About: I’ve always had pets in my home growing up and have a special place in my heart for dogs especially. I worked in a doggy daycare/boarding setting before for a while and absolutely loved it. I’ve taken care of neighbors pets throughout the years as well. I currently have a 10 year old lab mix and 10 month old mix as well and they both love playing and making new friends! I absolutely love life with dogs and would be so happy to help take care of your furr baby/babies :) I have lots of availability right now and am free to do overnight stays most days of the week and can do just daycare or potty breaks almost any day! I have a big fenced in yard and two of my own furr babies who are both friendly and love to play! I can easily crate or separate your pup if needed though!

About: Growing up with large breeds (Bernese Mountain Dog & German Shepard), I’ve always been a lover of all pets, especially dogs. Since relocating to Blacksburg area for work 7 years ago, I’ve pet sat for a variety of animals in the region, ranging from puppies to senior dogs with specific medical needs. It would be an honor to meet and care for your pets! I work full time at VT (a few days are remote/week) and part time at a brewery, although both schedules are quite flexible. I am happy to adjust schedules or remote days to meet your pets needs! I don’t have any pets in my current home, so I’m flexible to either board at my townhouse or stay at the pets home! I offer both options to all families and willing to drive up to an hour distance.

About: I've spent years working in rescues, boarding facilities, and veterinary clinics, giving me hands-on experience with pets of every age, temperament, and medical need. These roles taught me to provide calm, compassionate care, especially for seniors, special-needs/disabled pets, and those who need a little extra patience. I'm confident, attentive, and committed to making every pet (and owner) feel safe, understood, and supported. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly schedule, and I make it a priority. I'm consistently available on Tuesdays, and from Friday afternoons until Monday mornings. I can also take additional bookings as my schedule allows, depending on distance. I'm flexible, communicative, and always willing to work with clients to find a time that fits their needs. In your home, I follow your pet's normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I handle feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box maintenance or potty breaks, medications, and any special needs or mobility support. I'm gentle, patient, and attentive, making sure your pet gets companionship, enrichment, and supervision while you're away. I also keep your home tidy, update you regularly, and ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for at all times.

About: I have over 500 hours of dog watching and raising experience (outside of my own pets) and spent over 800 hours volunteering cat care for kittens and disabled kitties I am a grad student with a totally flexible schedule and can work from home easily if needed! I will be able to incorporate your pet into my routine seamlessly. I also have the ability to fully care for your pet at their own home.

About: Hello! My name is Tessa. 🐾 Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember & caring for them is truly second nature to me. ❤️ From playful puppies or curious kittens.. to gentle senior pets. I’ve loved & looked after them all: including birds, fish & reptiles! What I’ve learned over the years is simple, every pet has their own personality & they deserve care that fits who they are! Some pets need extra play & energy while others just want a calm, reassuring presence. I pride myself on tuning in to what your pet needs the most. Whether that’s belly rubs, long walks or a quiet snuggle. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone new. That’s why I treat every pet like they’re my own. Patience, reliability & plenty of love are top priority! You can count on me to keep your pet safe, happy & comfortable while you’re away. Whether you have a bouncy pup or a sweet senior cat, I’d love the chance to give them the care & attention they deserve! As a dedicated parent myself, i understand the true importance of routine & reliability! Currently I am available weekdays ( Monday through Friday ) for dog walks or drop-ins during the daytime. This schedule allows me to give your pets consistency & focused attention while you’re at work or running errands! You can count on me to be punctual, caring & fully present for every visit: whether your pup needs a midday energy burn or some company while you’re away, i’m here to help! When caring for your pets, safety & trust is KEY 🌟 I treat every animal like family as if they were my own: making sure they are secure, comfortable & most importantly.. stress-free at all times! I pay close attention to their behaviors ( good & bad ) routines & their surrounding environment to ensure that they feel safe & happy whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home! Building trust with both pets & their people is a top priority of mine as I believe in open communication, gentle handling & creating a calm, positive atmosphere during every visit!

About: I've had many years of experience between keeping my own animals as well as house sitting or just dropping in to check on your pets! I also offer the same service for reptiles! Preferably would like to service closer to Wytheville but will travel in some cases, extra fees will apply depending on distance! I currently have a full time job but I am looking to quit so I can focus on doing nails and going to school part time for that but I need a side hustle! I live in a school bus so I don't really have tons of room to take care of pets there but I am more than willing to come to their homes, I'd prefer that the pet is comfortable as possible and I cannot stay overnight in a home but I can stay as long as needed to make sure the care requirements are met

“Madison took care of both of our dogs while we were staying at Claytor Lake State Park. She came over twice during the day and even did a meet and greet the night before. She loves dogs and took great care of our Penny and Lucy. We would definitely use her again and would recommend her to anybody. One of our dogs is human-shy and she warmed up right away to Madison!”

