Pet Sitters in Sandston, VA

EmmaLee

EmmaLee has sat for us two times now and we’ve been very satisfied - as has Strudles, which is the most important thing.

Caroline

I only met Caroline as Zainab came a day later. The time I had with Caroline to go through things, she seemed very confident and capable. Rolo, my pup took to her immediately so that was good to see. They kept in touch, with some photos where Rolo always seemed to be very happy, having fun. They asked for things and let me know of anything that I might need to know. I think they were a great fit and fully recommend them.

Madelyn & Graydon

This was our first experience of sharing our home and labrador with house sitters, and we were a little nervous about being on the other side of the world for three whole weeks. We needn’t have worried. Madelyn and Graydon were super organised and we had excellent communication before and during the stay. Frequent updates on Molly who was clearly happy to have found some younger playmates and thrived, I think she is missing them already. At my request they arrived a day early so we could do a proper hand-over and they were great guests for this time. House was spotless and they left a detailed report of their experiences with the house and Molly which were very helpful as a hand-back. We would jump at the chance of having them here again if they are available.

Lisa

I am lucky to report that I have had another excellent experience with zeewoi. Lisa cared for Olive for 8 nights, and all went well. She was great at communicating, from the initial FaceTime meeting, to questions ahead of time to giving me updates on Olive during the sit. She was helpful and did a few easy errands for me and the house looked great when we got home. Olive was happy and relaxed when we returned, which is the most important thing. Plus she said she enjoyed Olive's company which always makes me happy to hear. You'll be in good hands with Lisa for a sit!

Ibrahim & Sally

Ibrahim sat for us during a summer weekend. He arrived just before we left on our trip with plenty of time to go over the cat care logistics, and he immediately started connecting with our 3 cats, petting them and playing with them. Ibrahim was communicative throughout the weekend and shared photos of the cats (as well as told us about a tree branch that had fallen in the back yard during a storm). We came back to a clean home, freshly laundered sheets and towels, and happy cats. He also left us some delicious curry he had prepared during his stay! Highly recommend Ibrahim as a cat and house sitter!

Gabriella & Mohamed

Extremely tidy, great communication, and was able to meet my pup Ellie before the sit started. Would definitely have back again

Nastassja

I am so grateful for Nastassja's gentle, loving care of my pup! I highly recommend her and would be happy to have her again.

Annemarie

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.

Juanita

Juanita and her children were exemplary house sitters! When we returned, our pets were all happy and healthy and our house was spotless. It was a joy having them take care of our beloved cats and dogs and I wish them all the best in their future travels!

Jennifer

I can’t recommend Jenn enough as a cat and house sitter! From the moment I met her, it was clear she was trustworthy and genuinely caring. Her warm personality instantly put my cats at ease, and it was heartwarming to see how quickly they warmed up to her. Jenn was fantastic at communicating throughout my time away, providing updates and even sharing sweet photos of my fur babies. Knowing they were in such good hands made my trip worry-free. She followed all the instructions in my welcome guide to a tee and left my home spotless upon her departure. I truly appreciate her attention to detail and the care she showed for my pets and space. I would gladly welcome her back anytime! Thank you, Jenn, for your wonderful care!

Zoe

Zoe was great. She took good care of Mattie, even took her on several long walks in local parks and preserves. She updated us every couple of days with a photo and what they had been up to. In addition, she took good care of our extensive outdoor areas - a large veggie garden, some potted plants and, blue and blackberry plants. She managed to keep all of the plants alive despite record heat and no rain. Definitely would use her again!

Trinity & Taylor

I was wonderful to work with Trinity leading up to and during the sit. Macy, my dog, looked so happy in the updates Trinity shared during my trip. And she kept the house clean and the plants alive and healthy. Would recommend her to anyone.

Gill

Gill's House sit with Ember was great. Ember is adorable,  loves to get cuddles in bed..on his own terms though. Enjoys his food and a playtime session. 

Gill's apartment is super warm and cosy, with spacious driveway, on or off road parking. It has a gorgeous Eastern style back garden off the double doors in the lounge area.


 Lovely big bright bedroom with the most fabulous feather duvet. The kitchen is superbly equipt with everything you would ever look for. 

I highly recommend Gill sit in East Finchley.

Allyn

I really enjoyed looking after the little critters and dogs. I felt relaxed. Thank you.
