About: Hi! I’m Katie, I’m 20 and a huge animal lover! I’ve grown up around pets my whole life and can’t imagine life without them. I have two dogs of my own, a playful young Labrador I’ve trained myself, and a sweet 13-year-old Westie, so I understand the needs of both energetic pups and senior dogs. Over the past several years, I’ve cared for many neighbors’ pets, including dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats with all kinds of personalities. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, medication, or just a little extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m reliable, experienced, and truly passionate about animals, their comfort and happiness are always my top priorities! Pet care easily fits into my daily routine because animals are already a huge part of my life. I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to early walks, feeding schedules, and making time throughout the day for attention, play, and exercise. I’m very organized and flexible, so I can adjust my schedule around each pet’s specific needs, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care. Spending time with animals doesn’t feel like a chore to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I always follow your instructions closely, from feeding and walk schedules to any specific needs your pet may have. I make sure your pet feels comfortable in their own space and give them plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. I treat every home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own, and I understand how important it is to build trust, both with your pet and with you. Safety is always my top priority, and I do everything I can to make sure your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re gone.

About: I have always had pets. Growing up we had a dog, and cat. Our cat who lived to be 17, was more like a dog-cat. He always had to be held like a baby, sat at the dinner table with us, and needed cuddles. Since then I had a golden retriever/husky mix named Bella who lived to be 10. She was there for both of my daughters coming into this world, and whom they still talk about to this day (with their Bella pillows, and Bella blankets I made them). Now, we have Penny, an almost 4 year old Chihuahua/Terrier mix who is our love! We adopted her when she was 9 months old. She keeps us entertained, and loved! There will never not be a time in my life where I won't have a pet. It's so important for my kids to grow up learning how to love and take care of an animal too. I currently have a full-time job that is work from home. This allows me time to walk my dog, and yours too! It's the breaks in my day that I enjoy it the most! I am a very affectionate, loving pet care taker. I have always spoiled my pets, and others too! The walk is the highlight of my dogs day, so I make sure she gets her sniffs in, and enjoys every second. It's a bonus for me for the exercise! I just enjoy watching her be happy.

“Ashley was fantastic! She was available for a last minute walk, and did such a great time with Lincoln - she was patient and helped him get some much needed outside time! Thank you Ashley!”

About: I’ve grown up with all types of animals since I was a kid including dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, peacocks, etc. I am comfortable working with most animals and will treat your furry friend as if they were my own. I currently have my own 7yo Boston Terrier/ French Bulldog named Milo! I recently started my doctorate in Clinical Psychology and am looking for ways to make some money in my free time. I am currently free Tuesday afternoons after 2pm and have full time availability on Thursdays and Fridays. I am also open to weekends on a case by case basis. I formerly worked as a probation officer so I am extremely trustworthy, hardworking, and dependable! I am comfortable and respectful working in others’ homes, and will follow all care instructions to meet a pet’s specific needs. Additionally, I am comfortable feeding or administering medications if needed. I will always prioritize your pet’s health and safety, and will likely avoid interactions with other pets unless an owner indicates that their dog is friendly with other animals.

About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up my family has always had a least 2 pets, even having 15 at one point. My love for animals has run deep in me since I was a child, which is why I am currently a pre veterinary student at the College of William and Mary. I have experience training puppies including potty training, assisting senior pets, and providing a full and fun life for all animals. I have previously worked at multiple equestrian training facilities and farms, so I understand how to handle larger animals. I am versed in problem solving and strive to make all pets feel safe and happy. I am currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule to care for your animals. I care for my pets on a daily basis so I am always improving my skills and knowledge about the best care practices. I understand every pet and home is different so I try to cater the care to each client, however there are a few things that will always stay the same. First I always ensure I understand the pets feeding and bathroom schedule. This is vital to ensure the happiness and health of all pets. Second I try to make your pet as comfortable with me as possible. Sometimes new people can be scary, so I would allow your pet to make the first move and establish their level of comfort. I find this creates a level of trust and care between me and your pet. Third I follow any specific instructions given by you, the owner. The families always know their pets best, so following their directions helps ensure your pets safety and comfort.

