Dog Sitting in Goode

About: I’ve been in a constant home of taking care of animals from a young age. I’ve trained over 6 dogs for basic training and have homed three cats. I’m versatile when it comes to new puppies as well as senior dogs. I’m a part time student so I’m mostly free in the evenings on weekdays and the weekends. For stop-bys and walks, I’m also free anytime before 9 am. In my own home I’ve got a lot of land for my own pets to roam within our land boundaries. Walking is a big part of giving pets time for exercise as well as calmer inside moments along with breakfast and dinner. Taking animals on rides to introduce them to different aspects of our world (exposure- therapy).

“Juniper is so amazing! She was on time, loved our fur babies, and left the house as it was when we left. I absolutely recommend her for sitting!”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs for most of my life, including huskies, shepherd mixes, hounds and small breeds. I have cared for several senior dogs and worked closely with a trainer for my husky pup. I work a flexible schedule, so I will have plenty of time to devote to your fur baby! I live an active lifestyle so I can provide lots of outdoor exercise time as needed. I am comfortable with taking your fur baby on walks, feeding and playtime as well as litter box cleaning for the kitties. I am respectful, calm, clean and reliable.

“Travis was there on time and had no problem patiently dealing with my unsocialized GSD. He let the problem child and my new puppy outside and changed the puppies cage. He fed both dogs and took pictures all while charging me a very affordable rate for a half hour. Very trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you again Travis!”

“Was able to accommodate me last minute. Met beforehand and was immediately happy with how well she got along with my pets. Kept great updates and plenty of amazing pictures. Easy to get a hold of when needed and made my first Rover experience amazing.”

“Isa was punctual and took very good care of my dogs. The pictures were cute, and it looked as if they were having fun. Thanks. Yes, I would ask Isa to take care of my dogs again in the future.”

“Samantha was great. Took care of my cat and fish in a timely manner. Had pictures uploaded to Rover so I could see her. If she’s available I will use her again to care for my animals.”

“Kylie is the best! Not only is she reliable and communicative, but she gave my cat so much attention, love, and cuddles while I was gone. I had so much peace of mind knowing my fluff was being well taken care of. Kylie is so kind and reassuring. Would 110% recommend you book her for your pet sitting needs!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10 years old and probably younger! I was always fascinated by animals and wanted to help my parents in anyway with our pets. I helped train all our dogs and trained my own dog all my own since she was a puppy. I’ve dealt with all the puppy stage antics to all the grumpy senior dogs! I’ve had cats for as long as I can remember and rescued my own cat a year ago. I know all about the troublesome kitten phases to the aloof senior kitties. I’ve had my own experience in giving medications to all ages of dogs and cats. I am also in school to be a licensed veterinary technician so I have some skills in that field as well. I’ve also owned all kinds of other animals from turtles, hamsters, Guinea pigs and mice to fish and rabbits and reptiles as well. I really just love all animals and would treat your pets as my own! I currently work part time so my schedule changes week to week but I’d still have plenty of time to visit and walk pups of all kinds or go play and check on kitties or other animals. My pets in my home are very spoiled and loved. I have a 1 year old cat and a rescued leopard gecko! Back home with my parents are my 2 family dogs who I helped raise and 2 turtles! In a clients home I would treat your pets as if they are my own and make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of! I would make sure they are safe and stay in the home so no pet gets loose!

About: My husband and I have grown up with dogs and taken care of them from a young age! We have experience with small dogs and large dogs, as well as puppies and senior dogs. My husband has a flexible work schedule that allows him to come home frequently and when needed for pet care. I am home midday in between working that allows time for walks, potty breaks, etc. For boarding services, we prefer small to medium sized dogs as this best fits our home size! We have plenty of space for walks at our apartment complex. We are happy to house-sit as well, if preferred!

“Christian was great checking in on our dogs! Needed someone last minute and he was super quick to respond and did a great job. Left a detailed note that showed he was very attentive to our pups and gave them both lots of attention. Would definitely use him again in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for nine years. I’ve also walked dogs at the Lynchburg Humane Society for years, and petsitted for and walked many others over the years. I’m available all summer thru mid August for pet walking/sitting. I’m very flexible due to my part-time work and am always open to last-minute requests! I have years of experience pet sitting within owners’ homes and am willing to accommodate whatever needs they have for their own home and their pets. I adore animals and have enough experience caring for them to be confident I can provide a positive experience for everyone involved.

