About: I've had pets since I was a little girl. During college, I worked as a Veterinary Assistant as a part-time job and have always pet sit. I have a lot of free time during this stage of my life and my work is extremely flexible. I would love to take care of your animals while you're away! I have my own small online business so my schedules are flexible and I have a lot of free time! I'm available 7 days a week and can arrange to pet sit with short (one day) notice :) I have half an acre of wooden fenced back yard and a large 20' by 20' composite deck that was built just last year. I will take lots of pictures and I am happy to take care of puppies too. I have taken the Cat and Dog First Aid course offered by American Red Cross so I understand the basics of providing first aid care for your cat or dog, as well as how to care for them in most common emergency situations.

About: I’ve been taking care of fur babies since I was 12. I treat every fur baby with the upmost kindness, care, and compassion. Your baby will be in good hands. I have an open availability. I am available for boarding throughout the week and weekends. I can also walk your baby as needed. Whatever you need, I’m here. I have a large fenced in yard and a poodle to keep your baby in good company. There is a dog park down the road from me and plenty of area to take walks.

About: Hi! I’m MacKenzie, your pet’s new best friend and part-time squirrel scout. While I might not have a fancy pet-sitting degree, I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, and my own dog (a.k.a. my four-legged child) has taught me plenty—especially about basic training, reactivity, and the art of treating every leaf like it’s a masterpiece. I’m also a pro at giving meds and following care instructions to a T, so your pet’s routine won’t miss a beat. Plus, as an avid hiker, I’m more than happy to take active pups on day hikes for a little extra adventure! I get that every walk is a big deal, every squirrel is a personal nemesis, and if there’s a cat involved, they’re probably running the household. And yes, I’m here for my own steps too, because walking is my therapy! I'm currently in between full-time jobs, so I have ample flexibility for pet care throughout the week—perfect for midday walks, medication administration, or just dropping by to say “hello”! If your pet lives more than 30 minutes from Petersburg, they should be comfortable being home alone for up to 8 hours once I return to full-time work. For now, my schedule is wide open, especially on weekends! Routine is important to me, and it’s no doubt important to your pets! My primary goal is always to limit the amount of change, so feeding and potty break times will be strictly adhered to. If there’s valuable training you’ve worked hard to implement, it won’t go to waste! Don’t be shy about letting me know exactly which cues and commands to use, and any other little personality quirks I should know about.

“Abby was wonderful with our pup! It was our first time having a walker stop by since adopting him, and Abby put us at complete ease and was excellent through and through. Will def be a repeat booker! :)”

About: Been feeling stressed about your dog cooped up at home? Want your cat to judge a new caretaker in their life? Look no further! I come from an agriculture background, which has allowed me to care for all kinds of pets. Most importantly, I’ve cared for cats & dogs during all their life stages. From puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats — I know what it takes to administer love and care during all developmental stages of life! My heart is full when I get to see either a happy dog tail-wag and smile, or a purrfectly content cat make biscuits. I’ll work with your dog to improve their commands and get their daily zoomies out; your cat will enjoy company and simulating feline friendly games. I’ll also have their bathroom and medical needs taken care of. I’ll make sure to provide a safe environment for everyone. I will care for your pet according to your instructions. If I am at your home, I will abide by your house rules and care for your pet accordingly. Your pet will be safe and cared for. I have a flexible schedule, so I can work with your schedule to best serve your family! At this time I am not hosting animals in my home. I will do house visits and walks. I prefer to take your pet on routes they are familiar with to start. After getting to know your pet, I can take them on walks in new environments to encourage new training opportunities. Please disclose if your pet has ever been aggressive or experiences severe anxiety behaviors. I want to provide a safe environment for your fur baby and myself by being aware of any sensitivities or triggers. Your pet will receive top care while being set up for success when spending time with me! Book with me & I’ll help make your life a little less stressful — your pet has a friend in me!

About: Dogs bring so much joy and purpose to my life, I genuinely love spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 15 years, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra TLC. As a dog mom to both a Miniature Schnauzer and a Great Dane, I’m confident handling everything from tiny paws to big personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m happy to work on leash and obedience training and love engaging dogs in mentally stimulating games that keep their minds sharp and tails wagging. Whether your pup needs calm companionship or an active play buddy, I’ll show up with patience, care, and lots of love. I work from home part time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pup! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekday care. Because I’m home all day, your dog will have lots of love, attention, and playtime. I enjoy keeping dogs on a consistent routine with regular walks, meals, and play.. structure helps them feel safe and happy! Although my yard isn’t fenced, I always keep dogs leashed during outdoor time to ensure their safety. Inside, my home is spacious and perfect for supervised play and lounging. I live with two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having guests around. I’m comfortable crating dogs if needed and will always follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel at home. I prioritize structure, predictability, and lots of affection to make sure every dog in my care feels secure and loved.

