Pet Sitting in Linville

“So appreciative of the great care Morgan takes of our Lab, Maggie! We are having a heatwave at the moment, and Morgan thoughtfully modifies Maggie’s walks as needed to take advantage of the cooler parts of the day and finds ways to play indoors when it’s really hot. Maggie clearly loves Morgan’s visits—pictures are awesome!”

“Kat dis a drop-in with my five dogs without a ton of notice and knocked it lit of the park! The dogs seemed to be over the moon in the pictures she sent me, and all the pups were happy as could be when I got back. Thank you so much, Kay!”

“Olivia did a great job with my two senior kitties. Even giving Albuteral puffs to one of them. She gave them love and made sure to follow all my directions. The pictures she sent were great too. I totally recommend her and will use her again!”

About: I have been a cat parent for my whole life in which I have administered medication to them including eye drops, ear drops, liquid & pill oral medication. I have also grown up around dogs as well given that most of my boyfriend and friends are dog parents. I have walked their dogs before and taken care of their cats as well. I can clean litter boxes, food bowls, vomit, etc. I currently am a student at James Madison University, so message me for specific availability during the week. Additionally, I do not have class on Friday, and am mostly available during the morning and mid afternoon. I am willing to come multiple times a day and multiple days a week unless I have a prior engagement. I have an orange tabby cat that is strictly indoors to optimize his safety against potentially harmful animals, insects, and people. I care for my cat and those I have taken care of by respecting the boundaries that their owners have set regarding indoors or outside pets. I clean their food and water bowls every day before I give them food. Also, I will play with them frequently unless they do not want to engage. I believe adhering to the pet's needs as well as their owners is deeply important.

“Catherine was wonderful. She made me feel so at ease. She sent updates and photos at each visit. She was kind when I accidentally booked for the wrong time, and was flexible to return later even though it was clearly my error. Will definitely request to book with her again!”

“Eyowyn was great! She watched our kitties for 4 days and provided them with much needed care. She asked the right questions and I would definitely recommend her.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 5 years - dog walking the past 2 and cat sitting even longer. I absolutely love going on long walks, spending time outdoors and teaching dogs new tricks along the way. Your pet’s safety, happiness and routine are my top priority. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to drop in at times that are most convenient for you and your pet. Whether it’s morning, midday, or evening I am happy to accommodate your routine! I always care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel the safest and most at ease. I will follow your instructions closely to maintain routine.

“Kori went above and beyond when caring for our three cats while we were on vacation. She is very detail-oriented and takes wonderful care of any pet she meets. Thank you for everything Kori!”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have been caring for them for over 8 years. For the past 2–3 years, I’ve regularly walked dogs at my college animal shelter. My experience ranges from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a gentler touch. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets like they’re my own. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy connecting with every animal I meet. I currently work a few mornings during the week, which leaves my afternoons and evenings free to care for your pets! I’m also available on weekends for dog walking, drop-ins, or boarding. Pet care easily fits into my routine because it’s something I genuinely love and look forward to. I always prioritize comfort and safety, whether that means giving space or providing plenty of play. I’m also happy to crate your dog if that’s part of your home routine or training. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority.

“Cameron was very reliable and did a great job of updating me every day.”

About: As a sitter, I stand out by offering personalized, attentive care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I have experience in puppy traning, helping young dogs learn basic commands and proper behavior. I also have experience with walking big dogs and small dogs. I've had a dog my whole life who I have trained. My calm demeanor, attention to detail, and commitment to creating a safe, happy environment make me a reliable choice for any pet, no matter their age or special requirements. Additionally, I prioritize clear communication with pet owners, providing regular updates and photos so you can feel connected while you're away. I'm a full-time student, but I take dog-sitting seriously and I'm avaliable Thursday-Sunday to dog sit. I make sure to make time for walks, play, and feeding. I ensure pets receive regular exercise and attention, which helps maintain their health and happiness. If, needed I can incorporate short trianing sessions to reinforce good behavior and build a strong bond. I adapt my routine based on the needs of the pets I care for, whether it’s more frequent potty breaks for young pups or gentle walks for senior dogs. I provide a pet-friendly space, free from hazards, with plenty of room to play and rest. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and bathroom breaks, ensuring your pet feels secure. Playtime and affection are central, so pets get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. For pets with special needs or medications, I follow detailed instructions to ensure their health is top priority. I respect your home and your pet’s established routine, making sure they remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I bring my own pet-sitting essentials but ensure all of your pet's favorite toys, bedding, and treats are used. I provide updates, photos, and videos so you can stay connected with your pet while you're away.

When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all owner instructions carefully—from feeding schedules to medication dosages—to ensure consistency and well-being. I always secure doors, windows, and any potential hazards to create a safe environment. As for staying in my home, I unfortunately cannot have other pets coming and staying with me, due to the amount of allergies in my household and my older dog that is living with me

I like to create an environment for pets where they feel comfortable and relaxed. I love giving them lots of toys and playing with them, but knowing when to give them space or let them nap. I also love taking them on long walks or just giving them lots of pets :)
