Personalized care for your dog or cat - Williamsburg
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Williamsburg
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats my entire life and cannot remember a time I didn't love them all. My cat is no longer with me but I still have dogs and would love to care for your pets as I currently do my own. I can handle big dogs and little dogs as well as am willing to clean out your cats litterboxes. I'm happy to tussle with big dogs and take naps with lap dogs anytime! I'm a college student looking for work over the breaks and any pet time over the semester as I'll be away from my own. I'm happy to work around my class schedule to be with your pets as much as possible. I have a mostly fenced yard with the only opening being the driveway but intend to do walks and keep pets leashed just for safety. My own home has two dogs that are great with other dogs, both of them being on the smaller side and great with people as well. When I'm up at school there will be no other pets up there and the space will be fully for your pets. I'm also able to do house sitting, walks, and drop-ins for your pets to make sure your pets are getting love and attention when you're away.
“Ariel is an extremely dedicated and kind dog sitter. When our pup was homesick and struggling, she did everything in her power to provide love and security for our dog. She took the dog on long walks to get out the energy and even went out of her way to purchase bones from Petco for our dog to chew on. We are so appreciative.”
“Ken and family did a great job with OllieVader (Ollie for short). Our family went on a short wked trip. Unfortunately NO Dogs Allowed. They cared for him like he was their own. Send pictures of him making himself at home. Drop off and pick-up we're a breeze. Definitely will book again with them.”
“Kelly and her husband are simply amazing. From booking to post-pick-up, their communication was clear and timely. During Leo's stay with them, Kelly sent me photos, videos, and update comments numerous times throughout the day. It made a huge difference for me and my daughter (9 yo) who missed Leo very much during our trip. They were so warm and kind to Leo, and I could tell that they truly cared for the pet they were looking after. They took Leo to exciting walks, let him play off leach in their backyard, and cuddled with him. I know they've done all of this because they send me so many pictures. Leo looked very comfortable and content in the photos and videos. I highly recommend Kelly and her husband!!!”
“Kimberly is the best, she took such great care of my Neco. She cared for him for 6 days through the Thanksgiving Holiday. She sent me great pictures and videos of him daily. She is a true dog lover. I will definitely be booking her again to care for my dog.”
“Chris took wonderful care of our Zoe. From the initial meet and greet Zoe felt at ease with Chris which continued during her stay. Communication was outstanding and put us at ease with leaving our fur baby for a few days. Thanks Chris.”
“Cheryl was amazing! We constantly received pictures and videos of our fur baby and never had to wonder how he was doing. She was also very accommodating of us when we were late to pickup due to our flight being late. Highly recommend!”
“Brittanie and Ryan took great care of our dog, Gunnar! They sent pictures of him every day. He was a happy dog. Their family was very welcoming and easy to work with. We would definitely use them again!”
“Casey and Marwa are the most accommodating and caring dog sitters, we have ever had. They do their best to keep with the routines that Indiana knows and then add extra long walks, treats, brushing, playing, and lots of love. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly. On top of that, they are super-flexible with drop off and pick up times and took Indy in on very short notice. Will definitely be back”
“I felt comfortable leaving my pup with Nicolas. His home a was clean and spacious, and his neighborhood was suitable for dog walking. Would definitely recommend and request to board with him again.”
“Kassandra and her little guy took amazing care of my fur baby, Jax. From the photos, I could tell he was super comfortable and happy with them. She kept me updated every day with pictures and little check-ins about how he was doing, which I really appreciated. I truly can’t thank her enough! If you’re thinking about booking or even just browsing, DO IT. You won’t regret it!”
“Ruth and family made us worry that our two dogs wouldn't want to leave their vacation. Walks, children, room to play indoors and out, late nights, and lots and lots of affection. We will definitely leave them here again!”
“Lingli was so sweet and attentive the entire stay and was great about sending videos and pictures. My cat was taken care of so well and she's a really great communicator.”
“Davida took excellent care of Hades. He’s not the very best friendly dog but at the end of his stayed he got so used to her that was amazing. Davida make sure I received videos and pictures of him and all of the pictures he looked so happy to be there. I’m very careful to who I leave my big puppy like I call him, but I would definitely recommend her”

About: I’ve cared for cats belonging to friends, family members, and clients throughout my life, and I’ve always enjoyed spending time with felines. While I haven’t personally owned a cat, I’ve gained experience interacting with cats of different ages, personalities, and comfort levels. I understand that every cat is unique—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a calm, respectful approach. My goal is to make sure each cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“My cat Tass warmed up to Bronte immediately due to her relaxed and confident manner. She even brought lots of treats for Tass. Definitely will book with Bronte again!”

“This was our first time having Susan for drop in visits for our senior cats, Olivia & Teacup, and we’ll definitely be rebooking!

She gave me thorough updates on them and plenty of photos. I felt like we left our babes in great, thoughtful hands!”

About: I have taken care of animals all of my life. I have had cats all my life, even had 9 once because mama decided to have kittens. I have had mostly medium to small dogs including beagals, Maltese, Lhasa Apso, etc. My sister has a husky and I also help dog sit her as well.

