Cat Sitters in Union Mills, VA

Carlinda & Kent

Carlinda and Kent were the absolute best sitters for our three dogs. We are rarely able to get away for an extended period of time. Carlinda and Kent provided the best care we could have asked for. While we were away, one of our pups needed some medical attention....we simply lucked out by having such amazing caregivers...from vet appointments to constant updates, we knew that we had nothing to worry about. We would HIGHLY recommend Carlinda and Kent and truly hope that we can have them back.....our boys miss 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.

Elizabeth

Another fantastic experience with Elizabeth! We were on vacation for 12 days and had total peace of mind with Elizabeth looking after our sweet Zoe and the house. She is super self-sufficient and happy to help with garden upkeep and anything else that comes up during a stay. Plus there's nothing better than returning to a well cared for and happy kitty, and a spotless house with linens laundered, trash taken out, and a sweet bouquet to welcome us home! Absolutely looking forward to the next chance to have Elizabeth come and stay. Thank you Elizabeth! 🙏🏼

SHANDI

Shandi was amazing taking care of Sandy while I was traveling. Communication was crystal clear, Sandy was really chill when I was back and the house was pristine. Hope to have her taking care of Sandy again in the future.

Matthew

Matthew watched our house, two dogs, and cat while we were away for two weeks. He was incredibly communicative in preparation for the housesit and while we were away. He kept us up-to-date on how things were going and with questions he had to best care for our animals. He went above and beyond what was expected by taking our trash to the dump and letting us know about issues we were unaware of with our house and plants. He was incredibly personable and when we returned I think our house was cleaner than how we left it! We would highly recommend Matthew without hesitation and hope he wants to housesit for us again in the future.

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!

Alison

Merci Alison for being one of the best Housesitter! You truly are the most wonderful, kind, caring and loving person. Our sweet Oskar was so happy when we arrived home and I don’t think he wanted you to leave! You left our home so beautiful! Looking forward to having you sit again! Big hugs, Una, Mike and Oskar.

izak

Isak and Carolien were wonderful housesitters! They came by before our trip to meet the pets and get a tour of the house, and they were so nice and sweet to our dog and cat. They took Ruby on walks while we were gone, sent updates, and left the house very clean. We’d be happy to have them return!

Martin

Martin was an amazing pet sitter! He was loving and attentive to our 4 cats. He was great about giving medication and lots of cuddles. He sent pictures and reassured us regularly that all was well. We really enjoyed getting to know him and would love to have him come again.

Hope

Hope was a delight to have in our hope. She sent us daily pictures and updates of our dogs and was easy to communicate with leading up to the housesitting period.

Tracy

Tracy took great care of Bentley and I could tell when I got home that Bentley had bonded to her already. It was really hot and muggy the couple of weeks that I was away, but Tracy managed just fine. Thank you, Tracy!

Jane

Christine and her grand-daughter Hannah looked after our house and four dogs over the August bank holiday.   From the moment we met Christine, we knew she was the right house-sitter for us. Christine is a great communicator, she is reliable and punctual, loves animals and enjoys spending time with them.  She wasn't phased at all by our pack of dogs, who can be a little intimidating at first as they are very noisy and boisterous, and they all loved her in return. 
We came back home to a very tidy clean house (the bedding was already washed and on the line outside!) and a pack of very relaxed dogs - you can't ask for more than that.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Christine as a house-sitter, and have already booked her again for our next weekend break.

Clare

Lisa was our first pet sitter and it was a marvellous introduction. Communication was great throughout , everywhere was clean and tidy when we returned and she took great care of Max. He’s been off his food lately, and I was very touched that she contacted me after we’d returned to check he was ok. I’d recommend her without hesitation and hope she’ll be able to sit for us in the future.
