them. When we got home she didn't leave a trace and even changed the sheets on the bed for us. Highly recommend her services. Thank you so much!!”

About: I'm an active volunteer with a local animal shelter, where I work hands-on with dogs of many ages, sizes, temperaments, I have experience caring for shy, anxious, high-energy, and sensitive dogs, and I'm comfortable with reading canine body language, building trust, and providing calm, reliable care tailored to each dog's needs. Pet care is part of my regular routine through weekend availability when I'm off work. I plan my schedule around providing attentive, consistent care, including walks, feeding, enrichment and companionship, so each dog receives focused, unhurried attention. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and preferred activities. I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious pets, by moving at their pace and reading their body language. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm, attentive interaction, whether that means exercise and playtime or quiet companionship. In a client's home, I respect their space and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.

“Julia did an amazing job! My pets immediately loved her and she took great care of them while I was gone for a week. My house was super clean when I got back too. 5/5 would rebook again! :)”
