“Meagan was a very good drop-in caretaker for my older cat. She worked with us during a last minute booking. She's very good about sending both goofy and good-looking pictures of the animals. She is a very busy rover, so expect some mild changes in the pre-set schedule just as she moves around her day. Very good Rover regardless!”
About: Hi, I’m Bryan! While many pet sitters focus primarily on dogs, my heart and expertise belong firmly to the feline world. I know that cats aren't just "low-maintenance" pets—they have distinct personalities and unique care needs that deserve dedicated attention. I have a cat of my own and have experience caring for family members’ cats too. What I offer during my visits: Fresh Food & Water: follow the feeding directions provided and clean the water bowl as frequently as requested. Clean Litter Box: Keeping things meticulously clean so your cat stays happy and your home stays fresh. Play & Enrichment: Engaging their hunting instincts with their favorite toys. Lots of Love (On Their Terms): Plenty of chin scratches, brushing, or just peaceful companionship if they prefer their space. Daily Updates: Detailed reports and plenty of photos so you have total peace of mind while you're away.
“Paula is amazing!!! This is my second time having her come watch my cat and it won’t be my last! She really cares about animals and is someone I trust and can count on. I definitely recommend .”
About: The Kitten Delivery System struck twice! Higgins is four, and Freyja is the newbie who came home with us in January 2026. Both have been on road trips and nature walks on leashes. Their vaccine and vet schedules are top priorities, and I have experience with special diets, urgent care, and medications. In a younger version, Mike rescued a kitten along with a puppy from the Arctic conditions in Alaska.
About: This house is only happy when pups are running around having fun. We have 3 friendly Australian Shepards that love playmates. Bear is 11 years old and Sundae and Irie are almost 5 years old. Our friends call this home, pup camp because they bring over their pups for the day for play dates when they are away from their homes for an extended amount of time. Prior to caring for your pup, we do request that there is a meet and greet to ensure that all get along. There's a large outdoor space for lots of playtime, a large fenced in yard with a pool that the pups are welcome to swim in. We go on frequent walks and have lots of play time outside so we get our exercise. We are experienced with caring for young pups, special needs and seniors along with administering medications and injections. If you hire us for drop ins or walks, you can ensure that your fur baby will get lots of loving attention, playtime, walked and feed or medicated if needed. Update: no longer accepting new clients for boarding or day care as our Sunday's anxiety and uncomfortable levels are increasing with the new fur baby faces coming and going. We think she has reached her limit. However, open to previous clients.We provide doggy boarding to 1 family at a time up to 2 pups. Your fur babies are treated and loved as our own so we insist on meet & greets..to make sure everyone/pup feels at home. The same is true for doggy daycare....but ask about daycare discounts! Currently a stay at home dog mom! I also spend time caring for friends pups throughout the week...just call me dogma! Schedule is flexible and open. For daycare, drop ins and walks 6:30am-6pm We have a large fenced in yard, swimming pool and dog crate. We play a lot and go on long walks. Friends pups come hang out so there as ample socialization
“Janie & Emily arrived on time each day and kept us updated on how our cat was doing. Super easy to work with and highly communicative! Thanks again for a great petsitting experience!”
“Shanna was absolutely great with our cat while we were away. She has excellent communication and always made us feel comfortable during drop-in visits by sending plenty of pictures and updates daily. We highly recommend Shanna and would definitely request her to pet sit again in the future.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and am very comfortable caring for pets of all ages and temperaments. I currently have a senior dog of my own, so I’m especially attentive to routine, patience, and reading body language. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules, administering basic medications, crate routines, and giving pets the attention they need while you’re away. I understand how important consistency and safety are, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I work remotely and have the capacity to be available whenever needed, including those that need multiple walks, medications or play time throughout the day. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible — same feeding times, walk schedule, and familiar environment. I always double-check doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses before and after walks, and I’m attentive to surroundings while outside. I treat your home with respect and leave everything as I found it. For drop-ins and walks, I focus on safety, patience, and clear communication. I’ll send updates and photos so you know your pet is comfortable and cared for. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away.
“Briana is a trusted and reliable sitter for your pets. She will ensure they are loved and taken care of. She even went out of her way to do additional support tasks that weren’t required of her. I will be rebooking soon!”
“Leslie did a great job of caring for our three cats while we were away for a week. We just came back to happy, full cats and clean litter boxes. Leslie was good about updates, and asked a few questions when needed. Everything went very smoothly!”

