House Sitting in Girdletree

“Kim is an absolute delight. She enjoys pet sitting and our puppy loves her visits. At the very first meeting she sat on the floor with our pup and played with her. While we were away she shared pictures of our pup resting on her lap and updated us during her stay. Our puppy was well taken care of and we will definitely hire her again.”

“I couldn’t have asked for more. Hanna stayed with our two girls - Darla and Hazel - one senior dog and one space cadet young English Setter. We got photos everyday that showed us in an instant that our girls were well taken care of. We like them to be more comfortable at home and having Hanna here with them was wonderful - she brought in the mail and took great care of our home. What a blessing and a treasure. In a heartbeat I’d ask Hanna again. Too bad she’s not available for our cruise this spring! I tried!”

About: I have had pets my whole life. I have experience with senior pets as well. I work during the week in the local school system so I can do evening or weekends! I work 8 to 3 Monday through Friday. I can help on weeknights or weekends. I can do dogs, cats and horses if need be. I can come right to your residence so no need for boarding! I can stay over on weekends or some school holidays. I can walk dogs as needed too.

About: I’ve have taken care of pets since I was a child. I have been with Rover since February 2023.I have a large yard and a little boy who loves animals. We spend a lot of time outdoors. If your pet likes that, they will be able to join us. I have a chain link kennel out in the yard and a lead where they have room to walk around and hang out outside of the kennel too. I work full time. I am available after 5:30 pm Mon-Fri. Weekends I’m free all day! We love animals and can’t wait to care of yours! :) I have a large open yard with an enclosed porch for your pet to lounge and take in the sunshine! I provide morning, evening and bedtime walks and outdoor time.

About: I’ve grown up with pets at home for the last 17 years. My extended family all have had dogs my entire life varying from Rottweilers, dachshunds, German shepherds and yorkies. I’ve walked, dog sat, bathed, taken care of for both short and extended periods of time for family and friends for about 10 years. I’ve recently moved to Virginia with some family and although not “technically” mine, currently with an extra 4 Maltese and 1 mastiff I set my own hours with my day job. Because of that, I set the same hours on a weekly basis to minimize any confusion. My parents currently have a dog who is very anxious and easily scared so from my personal experience, I’m great with making sure a dog feels more than comfortable with me. I allow them to sniff my hand and/or anything else including shoes, pants, shirt, whatever they need to feel comfortable. Trust with a dog is built over time and I will never force you for baby to go with me if they don’t feel safe.

About: I’ve been taking care of all types of animals from Horses to goats, to dogs and cats, to chickens and fish. I have experience with all ages of dogs and cats from newborn to seniors. I am currently the DayPlay Lead at K9 Heeling, rates the “#1 Dog Training Company” on the Eastern Shore, based on The Metropolitan Magazine! I love all animals and would willing to watch any type!! I am currently working full time! I’ve plenty of free time to take care of your pets and make sure they have the best quality care! After all it is what I do for a living! I would prefer to pet sit in your home so that the dog can stay in the comfort of its own home, if at all possible!

“Heather was great! Communication and pictures of Duchess were very much appreciated! I came home to a clean house and it was perfect as I got home later than normal and could just relax and head to bed. I will definitely use Heather again!”

“Kaitlyn is reliable and our Doberman loves her! We would recommend her for pet sitting services!”

About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds for my whole life living on our 50 acre family farm. We have horses, pigs, cows, dogs, cats, reptiles and fish! I take care of all of them and provide them with a loving and enriched environment. I can’t wait to meet your best friends, or have them for a visit! Pet care is my greatest passion and second job at home. I spend my mornings out in the fields with my horses and cows pitching hay, mucking stalls, and cuddling in the grass. I spend my evenings snuggled up with my 3 hound dogs on couch or landscaping my reptile and fish tanks for fun. I am open to the needs of all pets as I know people do things in their own way. I will carefully follow the instructions left by the client.

