18. Sydney R.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs all my life, since dogs have always been part of my family. Right now, I have a 12 year old Labrador (Teddy) and a 3 year old Labrador (Willow), so I have experience with all ages! I am starting my senior year of college at the University of Virginia and am happy to help around my class schedule & on short notice! My dogs are trained to not leave our yard’s perimeter, but before they were trained I would take them out on leash. As puppies, they spent time in crates but now they longer use them.
19. Tammy N.
About: I love pets and I love walking! Combing the two is perfect for me! I also know that every pet is different and unique and all have their own needs. But I am known to be patient and willing to try new things! I do have an 8am to 5pm work schedule, but I always have energy and time afterwards to walk some pups or even to just hang out with pets! I always sent cute pictures to my clients and let them know immediately if anything is strange. I also have a dog cover/hammock in my car if we ever need to travel to a nearby park.
20. Caroline H.
“Caroline was a great sitter! She took great care of our dog while we were at our wedding. She gave us peace of mind about our pup when we had a million other things going on! We would certainly use her services again.”
