They took such great care of our six-year-old Frenchie and our seven-month-old Doberman for five days, and we couldn’t have asked for better sitters. They were patient, attentive, and clearly very comfortable caring for dogs with different energy levels and needs. We received great updates and felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in loving, capable hands. Both dogs came home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved during their stay. We are so grateful for the care they provided and would highly recommend Omaira and Isaac to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and trustworthy sitters. We would absolutely book with them again!”

She truly is the best and we hope she will watch him every time we need her.”

“Aneesa was absolutely AMAZING!!! I cannot thank her enough for the hard work my furry children put her through!!! 😅 She chased and wrangled the bunnies around the house who kept finding ways to escape and was extremely patient with my old man pup who was aggressively protective for the first couple of days, and eventually became great friends after a while! I was so stressed about the chaos as I was away but Aneesa kept calm and had everything under control as well as kept coming up with new ideas to keep things under control until the next check in. She’s so sweet she even took my trash bin back from the road and brought in all my packages that arrived at my doorstep. I would 10000000% recommend her for any of your fur baby needs while you’re away!”
About: Whether your cat is shy, feisty, loving, or cuddly, I have experience with all types. I've been taking care of cats for the past 5 years and have my own, Maui. With my cat-sitting experience, I’m the perfect choice to care for your beloved pet.
“Maryellen is a 5-Star Pet Sitter! She is trustworthy and reliable. She did a great job entertaining & taking care of our two cats. We will definitely use her the next time that we go away.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Carissa was amazing with our 2 cats while we were away. We had a long trip and really needed someone to look after the home as a whole and Carissa turned out to be the perfect person for it. Great communication the whole time and we could tell both our cats, even the shy one, warmed up to her and enjoyed her visits.”
“If I could give Katy 100 stars, I would. She helped us out when our pet sitter bailed out on us at the last minute and I was at the airport just before boarding our flight arranging for a back up sitter. She also helped us with an unexpected errand of being on hand for the Uber courier when we needed help with that. Katy is great about communicating, which is very important to us, and she took very good care of our cats.”
“Thank you again Honey!!! Honey is so amazing and always so attentive when watching our kitties while we’re away! We couldn’t be more appreciative knowing they are in safe hands while we’re gone.”
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.
About: I have taken care of my own dogs, and helped out with others my entire life. Twice in my life we raised a puppy and I helped in training them in tricks and the potty. I also cared for our senior dog who was blind almost solely for 3 years. I love dogs and cats and I just want to help out. I currently work at restaurants on a rotating schedule so my availability fluctuates, but I am always available in the mornings before 11:30am. I would be fully comfortable taking a pet out super early, say 6am, and returning for a later morning session before going to work. I normally get off between 7-9pm, and I would of course return to let them out and play with them after that. My least busy days of the week are Monday, Tuesday, and Friday as those days I don’t normally work the entire day, either 11:30-5 or 4-8. I am super flexible and will accommodate as best I can without my schedule! I love to play with dogs and cats, fetch or tug of war are some of my dogs favorites. But I also love to take dogs on walks, I don’t mind pulling dogs or dogs that run, I can keep up. If a dog needs a little extra attention, and I have the time, I love to pet dogs and cuddle with them. I mostly just want to make the dogs comfortable while their owners are away.
“Olivia did a great job with our senior cat. From our initial meet & greet to and throughout our trip she was kind, knowledgeable, punctual, attentive, and eager to help. We greatly appreciated her updates and photographs, reassuring us our girl was being well cared for in our absence. Many thanks to Olivia, we will definitely be calling on her again in the future.”
“went home for the holidays and ashton was amazing at coming in and feeding my cat! very responsive and reliable! i felt like my cat was in perfect hands while i was away <3”

“Jared was great with Daisy, he also was available for me when plans changed and I needed a last minute day setter so thank you for your flexibility! Next time I’m in town I’ll definitely be reaching back out. Thanks Jared!”
“Had a last minute change of plans. Lyra and Scott were very accommodating and wonderful. They sent pictures and updates throughout the day. Will definitely be a repeat user when back in the Williamsburg area.”
“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!”
