About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by pets taught me how to read animal body language, handle different temperaments, and anticipate a pet's needs naturally. Caring for dogs and cats isn't just a job for me—it's second nature. Over the years, I've handled everything from high-energy puppies to gentle senior pets needing extra patience and medication. As a stay-at-home mom, my routine revolves around our home, which means your pet will rarely be left alone! I am available throughout the day for frequent potty breaks, outdoor playtime, belly rubs, and regular walks. Whether your dog needs a structured routine, continuous supervision, or just a cozy spot to lounge while we go about our day, they will get personalized, round-the-clock care and attention. We have a wonderful yard for fresh air and exercise! Because our yard is open, all outdoor time is strictly supervised and on-leash. Your dog will never be left unattended outside. Whether we’re doing a longer lead play session, routine potty breaks, or neighborhood walks, safety and security are my top priorities We have one resident cat who keeps to herself. Our home layout makes it easy to separate pets using baby gates or dedicated rooms, ensuring both your dog and my cat have their own peaceful, stress-free space.

“Arabella and Dylan always do a fantastic job with my pups. Always on time, communicative, accommodating. My pups are very happy when they visit.”

“Erica is absolutely amazing! She took care of my fur babies, Milo and Pickle Boy, and went completely above and beyond. She always arrived right on time, took them for great walks, gave them extra snuggles, and even surprised them with treats and pup cups! She is incredibly responsible and always made sure the doors were locked securely behind her. She kept me updated every single day with pictures, letting me know exactly what they ate and what they did in the yard. She even cleaned up any messes they made. Erica is the absolute perfect choice for your dogs—I will definitely be hiring her again!”

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 have grown up having dogs and have had 5 dogs in my lifetime so far, I currently have 3 of my own! So far, I have had experience with taking care of a dog who takes medication, Puppies, old doggies (they are sometimes the sweetest ones 🥺❤️), medium sized dogs, larger dogs, and teeny tiny ones! I have also done check in’s for my neighbor’s cat. I am passionate about working with dogs especially, it is such a rewarding and fulfilling experience and I would be happy to discuss working with you on how to help your dog live a healthy and loved life! I am currently working part-time so on Monday’s, Tuesdays, and Friday’s I am usually available (still contact me just in case because my manager doesn’t always schedule me!) from 2:30pm-3:30pm and 7pm-8pm. I am available Wednesday’s and Thursday’s from 2:30pm-8pm. On Saturday’s I am free unless stated otherwise. And Sunday’s I am available from 8am-5pm with the exception of church in the morning! Daytime House Sitting (6-8 hours) I offer daytime house sitting for pet parents who need extended care during the day. This includes staying in your home for 6-8 hours to provide full supervision, companionship, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime. Rate: $60 for 6-8 hours. Custom quotes available for longer stays. If your dog doesn’t have many toys, I bring some toys with me to ensure that your dog has a blast and to keep them from finding other objects to play with that are not toys. I also bring a spare leash and collar just in case my client does not have one.

“Heather was great with our baby! We have never traveled without him but due to unexpected circumstances, we had to leave him for a few days. She took great care of him: he went on long walks which he enjoys and we came home to a very happy dog!”

“I was very grateful to Serenity and Daniel for being available to look after Spud at short notice. My cat can be a little shy at first, but he came out to say Hi to Serenity. I felt that he was happy with her and that put my mind completely at ease. Serenity followed all my instructions and sent me photos of Spud. I would definitely use her again in the future, and I can highly recommend her to anyone else who is seeking care for their cat.”

“Kind and caring to our pups and our family! Would definitely have Jenny come again.”

About: I have taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes my entire life. I grew up with at least two large dogs at all times, and at points there were four of them in the house along with birds and copious amounts of cats to take care of. I also have experience caring for large animals such as horses and I have eight years of handling them under my belt. Along with all of this, I also have experience in giving both medications and insulin shots to both felines and canines. I am currently working a full-time job at the Lynchburg Humane Society. I have availability in the mornings, middle of the day, and evenings to care for little critters! This would include walking, potty breaks, and caring for them however they need! I currently have two dogs who have a big double fenced in yard to play in, but would only have your furry friends interact with my animals if there were to be an emergency. I would be able to easily crate your pet and do whatever is needed to keep them safe and comfortable!