“Kristynah is the best dog sitter anyone could ask for. Knowledgeable, extremely caring, and gives the best updates plus takes beautiful pictures of your pup. I love it when she is available to watch my puppy because I know he is in good hands. 10/10”
“Tiana was so amazing!! I was moving to the area that day and had a lease meeting and needed a last minute dog sitter. She had a very quick response time, was super sweet and my babies were happy and healthy! Can’t wait to use her again!!”
About: I've taken care of a wide variety of animals in my time, ranging in all different shapes, sizes, and ages. We have a loving family that's the perfect environment for all animals, all are welcome here I work from home, and spend the majority of days at home all day. I am very grateful and lucky to have a flexible job that allows me plenty of time to care for the variety of animals we have. Our toddler loves to help feed and care for the pets in our home, so everyone gets all the attention they could ever need. We spoil our pets, there's no doubt about it. From special treats and play time, to cuddling and lots of pets and rubs, any animal in my care will receive everything they need and more to feel safe, loved, and cared for.
“Abigail and her family’s were awesome. Took great care of our 2 and half year old Chase. They let us visit him every day during his 4 day stay. If we are back to your area, we will absolutely take your services to take care of our Chase. Thank you for your kindness and help.”
“Words can't describe how awesome my experience was putting the care of my puppy in Zack's hands. As soon as I drop them off, he felt so at home,and it was clear to see that my puppy will be in good hands!! When picking him up, he was in a great mood! I brought him home, and he fell as straight to sleep. Zach's dogs played so well with Carmelo, and I look forward to setting up another time for him to spend the day with them! I look forward to the next play date Zach's house with his dogs, and I recommend anyone ,who wants their dog to be in great hands to choose him as a handler.”
“Shawn is the best dog sitter you could ask for. He is amazing with communication and very consistent. My dog loves it here with him and always has an amazing time! I highly recommend!!”
About: I am a 31 year old Nurse Practitioner living and working in the Virginia Beach area.

About: Growing up, my family always had a house full of pets. I haven’t had a personal pet since then, but thankfully I get to spend time with so many of them via pet sitting. I've done tons of sitting over the years, ranging from a day, to months at a time. I’ve handled a range of breeds of both cats and dogs. I’ll gladly adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs (early/late hours for feedings, medication, etc.). I’m currently working part-time and can flex hours, so I have plenty of time to play with pets! I’m available for boarding on both weekends and weekdays as well. Just reach out and let me know what you need and I’ll make it work! I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex, equipped with a dog park and a washing station. I live in a large two-bedroom apartment with no pets, so you don’t have to worry about them getting along with another fur baby! When it comes to visiting or staying at someone’s place, I’m extremely careful to keep the doors locked at all times.
About: I've had multiple dog breeds over the years, including weimaraner, dauchsund, australian shephard, and australian cattledog. Let me know your dogs personality so I can support him/her the best. I am currently between jobs, and am flexible in my schedule to support your pet care needs. I am kind, patient, and will play with your pet. I enjoy going on walks and would love to get out with your pup. Or if they need to stay closer to home, let me know how I can support your pet the best. I will go off the cues of what your pet feels most comfortable with. I have learned they need to be able to trust their caregiver. I am happy to earn their trust and will meet them where they are.
“Kirra is our go-to dog walker - she has been a gift to us, helping take care of my parents 11 year old dog whenever we are dog sitting! Kirra is dependable and we’re so happy to be a repeat client!”

About: Mike's first job was caring for his neighbors' pets. Mike has had pets since he was 10, and travelled around the world with his dogs and cats during his military career and regional sales role. Roscoe, Higgins, and Freyja are living the dream in the Pacific Northwest with frequent road (work) trips and cross-country visits to the family in Indiana and Massachusetts. Let me know if we can help you with your fur babies. Mike works from home and is an early riser. While the coffee is brewing, all the animals are waking up with bathroom breaks and breakfast. Mike walks Roscoe after breakfast and dinner. Since Roscoe is a senior, we frequently split the two meals into snacks and shorter walks. When the cats are interested, they climb into the backpacks and go see the world with us. I pay attention to the animals' behavior and routines. Consistency in feeding and bathroom breaks has made my pets very comfortable with my work and social routines. I have the flexibility to meet your routines and maintain the consistency you expect with your family while away from home. I recognize when it's time to stop playing, reduce the mileage, or go to the vet.
About: I’m a mom of two humans, one fur baby and a leopard gecko. My first fur baby as an adult went to doggy heaven at 15 a few months ago and I’m looking to help fill that void by helping others with their fur babies. I’m reliable and love all dogs. The bigger the better! My dog now is a pit/mastiff that is all love. I’m Not afraid of dog slobber and wet kisses. I teach high school and am done working at 230 every day. I’m available to help when I can. I have a 6 year and a 8 year old who also loves pets. If your dog is kid friendly, let me know and I got two kids who will love to play fetch with your dog as well. I have a fenced yard and have had a dog my entire life. I have trained all 3 dogs I owned and can remember owning.
