House Sitting in Crimora

“Tiffanie was great. Even though last minute, she came to meet the dogs before her stay. She took great care of them, sent lots of pictures, was very communicative-commenting on each dog’s personality so you know that she’s spending time with them, and left our house in perfect condition.”

“This was our second time having Micheal pet sit and house sit our 3 dogs and cat. Micheal took great care of our dogs and went above our expectations caring for our elderly cat.”

Kelly S.

“So fortunate to have met Sylvia! She has such a tender heart for kitties and I’ve been so at ease knowing she’s been taking care of my home and Kitty💕”

“Mary is simply the best! Our pups love her and so do we. She sends great photos, communicates promptly, and always goes above and beyond during her housesitting stays. Mary knows how to strike that perfect balance of giving you peace of mind while still ensuring you enjoy your time away. We’re so grateful to have her in our lives.”

“Pam was a great dog sitter! She saved us! At the last minute, a Rover sitter canceled and I contacted Pam and she immediately came over and agreed to watch the dogs. I knew they were in good hands when I met her. She is kind and sent pictures while we were away. Pam we really appreciate you!”

About: i have hands on experience caring for my own animals, i have 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 bunny and 2 snakes i love very much, Im responsible for feeding, cleaning and making sure all animals are safe and well cared for! I have flexible availability and can provide pet care durning the daytime most of the week and will give a 3 day notice if something comes up! i always make sure pets are safe and cared for by following instructions closely, i am reliable and respectful of your home and will keep you updated, i will only do care at clients homes and won’t do boarding at my home due to my grandad :(

About: I’ve had experience with many types of animals since I could remember, which could be around 13-14 years. Our family is very animal oriented and it has been for a few generations. My great grandma raised, trained, and did dog shows with many different types of dogs. My grandma has always had animals as well as my mom. This ranges between birds, bunnies/rabbits, snakes, lizards/bearded dragons, birds, dogs, and cats. We almost like them more than people :) Pet care fits into my daily routine including every other weekend for my California king snake and bugs every other day with daily greens/fruits for the bearded dragon. 3 meals a day for the dogs, clean water for all animals, and the cats free feed expect some wet food. I can care for your pets in different ways including, of course, breakfast lunch or dinner, potty time outside on leash or back/front yard, and attention. I can also offer baths, and medication to certain animals if needed.

About: I absolutely love animals and have had them through out my entire life. I have experience from working at “Dogtopia” to “Home away from home, dog boarding”. I understand the importance of family and would love to be your dogs next best friend! I have experience providing care for a variety of animals, including feeding, grooming, and monitoring health. I am familiar with cleaning and sanitizing animal housing and equipment, and can recognize signs of illness or distress. By feeding, walks, and playtime—with my personal habits like breakfast, exercise, and evening relaxation it helps to create a consistent, healthy routine. My successful routine with my 12 year old senior terrier includes early morning engagement to set a positive tone, scheduled midday breaks or mental stimulation to combat boredom, and structured evening bonding that eases stress. I have a 12 year old friendly Emotional support animal named Flower, who still loves to run and play. I also live close to the park, and have a crate if needed.

About: I am currently a college student studying zoo and wildlife biology, and I hope to have a career in either wildlife rehabilitation or working at a zoo. I have a good amount of experience with animals; I have been around animals my whole life, my grandfather was a veterinarian, and I have been pet sitting since high school. I also worked as a kennel attendant at Augusta Valley Animal Hospital. I currently volunteer at the Humane Society and have at the SPCA as well, walking dogs and performing other tasks. I am hoping to do some pet care over the summer to earn some money and get some more experience. I will be doing an internship 3 times a week, so I am only available 4 days a week. I live a little bit out in the country, so we have some land and a private and safe road for walks. There is very little traffic, so it is a peaceful area. I have not yet hosted a client's pet in my home, but I have a lot of experience and can follow detailed instructions for your pet to provide them with the best care.

“Annalise took such great care of my pups. Let me be clear - there were four prep meetings leading up to her actual stay because of how challenging/anxiety-ridden my dogs can be. She has been patient, understanding, and willing to work with them where they are at. Throughout my five-day trip, I received ample photos and videos which I loved. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were getting tons of snuggles, their meals on time, and lots of outside time. All in all, I came home to happy pups and I'm so grateful. I've already booked with Annalise again! Highly recommend!”

