“Amanda and Scott were excellent with our dog. We were visiting the area for the day and were willing to watch her for a limited time. They sent photos and were so welcoming. I would highly recommend them if you are in the Williamsburg area. I will plan to use them again when we come back. Our dog had a great time!!”


“Stephanie was fantastic! She ensures that all dogs get along before accepting to sit for you so that is very reassuring. She sent many pictures of Lulu playing in her backyard, which is huge, and considering how tired she was during the ride back home I know she had a great time. I would definitely recommend booking with Stephanie!”
“Thank you Paul and Terri! Super sweet family and you made Bailey feel right at home. If I am in the area again I will be sure to contact you again. Thank you 😊”

“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 !”
“We were away in England for almost three weeks. Teona & Louie sent videos & pics every day. We were never in doubt that Penny was in good hands and being well taken care of. Based on the photos/videos, she looked like she was always having a great time playing with the other pups. We would absolutely feel comfortable with leaving Penny with Teona & Louie again. Highly recommend.”

“Mrs. Crystal has been a Godsend! After several stays with her, we can honestly say that finding someone you trust completely with your dog is priceless, and that’s exactly what we found in her. She consistently provides exceptional care, thoughtful updates, and genuine love for Jaxon. He is always excited to see her and comes home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Knowing he is in such capable and caring hands gives us tremendous peace of mind whenever we’re away. We are incredibly grateful and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy sitter. ❤️”

“Our Dixie had a wonderful stay with Shania and her family. We were sent pictures and updates during Dixie’s stay. She was well taken care of and we will definitely be planning another stay with Shania.”

“We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! Our dogs came back smelling amazing — it's clear they were well cared for and given plenty of attention. We'll definitely be booking again!”

“My very first time using Rover. And this was my very first time leaving Zora, ever! Before even dropping her off, Brittany communicated so well with me and assisted me comfortably. Experienced and attentive. I must say, I am very pleased! I could see that Zora had, had a great weekend with you and trusted you. From the pictures, I cannot thank you enough. I will definitely be using your service again. 😊 a new pink twin connection! Thank you Brittany! You are a blessing”

“This was my first time ever using Rover and having someone watch over my dog for multiple days in their home. Jared was great to work with and kept me updated with pictures daily. I truly appreciate the care Jared provided and will definitely use his services in the future.”

“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”

“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!”

“Tara and her family were amazing with my dog. As a rescue, my dog is nervous in new situations. I appreciate all the great care that she provided. My dog had a great time and she cared for her with the same level of care that I would.”

“MAGGIE AND HER FAMILY AND EINSTEIN ARE THE BEST!! My girlfriend and I are traveling and needed somewhere for my little pup to stay for a few hours pretty last minute. Maggie responded very quickly and was able to look after my Piper. Piper can get a little nervous around other dogs but Einstein was super gentle and sweet so she was just fine. Not only did Maggie take care of Piper, but so did her family, which Piper loved! She got so many snuggles from everyone and I have the pictures of it… which is another great thing about Maggie. She will send you pictures throughout your pups stay which I appreciated SO MUCH! I have never left Piper with anyone before so was very nervous about it. Getting picture updates was great and Piper looked so happy in every single one! And she really loved going for a walk with Maggie and Einstein! We don’t live in Williamsburg, but if I did, I would ask Maggie to look after Piper if I ever need to leave her. Thank you so much, Maggie and crew, for taking such good care of our girl - means more than you will ever know! Recommend 10/10, 5 stars! ⭐️”

“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.”

“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!”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals cats, dogs, fish, and even plants! I love to help my friends, family, and more with walking their dog, feeding their cat, or watering plants! I work only a few days a week because I’m a stay at home mother so I would give your pup all my love. I’m available during the week from 11am - 8pm. I take my dogs on walks as well as play fetch at least once a day! I feed them twice a day and let them out every 2-3 hours. If i dog/cat sit for someone I go to their house 2 times a day to feed, walk, or whatever else I’m instructed to do.
About: Hi! My husband, Scott, and I have been together 20 years and recently became empty nesters. Scott is a naval ship designer and I do medical billing. We both love animals and make a great team. I have always been an animal lover. As a child I would walk the neighborhood dogs for free and as a teen I volunteered at the local animal shelter. I have house sat overnight for 6 years and we both have taken dog training classes. Animals have always been a part of our family and we will show your furry family members love and attention while your away. We can take your pets on walks, play ball or whatever it is they love to do! We love our puppies and beautiful home, my husband and I built ourselves 12 years ago. We would care for your home and pets like our own. We both work remotely and co-own our dogs with my mom. We are pretty flexible with our schedules and would be available to your pets needs. We are very respectful of people’s homes and would follow house rules. We would never have visitors unless agreed upon and would keep your home clean and your pets cared for.
“She was really great- she took care of both my cats consistently and was responsive, trustworthy, and sweet. Extremely flexible on my dates of travel changing as well- I would definitely use her again!”


