House Sitting in Gore

“Was gone for about 3 days. Jessica was able to provide me with a morning and afternoon report on how my pets were doing and sent me plenty of pictures. I was so grateful and was able to enjoy my trip knowing that they were in good hands. My 2 cats and pup were so comfortable with her. Definitely recommend and will rebook again!”

About: I have been a pet owner for as long as I can remember. I have had both dogs and cats and love them both equally. I have cared for pets for both family members and friends. I've watched all types of animals with many different personalities. On top of pet sitting, I have fostered multiple litters of kittens, which has taught me patience and attentiveness. In my free time, I also enjoy volunteering at a local rescue to help walk dogs. I understand the hard work, attention and love that goes into managing any kind of animal, and I am willing to do just about anything to make sure that your pet feels loved and safe. I am a grad student who only has in person classes on Tuesday typically 8am - 4pm, which makes me very flexible for the rest of the week. I am very conscious about safety when it comes to walk, and/or letting dogs out in a fenced in area. I am sure to read any instructions before hand to learn about any issues individual pet needs.

“Haley did a great job keeping my high energy Border collies content. She was great with status reports and communications. Will definitely keep her in mind next time. Very happy with her. Thanks Haley”

About: While I don’t have any professional experience taking care of dogs or cats, I’ve had dogs my entire life. I love animals and getting spend time with them while earning money is a dream come true. I currently do have a full time job but can drop in for walks before and after work. I’m also available full time on weekends and for overnight care weekly. I have a small fenced in yard but an also capable of walking them outside. I have a cat, a snake, and 3 dogs. One of which is a senior diabetic poodle so I have experience with injecting medications.

“Our 130# Newfoundland and cat were well taken care of. Communication was great, even using a different app since we were in Europe. Would not hesitate to use Charlotte again, she cared for our animals like they were hers.”

“Julia is absolutely incredible, she is so professional and is constantly keeping in touch so we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our babies!”

“Kristine is a warm and caring individual and my dogs picked up on that immediately. She was fantastic with our three German Shepherds. She took great care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She was respectful of our property, cleaned up after herself and the dogs, and went above and beyond by mopping up after a rainstorm and even throwing linens in the wash before we returned. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was being handled so thoughtfully. Great communication, too. I would absolutely book Kristine again and highly recommend. Kristine, if you’re reading this, thank you so much for putting up with all the shedding, the Shepherds were dropping their coats like crazy.”

“Kathy took excellent care in our home of our 6-month old puppy, as well as our 3 adult cats, 1 kitten and 1 hamster while we were out of town for 5 nights. She carefully reviewed and followed all care instructions. She took good care of our home also. She was responsive, respectful and courteous at all times. She sent regular updates and photos, and messaged us with questions as appropriate. We would not hesitate to request her services again.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and got into dog training 2 years ago. I assisted a dog training company with the dogs they would board and care for, and assisted with multiple training outings. I also raised and trained my own service animal. I’m currently working part time, and will focus solely on providing care for your pet and home. They are my number one priority and love to do things with them. I will take them on long walks and do training with them to get their brain going. I’ll make sure their meals are extra tasty and made with love.

“Megan is the best. I never have to worry about leaving my baby girl thanks to her. Megan always takes such great care of her and sends me updates consistently. Highly recommend her!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have 4 cats and a 4-month-old puppy, so I understand the patience, attention, and love pets need every single day. Growing up surrounded by animals taught me how to care for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. From playful puppies to independent cats, I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cleanup, and giving pets lots of affection and attention. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently work a flexible part-time job, which gives me plenty of time throughout the week to care for pets and give them the attention they deserve. Since I also have 4 cats and a 4-month-old puppy of my own, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I enjoy spending my free time with them. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, young, or older. In a client’s home, I always follow instructions carefully to keep pets on their normal routine and help them feel as stress-free and comfortable as possible while their owner is away.

About: (Formerly Kamp Kelley) I have been fostering small dogs for a rescue group in No. VA. for the last 9 years (my aching back doesn’t allow me to work with dogs larger than 20 lbs)--prior to that I fostered cats and kittens. I has experience with many types of small dogs—especially Shih Tzu’s and Llasa Apso’s, but also Yorkshire Terriers, Basset Hounds, Pom's, Toy Poodles, etc. My expertise is in rescuing and caring for senior and special need dogs. Since I have a dog-friendly house and a large-fenced yard (1/4 acre) for them to run and play in, I decided to become a dog-sitter 5 years ago. I believe in loving and treating your fur-baby like my own! We keep her home and yard dog proof so your little angel will be in a safe, relaxed, dog-friendly, and loving environment! Because I am retired, my schedule is very flexible. I'm retired and except for occasional trips to the store, bi-weekly Bridge games. monthly book group and a occasional meeting, I'm home ALL THE TIME. At this point, I am accepting only ONE dog at a time EXCEPT if there are 2 dogs from the same household. Same for cats. I have a large, fenced yard that can be separated off. I have lots of dog equipment. For example large crates if your dog is used to being crated, bowls, beds and cushions, a big bed for them to share with me, jackets, leashes, kongs and lots of love and affection. Same for cats--EXCEPT, I let them out only on the back deck (enclosed).

About: I provide reliable, personalized care that keeps pets comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, including energetic puppies and senior dogs who may need extra attention, medication reminders, slower walks, or a calm environment. I focus on building trust with both pets and owners by keeping routines consistent, giving lots of affection, and providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m dependable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I enjoy staying active, so spending time with dogs is something I genuinely look forward to each week. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by following their normal routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep the environment clean, and make sure pets have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, attention, and plenty of affection. I pay close attention during walks and outdoor time to keep pets safe and secure at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and in good hands while they’re away.