“Our Kona's Day Care is coming along quite nicely with Maggie and her family. He is getting to know her children and small dog. 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”
About: My family and friends call me the dog whisperer because I instantly form a special bond with every pup that I meet and care for! My current work schedule allows me the flexibility to be available for walks and potty breaks Monday through Friday 10AM- 2PM. The weekends are based on need. For care in my home I have a 10 year old mixed breed peek-a-poo. He gets along very well with other non aggressive male and female dogs. He is can be shy around other dogs but not aggressive. He loves children. I have 2 children ages 9 & 6. Our yard is not fenced in so we take our dog out for walks for his potty breaks
“Ethel was great with our challenging Jack Russell. He is very anxious about being separated from his family but Ethel made him feel right at home. She made everything easier for all of us!”
“Lana was great! She was quick to respond and was able to take our dog Wally in on short notice! Her photo updates of Wally were adorable and I felt completely comfortable instantly leaving him with her and her family! Wally had such a great time, thanks again Lana!”
“⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”
“Ashton was amazing with our dog. She updated us so frequently that she made us feel so comfortable. She made sure to let us know that she is in good hands. She also sent us a lot of pictures of out pup. thank you again ashton, you saved us :)”
“Katherine and Adam were awesome - we were coming from out of town and needed a sitter super last minute and they were very responsive and accommodating. Although it was only for a few hours, they took great care of our dog Birdie. Would definitely request their care again if we’re back in the Williamsburg area!”
About: "Whoever said diamonds are a girl's best friend...never owned a dog" I live in a townhouse in Williamsburg with husband, our 1 year old daughter and our puppy, Korben. Dog sitting is a full family experience in our home, both our daughter and puppy love it when we have house guests. In fact our daughter’s first word was “doggie”, so it’s very important that dogs that come into our home do well with children as much as they do well with other dogs. While we don’t have a fenced in yard we make up for it with a walking path in the neighborhood and many other walking trails close by, we generally go on two walks a day, weather permitting. I've been sitting for my friends and family for as long as I can remember. So if your looking for a place where your dog will be well cared for and have a lot of fun in the process, look no further. Please don't hesitate to e-mail me with further questions, I want you to feel comfortable when you leave your dog with me while you are out of town. I work mostly from home so your pup will have the hands on attention they deserve! We offer ample love and attention through walks and belly rubs. There are occasions I will need to leave the house for work, but I’m usually not gone more than an hour or so. In those instances we’ll recreate what you do with your pup when leave your home. I really try to mimic your routine at home as best as possible. I know that coming to a new home can be stressful for the pup so I try to ease that transition by sticking to your routine as best I can.
About: Looking for someone to care for your dog like you would? I’m here to help! From playtime to cuddles and everything in between, your pup will be in good hands. I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs. I currently have a 6year old boxer and a 1 year old Great Dane ❤️ I work full time in the medical field. I am free weekends and weekdays I am usually off by 5:30 if I am working that day. I have a large, privacy fenced backyard. I will care for your dogs any way needed. I am comfortable with all ages and breeds. Thank you!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid (my own, neighbors, friends, etc)! Growing up we always had multiple pups (large and small). I also have 5+ years of animal shelter volunteer experience. Volunteer experience includes maintaining animal hygiene and cleanliness of facilities, walking, grooming, training, and more. I work from home full time and have a flexible daily schedule so your fury friend will receive all the care and attention he/she needs! I recently moved to Williamsburg to a townhouse with a fenced in backyard. I am extremely flexible and am certain I can meet any needs your pup may have for all services offered!
About: I grew up around dogs my grandma has a dog named smokey and he's my best friend. I had a dog her name was moona and she was a mixed breed of a pit bull and Rottweiler so I have experience with bigger dogs. Im working part time during the morning so I'm free after 3 AM so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your angel and care for them I take them on walks and gives them a bath when we get back in the house with dog shampoo. I play with your angel to make them happy and I have a comfortable spot for them to say down.
About: I am a dog lover who has a mini Bernedoodle. I have had senior dogs and dogs with extensive medical needs. I am able to administer meds in any way shape or form and have done the off leash K9 training with two of my own dogs now, so am aware of some basic commands. My husband and I both work from home full time. We have a great back yard for your pet to run around in with our sweet boy Winston. I have one sweet young dog who would love an occasional dog visitor and playmate. I will treat your pet just like I do, which one may define as a bit on the spoiled side!
