About: I am an animal lover with over 20+ years of pet care as a pet parent, as well as previous pet sitting experience and years of experience working with animal rescues. (I'm even certified in Animal Reiki.) I treat each pet sitting job as the unique experience it is, and care for each of your babies with the same love, compassion and caring that I would my own. I have very open availability and flexibility right now because I'm studying virtually and can make my own hours from any location that has Wi-Fi. I have a very large backyard and dog-friendly neighbors. I provide a wide variety of pet needs and have experience caring for many different types of animals, (from dogs and cats to lizards, birds and more). I do have one friendly cat in my home so any animals that boarded with me would need to be cat friendly.
“We had the pleasure of leaving our fur baby in the care of Brianna for 7 days while we went on vacation, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Despite facing unexpected travel disruptions that extended our time away, Brianna was incredibly accommodating and understanding, ensuring our minds were at ease throughout the entire situation. It was evident from the start that Brianna is a genuine lover of animals. She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was not just cared for but also loved and entertained in our absence. We received daily updates and photos, which were a delightful reassurance of our dog's well-being and happiness. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caretaker for their furry family member.”
“She was incredible! Sent us tons of pictures and kept us updated on our shy pups progress. She was very gentle and patient with him. Will be using again!”
“Jem is wonderful! She was available for a last minute request and was great with our pittie! I look forward to booking her again for sitting.”
About: I’ve been raised around animals since I was born and have taken care of, medicated and trained horses, cats and dogs since I was eight years old. I have found a passion in animals and I am currently studying at Tarleton State University to get my Pre-Veterinary Bachelors degree to continue pursuing my degree to get my D.V.M. I’m free whenever you and your pups need me, the only day I’m not free is Sunday but I might be able to make special arrangements! I've worked with animals in yards, crates and roaming in homes. I’m comfortable in all aspects of animals living arrangements. I’ve have experience in training animals in crate training as well.
“Kathy did a great job and our pups loved her. Our first pet sitter cancelled on us the night before we were supposed to leave on our vacation and were scrambling to find another pet sitter and Kathy responded back to us quickly and was able to do a meet and greet with the pup and us. We had great communication with Kathy. We will definitely book Kathy again 10/10 pet sitter.”
“Sharon was wonderful! This was our first time using her and we will definitely be booking her again! Dudley was so well taken care of! It made for a very relaxing trip!”
“Absolutely a great experience! My dog loved his time with some new friends, to the point he didn’t want to leave, haha. The host weee amazing taking care of him and constantly kept me in the loop as to how he was doing through pics and videos!!”
“Rheagan was awesome! She stayed in our home for 5 days with our dog. She provided updates and pictures and did everything we asked. Would recommended her!”
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals for the past 8 years, and I’m also a cat owner myself. I really enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work full-time but have gaps in my day where I can check on your fur babies and make sure they are thriving in their home. I can pick up on behavior quickly and would love to take care of them in an environment they know and already love. I would love to meet them ahead of time to establish trust.
About: Growing up from the age of 7 our family fostered many different breeds of lovely dogs. I dealt with energetic dogs, sleepy dogs, and even at times aggressive dogs. Growing up with this I took on responsibility of walking, feeding, bathing, and the best part, playing with them! This sparked my love for animals and most specifically dogs! We also had 6 dogs growing up. One of these dogs, Lily, had birth to puppies when I was 12 years old which gave me the skills to care for puppies. With owning dogs we also got to witness the hardest part, them growing old. Our oldest lost his sight and hearing, that was definitely hard to witness but it equipped me with the necessary skills to care for him until he passed. I am currently in between jobs so I am free anytime during the weekdays or weekends to provide pet care. I am able to dog sit for extended periods of time. I have a fenced in backyard that has plenty of grass space to run around and stretch their legs. We also have two very sweet dogs and a nice cat that love making new friends!
About: I am a Eagle Scout from Stafford Va, that recently moved to the area a year ago for employment. I have taken care of my animals almost my entire life. I am looking to fill my free time with other people's pets, since I am unable to go home frequently and see my own My usual scheudule is 4pm to 10pm on the week days and my weekends are usually free. I plan on moving to Chesapeake VA in about a month to be closer to my new job. I currently live in Norfolk VA I will follow the customer's instructions on how they want thier pet cared for. Every pet has a specific set of needs, because they are special in different ways.
About: I have taken care of a puppy before that needed tended care, I cleaned up her playpen, fed her, gave her time to spend outside, and gave her lots of pets. I have also taken care of two big dogs, a golden retriever, and a chocolate lab, these are loving dogs who love when I come by to take care. Lastly, I have cared for two little rascals, Jack Russels, who love going outside for their walks and want many pets. Pet care is something that I always accommodate in my routine as pets always want your love and attention. I love taking care of pets. I set time away in the morning, midday, and night. There is an amount of time that I set away for pets. I always ensure the pets I care for are comfortable with me, get all the pets they want, have their playtime with me, and get as many cuddles as needed. I want the pet to be ok while you are away so you don't have to worry.
“Gage is always fantastic. This is his 2nd time watching our pups and he also agreed to care for our little hermit crabs. He's professional, responsible, and our dogs always appear to be happy and taken care of when we return.”

11. Hannah N.
“Hannah’s the best when it comes to looking after pets. I’m a blue‑collar guy, work long hours, and I don’t trust just anyone with my dog. But Hannah? She treats him like her own. Always makes sure he’s fed, walked, and gets some play time, and she doesn’t shy away from a mess or a muddy paw. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals, and she takes the responsibility seriously. If you’re looking for someone you can count on every time, Hannah’s your person. —William B.”
