Dog Walking Knotts Island

About: I have been taking car of all kinds of dogs for years. I've watched dogs from Labrador puppies to senior German Shepards. I've owned dogs my whole life and I've always had a special bond with them. Dogs usually gravitate towards me because I am a very fun and light hearted person. My friends often refer to me as a Disney princess because of how I am with animals. I belive all animals need love and respect and I always do my best to make them feel safe and loved. I am a nanny for a mother of three during the day but I am usually only needed two or three days a week so my weekends are completely free. Even days when I watch my kids I am off by 3pm and can spend evenings with the pets. I have several dogs of my own so my house is fully equipped with w fenced in yard and my house is pet safe. In regards to a clients home I would of course check what the client has in place but as a pet owner I am also aware pets can be sneaky and love to get into mischief. I am always checking on clients pets making sure they are safe and not getting into things they shouldn't. I am also certified in pet cpr and massage therapy incase a pet does get into distress or if they need some other help with pain. Over all my priority is always the health and safety of my client beloved pets.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve cared for both dogs and cats alike for many years. Even though I’m new to professional pet sitting, I have plenty of experience caring for my own beloved pets and ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-loved. I’m reliable, patient, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I would treat every pet with the utmost care and attention they deserve while you are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I love spending time with them and I am accustom to caring for them through my years of growing up with them. Including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate time throughout the day to give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. With my knack for attention to detail, I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay in a familiar and stress-free environment while keeping the space clean and tidy. I’m patient, attentive, and understand the importance of respecting and building trust with both pets and their owners. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, safe, and well cared for.

About: I’ve always been a dog lover. Growing up, I had three dogs that I cared for and loved like family. I treat every dog like my own and enjoy giving them the attention, love, and care they deserve. I’ve also helped watch my neighbor’s dog and loved spending time making sure they were happy and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule that makes it easy for me to provide reliable pet care, especially on weekday afternoons and weekends. I love spending time with animals and enjoy making sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away! Every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s going for walks, playing their favorite games, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get the attention they deserve. My goal is to help your pet feel relaxed and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

Neighbors in my Community relief in me to check on their puppies or walk dogs when they were working long hours at work. I’m currently a Grad student. I would be available anytime to check on dogs. My classes start in the morning, but i can be very mobile. Since school is online we can do work from anywhere . I have 2 very friendly dogs ( white lab and a cattle mix) . They are super sweet and are good dogs to help train. If they are boarded at my House I have a fenced yard and can allow them the ability to play outside or be able to relieve themselves whenever.

About: While I’m new to providing pet care professionally, I’ve been a pet owner for years and understand the love, patience, and responsibility that comes with caring for animals. I currently have two cats and a puppy, so I’m experienced with daily feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping pets on their routines. Over the past month, I’ve also been caring for pets for others, and I’ve loved building trust with both pets and their owners. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in caring hands. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I care for my own two cats and puppy every day, making sure they get fed, exercised, played with, and plenty of love and attention. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, potty breaks, and quality time with your pets. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to keep them happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special care. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident that their pet is happy and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and secure, just as if they were my own.

About: Anyone who knows me knows how much I love animals. I’ve grown up with cats, dogs, and other pets my whole life, and over the years I’ve learned to understand their unique personalities, needs, and wants. From playful and energetic to shy or reserved, I know how to adjust my approach so every pet feels comfortable, happy, and secure. Caring for animals has been a big part of my life, and I’ve gained over 14 years of hands-on experience providing attention, companionship, and reliable care that helps pets thrive. I have a lot of time on my hands and have always wanted to provide pet care, but I hadn’t had the opportunity until now. My weekly schedule is flexible, which allows me to offer consistent visits, walks, playtime, or companionship depending on each pet’s needs. I love going on walks, spending time with animals, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. This is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make it a priority to structure my time so every pet gets the attention, care, and love they deserve. I currently care for pets in two separate homes, where I share responsibilities with my family. At one home, I help care for two cats, making sure they are fed, their litter is clean, and they receive attention and companionship throughout the day. At another home, I help care for two dogs, taking them on walks, feeding them, and providing playtime and supervision. Even though I’m not the sole caregiver, I am actively involved in all aspects of their daily care and routines, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for.

