April was so nice and great with Duke. I tend to be very anxious about him but she made me feel so at ease and sent an adorable picture of Duke on his walk!!

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with both dogs and cats, combined with my love for rescue pets. I’ve raised a Chihuahua mix rescue, Chuck, and worked in a doggie daycare, so I’m familiar with the needs of all ages—from puppies to seniors. I’m patient, reliable, and offer personalized care to make your pet feel right at home! I am currently finishing up my PhD in English literature, therefore my schedule is pretty flexible. Afternoons typically work best for me, but I can make exceptions for you and your pets' needs. My number one priority is the safety and comfort of your pet! I am detail oriented and will follow any special instructions precisely. I have a gentle and calm demeanor--most animals are comfortable around me.

About: Hi there! I'm a young professional who's grown up surrounded by animals ever since I can remember. This lifelong love led me to officially launch my own pet care business in my hometown at 14, and I've continued providing these services as I've relocated to different cities. Now, with about a decade of professional experience and a work-from-home arrangement, I can offer your pets consistent care and attention throughout the day. I've cared for all sorts of pets – from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC. Whether it's following special diets, administering medications, or using that one trick that always calms an anxious rescue, I adapt to each pet's unique needs. My remote work situation allows me to be available for midday walks, regular check-ins, or just some extra cuddle time when needed. Communication is crucial to me, so you can expect consistent updates and photos of your pets if desired. By choosing me, you're securing a dependable, seasoned, and adaptable caregiver who'll treat your fuzzy family members with the devotion and care all animals deserve. Let's work together to keep your pets happy and healthy! As a work-from-home professional, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. I'm available throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. Work officially ends around 4:30pm for me most days - however, my flexible schedule allows me to accommodate various pet care needs, anywhere between early morning visits to evening care. Weekends are open for more extensive services like boarding/home stays. I'm committed to working with you to provide consistent, attentive care that fits your pet's routine and your schedule. I prioritize the safety and comfort of pets in both their homes and mine. For in-home care, I follow your specific instructions meticulously, respecting your space and your pet's familiar environment. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly space with secure areas for play and rest. I'm experienced in administering medications, following dietary requirements, and adapting to each pet's unique needs. Regular updates and open communication ensure you're always informed about your pet's well-being and activities while in my care. Happy to chat about what arrangement works best for you!

About: I am a fur mommy to an amazing little guy we call Charlie Brown! He is wonderful with adults and children alike! We would love to find him some new friends by watching your cute fur babies too! In my house, someone is always home, so your pet would never be alone! We love to go on long walks through the neighborhood and the local park. Our Charlie Brown loves car rides! My husband is great with animals and loves to play with them! We also have a 4 year old girl who is learning to play with our dogs as well and a full of life 7 year old boy who loves animals, so playtime is all the time here! There is never a dull moment, that's for sure! If you aren't comfortable with your pet coming to our house, that's ok too! I (we) can come to you! I'm a trustworthy, respectful, playful dogsitter as well. Transportation is not an issue. I can stay over night or just check in from time to time with your little one. It's all up to you! Let me know what you need and we can figure it all out. I am looking forward to hearing from you and to getting to know all of those adorable fur babies!!!! "Ready to spoil, walk, pet and play! With our family, it's always a fun day!!!" I work for myself so my schedule is never an issue! Whatever may be needed, I will make happen. However, written instructions are always helpful! I don't have a fenced yard. However I do have a runner line that your pets can be hooked to outside so they can play as much as they want to without worry!!

About: I’ve had dogs in my house ever since I was born. I’ve walked dogs and pet sit multiple times over the past 7 years for multiple different families. I absolutely love dogs and would love to meet yours! I am a Paramedic/Firefighter and work very limited days during the month so I have a ton of days off and free time. I love dogs and would love to fill the time with some walks! I am not available for house sitting at my own home. But I am available to make visits and make sure your pets have their energy released and needs taken care of.

About: Hi, My name is Torie. I am a nurse. I grew up on a farm with horses, goats, chickens, donkeys, and of course dogs/cats. I worked at the Virginia Tech Dairy, milking cows and feeding calves, during my time as an undergraduate at Virginia Tech. I currently own a horse and I have two dogs. I have a heart for taking care of animals and I have a lot of experience. I have experience with caring for special needs, administering medications, and wound/injury care. I love all animals. I have two acres at my house, it’s not fenced in but I have gps fence collars. I have access to a large farm and river frontage where your dog can be thoroughly exercised with permission. Terms negotiable. Feel free to ask any questions you might have. :) The pets are taken care of before anything else. They will be let out, fed their breakfast, and exercised first thing in the morning. They will be let out or walked every 4 hours or less. I will either leash walk your pet or I do have a gps fence e collar available. My dogs are very friendly and playful. They get along with all dogs from teeny pocket beagles to huge hounds and everything in between.