About: I love pets so much that when I was little I insisted on dressing up as a dog every year for Halloween. In all seriousness I have been petting since I was a little girl. I have watched dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, fish, birds, hamsters and many more. This job just brings me joy. I have worked with diabetic animals and animals with very strict eating habits. I am good with any pet of any age. I am very detail oriented so whatever specific instructions are needed to make sure your pet is safe and satisfied is understood by me. I am available any day anytime. I do have a very loose and flexible schedule and pet care is always something I will make time for! I am perfectly comfortable with walking your pet multiple times a day if needed. I don’t have any pets at home so there is no need to worry about conflict between the animals. I was raised with pets and understand the needs of snuggling during a storm or getting energy out after a nap.
About: I’ve taken care of and had dogs and cats since I was small. In fact, I can’t remember a time when I haven’t been caring for a pet. My goal is to ensure your animals get the care they deserve while you’re away! I work from home and have a flexible schedule! I’m available to leave during the day to care for your pets, take them on walks, and feed them if needed! Within my clients home I will care for pets the same way I would if they were in my own home! I will make sure their space is clean and tidy, they are well-exercised and fed!
“Cheyanne was very kind and considerate. She took the time to answer questions I had and she did a wonderful job with our baby. I would absolutely recommend her and we will contact her if we're in the area again.”
About: I will take care of as if my own. I tend to get attached and fall in Love fast with furry friends. It’s actually called baby kitty syndrome. Like when you want to squeeze them so hard you will hurt them. Lol I need something to do with myself and make a little extra cash. I’ve lived with dogs, cats, birds, fish and rabbits all my life. I rescued 2 dogs, brother and sister, from the woods when they were 6wks old. They made it to be 16. I do have issues with my left leg/foot and lower back. So I won’t be able to lift more than 25lb max. I’m new to the area so this will help me to get out of my house and do something. I actually watch pets to get my fur baby fix and for a place to stay, specially when I travel. And im usually solo on my travels I will stay in your home to make things as stress free as possible for your fur babies. I will follow all your instructions and love them as my own

“Victoria is so good with our dog Dash! She’s so patient with him and makes sure he’s comfortable and has all the things they need (including treats!) for a successful walk! I’ll definitely be hiring her again!”
“Honey is wonderful with Honey! She sends me pictures and gives me a report on how Ciara is doing daily! Also, was very generous in giving Ciara more time mid week. I recommend Honey highly to my friends!! Thanks Honey ❤️”
About: My beloved Summer (now deceased) was an absolute monster when she was a puppy, so I can handle it all. When she was a senior, I had no problem picking her up (60 lbs) for car rides and for bedtime (she slept with me), and took care of her when her stitches popped. It takes a lot to faze me. In high school and college, I was first aid certified and still keep a first aid kit on me at all times, so should something happen, I can get your sweet dog wrapped up if need be. My favorite activity for getting dogs' energy out is taking them to a fenced in soccer field and kicking a ball for them to run after. I currently have a 6 (ish) year old rescue named Charlotte, whom I’ve had to train as an adult dog. She’s the complete opposite of Summer: very vocal and has no interest in balls but adores sticks. Every morning, afternoon, and evening. Walks, meal times, and play time for your dog (or dogs) and my dog as well. Caring for a dog is priority #1. Each morning, I walk Charlotte before hitting the gym and again in the evening. I’m currently in-between jobs, so I have full availability for the next few weeks. After that, I will likely be working remotely and will be flexible. It varies by the needs of the pet and his/her family. Walks, playing in the yard, etc. are common. If your pet has a certain routine, I’m pleased to accommodate.
About: Hi, I’m Sandra! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for pets is something I love. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog is full of energy and ready for long walks and playtime, or your senior pet prefers a slower pace with extra patience and gentle care, I adapt to their individual needs. You can count on me to provide dependable care, regular updates, and plenty of love while you’re away. I’m a stay at home mom and have all the time in the world to spend with the pets in my care. I also enjoy gardening, baking, pottery, walks and spending time with my family. We have a doggie gate and big fenced backyard for your dog to run and play outside. Pets are welcome on the couch so we can all watch movies together. We don’t crate unless specifically requested by clients and we typically go on 2/3 walks a day.
