“Crystal was very patient and caring with Justice. She provided consistent updates throughout his stay and went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable boarding with her.”
“Omari’s was great with my dog indie, I was worried because she is very high energy and can get in to stuff if bored but she was well taken care of! Will book again with them”
“Lauryn was an incredible sitter! She accommodated all of my dogs’ needs and likes. She took care of my boys, Ace and Adonis, as if they were her own. I loved that she sent pictures and videos of them every day. It was such a bonus and put my mind at ease to see them having fun while I was away. I highly recommend her and we will be back! 🐾😊 Thank you Lauryn!”
“Jared was wonderful caring for Bazooka! He sent me pictures everyday so I was able to see what they were up to. Bazooka looked like he was very comfortable throughout his visit; which says a lot about the environment he was in, as cats tend to be skittish in new places. I would absolutely recommend booking Jared.”
“We could not have been happier. Lyra & Scott were absolutely wonderful. We received pictures daily pictures. They let us know daily how he was doing. Dave and I will definitely be calling for them to take care of Raider again. And anyone would be very happy to have them taking care of there pet.”
“Jackie was amazing taking care of my Teddy. He took to her right away and she reassured me the whole week he was with her with status updates and pics. I highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“I was looking for sitters and came across Amanda and Scott. They were very accommodating from beginning to end. I received daily updates and pictures of Arya for the duration of her stay. And Arya seemed to enjoy herself and make a new friend in Walter and their daughter! I will definitely use Amanda and Scott again in the future! 10/10 would recommend again!”
“Allie is very calm and happy. Just what I want when she comes home. She was treated so very well. Would definitely trust Bryan and his family and use their services again in the future”
“So glad we found Hillary and her family! It was so easy to enjoy our son’s graduation weekend, knowing our aging Golden was in good hands. He was loved on, exercised, and made part of the family while he was there ❤️”
“Rodney took such great care of our Grady while we were away for a week! Grady is a Velcro-type dog, always wanting to be near his humans & experiences separation anxiety. Rodney sent us pics & reports once to twice a day to assure us Grady was doing well. Took him for lots of walks and gave him lots of attention. So grateful to Rodney for caring for our silly boy and putting our minds at ease so we could fully enjoy our trip!”
“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 dogs are also so excited and happy when we leave them. They have playmates and a large yard to run around in. The pictures are great to see how our dogs are doing and let us know they are being cared for and having fun. Stephanie is always very quick to respond to any message.”
“Amazing and accommodating when had to extend at last minute. Really sweet and nice people. Notified me when stool was soft and kept monitoring. Will book again.”
“My lil pup thoroughly enjoyed his stay with Janel. She sent multiple pictures each day of him playing and cuddling with the other pups. I will definitely rebook with Janel.”
“Kacie was amazing!! She took such great care of our fur baby. She was great from the meet and greet up until we picked our dog up after a long weekend. Wonderful communication, flexible with scheduling changes and sent us pictures every day! We will definitely ask for her next time we go out of town!”
“I love the fact that Constance arranges a meet and greet prior to the stay to make sure my baby is comfortable. He thoroughly enjoyed his stay! Sweetest family and pets ever!”
“Robin is Absolutely amazing!! Sweet and loving to me and to my baby Teddy! She kept checking in and letting me know how he was doing. I felt like I made a friend in her. I highly recommend her and will use her again and again! I've already referred her to my friend!”
“Emily was amazing with my cat Juno! She was flexible with scheduling and helped me get Juno into her kennel (easier said than done). Emily also made sure Juno was well fed and gave me an update on how she did during her stay. As a new cat dad, I really appreciated how friendly Emily was!”

“Genevieve took wonderful care of our cat Brody at our house. He was his usual fat happy self when we got home. She also daily updated us how he was doing and sent pics. She was very respectful of our house during her stay. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring pet and house sitter, we highly recommend her.”
“Savannah was Super! She stepped in on short notice and gave Bella and Hobbes so much thoughtful care and loving playtime. It made a huge difference knowing they were in such good hands. We’re so thankful for her kindness, flexibility, and the way she really connects with our pets. Can’t wait to have her back!”