“I was very nervous leaving my puppy alone after 6 months of furlough. Elmer took the time to get to know her and gives her the attention she needs. I am gone for a large part of the day. When I come home she is happy and the house is in one piece.”

About: I have had all different types of animals since I was a kid. For the past several years I have spent time fostering cats and dogs as well as adopting my own dog, (who is blind), Willow! I currently have a work from home job that allows for a flexible schedule and availability that can fit the needs of you and your animals! They will be given attention throughout the day and walked as needed. I am home all day to monitor the animal(s) and I have toys, crates of different sizes and gates if they are ever needed. Local to several nature trails and dog parks as well as many dog-friendly establishments that I frequent in warmer weather!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience with both puppies and adult dogs. My family has had four dogs in the past 11 years, and I’ve helped take care of, train, and walk all of them. Because I love animals so much, friends and family have trusted me to pet-sit since I was 11. I know how to handle different ages and personalities, so whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or making sure an older dog is comfortable, I’ve got it covered! I’m working part time as a server on weekends so my availability will be Monday-thursday’s and i am also a college student so mondays and wednesdays would be a later schedule. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether in my home or a someone else’s, I follow their usual routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they get exercise, playtime, and any needed care. I also keep owners updated.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I could walk. I grew up on a farm with multiple dogs at all times I grew up walking and taking care of dogs for my neighbors and raising cattle!! This fits into a part-time job for me! I can come any time of the day to walk a dog or boarding however I cannot do it every day of the week. I care for pets by giving them as much love and attention they could ask for!! I treat them as if they were a genuine child constantly loving on them.

About: I love animals like my own children! I have experience with young animals as well as senior animals (mine is now 14 and requires verrrry slow walks) I have my own pet so I take time out of my day to care care of my own. I know it’s super important to walk and give pets the proper attention. I have a 14yo super friendly old woman doggie. I do not have a fenced in yard but we take long walks to get outside.

About: Nice to meet you! I’m a college student at JMU and have taken care of different animals all my life, and often get asked by family and friends to pet sit-caring from animals as small as hamsters to larger dogs like german shepherds. I am very used to walking large dogs, as I have grown up with german shepherds all my life, and I am very used to taking care of animals with disabilities or special dietary needs. For example, my childhood dog had a pancreatic disorder where I fed her a special diet and am accustomed to carefully following directions and making sure everyone is safe and healthy. I absolutely love cats as well, I have a cat named Moss who is very very spoiled and loved. I am a very clean and responsible person who can be trusted to watch over your loved one and home. 🩵I am offering discounted rates for clients looking for daily recurring dog walks. (For example: 1 walk a day five days a week, but can be more than 1 ofcourse depending on your needs) I understand the importance of dogs getting their daily exercise in and want to be helpful for someone who’s understandably on the fence about scheduling something that can be a costly service. Please feel free to message me about getting this set up if you’re interested, I want to help out anyone I can.🩵 Some things that will be firmly and vehemently followed in my care: -Doors will be verified locked every time I leave, I understand how important it is to keep the home secure and your pet safe. -Your pet will NOT be lost under my care (I have seen the horror stories as well and can’t even fully fathom how awful that would be to experience) -I will follow housekeeping tasks requested by the home owner -I will strictly follow both household and pet care guidelines instructed by the owner. Thank you so much for your time! 🩵 I am a college student home for the summer so I am very available, please don’t hesitate in reaching out so we can coordinate a schedule! :) I will care for the pets and home with the upmost amount of care and respect. Im very concerned about making sure the pet is comfortable and safe at all times, and keeping the home very clean. I understand how stressful it can be to trust someone to take care of your loved ones and home, and I want to reassure you that I am very responsible, attentive, and communicative throughout the entire process. I will follow any specific instructions you provide and am happy to give regular updates, whether that’s photos, messages, or calls, to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family, and your home will be left just as you found it. I'm here to make your time away as smooth and stress free as possible for both you and your pets. :)

“Alyssa was amazing with our five month old puppy. She was great at communicating and was so patient with our pup. I would highly recommend her!”