About: Hi, my name is Mackenzie, and I love being outside and seeing happy dogs on walks! I grew up with a dog that I loved dearly, and enjoyed nothing more than spending time inside and outside with him! Since his passing, I have gotten a little over a year of experience petsitting and dog-walking, and am looking to expand and help more families keep their fur babies happy! Whether that be by dropping by for a walk and some tummy rubs, or hanging out while you’re on vacation, I am ready and excited to help out! I’m a high energy person who loves playing with and caring for dogs; please contact me if you think I could be a good pet for your best friend! I have also become a big cat person in my personal life! I have cats of my own and I love them very much. They both have some minor medical conditions that require prescription feeding and monitoring, so I am used to sensitive kitties who need a little extra love. I would love to help care for cats in the area, so other cat people can travel and vacation and have time away from home knowing that their furbaby is well cared for and loved in their absence! I work from home and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule, so I am available throughout the day for feeding, walking, playing, and relaxing with your pets! I am very detail oriented and can ensure that the care your pet receives from me mimics the care they receive from you, to keep your furbaby comfortable and relaxed while you're away!
About: Hey there, my name is Kiana! I am an avid dog lover, that has over 15+ years of experience with animals. 2 years out of my experience had been working for an amazing animal clinic, who have taught me a lot and how to care for our animals. Our animals are just like children, they are our fur babies! My love for animals helps me bond with every animal I meet and treat them with the upmost affection, respect and love. Being a past veterinary assistant has showed me different things to look for if an animal isn’t feeling well and how to respond. Having this experience your animal is in safe hands and will be taken great care of. I enjoy creating new bonds with animals and their Hooman! ❤️ (Last name change "Glem") I am currently working with my family, my hours are normally in the PT range but can be subjected to change. Mon-Fri 8-4 however working in my family business I can make adjustments to my schedule as needed. I live with my fiance (Glem), our almost 2 yr old rescue & 1 roommate in our 3 story townhouse. We are an end corner house so we do have a decent-sized unfenced grass area. Where our house is located in our neighborhood, directly in front of our house is a park with lots of great space to walk, run & play. Where we live is very dog & kid-friendly.
About: I started volunteering at the Humane Society at the age of 11, where I fell in love with caring for animals. I lived on a base where people traveled frequently and I was trusted to keep their pets safe and looked after. I now work at a dog daycare/ boarding facility as a kennel attendant, so I have the proper training to take care of your pets. I enjoy my job and have lots of love to give to animals! My schedule is very flexible. I have a two hour lunch break when I do work, and I only work part time. I am a college student and even with next semester coming up, I still will be very available. Unfortunately, I am unavaible at the moment for boarding at my house because of the pets in my household. Hopefully in the near future I will be able to!
About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to chickens, ducks, and goats, since I was 13. In my senior year of high school, I took a veterinary science class where I did check-ups and grooming on all sorts of animals. (Dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, etc.) I feed, walk, and medicate animals for coworkers, family, and friends just about everytime I'm home from school! I plan on working part-time, so I will have limited times during the day to walk your dogs, but I will have plenty of time to go over and feed, medicate, play, empty litter, etc., after or before my shifts! We've got a super big yard, so plenty of room to run around and play. My doggies at home use an electric fence, but I'm used to walking other dogs on a leash, no problem! Additionally, my pups get along well with other dogs, so no issues in regard to company and territory!
About: I have taken care of my family's large dogs all my life and volunteered at a local animal shelter for several years, walking, brushing and exercising dogs! I am comfortable with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels! I am a new graduate nurse, so spending time with animals and getting out of the house is exactly what the doctor ordered! My schedule is flexible, I am available most days that I am not working. I would be happy to walk leash-trained dogs or play with them in a fenced-in environment. I am also available for check-ins, feedings, or socializations for the animals!
About: I have always been a pet lover, owning seven of them myself. I always enjoy the company of animals and understand if you aren't always able to be able to cater to them like you want to. That's where I can help! Contact me and set up an appoinent and I'll take care of your pet, we can work around any schedule you may have. Animals should always be looked at like family and that's why taking care of them is a huge commitment to me. You should appreciate your best friend, dogs and cats (animals) have feelings just as much as we humans do. Thy generally experience every feeling we go through, whether it’s love or neglect, hunger or anger, jelousy or comfort. No maytter what they always want that companionship .
