About: IF HOUSE SITTING IS UNAVAILABLE PLEASE CHOOSE “ DOG SITTING” . I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. Many people have asked me to take care of their pets while on vacations, day trips, etc. I also have 2 dogs of my own, one being a St Bernard so trust me haha I know how to take care of dogs:) I’m currently home from college so I have all the time in the world to take care of your pets! Always looking forward to it! I always make sure that pets are getting the loving attention they deserve, are getting fed at the correct time and the right amount. I also make sure to take them right out to the bathroom after feeding and I always make sure to refill their water bowls. I also love taking dogs for daily walks whether it’s twice a day or more:)

About: Have had dogs all my life, small/large and medically complex needing meds, love to train, have done cat sitting for medical cats and normal ones I am currently a student in college but only have 2 classes a per week, also am active and am willing to change schedules around :) I am currently not taking pets for boarding as I have my own dog now, but would love to take care of your pets at your home and provide them with enrichment whenever you need/want.


4. Molly T.
About: I have grown up with dogs in the house since I was born! Having one dog for me was never enough, so I started working with service dogs. Great Danes boarded it at my house under my care for 2 years where I would feed, bathe, and train them. I have worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I have a lot of experience with big dogs. I have always had a love for the outdoors and animals, so if you hire me, be sure your dog will be outside having a lot of fun! I am a sophomore at Virginia tech, who is looking to Phil in some of my class breaks with being productive! I have a dog at home in Boston that I miss so dearly, so I thought this would be perfect! I am always out for walks or runs with my dog when I am home, so I will absolutely bring your dog out and about! I live at Terrace view, so it is a pretty good neighborhood, and we also have a fenced in dog play area!


5. Whitney S.
“Whitney is an awesome caregiver for my 15 year old beagle, Brady. She is always punctual, responsible and so caring. I never have to worry because I know he is in good hands. She takes him on walks, cares for him overnight and gives him so much love. Brady is on a few medications and she has no problem administering them at the necessary times in addition to his normal feeding schedule. Whitney truly has a love for animals and treats them all like her own. Brady always comes home with a huge smile on his face when he stays with Whitney! I couldn't be more thankful for her!!”




6. Gillian B.

“Gillian got back to me right away about a last minute request for dog-walking and saved the day. Will definitely use her again and recommend her to others.”




7. Natasha S.


“Natasha was very kind and a wonderful walker. She took great care of my dog and was more than willing to continue doing walks with minimal notice to help me out. Natasha was always on time and always left me a review on how the walk went!”


8. Nancye D.
“I have known Nancye for more than ten years, during this time I saw how she took care of her own pet Cinder she spared no expense in the care she needed and she showed her so much love and kindness she treated her just like she was a real child. Nancye just lost her recently and she was devastated, Nancye looks after the neighbors pets, taking them treats and making sure they have food and clean water when their owners do not really pay that much attention to the animals. I don't think you could ask for anyone better to leave your pet with, she truly is an animal lover and an extrodinary caring person.”


9. Jessica V.

“Jessica has walked my dog twice now. She was very flexible and helpful when I needed to change the day and time of my second walk. She has great communication skills and, most importantly, made my dog feel comfortable right away. I'll be re-booking with her!”


10. Laura D.
“As a parent to two adorable kitties, Laura is already very experienced in pet caregiving. She makes sure all their needs are met and often spoils them to treat them as well. Laura is responsible, attentive, and loving, is more than able and can be completely trusted to care for your pets!”


11. Marquesa P.
“Marquesa is a caring, kind, and very responsible animal lover. She walks our neighborhood dogs, does stop in visits as needed and has done overnight care as well. She is very responsible and reliable.”


12. Anissa S.

“Anissa has been so reliable and my pups absolutely love her visits during the day! She is so attentive and always makes sure to contact me if she has any questions or concerns regarding the dogs. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker for their pups!”


13. Jason P.

“Thanks Jason! Sorry I was so late with the review and tip . I worked super late that evening and completely forgot. I appreciate you though!”


14. Mia M.
About: I absolutely love dog and house sitting! I have house and dog sat for up to four dogs at once and been around dogs all my life, there is nothing I'd like to do more! I grew up around lots of dogs and started out my love for dogs early. I continued by getting my own dog and by house and dog sitting for friends and family. I continued to do this throughout college and into my adult life as a counselor, but expanded to house sitting for other people in the area with dogs. I have lots of experience with all sizes of dogs and am currently training my dog to walk on a leash and different manners. I've worked with dogs of all types of personalities and love them all!


15. Anna S.
“Anna is exceptional at providing reliable and kind care for pets! She worked for me at Blue Ridge Canine helping take care of our dogs, client dogs, and other small farm animals. She shows attention to detail, is extremely compassionate with animals and a very honest worker. I would absolutely hire her back without hesitation and recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter or pet care. I’m happy to be a reference for her any time!”


16. Emily P.
“Emily provided an exceptional dog sitting service characterized by reliability, professionalism, and genuine care. She was highly communicative and responsive throughout, keeping me updated with regular messages and photos. Her attention to detail ensured she followed all instructions regarding my dog's routine and needs. The environment she provided was safe and comfortable, reflecting her commitment to the well-being of the pets she cares for. I would confidently recommend Emily to anyone seeking trustworthy and attentive pet sitting services.”

18. Bryanna Y.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 6. I’ve trained puppies and taken care of senior dogs. I’m an expert walker and love to play with all kinds of fur-babies! I do have a full time job but my morning is always open along with the full days on my days off which is two days a week. As long as I know where all the necessities are for your fur-baby everything will go smoothly! If your pet needs to be crated I feel comfortable doing so and if not I would take them out every 2 hours to use the bathroom unless told otherwise!


19. Jackie S.

“Jackie was great with my senior little girl! I will definitely be using her again ?”


20. Riane M.
