“Cheyanne did a great job of taking care of Betty White while we were on vacation! She sent pictures on a daily basis to show us how she was doing and also gave her a couple of baths while she was there because she got muddy in the backyard. She was also very kind and bought her a new dog bed because the one that we sent got very muddy one day.”
“Lyra and Scott and their family totally loved on our little Sassafras. We are so appreciative of their care and all the pictures and updates. I would recommend them to anyone looking for care for their fur babies. Will use them again! ?”
“Paul and Terri were exceptional. They were professional in all their communications, sent many picutres, and kept us up-to-date with all the happenings with Nala. I appreciated their flexibility and that they cared for Nala as if she was one of theirs. Thank you, Paul and Terri”
“Amanda and Scott were excellent with our dog. We were visiting the area for the day and were willing to watch her for a limited time. They sent photos and were so welcoming. I would highly recommend them if you are in the Williamsburg area. I will plan to use them again when we come back. Our dog had a great time!!”
“Thank you so much for loving Winnie! She enjoyed her visit with you all. She has been sound asleep since we got her home. We look forward to seeing you again soon!”
“This was Kai's second stay with Teona and Lou. I was very impressed with the love and care my pup received. They opened the door and their hearts to my baby. Teona is very professional and thoughtful. She sent us pictures, videos, and messages every day. It is a pleasure to hear that your puppy is well and happy. Kai played in their yard every day and Teona also took her for a walk. She took care to feed her properly and gave her massages. Kai had a spa treatment for two weeks. I am very impressed with their professional and care. I already booked another stay with them.”
“Excellent service she treats pets the way great owners treat theirs. Provided daily updates for the week while I was away for work. Cannot recommend enough and also Elsa likes to get stinky by breed nature but smelled great on arrival so that was nice also.”
“Great communication prior to sitting…they were very accommodating. We received consistent pictures and dogs were happy and healthy when they were picked up. I will definitely use them again.”
“If I could give 10 stars, I would do so!! I recently moved to Virginia and needed to board my beagle for an out of town trip. I was very anxious because I haven’t connected with a place that I felt comfortable leaving him. Roxana put my fears to rest immediately. The frequent updates, photos and videos of my pup having the time of his life eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip. I will 100% book with Roxana again.”
“Sochi second time with MsCrystal, Sochi loves it there.MsCrystal is an awesome, she keep me posted with Sochi, she loves caring for Sochi Thanks you so much! We definitely see you again”
“Mary is AMAZING! Very welcoming and I even got a couple pictures of my fur-baby having the time of her life while hanging out w/Mary, Socks, and another puppers she was sitting. We did a meet-and-greet before officially confirming the booking which solidified my comfort that Koda would be in good care. Mary has a large fenced in yard on a larger plot of land. Her prices are MORE than fair, so I was sure to give her a lil something extra when picking up my girl. THANK YOU MARY!! I know Koda will be happy to see you and Socks again on my next trip. <3”
“Amanda did a fantastic job with Willow. I was impressed with Amanda’s follow up. I received pictures multiple times a day. She understands that Willow is my world. She made sure that I knew that Willow was eating interacting with the other dogs and comfortable where she was. Not only will I rebook with Amanda. I already have.”
“Savannah is amazing. I could tell that my puppers was so happy in her care. She loved playing with her dogs and being outside in the fresh air. I would highly recommend Savannah to care for your dog. I will be contacting her again.”
“Cristen and family were amazing! Wish we had found them before. They took very good care of Asher while we were at our daughter’s graduation. We didn’t have to worry about Asher at all. Wonderful family!”
“Kamie & Patrick are absolutely outstanding!! I am so grateful for both of them and could not ask for a better team taking care of my baby while I am away working. She gets so much love and attention - They spend lots of time playing with her and making her feel like she is at home with them. I definitely hit the jackpot here and there aren't ever enough words to really express my sincere gratitude for the care they give Ellie every visit. I HIGHLY recommend them to watch your pet - you will not find anyone better. Thank you both for loving my girl like she is your own!!”
“Shay and Jake took care of my 9-year old Goldendoodle for a week and were amazing with her! They updated me daily with how she was doing and made sure she got lots of loving and play time/exercise. Shay was great with communicating all the details with me both before and during my dog’s stay and made me feel very at peace with having my dog there! Will definitely be using them again when I need a sitter!”

