About: I've had experience with my own pets since I was 10 years old, and I have walked dogs and house sat occasionally as well. I raised and trained my cat from when he was a kitten and my dog from the moment he was born. I love animals, and I'm excited to work with yours! I'm looking for this to be my full time job, so I am available whenever you need me! I'm willing to visit/walk early mornings, late nights, and on weekends. For home visits, I am experienced with feeding, walking, and playing with pets. I am great at following instructions precisely, and I will stick to your pet's usual routine!

About: I would love to have a companion for walks while helping out busy pet owners! I grew up with medium and small dogs (Brittany Spaniel and Pomeranian) and enjoy being around all animals. I try to keep my prices as affordable as possible because I genuinely enjoy walking dogs and know how quickly pet costs can add up. My goal is to provide high-quality, reliable care at a price that feels accessible. Don’t hesitate to reach out if your dog needs some exercise and attention! Open for walks anytime on Friday evenings before dark and all day on Saturdays. I am happy to accommodate longer, faster walks/jogs for energetic dogs or slower, shorter walks for smaller or older dogs. I work full time Monday-Friday, but may add more week day evenings in the future. If you currently need help on a specific weekday, feel free to ask and I will check my availability! I’ve cared for pets for neighbors, coworkers, and friends. I’m confident handling dogs on walks and will be diligent about avoiding other people/dogs to decrease stress for your pet and maintain the best safety possible.

About: I am currently a full time nanny, who enjoys being outside and being very active in my free time. I have a HUGE love for animals, and always have. I’m a caregiver and lover at heart. I understand that pets are part of the family and promise to provide your pet with the same love and care that you and your family do. No request is too much. I am available to house sit in your home, and able to take your dog on long walks. I love spending time outside, running, hiking, and enjoying nature and would love to do these things with your pet along side me. I have a lot of past experience with dogs and cats! Thank you for your interest

About: I have taken care of many of my friends pets, both dogs and cats and when I didn't have a pet of my own, would often borrow one! They make life so much better! Two of my references can give you first hand information about how much I loved and cared for their dogs. I work a 40 hour week in Waynesboro and depending on location of the pet, can do drop in visits before and after work and sometimes during the day (if local). I can come to your home or your dog can come to mine. I am not opposed to overnight stays. Your pet will be treated as if my own and with as much love and care as they can handle! They are more than pets, they are family!

About: I’ve had experience with many types of animals since I could remember, which could be around 13-14 years. Our family is very animal oriented and it has been for a few generations. My great grandma raised, trained, and did dog shows with many different types of dogs. My grandma has always had animals as well as my mom. This ranges between birds, bunnies/rabbits, snakes, lizards/bearded dragons, birds, dogs, and cats. We almost like them more than people :) Pet care fits into my daily routine including every other weekend for my California king snake and bugs every other day with daily greens/fruits for the bearded dragon. 3 meals a day for the dogs, clean water for all animals, and the cats free feed expect some wet food. I can care for your pets in different ways including, of course, breakfast lunch or dinner, potty time outside on leash or back/front yard, and attention. I can also offer baths, and medication to certain animals if needed.

About: I'm Anya! I've loved animals my entire life. I believe I would be a good fit for your pet because I have experience with pets of all ages! I am looking to pursue a career in veterinary technology, meaning your pets wellness & health is very important to me! I have worked in a number of animal hospitals, including a a 24-hour emergency hospital, which has given me a lot of experience! My dog works well with others so there shouldn't be any issues boarding your pup if needed. I would also be able to take your dog to the park & play with them to make sure they get the exercise needed, or if they’re more laid back & would prefer to snooze, they would be able to do that as well. **Please let me know in advance if your pet has any aggressive tendencies. I look forward to loving & caring for your pet as if they were my own! When I am not at work, I am at home with my son. I am able to come over for walks or to play with your pet while you are away! I care for others pets as I would my own. If I am watching more than 1 at a time, I make sure they are all comfortable & happy so no one gets hurt & adjust as needed. I make sure each pet gets enough attention & love!

Elise was phenomenal! Came numerous times each day to be sure my dog had plenty of time outside, and plenty of company while I was gone so my dog wasn’t lonely. Very thoughtful and caring. Communication was exceptional. Sent lots of pics and updates. Will definitely have Elise dog walk and sit again!

About: I am an avid animal lover and have grown up with rescues my whole life! My family has always rescued animals and we have had everything from brand new kittens to hospice dogs. I have had fish, small animals like guinea pigs and hamsters, and even birds. I am more than willing and happy to help with any animals needs! I am trying to pay for my wedding so any job helps! I am currently working day shifts on Tuesday and Friday, so the rest of my week is open and available. I am getting ready for my wedding in mid April 2026, so I am pretty free! I have 3 dogs and a cat at home so I prefer clients who allow me to be at their home. I always double check leashes and collars, and make sure to have a plan in case anything were to go awry (which it won’t), but I like to be prepared!

About: I am currently a college student studying zoo and wildlife biology, and I hope to have a career in either wildlife rehabilitation or working at a zoo. I have a good amount of experience with animals; I have been around animals my whole life, my grandfather was a veterinarian, and I have been pet sitting since high school. I also worked as a kennel attendant at Augusta Valley Animal Hospital. I currently volunteer at the Humane Society and have at the SPCA as well, walking dogs and performing other tasks. I am hoping to do some pet care over the summer to earn some money and get some more experience. I will be doing an internship 3 times a week, so I am only available 4 days a week. I live a little bit out in the country, so we have some land and a private and safe road for walks. There is very little traffic, so it is a peaceful area. I have not yet hosted a client's pet in my home, but I have a lot of experience and can follow detailed instructions for your pet to provide them with the best care.

About: Hi guys! My name is Hailey, a local to the valley, and trying to survive in my 20’s. I took a break from Rover as I was finishing college, started a new dental job, and I’m ready to come back! I have had many dogs since I was 7 years old, ranging from a 7lb dog to 80lbs. I have experience with many dog breeds and ages from owning them or past dog sitting gigs and I currently have 2 dogs in the house! I’m very active and get to the gym about 4-6x a week, so I would love to take your pup on walks, play with them, and give them plenty of love! I am a huge dog lover and would love to spoil your pup. (I will also send you pictures of me and your pup and what we are doing) I am at the dental office most of the time Monday - Fridays but am free once I get off at 4. I am very flexible and am willing to work with and around my schedule to help you out :) My clients home will be in the same shape I walked into it or better! Cleaning is my therapy and I can do chores or any other help that you would like.

About: My husband and I have rescued several dogs for many years. We had 8 elderly dogs at one point in our home. We currently have 3 dogs, which are walked many times a day. I currently work close to home, and am able to stay over at a client’s home if need be. I also have two grown daughters that would love to help walk dogs or cats and take care of them, provide attention and just spend time with them playing in the house. I am very responsible, am a professional careeer woman just seeking to make a little extra money doing something I love, being with animals. I can certainly provide personal references. I am currently working full-time Monday through Friday, but I am able to pet sit or house sit after work as well as on the weekends. I prefer the dogs I sit for to have harnesses instead of collars, as they provide more security. I also do light housekeeping in the home if requested.
