About: I absolutely love animals and would consider it an honor to care for your furry family members when the need arises.

I am looking forward starting up again to earn a little extra income. I am experienced in house sitting as well. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
About: Life is Good with pets! I have been providing professional pet care services for dogs for over 5 years. I have always had different dogs in my life from childhood to adulthood. I’ve seen how happy my own pet is from taking him on regular walks and I am excited to provide this same experience for other pets. I have a large, fenced yard in a semi-rural neighborhood, and I enjoy taking dogs on nice long walks. Pets are allowed on furniture to snuggle and I am also happy to crate train pets, if preferred. I am currently working from home, so I have most of my time to give attention and love to your pet. I am happy to provide these services at all times. I have plenty space and a fenced yard for your pet to play or simple go on potty breaks, if needed. The services requested will be depending on the customers offer :)

About: Hi! I am a 20 year old college student, who would love to be considered for taking care of your furry friend! I grew up around a lot of different animals, but abundantly dogs , which allowed me to gain a lot of experience with them. Since I was a young teenager I walked and did check-ins for families with one to multiple dogs, and eventually did one or two over-night doggy-sitting! I have experience in taking care of puppies and elderly dogs as I grew up in a home where we regularly fostered dogs of those ages. I give the dogs I take care of the love, attention and respect I would give to my own. My schedule allows me to be quite flexible with fitting in pet care into my schedule. To make sure I give your dog the attention and care needed, I would love to schedule an appropriate amount of time ahead. Generally speaking though, I would plan around your pet! I follow the rules and expectations set by you! I do ask everyone who’s dogs I take care of to give me a list of do’s and don’ts because not every dog is the same. I also make sure to ask for typical behavior and moods for the dogs, so that if something is potentially wrong, I am able to identify it!
About: I grew up having a neighborhood dog training business I started as a freshman in high school. I have been training dogs for 8 years now. With that, I have also dog sat, walked dogs, and am able to fulfill any special requests. I own three dogs of my own and have been around dogs since I was born. I have also ridden and worked around horses since 2012. Pet care will be my full time job for the summer as I will be home from college. I am able to put all my time and attention into your pets:) Having three dogs of my own and having my own dog service business, I have been around all sizes, temperaments, and energy level of dogs. I follow all instructions given by you the owner and am respectful of other peoples’ property. I aim to please everyone:)
About: I grew up taking care of all kinds of animals including chickens, goats, cows, pigs, and of course cats and dogs. I’ve independently cared for animals since I can remember! I am a student at Virginia Tech with a pretty flexible schedule. I have time in between my classes to be able to let your animals outside or just spend time with them! Because I live in an apartment, I unfortunately cannot house animals with me in my home. However, I am happy to take them on walks and hang out with them at their home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12 years old. I grew up in a neighborhood so it wasn’t hard to find people who needed pet care. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me for overnight, boarding, walking and feeding. I am not currently working full time so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. It will switch to evenings and weekends once I start work again. Neighbors have always trusted me to be in their homes and with their pets. I have watched them for weeks at a time so this required being unsupervised with access to the property
