“Another amazing stay with Jay! My fluff nugget had a wonderful time on vacation, with his second mom, just like every time he stay with her. But she’s a tough act to follow. When he gets home, I’m going to fail at keeping him stimulated. But he will have the memories to hold him until his next vacation! Thank You Jay, for showing him a fabulous time and as always, for making him feel right at home!”
“Indy had such a great time at Ciara’s! Of course, as a first time booking, I was a little nervous, but any of those feelings were quickly gone. Extremely caring home and care, and I love the updates and pictures along the way! I’m very grateful to have found Ciara and will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Allison is confident and understanding when handling our dog reactive pittie. He really enjoyed his stay with her and I had peace of mind knowing we could leave him with someone as knowledgable as her in dog behavior, that also understands his needs for attention and comfort. We're new to Virginia and so relieved to have found her!”
“Teona & Louelyn were awesome and I would highly recommend boarding your fur babies with them! When I reached out, they responded very quickly and were very professional. They asked lots of questions to get to know how to best care for my kitten and they sent regular updates about her wellbeing, which included pictures and videos. Definitely appreciated the peace of mind and would recommend their services to anyone!”
“Matt was great with our dog for boarding and sent us lots of pictures to keep us updated throughout the stay. We would highly recommend Matt!”
“Mila had a great time! Peyton (and company) were very accommodating for a last minute need. I received updates with pictures showing what a fun time Mila had.”
“Our dog loves to be with other dogs. He is very social. Stephanie has a big backyard plenty of room for the dogs to run. She sent photos and communicates with me.”
“Finally, we know Sushi is in good hands with Victoria when we travel! He falls right on line with the pack. She sends great updates and pictures, is in constant communication with you if necessary, and offers lots of flexibility around drop offs and pick up times. This was Sushi’s second 8+ day stay. There will be more. Top notch!”
“Lyra & Scott were so very easy to work with, and our pup had a wonderful time with them. We recently moved to the area and have lucked out finding such a kind and caring family, that obviously loves taking care of doggies. Would definitely use them again.”
“Ryan & Stephanie were great! They responded quickly to my original request and were extremely good at communication. Most importantly, Hazel felt right at home with this awesome family while we’re out of town. 110% recommend!”
“Another great stay with Amanda and Scott for Buddy! I can see from the pictures they send what a great time he is having and know he is loving the love he is getting.”
“Paul & Terri took such good care of our dog, and communicated frequently and sent many pictures too. He was able to go outside frequently which makes him very happy.”
“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!”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing. It all started with just simply contacting her. She watched our dog when our area had the good snow storm this year. My husband and I both work in the fire department and were called into work immediately, we had nowhere to place our dog on such short notice. Jennifer eagerly took our dog in such short notice (hour drop off to be exact.) During her stay I got several pictures everyday knowing that even though we were staying busy our pup was having a blast. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Abby was great with my dogs. She kept me informed throughout the entire trip and was vigilant in keeping my dog with addisons disease healthy. She went above and beyond to ensure they had a good stay.”
“Michelle did a wonderful job watching our boy Remy! He can be very shy and nervous in new environments but Michelle made him feel right at home. Loved getting the updates and photos while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will book again :)”
“Willow is completely at ease with Amanda. Amanda does a fantastic job keeping me informed about Willow’s health, activities, and interactions with their family. I have already rebooked. I have and will change plans if Amanda is not available.”

“Victoria fell in love with my cats instantly and they warmed up to her so quickly, so I know they were cared for with much love while I was away! Communication was fast, seamless, and much appreciated.”
“I have had Ashlei sit for my cat twice before and I couldn't think of any other person I would rather have sit for her again. My cat had just been spayed and I was very nervous leaving her over night but Ashlei took such great care of her and provided me with such detailed updates that I was more than confident that she was in very capable hands.”
“Thank you so much!! You guys did great😊 Penelope was happy & everything was taken care of very well! Thank you for bringing the trash can in! We loved the pics & that Philip got on the floor to play😊 We will have you again for sure!! ❤️ Thank you again!”
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.

“Kat is such an amazing sitter! I'm in the process of moving, so lot's of stress.. but I didn't worry about my animals AT ALL. She went above and beyond keeping me updated and sending detailed photos/descriptions showing that my house and animals were safe and well cared for.”
“Lauren was really great, especially given our cat is very skiddish/scared and runs under the sofa at the slightest noise. Thank you for being caring and compassionate. When we go out of town again, Lauren will definitely be our selection. We highly recommend her.”

About: I have had cats my entire life and have extensive experience caring for them through all stages of life. Growing up with cats taught me the importance of understanding their individual personalities, routines, and needs. In my adult life, I have had two cats of my own. One of them I raised from a kitten and cared for throughout his entire life until he was 13 years old. This experience gave me firsthand knowledge of kitten care, adult cat care, and the special attention and support senior cats need as they age. I am comfortable with daily feeding routines, litter box maintenance, administering medications when needed, and providing companionship while respecting each cat's unique temperament. Having lived with and cared for cats my whole life, I understand how important it is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them.

