It was not easy leaving my dogs but I knew they were in good hands the minute I met Meghan. She took great care of my dogs and sent me detailed updates. I highly recommend Meghan and will definitely use her again!

About: I know what a canine needs a lot of love, care, attention things they need because they also have a heart And they feel :) I'm currently working but I have time to take care of him at night if he stays to sleep so he will have a place to rest with a lot of serenity Where I live there is a park opposite so I could take him for a walk in the afternoons so he can feel the air outdoors and I have space in the living room so that he is at ease

We had an amazing experience with Allyson! From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about our two dogs' well-being. Both pups were so well taken care of, and we loved receiving updates and pictures while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Allyson again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

About: I have experience caring for dogs through both long-term and everyday responsibilities, including helping raise my aunt’s dog from puppyhood and regularly caring for my boyfriend’s dog. My responsibilities have included walking, feeding, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing companionship to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give to each pet individually. I understand that being away from their owner can be stressful for some animals, so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring, and positive environment where they feel secure and loved. My experience caring for puppies has also taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of paying close attention to behavior, routines, and energy levels. I treat every pet with the same care, compassion, and responsibility I would want for my own animals. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for my own cats. I make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention and playtime throughout the day. I even take my cat on walks, so I’m very attentive to both physical activity and emotional enrichment. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so being patient, observant, and consistent with their routines comes very naturally to me. II believe pets communicate their needs through their behavior and body language, so I always pay close attention to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I respect each pet’s boundaries while also giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, maintaining their routine, and making sure they don’t feel lonely or stressed while their owner is away.

I can’t say enough good things about Miranda. It’s clear she has a real knack for animals; my two dogs were so happy and well-exercised under her care. She was reliable, on time, and made sure everything ran smoothly. We’ve definitely found our go-to sitter and will be using her from now on!

About: I have taken care of dogs ranging from 10 pounds to 110 pounds my entire life. I have owned chihuahua dachshund mix, akitas, huskies, and German shepherds; so I understand big breeds as well as smaller ones. I have helped family members and neighbors with their dogs growing up with house sitting and dog walking. I know how important furbabies are to families, and treat each and every one as I would my own. I currently work full time with every other Monday off. I go to work about 7 am and get home about 430 pm. I do have volleyball leagues on Monday Wednesday and Friday nights that I am gone for 2 hours between 6-11pm as it varies based on game time. I love to hike and be outside so taking the dogs for walks a non issue. I have a small yard. It is in the process of getting fenced. If your furbaby needs to be crated that’s ok as well. They will be able to free roam if they are not crate trained. I adjust my schedule accordingly to accommodate the animals as best as I can. I have given insulin shots and medication to animals and am comfortable with it.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with pets taught me how important patience, consistency, and affection are when it comes to quality pet care. When I was younger, I even helped train my childhood dog, which taught me responsibility, positive reinforcement, and how to understand animal behavior from an early age. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. As a teacher, I’m dependable, attentive, and patient, and I truly enjoy spending time outdoors going on walks and staying active with pets. My goal is always to make your pet feel happy, comfortable, and cared for like family. As a teacher currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the day. I’m able to dedicate extra time and attention to walks, drop-ins, playtime, and maintaining pets’ routines. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I genuinely enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and caring for animals. I love being able to use my summer break doing something rewarding while giving pets the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities as a pet sitter and walker. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and close attention to their individual needs and routines. I always prioritize safe walks, secure environments, and clear communication with owners so they feel confident their pets are in good hands. I’m dependable, responsible, and attentive, which helps me build trust quickly with both pets and their owners. My goal is to create a calm, caring environment where pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Nancy did a wonderful job caring for our home and our three very different dogs while we were away. She was responsible, communicative, and great about checking in whenever she had questions. She carefully followed all instructions, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable in her care. We came home to happy dogs and a house that was in great shape. We truly appreciated the peace of mind she gave us and would absolutely recommend her to others.

About: My name is Nick and I am a teacher in Chesterfield county looking to use my love for animals as a way to make some extra money over the summer. I have had dogs and cats growing up my whole life and currently have a dog named Bagel and a cat named Friday. I also have lots of experience dog/cat sitting for friends and family over the years ever since I was in high-school. I am a teacher so I won’t be working during the summers so I will have unlimited time during the day/night to take care of your pets and their needs! Once the school year starts I can do weekends and afternoon/nights! I have a lot of energy myself so if your pets love to get exercise/play around I am very up for that. I also try to be very thorough with the pet care instructions and will ask questions/for clarification to ensure I am giving your pet the best care as possible.

About: I specialize in dogs that need a little extra grace and a lot of patience, but I also love a social butterfly! I know firsthand that not every dog is an easy walker; having raised a reactive dog and managed the 'pulling power' of a Great Dane and a Lab, I have the confidence to handle any situation. ​For social pups, I love encouraging their friendly nature and ensuring they get plenty of positive interaction. I am very observant of canine body language and use consistent treat training to keep every walk safe and fun. Whether your dog is a social socialite who loves making friends or a sensitive soul who needs a sitter who truly 'gets' reactivity, I provide a calm, confident environment tailored specifically to them. Pet care is a staple of my daily routine! While I work a standard 9-to-6 business day 5 days of the week, I am wide awake and ready to go for those early 5:00 AM or 6:00 AM morning walks. Your pup will get plenty of exercise and attention before I head out, and I’m back in the evenings for more play, dinner, and potty breaks until 10:00 PM. I specialize in house-sitting and recurring schedules, ensuring your pets have a consistent best friend to look forward to every morning and night. Whether I’m staying at your place or visiting for a drop-in, your pets are treated like family. My approach combines physical exercise with mental engagement—I love incorporating short, positive training sessions into our day to keep their minds sharp. They’ll get plenty of 'tummy rub' downtime and scheduled feedings, but they’ll also get the structure and play they need to stay happy and tired out. Your dog won't just be watched; they’ll be active, engaged, and thoroughly spoiled.