About: I have had many pets in my life ranging from dogs and cats, to turtles and parakeets. With this, I can promise I am used to all the different personalities pets can offer. Whether they are energetic or apathetic I can promise you your pet is in safe hands. I am currently on break from college and am doing this as a way to make some extra money. I also play semi-professional soccer in Richmond, Va so I schedule any dog care activities around any practices or games. As a pet owner myself, I can follow any special instructions that are required for your pet. Whether its giving medication, feeding instructions, walking habits, etc. I promise to prioritize your pets needs as if they were my own.
About: I have had cats since I was little, so I am very familiar with them! I provide calm, personalized care that respects each cat’s unique personality, routine, and boundaries. I understand that cats thrive in familiar environments, so I focus on maintaining their normal schedule while offering gentle attention, patience, and reassurance on their terms. With attentive observation and reliable communication, I strive to be a quiet, trusted presence that helps your cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve cared for cats with all kinds of personalities, from playful and social to shy and independent. I understand the importance of keeping cats comfortable in their own space, maintaining their routines, and giving them the attention and patience they need. Along with years of caring for my own pets, I currently work in a pet daycare where I handle animals daily and focus on their safety, comfort, and well being.
“Chelsea did a wonderful job! She was greeted with a puke mess on the carpet to clean up. So sorry about that! Sienna did well--as much as she does when I'm gone. I'm sure she enjoyed getting out for a walk.”
“Peyton was Great!! She made time to stop by in advance tomake sure me and Bentley were comfortable with her. It nice to walk her through the steps needed. She was very accommodating and super sweet. Very good communication and no issues. Bentley loved her and we'll definitely use Peyton again in the future.”
About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was young and love to be around all animals! I used to nanny for a family with 5 kids and they had a wonderful dog that I always helped to care for! Feeding and taking him to the groomers and vet appointments…all things that I was lucky to get to help with! I also used to care for 2 cats (both needing to take medication) and a bull dog on a daily basis! I have a Jack Russell (that just passed away) myself that I had for about 10+ years and no kids do she was my only fur baby! I have recently in the past year gotten a brand new puppy named Sugar! She is a beagle/terrier/lab mix and 25 pounds of Adorableness! She is so sweet And absolutely my little girl, as she follows me everywhere and tries to be wherever I am, and always under foot!!! She’s a little skittish and still all puppy at eight months! So I am no stranger to puppy needs at all! I also have Bella, who is a pit/beagle mix and she is a little over a year and a half old! She is 60 pounds of crazy but happy and smart and always at my husband side! What a love bug! But remember, with pets, there is no personal space! Lol I love pets of all kinds and will care for them as if they were my own! Snuggles are free!!! I am currently a part-time private nanny, to a bunch of different families who may need care for their little ones day a week, and my schedule is always changing from week to week so my availability will always be changing. But,I will try to keep my Rover calendar up-to-date as I hope more of you reach out! The plan is is turn this into a full-time gig so I will have probably more availability as time goes on towards the end of this year, but I’m hoping to find some regular clients that will book with me on a consistent basis! Plus, I’m really looking forward to all the pet snuggles! I am always very mindful of the time for feedings and walks…any medication will be given correctly and timely…I will make sure your home is locked up after I leave from a walk and/or feeding! Please know that I will do my best to. Gain the trust of the animal! Cats too! I do highly recommend a meet & greet ahead of time so we can meet pet parents and also meet dog(s)! Let’s them see me and hopefully remember me and feel comfortable with me in their house!

If you prefer daytime/evening visits only without overnight stays, please book via my Drop-In rates!)

“Ginny is amazing! My dog warmed up to her as soon as she stepped in and Ginny made us all feel super comfortable about her care. Would strongly recommend, and we will be using her regular!”
“I can’t recommend Kaylan enough! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond, not just checking the boxes, but truly caring for my animals like they were her own. Her updates were the perfect mix of hilarious and helpful (seriously, I looked forward to them like a mini comedy show), and they gave me total peace of mind while I was away. The real magic? My skittish barn cat, who usually acts like humans are a myth, actually walked past her like she belonged there. That’s a miracle in itself and says everything about her energy and patience. She clearly has a genuine knack for animals, even the tough cookies. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only responsible but has a true gift with animals (and a great sense of humor), Kaylan is the one!”
“Amazing services and a total Godsend! Did an awesome job with Cooper the cat and future business is a must. You want the best, well here she is. Extremely flexible and helped me during a challenging time. Hard to find amazing help and services like this period...”