“Storm had a wonderful time with Ciara (and Fitz and Dolly.) Communication was outstanding and we really appreciated Ciara's preparedness as well! She clearly loves animals and was able to provide a fun environment for all her guests!”
“I cannot thank Lyra and Scott enough for helping me out in a bind today! I was in Williamsburg visiting my boyfriend with my baby puggle and we needed to run several errands but Angel has never been left by herself for longer than MAYBE an hour. I always have someone to watch her back in Richmond but not here. This is actually the first time I’ve used a pet sitter and I couldn’t be more pleased with their service in particular. They sent me the SWEETEST updates of Angel having a wonderful time with their adorable children. She looked SO cheerful and content. It made this dog mama VERY VERY happy! I know Angel had herself a blast because she has been a tired but blissful potato. I will be using them in the future because I know my baby will be in safe hands and very loved. 10/10 recommend Lyra and Scott for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“We’ve had a wonderful experience with Jared! He is always very flexible with scheduling, which I truly appreciate, and he consistently sends photos throughout the day that give me peace of mind. Bella absolutely loves going there—especially the trips to the park to play and burn off energy. She also adores children, so she gets extra excited on days when she can spend time with his daughter. It’s clear she feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I highly recommend Jared to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“We were so great full to have found her and that she was able to care for our little fellow in our time of need. She provided wonderful care for him. She has several bigger dogs on site but they were very friendly and didn’t even bark. Our little guy was surfers from a bit of anxiety when we leave him anywhere. I think he was secretly proud of himself for hanging with the big dogs. We don’t have to leave him often but I will give Becca a call again when we have the need.”
About: I have taken care of multiple 8 week old pups & 8+ y/o ones as well. I would say I am trained all over the pup spectrum. My jobs are flexible & I normally can be available Monday-Sunday for all your pet needs! So taking care of your pets will not be a problem. I prioritize each pet’s unique needs & routines, whether in my home or the client’s home. In my home, I ensure a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation with the help of 3 dogs who I share a home with. I follow the pet owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, & any specific care instructions. In the client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routine to minimize stress. I keep the home tidy & communicate regularly with updates & photos to give peace of mind. My goal is to provide loving, attentive care as if they were my own pets.
“Miguel and his wife were great! They took such good care of my dog and were super responsive throughout the entire time. I felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend them!”
“I just recently found Ayme & I have booked with her twice in one week!!! I chose her because of her extensive positive reviews & for the fact that she has a nice backyard. Upon meeting her, she is warm, kind & welcoming. My adopted chocolate lab has separation anxiety, which has been getting worse. He becomes immensely anxious when I leave him and he can’t be left alone at all, or else he barks non-stop. He doesn’t love doggy daycare because it’s too many dogs, not enough human interaction and no outside time. He has done well with Ayme twice so far for day care and I look forward to using her services consistently to get him familiarized with her & being away from me. I totally recommend Ayme!”
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
“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!”

“Absolutely perfect first experience with rover. Maggie sets the bar high with a welcoming home environment. She know exactly what she is doing - let the dogs meet freely, run freely and he felt right at home. I was so nervous but knew right away he would be fine. She sent pics throughout the day for reassurance and to let me see my buddy. Thanks so much!”
“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!”

About: Growing up on a small farm with cats & high-energy pups, I ended-up gaining experience as the neighborhood dog & cat sitter in my as a teenager. It was my favorite job I’ve ever had! ☺️ This included stops-in for daily walks, cuddle-times, & feedings; ensuring they play & move when their owners are away. Occasionally administering medications: (including medications that require a needle), and much more. As I got older, I gained experience working in a Veterinarian office. I’ve spent a lot of time with animals of all sizes and temperaments in these environments, including end of life care. I also have my own at home: two old boys. One sweet & feisty, almost thirteen-year-old blind and (nearly entirely) deaf Dachshund named Woody, who loves to be cuddled. Then, there’s my nearly ten-year-old American Foxhound sweetheart, Popeye, who wants to do nothing but play and be told how much of a “good boy” he is. They’re the best boys anyone could ask for. I look forward to hearing from you and how I can help! ☺️ I do same-day bookings for walks. Extra play-time, snuggles, and pets await. Currently, I am home, in-between waiting for Medical Assistant Certification classes to start in January, after 6 years of being a stay-at-home-mother. I am extremely communicative and committed to respecting the boundaries of your home. If there are specifics to how you would like me to enter & lock your home, then it will be done. As far as taking care of your pets, they will be loved, played with, treated as if they are my own, and fed, walked, & watered (if specified for the job).