“I was pleased to meet Morgan and to know that she had great prior experience with domestic pets. She completed all requested tasks and sent me daily photos of our pet during her visits. I am also pleased that she maintained security at our home and Rover was there as a back up if there was a problem.”
About: I have owned several dogs throughout my life. Small to big dogs as well as cats. I now own a German shepherd who just turned one in December and have trained her from a puppy. I have a big back yard and love animals. I have experience walking dogs of many sorts and have baby sat for several people before with dogs of all sizes. I have water dishes and food dishes for dogs and leashes and live in a neighborhood thats friendly and not too busy so it would be perfect for animals to walk in. I am currently working part at home and have plenty of time to take care of animals by boarding them or come to you anytime. I have a big yard for the dogs to run around in. I also have two fur babies to keep other animals occupied and to play around with.

“First time using Sarah. It is so reassuring to know your pet is being well care for while you are away from home. Sarah sent pictures of my well cared for happy cat with daily check ins. Her daily write ups always made me feel like Jessie was in good hands.”

“Stephanie help us out super last-minute at our stay in Williamsburg. She quickly responded and was very accommodating. River was happy to spend the day with her and the other dogs. He was able to go on a walk and relax in a comfortable home. We were updated throughout the day with pictures. We felt very comfortable leaving River in Stephanie's care and we're very appreciative of her last-minute ability to watch him. We would use her again and highly recommend. Thanks Stephanie!”

“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!”

“Sandra was fantastic! We needed to leave our dog Samwise with somebody during an appointment because he gets separation anxiety in new places and she was flexible and very communicative.”

“Lyra & Scott made our three days at Colonial Williamsburg completely worry-free! They took great care of her and she came back to our camper tired and happy.”

“⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”

About: I was raised with inside and outside dogs, I have years of experience with all ages of dogs, from newborns to my current rescue senior dog. I have a big backyard for plenty of walking and playing, a quiet neighborhood setting as well for lengthier walks. My senior dog is extremely calm and loves all dogs of all sizes. My young pup is well socialized and energetic to play with your pup for hours. My home will come with approved treats, I currently keep milkbones and dentasticks on hand, I am a rawhide free home due to its choking hazards. I have a work from home job, I am home all day 4 days of the week at minimum. Even on my “off days” I am generally gone no longer than about 4 hours. I have a long rope leash for play, a backyard that isn’t fenced but is more so “closed off” to neighbors. I have sturdy baby gates to section off my home to give dogs space for “alone” time away from my dogs if they need it.
About: I've been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with them, cared for and dog sat for over 15 years while being a nannny. I've had two dogs of my own as well. My family and I have recently lost our beloved pup and are desiring to spend time with yours to get all the dog snuggles and love we can! I am a stay at home mom with 3 kids. We are home daily and most weekends. We love for your sweet pup to hang with us during the day or stay with us during a vacation or long weekend away. We do not have a fenced in yard but have 2 acres of property that we would leash your dog and take for walks around the property. We had a dog in the past that had medication needs and special food needs so I accustomed to caring for dogs with special needs. We are also a couch/furniture friendly family if that is something that is important to you. We do have small children but both are use to dogs and love them! We also do not have a pet of our right currently and so your dog would definitely be the center of our attention.
“Ellie G. is a great communicator with photo updates. The daycare day went well and Annie O was introduced to Ellie’s chickens and I’m sure she wanted to get a little closer but Ellie was great keeping Annie away from them. Annie also met Ellie’s dog and it appears that they both made a new friend. The day was a success.”

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

I can guarantee your pet’s safety and that he or she will get lots of love while they stay. My husband and I have two children. We live on 6 acres of land and I stay home. Your furry friend will be treated like one of ours. I will keep open communication with you throughout the duration of their stay, and ensure that your worries are at ease. I am a full time caregiver who works from home and will be home 24 hours a day. This will ensure that your pet is well looked after. I have an open yard and can take your pet on walks. We have a puppy who is 6 months old who can keep your fur baby company or be kept separate if needed.