We look forward to leaving Kona with Maggie for a few nights later this month. We think it is a good fit and that he will be happy which is very important to us. Thank you Maggie for taking good care of our boy. Mike and Kay Chase”
“Samantha was excellent! We had a last-minute need for doggy daycare with only about two hours’ notice, and she was incredibly accommodating and helpful. She took great care of both of our dogs, Orion and Luna. Orion can be anxious in new situations, so it was especially nice to see that he seemed comfortable and relaxed with her. Both dogs came home happy, which says a lot! We really appreciated her flexibility and the great care she gave them. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Amanda is hands down a five-star sitter! She watched my dog all day and did an incredible job managing her high energy; she really went above and beyond to get all those "zoomies" out, and I picked up a very happy, tired pup. Her communication was also top-notch throughout the day, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone reliable who truly knows how to engage with dogs, I highly recommend booking with Amanda!”
“This family takes great care of our pup. When I pulled into the drive and Rosy recognized where we were, she was super excited! They love her and Rosy loves them right back!”
“Abby, had great communication with me while our pup was there. She sent me pics which helped put our minds at ease. What sold me on her was that within 5 minutes of me reaching out with our dogs info and request for care she responded back with her address ready to take him immediately. If we’re ever in the area again we will definitely be using her services!”

Well experienced in taking care of multiple animals in a home. I’m well also used to talking care of cats needs, including their needs for space, litter, and playtime.

At home I feed my cat in the morning and early evening, cleaning litter daily and frequent water changes. For my dogs who are maremmas they require specific dietary needs so I cook for them as well as feed them regular kibble. One of my dogs had also specific medical needs.

“Shawna was fantastic! We were traveling down to VA for a funeral and needed care at the last minute. Shawna was super responsive and very warm to work with. She worked wit hour schedule as it kept changing and our pup had a fantastic time. Will definitely book again next time we are in the area!”
“Sandra was fantastic! We needed to leave our dog Samwise with somebody during an appointment because he gets separation anxiety in new places and she was flexible and very communicative.”

About: I grew up with many dogs of all sizes and personalities — from calm seniors to hyper puppies — and we also fostered animals growing up.

My husband works outside of the home, but he’s happy to help and loves animals too! We have three kids (infant to 8 years old) who absolutely adore animals, and we welcome both dogs and cats of all personalities. While our 2.5-acre yard isn’t fenced, we have a dog trolley system that allows pets to safely explore and enjoy the outdoors while leashed. We also love walks, playtime, and games of fetch for dogs who enjoy daily exercise. With us, your furry family members will receive lots of love, attention, and supervision throughout the day! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so she’s available to care for pets throughout the day. My husband is home outside of my work schedule, so together we can provide attention, supervision, and love for your dog or cat almost all day. Safety: Your pet’s safety is our top priority.

I highly recommend her and her services!”

I make an excellent house/petsitter due to my experience with and love for animals and my tidy and loving personality! ** I charge $45 / night for 1-6 night house stays, but have a sliding scale for longer sits (negotiable at the time of request). I am open to traveling farther distances for 1+ week sits. I am attending VCU for my MSW M-F from 8-4, so I have limited availability for midday potty breaks/check-ins during the week, but I have open availability most evenings and weekends. For boarding requests, my partner works from my home and is available to offer potty breaks/check-ins for pets while I’m at school. I’m happy with staying overnight for housesitting or sharing my home for boarding! I have the utmost care and respect for my clients pets and homes and treat them as if they were my own. I make sure to communicate expectations as best as possible to make sure we’re all on the same page.
About: I’m the family pet sitter because not only do I follow their routine but I make sure my sweeties are loved and entertained. I’m a nursing assistant part time so I have loads of hospitality experience! I’m a nursing assistant part time I’m usually working weekends which makes me more available during the week to stop by or even sit and entertain your sweeties! I don’t have a fenced backyard and my pup is a little feisty so i’d prefer to come to them but that just allows your pup to stay in the comfort of their home and again I have experience with doing drop ins for plenty of my family & friends!
About: Energetic person looking to take care of energetic dogs. I love animals and love to take care of them. I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I’ve had a variety of breeds like Chihuahua, German Shepherds, Beagle, Terrier, Retrievers. Many of my pets were abused and shelter animals. I have experience with both large and small dogs. I’m comfortable with Mastiffs and Rottweilers. Most dogs love me even ones that are typically shy around strangers. You won't be sorry hiring me. I will take care of your dogs like they are my own. I think they can sense when a good person is around. I think dogs are one of the smartest and most intuitive animals around. I love to play with dogs and love taking them on walks. We can even play fetch or cuddle, whatever they like. You can trust me with your dogs and have no worries they are being taken care of properly. I will be your pet’s BFF. My schedule is flexible and I am a non-smoker.

