Lydia
Amicus, Virginia
Pets + travel + working remotely = amazing memories!
Alex and Lydia were great sitters! They sent pics of our girl Willow having a great time and left our house very tidy, and even did their own laundry. Super easy to communicate with and very understanding when we had a change in plans on our end. We’d love to have them back!
Melanie
Amicus, Virginia
Retired Montessori Teacher/Artist/Homeowner/Animal Advocate who loves to travel!
We were so fortunate that Melanie was available to stay with our 15-year-old cat, Little Bits for 12 days. Our sweet female calico has gotten older and a little more frail dealing with hyperthyroidism. My husband and I were concerned yet hopeful that we’d find the right person to look after her needs. Well, Melanie was a gem; we didn't have a single worry the entire time we were away. We were also very grateful that she was able to arrive the evening before we left so we could go over things in the house and get acquainted. We knew instantly Bits would be in excellent hands. Melanie was watchful and very attentive. Her communication was beyond exceptional and we loved getting updates with photos of our girl. It was obvious that Little Bits was very happy with her new friend. When we returned we found our home clean and in perfect order. Melanie did an amazing job!
David
Amicus, Virginia
Fun and friendly family of four!
David, Jenny and family were SO sweet and are amazing pet sitters! They sent us frequent updates and pictures of the animals, and our animals clearly loved them. From snuggling to hiking, they took great care of our pets. We live in the jungle in rural Puerto Rico and they dealt really well with the trials that can come with that :) Our dog and one of our cats don't always get along and they listened to all the nuances of their finicky relationship and I felt confident that they took it seriously and knew what to do to avoid a problem They left the house beautiful and left us the sweetest gift of framed pictures of each of our animals! Their son is a wonderful photographer. We will definitely be keeping in touch with these guys :) and can't recommend them enough!
Robin
Amicus, Virginia
Loving, Reliable, and Responsible! Have a Care-Less trip away!
Always a dream to have Robin come and sit for my cat Zoe! Great communication, daily updates and pics, and I can tell my kitty is a happy girl when I get home. (Plus, the house is always spotless!) Couldn't recommend more highly! Thanks, Robin!
Carrie
Amicus, Virginia
Reliable, experienced farmer will lovingly care for your home, plants and pets
Carolyn is so sweet and took such great care of my pets! She is such a kind soul and I loved having her.
Diana
Amicus, Virginia
Former Buddhist nun, lifelong animal lover and gardening enthusiast
Diana was absolutely amazing to work with and did a fantastic job with my dogs. She has a lot of dog experience and patience for working with my shy girl, that needed extra attention. She was so accommodating to our schedule and has great communication. The house was spotless when we returned. If you’re looking for a house sitter you can trust to treat your furry family and home like their own, I highly recommend Diana. I feel fortunate to have met her, and I would happily invite her back anytime.
Kathy
Amicus, Virginia
Petsitters Extraodinaire
We are so thankful to have met Kathy and Mike! They were amazing from start to finish. They had excellent communication throughout the whole process. The dogs loved them immediately. Kathy frequently sent pictures of the dogs. We are thankful our dogs got to share some love and joy. I have never come home to such happy, calm animals. We suspect Mike spent more time on the floor than in a chair. Kathy and Mike made me feel secure for this first sit with Zeewoi. We talked, texted and got pictures. They gladly came the night before so we could get an early start. They were easy to talk to, and genuinely kind. I wish we lived closer to these new friends. BONUS: We came home to a perfectly clean house!
Tony
Amicus, Virginia
I have experience with dogs (large and small), cats, horses, donkeys and goats.
Tony's cared for my animal for years and I trust him implicitedly. He's polite, respectful, active (Whiskey loves their field trips!) and treats our home and animals as if they were his own.
Mae
Amicus, Virginia
Actor & filmmaker. Lover of culture & experienced sitter of homes & animals
Mae and Ted were wonderful! They took great care of our pets and home and we had a lot of yard watering because we had newly planted trees and plants and no rain! We also had a situation where our hot water heater died literally the night before they arrived and they had to put up with that over a holiday weekend until it was repaired on Tuesday. They are professional, very self sufficient and left our home looking beautiful. I recommend them highly for any situation, we will certainly request them again if the need arises. Thanks Mae and Ted!
Bethany
Amicus, Virginia
Responsible, Experienced, and Reliable Professional Couple from Virginia
We are so pleased to have had Jason and Bethany in our home. They are truly animal lovers -- it showed in every communication we had with them. We think Paige and Loki were actually disappointed when we arrived home instead of them. LOL! They also took extra time to carefully manage Paige's food intake. We feed her carefully measured amounts (to maintain her weight) and schedule when she eats so she doesn't throw it all up. Jason and Bethany followed these requests and Paige was happy and healthy because of it. They have been homeowners themselves for years and kept an experienced eye on our home. They even spotted a minor leak from our dishwasher and we appreciate that level of care. We'd give them 6 stars if we could. We hope that Jason and Bethany return to sit for our kitties Paige and Loki. They are welcome anytime.
