About: I have taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes for as long as I can remember. I have a large black lab of my own so I’m used to handling big dogs. I have watched dogs of all breeds from great Danes to mini toy poodles. I’m a grad student looking for a way to make a little extra money by taking great care of some pups. I’m currently in graduate school but have large gaps between classes where I can take your pup on brief walks, feed, and play with them throughout the day! In the mornings or afternoon once my classes are over I can take the dogs on longer walks and spend a little bit more time with them! At this time I do not provide care in my home but I’m willing to drop by at any hour to help keep your pup company! I am a lover of all animals! At school I’m missing my dog so I would love your fur baby as my own!

About: I provide a loving, reliable and stress-free environment for pets of all sizes, with years of hands on experience! I’m flexible, friendly and ready to meet all of your animals! I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday from 9AM to 5PM, but I love spending my free time caring for animals! I offer pet care before and after work, on weekends, and I’m happy to provide lunch-time drop-in visits for pets in the Waynesboro area. Dogs, cats, reptiles, and other small pets are all welcome!! 🐦🦎🐶🐱 I’d love the opportunity to help care for your furry, feathered, or scaly family members🖤🙌🏻 I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, even when their family is away! I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can provide care that’s as familiar as possible😊 I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, enrichment, fresh food/water, and any medications or special care they may need. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry, feathered, or scaly family member is in caring hands🥰🐾

About: First of all, my name is Toni. Rover will only accept legally changed names, and I haven’t gotten there yet. But I’m Toni M. and I started getting involved with pet care because of my mental illness and autism. The stress of life was lowering my ability to function and every job I tried seemed to make it all worse. Enter: Dogs. I decided if I was going to make it I needed to be doing something that gave instead of took from me. Animals have helped bring me back to life in the dark. I’ve worked with puppies and older dogs. I’ve spent significant time with dogs with anxiety issues as well. I tend to connect with dogs who need a little extra love the most anyway. I do have a job but I’m available for boarding if pet is crate trained. When a pet stays with me we have a routine. Coffee (for me), breakfast, walk. And in the evenings we eat, play, have downtime. I guarantee an hour of exercise a day for your pet as well. My yard is fenced so no chance of escape. I like to play outside with the animals twice a day. Water bowel is always filled and animals are always welcome on my furniture. They’re free to make themselves at home.

About: I have had animals my whole life! I’m always happy to help friends and family. Life is better with fur babies! Happy to help. I am not working so I am available anytime. I can do drop ins, in home care or at my home. I have two miniature dachshunds that love to play and a beautiful neighborhood for walks. We have gates on our stairs to keep our dogs on one level. I have a crate if needed in my home to keep your dog safe.

About: My approach matches the energy of the animal and meets them on a level they’re ready for! I have spent my whole life taking care of cats, and they have taught me how to respect an animal’s boundaries with patience and compassion. I have petsat for several years now! It is a delight to learn and love every furred friend I have the privilege of taking care of. Safety and trust with your animal is my primary focus. Currently, my schedule is very open, especially during the weekdays! I have a notebook I use to keep track of my schedule and special notes. To take care of anyone animal, I listen to what they tell me, and adjust my behavior based on theirs. I focus on safety, patience, and trust in building a relationship, and I’m happy to start that at whatever distance or level they want to.

“Sarah was super communicative and punctual. She was great with Azula. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve had experience with many types of animals since I could remember, which could be around 13-14 years. Our family is very animal oriented and it has been for a few generations. My great grandma raised, trained, and did dog shows with many different types of dogs. My grandma has always had animals as well as my mom. This ranges between birds, bunnies/rabbits, snakes, lizards/bearded dragons, birds, dogs, and cats. We almost like them more than people :) Pet care fits into my daily routine including every other weekend for my California king snake and bugs every other day with daily greens/fruits for the bearded dragon. 3 meals a day for the dogs, clean water for all animals, and the cats free feed expect some wet food. I can care for your pets in different ways including, of course, breakfast lunch or dinner, potty time outside on leash or back/front yard, and attention. I can also offer baths, and medication to certain animals if needed.

“Nicole is a wonderful walker and my dog loves her! I highly recommend her!”

About: My dog-sitting history is primarily dogs with a variety of health issues and idiosyncrasies. Does your dog have special needs or odd habits? I've got it covered! Normies welcome too. ;) I work full time during the week, so I'm available weekends if you need me during the day or I can lend my services on weekdays evenings/mornings depending on proximity. I'm religious about monitoring doors and making sure everyone is appropriately harnessed/leashed. I have experience administering topical and oral medications and can maintain time-sensitive care schedules.

About: Hi! My name is Micah and I would love to take care of your dog or dogs! I have three rescues of my own and they are the sweetest, most adventurous dogs! My mom has always had dogs, so I’ve been helping take care of our pets from a very early age! I love taking our dogs on hikes, car rides, and walks. We are an active family! I work part time during the weekdays, but I’m always home 5 out of the 7 days! I have mostly open availability on the weekends so go enjoy a mini vacay :) I’ve worked for a rescue and also a pet supplies store. I would love to hear from you and I can’t wait to discuss what you need to feel at ease while you’re away from home! I’m currently working part time and am home 5 out of the 7 days with my children. I can easily come over and take care of your dogs when my schedule is open. I have a fenced in yard and monitor when our dogs are outside. I love playing with your dogs and ensuring they’re getting their energy out. I love all animals and I would do anything that would make them feel the most safe/loved.

