Pet Sitting York Terrace

“Lauren did a wonderful job looking after my cat for 10 days while I was traveling. She was on time and did everything I asked of her, including giving wet & dry food, scooping the litterbox, refilling the water fountain, and sending photos of my car during the daily drop-in. The feeding/water area and litterbox were nice and clean when I returned home. I would recommend Lauren!”

“Nicole was a blessing in a pinch. We needed last minute care and reached out to her. She was very responsive and replied back in a timely manner. She took such great care of our Tava. She meds sure her emotional and physical needs were met. We received so many photos when updates were sent. Each time our Tava looked happy and stimulated. We will definitely be using her services again if she is available.”

“Alexis was kind enough to check in on our kitties while we were out of town for a little over a week. We have a hard time leaving our cats as they’re used to someone being home with them all the time, but Alexis gave us all the reassurance we needed. She played with them using their favorite toys and provided us detailed updates. It’s clear from the pictures that our kitties adore her 🥰. It’s important to mention that Alexis took time out of a very special day for her to tend to our kitties, which I cannot thank her enough for. She is highly reliable! Alexis goes above and beyond, as she also cleaned up some broken pots outside that fell due to storm winds. I would highly recommend Alexis to watch any pet and will certainly be reaching out to her in the future when we go out of town.”

About: I love animals, have grown up with dogs and cats, and have been fostering cats for the last 5 years, I including administering all sorts of medicine to cats and kittens. I work from home and go on daily walks, so why not take your pup for a walk as well! I also love to travel and am happy to help other people travel by helping take care of their fur family. I’ve been fostering cats and kittens for over 5 years, and have absolutely loved helping these animals find loving homes. I don’t currently have any animals of my own, which can help make your animal feel comfortable in my home if necessary. I understand a lot of animals require patience and space to warm up, and am happy to work with their comfort level.

About: Ever sense I was a kid I've loved taking care of any animal under the sun, and I still do. When I got my first dog I was so excited and loved him no matter what. I am currently not working so I have all the time in the world for your pets. I am avaliable on weekdays at anytime and will give your pets the attention they want. I can give all of my attention to your pets and make them feel happy and excited or the opposite where both of us can relax and enjoy eachothers company.

“Christina is wonderful! She’s is caring and very reliable. She has taken care of our dogs many times, and we always know they’re in good hands with her. One of our dogs got sick while we were away, and Christina communicated with us immediately and went above and beyond to take care of the situation. I cannot recommend her enough.”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and currently live with four dogs. Over the years, I have cared for six dogs in total, including raising several from puppies. I also help care for my friend’s dog, Oreo, whenever she needs assistance. Because I have experience with puppies, I understand the patience, attention, and consistency they need. I am comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and occasional pet sitting depending on my availability. I am reliable, responsible, and committed to making sure your dog receives the attention, exercise, and care they need. I will communicate with owners and follow all care instructions carefully. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. Having grown up with dogs and raising several from puppies, I understand the importance of routines, supervision, and exercise. I will carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special requests. I will provide updates and photos when requested so you can feel confident that your dog is in good hands

About: I love all animals! I grew up with family dogs, and I have done petsitting for puppies and elderly dogs for friends and family, and seasonally worked on a farm where I worked with guardian dogs, sheep, cows, and chickens. I'd be so excited to take care of your pets with the love and affection they deserve! I work on weekends, so I'm available for dog walking during the day Monday-Thursday for the most part. Would love to walk dogs or sit for them in your home! Unfortunately my home can't accommodate animal boarding. I love to give animals affection and proper care. Good outside time, exploring, playing, and order are all important for making animals feel safe and secure.

“Wonderful working with Robin and Kyle. They took excellent care of our fur baby. And was able to accommodate our schedule. 100% would request them again!! Thanks for everything.”

About: My family has had dogs forever, ranging from small medium and large so growing up with all kinds of dogs has given me experience in how to handle any situation with any dog! I’m currently a college student and away from my dog at home and am looking for any way to have more interactions with pets. Also, my most recent dog is now 2 years old and I did the majority of training, so if there are any needs or wants for training while I am sitting, I am more than capable. I’m currently a full time student and on the William & Mary Varsity Men’s soccer team, however, I have many breaks throughout my day. The only block of the day I’m usually completely unavailable is from 2-6PM When caring for pets in clients homes you can expect the utmost respect for the home but also a willingness to learn how you usually handle your dog at home. Whether that is using the crate and having some more strict guidelines, or if it is a more relaxed environment.

“Chelsea was great with our cat Minnie again. While we were gone, there was a spider problem at the house and Chelsea went above and beyond to make sure Minnie was taken care of. We appreciate her dedication to our cat. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!”

About: What sets me apart is my blend of responsibility, energy, and empathy. As a former Division I athlete and current graduate student, I’ve learned how to manage time, stay calm under pressure, and give 100% to every commitment. I treat each pet like my own with patience, consistency, and care. I’m great with active dogs who need play and structure, but I’m also gentle and attentive with older pets who need a slower pace and extra comfort. Whether it’s sticking to a training routine or just making your dog feel safe while you’re away, I’m someone you and your pet can count on. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m already active, organized, and thrive on structure. As a grad student and former athlete, I plan my days carefully and always make time for what matters including giving pets the attention and exercise they need. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening playtime, I’m flexible and reliable. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, and spending time with them is a highlight of my day, not just a task on my list. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, familiar environment by following their routine closely whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, or play preferences. I keep communication open with regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m respectful of your space and keep everything clean and organized. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I make sure they have a safe, cozy, and supervised environment with plenty of attention, activity, and affection. In both settings, I prioritize the pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness above all.