Reviews from Dog Owners
Laura
This was our first house/pet sit with @zeewoi and we were extremely pleased! Robert showed up when he said he would, he accommodated our timelines and our dog's scheduled routine. He left our home in excellent shape and we had a very happy, relaxed pup to come home to. It was important to us that Robert meet us via video chat or in person before we left and he went above and beyond. He sent photos of our dog, Cooper, and him throughout the sit and we could tell that Cooper was very happy with Robert. He responded immediately to our texts, giving him updates about our return. Communication is so important for making sure both the sitter and the house owners are confident in one another. Robert is very outgoing and friendly and we have 100% confidence in him to look after our home and our dog when we are away. We look forward to Robert providing another future home sit.
Mia
Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
Julia
Ryan was one of our best sitters we’ve had! Ryan is so lovely to chat with and we looked forward to meeting him before our trip. He was organized and communicated his plans clearly with us and was easy to communicate with while we were away. Our dog took to him immediately and so we knew we could relax while away. Our home was in great shape when we returned and it was nice to get a debrief from him as well. We’d love to have Ryan back anytime, and so would Steve (our dog)!
Jacqueline
If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Amanda
Liz was a fantastic sitter for our boys and took great care of our home. She was a great communicator and kept us informed of what was happening and how our dogs were doing. She also kept our home clean and tidy. We would be grateful to have Liz sit for us anytime!
Julianne
Emily and Chris were absolutely incredible house and pet sitters. They took care of our dog and two cats for 10 days and were some of the best sitters we've ever had. They took amazing care of all three animals -- giving medicine to our aging dog and managing to befriend our very shy cats on day one. We received adorable picture and video updates each day and it was clear that the pets loved spending time with them. Additionally they left the house in pristine shape and were incredibly diligent in all aspects -- bringing in packages, taking out the trash and recycling, etc. I can't recommend them highly enough!
Melanie
Cyndi was fabulous. I'd describe her as the no fuss no muss dog sitter. While some dog sitters need guidance on every little detail, Cyndi was completely self-sufficient. She left the home in perfect shape and totally adored my pup. I'd gladly welcome her back anytime!
Rebecca
Romina and Ignas took amazing care of our two dogs and home while we were away! One of our dogs, Beau, is extremely high energy and it takes a special person so make sure he gets enough mental and physical stimulation each day. Romina kept us in the loop of his trips to parks and outdoor excursions. She was very thoughtful and responsive during our time away. Additionally, our home was in pristine shape when we returned from our trip. The rooms were clean and tidy and Romina left us such a thoughtful note. Romina and Ignas are top notch sitters and I'd highly recommend them to anyone with pets! Thank you so much, Romina and Ignas. Our dogs were so well cared for and loved.
Sarah
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
Katherine
Angela was fantastic. She came a day early to meet us and our dog Bella and to get the lay of the land and we so enjoyed meeting her and getting to know her! She took care of our home and Bella with the utmost care and attention. She was great to communicate with throughout the sit and we felt confidant being away knowing our dog and home were in such good hands! We returned to a clean house and she even prepared dinner for us! It was clear that Bella was happy, well taken care of and very fond of her!! We would definitely recommend Angela. She was a reliable sitter and a delightful person all around!!

When they're here, they're family. Jennifer is an amazing caretaker for your furkids and they get the most loving care and attention. Our dog, in 10 whole years, has never made the excited chirping sounds like he does when we're getting close to the property. I sometimes wonder if he's annoyed I'm picking him up! Thank you, Buffalo River Boarding, for loving our pup as much as we do! He sure loves you!

Jubug loves getting his hair cut hear. She always does a great job and he love's her. He gets out car run in. This is a dog that don't let anyone around him. Thanks for taking great care of my Jubug...
A wonderful place to board my dogs. I've been using Dogwoods Pet Lodge for years. Brenda takes the best care of my fur babies. The runs are covered and the kennels are heated and cooled. My two yorkies got so sick this last trip we were on, and she went far and above taking care of them. She bought pedialyte, chicken, rice, and pumpkin to nurse them. She actually had to feed one of them with a syringe and didn't charge us. She excercises the animals and keeps a close watch on them. The kennels are next to her home which makes things so much better. It's also a wonderful place for dog grooming. They do a great job!!
Best and price great we taken both or dotson there for there nails
Brenda and her girls always do a wonderful job with my Noelle. I've known Brenda since she was a very small business, just operating out of a small building. Happy to have watched her business flourish over the years and becoming a full boarding kennel as well as the grooming business. Hands down THE BEST!
