Dog Sitters in Swimley, VA

Crystal was an amazing sitter for us. She allowed us to enjoy our vacation to France with peace of mind that the fur kids were in great hands. Her communication was top notch and she send us texts and photos during the week. Don’t hesitate to have her pet sit for you. Thank you Crystal.

Amrith was an amazing cat and house sitter! I was out of the country in a different time zone with extremely limited access to internet, and he took great care to send me daily updates about my cat at times that I would be online — extremely appreciated! He also left my home absolutely spotless. I came home to a very happy cat, and could definitely tell that my cat had a great time with him. I strongly recommend Amrith and would be very happy to leave my cat and home in his care again. Thank you again Amrith!!

We had an online meeting with Khadyjah prior to confirming her as our sitter as it was a long sit with our new puppy. We also had a number of WhatsApp messages. She arrived the night before we left and we were able to talk her through Cody's routine etc. We felt very confident leaving him with her and she kept us updated throughout the sit with messages and photos. It was a delight to have Khadyjah to sit for us and I would not hesitate to recommend her as a sitter. She is very professional and caring with animals and when returned gave us a full run down of what had happened during the time we were away. A very kind and caring person

We would give 6 stars on many of the criteria if we could. This was our first experience and it could not have been better. I think our pets were well taken care of (and in fact spoiled) while we were gone for 6 days. We Mike and Dana to come back for any of our future trips. Top-notch is my qualifier for them.

Jane took great care of the pets and the house. It was spotless upon arrival, the bed was made with clean sheets, and an added plus of flowers. Her communication was excellent and and she sent just the right amount of photos. Jane was reliable, self sufficient, and I would be happy to have her back.

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

I am so grateful to Candace for watching my home - and more importantly, my senior dog - while I was gone for 2 weeks this summer. Right before I left, my dog had to have emergency surgery and the wound did not heal properly. Candace had her hands full dealing with coordinating vet visits, wound care, a less-than-mobile dog and a host of other issues. She was excellent in keeping me updated with texts, photos and videos, and always conveyed a sense of calm and control that I found so reassuring being on the other side of the world during a stressful time in Coconut's life. Candace definitely got more than she signed up for and handled it like a total champ. I am forever grateful. On the home care front, everything was left clean and tidy, plants were watered, and she even met a service professional on my behalf while I was gone. I feel very lucky to have connected with Candace and hope to have her sit again for me and Coconut - hopefully under calmer circumstances in the future!! THANK YOU CANDACE!

I could not recommend Bobby enough to you he looked after my home and my babies to the highest standard one of my babies is very nervous and Bobby was patient with him and connected with him. You can be guaranteed your home and pets are looked after. Thanks again guys.

Sam kept in contact with us and sent pics occasionally. However, the thing that was unacceptable was how little he cleaned the litter box. When we arrived home, my husband checked the litter box as we always do. We have two cats, so it is important that the box is scooped twice a day. This is in my welcome guide. When my husband pulled the litter box out of its holding place, the box was very full of litter, feces, and large clumps of urine. It looked as if the box hadn't been cleaned in days. I immediately messaged Sam and told him that this was unacceptable and we would not have him stay again. (He had asked for another opportunity to stay.) His response was that he scooped the feces once a day and did not realize he was supposed to scoop the whole box. Wow! That response is very disingenuous. It was not worth a response. I would not recommend him if you have cats.

Tammy and her husband did such a great job and we hope they enjoyed their stay! She was very communicative, organized, and tidy. She was responsive and independent during her stay. Our dogs were very happy and well taken care of when we returned. This was our first time hosting and Tammy and her husband were very patient with us and we are grateful. We would absolutely host them again and your pets will be lucky to have them. Thank you both so much! We really appreciate the care you took and attention to detail!

Mary was an amazing pet sitter. Ruthi was well taken care of and she left the apartment spotless. She sent photos often. Ruthi, who is well known in the neighborhood was her usual friendly self, this was enthusiastically shared by our neighbor. She is welcome back anytime she wants.

Jordan was very organized and on top of all the various things required around the house and with our dog Lego. It’s great that he’s close to the DC area and available at the last minute or flexible in a pinch. You won’t regret having him help you out!
