House Sitting in Lone Fountain

“Katherin was wonderful and took great care of Roxy. She is not the easiest dog with her anxiety and quirks, but Katherin was so patient with her and went above and beyond going the extra mile making her feel comfortable and getting her to eat as she usually doesn’t eat much when we leave her. She provided daily pictures and updates which made me not worry about her as this was the first time she was cared for other than a family member. I will definitely use her services again!”

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! Normies welcome too. ;) I work full time during the week, so I'm available weekends if you need me during the day or I can lend my services on weekdays evenings/mornings depending on proximity. I'm religious about monitoring doors and making sure everyone is appropriately harnessed/leashed. I have experience administering topical and oral medications and can maintain time-sensitive care schedules.

“Lydia was phenomenal! She kept us up to date on our pups, and I could tell they really enjoyed being around her! Will absolutely book with her again!”

“Pam was a great dog sitter! She saved us! At the last minute, a Rover sitter canceled and I contacted Pam and she immediately came over and agreed to watch the dogs. I knew they were in good hands when I met her. She is kind and sent pictures while we were away. Pam we really appreciate you!”

About: As a true animal lover who misses her pets while away at school, I’m excited to offer hands-on care for a wide range of animal companions. I’ve raised cats, dogs, rabbits, and chickens, and I also work closely with the animal lab at the Science Museum of Virginia in my hometown of Richmond. There, I care for reptiles, amphibians, fish, and even arachnids, giving me both the compassion and confidence to care for exotic pets of all kinds. I’m a full time student at JMU, with classes M-Th, I am offering all day/as needed care on weekends starting Friday after 1pm. I am open to drop-ins and walks after 6pm weekdays, except Tuesday. Being that I’m a student, I do not offer pet care from my home, however I always have a mindful approach to offering in-home pet care for clients. Don’t hesitate to communicate concerns or boundaries regarding

“I'm almost afraid to leave an honest review. BECAUSE, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO BOOK HIM AGAIN! And I don't want him to be too busy. He did a wonderful job with our dog and our house. Saxon got all the exercise he needed, then apparently slept the afternoon away. Our home looked exactly how we left it. Maybe even better. Finn came for a meet and greet with Saxon and asked great questions about what Saxon likes and does not do, or should no do. We were very pleased and would definitely book him again.”

About: What sets me apart is my extensive experience with a wide range of breeds. I’ve cared for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention, as well as helped train puppies to build good habits. I’ve also worked with animals who have a history of trauma or don’t get along with others, helping them feel safe and comfortable. Beyond basic care, I genuinely love being active, so your dog won’t just get a quick walk—they’ll get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and engagement. Whether it’s a playful pup who needs training, a senior dog who needs gentle care, or a pet who needs help adjusting, I’m dedicated to making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’m working as an intern where I choose my hours so I’m extremely flexible with my schedule to incorporate what is needed! I am eager to spend any time needed. I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs, making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own home. Whether it’s sticking to their regular feeding and exercise schedule, providing extra patience for seniors, reinforcing training for puppies, or helping anxious pets feel at ease, I adapt to what works best for them. I also make sure they get plenty of engagement—whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just companionship—so they’re not just cared for, but truly looked after while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle older dogs, such as my own. I tailor my approach to each animal’s needs. What sets me apart is my calm, patient energy and attention to detail—I don’t just watch pets, I get to know them. I have experience with basic training reinforcement, senior pet care (including administering oral medications), and making nervous animals feel safe and loved. Whether it’s a long walk, structured playtime, or simply keeping a routine, I care for every pet like they’re my own. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible and open schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. With no classes or school obligations right now, I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits—whatever fits your pet’s routine best. I love spending my summer surrounded by animals, and I’m fully committed to giving each pet the time and attention that they need. Safety and trust are my top priorities in every pet care situation. 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

About: I have loved all animals since I could remember. I have been dog sitting/walking for years and am known to be very reliable and dependable! I move in on August 15th and I am a fall sport athlete. With that being said, I will be very busy from August to beginning of November. But, please do not hesitate to reach out. I will try my best to work around my schedule to provide the best care. I have one dog at home. I feed him twice a day, walk him, and let him out multiple times a day whenever he scratches at the door. I would keep your home clean and organized whenever I care for your pup!

“First time using this site. Baylor did a great job. Sent pictures regularly and was glad to know our animals were taken care if.”

About: I spent a lot of time with pets( mostly dogs) from taking care of close friends pets. With dogs I found better ways to behave them when they were with me, and considering I would take care of them a lot I managed to teach them tricks. I love spending time with animals of any kind. I had a cat when I was 13 and it was tricky because I got Lenny as an adult I would say. I learned how to manage litter boxes and the right food for both cat and dog. I do a lot of research when it comes to food so I know they have the right nutritions and I’m also skeptical when if comes or bagged food, so I do make my Own at times. I own 2 dogs now, one is a puppy and the other about a year and a half old. I’m also trying to save to go into MTC to study as a veterinarian to spend more time with animals. I have just graduated and it’s hard finding a job. I might as well try going for something that I love to do; spending time with animals. I have a lot of spare time on my hands so I can sit, walk or whatever service you would like me to do. If you have any questions don’t be scared to ask!😊 Even though I do not have a fenced yard, I know places to take dogs to play. I have 2 fur babies that will happily love to play. If you have a certain schedule you would like me to go by then that’s completely fine with me. I have a medium sized crate if they need crating, it will be cleaned before and after it’s used. I will have extra bowls incase anything is forgotten. Along with medicine of any kind you need me to know about. If you have any questions about our environment, I will happily take them. A happy fur baby and parent is the goal!❤️