About: Hi! I’m Jake, a second-year law student at William & Mary Law School and an avid animal lover. I grew up in a home that always had at least three dogs, along with cats, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Being around pets has always brought me so much joy, and I truly miss having them around every day. Since my roommates aren’t looking to have pets right now, Rover is the perfect way for me to spend time with amazing dogs and cats while helping owners feel confident that their pets are in great hands. As a law student, responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail are part of my daily life. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own—whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I keep a structured schedule that makes it easy to plan pet care into my day. I enjoy taking breaks from studying to get outside for walks, exercise, and fresh air, so dog walks fit naturally into my routine. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or spending time playing with your pet, I’m happy to provide them with the attention and care they deserve. I also have flexibility during mornings, evenings, and weekends, allowing me to accommodate a variety of schedules. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and spending time with pets is one of my favorite ways to unwind from school while giving them plenty of love, exercise, and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stick to their normal routine. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise, and any specific preferences or routines your pet is used to. I make sure every visit includes plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and exercise based on your pet’s personality and energy level. Whether your dog loves long walks or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. I also treat every home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of house animals for over a decade, working with all types from small dogs and puppies to my very large white lab Drake and a few different cats! I'm comfortable walking, feeding, crating, managing potty breaks, and diffusing stressful situations (I have a dog who was abused as a puppy and struggles with certain new people so I'm no stranger to barking/feelings of threat). As a sitter, I believe a gentle touch and strong boundaries truly help our pets thrive and grow safely. I can't wait to meet your furry friends! I'm currently babysitting part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule during both weekdays and weekends to check in on and take care of your pets! While caring for pets in others' homes, the first thing I seek to establish is trust. I get it, I'm a new person invading your pet's space and it's scary! That's why I initially take some time to build rapport through playing and petting, and I start with slow, gentle movements. Once they feel more comfortable around me, my focus shifts to making sure they have all of my attention, everything they need (food, water, clean bed, etc.), and keeping the home a safe space for them while you are away!

“Michele was an amazing asset. She did such a fabulous job taking care of my two cats, that they appeared to be disappointed it was me when I came home. Clearly, they were well taken care of in my absence.”

About: I’ve had pets for most of my life. I’ve had two cats and three dogs. My three dogs all weigh over 120 pounds and I am able and used to taking care of big dogs. Well experienced in taking care of multiple animals in a home. I’m well also used to talking care of cats needs, including their needs for space, litter, and playtime. I also enjoy spending time with any animal. I am flexible and free to help whenever needed. When I return to college I’ll balance helping out with your fluffy friends and my academics I will customise my service based on client needs. At home I feed my cat in the morning and early evening, cleaning litter daily and frequent water changes. For my dogs who are maremmas they require specific dietary needs so I cook for them as well as feed them regular kibble. One of my dogs had also specific medical needs.

About: I've had both cats and dogs of all ages and really love spending time with animals. As someone who has frequently had walkers for my own dog I understand how important it is to know your pet is being watched by someone who can give them ample exercise and show them lots of love when owners are away. I'd love to be the one to give it to them! I'm good with dogs of any level of energy and size and love to play! I'm a hiker and would be happy to take your pet along with me if they need extra exercise! I can't wait to get to take care of your pet!

About: Your dog will be treated like part of our family! I work remotely from home, so your pup will have plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. They are rarely left alone at most, about an hour on the occasional grocery trip or quick walk around the neighborhood. My husband also works primarily from home, running his own home services business, so there is almost always someone here with your dog. We understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, especially when they’re away from home. Whether your pup loves to play, cuddle, or simply relax, we’ll make sure they receive personalized care, regular potty breaks, plenty of affection, and a calm, loving environment. We treat every dog as if they were our own and will keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I’m home most of the time, except for quick grocery trips. I’ll be available to give your dog plenty of attention and care throughout the day. We keep your pups active during the day so they’re ready to settle in at night. Dogs usually sleep in their room with their own bed or blanket (if provided), which keeps them safe and cozy. We have a separate room to ensure they’re comfortable and relaxed. Feel free to message us with any questions—we’d love to make sure both you and your pup feel at ease!

About: I have several years of experience caring for a wide range of animals, from beloved furry companions to fish and even large reptiles. My passion for animals began at a young age, inspired in part by countless hours watching Animal Planet, which helped spark my curiosity and deepen my understanding of animal behavior. Over the years, I’ve developed a natural ability to connect with animals, especially those that may feel anxious or unsure. I take pride in creating a calm, reassuring environment that helps pets feel safe and loved. For me, pet care isn’t just a responsibility. It’s a heartfelt commitment. After all, our pets are family, and I treat them as such. At this moment, I currently have no pets. But I am open and available to assist with others who do. I’m pretty flexible. My classwork is self paced. It’s all about what the client needs. Believe it or not but some animals do have allergies. So there are a lot of does and don’ts. Other than that, I assure any mess is cleaned up, pets are fed properly and on schedule, and bathroom breaks are given. And of course play time and walks if needed.
