About: I'm a second generation dog sitter who started young; at the age of 6, I was going with my mom to her many pet sitting gigs. Now, I'm an independent pet sitter who has a ton of free time to hang out with your furbabies! My professional sitting experience includes the past 7 years of dedicated service to clients in Chesterfield, as well as the surrounding area. (References available! :) ) I'm willing to travel up to 60-75 miles from my home here in Chesterfield, and I'm comfortable with any breed and size of dog, as well as cats, reptiles, and farm animals. I have experience administering medication, as well as handling special needs dogs. I'm usually available on short term notice, and can do late night and weekend visits. I SPECIALIZE IN FARM SITTING! :) Hope to hear from you soon! I work from home, so pet care fits into my routine really well. I’m not in meetings or anything all day, so my routine revolves around your pet’s schedule. :) I treat my clients’ homes with respect and care, just as I do my own home. I’ll clean up any messes your pet might make, as well as keep the home the way it was or better while you’re away.

“Izzy is a fantastic pet sitter! She has the kindest heart and takes the absolute best care of any pet in her keeping. She is super friendly, an excellent communicator, and willing to help out with any requests your pet may need. When I needed someone to look after my cat Ringo while I was out of town, I knew Izzy would give him just the type of care I was looking for! I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”

“First of all, I have seen Daniel take care of dogs and cats and it seems so natural how he plays and tends to them. Dogs love him and he loves them. What I really appreciate his the trust dogs seem to have with him and how comfortable he can be with them at their level. Especially with his past experience working with dogs, it's second nature.”

“Zach did an amazing job making accommodations for our dogs. First impression was excellent, he was very friendly and was even able to answer questions we were dealing with our dogs back home. Our dogs naturally gravitated towards him, and he immediately accepted them into his pack. When it was time for pick up after our weekend getaway, it was almost as if our dogs didn’t even realize we left. We will be using him going forward every time we travel! 10/10 recommend him your future boarding needs.”

“Great person who loves dogs! He always takes excellent care and pays attention to detail, he treats every dog just like his own! You never have to worry when your dogs are with him!”

“Kiara has helped us over the years with out pit bulls as well as our current dog which is a pit bull and mastiff mix who is not an easy dog. She won him over in no time! She respects our home and we call her first every time!”

About: I grew up surrounded by all sizes of dogs since I was 2. I have had 2 dogs of my own, a border collie and collie/poodle mix, as well as 1 cat! I love all animals and would love nothing more than to spend all my free time with them! I have a very flexible work schedule and am able to work from home a couple of days a week! I will have a lot of time to fit your needs into my schedule! I understand what it is like to let strangers into your home to take care of your pets and will do everything I can to make your and your friend feel comfortable. I love to take long walks, throw balls for hours, go for runs and spend time cuddling with tour furry friends. I would be happy to take care of your pet along or if you would like a friend to bring my dog along as well!

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Paige Farinholt for about 5 years. In that time, my two dogs have begun to think of her as part of our family. Paige never treats my two dogs (or her two dogs and cat!) with anything less than love and respect. I would be happy to have her pet sit or walk my dogs at any time! Paige dotes on her own two dogs, and had, and continues to have, an active hand in training them, making sure they are stimulated and cared for at all times. Paige is also responsible for caring for and training her horse, as well as participating in training other horses at the barn. Her love of animals goes well beyond just loving dogs and cats!”

“Hannah is such a pleasure to be around. She has such a soft sweet demeanor. She took great care of my dog. I was able to see her play with him and love on him. I was knew I was leaving him in the best care!”

“Britain is so passionate and enthusiastic about her care for our dog Zoe. She spent time with us to get to know Zoe's habits and quirks, and extra time with Zoe as a walker. We trust her and look forward to a long relationship!”

“I had the pleasure to meet Tina when she lived in PA couple years ago. She was our sitter. Both my dogs Rocco and Casey love her. She is a super sitter, such that every year on our way to Florida for vacation we drop them both at her place in VA. They love to spend time there with her. Neither of my dogs like to be in the kennel, but spending time at Tina’s provides them with special attention they require and the ability to exercise and run for a while each day. It’s like a vacation for them too! I have the peace of mind to know that they are well cared for and enjoy my vacation without concern. I can’t say enough of her dedication and professionalism. I highly recommend her!! Maria Alvarez Langhorne, PA”
