“Megan is awesome! She watched our two 9 month old puppies. She was patient with us as we dropped the off and wanted to make sure the puppies were comfortable and adjusting. She send updates and photos. The puppies had so much fun with them that when we picked them up, they didn’t want to leave 🤣. 10/10 recommend Megan for your dog sitting needs.”
“Garrett and Ana were wonderful! Kylo thinks so too! We appreciated their communication while he was with them. It gave us peace of mind that he was fine and relaxed. We also appreciated their time to acquaint him with their own dog and other boarders. We'd definitely use them again!”
“We were able to meet with Vanessa and Geoffrey ahead of the booking and everything went smoothly! They have a nice set up for the dogs and provide pics/videos to update you each day. I also appreciate them for being able to accommodate our last minute request. We would use them again!”
“Rebecca was amazing with my two little girls, she was kind to them and I felt safe leaving the dogs with her, she was very understanding and she kept me updated with photos and videos, the girls looked happy and relaxed, she’s also very responsive and flexible which is a blessing as we never know what life and circumstances can bring us ❤️”
“Carlos took fantastic care of our dog Eddie! He was very communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates throughout Eddie's stay and also took Eddie on several walks a day. He really took great care of Eddie and it was really the best Rover stay Eddie has had yet! I could tell Eddie had a great time going on walks, playing with Carlos's dogs and I will definitely have Carlos watch him again in the future!”
“We thought we were going on vacation - nope, our dogs had the vacation of their lives!!! They love Mary and she clearly loves animals. Our beagle actually moped on the ride home 😂🤣”
“Chelsea-Jo took great care of my dog! She sent a ton of pictures and was very easy to communicate with throughout the stay. I will definitely come back if I need pet-sitting services!”
“Traci is amazing, very responsive and my dog has so much fun at her house! She goes out of her way to make special accommodations for my big boy and I couldn’t be more grateful to her!”
“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“Cameron was great with our dog! She was able to accommodate us with short notice and attend to the special needs of our pup. Our dog had lots of play and attention. We would definitely recommend!”
“Excellent! Sabine was very easy to work with and gave multiple updates each day. Our little pup ate well there and was happy when she came back home, which are all signs that her care was very good. Would highly recommend.”
“Heather was fantastic with our dogs and a pleasure to communicate with. She provided pictures daily and worked easily with us on the meet and greet, drop off and pick up times. We are so thankful to have found Heather and will definitely ask her to watch our dogs again.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Marco and Polo! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in caring and loving hands. She kept us updated, treated them like family, and clearly paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. Marco and Polo came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for — which says everything. Sarah went above and beyond, and her kindness and professionalism truly stood out. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but Sarah made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you again, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of our boys!”
“Ana was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Bella! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and understands animals. She took extra time to make sure Bella was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Ana sent regular updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Bella can be a little shy at first, but Ana’s gentle and patient approach won her over right away. We came home to a very relaxed and happy pup — it was obvious she had been loved and cared for as if she were Ana’s own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Ana, for taking such special care of Bella! We’ll definitely be booking with you again. 🐾”
“Emmanuel provided exceptional care for our dog. We were so lucky finding such a good host during holiday season. Emmanuel has a great home environment and is very easy to work with.”
“Marcela is reliable, kind, and compassionate. Our dog is always happy to go to her house, as he’s treated like family. Thank you, Marcela, for another great boarding experience!”
“Jona and Henry were absolutely fantastic with our puppy Mochi. I had provided a cheat sheet to help guide them regarding our puppy’s current schedule and temperament and Jona took the time to read it and ask questions. She provided amazing detailed updates and photos of not just our puppy but also his meals. We couldn’t have left Mochi in better hands and we will definitely be leaving him with Jona and Henry again in the future.”
“Jim again was a super dog caregiver. This is our second long stay with Jim for our dog, Keetna. We had wonderful pictures each day and we could tell during that time and when we picked him up that he was well taken care of (and even loved). Thank you Jim!!!!”

Cat caregivers near you - Rison
About: I have always been an animal lover. I've had small,medium and extra large dogs! Growing up I was the kid that had rabbits, chickens, dogs and cats. I obtained my vet assistant certification to learn how to better care for my pets and have enjoyed spoiling them ever since! I'd love to help care for your fur babies. I am currently working until 4pm but I'm available any time after and on weekends. My husband is home during the day so there is always someone home to look after our pets. I have a park very close by along with nature trails for long walks. I have a 6 year old large baby who is able to keep anybody entertained.
