About: If you book with me I can assure you a safe, fun, and nurturing environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and expert attention for your loving animals. Peace of mind for you— paradise and tail wags for them! 💞🐾 I have extensive experience with cats and dogs. I’m 25 and I grew up with so many cats, dogs, reptiles, I have even helped rescue deer, owls, pigs, and goats before too! I specialize in dog training, I have been doing it for 7 years now and have loved every minute of it- it is my true passion!! ❤️ That is another great reason to book with me, since I am well equipped to handle the many behaviors dogs may experience during their stay, and doing it in a safe manner as well. I have trained and rehabilitated many dogs that had severe anxiety and aggression too, some of them eventually became service dogs because of how well they transformed into a better version of themselves! I’m experienced with many different breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs so I am well versed in knowing personalities and behaviors and how to handle them in any way. ❤️😁 If you book with me your dog will experience fun activities such as enrichment toys, puzzle games, walks on trails, public outings such as to stores, parks, certain restaurants. They will also get to join pack walks, play time with other dogs, and one on one time with me! And if your dog is a couch potato 🥔 they can cozy up on the dog couch and enjoy their vacation in peace! 🏝️🐕💛 If you book with me your dog will experience a safe, fun, peaceful environment to where they will be excited to come back again! 🐾🎾 it is the opposite of when they go to the vet and have their tail tucked all nervously- your dog will have their tail wagging in the wind and jumping of joy as soon as you pull into my driveway because they know this is the place for fun and relaxation!! 🥳🥰🙌 All activities are very structured here. All dogs are supervised at all times when they are not crated, and when they are crated they are supervised by a camera I have connected to an app in my phone! Things are very structured in a sense of safety, behavior, and peace within all of the dogs during their stay. That’s where being a dog trainer comes in handy and the dogs can have fun while being in a calm state of mind! 😉🧘‍♀️💗🐾 I have three large dog yards- two are fenced in with 6ft privacy fence, and one yard is 6ft chain link fence. They can go potty, play, sun bathe, play in the dog pool, or just enjoy the fresh air. This is also nice if your dog isn’t aloud around other dogs- they will have their own large area to do their business and enjoy their time outdoors in a safe private area too!! 😌❤️ Cats love it here too! 🐈🐈‍⬛ your furry baby will get to enjoy toys, lick mats, cat castles and scratching boards. Even some cat nip if they’d like 🤪😸, and plenty of cuddles to “make biscuits”. 🥰🐾 If your dog can’t be around other dogs or cats, that is no problem here. I have plenty of room to give dogs and cats their own private space to still keep them at peace and accommodate to their needs during their stay! I like to match personalities within dogs so they can make great friends while they are on their vacation too!! It is also no problem if your dog/cat is on any medications as well- they will be issued them as directed during their stay and I am well experienced with that as well, so don’t worry about that! ❤️‍🩹🩺🐾 I always send plenty of updates by text with photos and videos during their stay so you don’t feel left out as I know it’s hard to leave our fur babies while we’re away! 📲📸🥰 If you book with me I can assure you your fur babies will have a blast and want to come back for more, there is plenty of love to go around here and I hope to meet your furry companions soon! 💞🐕🐕‍🦺🦮🐩🐈‍⬛🐈💞 I currently am a dog trainer, though I am still flexible and available to schedule at your convenience! Sometimes my mornings can be quite busy, but I will always do everything I can to exhaust all measures in making sure scheduling you isn’t a problem! I have 4 dogs- 2 German shepherds and 2 shepherd mix breeds. 3 are female 1 is male. I have 1 male indoor cat and 5 outdoor cats. I can assure your fur baby won’t feel lonely with the company of my own companions!! 💞 -I have multiple different rooms your fur baby can stay in if they need their own private space. -3 large fenced in yards. -structured play time with other dogs and solo play time. -pack walks and solo walks -public outings/hikes -crated when unsupervised to ensure safety of all dogs -enrichment toy/puzzle time each day to mentally stimulate and help soothe your dog -endless cuddles and love to go around 💗🥰🐾

“This was the 1st time we've left Hero with anyone while we went out of town, but when we had our initial meet and greet with Christy, I felt comfortable leaving him. Christy sent us pictures and we laughed because he looked right at home. I definitely will be using Christy again and will be recommending her! Thank you Christy”

Carla M.

