About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I grew up with cats, a St. Bernard, as well as farm animals including cows and chickens, which gave me experience with pets of all sizes and personalities from an early age. Today, I’m a proud cat person with four cats of my own and a very loved granddog who keeps me active and reminds me how important daily walks and attention are for happy, healthy dogs. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their pets while they’re out of town, whether that means drop-in visits, staying with them, or making sure walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles all happen on schedule. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. My goal is always happy pets and peace of mind for their people. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide reliable walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship while their owners are away. I enjoy building pet care into my day and giving each visit the time and care every animal deserves. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while providing plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I also respect your home, keeping spaces clean and secure while sending updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by building trust with both pets and owners. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s helping reinforce puppy training, keeping up with high-energy dogs, or providing calm, compassionate care for senior pets, I always make sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable. I’m currently studying for my physical therapy boards, which allows me to be home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule for pet care. Because of this, I’m able to provide consistent attention, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feedings, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.

Elle is the very best! Conscientious and loving towards our cranky old dog, she won him over and we all are so sad to see her go onto bigger and better things! (Especially Woody!) Thanks Elle! You rock and deserve only the highest of praise! I give you SIX stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

About: I have a lifetime of pet care experience growing up with multiple dogs and cats. I additionally worked/volunteered with multiple organizations to provide animal care before taking a break while pursuing my education. I am excited to have a flexible work schedule that allows me to pursue my other passion, taking care of animals. I have two dogs. A German Shepard with a history of gastrointestinal issues/reflux that has required specialized feeding/medical management. I also have a German shorthair pointer mix with significant separation/crate anxiety. I understand how vital it is to find someone you can trust to take care of your pets the same way they are treated when you’re home. I am comfortable with all types of dogs, providing specialized care/feedings and medication. I work with the schools and follow their calander meaning I am available during major holidays/breaks! I work 8am-3pm typically, however, have a flexible schedule to meet your pets needs. I treat your pets the same way I treat my own, with lots of love! I can fulfill all your pets needs and ensure they are safe, comfortable and happy! All visits are completed with a picture and summary of the visit so that you can relax knowing they are taken care of.

Excellent service. My dog was well taken care of, happy, fully exercised, and in great hands. Rebecca is quick to respond and an effective communicator. It is a relief to know that I never have to worry about my dog getting excellent treatment and care. Rebecca is great to work with and will use again.

About: I have raised two Australian Shepards myself. I have taught both of them all the basic commands myself. I am very patient and understanding. I just love being around animals as much as possible. I will give your pet plenty of attention including playing and exercising your pet. I am currently taking classes online so I am open nearly every day to take care of your pet. I am very flexible and have my own reliable vehicle to get to where I need to. I may currently be a little higher than other, but I will actually stay night and day to take care of your dogs. Not just to show up let them out and feed them In my home my pets are completely spoiled. My Aussie is always by my side including sleeping at the foot of my bed. My dog gets daily exercise. I am perfectly fine with treating your pet like my own or setting boundaries if you do not allow your pet on furniture. I also have experience with caring for horses. So I have no problem dealing with large dogs

Indeed, there is always pet care in my day-to-day routine! I will provide the utmost compassion, attention, and enrichment to all pets in my care, as if they were my own.

About: I have taken care of dogs that needed to take medicine and have dog-sat one hybrid dog for the past 9 years. Depending on the amount of time I am able to have with the pets, we often go for 3-4 hour long walks/runs a day. I do work full time away from home. I’m looking to make some extra money while in-between jobs so I can pay bills. But I am extremely passionate about animal care, and I’m hoping if this turns into something long-term then both you and I will be happy. I am unable to provide home services through my own place because my complex does not allow animals. But the environment I can provide is walks, jaunts to dog parks and—if permitted—hikes on fun trails.

About: I am a lover of all things flora and fauna. I grew up with three dogs in the house, all different sizes. I cared for my 16 year old lab mix from her animal shelter adoption until her passing a couple years ago. Since then, a wonderful cat adopted me and I couldn't be more grateful to have another pet to love through this season of life. I've also owned and cared for a menagerie of exotic pets from gerbils and fish, to snakes and bearded dragons. I love animals more than most people and spending time with them always makes me a better person. I am comfortable with medication routines as well as any normal needs your pet may have. I am a 32 year old freelance writer and photographer, so you know I'll be sure to share pictures of your pet while you're away! I've also spent a significant amount of time volunteering at local shelters and was the organizer of an annual pet shelter donation drive for a few counties throughout West Virginia and Virginia. Animals and their welfare are one of my true passions in life. Thanks for reading and hope to meet you soon! 🐱🐾🐶 I’m a freelance photographer and writer, looking to live a more active lifestyle. I’d love to take your dogs on a midday potty break, or provide your cat with some attention and a snack ☺️ I am also available after 6 p.m. most weekdays and from morning to evening on the weekends! Unfortunately, I cannot offer boarding services at this time, but I am happy to visit your home to provide walks or food and water throughout the daytime and evenings.
