About: My love of dogs started about 5 years ago when I rescued my first dog. Since then, I have acquired a load of knowledge not only in how to care for them, but also how to train them. I can provide mental and physical stimulation for your furry friend and bring most of my own equipment - I can also use the tools your pet is most familiar with. I can assess your pet to determine what your pet may need for stimulation, make suggestions for daily care, and learn at least some of their body language. My dogs and I are always interacting whenever I'm home, but most of our intentional fun/training happens for about 2-3 hours each day outdoors. This includes both training and walking. I also help some of my friends train their dogs whenever our schedules allow. I believe your dog should ALWAYS be in training and you can make almost any situation a training opportunity. Your pets can be treated as my own and/or according to your specific instructions. Do you have multiple dogs that need to be separated? No problem. Can your dogs be together but need to be supervised so tension doesn't continue to build? I got you covered there too! Does your dog pull too much on walks, need to learn how to act in-doors? I can work with your dog on those things as well in addition to other things!

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.

“Shawn is very good and caring with dogs, particularly older dogs. My dog enjoys his walks withher very much.”

“Best dog walker that I have had so far!! 10/10. Highly recommend!”

Courtney S.

“Jenny was great to work with. Not only was she extremely responsive with communication but she also punctual. She was happy to have a meet and greet before our initial booking to ensure our dog was comfortable with her as he can sometimes be finicky with new people the first time or two. Will happily be booking her again for future dog walks.”

About: I'm person that does the work and listen to the animals too. I worked with military working dogs. Have raised my own, I even sucker for the abandon ones too. My life has been learning how to groom, including nails, medicines and how to feed certain dogs due to there digestive track. I can mend, cuddle and play with all type.but snakes sorry I can't do that. My soon to be husband also loves animals such as I do because they also help with mental health. Emotional support and therapy dogs are a real thing and they do help. Just like the little young lady that found last months wonder the roads of Amelia County covered fleas and ticks and no tags or nothing she now how's her forever home . Just ever day thing for more I come home ever 2 to 3 hours to let mine out. DUE to the current job I currently have once this jobs takes off my plan is.to do this full time for all animals. We have fenced in back yard with 3 acrea with it in the middle of the Amelia that has been forgotten about. I retired military and retired law enforcement looking to find something better that what I currently doing. Animals and kids make me happy and they would have a forever ever home with me. Plus my family loves animals too. If the our place did work out the have 100 to play on for the day too. My husband is sucker for all types of animals too.

About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was young and love to be around all animals! I used to nanny for a family with 5 kids and they had a wonderful dog that I always helped to care for! Feeding and taking him to the groomers and vet appointments…all things that I was lucky to get to help with! I also used to care for 2 cats (both needing to take medication) and a bull dog on a daily basis! I have a Jack Russell (that just passed away) myself that I had for about 10+ years and no kids do she was my only fur baby! I have recently in the past year gotten a brand new puppy named Sugar! She is a beagle/terrier/lab mix and 25 pounds of Adorableness! She is so sweet And absolutely my little girl, as she follows me everywhere and tries to be wherever I am, and always under foot!!! She’s a little skittish and still all puppy at eight months! So I am no stranger to puppy needs at all! I also have Bella, who is a pit/beagle mix and she is a little over a year and a half old! She is 60 pounds of crazy but happy and smart and always at my husband side! What a love bug! But remember, with pets, there is no personal space! Lol I love pets of all kinds and will care for them as if they were my own! Snuggles are free!!! I am currently a part-time private nanny, to a bunch of different families who may need care for their little ones day a week, and my schedule is always changing from week to week! This is a little niche that I found that nobody was able to fill, and I wanted to dedicate my career to helping those families who only need four hours a day one day a week and that doesn’t necessarily need to be the same day. As my schedules always changing, my availability will always be changing so I will try to keep that up-to-date as I hope more of you reach out! I’m really looking forward to all the snuggles! I am always very mindful of the time for feedings and walks…any medication will be given correctly and timely…I will make sure your home is locked up after I leave from a walk and/or feeding! Please know that I will do my best to. Gain the trust of the animal! Cats too!

About: I've had dogs since I can remember. My fiancé watched dogs in the past with rover and I would always help. Take the dogs to the park on my days off, play outside, and train them when needed. I am currently on veterans disability so I can focus my whole day to your furry friend. No worry about being stuck in all day. I have 5 acres of yard for them to play on. I have lots of space if needed, room for crates, room outside. Plenty of space so your furry friend won't feel trapped. My animals mind their own.

“Sophia was wonderful. I was in town for a week for work and needed someone to walk my dog during the days. She met us at the hotel the evening that we checked in to give my pup a chance to get used to her. She came each day, was very responsive, took great care of the dog, and sent plenty of updates about each walk.”

Barbara C.

“Kelly was on time and took great care of our dog. We will definitely ask Kelly to help us again!”

