Pet Sitters in Clifton, VA

Nadine

Nadine is such a warm, caring and thoughtful person, and was truly the most wonderful cat and home sitter. Communication was a breeze and during introductions she took the time to thoroughly get to know and understand our cats, their quirks, and their needs. While we were away, we had complete peace of mind because we knew our cats were in the best possible hands. Nadine often sent us photos, which was wonderful because we could see our cats were having an absolute ball with her! Our home was spotless and she took such good care of everything. Nadine is truly among the best sitters we have ever had, and we highly recommend her.

John McShea

This was John's second sit with our beloved Bridget and we continued to be so pleased. He is a great example of the "trusted" part of zeewoi. He is conscientious, very tidy and cares about Bridget's comforts and needs. His communication was clear and regular. John will always be welcomed in our home.

Sarah

Sarah was EXCELLENT pet and house sitter! I will definitely be calling Sarah to come back again the next time I travel. I was especially impressed with her clear communication with me; the way my normally shy Maltese took to her immediately; her attention to detail; her flexibility; her reliability; her dependability; her kindness...I recommend Sarah very highly! She has restored my faith in using this sight. Thank you, Sarah!

Khadyjah

We had an online meeting with Khadyjah prior to confirming her as our sitter as it was a long sit with our new puppy. We also had a number of WhatsApp messages. She arrived the night before we left and we were able to talk her through Cody's routine etc. We felt very confident leaving him with her and she kept us updated throughout the sit with messages and photos. It was a delight to have Khadyjah to sit for us and I would not hesitate to recommend her as a sitter. She is very professional and caring with animals and when returned gave us a full run down of what had happened during the time we were away. A very kind and caring person

Emily & Julia

Emily and Julia were wonderful! Very pleasant, responsible and very easy to coordinate with. I could tell they love pets and really enjoy taking care of animals. And they left the house spotless.

Fiorella & Pietro

Fiorella, along with her partner Pietro, watched my cat (Adelle) and my home for 10 days. Fiorella was so easy to communicate with from the start. She made time to come by before her sit began, and kept me updated regularly while I was away. I found her to be very reliable and caring, and it was clear that Adelle warmed up to them quickly. They took excellent care of my plants and home and left everything tidy and clean. I would gladly recommend them and hope they are available for future sits with Adelle!

Stefan & Karis

Stefan was great and Finn immediately took to him. Stefan greeted him and then sat on the floor to visit with Finn. Finn loved that and proceeded to sit and cuddle with him. We knew Finn was in good hands! Upon our return everything was just as we left . I would recommend Stefan & Karis highly and would welcome them back anytime!!! Thanks Stefan!!!!!😀

Carel

Carel took great care of our dog Bhindi and provided us with regular updates. She left our home clean and tidy, and was very self-sufficient. We’d be happy to have her sit for us again!

Melva A

Melva was terrific. She took excellent care of our cat and did it all while going to work and dealing with a death in her family. When we returned from our four-day trip, our place was spotless.

Katie

Katie was wonderful. Lots of pictures of the animals great communication. My house was left just the way I left it and most importantly my dogs and cats were happy to be in her care.

Alicja

Alicja took great care of Suki when I went on vacation for a week! She kept the apartment clean and tidy and played with Suki lots and kept her company. Would definitely welcome her back and strongly recommend!

Emily & Greg

Emily and Greg were our first housesitters and it was a wonderful start for us. They went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable with us and even more important, that Rebel was comfortable with them. I was fortunate they lived in the next neighborhood over so they stopped by several times to walk with Rebel and me and the day before our trip, Emily came by to take him out alone to ensure there were no issues with a stranger coming into the home while we were gone. In addition, Rebel is a large rescue dog and, although he is usually well behaved, none of us were sure how he would be when we left as we adopted him during the pandemic and we have been home pretty much 24/7. In addition, she had to attempt to keep Rebel from consuming too many cicadas which was a chore in itself. All went perfectly. Our house was left tidy and she even had to clean up some things that Rebel got into - he loves pillows, tissues and plastic bags. This was by no means her fault, we left them where he could get them.....and he did:) Emily communicated with me by text daily and we talked about how it went once we returned home. We came home to a happy dog which of course made us very happy and more comfortable with doing this again. Feel free to reach out to me if you need more information about this housesit. I would be delighted if they were able to housesit for us in the future and recommend them without reservations.

Jackie

Tillie was such a sweet pup!  She followed me everywhere and gave plenty of cuddles.  Jackie’s apartment was comfortable and in a great location.  Tillie loves her walks so I was able to explore a lot of the beautiful tree-lined streets nearby.  Jackie’s instructions and communications were spot on!  It was a pleasure!

Jen

An extremely clean & warm & welcoming home! Koda is the cutest & sweetest pup. Jen was great with communication & details for caring for Koda.

Jennifer

Had a great and relaxing time in a very comfortable house, bed, bedroom, overall layout and, most importantly, Dog named Turk. Turk was a delight and easy to get to know a care for. He is an older dog with some arthritis so we coddled him and he loved it. 
Great view of the Willamette River and its cataracts and old paper mill. Mt. Hood screams at you from its snowy coating down way below the tree line -- this time of year. 
Couldn't ask or find a better sit on THS.

annie

We had a great sit for Annie and Neil.  Their house had everything that we could possibly need and we were very comfortable there.
Their sitter guide gave us loads of helpful info both for their house and cat but also things to do and see in and around their area - which we took advantage of. Sula their cat was a pleasure to care for and no trouble. We would love to house sit for them again in the future. Sue and Steve

Eve

Eve and the family were so accommodating and kind. George was an absolute delight to take care of. He is so sweet. He is best friends with all of the neighbors and loves to cuddle. I definitely recommend this pup and family and I'd be happy to return!
