About: For 30 plus years I had my own dogs from Rottweilers to peekapoos. Always had two so they had a buddy. Well trained where I didn’t need a leash. I babysit my friends dogs here at the house. I’m auntie. They go home spoiled. I travel a lot so, when my dog passed away I did not get another one. I work from home. I am empty nester who just went through a divorce. They can hangout with me all day. Ability to leave on the weekend to come back as required. Full fenced in yard. Traditional metal fence. With only two neighbors who have no animals. Quite neighborhood with a place to walk them around ponds.

About: I have pets of my own and have been pet sitting for over four years. I would love the opportunity to come visit your dog during the day. From the tiniest little pup to the largest or oldest pup I love take care of them. I cant wait to meet your furry friends and take care of them like they are my own. I am currently working part time so some weekdays I will not be available until after 4. Most weekdays( when im not working)I will be available anytime during the day. I am available on weekends as well. I will always leash pets on walks and do my best to ensure their visits or walks are fun and safe for your fur babies.

About: I've had pets my whole life from the biggest of dogs to cutest of cats. I'm a very active mom, and fitness lover that could always use a furry partner. 🐕‍🦺🐈 I'm currently working mornings 7am-3pm, so anytime before 6 am or after 4pm drop off works best for me. I have a back yard as well as 1 lovely cat that usually doesnt mind other cats or dogs being around. My home is clean warm and inviting to all animals. Hooray! As a mom pet care fits into my schedule perfectly. My kids have a lot of fun with all animals that come to our home. I currently moved into a smaller place but my 6 year old son and a young wild & free 3 year old son, who can't get enough of the running he gets to do during my sits.

About: What sets me apart is my calm, low-stress home where I host max 2 compatible dogs at once. Perfect for anxious, selective, or reactive pups who need peace over chaos. I also offer solo-stay pricing for dogs who need to block my second spot. My experience shines with senior dogs (gentle mobility support, meds) and high-energy mediums (structured play without overwhelming them). I work from home so I'm very flexible. I'm available during the day for walks/drop-ins/daycare, evenings/weekends for boarding. Dogs are family here; my routine revolves around their comfort. I don’t have any pets of my own currently. I have a nice size fenced yard and I love taking pups on long walks in my neighborhood or at the local dog park if possible. You can also book my backyard on Sniffspot!

About: I have taken care of family and friends’s dogs before. I own a 9mo old male doberman and I’ve taken care of him since he was 2 months old. I potty trained him and we run over a mile every weekday when the weather allows. I used to take care of my mom’s senior schnauzer who used to have frequent seizures during his last year of life. I gave him his medicine and we used to walk twice a day. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with and to take care of your fur babies. I am mostly available during the weekends and weekdays after 5pm. I might also have some weekdays off, based on my week’s schedule. I have a male 1y/o Dobbie who is very friendly and playful. When in home I can take the dogs to the dog park. Typically, I take the dogs to the dog park 3 times a day. We play and cuddle together on the sofa.

Kayce communicated very well with me and took such good care of Tucker! She was prompt and on time with her visits and ensured to keep him busy the entire time she was there. I received many pictures that helped reassure me he was in great hands! We will definitely have Kayce come back in the future!

About: I’ve been in the veterinary field for 3 years and I’m going to school to be a technician! I love helping animals and their owners. I’m currently working full time but can come over during lunch breaks and play with your animals or even go for a walk or play fetch! I can stay at your house or do walks a few times and day as well as feeding and giving medication if needed. I like playing with animals and making sure they’re having as much fun as possible while you’re away!

About: Hi, my name is Arlyn. I am 27 years old. I am born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii and moved to Chester, Virginia back in 2011 but now living in Colonial Heights, VA. I'm a dog lover! I've owned 3 dogs previously and understand we want the best for them while we’re away. They are our fur babies after all right? I will make sure to give them lots of play time and walk time as well as sleep time. Making them feel at home and loved. Daily frequent walks are a must as well as play time. Even though you would be away, I wanna make sure they have a great time with me and help them feel less lonely. After all, mi casa es su casa (: Please remember to bring any dog bowls, food, leashes and any toys to make them feel at home and comfortable. In consideration, please bathe your furry one prior to house boarding or daycare. Thank you! Hope to see you soon! With current Covid regulations, I am permanently working from home so I am able to tend to your fur baby’s every need throughout the day. I have a 4 year old female pit bull & a 3 year old male bully that loves to play outside in our large fenced In back yard. They both have a crate that they can be in as well if your dog needs some separation. I can also crate your dog as well if needed.

Emily has done wonders with my mother's dog, a dog not familiar with walks. She is not only kind to Haley, but to my elderly mother too. It was definitely our good luck to have found her.

Hana is amazing! She’s so flexible and understanding when it comes to schedules and demands of each animal in the home. She truly cares about our animals (she will leave our tv on for our dog so she isn’t lonely) and does enrichment treats without us even asking her to. I trust her with our babies 100%

Jen was an outstanding dog sitter. She checked on our dog constantly and always messaged us. Her message about our pool water leak was invaluable! Felt at ease with her watching Winnie and would use her again!
