About: Many members of my family have had dogs, cats, and various other types of pets for my entire life. In my own home, my parents began giving me pet care tasks to help me practice caring for animals when I was pretty young. These skills have developed significantly over the years. I am a loving and caring person and have always had a playful side. This being said, I am still able to handle stressful situations with a firm but compassionate hand. This gives me a distinct advantage when it comes to pet care. Currently I work two jobs, one full-time and one part-time. The full time job have regular hours M-F, 8am to 4pm. I would be able to do drop in visits both before work starts and after it ends. I usually work my part time job on weekends in the late morning- early afternoon. They are very flexible and as long as I get enough notice, I will be able to schedule visits then as well. I feed my cat on a regular schedule so I am able to do the same with your pet. I am also able and willing to play, bathe, or just hang out with your pets. Unfortunately I would not be able to have your pets in my apartment, as my complex does not allow unauthorized animals but I am more than willing to come to you!
About: I've taken care of my own pets and all of my friends and family pets. I've had almost everything from chinchillas, to guinea pigs, to leopard geckos, to a bearded dragon and of course cats and dogs! I dedicate my time to my pet care and dog training so outside of running errands and my dog training appointments, my time is pretty open! I have experience with animal handling from my various jobs involving animals such as being a dog groomer and dog trainer. I can even handle dogs who don't get along and need to be crated and rotated.
About: Hello! My name is Alyssa and I am a 20 year old college student remotely studying Psychology and Criminal Justice. I’ve had dogs and a cat since I was young and was always held accountable to take care of them! I took a Veterinary Science class in High School and dealt with animals on a daily during this course (Bunnies and Puppies.) I have recently owned hamsters and fish as well that were 100% my responsibility. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have 4 years of paid experience with pet sitting for neighbors. Animals deserve the world and I love to make a difference in their lives even if they don’t understand it :) I am also willing to negotiate pricing based off your animals energy/need for attention/etc. Please reach out to me with any additional questions and I’d be happy to answer! I am currently a college student who is taking online courses to work on getting my degree. Other than daily assignments, I have no other daily commitments and will be available 90% of the time, other than my planned unavailability on my calendar! I have a large front and back yard with plenty of room to play. I do have an indoor/outdoor cat but she keeps to herself and is never a bother. I could easily keep her separated from your pet. If in your home, I will be sure to take all the steps you request and go above and beyond to ensure you and your animals are comfortable.
About: I’ve never lived a day in my life without having a dog by my side, and I can confidently say that I can’t imagine it any other way. From puppies to our older friends, I love them just like they’re my own. After many years spent with different breeds, sizes, and ages, I am also well versed in pet first aid and common health conditions. I am especially fond of senior dogs and would be honored to care for them. I have recently begun a full time job in Richmond but still petsit often since I truly enjoy it. My schedule best suits check ins with pets in the mornings or evenings. You will never have to worry about how your baby is doing. Because of my own personal (and very anxiety inducing!) experiences with being away from my boy, I am very diligent about keeping pet parents in the loop.
About: I work at the VBSPCA in the kennel so I know dogs pretty well. I currently have a 7 year old dachshund named Leo who’s great with other dogs and cats. My work schedule varies month to month. I can walk dogs or take care of pets in your home if my work schedule allows, or I can board in my apartment (dog friendly dogs/cats or small animals). I also have years of experience medicating dogs, cats, and small animals, and can trim nails on dogs and cats. I work 10 hour shifts, 4 days a week at the VBSPCA. It varies each week but I do get a monthly schedule each month. I live in an apartment in Newtown on the 3rd floor. I walk my dog or take him to the dog park when he needs to go out. If your dog has a routine he/she follows, let me know and I can accommodate!
“Kellee looked after Peluche for a week, and he had a great time! She sent us pictures of him and kept us updated. She left the house cleaner than she found it!”
“Morgan was great with Frankie! She made sure she got some extra love while we were away. She also kept the house clean and was respectful. We will definitely book Morgan again.”
“Abigail and Victor were super flexible and easy to work with. They took time to do a nice meet and greet and were very prompt with their service.”
“Melanie was very communicative and my dogs seemed to love her!”
About: I have worked with animals the past several years in different environments consisting of shelters, clinics, dog walking, and even doggy daycares! I’ve had experience with dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, turtles, and pigs! I also have experience medicating pets for those that require it. I have such a passion for animals and can’t wait to meet your fur babies! 🐾🥰 I am currently working part time remotely from home making my schedule flexible to accommodate your fur babies! I am available weekdays and most weekends. I can drop in while your at work and take your pup on an adventure walk around the neighborhood or toss the ball in the back yard and give them some loveins! ❤️ If pet sitting I can stop in multiple times a day as requested and feed, water, play, and even medicate if needed. I am very detail oriented and follow all pet care instructions. I will always send some cute pics and a detailed report after each visit to keep you informed. I know our animals are our babies and I will always treat yours as I do my own!❤️🐾
