Pet Sitters in Studley, VA

Molly & Rick

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.

Sara & John

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!)

Ella

Ella was absolutely amazing!! I cannot give her enough praise for the fantastic job she did. I felt so safe and comfortable leaving my cat with her and could tell that she was extraordinarily well taken care of when I came back. And the house was spotless! Not only was she a great pet sitter she is also a lovely person, I would have her back in a second.

Catherine & Andrew

Catherine and Drew were wonderful- they were so great with our dogs and were so considerate! Our flight home got canceled and they even came back to walk them after they had left! We would love to have them sit anytime!

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.

Charlotte

We've used Charlotte multiple times now. She is great with our animals and gives them lots of love. Our house is always clean when we get back. We are thankful to have found her.

Josette & Leo

Josie and Leo were conscientious, communicative and friendly - a true pleasure to have in my home while i was away. Most importantly, judging from the frequent updates and photos I received, it was also clear that my cat Stella was very well-cared for. I returned home to both a tidy home and happy cat. Thanks again, Josie and Leo!

Dawn "Aurora"

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.

Skyla

Skyla kept me up to date on my pets care while I was away. I returned to a clean and tidy home. Great all around!

Joe

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!

Oguzhan

We were so pleased with Oguzhan’s care of Teddy and Jake. Oguzhan’s partner Charlotte was also on the sit, agreed to ahead of time and which we appreciated. Teddy, our friendly little pup was their snuggle buddy and warmed up to Oguzhan right away. Shy Jake isn’t as sociable but was well taken care of with his feeding and insulin shots. Communication was great with daily updates and photos. The house was left very clean, linens washed, mail and packages brought in. We were so pleased to get home to our boys knowing everything went so well. Thank you to Oguzhan & Charlotte!

Morgan

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!

Elizabeth

I stayed in Toronto for a little over 2 Weeks in late October. Elisabeth was an amazing host. She kept track of everything and made sure every question I could possibly have was answered. Even during the sit. 
The house was great, tasteful interior, very clean and stacked with everything you need and more. A lot of places are pretty close (Little Tibet, Little Italy, Koreatown, Kensington and more perfectly cyclable). The trainstation is a 20min walk or a short bus ride away, so you can go pretty much anywhere within an hour. 
The cats were amazing too and very relaxed and easy to care for. As long as there’s food in the bowl and a clean toilet they were pretty happy :) Lola is a real charmer, loves to be pet and hang out on the couch with you. Freddie needs a little time to warm up, but once he does he’s lovely. He does hiss in the beginning but doesn’t actually attack or hit you. After a while he came out of his hiding hole and demanded pats and attention just the same. He’s really fun to be around :) 

All in all I really don’t have anything to complain about. Elisabeth is a lovely host, everything was pretty straight forward. The cats are super chill and fun to be around. I had an amazing time and would absolutely recommend :) 

Thank you so much Elisabeth!

Kate

We had such a wonderful time with Ruby!  Kate's flat is in a great neighborhood and Ruby is a sweet dog that loves attention :)

Madelyn

We thoroughly enjoyed sitting with this charming dog.  Very well behaved, obedient, and loving.  The home was beautiful and very comfortable.  If you have the opportunity to sit with this beautiful creature, take it.  Madelyn was very good with instructions and always responded with any issues we had, which were very few.

Rebecca

We had such a wonderful stay at Croft Farm. The owners were super kind and responsive and the environment just lovely. We could not help but loose our hearts to the piggies, goats, ducks and sheep. They all had their own personalities and were a joy to look after. We would love to visit again. Thank you B&C!

Christina

Christina's home was in a very quiet area very near London. She left us recommendations on how to get around there, places to visit and she even left us some food in the fridge. I can say that the communication was perfect before and throughout the sit. Ninja was lovely, he would come to us for some cuddles if he wasn't sleeping on his favourite step on the stairs. The fish were super easy to take care of and entertaining to watch. This was an incredible sit for us.
