About: I've had a small dog for 8 years and have pet/house sat for multiple people on many different occasions. Trust is very important to me, I wouldn't let my dog be with someone I don't trust so I hope to build a trust worthy relationship so you're able to trust me with yours. I attend college pretty much fully time during the fall and the spring but, I'm flexible with finding times to study and to take care of your precious animal/s when they're of need. Although I don't have a fenced yard area, I do take my dog on multiple walks during the days and week, and she is played with as much as possible when we aren't snuggling and giving her treats.
“Riley was amazing! Helped me out on relatively short notice for a few days while I had to be away at work, she took great care of my two sweet, energetic girls and followed all of my instructions and even came over to meet the dogs and get acquainted beforehand! Would highly recommend!”

About: I live in Richmond , VA and I am a freelance writer who loves caring and playing with dogs of any breed or size. I grew up caring for rescue animals, and now I have rescue babies of my own. Harper is a German Shepherd /Sheltie mix. And I have 3 cats Zelda, Banksy, and Swayze. While in my care, your babies will be well cared for and will have plenty of fun and exercise with walks and playtimes. I work from home so my time is flexible to check-in and give your pups plenty of love, walks and play time whenever they need it. I treat your fur babies exactly as I do my own so they will be extremely well-cared for with plenty of attention, cuddles, and anything that they need from me.
“Literally the best ever. Walked him on the best holiday of the year (Halloween) on super short notice and still had an excited attitude toward walking my gremlin of a dog.”

“Absolutely amazing experience. Work and day to day has been made so much more enjoyable and I have so much appreciation for the patience my pup is experiencing. I will be a regular for quite some time. Thank you again Phyllis!”

About: I love being an auntie to actual kids and fur-kids! Happy to pop in to visit and take your doggo for a walk. Most of my experience comes from medium to small dogs. My current schedule has flexibility in the mornings on week days and Mondays and Fridays. It’s subject to change but let me know what works for you! If I’m coming to your home, I’ll treat it with care and as a guest - with respect and attention to what your pet needs.
About: I’ve cared for all types of dogs and cats since I was 14. I briefly worked as a veterinary assistant in high school and can administer multiple forms of medication. Let me know how I can make your pet feel at home when you’re not. ❤️ I work full-time remotely and I am usually available on weekends. I am available to stop in during the day as my schedule is flexible! I live in a house with a rescued 8 year old male cat named Gimlet. He’s very gentle and gets along with almost everyone. I have an unfenced yard, but it is private in a small neighborhood with little traffic.
About: I've never not had animals in my life! I spent my early years on a working farm and have always had a way with animals. Dogs love me (cats, too!) and I them ❤️ I have many years of experience in the veterinary field and know what to do in emergencies. I am currently working part time and my schedule is flexible. I do work away from home for 5-8 hours a day, split shift. I have dogs amd cats but can keep them separate, if necessary. My dogs are dog friendly, although my beagle mix is very bossy (typical!) Dogs will be in the house with my dogs, but they can be separated, if needed. I can crate, if the parents supply the crate. Dogs will be leash walked in the wide front yard but we can also go across the street to the dog park, too!
About: Hi there! My name is Gaby and my partner’s name is Sawyer and if you’re looking for someone to love your baby(ies) and treat them like their own - you’ve found the right people! We have both grown up surrounded by pets our whole lives, are currently proud dog parents to two boys, and have yet to come across a pet we aren’t obsessed with. We know how stressful it can be to trust someone with your fur baby so we try to ease any concerns as best we can with constant communication including updates and pictures so you never feel like your pet is too far! 🥰 My partner and I have both taken care of dogs of all kinds, from senior dogs to raising 3+ litters - we’ve seen it all and we’re not worried about getting our paws dirty. Our background with dogs means we are both comfortable administering medication and caring for any special needs. We’ve dealt with gentle giants, high energy pups, cranky senior dogs, and more. On top of that, we have a fenced in backyard for our furry guests to roam around in! I work from home every day so I will be with your pet all day, keeping them constant company! Aside from having the fenced in backyard which they will have access to, we go on at least two walks a day, sometimes a third in the afternoon depending on the heat. I have a fenced in backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your furry friend company. We have separate floors and rooms so we have more than enough space for crates and to keep dogs separate if needed! We are big snugglers though!!
“Devinder has helped us a couple of times while we were on vacation. He is reliable and I feel that my doggies are well care for while I am away.”

“Tess took great care of my girl Luna, arriving right on time and with prompt communication along the way. I appreciated the pics and updates from their walks as well, it made me feel a lot better going out of town to know that she was well taken care of!”

About: I have cared for all types of animals since I was 10 years old. Those include dogs, cats, guinea pigs, horses, fish, rabbits, reptiles, etc. I currently work at a vet hospital as a veterinary assistant! Although I am a student, I always gave time to care for and love on my pets! I currently a pet bunny and his name is, Rex! I will respect any wishes that my client has for their pet(s) and I will treat them as if they were my own. My love for pets continues to grow!
“Sydney has been walking our two dogs for a couple of weeks now. They're big, high energy pups that clearly adore her visits. Her communication and reliability have been excellent.”
