Pet Sitting Bull Run Mountain Estates

“Thank you for your flexibility with our changing schedule! Our pups are looking forward to seeing you again!”

About: Though I’ve lived with cats most of my life, I have been surrounded by dogs too. I am an outdoor educator, specifically teaching on farms and in gardens. So I am always crossing paths with dogs! I just graduated from Appalachian State University with a degree in Sustainable Agriculture. I have completed various internships, jobs, and other projects surrounded by animals, big and small! I understand that every animal is different and therefore requires their own routine, habits, and possible medications. I am absolutely willing to alter my schedule with your pet/pets needs!! I am quick to adapt to different environments and routines that your pet is used to/requires. I value honesty and detailed descriptions of the pet care your pet will need and I am fully prepared to meet those needs!

“Amy was a fantastic sitter for our 3 cats! She she stayed in touch every day and sent photos after every visit. When I got home, they seemed disappointed not to see her. I will definitely be having Amy come back when I go out of town again!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family for years whether in their house or at my own. I have a golden retriever of my own who is basically my child so I know the care per owners want for their fur babes or cats. Here to provide top notch walks or check-ins to make sure they are happy and healthy. I am currently home full time and can assist with needs on a day to day basis for your pet or whatever routine you may need. Walks will be whatever routes you approve or areas. Meals or treats can be given and bathroom breaks before and after meals. Wipe down of paws can be administered after rainy/muddy days.

About: I grew up taking care of our family dogs as well as having my own dogs as an adult. Sadly, my pup passed away earlier this year and while I am not ready to get another dog of my own, I am excited to help care for yours and give you peace of mind while you are away. I have had little and big dogs in my life and am open to all sizes. Your dog does need to get along well with children as my kids love to play with dogs. They are also used to having a senior dog around as our dog aged so they also know when to give a dog space and be gentle. I work from home most days and your dog will have free rain of our house. I work from home most days so will be around to take your dog for walks as they need them. Your dog will have free rain of our house and we have a nice back outside area to walk or run around in. We also have a beautiful nature trail right behind our neighborhood. I love to spend time playing or just chilling and petting/loving on your dog. I love walks outside and if your dog likes to play with kids we have 5 of them that love dogs. They are also used to senior dogs so know how to be gentle. We do have stairs so your dog needs to be comfortable on stairs or small enough to carry. I will follow whatever your food/med/walk routines are.

About: I’ve had my Rottweiler, Robby, since 2018 and he’s been my best friend ever since. He’s big boy at 90lbs so I’ve had a lot of experience with larger breeds like him as well as smaller breeds because of my girlfriend’s Bischon Poodle. I feel like dogs truly deserve all the love in the world so I've been working at the Montgomery Country Animal Shelter walking dogs and doing overnight stays with them for the last 5 years. I even helped get a dog named Mercy adopted last year and that was one of my proudest moments. I am currently a full-time employee working at L3Harris. My hours are 8am to 5pm on weekdays but I also get every other Friday off. With your permission, I'd love to take your dog on a walk on trails in the Blacksburg area like the Huckleberry Trail. I love dogs of all sizes, but pitbulls have a special place in my heart.

About: I have been house sitting for 25 years along with house cleaning. Since I have retired from cleaning houses I now have more time to house sit. I have always loved animals and they love me dearly. All the dogs and cats are always so loving and I love to spend that with them. I follow the instructions of the owner. I make sure that your fur babies take the medicine required and eat when they are suppose to. I also take the dogs for walk unless you just let them out back in the fenced back yard.

About: Throughout my experience caring for animals, I’ve been responsible for a variety of daily pet-care needs, including feeding and providing fresh water, cleaning food and water bowls, maintaining clean living areas, giving pets attention and companionship, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. For cats and dogs, I’m comfortable with playtime, walks, bathroom breaks, litter box cleaning, and keeping them on their normal routines. For smaller pets like hamsters, I can provide food, fresh water, and habitat cleaning. I also have experience caring for fish, including feeding and maintaining a clean environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and routine so I can recognize when something seems unusual. I’m also happy to follow specific instructions from owners to make sure their pets receive consistent care while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m comfortable working around a pets established routine and making sure they receive consistent meals, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and attention. In a clients home, I’ll treat their space with the same respect I would want for my own. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and keep their environment clean and safe. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is doing well while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I have cared for large dogs, such as Labs and Pit Bulls, as well as smaller breeds like Pomeranians, Pugs, and mixed breeds. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets with special dietary needs or medications. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and am currently studying online, which allows me to work from almost anywhere. I love going on walks, especially after a meal, and having a furry companion makes them even better! My flexible lifestyle allows me to make time for your pet’s needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I love being able to incorporate pet care into my day while making sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for. I provide pet care in the comfort of your own home, whether through drop-in visits, dog walking, or other care your pet may need. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My family has always taught me to leave a place better than I found it, and I carry that value with me in everything I do. I will treat your home and belongings with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. I also understand that I’m not just caring for a pet; I’m caring for a beloved member of your family. I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, attentive hands and is being looked after in the familiar environment you’ve trusted me with. My goal is to maintain your pet’s routine, respect your home, and make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away.