About: I’m an experienced pet owner and animal lover who has cared for a wide variety of animals, including cats, kittens, senior cats, ferrets, and dogs of different breeds and sizes. This experience helps me quickly recognize each pet’s unique personality, comfort level, and care needs. I can provide attentive and dependable support while you’re away. I’m also comfortable caring for both friendly and reactive dogs. I have firsthand experience caring for puppies. I understand the extra patience, consistency, supervision, and positive reinforcement they require. I’ve had my husky since she was a puppy, giving me experience with every stage of her development. This has helped me understand how a dog’s needs change from puppyhood through adulthood. I can provide thoughtful, age-appropriate care for both puppies and adult dogs. I currently care for a husky, a boa constrictor, and a Green Bottle Blue tarantula. My experience with exotic pets has made me comfortable following specialized care instructions. I’m also experienced with maintaining precise routines and paying close attention to details that are important for an animal’s health and well-being. Pet care is currently my part-time work. My primary profession involves working with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This work has strengthened my patience, communication skills, attention to detail, and ability to follow individualized routines. These skills directly benefit my clients by helping me provide calm, consistent, and personalized care for each pet. I understand the importance of clear communication with owners. I will keep you informed about how your pet is doing. I hope to continue building on these skills as I work with, train, rehabilitate, and study animals. My future goals include working primarily with dogs, exotic animals, and aquatic animals. I understand that every animal has its own personality, boundaries, and individual needs. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and maintaining established routines. This helps pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable caring for pets that are shy, high-energy, reactive, or slow to warm up to new people. I respect each animal’s boundaries and allow them to interact at their own pace. I provide gentle encouragement, patience, and reassurance. My goal is to build trust and create a positive experience for both pets and their owners. I can provide drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, basic enclosure care, and companionship. I’ll care for your pets with the same attention, patience, and respect that I give my own animals. You can feel confident knowing they are in dependable and compassionate hands. My schedule is mostly remote and very flexible. I am available most days and times on both weekends and week days. I do travel sometimes for my full-time job, which would be the main reason I would not be available. I care for my pets as part of my daily routine and make sure their individual needs are met throughout the day. My husky receives regular potty breaks, walks, exercise, playtime, feeding, attention, and downtime. I’ve had her since she was a puppy, so caring for her has been a consistent part of my life for years. I also care for a boa constrictor and a Green Bottle Blue tarantula. I maintain their enclosures and monitor their temperature, humidity, feeding, water, and overall environment based on their individual needs. Their enclosures are kept secure and separate from my other pets. With any animal in my care, I pay attention to behavior and body language, provide appropriate enrichment and interaction, and make adjustments when I notice their needs have changed. I prioritize safety, consistency, cleanliness, and making sure each animal receives the level of care and attention appropriate for their species and personality.
“I was a little nervous about finding a new sitter for an overseas trip (no one I'd booked with previously was available), but Nicole was really nice and even my more reserved cat who usually runs from strangers made herself visible during the meet and greet. Nicole was on time each day I was gone and sent cute photos that proved the cats were eating well and interacting with her, and I came home to safe, happy kitties with clean litter boxes. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Alesscia took such great care of my babies and sent so many wonderful pictures. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the care, updates, photos, and love shown to Drifter and Moscow.”
“This is my second time using Lisa and her daughter to do drop in visits on my kitty. Their love for animals is apparent in the pictures I receive which provides peace of mind while i am away. I highly recommend Lisa.”
“Maggie was very responsive, communicated regularly and respectful of our home and time away. Our kitties weren’t cooperative, but Maggie made the best of it😊. We will book with her again when we go out of town.”
“Alexandra was a Great Pet Sitter!! My kitties loved her and she took excellent care of them. I was thrilled will her attention to what was important to me in their care!! B”
About: I love all animals! I grew up with family dogs, and I have done petsitting for puppies and elderly dogs for friends and family, and seasonally worked on a farm where I worked with guardian dogs, sheep, cows, and chickens. I'd be so excited to take care of your pets with the love and affection they deserve! I work on weekends, so I'm available for dog walking during the day Monday-Thursday for the most part. Would love to walk dogs or sit for them in your home! Unfortunately my home can't accommodate animal boarding. I love to give animals affection and proper care. Good outside time, exploring, playing, and order are all important for making animals feel safe and secure.
“Holli was above and beyond while watching my cats! She is so kind and responsible, and was even able to get our shyest cat to greet her! Not only did she give constant updates, but was also incredible flexible and responsive through out her stay. I can’t recommend Holli enough as I am 100% certain your pets will be in the best care! I will for sure be contacting Holli in the future :)”
“It is a pleasure to have Christina take care of my pet in my absence. My cat is elderly, in decline physically and hadn’t seen Christina in a year and yet she did so well with Christina’s TLC and attention. Lots of dedication and care provided by this caregiver and fully worthy of five stars. Thank you, Christina!”