About: I've had pets since I was a baby. My uncle appointed me as his personal pet sitter when I was 13. I have taken care of a large variety of animals. Currently, I have two dogs, two cats, a snake, and a tortoise. One of my dogs 13, so I also have a lot of experience working with senior pets. The other dog is 1, so I have experience with puppies. I also had a very sickly cat, so I have had experience with dealing with health issues. I am currently working two part time jobs at a UVA clinic and at Augusta Health. I leave the house to go to work around 7:30 am, so I have time in the morning to check in on pets. I get off around 5pm and I am off on most weekends, so I have all evening and weekends to spend with and care for your pets! I love spending time and getting to know the pets personalities. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while staying in their own familiar environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and house rules. I always keep a clean and calm environment, monitor pets carefully during walks and outdoor time, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“Hannnah was awesome - she made sure to keep us updated and shared lots of photos of our pups while we were away. Took good care of our home, would absolutely recommend!”

Well-versed in pets and having to interact with them and give them love that they need whether it’s an hour day or all day and overnight. Currently doing this as a side gig, i work nights so i will reply as soon as im awake (generally sleeping 6am to 2pm) but I would like to do it full-time. Available any day but i need notice to ensure it works with my work schedule. Currently in an apartment doesn’t allow pets, but I have a vehicle and I am able to transport your pets to a park or go to your house and give them love

“Ross did an amazing job taking care of Conan! This was my first time leaving my furbaby, and Ross put my mind at ease during our meet and greet. He came to my house and spent the week, including nights, so that Conan could be in his home and feel safe and secure. Conan took to him from the start, and from the pictures that Ross sent he was happy and content. I got daily updates on how he was doing including some hilarious shenanigans that Conan decided to pull. I would book Ross again. !”

About: I have loved animals ever since i was a little girl. I took care of my childhood cat for thirteen years, which unfortunately passed away last year. We've had a family dog named Miley for about seven years, which also i've sitting for when my parents was away. My sister has a cat named Expo, who is the most adorable and sweetest thing ever. i'm currently working part-time. so i'll have plenty of time for your doggies or kitties to get some attention! I'm currently only available Mondays through Thursdays! When i'm sitting any animal i make sure they get enough food and water. When dogs specifically have a lot of energy they can go outside as long as the owner have a fenced in yard to make sure they get their energy out and have a really good sleep later in the day.

“She was great! She came over earlier in the week to learn everything about our fur babies. She came over several times day to let out our dog. She sent us pictures and updates often throughout the day. She even checked in to see when we would be heading home to see if she needed to come one more time. She also respected our wishes of wearing a mask in the house. We highly recommend her and will be using her in the future!”

About: I am currently a full time nanny, who enjoys being outside and being very active in my free time. I have a HUGE love for animals, and always have. I’m a caregiver and lover at heart. I understand that pets are part of the family and promise to provide your pet with the same love and care that you and your family do. No request is too much. I am available to house sit in your home, and able to take your dog on long walks. I love spending time outside, running, hiking, and enjoying nature and would love to do these things with your pet along side me. I have a lot of past experience with dogs and cats! Thank you for your interest

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my whole life and a few cats along the way. I currently have my own dog who lives with me at college — I’ve raised him since he was a puppy, so I’m confident with everything from walks and playtime to basic training and daily care. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away! I’m currently on summer break from college and only working part-time at a grocery store, so my schedule is very open and flexible! Since I’m not getting many hours at work right now, I’m available most days and can easily fit pet care into my routine. I’d love to spend more of my time caring for animals this summer! I provide care in my clients’ homes to make sure pets feel comfortable in their own space. I’m happy to follow any routines or instructions you leave to keep things consistent and stress-free for your pet. I don’t offer care in my own home since my dog is a bit skittish around other animals, but I’ll treat your home and pet with the same respect and care as I would my own!

“Carleigh saved the day and was able to help on a last minute stay. She was prompt, polite, communicative and left the house in great shape. Most importantly our pets were safe and happy. I'll definitely use her again!”

About: I have experience caring for my own dog and cats and understand how important routine, safety, and attention are. I’m especially comfortable with small dogs and pets that may need a little extra patience or reassurance. I’m very detail-oriented, follow instructions closely, and adjust to each pet’s personality. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel comfortable and cared for. I work mostly from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide care throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, and I can adjust my routine as needed to fit your pet’s schedule. Because I’m home-based, I’m also able to give pets consistent attention and not leave them alone for long periods. I’m reliable, responsive, and make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I focus on keeping pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, potty breaks, and any specific needs. For walks, I prioritize safety with secure leashing and awareness of surroundings, and I adjust based on each dog’s energy level and comfort. I also make sure pets get attention and care during each visit, and I provide updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing.
