About: Hello! My name is Bianca. I have always loved and had a connection to all sorts of animals. I have nearly 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and rodents. I currently have 2 fur babies (Oden & Luna), a crested gecko named Biscotti, and a tree frog named Ice Ferg Slim. I currently have a remote job where I make my own hours, this allows me the flexibility to care for your pet without rushing. I can be available as early as 6am or as late as 9pm. Don't worry about my babies, my fiancé works from home full time as well so they are never without love and care! When visiting your home, I will be sure to follow any provided instructions. For your cats, I can provide drop-in food and water, play time, and cuddles (if your cat likes). For your dogs, I am comfortable with feeding and giving clean water, providing exercise and/or playing their favorite games, brushing, cleaning off paws, using a crate, or any other requests. I am very comfortable with walking/playing with big dogs too (rottweilers are my fav)! While taking care of your baby, I will treat them as my own and will ensure that their environment is clean, safe and secure after each visit.
About: I have been a professional dog trainer for over 8 years now and I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals of all breeds, sizes and ages! I currently work from home and I have the ability to create my own schedule! I am available weekends and weekdays. My schedule is pretty flexible! I have a full fenced in yard about 1 acre. I do have personal dogs of my own and one cat. I normally don’t do interactions with my personal pets just as precaution and to keep everyone safe! I can crate your dog if needed as well!
“Christina is fantastic! Quick to respond and very friendly. She sent lots of photos and kept me updated during the visit. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I'm Kimberly, a dedicated pet sitter with extensive experience in animal care. I ensure your pets receive love, attention, and safety, promoting their happiness while you’re away. Trust me to keep your furry friends happy and healthy! Pet sitting offers me flexibility to manage my schedule, allowing me to customize services for pet owners while ensuring every pet receives the love and attention they need. I prioritize safety by ensuring secure environments during walks and in clients' homes, using proper equipment, observing pet behavior, and staying vigilant to prevent any potential hazards.

About: Growing up my family always had at least one or more pets of various breeds so I have 20+ years of experience around animals. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, lizards, rabbits, goats, and hedgehogs. Personally, my husband & I have 2 dogs currently, 9 & 10 years old, one having epilepsy & is dependent on medication. I have helped raise/care for/train puppies, kittens, baby rabbits, & baby goats. The only pet I'm not comfortable with is snakes, my little sister has one but I only look at it from 3ft away in its enclosure, haha. I work part time Tu/W/Th 8A - 5P, I do not mind caring for pets those days, however I will be gone all day. Otherwise, I'm available for your pets needs! My personal routine with my pets: My husband helps me care for our pets daily but his schedule is a bit different than mine, so our dogs are let out at least within 4-6 hours those days. Otherwise, we let them out every 2-4 depending on their needs (which they have been trained to lets us know if they need to go sooner). Our medical dog is on a 12 hr medication schedule. I'd prefer to care in my clients home due to one of my dogs having a reactive past, it was quite a transition when we inherited our other dog. If you have a specific routine, I'm ready to follow it to the T! I'm comfortable walking dogs on leash, hanging out/playing with them in a fenced yard, or just chilling inside. As mentioned, I have experience with medically dependent pets. I have an escape artist, so I'm always vigilant of their proximity to me and prepared to run/chase in the event something happens. I can stay at the home with the pets or I can visit throughout the day!
“Lauren was great. Super friendly and could tell she truely cared about taking care of our dog and 2 cats. She sent pictures and updates and asked questions to make sure she was doing everything right. She was accommodating with a more last minute booking to house sit for a weekend. Would definitely reccomend Lauren!”

“Ada house sat my dog who was both diabetic and recovering from bronchitis which required shots and other medications twice a day. She not only cared for MMO’s medical needs but provided emotional support for him in my absence. She sent pictures and conducted a River video chat with me to ensure not only Momo’s emotional support but for mine as well. I felt confident my beloved pet was in good hands.”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles and a broad range of animals from a little girl. neighbors have always trusted me to watch their babies and treat them with the upmost care. I have experience feeding, training, walking, grooming and transporting pets ranging of all ages. As a Licensed Veterinary Technician and animal lover, you can trust your pets in my hands with my education and passion to grow. I am currently looking to fill my schedule outside my four day work week to spend with more furry friends doing what I love ! I own a young large breed dog and a small geriatric cat, therefore routine is absolutely necessary, from feeding to administering medication and grooming I cover all areas as a Licensed Veterinary Technician.

