House Sitting Appomattox

“Luke did a great job! He house sat with our dog over the weekend. Left our house super clean - did a through run down of daily activities when we return. Our dog was sad to see him leave. He arrived early which was a bonus bc we needed a minute to go over specifics before we left. Great job highly recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

About: I grew up helping my parents in many dog rescue efforts, fostering, shelter volunteering, and our own adoptions! I have owned dogs of all shapes and sizes, with all different kinds of special needs tailored to them. Until recently, I lived in Northern Virginia. There, I worked at the Dogtopia of Springfield as a Canine Coach since July of last year. Here, I have gained a lot of experience in both day and overnight care. Additionally, I became Pet CPR and First Aid Certified. Now that I have moved back home, I am ready to provide my services to my home community! I currently work part-time, but this is mostly limited to the mornings (before 1:00 PM) and only 3-4 days per week. On days I do work part-time, I am up and ready to go by 5:00 AM, so early-morning jobs are no hassle when I am available! I will treat your home with upmost respect to ensure the best experience possible! I am here for your pet(s), and this will remain my #1 focus on the job.

“Gina did a great job petsitting our cat and dog for an overnight at our house. In addition to scheduling a meet and greet before house-sitting, she kept us updated with her arrival and departure time and shared photo updates with us during the stay. Our place was clean and tidy when we returned, and our pets seemed happy and content!”

About: Throughout my life, me and my family have constantly had dogs and cats in and out of the house, ranging from small puppies/kittens to largest dogs. I’ve rescued so many animals with my mother and it has become a norm to be around multiple at a time.I love being with animals and enjoy spending time with all types. I’m a part time employee so weekdays I’m free from 11:30 to around 3 but on Fridays and Saturday I’m free all day. Sundays after 4pm I can feed, play, or walk any animal and can adjust to all personalities. I can ensure that whatever instructions you give me I will do my best to make them happen and make sure you animals is well taken care of.

“Heather stepped up when we needed it most! She took great care of our “zoo” while we were away. She gave all of our animals so much love and attention. Everything went super smoothly!”

About: I have two small dogs who are my world. I love all types of pets, and I can make room in my schedule and heart to care for your dogs and cats. I will board your dogs or cats, or I can make daily check-ins at your home. I am currently retired and only work some part-time jobs. I am pretty flexible and will work with families to take care of your precious pets. I have a large farm and home and will crate your dogs as needed. They will love the open space for walks and play. I will keep all pets separated for a more stress-free experience.

About: I know your pet is part of your family, & I truly consider it an honor to care for them. My goal is to keep them safe, comfortable, & happy while you're away. I homeschool my 3 kids, so I have a flexible schedule & spend a lot of time at home. That means your pet will get lots of attention, love, & care—not just a place to stay. I'm happy to follow their normal routine & will send regular photo updates so you know they're doing well. I also have experience caring for farm animals! I'd love to meet you & your pet. Feel free to reach out with any questions! 🐾 We have a flexible schedule & it allows me to provide plenty of attention & care throughout the day for your pet while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own! I follow your instructions & your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable & cared for while you’re away. Whether they’re in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I want you to have peace of mind knowing they’re safe & loved.

“Brittney and Steve are absolutely fantastic. Before them, I was constantly checking my phone to see if our dog, Gracie, had been checked on. Not once on our trip did I have to worry. Our Gracie also just went through hind limb amputation due to cancer, and their diligence is just amazing. They made sure to take extra time with us to go over her new routine. Gracie can be a bit of a princess, and it was just calming to know that there was someone taking extra time with her. The text updates and pictures made us smile while on vacation. Definitely an amazing choice! If I could give more stars I would!”

“Tina was wonderful with our puppy. He had never had a pet sitter before, and she took excellent and loving care of him, with lots of play time, exercise, and even some training. He even cried when she left! We will definitely ask her to take care of him again.”

About: I have 1 of my own dogs who lives with me. But I also have experience with a total of 4 dogs as my parents have 3. All are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I am comfortable with all medium and small size dogs. I do request that they are house trained. I like to take dogs on walks but if they are smaller it is okay if they are not perfect at walking on a leash. I can even help work with them on that. I currently work a normal day job during the week. But I work remote, that means that the dogs would not be alone at all during the day. They would have someone to care for them, take them out and feed them if necessary. Every day it is not raining, I do go on a 1 mile walk with my dog on my lunch so that they get good exercise. HOUSE SITTING: I can work remote from your house providing care all day. However, my dog Charlie would also have to come with me. If this is something that you do not feel comfortable with, I can offer drop in help instead. I have 1 of my own dogs (Charlie) who lives with me full time. My apartment is fully equipped for a dog to be here safely. I have a balcony where the dogs can spend time enjoying the fresh air. My dog gets along with all other dogs and is very friendly as he used to go to daycare with many other dogs. I have the ability to walk the dogs, get them fresh air and exercise. I also have dog toys and bones available for them to use. Dogs are allowed in all areas of my place. Including the couch, dog beds and human beds. Allowing them to be where they feel the most comfortable.

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. As a pet owner myself, I understand that our pets are family members, not just animals. My personal dogs receive the same love, attention, and care that I would want for any pet entrusted to me. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have more than 15 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including owning and operating a nonprofit animal rescue for five years. Through my rescue work, I cared for hundreds of dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, special-needs pets, and dogs recovering from illness or surgery. I am experienced with administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or veterinary care. I know that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will care for them as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Because I spend a significant amount of time at home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and potty breaks throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and will work with you to ensure your pet’s schedule, feeding times, medications, and preferences are followed closely. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I can provide the level of care and attention they need. Safety is always my top priority. My experience running an animal rescue taught me how to properly introduce dogs, recognize signs of stress, manage different personalities, and provide a safe environment for pets with varying needs. I have a securely fenced yard and closely supervise outdoor time. I can also accommodate medications, special feeding instructions, crate training, and senior pet care.

About: What sets me apart from all sitters is my deep depth for all animals. As a child, I have always developed a love for animals. My love and compassion for animals spilled over into the education field working with students with special needs. Presently, I have four rescue cats, two classroom guinea pigs, and four dogs, one of which is a rescue. I volunteer with my country's animal shelter, and I have fostered and saved many animals. My love for critters is endless. I am a teacher, so teachers do not work in the summer. However, I do work teaching summer school and a camp in June. I can work evenings and remain overnight. I have the entire month of July off. My children are grown, so my schedule is flexible. I can provide references. I live in a secluded area, so when I am home, they have free range. My dogs are leash trained. During the day when I am home, they remain in a crate. I live six minutes from work, so they arent in their crates all day. My oldest daughter lives with me, so when I am away, they are taken care of.

About: Dogs are the best adventure animals they are always the most loyal doesn’t matter how bad of a day you have or they have. They’ll always be there next to you no matter what happens. I work mostly from 11 to 6 so I’ll have mornings and evenings to be with your beloved family members to give them the love when you are not around. It’s an honor to be able to spend time with them. If I’m going to your house, I would bye-bye and follow whatever way you like to have your loved pets taken care of. At my house right now I have cats so they are indoor outdoor with a little box available inside.

About: I’ve watched chickens, goats, horses, dogs ,cats,and so many more! I love watching the fur babies and plus I send pictures and updates to there mom and dads while they are away!