About: I have grown up with cats, dogs and many other animals, and have been trusted to care for neighborhood pets since highschool. I have experience with senior, and energetic breeds, and even trained my border collie in agility. I am currently in a season ample time to dedicate to your pet. I am flexible and can provide excellent pet care whenever you need. I have a yard and a large park next to my home with space for walks. I also have a dog and am currently fostering a cat.

About: I have cared for my family's pets my entire life. I worked in the pet care dept. at the Lynchburg Humane Society for about a year until it got in the way of school. I have been cat and dog sitting for people around my neighborhood for the past five years or so. My family and I have also been fostering mama dogs with litters of puppies as well as bottle baby puppies and kittens from the Lynchburg Humane Society for the past 4 years I am a senior in college. I am currently taking two online classes so my schedule is very flexible. Next semester I will be taking in person classes so my schedule will be more limited starting Jan. 14, 2027. We have two cats and two dogs at my house that I help take care of. I have experience caring for several of my neighbor's cats and dogs. I am able to adapt my care to the needs of your critters. I also have experience caring for cats and dogs with medical conditions of varying severity from my time at the Lynchburg Humane Society and fostering.

About: I’ve taken care of 10-15 dogs over the years as well as 4 cats. I love animals and think they are so special and every animal has such a unique story and deserves to be cared for in a loving way! I’m currently a full time student but most of my classes are online which allows for me to be available lots of times! The more of a heads up I get the better but I’ll make anything work if I’m free! I don’t keep pets in my own home. So this section isn’t very applicable to the services I will be offering. But I am more than happy to care for pets in their homes or take them on walks!

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. As a pet owner myself, I understand that our pets are family members, not just animals. My personal dogs receive the same love, attention, and care that I would want for any pet entrusted to me. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have more than 15 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including owning and operating a nonprofit animal rescue for five years. Through my rescue work, I cared for hundreds of dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, special-needs pets, and dogs recovering from illness or surgery. I am experienced with administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or veterinary care. I know that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will care for them as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Because I spend a significant amount of time at home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and potty breaks throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and will work with you to ensure your pet’s schedule, feeding times, medications, and preferences are followed closely. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I can provide the level of care and attention they need. Safety is always my top priority. My experience running an animal rescue taught me how to properly introduce dogs, recognize signs of stress, manage different personalities, and provide a safe environment for pets with varying needs. I have a securely fenced yard and closely supervise outdoor time. I can also accommodate medications, special feeding instructions, crate training, and senior pet care.

“Alexis was very accommodating, fantastic overall! I felt comfortable right away when I met her and knew my three cats would be having a good time with her. I felt very comfortable leaving town, and having her in my home. She’s very proactive, and I knew anything that went awry or if she had questions she would contact me.”

Suzanne Z.

“My cats really warmed up to Trina, and enjoyed each day that she came to take car of them. I really enjoyed all the pictures I received. She did great with the care she gave!”

Diane M.

“Crystal was quick to respond and get booking details confirmed, though I made it on short notice. Very communicative during when I was gone. An absolute delight to work with. Plan on booking with her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats around me for most of my life, from growing-up on a farm in Maryland to working large animal husbandry at the Virginia Tech Veterinary School to sharing a 1-bedroom studio with two cats in Roanoke City, and I’ve always loved all animals. All! Right now, I have one dog and three cats of my own, and they are very much part of my family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. I enjoy walks, playtime, and just hanging out with them and giving them attention. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets when you’re away, and I’ll care for yours just like I care for my own. I’m currently in the process of my Pet-CPR/First Aid certification. I’m working a flexible schedule (as a Referee). When I’m at work, Nalini (my wife), will be there at home with your pet. So, your pet would never be there alone day or night. The most respect, care, compassion, and hugs!! There’s separate pet living spaces in my house for accommodating your pets needs, and we have a friendly and vaccinated dog.
