Dog Sitters in Lakeside, VA

Molly and Rick were wonderful with our sweeties, and great communicators. I also appreciate the efforts that they made to keep the apartment clean, including the sheets and towels so I won't have to add this to my plate when coming back from the weekend with three teens.

Grayson was a wonderful pet sitter, took my babies on nice walks around the lake. Hopefully she will be available again sometime .

Hana’s care for the cats and the house was excellent. We would not hesitate to engage Hana agin for future sits.

Very polite and informative. Hope she watch my pups again.

Sao was quite a find among the zeewoi community we have come to know and love. One of our repeat sitters suddenly had a family emergency that led to last minute cancellation. We quickly listed our dates and within about an hour, Sao came to our rescue based on a referral from yet another one of our amazing past sitters. Given the personal reference, we didn’t hesitate to accept her application before we even arranged a chat shortly thereafter. Sao literally dropped everything to help us out on a pinch, and we’re so lucky to have met yet another kind, caring and stellar sitter. Our cat Sopo had a badly sprained leg, and Sao kept her comfortable and carefully monitored her need for pain medicine to help her recovery. When we returned, Sopo was back on her feet and both kitties were clearly well loved. You simply won’t find a more kind and caring sitter than Sao. Highly recommended.

Steve and Donna are AWESOME!! And wonderful people. If Steve and Donna apply accept, both Steve and Donna and super friendly and big hearted people. I feel it is the beginning of a good friendship and are welcome in my home anytime. Before the visit we met via video conference where I felt extremely comfortable enough to accept immediately so that we could plan the video/travel. During the stay Steve and Donna provided me with continuous updates and Narla warmed up to Steve and Donna quickly (Narla is not quick to trust). Which means they understand cats and how to take care of them. Steve and Donna left the flat in an extremely tidy state and returned to a relaxed and happy cat. Overall Steve and Donna did a fantastic job of taking care of Narla and I look forward to seeing them again in the future. Thank you Steve and Donna, I truly appreciate you taking care of Narla and my home.

Nicole came for a long weekend and took care of my horses, dog, and cat. She had good prior experience doing farm sitting and was familiar with a barn and horses. They were fed and cared for following the instructions very carefully. Nicole handled some complications with the dog competently without a problem, and the cat adored her. The house and barn were left tidy and the plants and garden were all still alive after several very hot days. Overall a good experience.

We cannot say enough good things about Annemarie and her care of our dog and home. She knows Roo from a prior sit, so within minutes they were best friends again. She kept in touch with us regularly and sent photos of Roo which we loved. He is very stubborn about not eating when we are gone, so she tried different things with our suggestions and permission. Annemarie took excellent care of our home and plants, both inside and out. She even had muffins for our breakfast the morning after we got home! Annemarie is great about handling whatever comes her way. She has emergency numbers, of course, but she has never had to use them thankfully. We will happily have her care for Roo whenever we go away. We know he is in excellent hands.

Ginny & Chris are honest, reliable, friendly and relaxed people who have a genuine love of animals. When they arrived they got the usual barking welcome from Molly but within minutes she was calm and comfortable. Both our cats usually disappear when visitors arrive however they instantly took to our sitters and hung around all night. Flo is an old dog and you have to be patient with her. Ginny & Chris have experience with older dogs and were keen to know everything about her so she would be comfortable while we were away. They kept us updated while we were away with photos and little videos of our pets which was lovely and very much appreciated. Upon arriving back all our animals were healthy, happy and relaxed. The house was clean and tidy and Ginny and Chris had cooked a lovely dinner for us. If you want interesting, relaxed, friendly and reliable pet loving people then this couple totally fit the bill. We would not hesitate to have them back. Thank you for looking after our beautiful animals and home.

Dawn was great! She took very good care of Harley and left everything clean and as she found it when she arrived. She also kept me up to speed on how Harley was all weekend. I would highly recommend her as a sitter.

Carolyn was a good sitter and took care of both our home and our pets well.

Morgan did a great job with watching Roxy and taking care of my home. She did some laundry, cleaning and even cut up extra treats for Roxy for when I got home. She was super easy to communicate and coordinate with. We’d love to have her back if she’s ever in the area again!
