Dog Sitters in Hartwood, VA

Barbara is an experienced zeewoi who looked after our Labrador and our house very well. Good listener, thoughtful, and very comfortable with an athletic but chill dog. Would recommend.

Marjan and Harm were wonderful! We had easy and comfortable communication before we left and their experience was evident in their confident manner. They arrived ahead of our departure with enough time to walk around our home and understand it. While we were away, they shared updates and photos on our furry friends which reassured all of us, especially our four children. We returned to find our home spotless and well cared for. We were grateful for that after 3 weeks and grateful for the cut lawn and repairs that Harm did to some outstanding issues in our house (we did not ask). We would highly and unreservedly recommend them as sitters for your home and pets! Thank you both!!

Cara was a lovely pet sitter for Roxy. The house was very clean and tidy when we returned and Roxy was relaxed. Cara committed only a couple days before we left and it was a seamless sit. Recommend!

This was the second time that Deena & Ivan have stayed at our house for an extended length of time (3 months this time). They took excellent care of our home, our cats and our plants & yard. I would have them back anytime. They have become good friends.

Jen is a regular for us and is always a pleasure to coordinate with and host. Our dogs are always happy, our house is always clean, and we never have any worries. We recently moved and Jen was super flexible with her time and introduction to our new space. Thanks so much, Jen! We all appreciate you!

This is the second time we asked Andra and Cam to sit for us. Andra and Cam are the absolute BEST people to take care of your pets. We have two dogs and they are both quite different. Andra and Cam took the time to understand the needs of each of the dogs. One of our dogs is a rescue and he is very sensitive and anxious. Andra and Cam showed so much patience, understanding and care, and in a record time, our little anxious dog completely relaxed and opened up to them! Andra and Cam are beautiful, reliable, thoughtful people who took exceptional care of our dogs and also of our home. They left the flat cleaner than it has ever been. They had the everything taken care of by the time we came home. Andra even baked a beautiful cheese cake for us and let us lovely gifts too, which was absolutely incredible of her. You will be so lucky to have Andra and Cam take care of your pets and home. They are a treasure and we are so grateful to them.

Mel & Cloud are Perfect Housesitters. They weren’t phased that my Papillons had grown in number and this time they ended up caring for 5 adult dogs and 3 puppies !! The dogs and I look forward to seeing them again and hope they return to the UK soon 😊

Maria was great! Very communicative and had a took the time to FaceTime before her visit to make sure she knew how to care for our home and dogs well.

Thawn, Mae (&Pitchey) were absolutely delightful. When I was leaving for my trip, they helped me collapse my dog stroller & Thawn started my motorcycle (as I was concerned about the battery). Absolutely so kind, helpful- even left me a couple of small gifts!! They were way, way above expectations! I was soooo lucky to have them!!

Would highly recommend Jan to anyone. It’s clear that she truly loves pets and is very responsible. We felt very comfortable with Jan taking care of things while we were away. We came home to a clean house and a happy pup. She watered our plants during the heatwave and the garden was in great shape too!

I felt at ease leaving my fur kids with Emerson. I hope to have her back!

Neissah is excellent! We love it when she looks after our little Bride and our home.

Laralyn and her husband, Chief were lovely. Nash was spoiled. I enjoyed the pictures and I came back to a tidy house. I'd highly recommend her!

Samson and I were so happy with Riz’ caretaking of both Sam and the house. He kept in good communication with me before and during the sit. It was clear, in the photos he shared, that Sam was very quickly comfortable with him. Riz was very in-tune with Samson and reached out to neighbors for pup play dates when Sam was being sad. Our neighbors were very impressed with how intent Riz was to take good care of Samson. I arrived home to a happy pup and a clean home. We hope Riz can sit again in the future.

Christine and Pierson took great care of our pets and home. We came home to a clean and tidy house, they were very respectful of our space. They were easy to communicate with, and kept us updated on how the dogs were doing. The only thing that wasn’t a positive was several of my potted plants outside were dead when I returned home from not being watered. I will make sure and provide more clear instructions next time.