“Amy was absolutely amazing with our 3 fur babies!! She took wonderful care of them while we were away! I would definitely recommend her and will use her services again in the future!”
“Nicole was an amazing cat sitter! She was incredibly loving, mindful, and attentive while caring for our cat. Knowing our cat was in such caring hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Nicole was also very flexible and easy to work with, which we truly appreciated. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”
“Caitlyn is awesome! She checked on my cat for us. She is very patient and reliable, and genuinely loves and cares for animals. She even offered to hang out with my cat little longer. Caitlyn also communicated well and sent me many pictures of my cat😻. Definitely recommend!🧡”
“Kady loves and knows animals and it really shows. She's very communicative and professional. Kady went above and beyond to help clean up after a cat having new litter issues. She handled my 4 cats with no issues. I highly recommend her for anyone with cats and multiple animals. I will absolutely use Kady again in the future.”
“That is a great addition—it shows she really understands different cat personalities, from the "spicy" ones who hate grooming to the shy ones. Here is the updated review with those details included: ### Review for Liz **Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** Liz provided incredible care for my three cats while I was away. It is always a bit stressful leaving a multi-cat household, but Liz handled everything with total professionalism and genuine care. She stayed on top of their specific needs, including: * **Medication & Maintenance:** She reliably administered medicine and kept the litter boxes spotless. Food and water were always fresh and topped off. * **Frank:** I loved the updates about her playing with him; she made sure he got plenty of exercise with his favorite laser toy! * **Rudy:** She even managed to give Rudy a good brushing—something he usually hates when I do it! She clearly has a magic touch. * **Ryan:** For my hider, Ryan, Liz took the time to find her every day just to lay eyes on her and make sure she was safe and doing okay. It’s clear Liz truly loves animals and respects their individual boundaries. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a tidy home. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, patient sitter!”
“Morgan was FANTASTIC! I had never left my cat with anyone except my best friend and was extremely nervous about traveling for the holidays after she moved away. Morgan's expertise and care made it possible for my girl to stay in her comfort zone, and for me to be with family without severe anxiety. He communicated clearly and often, gave me great updates (and photos!), and was the perfect mix of professional and personable. He took plenty of time with her even when he came out on Christmas Day. He clearly understood cat psychology and Cleo adored him for it (I'm a little shocked because she does not typically warm up to people that quickly at all!). All in all I could not be more thrilled to have found a trustworthy source of care for my baby girl, and will definitely be using Morgan again in the future! 🧡”
“Steven was such a pleasure to meet and was extremely accommodating to a complicated drop in situation. He communicated extremely well and was really easy to work with. He even came up with ideas that made leaving our cat and dog even easier. He provided detailed notes with funny commentary, which I appreciated. He treated our pets as if they were his own and we can’t wait to work with him again! Highly recommend giving Steven a try.”
About: Although I do not have cats of my own, I am happy to care for yours! I’ve worked as a cat volunteer at the humane society and pet sit for cats in the past. I have not administered medication to cats, but am happy to learn!
About: I personally have two dogs and two cats. I have spent about half of the last 7 years caring for friends animals ranging from daily visits with cats to a 6 month at one time boarding of a dog. I work full time so am usually out of the house Monday - Friday from 7 to 5. We have a small dog door that leads to a fully fenced backyard so dogs still have access to use the bathroom as needed. I have two dogs and two cats so the type of dog or cat that can stay with us needs to be okay with both. One of the dogs really likes to play with other dogs. He can play pretty aggressively and is also not neutered so I cannot watch unspayed females in my home. One of the cats was chased up a tree by a German Shepard and doesn't respond well to larger dogs if they don't give her her space. We have a setup where the animals sleep together in their own room and are only allowed on the furniture in that room. We have plenty of space and have spare crates if needed. The dogs always have access to a dog door except for when they go to their room at night to sleep. We have two litter boxes set up in different parts of the house and have spares that can be put out.
