About: I’ve had my knee replaced which has slowed me down a tad but also allows me be to home all the time. We recently lost our old boy (dog of 12 years) and while my cats have helped me to survive, I have so much more love to give! For now I want to spend time with others’ dogs to help fill the whole in my heart. I genuinely want to make every animal a friend of mine! I will always lead with love, care and respect. I work from home already which is usually stuff I take care of in the evenings anyway but I have the time, love and space to accommodate your furry family members. We have three lovable indoor cats. Two will stay away mostly and one will greet you at the door with friendly meows. We will spend the whole time snuggling on the couch or running around in our yard.

Amy is fantastic with my kitties! She was promptly there to give 1 her insulin shots at her usual times; and even cleaned up when the other cat made a mess. Photos and detailed reports were helpful, letting me know everything was A-OK :)

About: With years of experience caring for dogs, I stand out as a pet sitter due to my ability to also look after my clients’ plants/garden from time-to-time. My lifelong passion for animals includes providing special care for young and senior dogs, ensuring their health and happiness. My current schedule varies, but I typically work 7-hour shifts on Sundays and Mondays. On the these dates, I can manage pet care for all dogs that have a wait period to be let out 4-8 hrs. If necessary, I have the flexibility to call off work to ensure your pets are well taken care of. From Tuesday to Saturday, I have open availability, allowing me to dedicate ample time to pet care activities, such as walks, feeding, and playtime. This arrangement helps me balance work commitments while ensuring your pets receiving the attention and care they need. In caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. I ensure to follow detailed instructions provided by the client to meet the specific needs of their dog. For instance, if a dog is anxious during thunderstorms, I am proactive in reaching out via call or text to discuss calming strategies. Additionally, I always clarify any boundaries regarding what I can handle or access in the home and to build a stronger rapport, I will arrange pre-sitting meetings with clients to better understand their preferences and to bond with their dog(s).

About: I have taken care of friends and family pets since I was 13 years old. I enjoyed caring for pets with walking, feeding, and playing inside and out. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I already take care of my own two pets on a daily basis. I always make it a point to give them attention and comfort. I care for pets in my home or my clients home by making sure all walks are on leashes, I provide calm reliable care, and treat every pet like my own.

About: Hi there! If your looking for a dog sitter/walker no need to look any further. I’ve taken care of dogs of a variety of ages and sizes my whole life. I love dogs and have always found them great companions. I have grown up with Golden Retrievers and Cavaliers, so I am comfortable with large and small dogs. I have also had pets in the past with medical issues and am well aware of how to administer medicine and take attentive care if needed. In addition, I have experience with puppies, both my dogs are grown now but I’ve had them since they were puppies. I am used to puppy life with my Cavapoo (Myles), he is very energetic and playful. Hank on the other hand, my Golden, would rather sleep all day, unless we are playing fetch. As a result, I know how to handle pets with different needs, some energetic and some older not so energetic ones. I often dog sit and walk for family and friends, have had paid sitting jobs in the past, as well as bathe and brush my dogs. I am willing and happy to care for your dogs according to your preferences, as well as hangout and play with them so they can have some fun while your away! I work during the week 9-6 sometimes I get off earlier at 4 or 5. I could do morning before work or afternoons after if needed! I also can do most weekends. I am however moving in August so I am only available till the end of summer. I take my dogs on walks around the neighborhood, let them run around outside if there is a safe space. My dogs like to play fetch so I am happy to throw a ball or any other toy to entertain them. I always take my dogs on leash when outside and would make sure to abide by any rules parents might ask of me. I occasionally treat my dogs when they are good pups, so I would make sure to ask the parents about feeding preferences as well as allergies and dietary restrictions.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for about 10 years now, through my friends, family, neighbors and my own 2 puppies! I’m a college athlete who’s very active, so I’m happy to run/play and keep energetic dogs exercised while also making sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for! Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine, caring for my own two dogs! However, I’m a college student now, who lives an hour away from home, but I’m back for weekends and have plenty of free time to care for pets! I provide a safe, fun environment for pets. I have a fenced yard for running around outside, and two friendly dogs who would love to make friends! I closely supervise pets and will follow all instructions/special requests strictly from owners!

Faith has watched our Shiba Inus multiple times now, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She’s reliable, responsive, and truly great with our dogs—even administering medication to our elderly Shiba with no issues. Most recently, she helped us out while we were in the hospital for the birth of our son. We weren’t sure how many drop-ins we’d need or how long we’d be gone, but she was incredibly flexible and quick to respond. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in good hands. Highly recommend!

About: I have been taking care of the pets of family friends and people who they recommended me to them. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, turtles, and one very friendly cockatiel. I work part-time at the moment, but I am available most weekdays during the day & evening, and during the earlier morning & during the afternoon on weekends. This is of course subject to change in unforeseen schedule changes, but is a fair baseline. I currently have two cats and soon a dog at my own Home, so currently I’m not able to provide boarding. However, I’m able and happy to drive to check in on and take care of your four legged friends, and will make sure to spend as much time with them as you’d like. I will clean up any mess your pet has made or take them out to use the bathroom(in the case of dogs), feed them, & of course make sure they get a proper level of attention. I also do mail collection if you’re going to be away a while.

About: I've been around animals for most of my life and genuinely love caring for them. I raised a kitten who grew into a happy, healthy cat and cared for her for over three years. My family also has two dogs, a Pit Bull and a Pit Bull/Bully mix, and we've had them for over six years. Being responsible for their care has given me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I have experience caring for both kittens and puppies since I helped raise the pets I've owned from a young age. I'm comfortable with animals of all sizes and breeds and am not intimidated by larger dogs. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while their owners are away. As a pet sitter, I will provide plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm environment, I will treat them with the same love and care I give my own pets. I'm currently away from college for the summer and have a very flexible schedule. As a student-athlete, I'm used to being responsible, active, and managing my time well. When I'm not on the soccer field, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for pets. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or overnight care, I can provide reliable and attentive care throughout the week. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. In a client's home, I make sure pets stay on their normal schedule and receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I'm experienced with both cats and dogs, including large breeds, and I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and creating a calm, trustworthy environment. I will treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect that I give my own. I also believe in keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.

Ruth came by to help out with our two dogs while we were out of state for the day. While we'd met Ruth and Keith once before, we hadn't used their services prior to now. Our two large dogs - specifically the oldest dog - can be VERY stubborn. Like, "might-feel-like-giving-up-convincing-him-to-get-off-the-couch" kinda stubborn. But both Ruth and Keith seemed convinced they could manage it, and they were RIGHT! Ruth came by to help out that day, and she was AWESOME. Apparently, both dogs were easy to deal with (go figure), and they even gave her a little snuggle time while she was here. We will DEFINITELY be contacting Ruth and Keith again in the future. THANK YOU!!

Elizabeth was awesome and patient with my 2 German shepherds while I was traveling here in Lynchburg. She helped them through their anxiety and nervousness being at a new place and made connections with them, took them for a walk and gave them love and attention. Her background with animals really helps a lot. I highly recommend her