“Hank enjoyed another stay with Kenan and Kayleigh, and his moms appreciated knowing that he was in kind, caring, and safe hands! He had a great time playing with another 4-legged guest and going for walks on their beautiful farm. We greatly appreciated the updates, pictures, and videos that we received during Hanks stay. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Angela, and caring for dogs has been a lifelong passion of mine for over 30 years. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a longer trip, I offer reliable, compassionate care that lets you travel with peace of mind. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. In fact, dogs are treated more like humans than dogs in my home. They’re truly a gift from God and I want to provide a sense of peace for you, knowing your fur-baby is in good hands. I also understand that each dog is unique—and I take the time to earn their trust and keep them comfortable and happy in your absence. Why I Love Dog Sitting: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and consistency. I love getting to know their personalities and seeing the joy in their tails when they’re relaxed and happy. What I Offer: ~Overnight care & vacation sitting ~Medication administration (oral, topical, injections) ~Senior dog care & puppy support ~Personalized attention based on your dog’s needs & routine My Experience: ✅ 30+ years of hands-on dog care ✅ Comfortable with seniors, puppies, and special needs dogs ✅ Medication admin (oral, topical, injections) ✅ Experience with shy, reactive, and high-energy dogs ✅ Long walks, belly rubs, and lots of love guaranteed If you’re looking for someone with a deep understanding of canine behavior, a calm and gentle presence, and a true love for animals, I’d be honored to care for your dog. As a teacher of 17 years, I'm available full time during the school year for dog boarding in my home. Whether you're heading out for the weekend, traveling for work, or going on a week long vacation, your pup will have a safe, calm, and loving place to stay. Although I am a teacher, I will have an hour and half in the morning to feed, walk, and interact with your pup before heading to work and will be home at 3:20pm for the rest of the day during the school year. After I return home from work, your dog becomes my full focus. I make sure they get plenty of quality time, including a walk, playtime, cuddles, and any care or enrichment they need to get energy out and to wind down happily. Evenings are for connection—whether that’s a long sniffy stroll, interactive games, or simply relaxing together on the couch. I follow your pup’s routine closely and ensure they’re never lacking attention or companionship after a day of rest. To ensure a "pawsitive" experience while I'm away for part of the day, I keep the environment calm, safe, and cozy while I’m gone, and I give your dog all the love and interaction they deserve when I return. Here's a little more about my schedule: School Year (August-May): ~Full-time availability for boarding ~Flexible drop-off and pick-up times ~Weekday and weekend stays welcome School Holidays & Breaks: I remain fully available during school holidays and breaks, with even more time for long walks, enrichment, and personalized attention. Summer (June-July): I remain fully available during my summer brea, with even more time for long walks, enrichment, and personalized attention. With 30+ years of experience, I provide a peaceful, dog-friendly environment where your pet can feel relaxed, safe, and at home. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can travel worry-free! With over 30 years of experience, pet safety and comfort are always my top priorities. While caring for your dog in my home, I provide a calm, structured, and loving environment that helps dogs feel secure and at ease. I have an organized, clutter free, smoke free home in a beautiful neighborhood in Collinsville, VA and have included photos for you to see where your fur-baby would be staying should you choose me as your pet sitter. My home is pet-friendly, safe, and quiet—perfect for dogs who enjoy a cozy, low-stress environment. I don’t have young children (their ages are 20, 16, & 14) or other pets, so your dog will receive one-on-one attention. I carefully introduce new dogs, supervise all interactions, and provide plenty of space for rest and play. Safety Practices: ~Always on-leash outdoors, unless in a securely fenced area ~Regular check-ins with you via photos, snapchat videos, and phone calls as needed ~Administer medications exactly as directed ~Clean, organized, secure spaces with no access to hazards ~Emergency vet contact and pet first-aid knowledge You can trust that your dog will be treated with kindness, patience, and experienced care every step of the way. I want you to feel completely at ease while you're away.

“Kathryn was so sweet and amazing with Buddy. I loved how she sent pictures and updated us with how he was doing. It felt like I was dropping him off at a friend’s house. Will definitely be using her again.”

“I just want to say I love Jessica she took care of my bear. She sent me pics and videos letting me know how bear was doing while I was away. When I pick him up he was happy. I also love how she has it set up for the dogs. I most definitely will be using her again and recommend her to anyone that is looking for someone who will take care of there fur babies and a safe place. Thank you again Jessica!!”

About: Hi! My name is Shakira I have been working with many different types of animals for years! I have experience with basic medicine, medication administration, and many other important concepts of animal care! I am passionate about my job and would love to help you care for your pet! I have pet sitting experience with many clients from past veterinary clinics, but I am looking to expand these services to more locals! I have worked with many species, including farm and exotic animals. I specialize in dogs, including utilizing low stress techniques for aggressive or anxious dog breeds. Please contact me for any information regarding booking or if you have any more questions or concerns. I’m excited to hear about you and your pet! I currently work from home. Other than small errands, I am home throughout the day and can provide frequent supervision and potty breaks when needed. I currently have no pets in my home, so if selecting to board, your animal would have my full attention. I do require that animals are comfortable with young children. If selecting day care, I am experienced with accessing homes for walks and pick up/drop off.

“Melissa was great. She was super loving toward our dogs and gave regular updates during their stay. We will definitely be back and highly recommend her.”

Anne A.

“Amanda's care was the best ever. There is nothing that could have improved or changed, it was perfect in all respects. Amanda responded to messages quckly and kept a nervous pet parent at ease. I am very picky about Gatsby's care when I have to leave and can't take him with me. I knew when I went for a meet and greet it would be excellent, and it was. Gatsby has a couple health issues and that didn't bother Amanda. She administered his meds, no problem. I would be happy to reccomend Amanda to anyone. My only concern is she gets to busy and I have to find someone else.”

David M.

“My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Teresa. We did an initial meet and greet and knew her and her family would take good care of Onyx. Teresa kept us updated with texts and pictures throughout the stay. She took the time to ask questions to learn what Onyx liked and didn't like, and what his normal routine was. We would recommend Teresa and use her services again in the furture. We're so glad Onyx was able to stay with her loving family who showed him the same attention he receives at home.”

Shanell T.

“Nicole was so wonderful! If there were more stars, I would definitely give them. She was so communicative and kind. And I could tell she took care of my pups just like how I would. She sent tons of photos and quickly responded. I’m always a little anxious to leave my babies, but she eased all the worries. I hope to board with her again.”

Alexxus B.

“Cynthia took such good care of my Shih Tzu and gave me lots of updates! Bentley kept looking back at her when we left like he was going to miss her. I could tell he had a great stay and would definitely book her again.”
