House Sitting in James Store

“Linda is the best! She took pictures of our pups every day and answered my texts immediately. Our dogs were so happy to see us but easily settled down because their routine had not been disrupted”

She was able to meet all their needs including administering medication for one of them and she left the house was neat and tidy. I would definitely recommend her and would also use her again.”

“Very good dog sitter. My partner and I had a great experience with Kristyna. It was nice having the peace of mind with her watching our dog when we were out of town. She was attentive and reachable - all the qualities you would want in a good dog sitter. I would recommend Kristyna for your dog sitting needs.”

About: I’ve had experience with rescue animals in my home since my childhood. I began working as a pet sitter and dog walker (babysitter as well!) at 14, which has always been my favorite job! I was able to get a job as a kennel assistant in a veterinary clinic at 16 and worked my way up to a veterinary assistant position. I have dealt with administering medication and other veterinary procedures, and dealing with more special care required animals. I’m a college student taking online and in person courses through the local community college, so I have a pretty open schedule. Working a traditional job in college can be quite stressful, so I’m giving this a try! I have been working in other people’s homes for several years babysitting and pet sitting. I’m happy to clean dishes, take out trash, carry in mail and packages, and any other simple tasks. I always try my best to clean after myself and the fur babies each visit!

About: Hello! My name is Alyssa and I am a 20 year old college student remotely studying Psychology and Criminal Justice. I’ve had dogs and a cat since I was young and was always held accountable to take care of them! I took a Veterinary Science class in High School and dealt with animals on a daily during this course (Bunnies and Puppies.) I have recently owned hamsters and fish as well that were 100% my responsibility. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have 4 years of paid experience with pet sitting for neighbors. Animals deserve the world and I love to make a difference in their lives even if they don’t understand it :) I am also willing to negotiate pricing based off your animals energy/need for attention/etc. Please reach out to me with any additional questions and I’d be happy to answer! I am currently a college student who is taking online courses to work on getting my degree. Other than daily assignments, I have no other daily commitments and will be available 90% of the time, other than my planned unavailability on my calendar! I have a large front and back yard with plenty of room to play. I do have an indoor/outdoor cat but she keeps to herself and is never a bother. I could easily keep her separated from your pet. If in your home, I will be sure to take all the steps you request and go above and beyond to ensure you and your animals are comfortable.

“Sarah was wonderful with our spoiled kitty and dog. Took Sofie swimming and continued to send photos and update us throughout the week.”

About: I've loved animals since I was a kid and have cared for many throughout my life! I was tasked with raising my family dog since she was a puppy when I was in high school, and I helped my college roommate with her puppy! I have walked/boarded many dogs and cats since moving to Virginia! Being in the military, my coworkers travel a lot so I have become the workplace's go-to "pet auntie." I genuinely love to spoil pets and providing them with a safe and homey environment while their loved ones are out! I have a fairly flexible work schedule so I can come back to my home or to your home to take care of your pet! Early morning, lunch, and evenings are especially free, so I can work around that depending on your needs. I do not own pets, so they will be here as a single child in the case they are boarded! Crates, food, litter boxes, etc will need to be provided as I don't own those things. I have access to many parks around my neighborhood, so walkability is not an issue!

“Brook is truly the best! She watched our 3 pups and cat (all very different personalities) for our wedding weekend. She catered to all their needs without hesitation. She sent lots of pictures and had excellent communication. Brook treated them as if they were her own. Brook is very punctual, trustworthy and has the biggest heart for fur babies! I could not have asked for a better sitter during our special day! The pups loved her and so did we, she will definitely be our go to! PS THANK YOU x10000”

“Abigail and Victor were super flexible and easy to work with. They took time to do a nice meet and greet and were very prompt with their service.”

Jay H.

“Morgan was great with Frankie! She made sure she got some extra love while we were away. She also kept the house clean and was respectful. We will definitely book Morgan again.”

About: I’ve never lived a day in my life without having a dog by my side, and I can confidently say that I can’t imagine it any other way. From puppies to our older friends, I love them just like they’re my own. After many years spent with different breeds, sizes, and ages, I am also well versed in pet first aid and common health conditions. I am especially fond of senior dogs and would be honored to care for them. I have recently begun a full time job in Richmond but still petsit often since I truly enjoy it. My schedule best suits check ins with pets in the mornings or evenings. You will never have to worry about how your baby is doing. Because of my own personal (and very anxiety inducing!) experiences with being away from my boy, I am very diligent about keeping pet parents in the loop.

About: I work at Banfield in Newport News as a vet assistant. I currently have a senior dachshund named Leo who’s great with other dogs and cats. My work schedule varies month to month. I can walk dogs or take care of pets in your home if my work schedule allows, or I can board in my house (dog friendly dogs/cats or small animals). I also have years of experience medicating dogs, cats, and small animals, and can trim nails on dogs and cats. I work 10 hour shifts, 4 days a week at Banfield. It varies each week but I do get a monthly schedule each month. I usually get my monthly schedule at the beginning of the previous month I usually take my dog out every 3-4 hours to go potty while I’m home. If your dog has a routine he/she follows, let me know and I can accommodate!

“Melanie was very communicative and my dogs seemed to love her!”

“Kellee took great care of Peluche while we were in DC overnight. He was a happy boy! We are looking forward to having her back to care for him in February.”

About: I have worked with animals the past several years in different environments consisting of shelters, clinics, dog walking, and even doggy daycares! I’ve had experience with dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, turtles, and pigs! I also have experience medicating pets for those that require it. I have such a passion for animals and can’t wait to meet your fur babies! 🐾🥰 I am currently working part time remotely from home making my schedule flexible to accommodate your fur babies! I am available weekdays and most weekends. I can drop in while your at work and take your pup on an adventure walk around the neighborhood or toss the ball in the back yard and give them some loveins! ❤️ If pet sitting I can stop in multiple times a day as requested and feed, water, play, and even medicate if needed. I am very detail oriented and follow all pet care instructions. I will always send some cute pics and a detailed report after each visit to keep you informed. I know our animals are our babies and I will always treat yours as I do my own!❤️🐾
