About: I am trained in Fear-Free and worked at an animal shelter for 3 years. You can rely on me to give medicine and provide typical daily care such as ear cleaning and nail trimming if desired. In addition, I will walk your pet as needed and provide socialization and enrichment. I am a mom of 2 dogs and 4 cats in addition to my own children. My furbabies are always taken care of as soon as I wake in the morning and multiple times throughout the day. I have high expectations for the care of my own pets that I will carry over into the care of any pets in my care. I will provide the care and love you want for your pet while they are being cared for by me. They will receive top-notch love and oversight in their own environment so that they can feel comfortable and at ease.

About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I wait to begin my career as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant in late August. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾

“So appreciate her patience with our older dog! Randi is exceptionally seasoned at caring for our grumpy pup. Highly recommend her skilled care.”

“Michael is heaven sent. My boy, Weitzman, is a senior special needs pup. He needs a great deal of care and attention and not just any sitter is willing to take on the extra attention and work that’s needed. Michael enthusiastically has bonded with Weitzman and is giving Weitzman the close attention and care he needs. As a result, I have peace of mind that my baby is doing well, is safe, and is being properly cared for. I highly recommend Michael. He wants to get to know what your fur baby’s needs are so he can take good care of them. Thank you Michael for looking after my boy!”

There was a throw up accident in his crate and she maintained amazing communication and cleaned everything up so well ensuring my house was left in wonderful condition! She sent wonderful pictures and my puppy had so much fun during the visit! I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter! :)”

“John(Jack) has been awesome to our pup, Pickle. We work out of town a few days a week and he is always prompt and knows how to keep Pickle happy and worn out! Pickle’s mood has improved drastically since he’s been doing his checkins with her. Cannot recommend him enough!”

“Jazmine did an amazing job watching our 11 year old chocolate lab. She was always right on time, gave great updates, and (at our request) spent extra time with him at her discretion. She was such a reliable and inviting person, and it made our vacation so much more enjoyable knowing our lab was taken care of! We will definitely be using Jazmine from here on out!”

About: Hi! I’m a 24 year old Virginia Tech graduate looking to make the most out of my career by sharing my love to others’ fur babies. I have a degree in animal & poultry sciences. I’ve worked at a veterinary clinic as an assistant, as well as a kennel tech & adoption coordinator for animal control. If you’re going out of town or just need someone to watch your babies for a bit don’t hesitate to contact me! I will send lots of updates and pictures. I have lots of experience in animal handling & husbandry, as well as behavior. Comfortable with a wide variety of species & breeds. I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is pretty flexible! My busiest days are Friday & Saturday at the moment. Available for early morning visits, afternoon, and evening. My currently have a small house so limiting boarding, more comfortable for a crate-trained smaller dog - as I have 4 cats. I am comfortable with doing check-in’s and popping in for walks & play/feeding so that your fur babies’ routine isn’t interrupted.

“Chloe is terrific! She came out for a meet-and-greet before my scheduled stay and I could immediately tell she is experienced with animals (and my kitties loved her)! She sent great updates and loads of pictures while I was away, giving me complete confidence that my cats were in good hands. I will definitely book Chloe again and I highly recommend her.”
