Elena
Alanthus, Virginia
Quiet, reliable and responsible cat (and small dog) lady
This was our first time using a Trusted Sitter, and I'm so grateful Elena chose to stay with our precious pup. He's a senior dog that requires a little extra attention, and Elena was so kind and caring with him. From our very first zoom call to get to know one another, I knew Elena would be a great fit. She was very organized, told us what she needed to know, and was very flexible when our dates changed a bit. Elena sent several pictures of Beamer every day. My kids eagerly awaited to see what their brother was up to while we were away. He looked so happy in all of his pictures. She took him for walks and gave him plenty of cuddle time. Elena also took such great care of our home. We arrived back to a spotless house! Our experience with Elena was more than I could have hoped for using Trusted Sitter. It was like having an old friend stay over. I highly recommend Elena, and hope she will be available to stay the next time we go on vacation!

Caring, responsible and reliable house and pet sitters since Nov 2020
Once again, Todd and Janis were wonderful sitters. They were easy to communicate with, sent adorable photos, and took great care of our home.
Jasmine

Nature Lover.Artist.Meditator.Traveling Mama.Island Girl. Cat and Dog Whisperer
I've lost track of the number of times Jasmine has house sit for us. As always she is reliable and responsive. I know my house and pets are in good hands with her. She is a great communicator. We came home to a clean house and happy kitties. I highly recommend her!
Sharon
Alanthus, Virginia
Traveling professional with a love for new experiences!
Sharon was just a wonderful sitter. She has an engaging, positive personality and is full of energy. We were happy with the updates and photos of 2 content Goldens, whether on a trail or chilling by her feet. It is so wonderful to go away knowing your fur babies are loved and cared for in their own home. Will need to come up with a trip so we can invite this special lady back.
Brandi
Alanthus, Virginia
Solo sitter with the need to please loving animals while their owners are away.
This was the 2nd time Brandi housesat for us. She did an amazing job again and when I got home, I couldn't even tell that she has even stayed in our guest room because she is so neat! She kept me posted about all of our pets and sent photos. I would definitely trust Brandi to take care of our pets and home again!
Duha
Alanthus, Virginia
I’m either fighting crime or with animals in my downtime <3
We loved having Duha sit for us. Communication was excellent and she needed little guidance after the initial walk-through. Both cats took to her immediately and really missed her when we returned. Duha even navigated some contract work outside the house when workers that we had been waiting on showed up unexpectedly. All in all, we had a great experience and would love to have Duha back any time.
Terry
Alanthus, Virginia
Dependable animal lover excited to care for your fur babies and your home.
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!
Maeve
Alanthus, Virginia
Complete Peace of Mind While You Travel: Loving Care for Your Pets and Home
Maeve was very communicative and kept us updated on our pups and house during her stay. Prior to her visit, she was very organized with a list of questions so she was well informed before she arrived. The dogs seemed happy and well cared for while we were gone. Recommend her to others.
April
Alanthus, Virginia
Experienced animal loving solo traveler. Reliable and clean. Non-smoking.
Olive can be a bit shy with some new people but April quickly won her love. Can’t thank April enough for her care of Olive and our home. Great communication, left our place clean and tidy with a very happy pup. Would love to have her again anytime. Thank you, April!
Lisa
Alanthus, Virginia
English/Theater Teacher (remote), Animal Spoiler, Humane Society Volunteer
What a great experience we had with Lisa. She was so good with Cella. She was very tolerant of Cella's early rising. She's a tiny little thing, but has a big personality and knows what she wants. Lisa was so good at reading her needs. We were able to have a zoom interview with Lisa before we confirmed the sit. She stayed in touch with us daily and kept us updated on how things were going. When we arrived home, Lisa had washed all of the bedding and towels. She vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned the kitchen and bathroom. We couldn't be more pleased with Lisa as our sitter for Cella. We hope we'll be able to have her again. She was awesome.
Reviews from Cat Owners
Janie
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Bee
The best cat sitters ever! They loved our cats and spent so much time playing with them and making sure they were happy! We had photos and videos every day with funny little messages and we came home to two very happy, healthy cats. The house was spotless and they even washed the linen and towels! They left us some cute Easter presents and breakfast shopping in the fridge, as we were returning after a long flight. We would definitely recommend Michael and Jeanne to anyone and hope they will come back to Teignmouth in the near future. Thanks very much for looking after our beautiful cats and our home x
Nina
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Hannah & Dominic
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Stacey
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!

Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!

Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!

Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Katie
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!

We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.

