Cat Sitters in Lincoln, VA

Tara

Shwan was a great pet sitter for our dog Leia. He always kept us informed, took very good care of our young dog even when she was feeling a bit sick - always in consultation with us. He provided her with toys and took good care of her. Our plants looked great when we arrived. Even when our air conditioning broke down (in warm Florida), he coordinated the workmen in the house. We would definitely recommend Shawn and Tara as a dog sitter - Thank you so much!!!

Amanda

Amanda was amazing. I felt so at ease leaving Glory in her hands to look after her. Amanda sent regular updates on Glory. Glory isn't one to give cuddles away easily but Amanda certainly got some! :) She even helped with a leak that happened in my apartment while I was away. I am extremely pleased and would recommend Amanda to anyone and also have her back again should it be possible. Thanks again for everything - I was able to travel in confidence and not worry about a thing.

Amrith

Amrith was an amazing cat and house sitter! I was out of the country in a different time zone with extremely limited access to internet, and he took great care to send me daily updates about my cat at times that I would be online — extremely appreciated! He also left my home absolutely spotless. I came home to a very happy cat, and could definitely tell that my cat had a great time with him. I strongly recommend Amrith and would be very happy to leave my cat and home in his care again. Thank you again Amrith!!

Terry

Terry was great to work with and great at communicating every step of the way. He has the experience to know what questions to ask, and went the extra mile to work with our travel schedule when we were dialing in dates and times. I could tell he was a pro at making our two dogs feel comfortable and well taken-care of. We returned to find two happy dogs and our place just the way we left it - only maybe even a bit cleaner!

Ameelia

We were out of the country for 2 months from August to October, and were so happy to have Ameelia take care of our home and our two cats. Ameelia was very responsive and let us know of any issues with the home, took great care of everything, and left the place just as we expected. She was proactive in checking the mail, and let us know of anything important, offered to open and send photos of anything we needed urgently (fortunately there wasn't anything) and sent periodic cat updates. Very reliable, friendly, and clean. We would definitely recommend her to care for your home or pets, and will look for her next time we're on an extended trip.

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

Kate

Super organised, enjoyed my fastidious details, cared for the dogs like her own. Really clean and tidy and very content hounds when I got back. I would not hesitate to recommend Kate - she was absolutely awesome. Brilliant updates too and we even had a video call with the dogs when I was away. 10 stars if I could! Thank you! Please come back!

Margarita

Rita took excellent care of our two senior cats while we were away. She told me that she tried to keep them from being bored, which probably explains why they were so happy and relaxed when we got home!!! She also took good care of our garden and home and was easy to communicate with. Thanks Rita!

Yunice

Yunice and Shin were wonderful dog sitters. Very communicative and sweet to our dog Titi. They were also incredibly respectful of our home and left it clean and Tidy. I would definitely invite them to sit again. Alyse

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.

Indra & Byambasuren

Indra and her sweet family came for another stay at our home this holiday weekend! We are so grateful for the care, love, and support they gave our 4 fur babies. The care was great, our home was loved, and we really appreciated the touch base notes and photos of the girls. Highly recommend this family for a love stay in your home and we can not wait for them to come back!

Julia

Julia & David were wonderful pet and house sitters. Fortunately we were able to meet in person prior to our departure to give them the lay of the land. Julia's background as a Veternarian was an added bonus. They communicated daily with updates and photos of our Pomeranian, Teddy. Our house was left spotless! David also did some light repairs in our lanai/patio. I highly recommend Julia and David for pet /house sitting.

Lisa

Louise and Ben came and took care of our home and house bunnies for a long weekend.  They took great care of the bunnies who were very happy while we were away and they left our home spotlessly tidy and clean. We would be very happy to recommend them .

Rachel

This is the second time Ali and Mark have sat for us and taken care of our cat Ernie and once again I have no hesitation in giving them five stars across the board.

They stayed in touch in the run up to and throughout the sit - and left the house beautifully clean and tidy. Ernie seemed very happy and chilled on our return - which says it all. In fact I'm not convinced he'd noticed that we'd been away!

If Ali and Mark offer to sit for your pet then I'd recommend snapping them up!