About: I have hands-on experience rescuing cats and administering medication. I’ve cared for cats in multiple homes, providing both pet sitting and house sitting. I’m attentive to their needs and comfortable cleaning litter boxes and maintaining a clean, safe environment.
“We and our kitties love Destiny. She's so great at taking care of all of us, including sending us updates and photos (and, when needed, shoveling her way to the door!). Highly recommend her.”
“Midori was absolutely wonderful. It was my first time leaving my cat in the hands of a pet sitter but Midori made it very easy. I also had a problem with the automatic dispenser, it wouldn’t work and i had already left town but she was able to go in and fix it for me even though she wasn’t due to drop in until the day after. Thanks Midori!!”
“Our two kitties seemed very happy and healthy while we were gone! Especially my anxious cat, who is always weary of pet sitters and doesn’t warm up very well! We will definitely be booking again!”

“Sometimes you just know your dog had a good time! Maisey came back smiling. Jared was easy to work with and had great communication. He sent pictures of Maisey having fun and drop off and pick up were simple and smooth. Will definitely try to book Jared in the future!”
“Fantastic experience. Scott and Lyra treated Orbit like one of their own. The second day we dropped him off, Orbit ran over to them wagging his tail. He was happy to visit them again. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up taking care of dogs in my neighborhood as a kid and teenager. I have always had a big love for furr animals! I work a very flexible schedule during the week that allows me to have last minute changes or needs to take care of if need be! My wife is also home with our toddler, so dogs are almost always with company. I live in a quiet apartment complex with not a lot of traffic, but lots of walking trails and a dog park that my dog Koda enjoys!
“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!”
“My pups loved their visit with Shawna. She sent lots of pics so we could see how they spent the day, which was much appreciated. We will definitely bring the dogs to her again!”
About: I have several years of experience caring for a wide range of animals, from beloved furry companions to fish and even large reptiles. My passion for animals began at a young age, inspired in part by countless hours watching Animal Planet, which helped spark my curiosity and deepen my understanding of animal behavior. Over the years, I’ve developed a natural ability to connect with animals, especially those that may feel anxious or unsure. I take pride in creating a calm, reassuring environment that helps pets feel safe and loved. For me, pet care isn’t just a responsibility. It’s a heartfelt commitment. After all, our pets are family, and I treat them as such. At this moment, I currently have no pets. But I am open and available to assist with others who do. I’m pretty flexible. My classwork is self paced. It’s all about what the client needs. Believe it or not but some animals do have allergies. So there are a lot of does and don’ts. Other than that, I assure any mess is cleaned up, pets are fed properly and on schedule, and bathroom breaks are given. And of course play time and walks if needed.
“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!”
“Elisabeth was awesome! Ivy enjoyed her time spending the day here, and Elisabeth sent lots of updates, to include photos. Would definitely recommend her to care for your pup as well!”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs ever since I was 14. My family relied on me to feed, walk, play, and bathe the animals. I enjoy my time taking care of the pets/animals around me. I am available 24/7 to care for the pets. I have open availability every day of the week and am indoors for majority of those days. I have an animal park at my apartment that they can run around in and a spacious living room if they want to play. I stay close to them to make sure they well taken care of.
“Meaghan was very friendly and caring towards Mason. She accommodated us with our changing timeline and made it possible to visit Busch Gardens on our way through Williamsburg. If we’re ever back in the area and need a sitter we would definitely book with her again!”
About: I love all animals and will treat them with as much love and care and attention as I would any living creature. All creatures deserve attention, validation, kindness, patience, and love. My specialties :). I work for myself making custom cakes, so have a very flexible schedule for your needs and can adjust as needed! I would love to be a part of your furry child's happiness and fulfillment!! I take great pride in my space and keep a tidy home free of all hazards to fuzzy critters, as I have 3 of my own. I take pride in my integrity and will always be upfront, direct and honest. I consider myself an individual of sound mind and judgment and will respect any space I am in as if it is my own. I love to have fun and animals are a big source of that for me. I never raise my voice and try to maintain a happy and calm environment for all the furry creatures around me.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. To me, every dog deserves patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with good company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I’ll follow your care instructions carefully—from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and walking habits. My goal is to treat your dog like a member of my own family, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, reliable hands. Please note, we board on family at a time, we do not cage the dogs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home, and my wife is home full-time. This means your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. We have a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing affection and companionship, we’re committed to making every pet feel like part of the family while they’re in our care. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, and any special needs or preferences. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and regular potty breaks while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. In my home, pets stay in a clean, safe, and comfortable environment where they are supervised throughout the day. Since I work from home and my wife is home full-time, your pet will have lots of companionship and won’t be left alone for extended periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I provide reliable, attentive care, keep the space tidy, and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“My husband and I were in town on vacation with our dog and she was having separation anxiety when we would leave her alone. So we booked with Sandra & she did awesome. Thank you so much for making our date night relaxing and not worrying about Kona. I would highly recommend Sandra. She was very nice and welcoming into her home and the neighborhood was nice. Thank you again!”
