“Leah is great with my pups! They love her. She makes me comfortable by sharing pics, asking if she has any questions, and following my instructions.”

We cannot wait to be her repeat clients. If you want someone that you can trust that your dog will quickly be obsessed with, look no further. Seriously, thank you so much, Helena!”

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting for over 2 years! As a child, I helped feed, bathe, clean up after and play with puppies my entire childhood. My love for dogs and animals grew with me and I began volunteering at animal shelters at 14 and working at dog care facilities at 16. I have been working in the pet care industry for 6 years and have been trained on dog behavior, handling and nutrition. I worked for a year as a veterinary assistant before moving to VA, and am looking forward to attending veterinary school this fall. I am experienced with dogs of all ages and understand the importance of training regimes for younger pups. I am also very familiar with senior care, including physical assistance and medication administration. I have also done personal pet sitting for as many as 6 dogs in one household and have references if needed! I value honesty, communication and transparency with pet parents. Please reach out if you would like to learn more! Currently, my day-to-day schedule is constantly changing between pet sitting and classes on certain weekdays. I have been extremely successful in working around others’ schedules with my own, message me to check if I’m able to work with your timeframe! I am experienced and knowledgeable on dog handling and focus on dog safety and comfort. All dogs being walked outside of their home must have a harness or gentle leader, I will not walk dogs with just a collar unless they are unable to wear a harness or gentle leader due to age or health and understand that this is a possibility for many dogs. I make sure a dog feels comfortable and safe with me both in their home and before going out for a walk to guarantee the best safety for both of us. I will not take a dog off-leash outside of their home unless we are in a fully fenced in area the dog cannot escape from. All dogs being walked by me must be familiar with being leash-walked and cannot be leash aggressive. Currently open every day, I just require a 2-3 day heads up! Hours of service include 7am-8pm weekly. House sitting visits include 24 hour care. I do not let dogs off-leash in non-fenced in areas or in spaces with dogs unfamiliar to yours. I require all dogs and cats to be updated on their rabies vaccines. I will not take an unaltered dog outside of his or her home, this is for the safety and wellbeing of your dog. If your dog struggles with behavioral issues and has a history of aggression, please include this in your message so I can help you decide the best options for your pet when it comes to meeting a new pet sitter. If your dog struggles with severe anxiety (this is very common!) please include some of the best anxiety-reducing practices for your dog (ex. favorite blanket, hiding spots, calming treats / jackets) in their care instructions so that they can have the best time possible without their favorite human.
“Nicole was excellent! Both of my cats LOVED her. Mimi was feral and normally won’t come out of hiding for most people, but Nicole had her playing and snuggling !! She sent pics and/or videos every day and made me feel completely safe and comfortable that she was watching my home and cats. I’d give 10 stars if I could! Thanks Nicole!!”
“Absolutely fantastic and reliable. Michael is reliable and loving. We can finally enjoy vacation knowing our cat is completely taken care of.”
“Jessica was wonderful! I came back home to a dog who’d been well taken care of while I was away and a house that was almost exactly as I’d left it. Jessica was also incredibly communicative and I could not be happier with her services while I was away!”
“We are so glad that we found Vanessa to be able to watch our dogs while we were out of town. She is so attentive to the needs of our dogs and treats them like her own. She is very knowledgeable about anxious dogs which makes us feel so much better knowing that she is the one taking care of our dogs when we are away.”
“Ciara was excellent as always. Is always dependable and extremely responsive. We went on a weekend trip and had lots of photos from her and check ins. Always appreciate her and she is our go-to person for house sitting. :)”

About: I’ve grown up on a farm since I was little. I’m not only experienced with cats and dogs but other livestock that you may also have. I currently work at aylett animal hospital as a kennel assistant. I’m currently working part time as a kennel assistant at animal hospital. So I am pretty flexible with my schedule to fit your sitting needs. I have a fenced in kennel area and two friendly dogs to keep yours company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. . .
About: I've always loved animals and have tons of experience with all kinds. Right now I have a dog, a cat, 3 lizards and several aquariums so my experience is varied. My dog is a purebred German Shepherd so I have good experience with larger breeds. I work full time during the week, so my availability will mainly be on weekends. I do sometimes have Fridays off so I may be able to accommodate certain Fridays. Due to having a cat and dog I will not be hosting animals in my home, however I would be happy to follow any instructions set out for me in caring for your animals.
About: Hi there , I just have always had a love for animals , I am currently a full time student on my way to become a veterinary technician as well as working full time in a vet clinic. I am open to watching your pets if they get along well with other dogs/small kids, with my work schedule it would be best to watch at my own home but depending on the situation and distance I could possibly stay at yours as well ! I have 3 days off during the week so depending on the scenario I can always bring your pets to work with me as well so they are not alone. I already work with animals as my job and love being around them. I have a good experience and it’s really just part of my daily routine Just whatever is instructed for me to do , I want to make sure everything is fear free and I am able to bond with the pet and help with their nerves and just make sure they have a good time