About: I’ve grown up with multiple dog breeds my whole life. I’ve also owned cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I have 2+ years of experience with taking care of bearded dragons and I’ve had a couple visits with snakes, specifically corn snakes. I work with any and all dogs/cats. I also like to send pics/videos of the pets to their owners daily for that reassurance that their fur baby is taken care of with the upmost care! I’m currently a full-time college student. I’m available any day and any time of the week. I’m usually available last minute as well and around holidays if needed. I currently have 4 dogs; 3 Yorkies and 1 Boarder Collie mix. They’re set on a twice per day feeding and their internal clock is set to those times. If I were to be in a clients home, I would do my best to ensure the animal stays in their routine and their feeding/medication is on schedule. They’d get plenty of play times and unlimited cuddles!
About: I have watched many breeds and types of animals dogs, cats, birds, and more. I look at the type of animal it’s age and many other things to see how that animal needs to be taken care of! I can watch dogs any day on the weekend and most days after 5pm. I work in the military so that is why my schedule is so tight. (Relatively) I care for pets as if they’re my own animal! Animals are sweet and innocent and deserve the world because they take care of us when we need it.
About: *Attention Students, Seniors (65+), and Veterans, please inquire about special rates when messaging me; Proof of veteran/student status required* I have taken care of dogs since childhood. Family and friends have always been able to rely on me when it comes to caring for their pets. My schedule is fairly flexible and can easily be adapted to their needs. While I usually require at least 24 hr notice for a booking, I am willing to accommodate you in the case of an emergency if I am able.For those who live within a 10 mile radius of me, I shall waive the pickup fee. Generally I follow whatever instructions are left and then add in a few enrichment activities. I also make sure they are introduced to the other members of my family so that they can feel comfortable with new strangers. I make sure that strangers do not attempt to pet my clients; this is for everyone’s safety the dog’s included.

“Steven is fantastic. I had a family emergency and the person who normally walked Tully was unavailable. Contacted Steve and he came right away for a meet and greet. My dog is a rescue so he doesn’t always do well with strangers but he was so happy with Steve right away. Steve asked if he could take Tully on a short introductory walk to make sure they were a good match which made me much more comfortable. Definitely would recommend Steve! Amazing with both families and fur babies!”

About: I have been taking care of my friends and families’ pets since I got to VA in 2019 and if I love doing it for free, don’t you worry that I will not love or care about your fur babies.

“Heather was fantastic with our dogs and a pleasure to communicate with. She provided pictures daily and worked easily with us on the meet and greet, drop off and pick up times. We are so thankful to have found Heather and will definitely ask her to watch our dogs again.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Marco and Polo! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in caring and loving hands. She kept us updated, treated them like family, and clearly paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. Marco and Polo came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for — which says everything. Sarah went above and beyond, and her kindness and professionalism truly stood out. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but Sarah made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you again, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of our boys!”
“Ana was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Bella! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and understands animals. She took extra time to make sure Bella was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Ana sent regular updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Bella can be a little shy at first, but Ana’s gentle and patient approach won her over right away. We came home to a very relaxed and happy pup — it was obvious she had been loved and cared for as if she were Ana’s own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Ana, for taking such special care of Bella! We’ll definitely be booking with you again. 🐾”
“Emmanuel provided exceptional care for our dog. We were so lucky finding such a good host during holiday season. Emmanuel has a great home environment and is very easy to work with.”
“Jim again was a super dog caregiver. This is our second long stay with Jim for our dog, Keetna. We had wonderful pictures each day and we could tell during that time and when we picked him up that he was well taken care of (and even loved). Thank you Jim!!!!”
“Connie is simply the best. We left Zeke at her place for a week and she sent us pictures and videos daily! We felt that he was safe and absolutely enjoyed his stay with her.”
“Connie was able to accommodate a last minute booking request. She took excellent care of my pups and sent many pics during their stay. I could tell they were happy and well taken care of! I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Just perfect. Michelle has a lovely home with a nice park and lake area in the backyard for the dogs to enjoy. Very safe area well away from roads. Michelle communicated very well, sent photos and updates, and was completely flexible with drop off and pickup times. Someone was home with my pup all the time and Zoey really seemed to love her stay with Michelle. Highly recommended.”
“CiCi and Nick took such good care of my pup while we were traveling. They were very flexible and made sure everything went extremely smoothly. He instantly seemed right at home with them. They sent updates and photos everyday and from the goofy smile on his face it looked like he was having the time of his life. They had plenty of space for him to run around and he very quickly made friends with their adorable Dalmatian. I will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“Scout was not ready to leave this house. David and his family were amazing sitters and will be hearing from me the next time I require care. Thank you guys for taking such great care of Scout!!”
