“September was amazing, she will be our go to sitter from now on. I’m not positive , but I think Nooka may be ready for us to leave again soon.”

About: I worked at a doggie daycare and boarding facility for two years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From group play supervision to feeding, cleaning, and administering medications, I gained experience in all aspects of pet care. I’ve also personally trained three dogs of my own—including a Great Pyrenees and a Black Lab puppy—so I’m very comfortable with everything from basic commands to crate training and leash manners. I’m confident with high-energy pups, large breeds, and dogs who may need a little extra patience. I’m currently available full-time until August 11th, so I can offer flexible and attentive care throughout the day. After that, I’ll be working full-time, but I’ll still be available for evenings, weekends, and early mornings depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you and your pup! Whether your pet is in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take time to understand each dog’s personality and needs—whether that means sticking to a routine, giving space, or providing extra playtime and cuddles. In my home, I create a calm and structured environment with plenty of supervision, especially during introductions with my own dogs. I’m experienced with crate training, managing group dynamics, and caring for dogs with specific behavioral needs. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect and care I give to my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely to ensure your pet stays happy, safe, and stress-free.

About: I do have a cat of my own and a bunny and always dog sit my family dog Capone he’s about two and an half years old! And a pitbull mix, I do have references! I can start in August mostly around 3pm until whenever! I’m very flexible with time and dog sitting or cat sitting I can do Mondays-Fridays! I always take care of my cat and bunny in the mornings and always give them my time attention after work and make sure they have fresh water and entertainment and treats!

“Whew...this was our first time having someone dog sit for us, let alone stay at our house to do it. Rachel was AMAZING. She was personable, professional, very responsive, and sent lots of pictures and updates (we were gone for 8 days). Our dog was clearly well loved and cared for. We would recommend Rachel to our friends and family, and will certainly hire again!”

About: I started volunteering at the animal shelter when I was 10. I have 5 dogs and 8 cats that I have rescued from abusive/neglectful homes, the streets, and from the shelter. I took a vet tech class in high school and a big/small animal class. I’m very good with all kinds and types of animals. I work part time currently, 4 to 5 hours a day Monday-Thursday and I’m off Friday-Sunday. I will definitely be able to care for and engage with your pet when needed. When I go to a new house to dog sit I always lock the doors and make sure to follow all rules I have been given. I stay very aware of my surroundings and the animal.

“Tricia was wonderful!!!! She took amazing care of our 3 dogs for 5 days. They are our furry babies & after meeting her, we felt comfortable & trusted her with our dogs & our home. Tricia went above & beyond. My husband & I would highly recommend her to care for your furry babies. Besides the care if our 3 dogs, she was so respectful of our home. Again, above & beyond. She was truly a person we can reply on & trust for the care of our pets.”

“Blair left my place in perfect condition and made sure my 2 kitties were loved and fed! She seemed to be such an animal lover with a ton of experience with animal care. Would recommend to anyone!”

“Aubry left my apartment completely spotless and was very understanding of my cats' early feeding schedule. Would definitely book again!”

About: I’ve grown up showing and raising all kinds of animals. I have experience with all kinds of animals, cows pigs, goats, and of course smaller animals like cats and dogs. But I love all of them and have gotten very familiar with taking care of animals, and making sure they’re comfortable as well. I live on a farm, so pet care is part of my daily life anyways, and I’m used to having to fit that into my schedule, even when busy, so if I have another to take care of, that’s no issue! My animals are definitely cared for. They have a huge yard with plenty of room to run; and plenty of companions. They are played with and they get lots of love, and your pet would be no different.

“Goes above and beyond.”

“Georgia did wonderful watching and caring for my cat and dog. I was so worried leaving for a week but she has done great and sent videos of my dog enjoying a pup cup. She walked him to our local ice cream shop to give him some out time while I was gone. She’s great!!”

“Camille is always wonderful and responsive. She takes excellent care of our pets each time she stays.”

Danielle T.

“Kylie was great with my 3 dogs! She gave them lots of love and attention and time outside while we were gone. Great communication and response times too. Would definitely recommend her!”

About: I have been around animals my whole life, and I have done dog and cat sitting a few times over the years for neighbors or friends. I’ve had cats and dogs in my home since 2014, and I am very comfortable around both. I currently have a full time job; I work primarily in the mornings with evening shifts thrown in here and there. I don’t do much outside of that, so I am pretty available otherwise. I want to keep all pets feeling comfortable, following their routines/schedule, and keeping them company (within their boundaries). I no longer live with my cats and miss them greatly, so I will make sure they receive extra attention, pets, and playtime (within their boundaries).

About: While I have the most experience taking care of cats, I do have experience with dogs, bearded dragons, and fish as well! I am also always open to learning about new animals and their care routines. I am consistent, detail oriented and passionate about caring for critters and that will always be the same no matter the animal! I am currently employed 7-3:30 5 days per week. I am able to attend to pets before and after work every day as well as on my days off. If something does not quite fit with my schedule I do have a partner who is a little more flexible and may be able to fill in. I live in a spacious townhouse, so if your pet is joining our crew we can provide them with their own space or allow them to roam with the others! If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat it as if its my own. I am a very cleanly person and I am detail oriented so I will attend to your surroundings as well as your pet!

“Kara did amazing with Stella! I never leave Stella alone, she goes everywhere with me but I had complete peace of mind leaving her in Kara’s care over the weekend! She sent me the best, cutest pictures of little Stella Bean and kept me updated through the night and morning! Definitely an amazing experience overall!”

About: When it comes to taking care of your pets they become my first priority! I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was a young age. I’ve worked in the veterinary field for 4 years. So if you have a senior pet or have one that needs daily medication I’m your gal! Along with all other services or skills from the veterinary field. I’d your pet needs long walks I’ll be there! I’m currently unemployed, so watching over your four legged furry friends is my number one priority! I am open any time whenever you need me! With the service I offer whatever your pet is familiar with or used to is how I’ll treat them best! Whether it would be let outside in your yard with a fence or leash walked! Either way time would be spent to take care of your pets however you’d like! Spending time with them by playing and loving them!

“Abby is amazing! She took great care of our pets while we e were gone for a week. I felt so much better leaving them knowing she was here with them while we were away. She is so kind. Our dog even broke a door latch stopper thing we use to keep her out of the basement where the litter boxes and cat food is and Abby replaced it for us. We appreciate everything she did for us and our babies. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Bethany did everything that I asked and even sent pictures of my dog! Thank you so much for taking such good care of Wrigley!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since i was very young and always adored and loved them. I’ll love and adore yours also and give them only the best care. 😊 I work part time at our district in Roanoke-Benson as a paraprofessional and just finished my 15th year. I love pet-sitting and have done so for my friends and coworkers. I’m reliable and very responsible and love being with small/med dogs and/or cats. I’m also trustworthy and independent and will gladly meet your dear pets needs. I generally care for your pets in your home. It’s much more comfortable and familiar for them and it’s where all their things are very handy.