About: Hi, I'm Hannah! I am reliable, trustworthy, honest, and will treat your pets with the very best of care. I have been petsitting all throughout high school to make a side income, and am now trying to help pay my way through college by housesitting and other odd jobs. For my entire childhood, I took care of my family's farm animals (chickens, cows, horses, cats, and dogs) so I am well versed and comfortable with any type of animal. I have experience with Border Collies, Standard Poodles, and Dachshunds, as well as many other breeds. Please let me know if you have any questions or inquiries! I look forward to the opportunity to meet your pups! I have seasonal work that usually ends mid June and resumes in August. During the summer, I have the most flexibility, due to college courses and assignments to work around. Work (i.e. your pets) is the most important thing to me, so I can definitely account for your schedule and find the system that fits us both the best. My family recently rescued an unruly Bernedoodle puppy, so to prevent any unwanted conflict, I only care for pets in their home during this time. Dogs are usually more comfortable and less stressed in their own surroundings, so until they get used to me, I feel this is best.

About: My family has always had animals and we couldn’t live without them. I’ve always been the biggest animal lover 🖤🐾 no matter the size or breed, I’ll treat them like I would my own! My current schedule is flexible. I am always wanting to help others and I’ve been successful with making plans that work best for me and my clients needs. I prioritize my own health so daily walking and playing with your fur babies will be enjoyable for the both of us! 🥰 I am a nurse first but if I didn’t take care of humans for a living, I’d take care of pets without a doubt. I am patient, honest, gentle, and trustworthy. I’ve never met an animal who didn’t gravitate towards me. You can rely on me to get the job done.

About: I’ve been trusted to take care of furry friends for 10+ years! I have a tremendous love for doggos (and for photographing them), and always make sure they’re happy and healthy. I have a sweet ol’ girl of my own named Brisa that’s almost 13 now (don’t remind me🥲), and I will take care and love your animals the same way I cherish mine! As I’m in early stages of starting up a business of my own, I have plenty of time throughout the day to spend quality time with your sweet angels, and give them all the love and attention they could desire! The best way I could explain it is..well..I’m a helicopter parent when it comes to furry friends. I keep a very close eye on them, and am very attentive. I especially focus on establishing trust with your dogs the first few times I meet them, along with showering them with lovins! In the event something bad happens, I’ll be sure to contact you, your vet, and/or 911 depending on the severity. Your furry friends will be in the safest hands!

About: I have looked after both dogs and cats for multiple years of friends and family. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of personalized care I give to each pet. I treat your pet like family, whether that means sticking closely to their routine, giving them extra cuddles, or understanding their unique quirks and needs. I have experience with a wide range of pets, including dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds. I'm comfortable administering medication and even handling leash reactivity for dogs. Clear communication, reliability, and genuine love for animals are at the core of everything I do. I currently work full-time but will be leaving soon to continue my education in a Masters program! I am available most Wednesdays and weekends as well as majority of evenings during the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are keeping their routine consistent, making them feel safe and loved, and respecting your space as if it were my own. I take the time to learn your pet’s habits, feeding schedule, walk routine if applicable, and favorite toys or activities. Whether it’s playtime, quiet companionship, or a long walk, I adjust to what your pet needs most. I also send regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Cleanliness, clear communication, and attention to detail are part of every visit.

About: Life long animal lover and pet parent, who recognizes that our furry friends are our family and deserve the best care and consideration! I've taken care of animals since I was kiddo, and currently share a roof with three cats and one pup. Friends, family, former employers, and my very own animals trust me to watch, walk, feed, water, groom (brushing, bathing, trimming nails) and lavish their cats and dogs with attention. My availability varies, as I work in the Events field, but I am ready and interested to take on regular weekday workday (9-5) walking duties with your pups! As a guest in your home, I will show your space and family the utmost respect. Being invited into your family's space is a privilege.

About: I've always had dog(s) in my household since I was a little boy. I've seen them all, hyper dogs, lazy dogs, mean dogs, social dogs, and dogs that think that they're human. In my experience in dealing with all of these personalities I've noticed one trait that is essential in dog-care, patience. Patience is something that I have no shortage of, I've seen it all. Trust me, I've seen the nitty, the gritty, and the nasty...nothing can scare me away. In terms of my tangible experience, I've logged an immense amount of hours volunteering at animal shelters and pet-sitting for various friends and family. I'm a huge advocate for exercise and fitness for pets so if you leave your dog with me, I guarantee that we will be going on runs and playing outside.