About: I started working at a boarding barn facility when I was 13. With the long list of animals I cared for, taking care of the barn cats and dogs were my favorite. I started studying veterinary care and animals science in high school; during these classes we learn animal behavior, anatomy, and even proper grooming. Now I am looking to start a career in Vet Science! I own 4 cats. Everyday is animal care, from basic feeding, grooming, cleaning to vet visits and cuddles. I’ve owned dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I still work with local farms, so animal care is extremely important to me. Basic care for all animals includes food and clean water everyday. Litter gets scooped once a day and dogs get let out however many times they need. I am 100% willing to do extra care as needed for the animals and clients!
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of personal and others’ pets from an early age. I’ve worked in a nature center taking care of wild animals, including birds of prey. I’ve always had a love of animals! My husband is active -duty Coast Guard and we moved back the the area in August of last year. I have availability throughout the week to accommodate a variety of needs. I look forward to creating personal care schedules to fit each families’ needs. For my home care, I offer multiple walks each day and my own well-behaved dog and cat for social needs. We are working on an enclosed backyard space for longer, free outdoor play time! Pickup and drop off service is possible. For client home care, I can be flexible, depending on the needs of the client.

About: I am Fear Free Certified, with 2 years of professional experience in animal shelters, and upwards of 5 years personal experience with pets of all shapes and sizes. I specialize is animals who need extra attention, like dogs who struggle with resource guarding or reactivity. My goal is always to relieve any animal of fear, anxiety, or stress. My schedule is open and flexible! I understand that things happen, and we aren’t always able to book a sitter a week in advance. I always do my best to keep my schedule open for same-day bookings Every pet parent does things their own way! I cater to each parent’s routine and rules. If your little one needs a slow and steady approach, I’ll always match their speed. If your dog has high energy and a high prey drive, they’ll be tuckered out and happy by the time I leave.
“Jessica was very accommodating. She was willing to come early, to get my pups out for their morning walk when I was out of town. She was great at communicating and giving updates and pictures. Highly recommend her services. She has alot of experience and I will definitely use her again.”

About: Hi! I provide attentive, reliable pet care backed by hands-on experience as a former kennel assistant, pet sitter, and working in a zoo environment. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals and am confident handling different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. Animals have always been a part of my life—I grew up caring for dogs and cats and currently have two pets of my own. This gives me a deep understanding of how important trust, consistency, and communication are when choosing someone to care for your pet. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and personalized experience for every pet, whether that means structured routines, engaging playtime, or gentle companionship. I also provide consistent updates so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Your pet will be treated with the same care, attention, and respect as my own. Being a stay at home mom, my schedule is open for walks, lots of cuddles, and structured schedules to ensure your fur baby is taken care of as if you were taking care of them yourself. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. With my background as a kennel assistant, I’m very familiar with reading animal behavior, preventing issues before they arise, and handling pets in a calm, controlled way.

