Dog Sitters in Mechanicsville, VA

Robyn was fabulous! She took really good care of our kitties, making sure they were constantly entertained, well-fed, and loved. She checked in with daily.updates and pictures, which were very helpful. Things went a little sideways when our cats got a bad batch of food - the first time this has happened in three years of cat ownership - and of course it happened while we were away! Luckily for us, Robyn helped to make sure they got back to good health and put them first. Whoever gets Robyn next will be very lucky to have her as their sitter.

Again, really fantastic sit. Good communication and incredibly reliable/dependable. Much appreciated!

Sara and John were excellent sitters! I mainly communication with Sara and she was always prompt, efficient and super polite. She sent pics every day (not necessary, but I did love them!) and asked good questions prior to their stay. The cats were happy when we returned -- which for me indicates they were also happy when we were gone. Sara & John arrived on time, left when they indicated they would and took amazing care to tidy up -- changed and washed the sheets and towels and left the house immaculate. I'd definitely have them back again. (Thanks, guys! Hope to have you here another time!)

Lindsay and Kevin sat for us a second time. They were great as usual. Sent wonderful pictures, kitties were in great shape, and the house was nice and clean. Will always welcome them back!

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.

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.

Mimi is the best of the best. She is a perfect communicator, extremely responsible, extremely friendly, and interesting. We would have her sit again for us any time. She had to trouble shoot a flooding situation in our basement and it didn't faze her at all. It was a long stay and by the end, I wished we had met in person since I now consider her to be a prospective friend. Excellence all around.

Mary ended up doing an extended sit for us, taking care of the house and occasionally taking care of Abby after the first scheduled stay. Abby warmed up to her pretty quickly and was keeping Mary company on the couch within a day or two. We are looking forward to seeing Mary again, she was great

Steve was a fantastic sitter. We had the privilege of meeting him prior to our departure. He went above and beyond, asked about watering plants and retrieving mail (that I forgot to stop). He didn't communicate much, but he had asked if we wanted daily updates and we did not. When we did reach out, he responded promptly. I would definitely recommend Steve for the job!

Jaclyn stayed at my home for a week to care for my senior cat Momo, who has a hyperthyroid condition and needed to be given a transdermal gel medication twice a day. Jaclyn managed this well, and I returned to find my cat very calm and happy after having been well cared for. She sent me regular pictures and videos of Momo, relaxing or enjoying attention! The house was neat and tidy as I returned. I would recommend Jaclyn as a good, kind, and competent pet sitter.

Joe stayed with our little Buster for 6 days and did a wonderful job. Prior to his stay, Joe met with us to get the house tour and meet Buster, which was very helpful and comforting for all of us. During his stay, Joe was self sufficient and responsive. We received updates during his stay which is always nice. Coming home, our house was tidy as if no one had even been here. And Buster was so happy and calm. We’d welcome Joe back anytime-thank you, Joe!

Dawn was great with our dog Luna. She communicated well and left everything neat and tidy. I would love to have her come back and sit again!