About: I provide reliable, attentive care that’s tailored to each pet’s needs and personality. I have a 15 year old Yorkie mix and a 1 year old Yorkie. My experience includes caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, so I understand everything from basic training and routines to giving extra patience and comfort to older animals. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, and keeping pets active, safe, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel at ease with regular updates and check-ins. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets aren’t left alone for long. I’m flexible during the week and weekends, which allows me to stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule and give them the time, supervision, and care they need. I create a safe, calm environment by following each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and always supervise pets. In your home, I respect your space while keeping your pet in their normal routine. I also provide updates and can handle special needs like medications.

Hello! I'm Victoria and I often travel with the best travel partner I've found yet, Rae. I travel frequently and am available for extended sits as needed. We often miss the love of animals while on the road. So, house and pet sitting is perfect for us! I take work with me and also additionally do gig work (i.e. grocery deliveries) if time permits while traveling. In time off from work, if not spending time with family or animals, we love to cook, find hidden gem restaurants/food trucks, explore in nature, long camping trips (we just took a 9000 mile, 2 month camping trip this year in April), projects on various older vehicles, attend concerts/festivals, or many other different events that a town/city may have to offer! We love to meet new people and pets and explore new areas... or frequent favorited locations! We often miss the love of animals while on the road. So, house and pet sitting is perfect! We still get to give our love to your animals while on the road! We come to you and follow your instructions and routines as to not disrupt your pets natural environment and daily schedule! Simply put, your preferences will be our preferences depending on your pets needs whatever it is that will make your pet most comfortable! Please note we do not smoke or vape and prefer to stay at a non smoking house. Please let us know if you smoke in your house!

About: i’ve had animals from dogs to cats and so many other animals since i was a little girl. i love watching animals for other people. i currently don’t work due to medical issues so caring for others animals when they’re away would get me out of the house. i’m always available unless i am watching someone’s animal(s) i will take on many walks and feed when they need to be fed, make them feel like they’re my own, give so much love and also give space if need be. i treat it like i’m at a sleepover with friends but my friends are the pets

“Wow. We are so impressed. Melissa and Jordan took great care of our dogs, took time to understand our routines, and sent us pictures and updates during our trip. They came on late notice and we felt very secure leaving our pups in their hands. They even took good care of our house too. Above and beyond and we are grateful.”

About: I am an all natural animal lover! I love animals of all types. I find dogs especially to be therapeutic for me. I can promise if i dog sit for you, you won't regret it. They will be in great hands. I’m a SAHM who is looking to make extra income and I would love nothing more than to do that through my love of pets. Let me take care of your furbabies while on vacation with no worries! You won't regret it! I’m a SAHM who’s very flexible! I have a very long history of veterinary experience and pet sitting. Taking care of animals and loved ones holds a special place in my heart. I treat every pet like my own ❤️ each pet is different and some have special needs so I always try to accommodate and make sure each furbaby has what they need whether they are staying with me or in the comfort of their own home.

“I highly recommend Jacqueline. Our pups loved her. She put my mind at ease and sent updates and pictures of the pups while we were away. I’ll definitely hire her again.”

Katherin J.

“Jordyn did a wonderful job puppysitting our two furbabies! She kept me up to date and answered in timely manner. From the minute we met, I could tell how loving and caring she would be. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with boarding and/or other pet needs.”

About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was 12 years old and grew up around cats and other animals. I genuinely love cats and enjoy providing them with attentive, compassionate care. I work full-time but I get off at 3:45 PM on the week day, which makes me very flexible for evening care, drop-ins, and overnight pet sitting. When pet sitting, I usually care for pets in the client’s home. Clients provide detailed instructions for their pets’ routines, and I carefully follow their directions to ensure consistency, comfort, and proper care.

“Kelsie is a great sitter! Ziggy loves her and is wildly excited when she comes to the door. We're happy to leave him in such good hands.”

Donna L.

“She was great with our skittish cats and they were even comfortable enough to eat (one of them spent a whole week under our bed with a different sitter). We did leave a detailed two page set of instructions and while we found our home clean and in order, there were just a couple little things that could be improved. For example, the mail wasn’t brought in all week, and I had told her she could sleep in either the master or guest bed but she chose to sleep on the couch. Our cats are used to sleeping on the bed with us and I prefer to keep their situation as close as possible to routine. She did have good communication and sent several photos which was comforting while we were away. Overall, a delightful young lady to work with.”