About: I’ve always loved animals, I have a 3 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 am an animal lover who has been in the animal care field for about 7 years. I am trained with medicating animals, whether it be oral, topical, or subcutaneously. I have experience with aggressive pets, diabetic/epileptic pets, as well as puppies and senior pets. I can do baths, as well as everything that comes with bath prepping (nails, ear cleaning, a good brushing, etc.) I can also send as many picture and text updates as needed while sitting. Im currently in school for Animal Health and Behavior, in hopes to become a rehabilitator and own my own sanctuary. I spend most of my free time with my dog, a standard schnauzer/poodle mix, whether it be taking him on walks or taking him to the beach. I am really excited to start pet sitting, as I enjoy meeting new people and their pets! I look forward to taking care of your fur-babies! I don’t care for pets in my own home, as my younger dog is selective with other animals. I am more than happy to do whatever is necessary to keep your fur baby comfortable in their home! I’m completely comfortable with doing your own schedule and routine at your home. I keep a clean and tidy home, and will do the same at yours. I understand messes happen, especially with furry friends, but I’m more than happy to clean up any dishes, laundry, basic cleanup etc. I’m currently focusing on petsitting, so unless my calendar says otherwise, I should be available when I’m needed. At this time I’m not doing overnight sitting, but will possibly offer that again in the future. I do not bring client’s pets to my own home, as I have reactive dogs. I will be more than happy to follow your routine and safety practices in your own home/out on walks!
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet. I treat each animal like they’re my own, paying close attention to their routine, personality, and comfort. I provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing, and I make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior pets who may require extra care, slower walks, or medication support. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and I truly care about making both pets and owners feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make it a priority to be reliable and consistent for every booking. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, depending on your pet’s needs. I plan my day around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get the attention, feeding, and interaction they’re used to. Whether it’s quick drop-ins or longer visits, I’m committed to being on time and keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in your home. I take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, litter box care, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I pay close attention to their behavior and environment to make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and tidy, including maintaining litter boxes and feeding areas. I always make sure doors, windows, and entry points are secure, and I’m mindful about preventing escapes—especially with indoor cats. I also provide regular updates with messages and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where your pet feels at ease and you have complete peace of mind.
About: I have been taking care of animals all my life, really. However, I have only been pet/ house sitting since I was 15 and old enough to drive myself. I am currently a full time vet assistant working at the local humane society, with 5 years of experience working at a vet clinic as an assistant. I am able to identify lameness/illness in dogs and cats and am able to administer all meds including subcutaneous fluids and insulin. I’m currently working full time at the animal shelter. My work day usually starts at 8am and ends around 3 - 4pm. It is very easy for me to “sneak” away from work and go on a quick break to let your fur babies out during any down time I have at work! As we are a humane society, everyone understands the importance of pets getting their potty breaks during the work day! I will make sure your pets have plenty of water and food to keep them happy. The first thing I do when I get to the home is let the animals out to stretch their legs and go potty. If needed, I am willing to walk the dog(s) on a leash outside to use the bathroom. Along with that, I will check the house for any accidents and gladly clean them up. As I have stated before, I am quick to realize if something is off with your fur babies, such as illness or lameness. I am a frequent flyer at the local veterinary clinics and emergency clinics nearby (thanks to working at the humane society lol), so that may help ease your mind a bit while you are away!

“Amanda and Scott were excellent with our dog. We were visiting the area for the day and were willing to watch her for a limited time. They sent photos and were so welcoming. I would highly recommend them if you are in the Williamsburg area. I will plan to use them again when we come back. Our dog had a great time!!”


“Stephanie was fantastic! She ensures that all dogs get along before accepting to sit for you so that is very reassuring. She sent many pictures of Lulu playing in her backyard, which is huge, and considering how tired she was during the ride back home I know she had a great time. I would definitely recommend booking with Stephanie!”
“Omaira and Isaac taking care of my baby. This couple really adore animals. They were very kind and lovely with my puppy that he even came back to their place to say goodbye. He was so happy !!! I'm glad and happy to find them for take care of my dog. I recommended 100%”

“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 !”
“We were away in England for almost three weeks. Teona & Louie sent videos & pics every day. We were never in doubt that Penny was in good hands and being well taken care of. Based on the photos/videos, she looked like she was always having a great time playing with the other pups. We would absolutely feel comfortable with leaving Penny with Teona & Louie again. Highly recommend.”

“Mrs. Crystal has been a Godsend! After several stays with her, we can honestly say that finding someone you trust completely with your dog is priceless, and that’s exactly what we found in her. She consistently provides exceptional care, thoughtful updates, and genuine love for Jaxon. He is always excited to see her and comes home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Knowing he is in such capable and caring hands gives us tremendous peace of mind whenever we’re away. We are incredibly grateful and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy sitter. ❤️”

“Our Dixie had a wonderful stay with Shania and her family. We were sent pictures and updates during Dixie’s stay. She was well taken care of and we will definitely be planning another stay with Shania.”

Experienced and attentive. I must say, I am very pleased! I could see that Zora had, had a great weekend with you and trusted you. From the pictures, I cannot thank you enough. I will definitely be using your service again. 😊 a new pink twin connection! Thank you Brittany! You are a blessing”

“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”

“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!”

“Tara and her family were amazing with my dog. As a rescue, my dog is nervous in new situations. I appreciate all the great care that she provided. My dog had a great time and she cared for her with the same level of care that I would.”

“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.”

“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!”


“Well this was our Kobe first experience with Jackie or anybody since Covid came into our lives. Jackie made the process smooth and informative for us to know how our dog was doing we really appreciate that too so we thank you. She return our to us with good attitude and clean as he came there. So if anybody looking for an outstanding dog sitting Jackie is your best choice. We thank you again and will be using your service in the near future.”


“Very satisfied with Sunny's stay with Jeff. I was reluctant to leave my precious girl with anyone other than family but Jeff sent pictures and assured me that Sunny was doing OK. I intend to leave Sunny with the Syvias during my future travels.”
