“Carissa did a great job of encouraging a lazy dog to get outside for exercise and also challenged him with puzzle toys for mental stimulation indoors.”

About: I genuinely love animals. I am the type of person who stops everyone and asks if I can pet their dog. I do have professional training in taking care of animals; I worked at an animal rescue and a doggy daycare! I am 25 years old and I have my own transportation and will work very hard to take care of your pet! I have experience walking dogs of all ages and sizes. I also have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages. Including animals with special food requirements, feeding instructions and giving medications such as pills. I have some training in dogs with temperament issues. I also have experience in taking care of cats, fish and reptiles if needed. I just graduated with my masters degree so my schedule is all over the place, just ask me if I’m free and I’ll let you know! I have my schedule in advance normally. I have experience in crating dogs if that’s what’s required for your pet. My own dogs now are free roamers around the house so I have experience with excited or guarded animals when entering the home. I like being given clear directions so I know how to best care for your fur babies!

About: I started volunteering at the Humane Society at the age of 11, where I fell in love with caring for animals. I lived on a base where people traveled frequently and I was trusted to keep their pets safe and looked after. I now work at a dog daycare/ boarding facility as a kennel attendant, so I have the proper training to take care of your pets. I enjoy my job and have lots of love to give to animals! My schedule is very flexible. I have a two hour lunch break when I do work, and I only work part time. I am a college student and even with next semester coming up, I still will be very available. Unfortunately, I am unavaible at the moment for boarding at my house because of the pets in my household. Hopefully in the near future I will be able to!

About: As a special education teacher, I bring patience, consistency, and strong communication skills to every pet I care for. I previously owned a pit bull named Belle who had social anxiety around other dogs, which taught me how to recognize stress signals, manage walks safely, and adapt to a dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with dogs that require extra patience, structure, or a calm approach, and I prioritize safety, reliability, and positive experiences for both pets and their owners. Having the summers off, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time throughout the week to pet care. Daily walks and outdoor activity have long been part of my routine from caring for my previous dog, Belle, a pit bull who thrived on consistency and regular exercise. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I enjoy providing pets with the attention, companionship, and activity they need while their owners are away. I have the flexibility to provide attentive care and spend quality time with pets throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make an effort to learn their preferences, favorite activities, and household rules so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. My dog Belle, a pit bull, was very much a member of the family, so I understand how important it is to treat pets with the same level of care and respect. I’m also firmly in the “dogs belong on furniture” camp, so I understand that pets are family members and should be treated with love, respect, and affection. I’m happy to provide plenty of affection, playtime, and companionship along with meeting their daily needs.

About: I’ve had a medium sized dog for the past eight years. He has always been seen as “my dog,” even though he’s the household dog. I love to take him for walks everyday, car rides often, and play with/treat him! I’m a college junior home for the summer in Williamsburg, VA. I have a part time internship which only requires around 20 hours a week of me being out of the house, so my schedule is very flexible to take care of your babies! In my home specifically, I always ensure my dog is fed, comfortable, and taken care of. I treat my dog as though he has human feelings and speaks english, if you know what I mean. I walk him twice a day and take him for enriching activities often such as car rides. His health is my main priority.

About: Looking for someone to care for your dog like you would? I’m here to help! From playtime to cuddles and everything in between, your pup will be in good hands. I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs. I currently have a 6year old boxer and a 1 year old Great Dane ❤️ I work full time in the medical field. I am free weekends and weekdays I am usually off by 5:30 if I am working that day. I have a large, privacy fenced backyard. I will care for your dogs any way needed. I am comfortable with all ages and breeds. Thank you!

About: I have experience rescuing cats and dogs and administering medication. I’ve also done house sitting and pet sitting for several homes. I enjoy running and playing with dogs to keep them active and happy, and I can also help them stay calm when needed. I offer walks up to 1 hour and can safely handle up to 3 dogs at a time. I’m comfortable cleaning up after pets, changing diapers if needed, and giving medication. I work Mondays and Wednesday–Friday from 7 to 3, and Saturdays from 3 to 11pm. I’m free all day on Tuesdays and Sundays 😊 I adapt to each home and follow the owner’s preferences and routine for their pets. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or keeping their space clean. I always adjust to each pet’s personality and needs.

“Anna is absolutely amazing she came to walk my dog after getting her wisdom teeth pulled which is straight dedication joker had a great time and it really helped me out!”

About: I have fostered German Shepards in the past for 6 years. Over the years I've been the one to care for neighbors dogs, cats, horses, goats, and other types of animals. I am also a student focusing on the pre-vet track. I’m currently taking time off work and have open availability to take care of animals daily! I can stay with them all day or drop by and check on them! I have taken care of many friends pets making sure the animal has what they need. I am strong when handling multiple dogs on a leash at once.

