About: I have experience caring for both elderly and young dogs. This has equipped me with a variety of skills such as age-appropriate exercise, nutritional needs, and understanding certain behaviors and how to react. I just recently graduated high-school and need something to fill my time. Playing with your pups seems to be the best thing to fill my day! I’m free majority of the week and only work part-time as a waitress. I have a cat and dog at my house but both a friendly to other animals. If needed the animals can be put in a separate room away from clients pet.

I have a fenced yard and two very friendly dogs who love to play and also love to lounge.

Long walks through the neighborhood weather permitting.

About: I have 2 dogs of my own who i’ve taken care of since I was 10 years old. They are both very needy to say the least, so I’ve got experience with dogs that can be over excited/energetic. I’ve trained my dogs to do many things as well as my friends’ and family’s dogs. I recently graduated from Virginia Tech. I’ve decided to take gap year, so I’m free pretty much every day of the week and weekends for most of the time. I have a fenced in yard that i typically play with my dogs in, and i also take my dogs to tennis courts and parks to run around and have fun in!

About: What sets me apart is my deep, lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience with pets of all ages. I currently care for 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own, and I’ve never gone a day without tending to an animal. I’m especially patient with senior pets and gentle with shy or anxious animals. I’m also comfortable with basic puppy training, medication administration, and special care routines. Your pet will be treated like one of my own—with love, attention, and respect every step of the way. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I plan my day around feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and giving each pet one-on-one attention. With 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own, I’m constantly in tune with their needs, from early morning potty breaks to evening cuddle time. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s just how I live my life. Whether it’s a quick check-in or an overnight stay, I’m fully committed to giving every pet the love and care they deserve. At my home, pets enjoy a little over an acre of land with a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe outdoor play, exercise, and exploring. The space allows dogs to run freely and burn off energy in a secure, supervised environment. Inside, the atmosphere is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, with cozy spaces for rest, play, and feeding. I understand and respect the importance of crate training—I crate my own dogs when I’m not home to ensure their safety and comfort. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always follow routines closely and provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where pets feel right at home.

About: I grew up on a farm, always having dogs and cats around. I also worked at a small animal shelter for 3 years, where I rescued my 2 cats and dog. Later I worked at a pet supply store. We were given extensive education on pet nutrition, handling and care. I have always been friends and families go to person for their pet sitting needs. Also I cared for my husband's 2 elderly dogs when we moved in together, helping them eat, administering medications and helping them in and out of the house. I have an open schedule as I am new to the area. I am more than happy to come to you or you can come to me! Whatever your pet needs are I can attend to. If crating is needed I can do that, I live less than a mile from a nature center where we can go on hikes and walk. If I am needed in your home just let me know the details of what you would like and I can make that happen as well.

About: Hi there! My name is Lacy, I've taken care of all different shapes and sizes of pets since I was very young. I worked at a doggy day care for a year, as well as a dog walking company in Los Angeles where I took 5-6 dogs at a time for walks/hikes. I have some experience with simple obedience training, such as proper leash manners and basic commands like sit, stay, wait & come. I will be happy to take your dogs on walks or hikes, I'm also happy to take care of cats, birds, rabbits, hamsters, reptiles, etc. Let me know if I can help! Thanks! I currently work part time and I’m in my third semester of nursing school, currently taking online classes. My schedule varies from month to month but I will gladly help care for your fur babies whenever I can! My current living situation isn’t set up for me to keep pets at my home but I would love to take care of them in their own environment where they already feel comfortable and are familiar with the area!

About: I have 2 dogs of my own. I got my first dog when I was about 9 or 10. I was a teen leader in the Dog Project in 4H for 2 years. I currently work at a Dog Training Kennel, so I'm handling many dogs every day. I care for my dogs anytime I'm home. Since I work at a Kennel, caring for and playing with dogs is a regular. I am not too sure when I am free, since the schedule changes each month, but most weekends are doable and sometimes weekdays. I will make sure your dog feels as safe as possible. My main priority here is making a fun and comfortable environment while they are away from their owners.