“Cheyanne did a great job of taking care of Betty White while we were on vacation! She sent pictures on a daily basis to show us how she was doing and also gave her a couple of baths while she was there because she got muddy in the backyard. She was also very kind and bought her a new dog bed because the one that we sent got very muddy one day.”
“Lyra and Scott and their family totally loved on our little Sassafras. We are so appreciative of their care and all the pictures and updates. I would recommend them to anyone looking for care for their fur babies. Will use them again! ?”
“Amanda and Scott were excellent with our dog. We were visiting the area for the day and were willing to watch her for a limited time. They sent photos and were so welcoming. I would highly recommend them if you are in the Williamsburg area. I will plan to use them again when we come back. Our dog had a great time!!”
“Thank you so much for loving Winnie! She enjoyed her visit with you all. She has been sound asleep since we got her home. We look forward to seeing you again soon!”
“This was Kai's second stay with Teona and Lou. I was very impressed with the love and care my pup received. They opened the door and their hearts to my baby. Teona is very professional and thoughtful. She sent us pictures, videos, and messages every day. It is a pleasure to hear that your puppy is well and happy. Kai played in their yard every day and Teona also took her for a walk. She took care to feed her properly and gave her massages. Kai had a spa treatment for two weeks. I am very impressed with their professional and care. I already booked another stay with them.”
“Great communication prior to sitting…they were very accommodating. We received consistent pictures and dogs were happy and healthy when they were picked up. I will definitely use them again.”
“If I could give 10 stars, I would do so!! I recently moved to Virginia and needed to board my beagle for an out of town trip. I was very anxious because I haven’t connected with a place that I felt comfortable leaving him. Roxana put my fears to rest immediately. The frequent updates, photos and videos of my pup having the time of his life eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip. I will 100% book with Roxana again.”
“Sochi second time with MsCrystal, Sochi loves it there.MsCrystal is an awesome, she keep me posted with Sochi, she loves caring for Sochi Thanks you so much! We definitely see you again”
“Mary is AMAZING! Very welcoming and I even got a couple pictures of my fur-baby having the time of her life while hanging out w/Mary, Socks, and another puppers she was sitting. We did a meet-and-greet before officially confirming the booking which solidified my comfort that Koda would be in good care. Mary has a large fenced in yard on a larger plot of land. Her prices are MORE than fair, so I was sure to give her a lil something extra when picking up my girl. THANK YOU MARY!! I know Koda will be happy to see you and Socks again on my next trip. <3”
“Amanda did a fantastic job with Willow. I was impressed with Amanda’s follow up. I received pictures multiple times a day. She understands that Willow is my world. She made sure that I knew that Willow was eating interacting with the other dogs and comfortable where she was. Not only will I rebook with Amanda. I already have.”
“Savannah is amazing. I could tell that my puppers was so happy in her care. She loved playing with her dogs and being outside in the fresh air. I would highly recommend Savannah to care for your dog. I will be contacting her again.”
“Cristen and family were amazing! Wish we had found them before. They took very good care of Asher while we were at our daughter’s graduation. We didn’t have to worry about Asher at all. Wonderful family!”
“Kamie & Patrick are absolutely outstanding!! I am so grateful for both of them and could not ask for a better team taking care of my baby while I am away working. She gets so much love and attention - They spend lots of time playing with her and making her feel like she is at home with them. I definitely hit the jackpot here and there aren't ever enough words to really express my sincere gratitude for the care they give Ellie every visit. I HIGHLY recommend them to watch your pet - you will not find anyone better. Thank you both for loving my girl like she is your own!!”
“Shay and Jake took care of my 9-year old Goldendoodle for a week and were amazing with her! They updated me daily with how she was doing and made sure she got lots of loving and play time/exercise. Shay was great with communicating all the details with me both before and during my dog’s stay and made me feel very at peace with having my dog there! Will definitely be using them again when I need a sitter!”
“Hillary did an exceptional job with our three dogs! She kept us informed through frequent updates and photos of our furry companions playing with her children. The dogs always seemed delighted and cherished, receiving all the attention they deserved. It was a delightful feeling to know that our dogs were having a wonderful time while we were away. Upon our return, they appeared relaxed and rejuvenated, ready to greet us with enthusiasm.”
About: I’ve had pets for most of my life. I’ve had two cats and three dogs. My three dogs all weigh over 120 pounds and I am able and used to taking care of big dogs. Well experienced in taking care of multiple animals in a home. I’m well also used to talking care of cats needs, including their needs for space, litter, and playtime. I also enjoy spending time with any animal. I am flexible and free to help whenever needed. When I return to college I’ll balance helping out with your fluffy friends and my academics I will customise my service based on client needs. At home I feed my cat in the morning and early evening, cleaning litter daily and frequent water changes. For my dogs who are maremmas they require specific dietary needs so I cook for them as well as feed them regular kibble. One of my dogs had also specific medical needs.
“Max had a great time with Lana and her family. Lana could not have been more gracious and accommodating. Her fenced yard provided a safe environment for Max to explore. I would give her 10 stars if I could!”
