“Cheryle is by far the sweetest and most caring pet/house sitter. She goes above and beyond to take care of our babies and thoughtful gestures throughout the house. She’s our go to person every time. We can enjoy our trip knowing everything is perfect!”

“Selena took care of our pup on short notice and did a great job! She made us feel super comfortable by meeting us/our dog a few times before we left for our trip. She sent photos every day and our usually shy pup warmed up pretty quickly!”

“As always, Hunter took such wonderful care of our dogs. They are always happy when we get home and the house is spotless. They go crazy with excitement, of course, when we get home, but it’s obvious that they have been relaxed, entertained, and taken care of. I cannot imagine leaving our dogs with anyone else, we have absolutely no worries about them or our house while we are away.”

“Steve and Wanda have been “baby sitting” my animals for a few times now but never as long as this trip we took for more than 30 days. They were awesome and looked after our animals as their own and also lived in our home and looked after everything like we would do ourselves. My neighbours will miss them I think … lol! They are definitely part of our community and I will ask them to look after my animals over and over as long as they can. Thank you Steve and Wanda for the way you leave my home, it is a pleasure returning and everything and everyone is happy and just great. I can recommend Steve and Wanda if you would like peace of mind that your animals will be loved and looked after like yourself. I am so grateful to them, thank you!”

“We (both humans and dogs) adore Billie. The pups got so much love that they barely noticed when we returned after a week 🤣. We got photo updates every day and lovely check-ins throughout our vacation. This was our first time booking with Billie and we will definitely use her again! So nice to trust that our fur babies are well taken care of while we're away.”

“Justine is outstanding! I never worry about our animals when we go out of town and leave her in charge. She handles our reactive dog with ease and understanding and we just really appreciate the care she takes of them!”

“Gussie took care of our dogs on such short notice, which was a relief after our other sitter cancelled due to a family emergency. Gussie communicated and sent photos daily, which I appreciated. One of our dogs is 17 and she met his senior needs. Our other dog usually takes a while to warm up to people, but it did not take her long to warm up to Gussie.”

“Highly recommend! Morgan was absolutely fantastic looking after our boys. I tend to get anxious when I’m away from them, but she kept me at ease by keeping me informed with updates. Will be using her again!”

About: I have cared and loved on pets for as long as I can remember, either through family friends, neighbors, and of course the animals in my home. As a Personal Trainer, Outdoor Adventures Guide, Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Aide, and previous babysitter/camp counselor I have a passion for the outdoors, staying active, and experience with caretaking. I am currently an undergraduate student with flexible hours, experience with high energy pets, and seeking an opportunity to give your pets amazing help and care! I'm currently a undergraduate student with flexible work hours, allowing ample time to spend with your pets! I love taking walks in both the morning and afternoon, and would greatly enjoy a furry companion to join me! House and petsitting in a clients home will include frequent play time either in the backyard or at a dog-park, ample cuddle time, and daily walks. I will also ensure that the home is tidy and that any pet mess is take care of during my stay.
About: I have been raised to care for pets. My entire life my family has had Labs, and I have grown to love them so very much. I also have experience with Cats, Ferrets, and now I have my own Bunny! I am on summer break from Roanoke College so I am free anytime to care for furry friends! Whatever their needs are, I am there! In my house, each of my pets have their own litter boxes, water/food bowls, and my bunny has her own room. I devote hours each day to provide enrichment to each of my pets. I would do the same with my clients pets!

“Kristi was an awesome sitter! She was attentive to our shy pup, and both of our dogs were left tired and content after a weekend with her. She spent a ton of time with them and clearly cares about the animals she works with. We definitely plan to book her again in the future!”

“Denise was great with our golden retriever. She kept us in the loop with pictures and texts. Will definitely book her again for Finley!! Very dependable and could even tell she stayed at the house.”

About: I’ve been around all types of animals ever since I was born- ranging from small dogs, large dogs, cats, reptiles, and avians! I enjoy taking care of fur-babies of different species. Working in veterinary medicine for 5 years and on-going has taught me a lot about taking more in-depth care of our fur-babies. From medicating with pills to injections or even handling them on case to case basis. I currently work full-time as a veterinary assistant from 7-5 and I am willing to work with schedules if need be! I’m available almost every weekend and have Thursday as a day off. My schedule is flexible and very open! I’m comfortable with leash walking, fenced in back-yards, and crating. Feeding on a schedule and making sure that they will get the potty breaks and exercise they need!
