We Had the pleasure of using Britanny to watch over our sweet millie and it was a great experience. Britanny made sure she kept us in the loop and put all of our worries to rest with updates,pics, Etc. Being that it was our first time ever using a sitter, she made our stay away from millie extremely pleasant. Thank you again Brittany. I would highly recommend.

Cheyanne took amazing care of my two cats while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with animals. She sent regular updates, which gave me a lot of peace of mind, and it was obvious my cats were comfortable and well cared for. What really stood out was how patient and attentive she was with them. She made sure they were not only fed and safe, but also happy and getting attention while I was gone. It meant a lot to come back knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend Cheyanne to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

This was the longest I have ever been away from Simba (8 days)…he started off slow but Priscilla took care of him as if he was her own. She didn’t hide the fact that he was sad the 1st night…many sitters would have just said he is doing great. She made him feel at home and loved on him like I would. I appreciate Priscilla’s commitment and would highly recommend her for your pet.

A great experience again! If I could give ten stars ….. I would. Audrey is wonderful with my kitties. One of mine went missing the day before the reservation and since Audrey lives near, I asked her to keep an eye out. She went above and beyond, helped by posting on lost pets sites, and she was reaching out to the community to help me find live traps. I found the kitty before I went out of town (thank goodness), but only a true animal lover would dive in and help like that! Thank you for your help, and taking wonderful care of my babies while I am away.

About: Animals have always been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home where there were always dogs and cats around, caring for them wasn’t just a responsibility, it was part of daily life. Over the years, I have personally raised and cared for three dogs of my own, each with different personalities and needs, which taught me patience, structure, and how to connect with animals on an individual level. Most recently, I adopted another dog into the family, adding even more joy and playful to the house. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I have experienced it all training, playtime, feeding routines, crate care, walks, and of course, lots of cuddles. Whether your pet is shy or social, active or relaxed, we understand how to make them feel safe, loved, and at home. I have a partner who has been pet sitting for her friends and co-workers last 4 years. I work at shipyard, but my work is pretty flexible that I can check out our dogs or any other pet frequently to make sure they receive enough attention love and most importantly care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm and secure environment where dogs can relax and be themselves. I have a fully fenced big yard for safe outdoor play, and I supervise all interactions to make sure everyone is happy and comfortable. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding schedules to crate preferences and bedtime habits — so they feel right at home. I never use harsh corrections; instead, I rely on positive reinforcement, patience, and gentle guidance. I also keep my home clean, pet-proofed, and free of anything unsafe. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, we make sure they always feel safe, respect. I will keep sending regular updates and pictures or videos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands

About: I’ve had a deep love for cats for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was little, I’ve been around cats and learned how to handle them gently, patiently, and with respect for their unique personalities. I treat every cat as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. Any chance I get to spend time with a cat, I take it, I genuinely enjoy giving them affection, cuddles (when they want them!), and plenty of attention. I love babying cats, talking to them, playing with them, and making sure they never feel ignored. I understand that cats need both love and space, and I always follow their cues to give them exactly what they deserve: care, comfort, and lots of love.

About: Cat sitting is a calm and rewarding experience. When I arrive, I make sure the cat has fresh food, water, and a clean litter box. At first, some cats may be shy and keep their distance, so I give them space and move gently around them. Over time, the cats become more comfortable. Some will come up for attention, while others prefer to relax nearby. I follow their routine and pay attention to their behavior to make sure they are happy and healthy. Cat sitting is about being patient, respectful, and making sure the cat feels safe and cared for while their owner is away.

About: I’ve been lucky enough to share my life with dogs for over 30 years. From small lap pups to large, energetic breeds, I’ve cared for them all. Dogs have always been a part of my family, and right now I share my home with my sweet 8 year-old Shih Tzu, who keeps me laughing and loves making new friends. I’m patient, gentle, and completely committed to giving every dog I meet the same level of love, safety, and attention I give my own. I’m currently retired and am available most days to care for your dog or cat. I am willing to work with you on times if needed. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment that matches each pet’s normal routine and energy level. I follow feeding schedules, walking times, and any special instructions exactly as given.

⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Highly recommended! Christene is absolutely wonderful! From the moment I met her, it was clear she’s professional, cordial, caring, and truly loves animals. Her experience really shows, and we could tell she treated our pets as if they were her own. We came to Williamsburg for a long weekend, and Christene gave us total peace of mind while watching our two dogs. She has an ample fenced-in yard our dogs absolutely loved—they ran and played joyfully with her own dog and even met her cat! Many of the videos she sent showed them happily exploring and having the time of their lives. Christene is trustworthy, flexible, and everything you’d want in a sitter. We couldn’t recommend her more highly—whether you’re visiting Williamsburg or live locally, Christene is the one to call if you want your pets in the very best hands!

We Had the pleasure of using Britanny to watch over our sweet millie and it was a great experience. Britanny made sure she kept us in the loop and put all of our worries to rest with updates,pics, Etc. Being that it was our first time ever using a sitter, she made our stay away from millie extremely pleasant. Thank you again Brittany. I would highly recommend.

Cristen and her family are wonderful to work with. It’s clear they love animals and treat all the dogs that stay with them as their own. Would definitely recommend them!

Jackie was awesome!! This is the second time we left our babies with her. The babies were taken care of very well and enjoyed themselves while in her care. Jackie kept us up to date on how the babies were doing and sent several pictures that put us at ease and let us enjoy ourselves knowing that they were having a good time. Would definitely highly recommend Jackie, and we will definitely hire her again.

I’m so glad I found Shanae, I was at ease while I was away. I loved the pics and videos she sent daily. I felt like my Frankie preferred being in a home environment where he can get 1:1 attention versus a boarding facility with dozens of other dogs.

Our dog chief was in the best of hands with Scott and Lyra! They loved on him like he was their own and we had so much peace of mind with him at their home. When we picked him up, he was actually sad to leave ! That’s some pretty high praise from a dog right there. Thanks guys - you are the absolute best !

Cheyanne took amazing care of my two cats while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with animals. She sent regular updates, which gave me a lot of peace of mind, and it was obvious my cats were comfortable and well cared for. What really stood out was how patient and attentive she was with them. She made sure they were not only fed and safe, but also happy and getting attention while I was gone. It meant a lot to come back knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend Cheyanne to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Absolutely loved her! She did wonderful with my puppy, Axel! 10/10 recommend! I was worried about anyone watching him overnight, because he is still so young but she did a phenomenal job! I received several updates, photos, and videos of how Axel was doing and he loved it over there! ❤️🐾

Kamie and Patrick are the absolute best! We got the most amazing updates — both written, video, and photos— and the amount of love and attention Apollo got was absolutely heartwarming. We really appreciated everything they did to make Apollo feel loved while we were away ❤️

Megan was amazing I recently boarded my rescue Prince for the first time, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Megan took such amazing care of Prince during his two-night stay. She went above and beyond—sending me some of the best photos and videos I’ve ever had of him, including clips of him playing and socializing with larger dogs (which was a first for him!). It meant so much to see him having that kind of fun and confidence. Megan also kept me updated with daily “doggy report cards” and personalized notes, which were such a thoughtful touch. When I picked him up, it was clear he had an incredible time—he was almost sad to leave! He even made a new best friend with her dog, Kava. I’m so grateful for the care and attention Megan gave, and I will absolutely be booking with her again. Truly a 5-star experience from start to finish!
