Dog Sitters in Westchester, VA

Gayla & Gene

Gayla and Gene are a lovely couple, they are very passionate about dogs and took pride in playing with and walking our two dogs. They also took care of our chickens. They were clean and tidy in the house and we would recommend them to other pet parents.

Maria

Maria is reliable and my pets love her. Thankful for her caring heart and thank you for taking care of my plants

S & Rick

Sao was quite a find among the zeewoi community we have come to know and love. One of our repeat sitters suddenly had a family emergency that led to last minute cancellation. We quickly listed our dates and within about an hour, Sao came to our rescue based on a referral from yet another one of our amazing past sitters. Given the personal reference, we didn’t hesitate to accept her application before we even arranged a chat shortly thereafter. Sao literally dropped everything to help us out on a pinch, and we’re so lucky to have met yet another kind, caring and stellar sitter. Our cat Sopo had a badly sprained leg, and Sao kept her comfortable and carefully monitored her need for pain medicine to help her recovery. When we returned, Sopo was back on her feet and both kitties were clearly well loved. You simply won’t find a more kind and caring sitter than Sao. Highly recommended.

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.

Safiya

Our home was in good hands with Safiya!

Nicole

Nicole came for a long weekend and took care of my horses, dog, and cat. She had good prior experience doing farm sitting and was familiar with a barn and horses. They were fed and cared for following the instructions very carefully. Nicole handled some complications with the dog competently without a problem, and the cat adored her. The house and barn were left tidy and the plants and garden were all still alive after several very hot days. Overall a good experience.

Virginia & Chris

Ginny & Chris are honest, reliable, friendly and relaxed people who have a genuine love of animals. When they arrived they got the usual barking welcome from Molly but within minutes she was calm and comfortable. Both our cats usually disappear when visitors arrive however they instantly took to our sitters and hung around all night. Flo is an old dog and you have to be patient with her. Ginny & Chris have experience with older dogs and were keen to know everything about her so she would be comfortable while we were away. They kept us updated while we were away with photos and little videos of our pets which was lovely and very much appreciated. Upon arriving back all our animals were healthy, happy and relaxed. The house was clean and tidy and Ginny and Chris had cooked a lovely dinner for us. If you want interesting, relaxed, friendly and reliable pet loving people then this couple totally fit the bill. We would not hesitate to have them back. Thank you for looking after our beautiful animals and home.

Steve

Steve was a fantastic sitter. We had the privilege of meeting him prior to our departure. He went above and beyond, asked about watering plants and retrieving mail (that I forgot to stop). He didn't communicate much, but he had asked if we wanted daily updates and we did not. When we did reach out, he responded promptly. I would definitely recommend Steve for the job!

Tim

Tim was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. My cat, Maraca, is quite hissy and unfriendly to new people. But Tim completely won her over--in fact, I returned home to a more affectionate, happy cat than the one I had left! He sent me regular updates, that showed Maraca warming up to him (eventually, she was even letting him pet her). My home was clean and tidy and in perfect condition, but even better, Tim left me some framed photos of Maraca, and some of his records to listen too. Super thoughtful!! Tim is a superstar sitter. Maraca and I would love to have him sit again, and we would recommend him wholeheartedly. Thank you Tim!!

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!

Kate

Kate was a fantastic house/pet-sitter! She's welcome back any time!

Dawn

Dawn was great with our dog Luna. She communicated well and left everything neat and tidy. I would love to have her come back and sit again!

Elsa

We absolutely loved meeting Kalli and her sweet daughter, Cora. They took excellent care of our mini farm (6 goats, chickens, ducks, pig, dog and cats) while we were away. It was the most relaxing getaway for us knowing that our farm was in such good hands. Kalli is an absolute natural when it comes to animals. She can handle all of their shenanigans with ease and humor and does such a great job making sure that they have everything that they need. Cora has the same love for animals like her mom and did a wonderful job making sure everyone got their daily dose of cuddles. I would ask them to watch our little farm again in a heartbeat. Not only were they fantastic farm/pet/ house sitters, but we also felt like we made good friends instantly. We highly recommend them!

Rae

Mickie was the perfect House-sitter- she and her dog Oscar and her father took excellent care of my dog Trixie, sent me daily photos, walked her regularly, and left my house probably cleaner than before she came. Mickie is completely self-sufficient and totally reliable! Can’t recommend her too highly.
