House Sitting in Amissville

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 20 years. I started when I lived in Centerville. Grew up around dogs and cats and horses. Will stay at the clients house with the animal. If the client prefers the comfort of their pet I am reliable, Love animals, have references I go to school full-time for nursing. Right now I go to one class a week in the evening and during the week I do home healthcare needed part time until full-time morning classes resume in July I stay in the home if I need to. I feed in one of the animals walked the animals we needed. I play with the animals. I cuddle with the animals and show love to the animals.

About: I've been a dog owner for 19 years, including multiple breeds and puppies. I have an extremely flexible schedule to ensure your pup gets the care and attention they need, all on 1 acre for them to enjoy. I work from home, so your dog will never be left alone for long periods of time. I live on one acre with plenty of space to run, roam, and sniff. I can tailor care in my home to your pup's needs, whether it's crate or baby gates to keep them safe. If I'm sitting in your home, I'll always follow your guidance and instructions.

About: I have dog sit for families and absolutely enjoyed every second of it! I love see how the time and care you give an animal can simply make their day! I currently work in the public school division, but will be free during the summer to care to the needs of any animal that I am given the opportunity to spend time with! Any pets safety and trust is important! I make sure to provide much love and care while also following the directions that the owners have left me to make sure the animal is happy!

“Natali was great! She watched our 2 dogs in our home for several nights while we were out of town. She provided daily updates and photos of your fur babies and responds promptly. She is also, do far, the only in-home sitter who respected our home. Highly recommend Natali!”

About: I grew up on a mini farm surrounded by animals — from lizards and hermit crabs to dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and needs, from anxious puppies and kittens to senior dogs with health or mobility challenges, as well as cats with special needs. Every pet in my care receives the same love and attention I would give my own. I’m available to provide flexible care around errands and appointments, giving your pets love, attention, playtime, companionship, and comfort throughout the day, tailored to each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines carefully to ensure comfort and familiarity. Pets are supervised at all times, with fresh water, treats, and attention. I maintain feeding schedules, potty breaks, and playtime, adapting to any special needs, mobility issues, or anxieties. Safety, consistency, and love are my priorities, so your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away. In my home, I introduce pets safely, separating them from my own during initial meetings. I provide a secure space for each pet and use mini fencing to ensure safety, even though my property is not fully fenced. I follow the same level of care and safety as I would in your home.

“Couldn’t be nicer. Thank you, Alexia!”

“Farrin is an angel and took amazing care of my little treasure! She is attentive, loving toward animals and kept me feeling secure knowing she was there while I was gone! I'll never need anyone else to take care of my buddy...thank you Farrin for being absolutely incredible! My buddy is very "complicated" with his care, so I really needed someone that understood the complexities of caring for a dog that has special attentive needs, especially at feeding time. Farrin excelled my expectations and left me feeling blessed knowing she was here. Thank you Farrin, you ROCK!”

About: Lifelong animal lover excited to meet your furry family member! My experience with dogs runs deep. I grew up surrounded by five Lab mixes and have spent summers fostering for the Pet Connect rescue. Also, in college I worked at a veterinary clinic, so I have experience working with many different breeds. Currently, I’m the proud "boy mom" to two amazing pups: a Toy Poodle and a Cockapoo. I work from home and I'm a graduate student (online), so your baby will be with me a majority of the time. I am so excited to meet your pup! I work remotely, and I am currently in graduate school (online). I spend a lot of time at home! I rarely leave my boys home alone more than a few hours at a time. They get a lot of potty breaks throughout the day. I have a fenced in backyard, it is also fully turfed. Very safe and secure. I am happy to crate your pet when left alone or at night for safety. I have a dog stroller if your pup is too old to go on longer walks, or gets tired easily, but still enjoys time outside.

“Caitlin was awesome to pick up our request when we were unexpectedly delayed - she knows our pets well and could jump right in. Thank you! Continues to be highly recommended!”

“Ronda was not only efficient and responsive, sharing twice-daily feedback about the care and feeding of our two kitties, but she was also able to establish an affectionate bond with them during our 16-day absence. We are pleased to give Ronda 5 stars and would highly recommend her.”

About: Hello, I have been taking care of a wide range of animals since I was 15. I’ve had 5 ferrets, guinea pigs, cats and dogs my whole life. I have a Staffordshire terrier, an American bully, and a black lab/ leopard catahoula mix. I am used to having a heavy dog on the opposite end of the leash and I am well experienced in animal body language to keep your baby and myself safe. I am currently looking for a full time job as a stay at home mom. Right now I am available during the day. The only times I will not be available is from 7:50- 8:10 am and 3:40-4:00 I will make sure any and all instructions are followed correctly to ensure adequate and safe service. Plus a few head rubs before I left.

About: I’m an animal lover and understand that pets are just sweet baby angels. I’ve raised dogs, trained and shown dogs and even whelped litters. I have diverse experience with dogs as well as other pets and am ready to open my small farm to them for a pet retreat! I’m currently working part time from home throughout the week and spend most of my spare time cuddling my own pups, playing outside or doing small chores. I have a very large fenced yard with lots of places to explore safely. I also have two bassets that can keep your pip company or teach them good manners :) I prefer crating at night but open to other options as it works for each dog.