About: I have five years of dog-sitting experience. I have worked with dogs of all sizes with different medical and dietary needs. I am also a dog walker for dogs up to 100 pounds. In my home, I have been responsible for bathing, grooming, and caring for my personal pets for over 13 years. I work part-time in the mornings, so I have plenty of time in the afternoon and evenings to walk and watch your pets. I am also available on weekends for whenever you need a weekend getaway! I will keep constant attention on your pet and follow your specific instructions on your pets needs regarding feeding, diet, medication, exercise, behavior, and training.

“Megan watched my two mature cats for five days, and I couldn't have gotten a better person! She followed all instructions, including giving my male his daily insulin shot. She loved on them as if they were her babies. I was given updates at each visit and adorable pictures. If you need her to take care of your fur babies, know that she will be a great sitter. I only wish she weren't leaving our local area next month.”

About: I’ve always been involved with caring for animals in some way. I’ve personally had my own cats, dogs, and other small animals as well as experience on a farm. I’m happy to stop by and make sure your animals are cared for just as well as if they were my own! I’ve gone through every season of pet care from potty and leash training, to round-the-clock medication schedules for aging pets and pretty much everything in between. I stay at home full time with my kids, so can be flexible to your weekday schedule. While you’re at work I can make sure your pet gets their walks throughout the day, bathroom breaks, and timely medications, etc. I am respectful of my clients’ homes and ensure I follow home and pet care instructions carefully. Special instructions for individual pets needs are very helpful, so I can make sure your pet gets exactly what they are accustomed to.

“Amazing and paid very close attention to detail great person to trust with your home and pet 10stars”

“Víctor is the best! My doggies love him and enjoy his company. He’s very reliable, kind, knowledgeable and we feel very comfortable with him because we know our babies are in great hands. I highly recommend him.”

About: I have 2 dogs: Mina (8 year old Wheaten Terrier) and Halle (6 year old Boxer). I've had them both as puppies so I know what it's like to take care of dogs during those rough first few months. Halle also developed some anxiety so I have experience in dealing with leash reactive dogs and training them. I love all dogs and have taken care of friends' pets occasionally. I'm currently working on a hybrid schedule, so some days I work remote and am pretty flexible. On remote days, I'm able to work anywhere with wifi and can take care of dogs at the same time. My hours are also flexible so I am able to help almost any time and can take frequent breaks to walk or play with the dogs. I would ask lots of questions to make sure I know everything about when I can crate dogs, or if they can go to parks or dog parks.

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs from a young age. I have experience with pitbulls, chihuahuas, sharpei's, st. bernard's, weiner dogs, cane corso's, bulldogs, and golden retrievers. Growing up i had 4 dogs and fostered many more! I'm a 19 year old college student taking summer classes online and looking for some part time work. I do not have any other job and all my classes are online so i basically have availability whenever! Whatever routine you have set for your pet works perfectly fine for me! I was a nanny for a few years so i can keep a good eye on your pet if need be haha

About: After proudly serving in the military, I decided it was time for a change. Changing careers has opened up my schedule, giving me the opportunity to fill my time with activities I truly enjoy—especially spending quality time with the purest type of love you can get from your fur babies. I have a natural instinct to be protective. Your fur babies will be in good hands with me. I’m comfortable staying calm and stepping in when situations become stressful, including separating dogs if a conflict occurs. I also have some background experience in law enforcement. The reason I mention this is because, with me, you’re not only getting a dog sitter—you’re also getting someone you can trust to look after your home while you’re away. Safety is always my number one priority to those around me. As you look through my photos, you’ll notice several dogs I’ve known and cared for since they were puppies. I’ve taken care of dogs belonging to family, friends, and coworkers over the years. This is simply my first time offering those services through an app. I’d be more than happy to share stories about some of my favorite four-legged friends if you’d like to continue the conversation. They all hold a special place in my heart, and I genuinely loved spending time with them. The Siberian Husky in the photos is my sweet fur baby, Niko. It has been a couple of years since his passing, but he will always have a special place in my heart. Niko was a very loving and gentle Husky. He got along with everyone, loved wrestling with other dogs at the dog park, and enjoyed going on long walks. He was also by my side through some of the hardest times in my life. I’m not quite ready to take on the full responsibility of owning another dog, but I would absolutely love the opportunity to build a special bond with your fur baby. I hope to give them the same love, attention, and companionship I gave Niko. Working a full time job. I can possibly do Thursday evenings. I have some Fridays off/get off early from work. I’m off Saturdays and Sundays. I can be even more flexible, depending on location. I have had dogs stay with me in the past, but I am currently renting and unable to provide that service as of now. I’m available to provide love and care to your fur baby in your home, if you’d like.

“Thanks for helping with Poofy and all the great communication to coordinate it.”
