House Sitting in Broad Run

“Elizabeth stayed for two full weeks at our house taking care of all the pets, and even the plants. It was SO nice leaving without needed to do anything or stressing the animals with a different environment or prolonged loneliness while we were gone and returning with everyone and everything still in its place happy and healthy.”

“Suzanna takes great care of our pets! She gives lots of updates and really puts us at ease knowing she is in charge of our boys. She was able to stay at our house twice. Each time we returned to a clean house and happy pets! She gets our mail and even takes out the trash. Can’t say enough about how happy we are to have found her! Thank you again, Suzanna!”

About: I have grown up with large dogs my whole life and have experienced caring for high energy and high maintenance pets. Over the past four years, I have also cared for my family members’ pets while they were away, helping with feeding, walking, daily care and playtime. I love all dogs and animals and treat them as if they were my own. I am a college kid who is currently on summer break with very little plans. I have pretty much the whole day to care for your pups! I have a very big fenced in yard for lots of playing and running around. I also have a separate apartment off of my house your pup and I can stay in.

About: I provide reliable, attentive pet care and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable while their owners are away. Every booking includes morning and evening updates with photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I have hands-on experience caring for multiple pets at once, including dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, exercise, playtime, and ensuring each pet receives the individual attention they need. I've cared for family pets, friends' dogs, and pets with unique care requirements. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for other animals such as lizards and fish, which has taught me the importance of following care instructions carefully and maintaining consistent routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, stress-free experience while keeping their normal schedule as consistent as possible. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I'm often available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and extended companionship during house-sitting stays. I'm currently a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide pet care throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and varying times of day. This flexibility helps me accommodate your pet's routine and provide consistent care while you're away. Because of my flexible schedule, I'm often able to spend more time with pets throughout the day than sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs, helping them receive more companionship, exercise, and attention. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment in every pet-sitting experience. Since I care for pets in their own home, I respect your space and maintain your pet's normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable while you're away. During walks, your pet's safety is my top priority. I use secure leashing, stay aware of our surroundings, and avoid potentially unsafe situations such as busy roads or unfamiliar dogs. I take the time to understand each pet's behavior, personality, and comfort level to ensure safe and enjoyable walks.

About: I have had all different types of animals since I was a kid. For the past several years I have spent time fostering cats and dogs as well as adopting my own dog, (who is blind), Willow! I currently have a work from home job that allows for a flexible schedule and availability that can fit the needs of you and your animals! They will be given attention throughout the day and walked as needed. I am home all day to monitor the animal(s) and I have toys, crates of different sizes and gates if they are ever needed. Local to several nature trails and dog parks as well as many dog-friendly establishments that I frequent in warmer weather!

“Deb took excellent care of our dog! She also took the time to send me updates with pictures while we were away. We have already booked her for future trips!”

About: Nice to meet you! I’m a college student at JMU and have taken care of different animals all my life, and often get asked by family and friends to pet sit-caring from animals as small as hamsters to larger dogs like german shepherds. I am very used to walking large dogs, as I have grown up with german shepherds all my life, and I am very used to taking care of animals with disabilities or special dietary needs. For example, my childhood dog had a pancreatic disorder where I fed her a special diet and am accustomed to carefully following directions and making sure everyone is safe and healthy. I absolutely love cats as well, I have a cat named Moss who is very very spoiled and loved. I am a very clean and responsible person who can be trusted to watch over your loved one and home. 🩵I am offering discounted rates for clients looking for daily recurring dog walks. (For example: 1 walk a day five days a week, but can be more than 1 ofcourse depending on your needs) I understand the importance of dogs getting their daily exercise in and want to be helpful for someone who’s understandably on the fence about scheduling something that can be a costly service. Please feel free to message me about getting this set up if you’re interested, I want to help out anyone I can.🩵 Some things that will be firmly and vehemently followed in my care: -Doors will be verified locked every time I leave, I understand how important it is to keep the home secure and your pet safe. -Your pet will NOT be lost under my care (I have seen the horror stories as well and can’t even fully fathom how awful that would be to experience) -I will follow housekeeping tasks requested by the home owner -I will strictly follow both household and pet care guidelines instructed by the owner. Thank you so much for your time! 🩵 I am a college student home for the summer so I am very available, please don’t hesitate in reaching out so we can coordinate a schedule! :) I will care for the pets and home with the upmost amount of care and respect. Im very concerned about making sure the pet is comfortable and safe at all times, and keeping the home very clean. I understand how stressful it can be to trust someone to take care of your loved ones and home, and I want to reassure you that I am very responsible, attentive, and communicative throughout the entire process. I will follow any specific instructions you provide and am happy to give regular updates, whether that’s photos, messages, or calls, to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family, and your home will be left just as you found it. I'm here to make your time away as smooth and stress free as possible for both you and your pets. :)

“We are grateful to find Rebecca to watch Murphy, our English lab. Murph can be a bit of a diva, he demands a lot of attention and can be difficult to walk sometimes. He requires a lot of patience! Rebecca is great, she is very responsible and I trust her with my beloved pup. I appreciate the updates she gave and the level of care she provided. We will definitely be seeking Rebeccas’ services again soon!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and have 6 years of experience making sure pets stay happy and healthy while their owners are away. I have a ton of energy for long walks, park trips, and playing fetch for high-energy dogs, but I also can be calm and relaxed for senior dogs. Because I study at home, my schedule is very flexible, which is perfect for house-sitting! I can spend the majority of my day at your home, ensuring your pet is never left alone for long periods. I’m available for overnight stays during the week and on weekends, and I make it a priority to stick to your pet's specific walking and feeding routine so their day feels totally normal while you're away. I take the responsibility of staying in your home very seriously. I am extremely diligent about home security—always double-checking that doors and windows are locked and that your pet is secure before I step out. I pride myself on leaving your home exactly as I found it (or cleaner!). I’m also a very frequent communicator; I love sending daily photo updates and quick 'check-ins' so you never have to wonder how things are going.

“Lindsey was excellent with my two highly energetic dogs. Definitely recommend!”