About: I am a young professional working flexible hours at my full-time job. I grew up around lots of large, energetic rescue dogs- my family has never had less than 2 at a time! I also have experience with aggressive and special needs dogs; my parents have often adopted difficult dogs and we would rehabilitate them while adapting our lifestyles to suite their needs. I am very used to administering oral medication, cleaning up messes, taking difficult dogs for walks, and ensuring the safety of all dogs and humans involved. I currently live in an apartment, and am allowed to work from home. We have had a (very anxious) rescued Boxer, a sweet Pomeranian mix, and a very young Great Pyrenees/German Shepard puppy living with us before their various humans moved away. I have always loved dogs and used to pet-sit extensively for my neighbors before I came to college. I'm excited to meet your fur-baby :) I work flexible hours at a hybrid 9-5 desk job, so I am often home and available on weekdays and am almost always available before and after work as well. I do not have a fenced yard and my cat is not a dog guy, so unfortunately I am unable to offer home stays from my own home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. My parents taught me how to train kittens and puppies. I love to walk my neighbors’ dogs around the neighborhood and I take care of them when they go on vacation. I currently am working part time so I have plenty of time to watch your pets! I can do any time of the day or overnight, as long as I get notified a week in advance. I currently have a 6 year old yorkie who I trained when he was just 6 weeks old. He is the absolute sweetest and loves other animals. I am perfectly fine to work in any home with dogs and/or cats. I will make them happy in their home.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 12. I’ve worked on a farm caring for horses since I was a child. I’ve watched dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish for friends and neighbors. No animal is too small or large for me to love! I rescued my own dog three years ago and now have experience in R+ (positive reinforcement) training. I’d love to practice loose leash walking with your dog. I love taking my dog for long walks and hikes, if your dog likes company I’d love to take them together! I’m experienced in administering medicines, caring for puppies, and senior dogs. I work full time so I’m mostly available on weekends and weekday evenings. I have a car and can get myself anywhere in the Williamsburg area pretty easily. I’ll always do my best to make sure your pet is well taken care of. I understand dog’s body language, and am meticulous in making sure your pets needs are met.

About: Hello! My name is Tricia and I am a huge animal lover! I have cat and a dog who are very friendly and also love all animals. They enjoy having a dog around to play with and snuggle with! I work from home and am here with my 3 animals typically all day long which allows me to have time to take care of additional animals whether or not that’s here at my home or checking in at your home. I have a home with a fenced in yard. I live near many neighborhoods and the Colonial Parkway, both great for walking dogs as we love to do often. My work from home during the week is very light and I have full control of my schedule. I am able to go on walks often and play outside with my dog and any others in our fenced in yard often. I care for anyone’s animals as my own! My animals are the most important thing to me. Their safety and happiness is my top priority!

About: I have had dogs from puppies to seniors and they have all have been a part of my family. I have experience training puppies and even teaching old dogs new tricks. I have a wonderful home full of dog love. My family and I have boarded friends and neighbors dogs and they rely on feeding, bathing, walking and provide plenty of love and attention. I currently have a wonderful English Lab, so this requires me to feed, walk and play with him throughout the day. I welcome some friends to join us in this daily routine. I have a decent sized home with plenty of room. Dogs can roam freely in a safe environment and will enjoy nice walks in my small community. Water is always available from a gravity water bowl, treats available for training/tricks or just cause. Depending on how your dog sleeps at night, kennel is available or they can jump in bed with us!

About: I grew up taking care of dogs in my neighborhood as a kid and teenager. I have always had a big love for furr animals! I work a very flexible schedule during the week that allows me to have last minute changes or needs to take care of if need be! I live in a quiet apartment complex with not a lot of traffic, but lots of walking trails and a dog park that my dog Koda enjoys!

About: I've worked at a vet clinic for over two years, dealing with all different types of dogs and their needs. I've also had dogs my whole life. I’m a college student so I am not in the area during the school year. But for the rest of this summer, I am fully available! I am pre vet and I work at a vet clinic so animals are basically my entire life! I would not be able to care for pets in my home since I have two other dogs. However, I am happy to take care of the pets in your home.

About: I have cared for and owned dogs, along with many other animal/reptile friends for many years. Being involved in 4-H and FFA I have raised a variety of animals. I have two fur kids, Apollo and Astraea, ages 4 and 5 years old who love to eat, play, go hiking and nap. A crested gecko and huge freshwater aquarium call my place home as well. I can make sure your friend gets some extra attention, exercise, and even work on any training or new tricks they are learning. I moved to the area recently and began working from home allowing me some extra time to do this again :). Hope to hear from you soon! Working from home allows a pretty flexible schedule. Just need a days notice to ensure I could stop by if a specific time is needed! I am happy and comfortable assisting your friend based on whatever guidrlines you give! Just let me know what kind of care your friens needs!

“David was great with both of our dogs!”