I usually am up by 8am and spend most of the day with my dog while I do schooling at home. I’m mostly free of the day besides for leaving for work or getting my brother! I have a small dog who I feed, walk & play with. We do have a dog run in my apartments and I always take my dog out to play with his toys. I also love taking him for runs.

About: My name is Cait and I am excited to meet your furry friend! I have experience with pets of all shapes, ages, and sizes! While growing up a joke was that my dad had a zoo & I don’t disagree. From medication administration to cuddles and playtime I will do it all! I am currently taking time off from my nursing career while preparing for my wedding/honeymoon, so I am 100% free at this time and looking for something additional to do :) I really love going on walks and staying active, so if that is something you need I’d be happy to do rain or shine! That is if you don’t mind the smell of wet doggo😊 The only thing I ask is that you make sure their collar properly fits, I can chase but would prefer not to need to! I have done home visits in the past, and in college have stayed up to two weeks at someone’s house pet sitting. (Three cats and two big dogs, it was a heck of a time.) Though I won’t do overnights at someone’s home again, mainly because of my career, I absolutely would love to drop by for play dates or to simply let the pet out. If we talk I also may be happy for a cat to stay with me an extended time (must be fixed)! The longest time a cat has stayed with me is one month. A roommate of mine in the past had a dog with aggression issues. If this is the case with your pet I would like to meet them before providing care and have a list of things that makes them uncomfortable.

About: My name is Kayela but you can call me Kaye. I am a nurse in Virginia Beach. But my real other passion is animals. A year prior to going into human medicine, I worked in the I veterinary field as a veterinary technician/assistant. I actually had plans to go to vet school, and then Covid hit; my pathway changed a little. But I don’t want that to stop me from making a difference in the animal world. I worked in the professional veterinary field for 5 years. I worked with all breeds, species, shapes, and colors of animals. I’ve worked with large animals, small animals, diseased and disabled animals. Therefore it would no reason for me not to accept your pet. I have animals of my own as well, 1 large breed dogs and 1 domestic short hair cat. I will love your animals like my own, cuddling included. I do have an extensive history of skills related to animal care as well. If you or your family have animals questions, concerns, or just curiosity in general about your animals well being, feel free to ask! I am starting to build a small clientele currently. I am open right now. Schedule could change. But just message me and we can work something out. I care for my animals more than the average person, due to the fact that I have worked in the animal medicine field. I believe a lot of issues/illnesses are preventable based on how you care for your pet. They are treated like humans in my opinion. They deserve the same attention, the same outdoor time, the same affection. They will be fed accordingly. I will also provide food recommendations as well as portion sizes based on my assessment. You can choose to follow my recommendations or continue to follow your own advice. I believe I can be very helpful with you and your care for your pets.

About: I changed the direction my life was going and found the REASON was Animal Care. I began volunteering at 2 local Humane Societies in 2013. Very shortly thereafter became employed at both Societies = working 7 days a week with animals. I adopted my first 2 pets (torti cats named Cali & Ava) in the Fall of 2013. Adopted a 3rd torti cat in the Spring of 2014 (named Hallie B). I adopted a chihuahua in the Fall of 2016 (named Clara my grandmother’s name). With the exception of Hallie B they have all crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The 1st in December 2020 then June 2021 and most recently in May of this year :-( 🐾🐾🐾 They were adopted as Seniors. They were the best. After 4 years of Humane Society work I changed direction again in 2017 to a more professional aspect of Animal Care becoming employed at a Veterinary Hospital as a Kennel Attendant for over 7 years. I have performed a number of cat drop-ins around the Gloucester area for various residents affiliated with the Humane Society. One such assignment lasted for almost two months while the cat’s owners traveled to Florida for the winter. I currently work (outside of Animal Care) OVERNIGHT 40 hours WEDNESDAY thru SATURDAY. Those days I am usually available for Animal Care from 8am to 2pm. Sunday thru Tuesday I am totally available. There is some flexibility with my overnight work and the possibility of a little accommodation for Animal Care. I also have to spare some time for my own cat’s care. Quality. Compassionate. Care. is what I provide pets. I want them to have the creature comforts that make them feel all warm and comfy and content.

I have taken my dog on many walks and bath her weekly. I have experience taking care of a cat as well as horses! I am adept at dealing with dogs with separation anxiety, PTSD, and big personalities. I currently work full time and my schedule varies based on the week and holidays. I typically have off Tuesday, Sundays so I will be available all day those days. I am also usually off by 3 at work.