I hired Rachel to care for one cat, several tanks of fish, and my houseplants while I was away for several weeks. She visited prior to meet my cat and to see how to care for the fish and plants. My cat doesn’t warm up to strangers very quickly but she was all over Rachel almost immediately. Rachel did an excellent job. She sent multiple beautiful photos of my cat, Marie, playing happily every day, sent a photo when a sensor I had on one of the tanks was indicating a warning so that I could tell her how to fix it, and, though she said she isn’t a pro at caring for plants, even all of the plants looked great when I got back. I’m very happy to have Rachel to care for my pets when needed and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.
Rachel has been so amazing with walking my dog Betty! She always shows up in the promised/scheduled time frame and the fact that I get pictures while they are out on their walk is the best added touch! Will definitely be recommending her to anyone looking for a dog walker/pet sitter!!
We recently had the pleasure of Animlz providing both check-in & overnight services for our one fat cat & we (and the cat) were so pleased! Both Rachel & Luke first offered their time for a fun meet & greet to get to know our furry fella & to learn all the specific ins & outs of his routine. Being out of state twice, once for a weekend & then for a full week, & having them take care of our little friend was so reassuring with their regular updates & such great pictures! Our little guy seemed to especially be enjoying all the physical playtime activity that Rachel & Luke initiated with his favorite toys. We will definitely be using them for all of our petsitting needs in the future. Thank you again Rachel & Luke, we are so appreciative of all you do!
As a retired pet sitter , I knew exactly who I was looking for. Rachel and Luke fit right in with our demanding dogs and birds. My pets were happy and relaxed when we returned home. We will definitely use her service again.
Rachel is the best. My anxious dogs loved her the first time they met her and she has been so wonderful. She’s reliable, communicative, fairly priced and is there when we need her. Having her watch our dogs has been a Godsend for us and I feel really good knowing my dogs love playing with her. I can’t say enough good things. She and her company are 5-star amazing and we are so happy to have found her. 10/10 recommend with no reservations.
What a fantastic friend for our pooch (and on occasion our cats)! Rachel is one of those folks that is able to immediately establish a rapport with our furry family members. Our Pit Bull adores her and treats her like a family member whenever she comes by. We are so glad to have found Animlz! It's a comfort to know there is someone out there we can entrust the care of our dog buddy to without reservation or hesitation!
We had an awesome pet sitter at our old house, so when we moved to the country from Maryland, I was a little anxious that we would be able to find someone who would take as good of care of our cats and chickens. Then I met Rachel and within just a few minutes, I knew our pets would be in the best hands possible while we travel. She asked all of the right questions about their care and feeding, I felt very confident she would take good care of them in our absence. We just got back from a two week trip to hike the Alps- the longest we have ever been away from our pets- but I knew all would be well when we returned, and it was. Rachel is fantastic and I highly recommend her for her dedication, concern, and attention to detail. Even better? She sends the best animal portraits and videos every time she visits! I feel so connected to our pets while we travel because of her regular communication and I know when we return, the house and coop will be spotless and the cats and chickens will almost be sorry we are home. :) If you love your pets like we do and want them to receive the best care while you travel, reach out to Rachel. I guarantee you will be thrilled with her services.
At our first introductory meeting with Rachel, my dogs were so excited to meet her and loved her right away. In the time since, we use Animlz every week, whether it’s a midday dog walk or up to four times a day when we’re on travel. We trust Animlz to take care of our dogs and our home and the pooches are always happy to see her!
They did a great job caring for my 9 cats and kittens while I was away. They kept me updated on the little ones and even got some of the cutest pictures and videos. I would highly recommend them.
Rachel & her team are awesome! We needed to find a new sitter for our dogs, cat & chickens - Rachel and her crew take the time to learn about your pets and ask the right questions to make sure they get the best care possible. We've used Animlz for both potty breaks & overnights, and have been very happy each time. Thank you so much, Rachel & Luke!

Applewood Boarding Kennels
Recent Reviews:
Della and Applewood are the best! Today I picked up my dog, he has stayed there four times in the last few months. I've taken advantage of their excellent grooming services and had to request a picture or two when we were away multiple days and missed him. Everything is reasonably priced and well organized (the check in and out process takes seconds, you'll see). Lastly, the best compliment that can be made is--my dog hops out of the car when I drop him off and energetically pulls me into the building (enough said).
We had a great experience with boarding our German Shepherd at Applewood Kennels. They took great care of him and went the extra mile to give him some chew treats to help with his anxiety (he was there for an extended stay). We got text updates and pictures from them while we were gone. They were kind, patient and understanding to his care and needs. We will definitely be using them again. Highly recommend!!! Thank you so much Applewood Kennels! :)
We recently boarded our dog, Tank, at Applewood Farms & Kennels, for several days, and are extremely happy with our experience! We found the kennels to be very clean and loved that Tank had space connected to an outside run. Della was great to work with and answered all of our questions along the way. Tank even got extra love from her family during his time there which means a lot to our family (since he’s used to kids loving on him). We will definitely be taking him back to board there in the future. Thank you!!
Applewood is a fantastic kennel. The facility is clean and spacious. Della is very friendly and exceptionally kind to our dog. We're very happy to have found such a great kennel for when we need to board our pet. Highly recommended.
I heartily recommend Applewood! Clean, well maintained, attentive to our dog's needs. Della kept us updated with texts and photos of our Labrador "Gus" who had a blast during his stay. We will definitely leave Gus in their capable hands whenever the need arises.
We have used Applewood twice now. The facility is extremely clean. The staff is fantastic and friendly. Della went out of her way to us during a “Moving of homes” during Christmas week by keeping our babies. I would highly recommend to everyone.
Applewood Farm is now my pups favorite place to go while I am away!! Della is always extremely accommodating and goes above and beyond with the care of my fur babies to make sure they are comfortable. One of my dogs tends to be anxious in new places, but almost immediately warmed up to Della which solidified my love for her business. I can’t put into words how much I appreciate her taking great care of my pups.
I can’t recommend Applewood enough!! We have been taking our pugs there for a few months and we absolutely love it! Della and her entire family have been so welcoming to us and our pugs. It has been such a blessing to be able to drop them off while we are at work and know they are safe and happy.
Toured the kennel. It was spotlessly clean with no unpleasant odors. The staff was knowledgeable and pleasant. The animals seemed happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using this facility for our dogs in the New Year!
I hate to only give them four stars but we haven't yet used their boarding services, just had a partial grooming for our dog and he didn't cooperate. But it's a home based business and they're very friendly and very affordable. : )
