Cindy
Providing Pet Sitting in the Alanthus, Virginia
40+ Five-Star pet sits; Columbia University faculty (teaching remotely)
It was a pleasure to have Cindy care for my cat Stella while I was away on an unexpected last-minute trip. Cindy sent frequent updates and photos, which provided a great comfort to me since I had only been home from a long trip 3 days before suddenly having to leave again. Stella seemed quite comfortable with Cindy's company! I returned home to a relaxed kitty and tidy apartment. Thank you, Cindy!
Elena
Providing Pet Sitting in the 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!

Hi! I am Olivia, and my partner's name is Belrie. We look forward to meeting you
I am so fortunate because I had to cancel this sit at the last moment and Olivia and Belrie were extremely understanding. All our communications leading up to the sit were phenomenal, and I can't wait to have them stay with Pearl soon.
Todd
Providing Pet Sitting in the Alanthus, Virginia
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.
Terry
Providing Pet Sitting in the 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!
Judy
Providing Pet Sitting in the Alanthus, Virginia
Experienced pet and housesitter, trustworthy, conscientious and caring
Judy is clearly a pro at being a housesitter. She was super communicative and sent us frequent pictures. She kept our home tidy and took great care of Lola. In fact, on a last-minute notice, she was even able to stay an extra night due to a disruption in our travel plans. Five stars all around. 
Erin

Loving, professional, communicative pet sitters.
Erin took great care of Daisy. I received several videos and pictures of Daisy over the stay!
Maeve
Providing Pet Sitting in the 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
Providing Pet Sitting in the 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
Providing Pet Sitting in the 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 Dog Owners
Lainie
Brian is absolutely amazing. This was his third time sitting for us and the dogs love him, he left the house immaculate, and is totally reliable and communicative. We can’t imagine a better sitter and hope he’ll come visit and stay in touch now that he has moved to the area.
Alexis
We had the pleasure of having Maggie (for the second time) to take care of our home and beloved dog Frida while we were away for 2 weeks. We couldn’t be happier! Neither could Frida! Our big dog is sometimes a bit stubborn and Maggie managed amazingly. We had daily photos and video, and Frida was clearly very happy, comfortable and very well looked after. We highly recommend Maggie to anyone in need of trustworthy and dedicated house sitter and animal lover
Suzie
Evan and Maria were fabulous. They are experienced sitters and it shows in their independence. They sent regular updates, but not too regular and were totally self sufficient. Most importantly both the house and dog were perfect when we returned home.
Leslie
I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.
Koni
Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter. She went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love. And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also. I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter. She is a very sweet lady. I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.
Courtney
Amara was a WONDERFUL sitter for our home and our dogs for the weekend. We were so comfortable with her being in our home, and she provided regular updates and photos of our babies. The house was clean upon arrival home - we would have no hesitation recommending her to others and hope she would consider coming back to spend more time with our dogs!
Linda
They took very good care of my pets which involved feeding cats twice daily, fish once or twice a day and filling up fountain for birds. Animals were healthy and happy when I returned. Nothing was lost or broken, and Diane even found a lost grinder part that had fallen into the cats food while I was using it. They are a pleasant couple. They were invited from Wednesday to Sunday. They arrived on Monday so had 3 days instead of one to learn the pets routine. They also informed me that they wouldn't be leaving until Monday morning, but that worked out well since I was mistaken about the end date of my cruise and couldn't get home until Monday. Everything was left neat, but I had minor housekeeping to do (clean sink, fingerprints off glass table, sweep floor). They are older than stated on the profile, which they said only allows 65 as a top age. 68 and 73. Bruce has health problems that requires he sleeps sitting up in a chair that has a leg lift, which luckily I had, so he slept in my living room. They are fine caring for cats, but my friend with a dog decided to find another sitter rather than leave him with them (she was going to pay) because they seem somewhat frail.

Joanna and David were absolutely perfect!!!! This was my first actual time using a sitter and they went above and beyond what I expected. I have a 1 year old Bully Breed that I adopted 6 weeks ago, so if you know dogs you know what they had to deal with :)) They sent pics daily and kept me updated. We were not able to meet before I left but they were nice enough to stay to meet me when I returned. My house was cleaner than when I left, all bedding and towels washed. Charley, my dog, was happy to see me for a minute when I got home but immediately went back to play with David, so I am thinking she had a blast while I was gone. I am totally sold with this process after having Joanna and David here. If you have the chance to book them for your trip, you will not be sorry. I am hoping to use them again when they return to Florida.
Jackie
Tom and Diana were perfect house sitters and guests. Great company, our dog immediately made herself at home with Tom. Animals loved and cleaned. House spotless, great communication and even left a thank you card and gift when they left. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.
Kathleen
Lisa was a terrific sitter for our sweet Rosie. She arrived the evening before the sit, and we immediately could tell how much love and attention Rosie was to get. She provided updates and pictures which we were delighted to read, and we could tell Rosie was happy and well-cared for with Lisa on their walks and fetching sessions, on their car rides, and during Rosie’s many daily naps. Lisa left the house in great condition, she’s very tidy and clean. Lisa’s experience with dogs and her friendly, sweet personality makes her an excellent sitter taking good care of animals while also being easy to communicate with. I would recommend her and would gladly invite her back.

Animlz Dog Walking & Pet Sitting
Recent Reviews:
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. : )
