“Thane was great! Our pups and cat were well taken care of and our house was just as we left it! Communication was great and loved all of the pictures that were sent as well - would definitely book again!”

“Daniel was awesome! Very kind and kept us up to date on how things were going at home the whole time we were away! I would absolutely recommend him and would book him again in a heartbeat to take care of our pup!”


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.
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and have been a cat dad for six years now so I have a vast amount of experience with both animals and love both equally. Family friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs, including overnight stays for weeks at a time, when they go on vacation. I have also taken care of my friends' cats on multiple occasions and love the opportunity to do so. With pets I have administered medication, changed and cleaned litter boxes, and fed at appropriate times. I'm currently working part-time so will have plenty of time for visits with bog dogs and cats! I am also outdoorsy and athletic so would love to play outside with pets whenever I get the chance. Part-time shifts would be no earlier than 9:30 in the morning and no later than 9:30 in the evening, so I would always be free for early morning or evening visits. I have plenty of experience with dog sitting for family friends while staying in their house, so would be very comfortable with home visits or walking around the neighborhood.

“Celeste was great! They house sat for me and took care for my cats, sent me pictures and made sure they got attention, fed, and cleaned the litter box. Would definitely recommend them!”

“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.”

About: I was raised in a family of animal lovers and helped to care for at least one family pup at all times. From my grandma's cat filled house to my own dogs, I have always been surrounded by a variety of furry friends so I'm very comfortable and experienced with caring for them. I began pet-sitting for neighbors as soon as I got into high school, and I'm very excited to meet some new furry friends! As a second year student at the University of Virginia home on winter break from classes, I've got a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care! I have a completely free schedule, which means I can provide consistent and attentive care for your furry friends, ensuring they get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention while you're away! Since I live in an apartment that doesn't allow animals, I don't offer in-home pet care services. Instead, I provide dedicated pet care at your convenience! I will make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy during our time together. I also maintain a flexible schedule to accommodate your needs, ensuring your furry friend receives the best care possible in a familiar environment. Your pet's well-being is my top priority!
“Oli helped us out on really short notice and took fantastic care of our pup. It was such a relief to know our girl was getting love and attention while we were away. Thank you, Oli!”

“Victor was an exceptional guest and a wonderful caretaker for my two dogs. He followed all instructions carefully, maintained great communication while I was away, and most importantly, my dogs absolutely adored him. The house was spotless when I returned! Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. I would not hesitate to welcome him back again. Highly recommended!”

“Lindy was amazing! They gave us great updates every day on how Laika was doing, and what they were up to everyday. And lots of adorable pictures in which it was clear Laika was having a great time with them. Highly recommend!”

“Rosemary is the best! She provided our animals a wonderful care experience and was very thoughtful in watching our house while we were away. Rosemary is also very communicative, letting us know how our animals were while we were away.”

“Alex did a great job with our 2 pups. He took detailed notes at our meet and greet and followed their feeding and walking schedules carefully. Great communication and pics so we knew they were receiving good care. We’ve already booked Alex for our next time away”


“Emily did a fantastic job caring for our critters and home while we were away. She provided daily updates, photos, and even a video or two. We really appreciated her good communication and reliability. Thanks for a great experience!”

“We were so happy to find [Sitter’s Name]! She followed all instructions carefully and asked thoughtful questions when needed, which gave us peace of mind right away. After the first night, we knew our dogs were in great hands and we didn’t have to worry. She was reliable, attentive, and everything we hoped for in a sitter. We were impressed and would absolutely use her again and recommend her to others!”

“Kaitlyn did a great job caring for our bloodhound and cat, and took wonderful care of our home while we were away. Our dog can be very anxious and she seemed at ease and very comfortable when we came home, leaving me confident she’d been in great hands while we were away.”


“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.

DJ took wonderful care of our two Golden Retrievers while we were away! From the beginning, he was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. DJ kept us updated and sent lots of photos. We wouldn’t hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
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.

Miska was absolutely wonderful! From the initial message, to the meet and greet, and then the actual dog sitting part. She was very responsive to my messages and she was flexible in setting up the "meet and greet" with me and Max. When we met for the first time she was very personable and Max leaned into her for side scratches almost immediately. Miska asked pertinent questions and took notes during our meeting and tour of the apartment. She spent time loving on Max as I showed her where all of his medications and treats were located. While I was gone she let me know when she arrived and gave a me quick rundown of what her and Max were doing and she sent pictures daily. Miska treated my home like it was hers and everything was left in a neat and clean manner, even going as gar as doing dishes and taking out trash. Most importantly Max was a happy boy when I returned. I will most definitely be using Miska again in the future.

Conrad took great care of Finn and held down the fort at our house for a week. He was communicative and kept a very consistent routine with photos for peace of mind ☺️we would recommend him to anyone in need and will keep him at the forefront of our minds going forward.

Amber was a fantastic dog and house sitter while we were away for 8 days! Both of our dogs have a few peculiarities that she was able to navigate, our home was very clean when we got home, and the dogs were very well loved! She communicated well and was reliable throughout the entire booking/sitting process.

Alexis is wonderfully attentive and communicative and did an excellent job with our senior dogs! We were gone for a week and knew they were in good hands. She was very receptive to our directions and keeping the little old ladies safe and loved. We highly recommend Alexis!
Molly took great care of our three dogs while we were away and kept us updated throughout. Molly was especially patient and understanding with our older Chihuahua. It was clear that our dogs were well cared for and comfortable. We would happily trust her with our pets again and highly recommend her to others.
