Pet Sitters in Overton, VA

Michael & Caitlin

They did an excellent job of taking care of both Tonks and our house. Communication was clear throughout and they were very accommodating to our schedule. Highly recommend!

Heidi & Ryan

Heidi took incredible care of my dog and my apartment while I was traveling for almost a month! She was a great communicator and took the time to understand both my dogs needs and my expectations for how much communication I wanted. She sent me some great photos of him while I was out and was very professional. I would invite her to come house sit again in a second! I could also tell that she really loves dogs and enjoyed spending time with my pup. I returned home to a super clean apartment and a nice note. All to say- highly recommend her!!

Jordan & Adam

Great experience with Jordan! Seamus was well cared for and the house was great. We’d invite to sit again.

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!

Kirsten

Kirsten was an absolute dream! She is incredibly reliable, kind, and responsible. This was our first time using this service and I believe we hit the jackpot with Kirsten! She was very easy to communicate with and sent pictures and updates regularly. We were gone for a month and missed our dog Daisy, so Kirsten’s updates were very helpful! When we came home the house was absolutely spotless. I honestly don’t know how she got it so clean! I highly recommend Kirsten- she’s the best!

Trish

Trisch was an excellent communicator from our initial phone call throughout the pet sit and even sending a sweet photo of the dogs after we got home. She asked excrement questions on the front end making it clear about the experience she had with pets. When we returned pets were happy and the house was just as we left it. Would definitely recommend!

David & Jenny

David, Jenny and family were SO sweet and are amazing pet sitters! They sent us frequent updates and pictures of the animals, and our animals clearly loved them. From snuggling to hiking, they took great care of our pets. We live in the jungle in rural Puerto Rico and they dealt really well with the trials that can come with that :) Our dog and one of our cats don't always get along and they listened to all the nuances of their finicky relationship and I felt confident that they took it seriously and knew what to do to avoid a problem They left the house beautiful and left us the sweetest gift of framed pictures of each of our animals! Their son is a wonderful photographer. We will definitely be keeping in touch with these guys :) and can't recommend them enough!

Jeanne

Jeanne was a great housesitter. She took great care of the pets and house.

Nancy & Ken

Nancy and Ken were great sitters. They stayed in touch with us before and during the sit. Leading up to the sit, they asked thoughtful and appropriate questions. They were organized, giving us their travel information in advance. I really appreciated the time they took to prepare for our sit. They took excellent care of our condo. Everything was cleaned and ready for our return. Most importantly, they took excellent care of our cats. Gypsie and Lake warmed up to Nancy and Ken quickly. The pictures we received every couple of days showed me that my girls were having a good time and enjoying their new friends. I would recommend Nancy and Ken to anyone looking for mature, responsible sitters. If you want to leave your home and pets in good hands, allowing you to travel worry-free, they are the perfect people for the job.

Kathy

We are so thankful to have met Kathy and Mike! They were amazing from start to finish. They had excellent communication throughout the whole process. The dogs loved them immediately. Kathy frequently sent pictures of the dogs. We are thankful our dogs got to share some love and joy. I have never come home to such happy, calm animals. We suspect Mike spent more time on the floor than in a chair. Kathy and Mike made me feel secure for this first sit with Zeewoi. We talked, texted and got pictures. They gladly came the night before so we could get an early start. They were easy to talk to, and genuinely kind. I wish we lived closer to these new friends. BONUS: We came home to a perfectly clean house!

Alexander

100% THE BEST! Catherine and Alexander took such wonderful care of our pets. They sent thoughtful updates, and the house was in perfect shape when we returned. Being away felt like such a breeze with these two at our home 🙌

Katie

Katie was very attentive to Jester & Bubba during her sit and regularly topped up the horses water and handled the minimal care for the horses very well. Jester & Bubba had a fantastic time and were well cared for during their staycation!

Edlyn

Lauren is a wonderful, organized, responsive, and engaging house sitter.  It was great to communicate with Lauren - she is very responsive, clear, personable, and engaging.  She left our home impeccable.  She has substantial experience with cats and we noticed that when we returned, our cat was comfortable, active, and affectionate.  It's not unusual for him to be aloof when we return from a trip but this time, he just seemed to be doing really well and didn't miss a beat.  Thank you, Lauren!  It was wonderful working with you!

Sandie

This was such a wonderful sit! Sandie was easy to coordinate and communicate with throughout, her apartment was cozy, pleasant, and had everything needed, and the location steps away from both the park and super quiet. And of course, the highlight of my week - Simba and Tiloup! Affectionate, playful, silly, and truly one of the most lovable cats I’ve had the pleasure of spending time with. Highly recommend this sit !
