Pet Sitting in Addison

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 Stars – Above and Beyond! Christine was an absolute gem! Our dog Jadis had been struggling with motivation and didn’t want to get up or go outside for our regular sitter—but with Christine? Total 180. She got up, played, and was clearly happy and comfortable in her care. Christine was super attentive, sent tons of thoughtful updates, and even snapped adorable photos of our cats even though they weren’t part of the job! That extra care meant the world to us while we were away. Reliable, caring, and clearly an animal whisperer—Christine is the kind of sitter you hope to find on Rover. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind and happy pets while they’re gone!”

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals! I had plenty as a kid and was always helping family members with them. I take pride in training puppies and young dogs, even though I’m not a professional trainer, I know a few tricks! Pet care is what I do full time, I’m always available and I feel like they can use all the attention and loves when their parents aren’t home! I have a daughter who enjoys being with the fur babies as much as I do! I make sure I am easy going and trusting when approaching a pup that has never met me. They’re just like us! I am a very loving and nurturing person, I plan to be someone your fur babies look forward to seeing!

About: I have a current access card for the base. I have lots of experience with all breeds of dogs from a young age. I was involved in a local 4-H program starting in grade school, and am a current Berner mama. Puppies are also not a problem! I am currently staying home with my kids, and working remotely online, so my schedule is quite open. I am available consistently throughout the week. I prioritize your pet's safety and comfort by ensuring a secure environment, following all care instructions, and keeping a watchful eye during visits. Your pet's happiness and well-being come first.

“Abigail sent many photos, kept me updated, and followed all instructions. She was a great sitter for Luna and I will be booking her in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m MacKenzie, your pet’s new best friend and part-time squirrel scout. While I might not have a fancy pet-sitting degree, I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, and my own dog (a.k.a. my four-legged child) has taught me plenty—especially about basic training, reactivity, and the art of treating every leaf like it’s a masterpiece. I’m also a pro at giving meds and following care instructions to a T, so your pet’s routine won’t miss a beat. Plus, as an avid hiker, I’m more than happy to take active pups on day hikes for a little extra adventure! I get that every walk is a big deal, every squirrel is a personal nemesis, and if there’s a cat involved, they’re probably running the household. And yes, I’m here for my own steps too, because walking is my therapy! I'm currently in between full-time jobs, so I have ample flexibility for pet care throughout the week—perfect for midday walks, medication administration, or just dropping by to say “hello”! If your pet lives more than 30 minutes from Petersburg, they should be comfortable being home alone for up to 8 hours once I return to full-time work. For now, my schedule is wide open, especially on weekends! Routine is important to me, and it’s no doubt important to your pets! My primary goal is always to limit the amount of change, so feeding and potty break times will be strictly adhered to. If there’s valuable training you’ve worked hard to implement, it won’t go to waste! Don’t be shy about letting me know exactly which cues and commands to use, and any other little personality quirks I should know about.

“Emily was fantastic! We met prior to the assignment, so she could meet our cats, learn their habits, and where everything was stored. She was prompt in arriving to check on our cats, socialized with them, and followed our instructions on our cat that had dietary restrictions. She also took pictures at each visit! Well worth the extra money!”

“Jen—thank u for your great care of George while we were on our trip. Your playing with him, feeding him, and cleaning up behind him—we appreciate it all. We’d love to have u back next time we leave town!”

“Best experience! She was amazing, patient, and caring! I will definitely book again, and recommend her to my friends! My cats had never been clipped, and they were skittish, but she helped calm them, and get the job done. No issues, they act as if nothing happened! Wonderful experience!”

About: Growing up, I was constantly surrounded by different kinds of animals. At one point, my family had two ferrets, a rabbit, a dog, and three cats! I truly have been loving and caring for pets for as long as I can remember. I have extensive experience caring for several different breeds of dogs, including Pitties and a Doberman, as well as cats of all kinds. Currently, I am the proud mom of two of the sweetest kitties, Bean and Hippo. As a kitten, Bean dealt with a rare reaction to the sutures used during her spay. A month after adopting her, a wound appeared near her spay site. Vets repeatedly told us they had exhausted all options and could not do anything further to help close the wound; however, I was determined. After countless doctor's visits, medication, several weeks in a cone, AND almost a year wearing a special shirt for cats that I had found, she miraculously healed! I understand the weight of caring for another living being and am always ready to go the extra mile to ensure that the animals in my care are living the happiest and healthiest lives possible. I would love the opportunity to provide companionship and personalized care for your furry friend! I am my household's manager and create my own work schedule. Because of this, I am able to account for any pet bookings relatively quickly and with ease! I am generally flexible and willing to work with you in regard to scheduling. In my opinion, pet care is personal to the pet! Every pet has different emotional and physical needs. I am more than happy to provide walks, potty breaks, meal time, attention, and play time, as well as any other pet-specific needs that are discussed and agreed upon. Your pet's safety and health is absolutely my number one priority, and I am happy to provide regular updates and pictures during my time with them!

“Omg you are amazing we got back home and he was so happy he was so playful. You did a amazing job and we appreciate you so much. I will be calling you in the future for sure thank you for taking care of our boy”

“Jammie is awesome! Super communicative and sweet to my little man, Geo. She was punctual for every drop in visit, meal and potty break. She even stopped by prior to meet us and get to know his personality a bit before her visits. Definitely will be rebooking for my pup sitting needs :)”

“Monique and her husband were professional and flexible with my schedule. It is clear they took very good care of Arti and she looked forward to their visits! Would book again for sure”

About: I have groomed a dog before. I have bottle fed kittens in my vet program. I have been dealing with dogs and cats almost all my life. I do work during the week on some days, but I am very flexible with my schedule. I don’t work on weekends, so that is very available. At my home, I have two dogs and they are well cared for. They have a nice, big fenced back yard and they get play time a lot, so that they can stay active.

About: I have been around pets all my life but didn't have my own dog up until 3 years ago. It has been an amazing experience learning how smart and how much personality a dog can have. You can say that properly training my dog has been one of the most rewarding things I have done. Im currently studying on my own for a certification which makes my availability extremely flexible. I can meet most of my clients scheduling needs or we can discuss what works best! I recently just moved to Virginia and haven't brought over my Nala, but we own a home and have a great backyard with a fence where your pupper can enjoy themselves. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible with the care of your pet because i know how hard it can be being away from them. I can meet any of your pets activities needs as well administer any medication necessary. Im patient and understanding and my goal is gain yours and your pets trust. Thank you for your time and i cant wait to meet you all soon!

About: I have years of experience of taking care of pets. I know how to do basic care like feeding, bathing, trimming nails, walking, training, etc. I don't have a full time job right now so I am available all weekdays. I always go for walks so I think dogs will like that. I will play with them I have fence yard. We are near the park and I love walking everyday. I have 2 cats on my own that are very friendly and are used to other pets.

“Max is awesome! He did drop-in visits on my dog while I was on vacation for a week. He was 100% reliable and communicative. Max was very patient with my dog who suffers from separation anxiety. I would 100% recommend!”