Very pleased. Rehianna was happy and told them goodbye. Brenda and the groomer very nice and seem to love and take good care of your pets!
These ladies were awesome. We needed our dog housed for a few days and they were just so friendly and kind. I recommend them to everyone.
I spent all day last Thursday (10/10/19) attempting to get a hold of this company to no avail. Their number rang and went to voicemail and there was no ability to leave a voicemail as the mailbox was full. I went online to their website and it hasn't been updated since February of 2013 and states that they do not accept credit card payments. I am glad they did not answer because if it is this difficult to get in touch with them I do not want my dog staying there.
Have always taken excellent care of our pets!!!! Grooming and boarding . Great place.
Great Job my Jubug is a new dog and he looks great. thx!!!!!
Brenda and her girls are amazing & reasonably priced! I would not take my dog anywhere else to be groomed.

Alexandra is a very caring and thoughtful person. I’m always a bit nervous the first time someone new stays with our terrier, Rudy, but she put my worries to rest the very first day by sending lots of pictures and staying in touch. I’ve already scheduled her next stay with us!
We have 2 rottweilers who can be intimidating to anyone. Our male can be "selective" in who he likes. He LOVES Alex. She is very much a dog handler/lover. Alex allowed our dogs to sniff her before she reached towards them. This is so important for an aggressive breed. My husband is a worrier about our dogs, just like the first time we left our children with a baby sitter. Alex provides photos, communication via text or phone calls, and addresses any concerns pet owners may have. I 100% recommend Alex to care for your pets while you are unavailable. Just don't let her get too busy whereby she is not available to watch our animals!
Alex has been a great resource for dog care. I have left my dog in her care several times and I always feel good about dropping my dog off with her. She has an adorable dog who loves to play with my dog. Alex is great about getting the dogs out for walks and hikes in nature. She really loves animals and it shows. I highly recommend her services!
Alex is the best! Our two dogs love her. Overnights, vacations , we never have a care or concern with our pups or the house. We recommend Alex with Skyline Petcare 100 percent!
Alex has taken care of our three cats twice now. We used to really stress about traveling and ensuring our cats were well taken care of, but Alex has helped us feel so much better about traveling. She's professional and responsive and sends us daily updates. Our cats have lots of needs (different feeding schedules, meds, lots of petting), and Alex has managed all of that seamlessly. They can also be wary of new people, so we were shocked to see how quickly our scarediest cat warmed right up to Alex. It feels great to leave them with her! I highly recommend Alex.
Alex is the best dog walker/pet sitter we have worked with... period. She truly cares for the well being of our two dogs and does everything possible to accommodate them. When we leave town for a long duration we have no worries that they will be very well taken care of. She regularly updates us regarding how they are doing. Every time our dogs go on a walk with her they are totally spent. We could not have asked for anything better.
We're overjoyed to have found Alex to look after our pets. Freedom to take off and go on overnights anywhere was seriously limited with our 3 year old Sheltie and two 4 year old Ragdoll cats. All three must have love, play, and care for most of the day to be happy. The idea of leaving them alone or in a kennel was not an option for us; our worry and guilt would have been overwhelming. Then we met Alex! She happily accommodated my need for her to get to know the 3 over time before we left for our 2 week vacation. She completely accepts my love for my pets and never makes me feel like i am a bit over the top! :) and she loves animals. All three were happy as could be when we returned after 2 weeks, the house was tidy and fur free and the boxes/potty areas all were clean and wonderfully kept up with. She had even brought a dog toy present for our Sheltie! It was over Christmas. Since that trip whenever I say "ALEX is coming" our dog runs to the front door wagging his tail and waiting impatiently. For a Sheltie this is a biggie! I've had her take care of them again on a weekend, and I even ask her to come by and play with our dog once in a while just to keep up their relationship. We like her that much! :) We can plan college visits to see our daughter and mini-holidays now whenever we want, all because we found Alex! A huge THANK YOU, Alex. We all appreciate you.
Alex is not only a impeccable person but when it comes to the well being of your Animals there is no one like her. I have top show horses that need Supreme care 247 and Alex went above and beyond what I had asked or needed her to do. I moved from C-Vill to buy a farm in TN. and I wish that Alex would move here to be apart of our Team, she would have a job for life. Skyline Pet Care is the #1 Service you need for your Animals!!!!
I always hate leaving my two cats, but knowing Alex is caring for them is a huge relief. She spends some time with them and I really appreciate the pictures she sends. It's so nice to receive visual reassurance each day that my cats are happy and being well cared for.
Alex goes above and beyond taking care of our two GSPs. Our babies are full of energy and she makes sure they get enough attention and activity!
