“Allison was beyond amazing with our boys! We’re new to the area and needed to find someone on fairly short notice. She went above and beyond to provide updates on their wellbeing every day. One of our pups suffers some pretty serious anxiety around new people and absolutely adores her. 100/10 cannot recommend her enough!”

About: Ever since I was born I had an animal right by my side . I have learned to take care of animals and provide for them. I have taken care of friends, family and neighbors pets in the past. I also have worked at a dog daycare called tail chasers so I have experience with big dog groups. I’m good with cats as well . I’m experienced with walking multiple dogs at a time because I got 3 myself. I’m currently working 3:30 am to 12:00 pm so I will have plenty time to spend with your animals. I’m free on the weekends as well . Willing to come to your place to house sit and take care of your animals. I have done that in the past for people. Willing to also stop by and give water, food and walks with some play time on the side .

“Amberly was amazing! She stay at our house for a 10 day trip, and she took great care of my 2 dogs. She communicated very well and sent me photos. My dogs are my life, so it was so nice not having to worry about them while we were gone! ❤️”

About: I was responsible for caring for my childhood senior dog. She was a small chihuahua mix that I was responsible for walking, feeding and giving oral medications. I also cared for a family friend’s two German Shorthaired Pointer’s for a week. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, crating and administering oral medications! I currently work full-time but have a flexible schedule that allows me to check-in on pets during the morning and evening. However, I can provide longer check-ins during the weekend and have no standing/recurring commitments during the weekend. As someone who has owned pets before, I am well aware of the safety precautions needed. I make sure that my home is pet-proof by making sure my plants are out of reach and any dangerous chemicals. I also have experience with crating dogs.

About: I just love dogs! But what sets me apart is my hands-on experience training puppies and caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I have personally trained puppies, teaching them basic commands and good behavior with patience and consistency. Living with my own 120-pound Great Pyrenees and my family’s 140-pound Great Dane has given me valuable experience handling large breeds with care and confidence. I’m also skilled in administering medication, ensuring pets get the care they need. My dedication and experience make me a trustworthy sitter for your furry family members. In addition to my services, i am happy to switch rates to something you are more comfortable with and talk about other times as well! Monday and Wednesday from 6 AM to 1:30 PM and 6 PM to 10 PM, Tuesday from 12:30 PM to 10 PM, Thursday from 10 AM to 10 PM, and all day Friday. I can be flexible tho! Unfortunately, I am unable to care for pets in my home this year. However, when caring for pets in your home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine, while being very clean and organized. I will not disturb your house at all, ensuring a calm and respectful environment for both your pet and your home.

“Becca was great! Kept us updated every day and even slept on the couch one night with our baby after our dog got up in the middle of the night needing to potty the night before. Would recommend highly and would use again!”

About: I have over a decade of experience caring for a wide arrange of dog temperaments: particularly active, aging, dog reactive, and sick animals. Am ready and able to take care of dogs with variety of and needs! I’m currently working full time in Blacksburg from 8:30-4:00, but am available every night after then and weekends! If nearby, I can also carve out 30 minutes to care for your animal during my lunch breaks and in the mornings. I am free to work around 14 hours a week, approximately 2 hours on weekdays and more as needed! I provide compassionate, loving care to animals. I am detail oriented and follow instruction well, and am willing to adjust my schedule and routines in order to suit your pet’s needs. I believe animals thrive on a structured schedule, and will do my best to maintain the same routine when you are home.

About: I have taken care of dogs within my household for 15 years now, with the additional walking & house sitting for neighbors! I recently started pet walking & sitting in Blacksburg this year and have had such a blast! As an incoming vet student this fall, I will bring an expertise and view that will be beneficial for the pet in their environment and for the owners. I am so motivated to support owners with their schedules by sitting or walking! I’m currently working part-time throughout the summer, and have time within the day to complete walks for your pets! I am also available to pet sit in-home for you if needed; preferably not Monday-Wednesday, but I am flexible! I always start off my sessions with building a connection with the pet prior. If possible, I like to meet prior to needing my services to socialize myself with the pet, so that trust can be gained. Once this is done, I love to play with the pets and cuddle them so that they feel secure! I love taking photos of the pets during walks to send to the owners, as this reassures them!

“I was amazed at how quickly Chauncey (our rescue dachsshnd) warmed up the Nancye. She has this innate ability to know a dog and his needs, placing that as top priority. She texted with pictures often, I left home for a much needed few days away without a worry at all. HIGHLY recommend and feel sure we'll want Nancye to pet/house sit for us again--SOON!”

Weekly, I walk dogs, conduct training sessions when requested, and provide overnight or extended care. Communication with pet owners is a priority, and I remain flexible to accommodate special requests or changes. Pet care is not just a job, but a passion and lifestyle dedicated to the well-being and happiness of pets. I provide care for pets both in my own home and in my clients' homes.

I also make sure they have access to food, water, and toys to keep them entertained. Regular exercise and playtime are important to keep pets happy and healthy, so I make sure to engage them in activities they enjoy. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I follow their specific instructions and routines to maintain familiarity and minimize stress for the pets. This includes feeding them according to their usual schedule, administering any necessary medications, and providing them with companionship and attention. I make sure to keep their living spaces clean and tidy, including regularly cleaning litter boxes, cages, or any other designated areas. In both settings, I prioritize the well-being and safety of the pets. This involves monitoring their behavior and health, and promptly addressing any issues or concerns. I also maintain open and regular communication with the pet owners, providing updates on their pets' well-being and addressing any special requirements or requests they may have. Overall, my goal is to provide a loving and comfortable environment for pets, whether it is in my own home or in the homes of my clients.

“Savannah did an outstanding job caring for all of our pets. She handled our two large, high energy dogs with confidence and made sure they got plenty of exercise and attention. We were especially impressed with how quickly our typically shy cat warmed up to her and even started playing, which is very rare. It was clear that Savannah genuinely cares for them. We highly recommend her and will definitely be reaching out again in the future.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all ages and understand how to meet their unique needs! Whether it’s a playful puppy in training stages or supporting a senior pup with extra love and patience. I’m dependable, caring, and always focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I'm a lifelong dog lover, and have had experience taking care of my own 4 pups! Along with sitting for family and friends over the years. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I currently have a part-time job at Montgomery hospital and attend Radford University during the school year, but I still have plenty of availability outside of classes. A majority of my classes are done by 11 am. And Wednesdays are my busiest/fullest days. I enjoy spending my free time with animals, and I’m great at balancing my responsibilities while making sure pets get the attention and care they need! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to follow their usual routines to help the pet feel safe and comfortable. I give lots of attention, playtime, and care, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions! Whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or favorite walking routes. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.

“Caroline did an amazing job watching our pup while we were away for the day on short notice! She did a great job of sending photos and updates throughout the day! I would definitely recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a sitter! We will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