“Sarah did a fabulous job with Reno. He had fun, and she clearly loves having animals around so he felt welcome. She made me feel completely at ease leaving my precious pup for the day!”

“Nicole was exceptional! She was so easy to work with and very pleasant. She showed up on time, and Teddy my Goldendoodle really enjoyed being with her! I will definitely use her again!!!”
“Savanah walked my two dogs while we were out of town and I left them with my mom. She was always on time, and understood one of my dogs because she is very special on where or with who she likes to walk with. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always loved animals, I have a 4 year old Australian Shepherd and he is my whole world. I will treat your fur baby with the love, care, and attention that I show my own fur baby. When I’m watching your pet, they will be safe, happy, and have the best time! I currently work full time, but I am available late evenings on week days and all day on most weekends. I am always happy to be flexible with my schedule. I live in an apartment so my dog gets plenty of walks, outdoor time, mental, and physical stimulation throughout the day. I provide a calming, safe environment in my home for my pup, and I bring that same calm and caring energy to every animal I meet.
About: I have loved animals all my life, and my experience has ranged from caring for my own pets, to short-term and long-term fostering for friends and military families. I have cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, lizards, bunnies, birds and small livestock. I love them and treat them all as though they are my own. I am currently a currently a stay at home mom, and my children are now all school-aged. I care for my animals at home, and I have an open schedule, heart, and home to care for other animals. I have a about 1.3 acres of land with a dedicated (vinyl) fenced in area for dogs so I have plenty of room for outdoor playtime. Indoors, a few of my animals are crated at night based on their individual needs but all walk freely during the day. In your home, I am open to whatever is most comfortable for your pet.
About: I have raised and my own boxer/lab since she was 6 weeks. She is now turning 7 and has a sweet kitty brother! I trained her myself and is a very confident, well mannered pup.

“Gave lots of feedback and answered all of my questions while gone. Oliver warmed up to her over the weekend and everything was in place when I came home. Great job will definitely book again.”
About: I have experience rescuing cats and dogs and administering medication. I’ve also done house sitting and pet sitting for several homes. I enjoy running and playing with dogs to keep them active and happy, and I can also help them stay calm when needed. I offer walks up to 1 hour and can safely handle up to 3 dogs at a time. I’m comfortable cleaning up after pets, changing diapers if needed, and giving medication. I work Mondays and Wednesday–Friday from 7 to 3, and Saturdays from 3 to 11pm. I’m free all day on Tuesdays and Sundays 😊 I adapt to each home and follow the owner’s preferences and routine for their pets. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or keeping their space clean. I always adjust to each pet’s personality and needs.
About: i've taken care of dogs since I was 11 and I've had a cat for almost ten years now. I love spending time with all breeds! I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with, take care of, and love on your fur babies. I'll take care of your animals whichever way you see fit. I have a fenced in back yard and will crate them if you see fit.
About: My family has had dogs forever, ranging from small medium and large so growing up with all kinds of dogs has given me experience in how to handle any situation with any dog! I’m currently a college student and away from my dog at home and am looking for any way to have more interactions with pets. Also, my most recent dog is now 2 years old and I did the majority of training, so if there are any needs or wants for training while I am sitting, I am more than capable. I’m currently a full time student and on the William & Mary Varsity Men’s soccer team, however, I have many breaks throughout my day. The only block of the day I’m usually completely unavailable is from 2-6PM When caring for pets in clients homes you can expect the utmost respect for the home but also a willingness to learn how you usually handle your dog at home. Whether that is using the crate and having some more strict guidelines, or if it is a more relaxed environment.