This experience has given me a strong understanding of daily pet care, administering medications, recognizing changes in behavior, and providing the love and comfort pets need to feel safe and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, companionship, or extra attention due to age or special needs, I am committed to providing reliable, compassionate care while you're away. I am currently in between jobs, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to provide your pets with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. Whether your furry family member enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I can tailor my care to their individual needs and routine. As a lifelong pet owner with experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, I understand how important it is to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care, I am committed to treating every animal as if they were my own. I have a fully fenced backyard with a 5-foot chain-link fence, providing a safe and secure space for your pet to play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. I do not have neighbors directly adjacent to my yard, so there is minimal concern about pets being distracted or stressed by animals on the other side of the fence. I am a lifelong animal lover and currently share my home with a senior dog, whom I've raised since she was 8 weeks old, and a young cat who has been part of our family since he was 8 weeks old as well. Having cared for pets through every stage of life—from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets requiring extra attention—I understand that every animal has unique needs and routines. When your pet stays with me, they will be treated like a member of the family. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel at home while you're away. I personally allow my pets on the furniture, but I fully respect each owner's preferences. If your pet has specific rules, routines, feeding schedules, medication needs, or restrictions, just let me know and I will be happy to follow them to ensure consistency and comfort during their stay. I believe communication is important, so I am also happy to provide updates, photos, and messages while your pet is in my care, giving you peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and well loved.

“Indy had such a great time at Ciara’s! Of course, as a first time booking, I was a little nervous, but any of those feelings were quickly gone. Extremely caring home and care, and I love the updates and pictures along the way! I’m very grateful to have found Ciara and will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Allison is confident and understanding when handling our dog reactive pittie. He really enjoyed his stay with her and I had peace of mind knowing we could leave him with someone as knowledgable as her in dog behavior, that also understands his needs for attention and comfort. We're new to Virginia and so relieved to have found her!”
“Teona & Louelyn were awesome and I would highly recommend boarding your fur babies with them! When I reached out, they responded very quickly and were very professional. They asked lots of questions to get to know how to best care for my kitten and they sent regular updates about her wellbeing, which included pictures and videos. Definitely appreciated the peace of mind and would recommend their services to anyone!”
“Matt was great with our dog for boarding and sent us lots of pictures to keep us updated throughout the stay. We would highly recommend Matt!”
“Mila had a great time! Peyton (and company) were very accommodating for a last minute need. I received updates with pictures showing what a fun time Mila had.”
“Becca is wonderful! We came down to the Keys for a long weekend and wanted our pup, Julep, to be with us when possible during the stay and while traveling. “Camp Becca” is the best! She sent photos and reports of fun times. Her dogs are friendly and were gracious hosts as well. Julep came out all smiles! Highly recommend.”
“Our dog loves to be with other dogs. He is very social. Stephanie has a big backyard plenty of room for the dogs to run. She sent photos and communicates with me.”
“Finally, we know Sushi is in good hands with Victoria when we travel! He falls right on line with the pack. She sends great updates and pictures, is in constant communication with you if necessary, and offers lots of flexibility around drop offs and pick up times. This was Sushi’s second 8+ day stay. There will be more. Top notch!”
“Lyra & Scott were so very easy to work with, and our pup had a wonderful time with them. We recently moved to the area and have lucked out finding such a kind and caring family, that obviously loves taking care of doggies. Would definitely use them again.”
“Laneise made boarding with her so easy. She was so chill and flexible about drop off and pick up during the hectic holiday and that helped a lot! Our dogs loved being at her house and felt right at home. She has a lot of experience with animals and grooming so that is a huge plus! We are so thankful to have found her and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Ryan & Stephanie were great! They responded quickly to my original request and were extremely good at communication. Most importantly, Hazel felt right at home with this awesome family while we’re out of town. 110% recommend!”
“Another great stay with Amanda and Scott for Buddy! I can see from the pictures they send what a great time he is having and know he is loving the love he is getting.”
“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!”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing. It all started with just simply contacting her. She watched our dog when our area had the good snow storm this year. My husband and I both work in the fire department and were called into work immediately, we had nowhere to place our dog on such short notice. Jennifer eagerly took our dog in such short notice (hour drop off to be exact.) During her stay I got several pictures everyday knowing that even though we were staying busy our pup was having a blast. I can't recommend her enough!”
About: I am an experienced dog parent with a deep love for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Having recently lost our high-energy Staffy, I'm deeply familiar with the dedication required to keep active dogs exercised, stimulated, and happy. I work from home, so your dog will benefit from constant supervision, plenty of indoor attention, and consistent daily walks. Whether your pup needs rigorous exercise or just a cozy spot to hang out while you're away, they will be in safe, loving hands with me Working at the house gives me complete control over my daily schedule, so caring for a dog fits naturally into my routine. My day is built around morning, midday, and evening walks, as well as regular yard time and structured play breaks. Because I'm home all day, guest dogs get constant supervision, consistent potty schedules, and plenty of affection to help distract me from work. In my home, guest pets are treated just like family. I closely follow every owner's explicit instructions for feeding schedules, house rules, and special needs to keep their routine as consistent as possible
“Abby was great with my dogs. She kept me informed throughout the entire trip and was vigilant in keeping my dog with addisons disease healthy. She went above and beyond to ensure they had a good stay.”
“Willow is completely at ease with Amanda. Amanda does a fantastic job keeping me informed about Willow’s health, activities, and interactions with their family. I have already rebooked. I have and will change plans if Amanda is not available.”
“Ellysia is so kind and warm. She takes such good care of Harley and Harley came home so happy! She’s also very communicative and sent a bunch of goofy photos of Harley! Will definitely book with Ellysia again!”
