Pet Sitting in Farmer

About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds for about 5 years now. From dogs and cats (of all ages!) to horses, birds, and a tarantula! I have a lot of experience with senior animals and pets with special needs as well :). I work part time Monday through Friday but I am always off work by 3pm at the latest (often earlier). But outside of work I have no other responsibilities that cannot be adjusted to fit around your pets schedule! I have experience with all sorts of homes, ex: cities, busy neighborhoods, homes in the country. And all sorts of pets! I am happy to work anywhere and very adaptable.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I have experience training puppies in basic commands like sit, stay, come, and leash manners. I provide a calm, structured environment and pay close attention to each dog’s needs, whether that’s playtime, routine, or extra patience. My goal is to make them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home most of the day and able to give dogs consistent attention and care. Occasionally I may step out briefly, but dogs are never left alone for long and can be safely crated if needed. I live on a quiet property with a large yard and a long private driveway, giving dogs plenty of space to walk and explore safely. While my yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is supervised and/or on leash for safety. I also have the ability to crate if needed and always prioritize a safe, controlled environment for every dog.

“Great experience with Gina. She was very responsive and arrived on time and gave a few tips for us. Provided some pictures of Kico and gave us peace of mine knowing kico was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and will be using her again!”

About: My journey started with owning cats growing up and training every animal I ever owned leading up to my first dog. My cats and even my bird. When I was 12, I started dog sitting Pierre, my mom’s coworkers Yorkshire Terrier. He caused me to fall in love with dogs. I became obsessed with AKC dog shows, my mom and I watched it every Thanksgiving morning after the parade. I actually loved anything with animals. I owned many cats from the age of 4 through my teenage years. I love cats but they can’t do what dogs can. Finally after years of begging, my mom got us our first dog, Omega. He was a beautiful standard poodle and was so smart. My best friends mom had a friend who needed to rehome one of hers, he was 1 when we got him and I taught him all he knew from down, stay to jumping over a pole. Before going off to college I chose to foster dogs in need and I fostered three successfully who went off and found their forever homes. It was the most rewarding thing. So I decided if I can work with dogs my entire life and just be around them all day for a job Id be in heaven! Naturally my teenage brain thought “I’ll be a Veterinarian”! I completed 3 years at Virginia Tech majoring in Animal & Poultry Science doing the Companion Animal Tract. I was able to receive a lot of hands on experience with animals of all kinds; pigs, cattle, sheep, horses and chickens (of all ages). I learned skills from halter breaking heifers to administering shots in 3 different ways. Though I do enjoy animals of all kinds I eventually came to the realization that I thoroughly enjoy training dogs and I’m constantly training my own. I currently have two that im working with regularly just for fun at one point and so it dawned on me that I’m in the wrong career. So while in the process of developing and launching my own personal Dog training and boarding business. Since I work from home, I have the time and knowledge to be able to dedicate to helping others who are in need of these services now. Trusting their fur babies will receive the best of care and would be made to feel at home. If your baby is more comfortable in their own home I’m happy to accommodate to their needs. Leaving your fur babies is not always easy, trust me, I’m having to do it for the first time soon myself and with me you can have the peace of mind that your furry friends will be in great hands, as I will treat them just how I’d expect mine to be treated ! With nothing but love, care and patience. I have Experience with all ages! Omega was with us until he passed at the age of 14! My dogs recently had an accidental litter and I raised up 10 puppies who all lived and are 12 weeks old now ! I’m familiar with administering pills or medications if necessary. 7 puppies remain in my care as I want to make sure they go to great homes and I plan to train them as service dog prospects ! I train dogs in basic and advance obedience, on and off leash training, and some skills like protection and sport work. I work from home full time starting my work day at 12:30 pm and ending at 9 pm. I get two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch through the day. During which they would be able to potty and play. So your furry friend will always have someone home with them. It is a goal of mine to eventually do this full time. I have A large yard on an acre property. Dogs who are trained off leash can roam in the back which has rock boarders lining the property. For those not trained off lead i have A long 30 ft lead which will still allow them the freedom to run around. I have two adult dogs and a litter of puppies still with me who can keep any anxious friends company. And for those who need to be alone, my two can be kept upstairs in my room and the puppies can be crated leaving your friend the entire downstairs to roam or in my work office with me while I work. I have two large crates which can be used if your friend has a hard time getting settled in a new environment. I provide an enriching environment where your fur baby will learn how to be a better k9 citizen everyday ! Picture and video updates can be sent regularly !

Tori B.

“She was such a blessing. This was a last minute booking and she was able to accommodate. She provided great pictures and feedback. I would definitely recommend.”

“Ariana accepted our booking almost last minute when we found that we had to travel out of state. They were able to visit our three "gentlemen" daily and ensure they were fed, had water and took time to interact and play with them. They also ensured the litter was fresh and sent us daily reports with pictures. We very much appreciated the peace of mind and the boys were very happy with them as well! Thank you!”

About: I've had animals most of my life from puppies to pound mutts and full blooded and senior dogs. I make sure to encourage play and positive training. I currently work from home so I spend lots of time with family pets, old roommate animals and friends pets. Lately it's been waking up to 3 small dogs my parents have. I make sure to follow any rules stated by the original owner. It can range from crate training, socialization, cleaning, walking or using the client's home.

About: Hello fellow Animal Lovers, my name is Randi Witcher. A little to know about me would be that I live around the Lexington area. In the past, I’ve taken care of multiple horses, dogs, and cats. I’ve had family members and friends rely on me to come drop-in or house sit their pets while they were away. I currently have 2 cats with the names of Will and Kitty Baby. I’m responsible and have taken my job as a sitter very seriously. I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and nothing has made me happier than just being in the presence of animals or helping them in need. So if you are looking for a loving, caring, and big hearted person to care for your babies while you’re away or just gone for the day, you have found your sitter! ❤️ I’m currently in the transition to getting full time job. My new hours are 7:30 to 4 in Archdale! I typically like to do meet and greets on the weekdays after work but weekends are good too! I would absolutely love nothing more than to build a caring and trusting relationship with not only your pets but with you (the owner) as well to insure that in my care you will not have to worry while you are away. If you have any questions, please do ask them and I’ll be sure to answer them! I’m 100% cooperative, understanding, and will help to the best of my abilities!

“Michael was really the best. They took extra time before the scheduled visits to meet with me so we could discuss some pretty specific pet needs & asks that I had. He Made me and my wife feel very confident and comfortable about leaving the pets in his care for as long as we did. I appreciate Michael for constantly communicating with me updates after every visit along with any questions or concerns they had. Overall Michael took their time with care and treated everything with kindness and compassion going above and beyond when they could. Appreciate the great job!!”

About: I’m a dedicated animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats over the years. Whether it was daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving plenty of affection and attention, I’ve always made sure my pets felt safe, happy, and loved. Although I don’t currently have any animals of my own, all of my previous dogs and cats are thriving in wonderful, loving homes with family or trusted caretakers. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and would be happy to give your dog or cat the same attentive, compassionate care they deserve while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom, I'm home most of the day and can easily fit pet care into our family routine. I handle school drop-offs, dance, grocery runs, and outings, but I'm usually back home quickly. I'm very flexible for drop-in visits, walks, or boarding and can provide consistent care during the day, evenings, and weekends. Your pets will get plenty of love and attention while your away! I provide loving, attentive care in a calm and safe environment. I respect your home and privacy completely. I make sure pets are fed on their exact schedule, get plenty of playtime, cuddles, and affection, and are never left alone longer than needed. I'm reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every pet like my own. Whether I'm caring for them in your home or mine, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority.