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, including recently providing hospice-level care for my paralyzed Great Dane. His care required constant attention, patience, mobility assistance, and adapting to his changing needs each day. I even modified a wheelchair for him so he could continue enjoying walks and time outside comfortably until he passed. That experience deepened my understanding of how important trust, attentiveness, and compassion are when someone leaves their dog in another person’s care. Whether your dog is young and energetic, anxious, senior, or needs extra patience and support, I treat them with the same level of care and attention I would want for my own. I’m dependable, communicative, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with dogs — not just “checking a box” for walks or visits. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give dogs consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time with dogs, so walks and one-on-one attention are something I look forward to. Because I work from home, I’m also able to closely monitor pets, stick to feeding or medication schedules, and provide updates and communication so owners feel comfortable while they’re away. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Every dog has a different personality and energy level, so I adjust my care based on their needs — whether that’s long walks and playtime, calm companionship, extra patience with anxiety, or slower-paced senior care. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the pet’s routine and the home itself. I follow feeding schedules closely, make sure dogs get plenty of exercise and attention, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pet is doing well. Because of my experience caring for my paralyzed Great Dane, I’m also very attentive to details and comfortable with dogs who may need extra support, patience, or monitoring. My goal is always for pets to feel secure, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away.
About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Since I was young, I’ve always wanted to work with them in some way. I started watching dogs around middle school for family and friends. As time went on, I took as many opportunities as I could to pet sit. I have worked with dogs in a range of different sizes and temperaments from Shih Tzu to German Shepherds. All dogs will be welcomed and loved in my care! I am currently a student at George Mason University. I only go to in person classes Monday through Wednesday, 12-4. Any other day or time I am available for walks or longer care if needed. I am always open to fitting into whatever schedule you have for your pet. I only want to aid not hinder. I will adhere to their schedule as you have set and will always ask questions if needed to make sure everything is clear.
About: Looking for reliable dog walking and pet sitting services? I offer personalized care for your furry friends, ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and love they need while you’re away. Whether it’s a daily walk, weekend getaway, or just some extra care during busy times, you can trust me to keep your pets happy and safe. Let me take care of your pets like they’re my own! As a stay at home mother I have the flexibility to be there when you need me. Short notice visits and care are always welcome. I strive to create and maintain long term relationships with my clients and their pets. Overnight visitors will be kept company by a small child and an elderly chocolate lab, both of whom love having furry friend sleepovers. I am happy to continue your crate training or provide a free roam environment. We have a fully fenced in yard for potty and play time. I am also familiar with breeds that are unable to do long walks (such as frenchies) and can accommodate minor special needs.
“Meagan took such great care of our German Shepherd!! She was very professional, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure he got his energy out while we were away. Would highly recommend her for all of your pet care needs!”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family by walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for their pets while they were away. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to routines, safety, and each pet’s individual needs. I make sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for, and I always follow the owner’s instructions closely. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if it were my own. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I’m available on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and again after 6:00 p.m. I’m also fully available on weekends, which allows me to provide consistent care, attention, and flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting I always prioritize safety, trust, and respect when caring for pets in their own home. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, maintain routines, ensure doors and gates are secure, and keep pets in a calm and safe environment. I treat every home and pet with responsibility, care, and attention.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life and absolutely love them! I worked at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, and I also have two dogs of my own. My first dog was reactive, so I understand how to handle situations where a dog may be nervous or reactive around other dogs or while on walks. I love animals and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away! During the summer, I have a flexible schedule and can work around your pet's needs. Until the end of June, I have practice from 7–9 AM, but I'm free the rest of the day. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or just some extra attention, I'll make sure they are well cared for and keep you updated while you're away. I always try to keep pets comfortable and stick to their normal routine as much as possible. Whether we're out on a walk, playing, or just hanging out at home, I'll make sure your pet is safe, happy, and getting the attention they need.
About: I’ve had experience watching dogs for my entire life. I know how to give medicine, including injections, to dogs and cats. I am also certified in first aid and have completed a “Stop the Bleed” course. I’m available most days with a few days notice. I am able to come over and walk your dogs or just spend time with your pets. I can easily come to you and do whatever is needed. Walks, feedings, etc. I am very attentive and love to play with your pets.
