Aliya is great with my pup! He’s always excited to see her and when I get home he is happy and calm. She takes him out for walks and runs him. He is always fed appropriately. She is very tidy in the house and respectful of my space. I trust her being alone in my home overnight and I am so grateful she is able to help me take care of my sweet pup.

Arabella & Dylan were very attentive to Makkachin. :) They tag teamed her care like pros, Arabella tapping in before Dylan left, and in total were with her for 5.5 hours, never leaving once! They were punctual, attentive to directions, which they followed to the letter, and gave her tons of attention and exercise, full of play, walks, and snuggles. They also fed her and kept her safe. She was happy and worn out in the best way. I would definitely use them again!

Maddy was great with our two dogs! She was very prompt and professional and provided updates/pictures. It's definitely a relief to know they are in good hands when we're away!

About: I’ve helped family and friends with their dogs for years and hope to be able to help you as well. Whether it’s a planed trip or life just getting in the way I’ll make myself available to help out in anyway I can. I’m a student at Hamden-Sydney College just outside of Farmville, Virginia. I am routinely in town especially during breaks and would love to help out in anyway I can. I am available to swing by to let dogs out during the day or take them on walks around the neighborhood. Just let me know what you’re looking for as I am definitely flexible.

About: Hello! I have 2 years of experience with dog walking + a handful of occasions where I have been trusted to pet-sit / board. I consider myself a loyal dog (and cat!) owner with a great work ethic. For the 2 years of dog walking, I walked a German Shepard — his name was Val. I walked Val consistently, in weather that ranged from 90-40 degrees Fahrenheit, up until his owner moved into a nursing home and Val was rehomed. I loved the big guy like he was my own dog - filling his water, scooping out his dog food, brushing him out, and playing fetch. I never missed a day I was scheduled unless there was a sudden change in plans (I was sick, she cancelled my walk, or an event took place where I couldn't arrive in time to walk him). Recently, my family has adopted our beloved goldendoodle puppy — Corduroy. I love him unconditionally, and so much of my free time is spent helping him get his energy out. I am a homeschooler, with all days free except for Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings. For walking purposes, I am available any time it is not dark outside and not preoccupied. Please note that my price for drop-ins, overnight care, and dog walking vary by location. The closer you are, the cheaper it will be. Below is how I determine payment: 0-5 miles from my home and/or workplace = $40 per night / drop in / walk Every additional 0.5 mile is $1 I make sure everything is taken care of. From basic expectations to leaving the house exactly how I found it — if not better. If it’s not my house or my pet, then I’m obligated to go by my clients rules.

Brendle was delightful and our 2 dogs had the best time with her. She hung out with them for 5 hours while we went to watch our son’s championship game. Brendle took them on a 2 mile hike, played ball at the park, and they were thoroughly and happily exhausted at the end of her stay. I cannot say enough nice things about Brendle! She is a gem!

About: I grew up in a home that had many different kinds of pets- from pups to kitties, to rabbits & guineas! I love being able to give them the love that I would give my own. I have a golden girl of my own now that is my best friend, and I hope to share that love to your fur babies. I am currently working part-time only, so I have the ability to care for your babies around that schedule and what works best for you! My golden girl can be kept in her own space at home, so that I am able to provide a safe space for yours, if needed. She is free to roam when I am home, and is also very comfortable around other animals.

About: I've been a devoted dog lover and caregiver since I was 14, accumulating over a decade of hands-on experience with our furry friends. From energetic daily walks to cozy overnight boarding, I've done it all. Whether it's a quick potty break, a long adventure-filled walk, or extended stays, I have the experience to ensure your pup receives the best care possible. My years of practice have taught me to understand and respond to each dog's unique needs, making every pet-sitting experience positive and tailored to your furry family member. I'm currently working remotely with flexible hours and have availability throughout the day all seven days. Since I take care of my own dog, I spend at least two hours outside a day and pet care is incorporated throughout my routine. My approach to pet care is tailored to each dog's unique needs, whether I'm caring for them in my home or theirs. I've worked with a wide range of dogs, from anxious and timid to energetic and even aggressive ones that needed special handling. In-home care: I maintain the dog's routine, following your instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise. For anxious dogs, I provide a calm, reassuring presence. For high-energy pups, I ensure plenty of physical and mental stimulation. Home boarding: I create a safe, welcoming space in my home. For dogs needing special accommodations, like those who can't be around others, I provide separate, secure areas. Daily walks and visits: I adapt to each dog's pace and stamina, always attentive to their comfort level and adjusting activities as needed. Regardless of the service, my priority is the dog's well-being and happiness. I'm committed to providing loving, attentive care that respects each dog's individual personality and needs, drawing on my experience with diverse canine temperaments and behaviors.

Alyssa recently stayed at out house and took care of our pup Emma. We rated her 5 stars because 6 stars wasn’t an option. She and Emma got along great and she kept us informed the entire time. She took immaculate care of our place and we think Emma was a little sad to see her leave. We look forward to having her come back.

About: I have 3 small female dogs of my own-2 chihuahuas and a shih tzu mix. I have helped my family care for them for around 7 years. I care for my 3 small dogs every day with my family. I feed and water them in the mornings and evenings. They are taken out every 2-3 hours by myself or someone else in my home. I care for pets by treating them like a part of the family. When caring for pets in others’ homes, I respect their boundaries and space. I follow all instructions closely, keeping things tidy and on schedule. I can send updates and pictures so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.

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.

Miranda demonstrates a passion for animals and caring for them. We booked her to drop in and let our dog Teddy out and make sure he was cared for while we were on vacation. She showed up for our agreed upon schedule and more than met our expectations for care. She sent us regular updates about him and was accommodating to our requests. We would definitely book her in the future if we need someone to care for an animal.