Mary M.

“Max is wonderful! My energetic pup loved him , and he was needed after I had foot surgery and couldn’t walk the dog. I was home when Max came and went with my pup; he let me know each day when he was on his way, which was helpful. He was on time and reliable. I would definitely hire Max again. Thank you!”

About: My love for animals (Especially dogs) started at a very young age and only progressed as I got older. I grew up learning how to care for many different animals including chickens, Bunnies, Dogs & Cats. Since living on my own I’ve cared for many dogs from Chihuahua’s to Pit bull’s to Great Danes. I have 2 sweet fur babies of my own; Chanel is a Bully-Pitbull mix who is 2 years old. And Vera who is a Petite golden doodle who has just turned 1. Both of my dogs are very sweet & have the best personalities to make your dog feel safe & at home. I’ve also taken care of dogs with dog/people Aggression so I am no stranger to handling serious situations. My sister is a Vet-Tech and has taught me many important things when it comes to taking care of pets including medically. I can’t wait to meet your babies & love them as much as my own!! I only accept dog care when I’m a able to be home with them! If any other circumstances were to arise I would discuss with you before booking to make sure you’re ok with the care your dog will receive! I will always treat animals with love & patience. Dogs will be kept inside of the home unless being taken out for a potty break or play time. All Dogs are allowed on furniture in my house unless Owner Request Otherwise. I also own a Very LARGE crate & a small one for dogs who’s owners prefer them to be kenneled or kennel trained.

About: I am a dog lover, I have been taking care of dogs of many kinds for the past 5 years. I will be very loving and caring towards your dogs. I will play with your dog and do whatever instructions needed. I am currently studying abroad in Florence Italy and won’t be able to dog sit until June 9th. I am looking for something that is regular but can also do drop in visits. I will put your dog on a leash when going on walks and can crate your dog if needed. I will keep an eye on your pet at all times.

About: I provide personalized, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s calming companionship for anxious pets, playtime for energetic puppies, or gentle care for seniors, I ensure every pet feels safe and loved. My experience with medication administration, basic training, and maintaining routines sets me apart. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving you peace of mind while you're away. As a college pre-med student with a passion for pets, I balance my studies with caring for animals, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. My medical background gives me an extra edge when it comes to understanding health needs, administering medications, and ensuring pets stay happy and healthy. I prioritize each pet’s well-being while managing my busy academic schedule, offering owners peace of mind that their pets are in capable, loving hands. When caring for pets in my or client's home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment tailored to each pet's specific needs. If they stay in my home, I create a cozy space with plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. I maintain routines, whether it's feeding schedules, medications, or nap times, to minimize stress. For in-home visits, I focus on maintaining the pet’s usual environment and routine, providing personalized care such as feeding, play, and cuddles, while also ensuring their space is clean and secure. My approach is always flexible, offering a combination of love, safety, and reliability.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to connect with animals of all kinds — and truly care for each one like they’re my own. Whether it’s a high-energy dog, a cuddly cat, a curious bunny, or a shy senior pet, I meet them where they are and tailor my care to their needs. I have hands-on experience with: • Dogs of all ages, from puppies learning routines to seniors needing gentle walks and meds • Cats, including playtime, litter box care, and giving them space or snuggles based on their vibe • Small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs, with attention to diet, enclosure cleaning, and enrichment • A calm, observant approach for anxious or nervous pets • Consistent routines, affection, and enrichment that help animals feel safe and loved I’m also big on communication — you’ll get regular updates, cute photos, and real-time peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I build my schedule around making sure animals get the time, attention, and consistency they deserve — whether that’s morning walks, midday play breaks, or evening check-ins and cuddles. Because I work a flexible job, I’m able to prioritize pet care throughout the week. That means I’m available for everything from quick potty breaks to overnight stays — and I never rush. I treat every visit like quality time, not just a task to check off. Animals thrive with routine, and so do I — so you can trust that your pet will get reliable, loving care day in and day out. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on three things: comfort, consistency, and clear communication. I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine — feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and downtime — so they feel safe and at ease while you’re away. Here’s what you can expect from me: • Respectful presence — I treat your home with the same care I’d want for my own • Routine-focused care — I stick to your pet’s daily habits as closely as possible • Cleanliness — I clean up after pets, tidy feeding areas, and make sure everything is left as I found it (or better!) • Plenty of love and attention — Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or space, I adjust to what makes them happiest • Updates for peace of mind — I send regular texts, photos, and any little updates to keep you in the loop Whether it’s daily drop-ins or overnight stays, my goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and your home feel cared for.

I am currently attending school full-time from Monday-Thursday, 9am-1pm. I do pick up my children from day care around 3:30pm as well. Other than that I am home all day Friday through Sunday. I can assist with mid day dog walks Monday through Thursday. On the weekends I am available for in home check-ins, walking, feeding, and also over night stays in my home.