About: I have grown up with dogs in my family and know how much love they deserve and how much happiness and joy they bring to us. I can feed your dogs, give them necessary medication orally, bathe them if necessary and of course give them yummy treats! I am a full time stay at home mom to my six year old daughter and 2 year old son. I am very flexible and willing to accommodate if necessary for my clients. I live in a great part of town with lots of exploring Available during our doggy walks. Our backyard is fenced in, so you know your baby will be safe and sound. My six year old and two year old love dogs and will be giving them extra cuddles and treats.
About: I've grown up surrounded by animals my entire life, and that hands-on experience is what truly sets me apart. I was raised with three cats (2 indoor, 1 outdoor), caring for them from kittenhood all the way through end-of-life care, including demanding daily routines and administering medication. I also have two dogs of my own: a Mini Australian Shepherd I raised from a puppy and personally trained. He’s so smart he keeps me on my toes, which means I know exactly how to handle high-energy, high-drive breeds and the escape artists of the dog world. The other is a large pitty mix we adopted at age two who came to us with leash pulling, reactivity, excessive barking, and rough play habits, all of which I've worked through and successfully managed. I know how to confidently handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Beyond cats and dogs, I've owned two guinea pigs, a hamster, and fish, so I understand the specific and often overlooked needs of small pets too. I've also assisted my sister in fostering cats, many of whom were shy, post-surgical, or required medication and special feeding instructions, so I'm completely comfortable with pets that need a little extra patience and TLC. Most recently, I pet sat a kitten over spring break 2026, and I'm always happy to sit for other pet owners' animals as well. As a sophomore in Alpha Chi Omega, I bring the same reliability, respect, and communication to pet sitting that I bring to everything I do. I treat every pet as if they were my own, follow your routines to the letter, and love keeping owners in the loop with regular updates, photos, and videos, as often as you'd like. If you're looking for someone experienced, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about animals, I'm your person! I currently only have one exam left, so my schedule is essentially wide open! I'm in Blacksburg and available May 9–12 and May 16–22, with virtually nothing on my plate during those windows. Whether you need someone for a full house sit, multiple check-ins throughout the day, early morning visits, or late night drop-ins, I can make it work. Flexibility is my strong suit right now, so don't hesitate to reach out no matter the timing or frequency! I'm happy to care for pets both in my home and in yours! For in-home sitting and visits at your place, I'm completely comfortable following whatever routine, rules, and setup you have in place, your home, your way. If you'd like your pet to stay with me, I welcome that too! Just note that I live in an apartment, so I don't have a fenced-in yard, but my complex has a dog park and is surrounded by beautiful neighborhood nature trails that are perfect for walks and exploring. I'd also ask that you send everything your pet needs along with them (crate, food/water bowls, bed, toys, leash, etc.) so they have the comfort of their own familiar belongings, which is honestly better for them anyway!

“Meagan was awesome! Especially with a last minute booking, she was available for meet and greet prior and asked and answered any questions with ease. Throughout the stay her communications were excellent and she sent great pictures. We didn’t worry on our trip because we knew Lyra was in great hands!

“Emmy had a fantastic stay with Dalton and his family! Dalton was very detailed and asked plenty of questions prior to the stay to make sure he knew how to take care of Emmy and there wasn’t anything he was missing. I had complete trust that Emmy was in good hands and I would rebook in a heartbeat.”

About: Had a dog growing up; cat for 6 years of my adult life Got into pet sitting for a family with 2 dogs, 3 cats — really enjoyed being active with their dogs and spending time with their pets when needed. I work full time from roughly 8:30-5:00pm I work remote at my home 2-3x a week My hobbies include being active running/walking; so what a perfect way to also spend time with animals as well. Love to travel so schedule can vary. Fenced yard with outdoor grass area. I live near the oceanfront, so I love to be active and walk around my neighborhood and or boardwalk.
“Second time using Sharon and service was again outstanding. Our pup was loved, well-attended to, and received lots of attention. Came back happy and healthy. Sharon is very easy to communicate with, flexible with logistics, and kept us informed throughout our trip. Highly recommend!”
“We truly appreciate the care you gave our girl Roxy. She’s 13 and needs more attention, meds, potty time, etc and you made us feel comfortable with leaving her with you. We loved all the pictures you sent and how you kept us informed of her daily activities. Thank you for being so kind.”
“Nichole was awesome! She accommodated my dog for a trip my husband and I were taking and he had a great time. I’m glad I went with her and if we come back to the area will absolutely use her again.”
“MaryKathryn and Sebastian were an amazing choice for taking care of my baby! As soon as he walked inside he felt at home. They were also super flexible when I needed to change my pick up time! Thank you!”