About: Hello, I am Molly and I'm a highly active 26 year old. I have grown up with dogs and have over 10 years experience of pet sitting. I love being outside and exploring new parks with my dog whenever I get the chance. In the past I have taken care of puppies as well as older dogs and understand the different care they need. Some services I have provided are walks both around the neighborhood as well at local parks, car rides, giving medications and baths. I am generally able to provide care for your fur child on short notice. I prefer overnight stays but I am able to do drop ins and walks a few times a day preferably in the mornings, evenings or at night. I look forward to keeping your dog as happy as possible while you’re away!

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I have had chickens for about 7 years and 4 dogs for over 15 years. I also have some experience with other animals as well. I grew up with three German shepherds and a crazy hyper Jack Russell. We bred our two german shepherds and kept one puppy from the litter so I do have experience with puppies and the patience to take care of them. The two shepherds I grew up with passed away due to sicknesses so I also have experience taking care of sick dogs and giving them the extra special care they need! I have also taken care of friends pets numerous times. I have always had a love for caring for animals and getting to spend quality time with them. Growing up surrounded by all sorts of pets has given me the skills of patience and how to give the correct care and attention each specific pet needs. I’m currently in school for the medical field and have a pretty full schedule in the mornings during the week. But I have a clear schedule Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and am available in the afternoons during the week. I live in the countryside with many acres of open land so I have plenty of space your pets can roam around, play, and not have to worry about keeping them on a leash when they are being watched. If my client is not comfortable with letting them go without a leash I also have an extremely large fenced in area that small dogs to large dogs cannot get out of. I do have a Jack Russell who is old so I keep other animals away from her to make sure she is safe and not at risk of being hurt since she is older. I also have a German shepherd and she is all love and cuddles and enjoys play time with other dogs and would love another furry friend to play with!

About: I’m a trusted pet sitter with a lifetime of experience caring for animals of all sizes. From energetic puppies needing extra playtime and long walks to senior dogs who prefer gentle care and snuggles, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs. My family has owned dogs of all sizes, and I’ve also cared for birds, fish, and even plants while owners are away. As a college student without a pet of my own, I’m excited for every opportunity to give your pets the love, attention, and exercise they deserve—whether it’s a walk, hike, run, or simply keeping them comfortable and happy at home! I am currently a second semester senior at Virginia Tech so I have plenty of time during the week and some weekends (mornings and afternoons preferred) to play, walk, and hang with your pups! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I ensure they feel safe and comfortable by maintaining their usual routines. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, and give them plenty of love and attention. For energetic pets, I include walks, playtime, or outdoor activities, while more calm pets get the gentle care and companionship they need. I also keep the home tidy, respect the client’s space, and send regular updates with photos, so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Growing up, I have done pet and house sitting in various cities and situations. I come from a family of animal lovers: my mom won't even kill a house insect, and her mom has been know to adopt cats, birds, and even the occasional squirrel! We have no dogs of our own at this point, but I love to watch other peoples' dogs to scratch that canine itch (preferrably behind the ears! 😄) I am a home body with two little ones that are yet to be in school. I will probably be home most of the time your pet is here. We have an unfenced yard with caged chickens, quails, and goats. As a family, we spend lots of time outside and on walks, so your pet will get plenty of time to excercise.

About: My home is where I tell people "they have me trained well". I love all animals and believe they deserve the best of treatment as they give to us so unconditionally. Any animal in our household is taken care of as they are our children. Our older dog was raised to be kind to smaller animals and seems to think anything smaller than him is his to take care of. We taught this by stroking gently and telling him to "be nice" this is just a "baby". Animals are never hit or disciplined by any harsh means, we reinforce good behavior. Our dogs get brushed every night around 7:00 and remind us if we miss the time and we treat them to a small snack every evening around 8:30 which they know also.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats of all sizes for years. I started working with all kinds of animals at 16 working at a family owned pet shop and have been pet sitting since! Whether it be walking, bathing, special care or meds, no animal is too much. I have a flexible schedule, only need a few days notice for sitting. Send me a message and I’m more than happy to work something out around your schedule! I provide lotssss of picture updates, plenty of playtime and enrichment, and can tailor my car to the needs of the pet if needed. Please reach out if you have any questions!

About: I’ve had a pet since I can remember and love them! I love taking care of them as they take care of me. I’ve had fish, cats, dogs, a hamster, and even a ferret named squirrel. I have always loved animals and I think the world is a good place because of them. I have five siblings And I’m the youngest. I usually have a smile on my face even when others can’t. I love taking dogs/cats for walks and getting fresh air. I love playing with pets and loving them like they’re my own. I have a big family of pet lovers and so I think that is where I get it from! I am still in school, so I will have to work around that schedule
