Cat Sitters in Zion Crossroads, VA

Diana

Diana was a great to have on our farm. Perhaps her nursing background gave her the tools to problem solve quickly and efficiently, but handling a 400 acre farm with animals is no easy feat. She did all of this with the utmost care and concern, while navigating the quirks of our 18th century farmhouse with a plumbing project ongoing. She administered our 4 dogs monthly medicines, kept track of the 2 cats and the barn cats, and basically enabled the pets to fall in love with her. She kept out pool and jacuzzi balanced, watered our plants in both greenhouses and around our home, and then left our home neater and cleaner than when we left. She was a gem and I would love to have her house sit anytime, I can’t recommend her highly enough!

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! 🙏🏼

Grayson

Grayson was a wonderful pet sitter, took my babies on nice walks around the lake. Hopefully she will be available again sometime .

Nastassja

I am so grateful for Nastassja's gentle, loving care of my pup! I highly recommend her and would be happy to have her again.

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.

Fernando

Great couple that really cared for our house and dogs. Would recommend them for anyone. They kept us updated and communicated with us while we were gone. We really felt confident that our house and fur babies were in good hands.

Sabrina & Caroline

Sabrina and Caroline were wonderful. They were very concerned for the welfare of my pond and fish. There was an issue with my pond and Sabrina took care of handling the situation to my satisfaction. They are both delightful and I felt that if anything came up, they would be able to handle it and keep me informed.

Carolyn

Carolyn was a good sitter and took care of both our home and our pets well.

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!

Andrea

Roisin is the best sitter you can get. She is a very friendly and open minded person and we spent a couple of days together before I started my holiday trip. She connected with my dog Vida from the very first moment and she handled her personality and her special needs with much love and responsability. She is very polite and living toghether with Roisin was a pure pleasure. I did not have to worry at all about anything. She was very respectfull with my personal space and it was a pleasure having funny and also deep conversations with her.
Vida loves her very much and I am sure she will miss her 2nd Mom when she leaves us. I came back earlier than it was planned and Roisin had to change her plans because of my return. 
While I was on holiday she sent me updates and fotos of Vida every day and kept me posted about everything. 
My home was clean when I came back and she took care of everything I asked for. 
Vida has some health issues and Roisin made sure that she understood everything about this before I left. I would love to have her as Vida´s sitter again in the future.
She did a great job!

Joseph

Debbie was very communicative from the get go and very friendly. She was on time for the meet and greet with Gorby and Sylvie, curious to know them and their routine, and very detail oriented. While I was away she routinely sent me updates on how they were doing and sent photos as well. The cats took a liking to her right away. When I returned home the place was cleaner and tidier than I had left it. I would not hesitate to recommend Debbie as a pet sitter.
