“Mary did a fabulous job taking care of our cats while we were away. She went above and beyond with her care and communication. We are truly grateful to have had such an amazing care giver looking after our cats!”

About: I've had many years of experience between keeping my own animals as well as house sitting or just dropping in to check on your pets! I also offer the same service for reptiles! Preferably would like to service closer to Wytheville but will travel in some cases, extra fees will apply depending on distance! I currently have a full time job but I am looking to quit so I can focus on doing nails and going to school part time for that but I need a side hustle! I live in a school bus so I don't really have tons of room to take care of pets there but I am more than willing to come to their homes, I'd prefer that the pet is comfortable as possible and I cannot stay overnight in a home but I can stay as long as needed to make sure the care requirements are met
About: Hello, my name is Angela and I'm 22. I've taken care of, rescued & owned a great variety of pups, from yorkshire Terrior to a Cane Corso. No job is to big or small. For a year and a half I have been a faithful Foster Pawrent to Iredell County Animal Services. I have been through dog behavior and dog body language course training's. At the current moment I'm available full time for your pets. I have a large open yard, splash pad and pool for the water loving pups. I love to take the dogs to the walking trails and dog parks in my surrounding area. I will care for your beloved pet following all your wants and needs. A little tid bit about me: I've Always wanted to become a Certified Professional Dog Trainer! My 4 babies with paws are my angels. I love all creatures...all most all anyway hah. I get bored if I don't have fun with the pups lol Hours I am available Monday - Friday 6am-6pm If you need something sooner, like before work or anything I will greatly welcome your pup at any hour :) I have a fenced and gated back yard! With pools and splash pads for the fur babies to relax and enjoy. The routine for my pups..Morning potty and breakfast, rest time after eating, potty and playtime outside, inside playtime and resting, early evening walks or training sessions, potty and rest, dinner time and finish up with another potty break before bedtime.
About: From playful puppies to wise old souls, I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. Every tail wag gets the love and attention it deserves love. I’m currently a grad student, but when i get home I have plenty of time with my pets. My husband also works from home, so we would be a team on Rover! I live on a secluded 65 acre farm, we also can provide fencing if needed. We also can crate your baby if needed, but our pets roam inside and outside since this land is isolated from the road.
“Jane has been wonderful! Very caring, pleasant, responsible and timely. Jane is lovely to work with. I will definitely call her whenever needed in the future. Thank you Jane! 🥰”

About: Hello! I love all types of pets and currently have two dogs of my own. I am a student at Virginia-Maryland college of veterinary medicine trying to earn some extra money by doing what I love, playing with pets. I have experience with all types of pets at varying sizes and personalities. During my undergraduate career, I raised two Seeing Eye Dogs and helped other raisers with training. During this time, I worked at a veterinary hospital, participated in animal specific events like vaccination clinics, and groomed. From healthy puppies and kittens to seniors who need medication, I have seen it all and am prepared to help with whatever your pet needs. I hope I can meet your fur babies and shower them with love while you’re away. I offer additional grooming services, ask about them if your interested. As someone who owns two dogs, pet care is a priority in my life. Both of my pups get plenty of one-on-one time as well as long walks and enrichment in the house. During the day, the pups are crated while I am at school, but if my boyfriend is off of work they get to run around and play. As soon as I get home the dogs get taken out and fed. Along with daily care, I take care of all of their grooming and medical needs as well. I currently live in apartment complex which has a dog play area for your furry friends to get plenty of exercise. There is also a trail connected to the complex which will be utilized for long walks and plenty of sniffing opportunities. Both of my pups are very friendly and would be happy to be your pet’s playmate during their stay.
About: I’ve always had pets in my home growing up and have a special place in my heart for dogs especially. I worked in a doggy daycare/boarding setting before for a while and absolutely loved it. I’ve taken care of neighbors pets throughout the years as well. I currently have a 10 year old lab mix and 10 month old mix as well and they both love playing and making new friends! I absolutely love life with dogs and would be so happy to help take care of your furr baby/babies :) I have lots of availability right now and am free to do overnight stays most days of the week and can do just daycare or potty breaks almost any day! I have a big fenced in yard and two of my own furr babies who are both friendly and love to play! I can easily crate or separate your pup if needed though!
“We felt incredibly thankful to have Gracie looking after our pups once more. It’s a true comfort to know our furbabies are in such good hands while we’re gone. They recognize her now and feel at ease. Gracie genuinely adores all animals and is dedicated to ensuring they receive the best care possible. Thank you again! 🩷”

About: DISREGARD REVIEW FROM ROBIN! It contains lies which meet the standard for libel. Nothing in her review is true. I did come the night before at her request, but every other remark is untrue. I have two dozen 5-star reviews from this site and others. Where to start? Three dogs with 11 legs, 50+ cats, 2 alpacas, 7 parrots, farm critters— Out of space! What else? And…um…Ack! Estates, hovels, and— Being retired from the rat race, I now sit full-time. That means I’m there 24/7 to give your Fur/Feather/Scale Babies and home love and care The safety of your pets/home are of utmost importance, so a schedule and information list are essential. I prefer arriving early to go over everything. Being retired, sitting pets and homes is my only focus. Actually, available within a four-hundred mile radius, all the way to the coast, the big city, and everywhere in between! I make certain your home and your pets are in the same pristine condition as when I arrived. The pets (who have lips) will be smiling. Of course, they will be even more exciting to see you again. The house would be smiling, if not for that whole lips thing.
About: I grew up taking care of all different breeds of dogs, and there’s nothing else I’d rather do! I started out caring for my own, then I started caring for my family’s and friend’s pets too. My experience ranges from caring for puppies and senior dogs. I had a 14 year old lab that I had to provide senior care on, from feeding by hand, cleaning her up, and administering medicine. I am working full time at the moment but am more than excited to spend my days off with your fur babies! As of right now I am available most weekends, and nights. I care for my dogs by letting them run around during the day, I have a huge yard with plenty of space. At night my dogs like to sleep in their crate.
