About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with pets taught me how important patience, consistency, and affection are when it comes to quality pet care. When I was younger, I even helped train my childhood dog, which taught me responsibility, positive reinforcement, and how to understand animal behavior from an early age. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. As a teacher, I’m dependable, attentive, and patient, and I truly enjoy spending time outdoors going on walks and staying active with pets. My goal is always to make your pet feel happy, comfortable, and cared for like family. As a teacher currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the day. I’m able to dedicate extra time and attention to walks, drop-ins, playtime, and maintaining pets’ routines. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I genuinely enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and caring for animals. I love being able to use my summer break doing something rewarding while giving pets the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities as a pet sitter and walker. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and close attention to their individual needs and routines. I always prioritize safe walks, secure environments, and clear communication with owners so they feel confident their pets are in good hands. I’m dependable, responsible, and attentive, which helps me build trust quickly with both pets and their owners. My goal is to create a calm, caring environment where pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Kiara is a great listener, which is a big key to success for making friends with my shy hound. Her updates are detailed, and her photos are informative (and cute!). I went on a week's trip with confidence my pets would be cared for, and they were cared for very well. The most successful part of the experience is that my shy dog was confident and happy when I returned, and I cannot express how wonderful that is. I will call Kiara for our next trip!

Celeste was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was communicative, thoughtful, and consistently kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared about my dog, and seeing how happy and comfortable my dog was in her presence meant everything to me. I could tell my dog felt safe, loved, and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Celeste again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Nancy did a wonderful job caring for our home and our three very different dogs while we were away. She was responsible, communicative, and great about checking in whenever she had questions. She carefully followed all instructions, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable in her care. We came home to happy dogs and a house that was in great shape. We truly appreciated the peace of mind she gave us and would absolutely recommend her to others.

About: I have experience caring for dogs through both long-term and everyday responsibilities, including helping raise my aunt’s dog from puppyhood and regularly caring for my boyfriend’s dog. My responsibilities have included walking, feeding, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing companionship to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give to each pet individually. I understand that being away from their owner can be stressful for some animals, so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring, and positive environment where they feel secure and loved. My experience caring for puppies has also taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of paying close attention to behavior, routines, and energy levels. I treat every pet with the same care, compassion, and responsibility I would want for my own animals. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for my own cats. I make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention and playtime throughout the day. I even take my cat on walks, so I’m very attentive to both physical activity and emotional enrichment. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so being patient, observant, and consistent with their routines comes very naturally to me. II believe pets communicate their needs through their behavior and body language, so I always pay close attention to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I respect each pet’s boundaries while also giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, maintaining their routine, and making sure they don’t feel lonely or stressed while their owner is away.

I can’t say enough good things about Miranda. It’s clear she has a real knack for animals; my two dogs were so happy and well-exercised under her care. She was reliable, on time, and made sure everything ran smoothly. We’ve definitely found our go-to sitter and will be using her from now on!

About: My name is Nick and I am a teacher in Chesterfield county looking to use my love for animals as a way to make some extra money over the summer. I have had dogs and cats growing up my whole life and currently have a dog named Bagel and a cat named Friday. I also have lots of experience dog/cat sitting for friends and family over the years ever since I was in high-school. I am a teacher so I won’t be working during the summers so I will have unlimited time during the day/night to take care of your pets and their needs! Once the school year starts I can do weekends and afternoon/nights! I have a lot of energy myself so if your pets love to get exercise/play around I am very up for that. I also try to be very thorough with the pet care instructions and will ask questions/for clarification to ensure I am giving your pet the best care as possible.

What a caring and professional sitter! I'm so grateful to find her! Daniela is the first cat sitter I booked. She is FANTASTIC!! I have two 3-month old kittens who need to be fed 4 times a day with medications and lot of litters. Though this is tedious work, Daniela had been patient from start to end. She gave babies lot of love, followed the feeding schedules every single time. Daniela and her husband played with babies a lot. Babies loved them right away and waited for them to come back every day. Definitely recommend her and she will be my first choice next time!

Brenda is a literal angel on earth. I know we will never find someone else even remotely close to how amazing she is to house sit and watch our dogs for us. If you book with Brenda, you will be giving your pets and yourself a luxury service. Our two dogs are 1.5yrs and 9mos and Old English Bulldogs. They are clever, stubborn, sweet, smart and all the things. I’m home every day with them between night shifts and am well aware of the challenges, constant upkeep, entertaining them, etc., I left instructions regarding what a normal day looks like at our home for Brenda and she blew my husband and I out of the water as far as dog parenting goes! She did enrichment activities, lots of exercise, training, critical thinking skills, and was with them the entire time we were gone minus some short errands. We’ve never left our dogs before and had to make a somewhat last minute, very stressful trip to visit family. I was so anxious and Brenda’s presence, her updates, and great conversations took the anxiety away the very first day we were gone. It was the best feeling! I knew we didn’t have to worry about anything at all other than spending time with my family. Coming home, excited to see our dogs, we walked into a house that appeared as if a cleaning service came, fresh cookies made on the counter for us, and two very relaxed, well behaved, sleepy dogs who obviously had a long day of fun! All we had to do was unpack and relax with our babies!!! I cannot recommend Brenda enough!!!! We are hoping she wants to come back. She did 50000% more than we ever would’ve asked of someone. And if we were rich, I would offer her a full time position in our lives as our dog nanny, trainer, bestie for the dogs and housekeeper!!! Thank you so, so, so much!!!! <3

We have had Kim care for our pets the few times we have needed it for the past year and a half. When scheduling our first long vacation in many years, I made sure Kim was available before doing any planning. I don’t think we’d be comfortable leaving our house and kitties without her! Our cats love her, and my husband and I feel secure knowing everything is in Kim’s hands. She is so thoughtful, thorough, and excellent with communication. We couldn’t ask for a better pet/house sitter!!

Kiara provided an excellent and thorough dog and house sitting service for six days. She sent detailed check-ins and lots of photos, which left me confident that my home and dogs were in good hands. She managed their medication maintenance and separation anxiety as well as yard clean-up, mail check, and a little garden watering. I returned home to a clean house, a clean yard, and content dogs!

The week before our trip, Rebecca came to meet Paintball and get familiar with our home and the cat care supplies and routine. Paintball can be hesitant around strangers, but they quickly became friends! While we were away, Rebecca was excellent at communicating with me and she sent us many pictures of Paintball living her best kitty cat life. She even gave her a thorough brushing! Our house was just as we left it and Paintball appeared to be well cared for while we were away :) We would be happy to use her services again in the future.