About: I've grown up with animals my entire life beginning with Mr. Blue the Himalayan Cat and Kahlua the Black Lab and all of the animals I've loved, worked with, and now become mama to in my adult life. I feel most at ease when I am around animals and consider it an honor to have the opportunity to love them as my own. Regardless of whether it’s a quick drop in or a longer stint. I can most often be found at home. Between kids, fur babies (both mine and others’) I stay pretty busy. I have a Golden Retriever who just turned 7 (though you’d never know he wasn’t still a pup) to play with and keep your baby company. There's space in my home to separate if anyone needs a break and I can easily crate if needed or desired. *Crating is for safety and comfort only, I do not use crating as a means of discipline. I work from home so there is plenty of room in my schedule for playtime, walks, pet-friendly outings, cuddles, feeds and/or any other specialized care your friend might require. I have an unfenced yard so any outside play will be leashed or in an enclosure. For additional safety, I keep a few dog crates on hand. They are available for pups that are crate trained, in case I need to separate, or even personal preference! Dogs are den animals so when used correctly, some of them (like ours!) love having a cozy space to relax. *Please note, I never use crates as “punishment” in our home, nor do I believe in or practice discipline of animals. I care for and love every animal the way I’d want my sweet boy loved and cared for.

About: I've spent nearly my entire life caring for pets, from dogs and cats to guinea pigs. My love for animals was ingrained in me from early childhood, and my passion for nurturing animals plays a huge role in who I am today 🩷🐾 I'm currently in college and taking online classes for the 2026/2027 school year. This allows me to have a very flexible schedule for pet care. I currently offer pet sitting services outside of my home. This typically entails feeding dogs breakfast/dinner, taking them outside every few hours, playing with those who enjoy outside time, and simply spending some time providing belly rub services 🐶 For most cats, I feed breakfast/dinner, empty litter box daily, let outside (if permitted 🐈) and set aside time for cuddles 🐾

About: I went to school for 2 years to become a veterinary assistant, work 4 days a week and love what I do and enjoy being around animals in my spare time :) I enjoy drawing and painting in my free time and consider myself a care free individual. I have a dog of my own, a 7 year old beagle mix named Jaxx. Very outgoing and loves to play but what do you expect with a pup? Besides painting and working I enjoy watching my favorite show (Greys Anatomy or The Office) and laying back listening to music. I hope this answers most of your questions about me and I hope you take the chance to message me about taking care of your pet :) you won’t regret it! LoveHas4Paws :) I am mostly flexible with my job to fit your needs of pet sitting aside from starting school in December one day a week mostly. I come to the clients home to make the fur baby feel less stressed and relaxed since they are in their own home and give them all the love (and treats) lol

I have a fenced in yard and I am able to provide mental enrichment as well as physical walks/Sniffari adventures and I have personal pups to keeps your busy!

“Destiny took wonderful care of Danny and Ella! She was responsible, reliable, attentive, and very caring. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. She communicated well, followed all instructions, and treated them with so much kindness. I would absolutely trust Destiny to care for them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and thoughtful!”

About: I have taken care of and been around animals since I was a child. I had worked in Dog Daycares, walking dogs, and being a sitter for all kinds of animals. I can be gentle or authoritative with your pet while giving them love and kindness. My life is taking care of animals and loving them. I have plenty of free time to spend with your pets for walks, playtime, and so much more! I am quite strong to be able to hold tightly onto a leash if your animal is leash reactive. I am well versed in dog body language and can handle a hyperactive animal or a calm and cuddly baby.

About: Hello! I’m Emma, a recent college graduate who’s been missing having animals in my life now that I’ve finished school. I’m not quite ready to adopt again just yet, so I’d love the opportunity to give your pets some extra love and attention! I’ve loved animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I’m responsible, communicative, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My Experience I cared for my own dog, Kirby, for 12 years, taking care of his daily walks, meals, playtime, and everything else that came with being a pet parent. He passed away in 2024, and caring for other people’s pets has been a wonderful way for me to keep animals in my life. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve spent over 5 years caring for dogs and cats for friends, family, and clients. I have experience with pets of many different breeds, sizes, and ages, including pets with additional medical or daily-care needs. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and instructions closely so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I also have experience helping with feral cats through TNR, socialization, finding foster homes, and coordinating medical care. I’m the kind of person who carries pet treats when I travel because I can’t resist saying hello to an animal I meet along the way! I’d love the chance to meet you and your pet and give them the same patience, attention, and affection I would give my own. I’m a fast communicator, respectful of your home, and always do my best to leave things even cleaner than I found them. I look forward to meeting your furry family member! I typically book weekend only clients due to my work schedule in mental health treatment! However I enjoy spending my weekends with a furry friend as we sit outside or play together! I always ensure quality care for my clients pets and treat them as if they were my own! All in-home clients pets are treated with a high level of care and responsibility.

About: I grew up taking care of a friend's dog. I would take the dog on long walks. I also fed him and taught him tricks. My mom is a dog walker and I often help her. Through this help, I have walked and fed a variety of different kinds of dogs. I have experience with adopted dogs who have had trauma. I have had experience taking care of friends' cats as well. A dog I grew up with lived a long happy life and towards the end of it, had a lot of health problems. Through my experience with him, I learned to take care of older dogs. He was a very very smart goldendoodle and needed a lot of stimulation, so I often played with him using dog puzzles and now have experience helping guide dogs through them. When I was younger, I had the chance to work with and ride horses which I very much loved. I am currently working part time while attending grad school, so my schedule is very flexible! I have a lot of availability weekday afternoons, and can do evenings and weekends as well. I feed pets, ofcourse, and have experience washing dogs. I like to intellectually stimulate a pet and try to teach them tricks with food or treats. The dog I grew up often taking care of required a LOT of intellectual stimulation. We would play all sorts of different games and I would teach him tricks. He required a lot of this attention, so we often used kibble instead of treats. One of my favorite parts of meeting a new animal is learning how they communicate. I will endeavor to learn how your pet expresses their needs and wants so I can best support them.