I am very nice and I am willing to follow all steps needed to make your pet(s) feel safe while you are away. I will always have treats for doggies and some catnip for the kitties.
“This was our first time using Rover for our cat Walt. He is slow to warm up to people but Tabitha was great at the meet and greet just going at his pace and not forcing anything. She stopped by for 2 visits and by the second one he was less shy and approached her more easily. I would definitely recommend Tabitha as she was available on short notice and reliable.”
About: I’ve taken care of my cat for the past 10 years. As she has grown into her senior years, I have learned to look for concerns, provide medication, and adjust to her. I know how to clean litter boxes, provide food/water, and clean up any messes!
About: I’ve had multiple cats since I was young. This taught me from a young age how to care for a cat, learn its behaviors, and be a good owner. I’ve cat sit different breeds of cats and have done drop in and overnight care. I love these fur babies so much!
“Truly outstanding! We know our cats are in the very best hands anytime we have to go out of town. Bito always goes above and beyond. Thank you Bito!!”
About: I’ve cared for a family dog and a dog of my own for 1 year. My own dog is a pitbull mix, who was high energy and untrained when I adopted him. I have experience with all kinds of training levels and dog strength and am excited to meet your animal! I also foster dogs when I can I work full time and am out of the house for 9 hours 8-5 Monday-Friday, but my routine includes feeding and a short walk in the morning, followed by an extended walk and dinner in the evenings. Lots of snuggle time at night! I live in a community with a lot of greenery and space to walk dogs, as well as a dog park for them to run around unleashed!
About: Hello Dog Parents! My name is Nima. My wife and I, along with our 9 -year-old pug Roscoe, moved to Baltimore from Oklahoma about 1.5 years ago. I love all dogs and have fostered and sited many dogs from different breeds and ages over the years. I have also volunteered for many local shelters back in Oklahoma and enjoyed every second of the time that I spent with their dogs. Luckily, Roscoe has always been supportive of me taking care of other dogs and sometimes he has even tried to help out by playing with our furry guests and keeping them entertained. He is indeed the goodest boy and I'm very proud of him. I look forward to meeting your dogs and spending time with them.

She was consistently responsive over messages, and was very sweet to our small dog, Gary, during their meet and greet, gently letting him get used to her. He was excited to see her again when we returned for drop off a couple days later. We appreciated the photos of his stay and know he was well looked after.”
About: With 15 years of pet ownership, I pride myself on being patient, reliable, and communicative. I'm a pet owner too, so I know how important it is to stick to your pet's routine and send plenty of updates so you can relax. As a graduate student, I have a very flexible schedule. My campus is only a 10-minute drive away, which means I can easily come home to check on your pet every 2-4 hours, or as often as needed. My neighborhood has plenty of green spaces and safe areas, perfect for long walks and playtime. My home features a secure, fenced-in backyard with plenty of grass, giving your pet a safe space to play and take comfortable potty breaks. I have a friendly, 5-year-old Siberian Husky who loves making new friends. For everyone's safety, he is neutered and kept completely up-to-date on all vaccinations and routine care. I also have an XL dog crate available for your dog's use if that is part of their normal routine.
“Robin made it really easy to drop my dog off and pick him up. He had a great playdate while we were going out for lunch. Robin sent lots of cute pictures and videos.”

About: Hi! I’m Taylor (app won't let me change my name lol), a lifelong animal lover ready to spoil your furbaby. I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets—cats, rabbits, fish, hamsters, turtles—you name it! As a part-time student with a flexible schedule, I’m excited to spend my free time caring for your little one. I’m reliable, patient, and responsive, and I can’t wait to meet your pet—hopefully they’re as excited to meet me! I'm currently a part time student with plenty of time to spare for your furbaby! I am available for boarding and sitting anytime, even during class time since my classes are virtual (my classmates and professors would probably love to see a Zoom cameo from a critter actually, lol!) Every pet has unique needs and personalities, so it's important for me to learn their routine, preferences, and any special needs before a stay. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and household rules. I prioritize safety by keeping a close eye on pets, monitoring for any changes in behavior, and maintaining a clean environment. I know being away from family can be stressful for some animals, so I strive to provide plenty of patience, reassurance, and enrichment to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: Hi, I’m Haile! I’ve taken care of pets ranging from cats and dogs, to other animals. I love any and all animals and will provide attentive and gentle care to all pets that are in my care :) I’m currently going to school full time! I have classes Monday-Thursday, with enough notice (24hrs) I can plan my days around pet care! Fri-Sun I have full availability, and on school breaks. I am reliable with bookings and always will make sure your pets get the time, care, and attention they need! I have hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and other animals, so I’m comfortable working with animals of many different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve cared for playful pets, shy and anxious ones, and those who simply prefer a calm, predictable routine. For cats, I provide patient, low-stress care with attention to feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving them the space when needed. For dogs, I’m experienced with walking, feeding schedules, play, and handling. I always focus on making pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their humans are away! I also have experience handling hedgehogs, including feeding, cleaning cages, and handling them gently and correctly. Because hedgies are sensitive and easily stressed, I’m especially careful about temperature, routine, and quite surroundings. I treat every pet like their my own and always pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and wellbeing so you can feel confident your pets are in good and loving hands!

Dog walking is where my attention and energy will be directed. I'm very flexible in my routine in this way. I will care for your animals in the same loving way I care for my own. I will see that they're not just walked, but given the love and attention you would provide them with.
