Pet Sitting in Dabney Estates

“My cat Elsa loved Christine so much! She opened up to her fast, and let her pet her. Christine was nice enough to also take in mail while I was gone on vacation. I really appreciate her for all the hard work she did! I recommend her heavily ♡”

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals! I had plenty as a kid and was always helping family members with them. I take pride in training puppies and young dogs, even though I’m not a professional trainer, I know a few tricks! Pet care is what I do full time, I’m always available and I feel like they can use all the attention and loves when their parents aren’t home! I have a daughter who enjoys being with the fur babies as much as I do! I make sure I am easy going and trusting when approaching a pup that has never met me. They’re just like us! I am a very loving and nurturing person, I plan to be someone your fur babies look forward to seeing!

About: I have a current access card for the base. I have lots of experience with all breeds of dogs from a young age. I was involved in a local 4-H program starting in grade school, and am a current Berner mama. Puppies are also not a problem! I am currently staying home with my kids, and working remotely online, so my schedule is quite open. I am available consistently throughout the week. I prioritize your pet's safety and comfort by ensuring a secure environment, following all care instructions, and keeping a watchful eye during visits. Your pet's happiness and well-being come first.

“Brandie did an outstanding job caring for my mother cat, three kittens, and an older kitten. She went above and beyond when the weather turned cold and rainy, bringing extra blankets to ensure they were comfortable. She even came by to check on them during heavy rain, quickly discerned the cats' personalities, and was excellent at communicating. I highly recommend Brandie for her thoughtful and exceptional care, and I will certainly be booking with her again!”

“Emily was fantastic! We met prior to the assignment, so she could meet our cats, learn their habits, and where everything was stored. She was prompt in arriving to check on our cats, socialized with them, and followed our instructions on our cat that had dietary restrictions. She also took pictures at each visit! Well worth the extra money!”

About: I have had dogs since I can remember! I haven’t had my own dog for 5 years now, but have watched many of my friends animals! I love training them, taking care and watching them. I have watched many dogs with multiple different personalities! I am super active so I love to play with them and take them on walks or to parks. Whatever the dogs needs are, I am open to learning and helping out the best way I can! I am currently job hunting and just finished school, so my schedule is super available and I am very flexible! Whatever your needs are I can work around that! Depending on the needs of your dog and the owner, I am super adaptable based off your wishes. It is a priority to me that the treatment and training of your dog is what you are comfortable with!

“This was our first time using Bethany for a drop in visit with our Frenchie, Stella. She was so easy to work with, and Stella loved her. She had very appropriate questions and made us feel very comfortable leaving our baby with her. This was kind of like a Test visit in preparation for numerous upcoming visits. We will certainly be using Bethany for our future needs with Stella.”

“Brooklynn was amazing with my babies! Lots of play time and pictures. She was very communicative with me and gave them lots of loving. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m MacKenzie, your pet’s new best friend and part-time squirrel scout. While I might not have a fancy pet-sitting degree, I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, and my own dog (a.k.a. my four-legged child) has taught me plenty—especially about basic training, reactivity, and the art of treating every leaf like it’s a masterpiece. I’m also a pro at giving meds and following care instructions to a T, so your pet’s routine won’t miss a beat. Plus, as an avid hiker, I’m more than happy to take active pups on day hikes for a little extra adventure! I get that every walk is a big deal, every squirrel is a personal nemesis, and if there’s a cat involved, they’re probably running the household. And yes, I’m here for my own steps too, because walking is my therapy! I'm currently in between full-time jobs, so I have ample flexibility for pet care throughout the week—perfect for midday walks, medication administration, or just dropping by to say “hello”! If your pet lives more than 30 minutes from Petersburg, they should be comfortable being home alone for up to 8 hours once I return to full-time work. For now, my schedule is wide open, especially on weekends! Routine is important to me, and it’s no doubt important to your pets! My primary goal is always to limit the amount of change, so feeding and potty break times will be strictly adhered to. If there’s valuable training you’ve worked hard to implement, it won’t go to waste! Don’t be shy about letting me know exactly which cues and commands to use, and any other little personality quirks I should know about.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I currently have a working dog of my own. I’ve had a long journey when coming to training her. I take care of my pet everyday with love, training and time out exploring the world. We’re constantly trying something new everyday with new people and animals. I will make sure the environment is safe and secure. I always double check when it comes to the safety of others. I will accommodate where needed.

Whether we’re playing in the yard, taking a break on the porch, or just hanging out while I cook or work on the computer, your dog will be part of the family. We can’t wait to welcome your furry friend! 🐕❤️ Welcome! My husband and I are passionate dog lovers who will care for your furry friend just like we do our own.

About: Ive been around dogs and cats my entire life, as well as pet sitting for family and friends. From small and big, to old and young, even the silly or shy. My empathy for animals will make sure your pet is comfortable while their mom or dad is away, because our pets are our family!! I am currently in school full time and looking for a part time job. But as of currently i’m 100% free to take care of your furry friends! Whether in my home or a client's, I always prioritize a pet’s safety. I do a walk-through of the space to remove hazards, secure doors and gates, and ensure all supplies (like food, meds, leashes) are stored safely and used correctly. I also follow all feeding and medication instructions carefully and never leave pets unsupervised in risky situations. Trust starts with clear communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and quirks. I offer regular updates, photos, and check-ins so pet parents feel connected and confident. I treat every pet like family, earning their trust with patience, calm energy, and lots of affection. At my home, I maintain a quiet, pet-friendly space with comfy bedding, clean bowls, and plenty of playtime and cuddles. In clients' homes, I respect their routines and try to keep everything consistent to reduce stress. I bring a calm, warm presence so pets feel secure and relaxed—whether they’re in their own space or mine.

About: I have taken care of dogs the most since childhood. Including puppies and female dogs in heat. Also I have an old man cat currently. I currently have my own business where I make my own schedule (but do travel) therefore I am pretty flexible at times with my availability. I will gladly walk your dog as much as they need and give them all the attention they require like they are my own pets.

About: I have groomed a dog before. I have bottle fed kittens in my vet program. I have been dealing with dogs and cats almost all my life. I do work during the week on some days, but I am very flexible with my schedule. I don’t work on weekends, so that is very available. At my home, I have two dogs and they are well cared for. They have a nice, big fenced back yard and they get play time a lot, so that they can stay active.

“Kelsey is an awesome pet sitter! She had great communication and shared lots of pictures of my cats while I was away for the weekend. I came home to 2 happy cats and have already booked Kelsey to help me again!”

About: I have been around pets all my life but didn't have my own dog up until 3 years ago. It has been an amazing experience learning how smart and how much personality a dog can have. You can say that properly training my dog has been one of the most rewarding things I have done. Im currently studying on my own for a certification which makes my availability extremely flexible. I can meet most of my clients scheduling needs or we can discuss what works best! I recently just moved to Virginia and haven't brought over my Nala, but we own a home and have a great backyard with a fence where your pupper can enjoy themselves. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible with the care of your pet because i know how hard it can be being away from them. I can meet any of your pets activities needs as well administer any medication necessary. Im patient and understanding and my goal is gain yours and your pets trust. Thank you for your time and i cant wait to meet you all soon!

“Max was great! He was always on time, sent great pictures of my pup and left my house nice and clean. I was very comfortable using Max and knew my dog was in good hands.”