“Nice gentle with my girl. Willing to try whatever thought would motivate, but usually based on what I suggested. Appears to be cautious and not wanting to hurt dog. Definately likes animals. Much interactive with my dog after we all called it a day. Client was being very recalcitrant. Perhaps do some bonding before attempting walk next te”
“Alyssa has been wonderful! She walked my Lucie 🐶 for the past few weeks to keep her active while I’m gone to work. Lucie and I are very happy 😊 with her service. After each walk she cleaned her paws and make sure she had water and food available.”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs since I was barely tall enough to see over a food bowl, and that lifelong hands-on experience shaped me into someone who naturally understands animal behavior, routines, and training. I’ve personally trained my own dogs and have always been deeply involved in their care, from daily structure to behavior shaping and enrichment. Right now I share my home with a cat who keeps life interesting, and I’m very attentive to creating a happy, stable environment for pets. Animals have always been a constant part of my life, and caring for them feels less like a task and more like second nature. 🐾 My schedule is pretty structured around my work hours: I work 4pm–12am, and outside of that I’m home and available for the rest of the day. I keep my routine simple and steady, and I’m usually around in the mornings and early afternoons before heading into work. I’m not someone who’s constantly on the go or juggling a million commitments—my life is more grounded in work, home, and taking care of my pets. That balance gives me a lot of consistency and time to focus on what matters day to day. I take safety and trust seriously when it comes to animals and their environment. In the past, I’ve crate-trained my dogs and learned how to create calm, structured routines that help them feel secure and well-behaved. I’m comfortable setting boundaries in a gentle but consistent way, depending on the needs of each pet. My home is also very pet-safe, especially because my current cat is extremely curious and determined to investigate everything. I’ve adapted my space to keep hazards out of reach and ensure it’s a safe, enriched environment where pets can explore without getting into trouble. I pay close attention to what they can access and how they interact with their surroundings, so safety is always built into the way I live with animals. 🐾
“Alissa was wonderful with my 60lb pitbull mix, Camry—he absolutely adores her! She’s kind, experienced, and great with dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker. 10/10!”

“Jared was exceptional. He and his daughter took in our two golden retrievers as their own and I think that’s all we can ask for as a pet parent. I would highly recommend anyone staying in the Williamsburg choose Jared as your pet sitter. We will definitely be using him again.”
“Love Ms. Crystal. Elsa did so good for her. Side sent plenty pictures to keep me informed and I couldn’t be more thankful to know my baby was in great hands. Thank you again. Will be using her services again in the future.”
“Omaira and Isaac were absolutely wonderful with our dogs! They took such great care of our six-year-old Frenchie and our seven-month-old Doberman for five days, and we couldn’t have asked for better sitters. They were patient, attentive, and clearly very comfortable caring for dogs with different energy levels and needs. We received great updates and felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in loving, capable hands. Both dogs came home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved during their stay. We are so grateful for the care they provided and would highly recommend Omaira and Isaac to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and trustworthy sitters. We would absolutely book with them again!”
“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.”
“Ciara and her family were amazing! They treated our fur babies like her own and her littles just loved our girls. We felt very at ease dropping them off and picking them up and were very thankful for all the sweet pictures throughout their stay. Thank you Ciara!”
“Ryan and Stephanie kept me updated daily on Muppet’s visit and how she was doing. She was getting a lot of attention and loved every minute of it. We were a little late picking her up, but Ryan and Stephanie were understanding. When I picked her up, she was very content and happy and did not seem to have any stress whatsoever.”
“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!”
“Sandra and her family are great! Both of our dogs instantly felt comfortable with them and so did we. We found Sandra to be patient and kind to our boys and had no doubt they were in goods hands while we were away. She checked in with us often to let us know how they were doing. Great job Sandra!”
“Carly was an amazing sitter for our dog! Very responsible, flexible, and friendly with prompt communication. She gave us peace of mind and Shiv had a great time at her home while we were out-of-town.”
“Ethel went above and beyond taking care of our little Frenchie, Tank. Anyone with a Frenchie knows they can be very clingy and believes the world revolves around them. Ethel made sure Tank had lots of hugs, massages and even let him sleep with her. She also sent daily pics and messages allowing us to enjoy our vacation. She truly is the best and we hope she will watch him every time we need her.”
“Hilary and her family took great care of my dog Peanut! I appreciated her updates and flexibility through the stay. Our pup had anxiety and she took great care to make her comfortable. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“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! ❤️🐾”
“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!”
“Charley is immediately comfortable being at Christene and her family and dog Moon’s house. He has stayed there a few times so it’s nice knowing he feels at home. Charley is a picky eater, Christene cooked himbreakfast 🍳 thank you:o)”
“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.”