About: I have lived with dogs my whole life and am comfortable with all sizes and breeds, as well as cats. I am a collegiate soccer player, so any activity level is no problem for me! I have about 5 years of experience house and pet-sitting for neighbors and family friends. I am comfortable giving pets medication and taking them for long runs/walks. I am currently taking two online courses at Virginia Wesleyan University over the summer. I have responsibilities to practice and stay fit for the women's soccer team. I am free every day of the week aside from a few travelling trips and will devote all of my attention to your animals! I will be sure to provide the utmost standard of care to my client's homes and pets. No task is too much. Beyond caring for the animals, I can aid in chores and house upkeep. No pet will be put in an unsafe situation or made to feel stressed out under my watch.
“Jenny was wonderful!!! My two pups normally take a bit to warmup to new people but at the meet and greet they both clearly showed a liking to her. Jenny watched my pups in my home and messaged me several times a day and sent pics to let me know how things were going. This was very comforting for someone like me, with having anxiety with leaving them. My house was as clean as I left it, and I was very grateful that she brought in my packages as they were delivered. I would recommend Jenny, we will definitely be asking her to watch our pups again!!! Thank you so much Jenny, for easing my mind with my sweet babies and taking such great care of them😊!!!”

“Caitlynn was great, she came on short notice and was polite, very clean and was very communicative and sent me lots of pictures and updates. The pups were clearly well taken care of and I will use her again for sure.”

About: I’ve taken care of many pets before including dogs, cats, and birds. I love animals and have 2 cats of my own. I have also house/pet sit for my family and many family friends in the neighborhood I grew up in. I’m currently doing school and working a part time job, however my schedule is very flexible outside of that, I usually have free time in the mornings and evenings I have 2 cats and play with them every day, they are indoor cats but love going outside. When I dog sit for my family and family friends, they let me stay at their house most of the time. I take the dog(s) on long walks (if needed) 3/4 times a day and spend as much time as I can with them. I never put the dog(s) in their crates when I’m at the house and usually let the dog(s) sleep with me.
About: I’m 66 but I’m a young 66 year old women. I’d be honored to take care of your pets! I’d take care of them as if they were my own! I’ve had pets all my life (cats, dogs, and etc) I’m currently available at all times and everyday! I have my own transportation. I can always leave at any time to do a drop in for your pet! Night or day! I will follow your instructions closely and obey your house rules. I have many experiences with house sitting and pet sitting and pet sitting within my own home!
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and caring for pets has been a part of my life for years. From playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience, I know how to adjust my care to fit each pet’s personality and needs. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, administering medications, crate training, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. Friends and family often rely on me to watch their dogs and cats, and I treat every animal like they’re my own—plenty of cuddles, playtime, and attention included! Whether your pet is full of energy or just enjoys lounging around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times. Pet care is just a natural part of my day. I’m used to building my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love. I make sure pets get their exercise, attention, and cuddles every single day, because I know how much those little things matter. Each week, I also set time aside for things like brushing, extra play, or whatever makes them happiest. Taking care of animals doesn’t feel like a chore to me — it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to. I care for pets like they’re part of the family! In my home, they’ll have a safe, cozy space with plenty of love, playtime, and snuggles. In your home, I follow their normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for—whether that’s walks, meals, meds, or cuddle time. Every pet is unique, and I make sure they get the attention and affection they deserve. 💕🐾
“Chelsea is an amazing and professional dog sitter. She made the extra effort to gain our rescue dog’s trust before we left town with get to know visits. While we were gone she gave regular updates and photos. I always felt confident and secure leaving our dogs in her care. She is transparent and trustworthy. My dogs were secure and happy on our return.”

About: I've grown up caring for a variety of animals in my home as well as working with various shelters like RSPCA and BARK over the years. I love all creatures and adore catering to each animal. I value unique care based on each fur baby's personality and needs. My schedule is quite flexible currently! I can take same day bookings. Currently, I work with animals in between talent bookings as a SAG actress. I'm basically a stay at home mom who loves fur babies. In my own home I am on the third floor so, walking and potty breaks are around my complex. Theyre strict about breeds here unfortunately, but that also limits other dog exposure(if your doggie baby happens to not enjoy other dogs). I do currently have one 2 year old calico cat in home. She is shy and sweet. I additionally have a son who is happy to have fur baby guests and responsible about pet safety as well.
