“Lucas has been great with our pup. He’s very attentive and has great communication. He checks in when he arrives and when he leaves, including lots of photos during his walk. Our dog, Oscar, is always worn out when we get home and you can tell he thoroughly enjoys his walks with Lucas!”

About: I've had pets my entire life and have been given more responsibilities with age. I have a dog a cat, and a horse that all need special care from ear infection treatments to prescription drugs. My family and I have also cared for many stray cats and even fostered one's six kittens. I’m currently a college student on summer break and I’m available during many periods in the day. These time periods are perfect for me to give your furry family members a walk, pets, and food! I am super enthusiastic about getting outside and love to go on long walks with my dog. I can also pop in to feed your furry friend and give them attention when you're away.

About: Hello! 🐶 I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, including dogs, cats, fish, and even a pet shrimp! I’m not shy around medications, multiple animals, or high energy pets. I have extensive experience loving senior pets and those with special needs. I’m a daytime and overnight dog and cat sitter with almost 20 years experience caring for animals! 🐱 I am a graduate student, dog and cat mom, and enjoy lots of hobbies like gardening, reading, sourdough baking, and biking. I would love to spend my extra time hanging out with your pets! I treat my clients’ pets and homes as I do my own. I understand how intimidating it is to trust a stranger with their schedules, medications, anxieties, and even your own home while you’re away. I’m comfortable asking for clarification when needed and communicating to make sure your pets have what they need.

“Great at covering distance on walks which our husky loves!!”

I am familiar with training and obedience so you can feel comfortable I will handle your dog responsibly and with care. I am a responsible worker and I can be flexible on dates and times for your dog’s walk. I can work weekdays or on the weekends. I take my dogs on daily walks and I know how to control and lead them effectively. I also love playing with them so they can get all of their energy out.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs multiple times for an about 4 years. I’m very understanding and don’t ever get mad or stressed with animals even if they don’t listen and I always have a good time spending time with animals. I have a part time job so my routine is pretty flexible. If you need a last minute sitter for a night or for a few hours let me know! I have a cat who is very sweet, his name is Berlin and he gets along and is very playful with animals even hamsters lol

About: Recently moved to RVA. I've taken care of cats all my life and dogs from time to time. From back when I was a teen at home with our family cat to ones of my own I've been caring for cats all my life. I have a deep understanding of cat body language, respecting their boundaries, and providing the attention and care they need. I work from home as a software developer and am looking for something to break up my day between calls and project tasks. Being a remote worker means I don't get much excitement day to day. Let me change up my day to day by helping you out with your pets! I live in my own home with plenty of space for walks, trails nearby for exploring, and an open and clean home for time away from the sun.

About: Your dog becomes part of the family the moment they arrive 🐾💛 I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment where every dog is cared for like my own. With over 4 years of hands on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, you can feel confident your dog is in capable and knowledgeable hands. As a certified dog trainer, I go beyond basic boarding by providing structure, guidance, and consistency throughout their stay. Whether it’s reinforcing commands, practicing leash manners, or simply maintaining a calm routine, your dog is always learning and thriving ✨🐶 I also have three personal dogs of my own ranging from 1 to 8 years old, so I truly understand the different needs, energy levels, and personalities that come with every stage of life 🐕🐕‍🦺🐾 My goal is to give your dog a comfortable, enriching, and stress free stay while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I’m a stay-at-home mom and a part-time dog trainer who works out of my own home. I’m already home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and consistent care without long periods alone. My training background also means I understand dog behavior, routines, and safety, so your pet gets both loving care and structured supervision in a calm, home-based environment. When pets stay in my home, they become part of my daily routine and are treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, and time to relax. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule and any special instructions closely, including medications if needed. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give them lots of attention, affection, and structure, while using my dog training experience to reinforce good behavior and keep interactions positive and safe.

“Janie made me feel at ease while on my vacation. She walked and played fetch with my dogs. I have two very large German shepherds (very friendly) and she was not intimidated and handled them like a pro. She also checked in on my other animals even though she didn't have too.”

About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I love all breeds. I enjoy getting dogs to play and do tricks for treats. My family and I enjoy making your pet family. Sleeping cuddling and lots of attention is what they get while here. Most dogs don't want to leave when they come. I have several repeat dogs and they get out of the car and run to the house. Where they have an abundance of toys bones and beds to relax on. I believe the dog should be on your schedule so I do my best with that. Huge yard provides safe exercise time. Sunbathing an added bonus. I will even bathe your pup upon request. So don't stress and let me take care of the rest. I currently do this part time. Around working as a waitress part time. I'm available every 4 to 6 hours for pet care. I love this job. I have crates and plenty of space to separate if needed. I have filtered water. Treats of all types. I have toys for an aggressive chewer to a softy.

“Wesley was fantastic with our pups! Working 12hr shifts it can be challenging to find someone to check on and walk my two mini poodles, so I am very thankful Wesley was able to make time for them! Wesley also took the time amidst a busy schedule to meet the fur family which really helped😊🫶🙌”

About: Hi! I'm Christynn, and I'm 19! I’ve worked with animals for years, starting at a boarding facility when I was 16, where I learned daily care, handling, and health monitoring. I also completed a two‑year animal science program in high school that earned me my Veterinary Assistant Certification. Now I’m studying Animal Science at Virginia Tech, continuing to build both hands‑on and academic experience with animal care and welfare. Now that I’m home for the summer, I have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and the only day with limited hours is Sunday, I’m free after 1pm. I’m excited to spend my summer giving your pets lots of attention, walks, and love. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. In your home, I follow your routines closely, feeding schedules, walk times, crate use, and any house rules you already have in place. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision so they feel secure while you’re away. I also keep an eye on behavior, eating, and overall well‑being, and I’ll always update you so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel relaxed and cared for, and to give you total peace of mind while you’re gone.

“Emily is amazing! My dog absolutely adores her. She always sends me updates and photos. I cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of my pup.”