About: I love taking care of pets with a passion, there has not been a time in my life that I have not had a furry companion by my side!

I’m currently unemployed so I have all the time in the world to take care of your furbabies, I’m just a call away if there is an immediate need! I’m available at just about all times! I care for pets in my clients home and fur-babies as I do my own, if there is a fenced in yard I always double check that gates are locked. I make sure to check their food, water, look around the home to make sure there isn’t anything that needs to be tidied up. I make sure any non-safe objects are out of reach.

“Omari’s was great with my dog indie, I was worried because she is very high energy and can get in to stuff if bored but she was well taken care of! Will book again with them”
“Jared was wonderful caring for Bazooka! He sent me pictures everyday so I was able to see what they were up to. Bazooka looked like he was very comfortable throughout his visit; which says a lot about the environment he was in, as cats tend to be skittish in new places. I would absolutely recommend booking Jared.”
“We could not have been happier. Lyra & Scott were absolutely wonderful. We received pictures daily pictures. They let us know daily how he was doing. Dave and I will definitely be calling for them to take care of Raider again. And anyone would be very happy to have them taking care of there pet.”
“Jackie was amazing taking care of my Teddy. He took to her right away and she reassured me the whole week he was with her with status updates and pics. I highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“I was looking for sitters and came across Amanda and Scott. They were very accommodating from beginning to end. I received daily updates and pictures of Arya for the duration of her stay. And Arya seemed to enjoy herself and make a new friend in Walter and their daughter! I will definitely use Amanda and Scott again in the future! 10/10 would recommend again!”
“Allie is very calm and happy. Just what I want when she comes home. She was treated so very well. Would definitely trust Bryan and his family and use their services again in the future”
“So glad we found Hillary and her family! It was so easy to enjoy our son’s graduation weekend, knowing our aging Golden was in good hands. He was loved on, exercised, and made part of the family while he was there ❤️”
“Rodney took such great care of our Grady while we were away for a week! Grady is a Velcro-type dog, always wanting to be near his humans & experiences separation anxiety. Rodney sent us pics & reports once to twice a day to assure us Grady was doing well. Took him for lots of walks and gave him lots of attention. So grateful to Rodney for caring for our silly boy and putting our minds at ease so we could fully enjoy our trip!”
“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 dogs are also so excited and happy when we leave them. They have playmates and a large yard to run around in. The pictures are great to see how our dogs are doing and let us know they are being cared for and having fun. Stephanie is always very quick to respond to any message.”
“Amazing and accommodating when had to extend at last minute. Really sweet and nice people. Notified me when stool was soft and kept monitoring. Will book again.”
“My lil pup thoroughly enjoyed his stay with Janel. She sent multiple pictures each day of him playing and cuddling with the other pups. I will definitely rebook with Janel.”
“Kacie was amazing!! She took such great care of our fur baby. She was great from the meet and greet up until we picked our dog up after a long weekend. Wonderful communication, flexible with scheduling changes and sent us pictures every day! We will definitely ask for her next time we go out of town!”
“Robin is Absolutely amazing!! Sweet and loving to me and to my baby Teddy! She kept checking in and letting me know how he was doing. I felt like I made a friend in her. I highly recommend her and will use her again and again! I've already referred her to my friend!”
“Emily was amazing with my cat Juno! She was flexible with scheduling and helped me get Juno into her kennel (easier said than done). Emily also made sure Juno was well fed and gave me an update on how she did during her stay. As a new cat dad, I really appreciated how friendly Emily was!”
“Melissa was great ! All paws up here. She truly went above and beyond; she sent us daily updates on our Fancy (pictures and descriptions of her day) so we always knew how she was doing. Will definitely be booking with her again for our next vacation.”
“Teona and Louelyn were great with my dog. He is stubborn about taking his medication. They worked with him several different ways to get him to take it because my dog wouldn't follow the way he does for me at home. I apprecaited their patience and care. I received updates very quickly on the first day. After that, the updates were less frequent, but when I reached out to ask, they were quick to respond. My dog went with them happily which set my heart at ease. This was the first time I had left him with someone other than family. When I picked him up, he was glad to see me, but didn't appear to be anxious or traumatized in any way. When we visit Williamsburg again, I will definitely check with them to keep my dog again.”
“Joseph and Ima were wonderful! They were very easy and kind to work with. Moose got along great with their dogs and had lots of fun! We are very comfortable having them take care of our dog and highly recommend if you’re looking for a great dog sitter!”