From the outset I was very confident that Mary & Ian were ideal sitters to cope with the nuances of my furry family of 3 ! As . We had chatted several times on Whatssap, and both had had cats as pets over many years, and a wealth of life experience living with cats!! As soon as they arrived Mary & Ian set about familiarising themselves with the apartment layout and then observing the foibles of Mau, Kitty& Toots., including the litter tray routine ( lol)….Marrying my outline Guide to the “real deal”, and I believe they, like my cats themselves , were not at all daunted at the prospect of being surrogate trusted “fur parents” for a week . All 3 furs vied for attention, and Kitty, although quite nervy,, took to sitting on Mary’s lap at every available opportunity …with Mau & Toots competing for attention… and their daily groomings too!!!, when they returned from their daily sojourn , exploring the area., they had the energy to care for and be entertained by the furs! Mary’s excellent forward planning ensured that they gave time to the furs on a morning before setting off…and again on an evening , Ensuring that the cats’ routine, especially feeding times ,was not disrupted and as all parties enjoyed waking fairly early?.? (lol) Mary & Ian had time to explore and enjoy visiting several highly recommended tourist attractions, they had researched. Ian was a gem and offered to sort out finishing laying down approx 400 kilos of Wood chip and off cuts based “soil” along the side of my drive, AND remove Garden garbage to the recycle area , down the road. So the outside was very tidy & orderly, on my return . Mary watered my pot plants on the calçada , AND Enjoyed fresh lemons & picking physalis berries( Chinese gooseberries) . All my flowering plants , young tomatoes , beetroot n onions were thriving on my return. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Kitty , Mau & Toots, my garden and my home. Everywhere was clean and tidy and in good order when I returned. The cats simply adored Mary , and the regular photo updates sent to me by Mary endorsed the fact that I had not been missed!! It was truly lovely to have you stay and look after M,K,T and get to know you a little. The “5 Star” rating for every aspect of their stay reflects Mary & Ian’s commitment to be genuine “zeewoi”, and importantly ensure that Mau, Kitty & Toots…. Were safe and cared for , during my absence…….. they simply Never missed me!! We all really enjoyed your company …Thank you sooooo very much. If you are ever blown off course in your world wide adventures and land in Portugal again….please look us up!,,,…you’ll always be Welcome.

Naheeda and Saranya were absolutely perfect sitters for us. They left the house clean and tidy and gave us regular updates on our cat Juno. Not only that, they also cooked us an absolutely delicious meal for us to enjoy when we returned home late - thanks! We did have an issue with the front door locks but that was absolutely nothing to do with these guys and they were incredibly patient whilst we arranged a locksmith to come out and resolve it - just wanted to say thanks again for being so nice about it! I absolutely would not hesitate to host Naheeda and Saranya again. Communication was excellent, house was left very tidy and they were both incredibly friendly and polite.

Tatianna and her family looked after our pets for our Christmas and New Years break. From the begining, Tatianna was easy to communicate and flexible. They whole family is very caring and even our rather shy cat got very affectionate and loved their company . We would love to have them again in the future, looking after our loved ones!

Candace took good care of our dog and house. Was responsive and ensured we knew how he was doing.

Anne and Ryan are golden sitters! They have the perfect mindset to housesit From the beginning, communication was fluid. We exchanged about their arrival, and everything went exactly as planned. During the stay, we had regular exchanges, news and photos. They are both very resourceful and were able to resolve small incidents without any problem. One of our animals was sick, and they did everything they could to treat her! Better than a vet, they watched over her and gave her all the care she could receive. It was incredible to know that they were at her bedside. When we returned, the house was clean and tidy, dinner was done. Ryan had maintained the garden, all our animals were serene and in great shape. We had the chance to spend some time with them before their next sit, and we had a great time. They are curious, open, positive and they form the cutest couple. I couldn't be more grateful to have had you home 🤩