About: Hello, I’m Max! I’d love to care for your fur babies. I have experience with a wide variety of animals. I currently own a one year old Red-Nose Pitbull and been working with him since he was a few weeks old. He’s one of the many dogs that I’ve trained throughout my life. I’d love to experience life’s opportunities with your Paw-some companion! I’m currently a Substitute Teacher for CCPS so during the summer I have full availability to care for your babies. During the school year I’m available weekends, with weekdays have a bit more of a limited schedule. I feel as though it’s best to not only physically stimulate animals, but also mentally. Whether it be going for walks, training, mental exercises, or something as simple as love, I’m committed to do it all.

“Carlita is super responsible, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. The dogs love her and we truly appreciate how she's been able to help us get their leash training back on track after a lazy winter. Thanks for being a great new best friend to the pups!”

About: I’ve always had multiple dogs my entire 28 years of life! As the youngest of 3, it was always up to me to walk, feed, and train the dogs. I currently have a 5 year old pit/pointer mix and a dachshund mix under a year old! We love going for walks at the river or visiting the dog park in Chester! My wife and I also have 2 cats, meaning our dogs are very active friendly! We love all animals, shape and sizes! We reside in Colonial Heights and have a relatively decent sized fenced in back yard! Our cats are spoiled and have a dedicated room where they can come and go as they please, no dogs allowed! We also have a spare room to accommodate any dogs that may need to be separate for any reasons. Safety is very important to me! In my car I have multiple doggy seatbelts and harnesses dedicated for riding. I look forward to showing your dog or cat to the Daisey Does It way! I truly care for anyone’s pets as my own. I currently work part time while attending part time classes at Brightpoint Community College. I’m home except for a few early mornings, so my availability is pretty open. I can walk dogs or do home visits throughout the day or night. I can also board a dog(s) on most nights throughout the week. I have a relatively large fenced in yard with lots of doggy toys! My wife and I have 2 dogs that love meeting new friends to play with! We also have two cats, they have always been around dogs. We treat all animals as our own. We believe animals are better than people, haha! Our pets are our children, they are allowed on the furniture, and sleep with us as well. We can crate your animal if needed and have a spare room if you’d like your animal separated for any reasons. Our dogs are trained for off leash hikes, but we do walk them around the neighborhood as well. I’d love to take your fur baby to the local river trails even to run off leash in my backyard!

About: Lifetime dog lover and caregiver with experience in geriatric care, allergy management, and weight control. Your furry-friends’ health and happiness will be my top priority. I work from home so I have the flexibility to work from your home and play and care for your furry friends, mid day walks, or even help with boarding needs. You can also book my backyard on Sniffspot! I don’t have any pets currently. I have a nice size fenced yard and I love taking pups on long walks in my neighborhood or at the local dog park if possible.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I currently have a working dog of my own. I’ve had a long journey when coming to training her. I take care of my pet everyday with love, training and time out exploring the world. We’re constantly trying something new everyday with new people and animals. I will make sure the environment is safe and secure. I always double check when it comes to the safety of others. I will accommodate where needed.

“Trinity is always on time and great with my fur baby. He loves her and so do we!!!!”

About: Hello, my name is Taijah and I’m a huge animal lover! I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life and they are a big passion of mine. I’ve spent several years on a farm taking care of dogs, horses, and chickens. I currently own two sweet fur babies that I love very much. I understand how important it is to be able to trust who takes care of your pets, so I am excited to have this opportunity to be at your assistance. Whether it’s boarding or walking your babies will be cared for and loved as if they were my own, not only because I love pets but because that’s how I would want my babies to be treated while I’m away. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pets and taking great care of them!

About: I have groomed a dog before. I have bottle fed kittens in my vet program. I have been dealing with dogs and cats almost all my life. I do work during the week on some days, but I am very flexible with my schedule. I don’t work on weekends, so that is very available. At my home, I have two dogs and they are well cared for. They have a nice, big fenced back yard and they get play time a lot, so that they can stay active.