About: I’ve had dogs from childhood up to now as a college student. I had experience taking care of my second dog once he was a senior and needed extra care. And additional experience working with two vet clinics. Currently working on and off until June 22, when I will move to a full time job. Mostly free every day up until early evening until that date I can easily walk your dog anywhere you’d like me to for as short or long as needed. I’m always aware of surroundings and will always ensure safety of your dog. I will make sure to keep the dog entertained and safe if you’re looking for someone to look in on them. And if desired, will keep contact with you with updates. I am more than happy to look after your doggo!

About: As a pet parent myself, I treat every pet like family not just a job. I know how important it is to have someone who genuinely cares. “I send consistent updates, pics, and videos so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands.I take time to learn your pet’s personality, quirks, and routines to give them care that feels like home.Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just being calm company, I adapt to your pet’s energy and needs not the other way around. I also help with my mom's pet transport business so Ive been around all breeds and know how to care for them. Pet care is naturally part of my everyday life ,I'm a pet parent myself, so my days already revolve around feeding, walking, playing, and giving lots of love. Adding other pets into my routine just feels like expanding the family In My Home When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like family. I make sure they have a cozy, stress-free space with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. I stick to their usual routine,mealtimes, potty breaks, and sleep schedule to help them feel at ease. I also keep my home clean, pet-friendly, and safe, with lots of toys and comfy spots for relaxing. In Your Home (house sitting/drop-ins): When I’m in your pet’s home, I aim to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow feeding instructions, walking times, medication needs, and any quirks that make your pet feel secure. I also make sure your home stays clean and respected:mail brought in, lights managed, and your pet loved on every step of the way. I’m big on communication, so you’ll always get daily updates, photos, and any notes on how things are going. Whether your pet is playful or more low-key, I match their vibe and make sure they’re comfortable and cared for.

“As usual, Aliyah took good care of Suzy. We look forward to working with her again!”

“Charles was above and beyond what we expected. We have an English Bulldog, and he whined when he left. It was obvious he really does love animals and treats them with respect. He sent us updates throughout our absence, and kept in close contact. 5-star rating from us and highly recommended.”

About: I’ve had dogs most of my adult life and they are my children. Your fur baby will live like a king/queen during their time with me. I will have play time, snuggles, and walks. I work from home so it’s easy to take care of your fur baby. They will have most of my attention and I walk five times I live in a great neighborhood and everyone is out walking. If your animal sleeps with you, then they will sleep with me. Anything I can do so your furry friend feels at home.

About: Welcome to my page! My name is Tracy and I would love to take care of your pet. I grew up taking care of my pets, both cats and dogs, and I currently have a goldendoodle that I absolutely adore! I have also been entrusted to take care of my friend’s pets while they were away. From my experience, I know that no pet is the same. I get to know your pet and learn to care for them in a way that is unique and special to them! I currently work full-time during the week, but am available for boarding on the weekends and most holidays. I am also available evenings and weekends if your pet needs to have a potty break or go on a walk! For visits in your home, I prefer to meet prior to my initial visit to go over instructions and expectations and to have a meet and greet with your pet. For boarding in my home, your pet will be able to have full access to the house or they can be crated if that is what is preferred. I live in a great neighborhood for walking and I also have a screened in porch that is great for napping!

About: I began pet sitting as a teen and have been in and out of the pet service industries for over 10 years. I can do training, basic grooming maintenance, walks, play and cuddle time, learning new tricks. Totally specific to your wishes and your pet’s needs! I have experience with boarding being a boarding trainer for the last 3 years with dogs ages 12weeks and potty training to senior care management - from Yorkies to Cane Corsos! I specialize in working with reactive dogs or dogs who need an experienced sitter. I am familiar and professionally trained in the use of tools (ecollars, muzzles, slip-leads, etc.) if that is something your dog requires. I have some experience as a former vet assistant so keeping your babies safe is a top priority and know how to administer dog first aide until the pet can be seen by a vet if any unforeseen circumstances arise. I am familiar with allergies, sensitivities, nutrition and medication management. I have a pretty flexible schedule so please reach out to me with your dates as soon as possible and I can get you on the books. Scheduling is based on a first come first serve basis. I am happy to come to your home so your babies are as comfortable as possible in their own environment while you are away! I would love to take your dogs on adventures and outings upon request at an additional fee depending on the type of outing. Taking them out to parks or on hikes, store visits or swimming if that’s something they enjoy (dogs must have a up-to-date Lepto vaccine for swims) or just out for some playtime in the yard. I am able to crate rest your dog if you so desire and do walks in the neighborhood. I have all my own equipment for long-line enrichment sniff walks. I have professional experience reading dog body language and behavior and will never make them interact with other dogs if they are not comfortable with it, I’m happy to advocate for their personal space. Due to liability concerns unknowing the temperament of strange dogs, I will not take your dogs to “dog parks.”
