About: Hello! I would love to help. I had dogs my whole life and now have a Shepsky named Mocha who I love very much. I also volunteered at a cat rescue and have two cats of my own. I’m experienced around all ages as well! I have a Ball python and a leopard gecko too! So I don’t mind helping out with reptiles. I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I am available for daily walks or pet sitting. Morning, nights, and weekends! I can help with their daily routine, play, and walk to get their energy out. provide as much pet care as I can, and monitor them while I’m there.
“Katie is incredible! She's wonderful with our two pups (one with special needs), kept me informed throughout the day while being respectful of my meeting schedule, administered medicine, and was a joy to have in the house. She gave us such peace of mind, and we're already looking for more dates to use her. Such a gem!”
“Leah is fantastic! We all know a “dog Mom” that doesn’t want to leave home because of her BABY!! (That’s me??♀️) Leah is patient and attentive, she went above and beyond for us on an extended stay. My dog, my home and my sanity were all in check with Leah. I can’t thank you enough, we will be booking again!”
“Alex saved the day and the dogs were happy when we got home. She was great about communication and sent picks while we were gone. So nice to nt have to worry. Thanks see you soon.”
“Kat was exceptional with our dog Wrigley while we were on vacation abroad. She treated him as if he were her own pet, providing the utmost care and attention. Communication was smooth and efficient throughout our time away. We wholeheartedly recommend Kat to anyone in need of a reliable house or pet sitter!”
“Kimberly was fantastic with our 2 fur babies. She stayed at our rental during the day on our two day stay while we were out on the motorcycle. Our dogs absolutely loved her and so did we. She even brought our pups organic dog treats and she left us a thank you card for us. She is a true professional. We will absolutely use Kimberly again when we come back to Colonial Beach.”
“Sure! Here's a concise and casual review: Virginia is an amazing dog sitter! She stayed at our house for a week and took such great care of our two dogs. It was clear they were happy and well-loved while we were away. She kept everything in order and left the house spotless. We’d definitely trust her again—highly recommend!”
About: I have always loved dogs and had my own, but I started caring for other people’s dogs at around 13 years old. In early 2022, I started working at the doggy daycare/boarding facility I currently work at, and I am now a manager there. I am responsible for feeding, bathing, administering medication, playing with and cleaning up after dogs of all different breeds, temperaments, ages and sizes, and I couldn’t be more passionate about my job. I currently work full time (at a dog kennel), and my schedule is consistent but switches days every week. I know my schedule very far out in advance so it should be easy to work with! I have 2 dogs at home that are well trained but not very friendly with other dogs, so at home boarding does not work for me. However, at your home, I can work with whatever system you have going for your dogs already, whether that be a crate training system or something different. I have plenty of experience from my current job and can meet all the needs you and your furry friend need to be satisfied:)
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, backyard chickens, turkeys, and goats, and I'm ready to take care of any and all other animals and reptiles you might have; plus, if you want plants watered, I do that, too! I have three giant dogs at home, a cat pulled in from the wild, my own chicken flock, and a turtle (not to mention the feral cats we feed), so I'm used to big personalities and a lot of work each day. I do have a part-time job, but that's only on Mon/Wed, and I leave for long lunches to take care of animals, check outdoor waters, give a little exercise, etc. I try not to crate unless the owner has requested it and then only if I'm at work; I don't mind animals on furniture or the bed with me, but I always ask the owners in case the pets are trying to be sneaky when they're not allowed! I make sure the food and water bowls stay clean (please let me know if there's a specific sponge you use for pet bowls!) and I make sure to play with the animals at least twice a day until they start to get tired. For outside animals, I keep a watch on their water and food and clean their coops/runs/etc., and in hot seasons I like to mist them with cool water from a hose, just in case.
About: I have been dog sitting on weekends for my sister and brother in law for almost a year, she is a 10 month old bernedoodle with lots of energy! I also love caring for senior dogs. I have cat sit for 2 of my neighbors’ multiple cats, and have 2 pups of my own - Romeo and Bambi - both toy poodles aged 4 and 6 years old. I helped train both of them when they were puppies, and they are very well-behaved and loved! I currently work part-time on weekdays in the afternoon, so besides that I would have plenty of time to care for your furry friends - either overnight or for just a few hours! I am free before 5 pm Monday - Friday and after 9 pm, and I am available all day Saturday. I am usually busy Sundays, but can sometimes find time for it if you need full weekend care, so don’t hesitate to ask! I am very thorough and flexible with following any specific instructions you might have for caring for pets in your home. I have experience with crated dogs and free roam pets, so anything you need, I can do!
About: I’ve taken care a pets ever since I was little. Neighbors, friends, family all trusted me taking care of their babies. Whether they just needed a walk or being fed, I always made sure they were happy. I am currently working part-time, giving me a lot of free time as of lately. I have pets of my own so I understand how important it is to take care of them. I make sure all animals are fed and in a clean environment. Depending on the pets needs, I do what is best for them. Whether that is playing in fenced in areas, taking a walk on a leash, or if they just need fed, that is what they will get.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 11. I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs! I took animal science in high school for two years which included dog grooming two days out of the week and also learning about all animals in general. I worked at Hayfield Animal Hospital as a Kennel Assistant when I was in high school as well. This required walking and feeding dogs on a day to day basis. Through my junior year of high school through college, I was a summer camp counselor for a Horse riding stables. This included taking care of 30+ horses every morning and night during the week. I have been riding horses for 20 years now and have an equine minor. I have lots of experience with dogs and cats! I currently have two dogs of my own that I love very much. I have grown up with cats and until recently have always had one or two in my life. I currently work full-time from home. I work from 8 to 5 but can sit before then, during lunch, or after work. I also have time on the weekends to sit as well. I have two dogs of my own at home, so I cannot do in-home sitting currently. I will take great care of your pups/cats at your own home and follow any instructions given!
About: I have taken care of pets since age 10. Best part of my day is talking a walk or snuggling with a fur baby,one or yours! I just retired and am ready to do what I love most, devote my time and care to animals, whether that is walking, sitting, playing. I am attentive to the needs of the pet. If they need exercise, to be on leash, or elder and need in stroller. Safety is important
“Many thanks to Vanessa for taking such good care of my pup. Vanessa updated me on my pup throughout the trip. My dog is very high energy, and clingy.... she handled her with ease!!”
