About: I’m a current veterinary student who has cared for animals all throughout my life. I have trained puppies and live an active lifestyle, so no matter the activity level of the dog, I can handle it! I have plenty of time during the week at the moment, as I am waiting to start my job as a veterinarian once I get my license! The safety of any pet is a top priority for me, especially because that is essentially going to be my career! I am capable of keeping any pet on leash.

About: Caring for animals is my true passion and calling. I’ve been a lifelong pet owner and sitter since I was twelve, driven by my deep love for animals. I treat every pet like family, focusing on building trust and strong bonds. With extensive hospitality experience, I provide top-notch, reliable service for both you and your pets. I genuinely love the work I do—spending quality time with animals always brings me joy! Im able to provide ample availability, flexibility, and full-time care for your pets. Your convenience and your pet's well-being are my top priorities. Xxx xxx My pet-sitting approach is based on reliability, communication, and attention to detail, focusing on a few key factors: no escaping and no foreign bodies. I always double-check points of exit, and if a toy raises any concerns, I’ll put it out of reach. I'm here to ensure your pet's experience is safe and enjoyable. If you need a caring and dedicated pet sitter, feel free to reach out, and let’s talk about how I can assist you and your pets.

About: I have worked at a humane society shelter as a volunteer for years in Michigan. I have fostered animals as well as helped dogs and cats give birth. I have experience with pet sitting and taking care of pets. I believe pets are our children. I have open flexibility and can give many references on how trust worthy i am as i owned a cleaning business here in nrv for 10 plus years licensed and insured. While at a clients home I will make sure the home stays cleaned up from the pet and goes on its normal scheduled walks and or care. While the pet is at my home it will have its own personal area that is kept well and it won't interact with our cats. Walks and playtime will be included.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, my family had some growing up and once I moved out I got 2 of my own. I’ve also watched many neighbors and friends dogs since i was young and feel more than comfortable taking them out, administering medicine, and loving on them! Fur babies are family and should be treated as such! And that’s exactly the kind of care I would show your fur baby. Dogs are creatures of habit, so it’s important for me to know what your routine looks like so I can try my best to keep it the same. It will be as if you’re not even gone! I work from home so my days are extremely flexible. Aside from occasional meetings and needing to administer my own dog his medication three times a day (6am, 2pm and 10pm) I have an open schedule to check in on your baby. If you were to bring your dog to me, they would be in a spacious little townhome with an open yard. All I ask is that your dog is friendly with other dogs, as I have 2 at home that would be there with us. One is a staffordshire terrier/husky mix, and the other is a border collie. They all would get plenty of walks and playtime together. If I were to drop in at your home, I would take whatever care necessary! What that looks like is up to you. Taking your dog on a walk, administering medicine, playing with them, whatever you and your pet need!

About: I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for friends’ pets over the years, including dog walking and house sitting for both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with different routines and always aim to make pets feel safe, loved, and at ease in their homes. I’m currently a student at Virginia Tech with one in-person class with the rest being online, leaving my days and afternoons open for pet sitting and dog walking. Since it is currently Summer, I will have mornings open as well. My main goal with any pet is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have four indoor cats of my own who are totally spoiled! I respect their boundaries, give them space when they need it, and shower them with attention when they want it. I bring this same kind of care to every pet I look after, whether in my own home or yours. I know how important it is to treat animals like the unique personalities they are.

“Our dog Kai loved her walk with Lea, and I appreciated that she was on time and reliable. I won't hesitate to book with her again.”


“Camille is amazing with my dog Knox! He’s a little rambunctious and can take a minute to warm up but she did a great job taking care of him on his walks. Also great at sending updates and pictures!”


About: As a veterinary student and proud pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals for years — both personally and professionally — and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or special care, I’ve got you covered! My school schedule varies week to week, but I typically have ample time in my routine to attend to my clients’ pets and my own pets. I’m happy to follow whatever routine you and your pets have! Feel free to voice your requests and I will make sure to accommodate your pets’ needs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of different breeds and sizes since I was 17. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and administer medications to their pets. I will ensure that the pet keeps their routine to the best of my ability if applicable. I always try to ensure the pet gets a walk at least once a day when I am watching them. I consider myself to be very patient and creative when working with pets. I work full-time but would be able to make home visits before work and any time after work. If your pet needs more visits during the day we can discuss our options. To ensure safety on walks I am very responsible to make sure your fur baby is leashed up before exiting the home or fenced area for walks around the neighborhood. When in a clients home I will ensure your fur babies safety by leashing up your dog in the home before going on walks and following your guidelines as requested. If any questions come up I will be calling or texting to ensure all requests are met in an appropriate manner.

About: I have plenty of pet care experience from my own pets and taking care of other pets as well. My experience ranges from dogs all the way to fish so I can take it all.

“I have known Nancye for more than ten years, during this time I saw how she took care of her own pet Cinder she spared no expense in the care she needed and she showed her so much love and kindness she treated her just like she was a real child. Nancye just lost her recently and she was devastated, Nancye looks after the neighbors pets, taking them treats and making sure they have food and clean water when their owners do not really pay that much attention to the animals. I don't think you could ask for anyone better to leave your pet with, she truly is an animal lover and an extrodinary caring person.”
