Personalized care for your dog or cat - Williamsburg

“I was very pleased with Jaret. I had never before left my puppy alone for more than a few hours and I can honestly say I felt super comfortable having him stay with Jaret and Jaret's partner. Both were loving, calm, and attentive caretakers of my dog- and I'm not easy to please! While staying at Jaret's, my pup came down with pink eye. Jaret was forthright and quick to let me know. He gave me options and advice on what to do, and even went as far as to contact Rover to let them know what was going on with my pup's eye. I was very pleased with how Jaret handled the situation, keeping me posted, bringing him to the vet (Jaret even researched and called multiple places around him to find the best possible care and deal) and informing me on my dog's recovery. Jaret brought him to the vet that day to get him medication. 5 days later when I came to pick up my pup, he was in tip-top shape and his happy goofy self! I will definitely be hiring Jaret again soon. Thanks, Jaret!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats & kittens and dogs with their puppies for family, friends and workmates. They’ve snuggled on my lap and slept in my bed and their comfort and routine are my priority. I’m currently working from home so I would be with your pet continuously. Boarding could be any day of the week including weekends….and holidays too. I have a fenced yard and large porch where your pet will be comfortable…although your pet would never be outside alone. I start my day when they do and I’m near a state park where walks are wonderful.

About: I love animals. All animals. I’ve had pets since I was a baby. I have 3 dogs and a Persian cat. I’ve always wanted to work with pets and this seems great. I will love and care for your pet like they were my own and you will never have to worry about them. I know your pets are your family and I will care for and love them. They will be at home in my home. You can work and enjoy your day or vacation without having to worry about your pets. I can watch your pets almost any time. I’m home almost all the time. If there is an appointment or anything that has to be done I will let you know ahead of time. I live in a rural area. Surrounded by the woods and not near a road. Only have 1 neighbor that is close and it’s family. Plenty of room to run and play.

About: I’m a long time cat sitter! I love cats and unfortunately am unable to give one a home due to a family member’s allergies, so I love spending time with other’s! I’m very comfortable with all kinds of cats and have confidence delivering meds when necessary

“Eliza was the absolute best! She was very detailed in her Rover cards. I could tell she was a true animal lover and my senior absolutely loved her! It was such a nice treat to know my boy was safe while I was at work. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Jaret was great with Marti and my mom's dog Maggie. We wound up having to change our drop off and pick up times slightly but Jaret was completely flexible. He took great care of them and made sure they were comfortable.”

“Jodi was great - timely in meeting at our predetermined location, flexible with times, friendly/personable, and forgiving of my dog’s elderly foibles (like sometimes peeing inside). I would certainly have her sit again in the future.”

Timothy E.

“Always does such a great job and personally can tell how comfortable she makes my dog feel and does everything you could ask. Would reccomend to anyone.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and enjoy walking them and getting to hangout with them, though my dogs normally weigh over sixty pounds, I also like walking small dogs. I’m pit bull friendly and I don't mind crazy, jumping, pulling, hyper pups. I can start at 6 am but would like to be home by 9 pm. Hours are, of course, subject to change depending on the amount of clients booked. I provide 15 minute to 1 hour walks, as well as, approved trips to parks. I can also check in on pups for feeding and any clean ups throughout the day.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember and have been dog sitting for friends and family for most of it. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s individual personality (and all their weird little quirks!). I also have quite a bit of hands-on experience beyond my own pets. From 2013–2015, I worked at the Humane Animal Welfare Society (HAWS), where I helped provide formal dog training classes and gained experience with dog behavior and positive training techniques. Over the past five years, I’ve also fostered dogs through New River Animal Rescue — everything from puppies to sweet seniors and dogs with very different personalities and needs. I currently have a 6-year-old rescue mutt of my own, and I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, reinforcing training and routines, or giving a more timid pup some extra patience. Mostly, I just want every dog I care for to feel safe, loved, and at home while their person is away. ❤️ I work from home, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine and I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks and company throughout the day. I work from home, which means dogs in my care get plenty of supervision, attention and outdoor breaks throughout the day. I’m also happy to follow whatever routines, feeding schedules, crate routines or house rules your dog is used to. When caring for pets in their own home, I try to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.
