Cat Sitters in Sudley Springs, VA

Elizabeth

We have been fortunate to have a number of good pet/house sitters for our two rescue cats over the years but Elizabeth is the top of the group! We left for a 16 day trip to South Africa in mid April & felt totally confident that Beth, whom we had used in 2020, would take great care of our home & cats. Beth exceeded our every expectation even though the bar was set quite high! She is totally capable & rose to the occasion when there was an issue with our well water ( needing salt) & carried out the purchase & treating the system with care & precision. Problem solved! She not only takes care of the basic needs of your pets but takes special interest to engage them in play! Our two were nonplussed at our absence & loved having her full attention. All our requests were filled to the letter & I would recommend Elizabeth highly for any pet/house sitting job. She us a delight to work with & even sent photos of our cats for us to enjoy on our trip. Our home was cleaner than we left it & the cats very well taken care of- we are so appreciative & hope she is available for your trip! You will rest easy & your pets will be happy & content.

The Levys

Batya and her sister took great care of our pups. Communication was good and she was able to work with us as our schedule changed multiple times leading up to the trip. Because she was traveling out of town with her dog and were unable to do a meet and greet prior to the stay, there were some unanticipated situations that made the stay more challenging, which she took in stride (mostly our boy dog being too friendly with her girl dog). I was very surprised that during a trip to the park, they had the car windows rolled all the way down with the dogs in the car, leaving Snoop able to jump out on a busy road. Luckily everyone was fine and we appreciated all of the updates and communication throughout the process!

Lisa

Lisa was great! She is so thoughtful and caring with great consistent communication. I hope she is available during our next trip!

Manny & Marina

Manny and Marina are the BEST! Easy to communicate with, and I felt confident that they would ask questions if something came up (and they did). They sent just enough updates and photos to keep us reassured but without plunging us into missing our kitties too much. They loved the cats so much that they a) bought us a tiny adorable figurine that looks like one of them, b) came back in for pets and chats a few days after the sit had ended and they had returned for a forgotten water bottle. To sum up, lovely human beings, would totally trust them for anything, the cats obviously really liked them, and the cats and house were well tended while we were gone. Completely recommend without hesitation.

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!

Sarah

Sarah was EXCELLENT pet and house sitter! I will definitely be calling Sarah to come back again the next time I travel. I was especially impressed with her clear communication with me; the way my normally shy Maltese took to her immediately; her attention to detail; her flexibility; her reliability; her dependability; her kindness...I recommend Sarah very highly! She has restored my faith in using this sight. Thank you, Sarah!

Amber

Amber was very communicative and took great care of our chickens. The house was also left in perfect condition so I would definitely recommend her as a sitter

Valerie & David

Valerie and David were the perfect people to help look after our golden retriever Lady. They were extremely kind, thoughtful, responsible, sensitive and aware. We found the best dogsitters in the world. They sent us photos of Lady, they took her for 2 if not 3 walks every day, gave her tons of cuddles and love and affection. They worked next to her in the day time, and tucked her in at nighttime. On our return, they had cleaned the house from top to bottom, bought us fresh fruit for the house and extra baking bits, a beautiful wooden family tree sculpture which they had decorated with calligraphy, baked us warm fresh cookies and written a beautiful card. I could have honestly cried with happiness. We cannot recommend them enough and give them 100 / 10!

Carol & Thea

Our dogs loved Carol and Thea so much they didn’t seem to care we came back! Carol sent great updates with photos and we were completely relaxed knowing the dogs were happy and well cared for. Our house was perfect as well! We were sad to say goodbye and the dogs looked for them through out the day after they left. Many thanks Carol and Thea!! Jane & Glenn

Rawan

Rawan is an absolute gem! First and foremost, she took amazing care of both our home and dog. She was communicative and flexible and left our home immaculate. I can't say enough good things about her and would recommend her without hesitation!

Martin

Martin and Lili were very loving sitters for our two cats. They showed deep and genuine care for them. Both cats clearly felt comfortable around them as they showed their bellies in no time! We appreciated the regular pictures and updates. We also appreciated their flexibility with kids who needed to grab things for college and timing with end of stay. Would have them back any time!

Erika

Erika and her kids are absolutely fantastic sitters. They're wonderful communicators- from great questions prior to the sit to getting multiple photo and text updates daily, we always knew our pets and home were in great hands! I'm pretty sure our dogs were in absolute heaven- they got so much play time and a ton of cuddles. The kids were incredibly responsible and took their "jobs" very seriously, too. If you're hesitant to have kids as part of your sit, don't be- consider them extra hands who are completely dedicated to spoiling your pets. We came home to a spotless house and happy animals- it was like we never left. I can't recommend this family enough and hope we get to host them again. Thanks, Erika and fam!

Hannah

Natania is wonderful! Extremely organized, kind, and positive person! My cat LOVED her. Thanks so much for making my first house sitting experience a breeze!

Sally

Deborah is a wonderful pet sitter - if you want your pets to be very loved, she is the one to choose. 
Deborah spent the night before we left so that we could introduce her to Baxter and share his routine. While we were gone, she sent lots of photos and updates on how he was doing. And when we returned, she had mopped all our floors and the kitchen was shiny. She even left us some bread, fruit, and veggies so we'd have something to eat on a day when all the shops are closed.
We absolutely recommend her for any sitting job.
