“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.

“Jen—thank u for your great care of George while we were on our trip. Your playing with him, feeding him, and cleaning up behind him—we appreciate it all. We’d love to have u back next time we leave town!”


“I traveled for a full week and needed someone I could trust to take care of Cat. I've booked Emily before and she is attentive, communicative, and overall a great sitter. Highly recommend!!!”


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.”


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.

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.
