About: Hi, I’m Katherin. I live in the countryside with my husband, our Great Dane, two cats, and a flock of eight chickens. Animals are a big part of my everyday life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I also enjoy gardening, spending time in nature, and being surrounded by animals—whether I’m at home or helping care for yours. Growing up, pets were always part of my family, and my very first job as a kid was pet sitting for neighbors. Since then, I’ve continued caring for animals of all kinds—my own dogs and cats, as well as those of friends and family. I’ve had the pleasure of looking after pets ranging from tiny Yorkshire Terriers to gentle Great Danes, and I’m experienced in administering medication and providing senior pet care. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I’m not working another job, so I can dedicate plenty of time to your pets—and eventually, I hope to make pet sitting my full-time work! When I’m house sitting, please note that my husband works a 12-hour rotating shift—three days one week and four days the next. On the days he’s working, I’ll need to return home briefly to care for my own pets. During that time, I’d be away from your home for no more than 6 hours. Your pets’ comfort and well-being are always my top priority, and I’ll make sure they’re settled and cared for before stepping out. A few years ago, my husband and I used Rover for the first time, and I know firsthand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pets in someone else's care. Fortunately, it turned out to be a wonderful experience—our sitter kept us updated with messages and photos, and we came home to happy, relaxed pets. That peace of mind was truly priceless. I carry that experience with me every time I care for someone’s pets. I’m committed to providing a safe, trustworthy, and stress-free environment, just like I’d want for my own animals. Regular updates, clear communication, and attentive care are all part of how I help you feel confident and comfortable while you're away.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love and personal experience with animals, including dogs and cats from my family and close connections. I treat every pet like my own, paying close attention to their unique needs to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m reliable, responsible, and patient—qualities that help pets feel safe and relaxed in my care. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a calm older cat, I adapt my approach to make sure each pet has a positive and loving experience I have a flexible schedule thanks to my remote startup business, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to pet sitting. This flexibility means I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether it’s daily visits, overnight stays, or extended boarding. You can count on me to be available and attentive to your pet’s routine and needs. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and happy. I provide plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention tailored to each pet’s personality and energy level. I stick to their regular feeding, walking, and medication schedules to maintain consistency. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I treat their space with respect and follow all care instructions closely. I make sure pets stick to their usual routines and keep their environment clean and secure. Whether in my home or theirs, my goal is always to ensure pets feel loved, safe, and comfortable.

“Zeigh has been extremely prompt and reliable in walking our dog 3x per week. Our dog has some special needs and she has been patient and accommodating to building a relationship with him. Thank you!”


About: With over 50 years of pet ownership and caretaking experience as a foster through Lab Rescue of Greater Richmond, I would treat your furry friends as my own. I’ve had both dogs and cats and am comfortable administering medications and working with pets of all ages. As a retiree with no pets of my own at the moment, it’d be a great joy to take care of yours. I’m fully retired so I have plenty of time available to devote to the care and well-being of your pets. I’m happy to do scheduled drop-in visits during the day or overnights if needed throughout Augusta County. As a former foster parent, I have worked with dogs of varying comfort levels and special needs. I would take care of your pets with the same level of care and support as my own. I’m just as happy to go on a nice walk as I am to be a couch potato - whatever your pet needs, I’m here for them.

About: I am a social worker by trade, and currently I am professor at two local colleges. I also write books and and do photography. I specialize in social psychology and I am intuitive to human and animal needs. As mentioned, I am an adjunct professor, write, and do photography. As such I have free time to care for your pet daily and at various times. I have always cared for my pets like family (and some may argue a little better, lol). I have a SUV and know different locations to walk your pet, or I can walk them locally. I also love cats and can spend time in your home playing with with them and the infamous red dot or other toys. I am also familiar with all types of animals and can care for your farm animals and other in door animals.

About: I grew up taking care of our pets, taking care of family/friends pets. I have had a senior dog five years and counting. I have had a German Shepherd two years and counting. I'm currently working part time. So, I have some flexibility and plenty of time to love on your fur baby! My schedule is an usual of Mon, Wed, and Thurs being available after 2PM. Tuesdays I will be available anytime. Weekends will vary but we would love some extra company while we are at home. I have a fenced in backyard where the babes can free run. I have two dogs to keep your fur baby company. We love to go on walks around the neighborhood or at our property. We love to snuggle on the couch. We also have a crate if necessary for any dog size.

About: I’ve been around dogs, cats, and even farm animals since I was very young. I worked as a kennel technician at a vet in college, so I have plenty of experience with animals, as well as administering medication. I grew up helping my parents out at their doggy daycare and boarding facility. Friends and family always give me a call when they need someone to watch their furry friends! I am currently a student, so I have lots of free time throughout the days during the week, as well as weekends to take your pups on walks, or pop in when needed to check on your feline friends. I am very passionate about making sure your furry friend is happy and relaxed when I arrive at your home. I will ensure your pup/cat has everything they need to keep them happy throughout the day.

About: Welcome to my profile! I have been caring for + rehabilitating animals into thriving health my entire life. Having grown up with dogs, cats, chickens, and wild animals, I understand that our furry friends are members of the family and need the highest level of care possible. I have experience walking and caring for dogs and cats of any size and age. When on walks or caring for pets, I am committed to giving them my undivided attention (no texting and walking!) and treat them as I would my own. Happy to accommodate for animals with special needs. I live on a large property and am able to provide animals with an abundance of exercise, fresh air, and activity! Thorough walks guaranteed. A tired dog is a happy dog!

I can offer consistent exercise for your animal friends, as well.

About: I have taken care of many of my friends pets, both dogs and cats and when I didn't have a pet of my own, would often borrow one! They make life so much better! Two of my references can give you first hand information about how much I loved and cared for their dogs. I work a 40 hour week in Waynesboro and depending on location of the pet, can do drop in visits before and after work and sometimes during the day (if local). I can come to your home or your dog can come to mine. I am not opposed to overnight stays. Your pet will be treated as if my own and with as much love and care as they can handle! They are more than pets, they are family!

About: My dog-sitting history is primarily dogs with a variety of health issues and idiosyncrasies. Does your dog have special needs or odd habits? I've got it covered!
