Dog Sitting in Lyndhurst

About: I've had animals of all sorts all of my life. Dogs, cats, lizards, snakes and other types. I grew up on a farm, and have worked with many types of animals of all sizes. Right now I'm free anytime to help you with your needs. More than happy to help with any animals you have and for however long you need a hand. I will follow your instructions to the t. We have 2 dogs, and three cats in our house. We try to play with and keep them all happy as each of them have different personalities.

About: I absolutely love animals and have had them through out my entire life. I have experience from working at “Dogtopia” to “Home away from home, dog boarding”. I understand the importance of family and would love to be your dogs next best friend! I have experience providing care for a variety of animals, including feeding, grooming, and monitoring health. I am familiar with cleaning and sanitizing animal housing and equipment, and can recognize signs of illness or distress. By feeding, walks, and playtime—with my personal habits like breakfast, exercise, and evening relaxation it helps to create a consistent, healthy routine. My successful routine with my 12 year old senior terrier includes early morning engagement to set a positive tone, scheduled midday breaks or mental stimulation to combat boredom, and structured evening bonding that eases stress. I have a 12 year old friendly Emotional support animal named Flower, who still loves to run and play. I also live close to the park, and have a crate if needed.

“Pamela is fantastic! She showed up for us in a pinch for a long service request without complaint! She responds quickly and provides excellent care and communication throughout the booking. Pam was so kind to our kitties and attentive to their needs, and took great care of our home as well. Highly recommend!”

About: I have experience caring for my own dog and cats and understand how important routine, safety, and attention are. I’m especially comfortable with small dogs and pets that may need a little extra patience or reassurance. I’m very detail-oriented, follow instructions closely, and adjust to each pet’s personality. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel comfortable and cared for. I work mostly from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide care throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, and I can adjust my routine as needed to fit your pet’s schedule. Because I’m home-based, I’m also able to give pets consistent attention and not leave them alone for long periods. I’m reliable, responsive, and make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I focus on keeping pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, potty breaks, and any specific needs. For walks, I prioritize safety with secure leashing and awareness of surroundings, and I adjust based on each dog’s energy level and comfort. I also make sure pets get attention and care during each visit, and I provide updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from a young age. I would dog sit neighbors dogs for weeks, by taking the dogs out to potty, giving cuddles and giving them attention! I currently work full-time as a Certified Medical Assistant at UVA Health in a pediatric specialty clinic, primarily in Hematology/Oncology. While my schedule during the week can be busy, I am available in the evenings and on weekends and am very reliable when I commit to pet care. I truly enjoy caring for others—whether that’s my patients or your pets—and would love to spend my free time giving your pet lots of attention and love! I live in a home, but I am very comfortable caring for pets in a client’s home where they feel most comfortable. Working in healthcare, I am extremely attentive, responsible, and detail-oriented, and I will treat your pet with the same level of care and compassion I give my patients. Your pet’s safety, routine, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I will make sure they feel loved and well cared for at all times.

“Kiersten helped us out in short notice with drop in visits and was great with our dog while we were gone. We returned to a happy dog.”

About: I’ve taken care of many different breeds of pets since I was kid and even assisted with pet care at animal shelters. I love dogs! Schedule is flexible as long as I know wants and needs in advanced. Do have the ability to do quick services depending on the day of week. No fur baby is the same. Depending on your needs and the needs of your pet, I am comfortable with leash walking/training, as well as off leash walk or play time in a controlled environment such as your home or yard. If your pet is socialized or you are looking to socialize your pet I can assist with that at local parks or walks.

“Emily was amazing with our dog, Rocky. We were gone 4 days on a vacation & received a message each time she visited him. She also sent pictures & was quick to respond to our texts. We never worried about Rocky & had only left him with friends or family in the past. I couldn’t recommend Emily more!!”

About: I am currently a college student studying zoo and wildlife biology, and I hope to have a career in either wildlife rehabilitation or working at a zoo. I have a good amount of experience with animals; I have been around animals my whole life, my grandfather was a veterinarian, and I have been pet sitting since high school. I also worked as a kennel attendant at Augusta Valley Animal Hospital. I currently volunteer at the Humane Society and have at the SPCA as well, walking dogs and performing other tasks. I am hoping to do some pet care over the summer to earn some money and get some more experience. I will be doing an internship 3 times a week, so I am only available 4 days a week. I live a little bit out in the country, so we have some land and a private and safe road for walks. There is very little traffic, so it is a peaceful area. I have not yet hosted a client's pet in my home, but I have a lot of experience and can follow detailed instructions for your pet to provide them with the best care.

“Kristina is the best! She put in extra effort especially during the holidays to care for our 8 month golden doodle. We appreciate all the TLC she gave Lumi and HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone!”

About: I've always loved animals, from my first guinea pig at age 11 I was hooked! I have dog and cat sat in my neighborhood, and made friends with as many pets as I could. I'm not afraid to have fun with any dog big or small, and I'm more than open to bathing and grooming as well. I am also experienced in giving medication to pets who need it, mostly with pills but I've also learned how to do on skin treatment as well. I have taken care of everything ranging from snails and fish to birds and reptiles. I'm very passionate about giving all animals the affection and playtime they deserve. I would love to give your pets love and attention while you are away! I am currently a stay at home mom, so I will be able to stop by any time, and take care of anything your pets need! I have experience keeping pets separate when need be as well as encouraging socializing! Whatever your needs are I can provide plenty of play and love!

About: I've had pets since I was a baby. My uncle appointed me as his personal pet sitter when I was 13. I have taken care of a large variety of animals. Currently, I have two dogs, two cats, a snake, and a tortoise. One of my dogs 13, so I also have a lot of experience working with senior pets. The other dog is 1, so I have experience with puppies. I also had a very sickly cat, so I have had experience with dealing with health issues. I am currently working two part time jobs at a UVA clinic and at Augusta Health. I leave the house to go to work around 7:30 am, so I have time in the morning to check in on pets. I get off around 5pm and I am off on most weekends, so I have all evening and weekends to spend with and care for your pets! I love spending time and getting to know the pets personalities. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while staying in their own familiar environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and house rules. I always keep a clean and calm environment, monitor pets carefully during walks and outdoor time, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“Great communication, responsive, excellent job.”

About: I've been a caretaker to many animals great and small from horses and alpacas to cats and rats. Any animal is welcome in my care. I truly want the best for every sweet soul and a key to that is regular exercise and freedom. I am currently working part-time at a horse farm and am looking for more animal time in between my shifts any day of the week. I have 2 short shifts, one in the morning that ends around 9:30 and another shift at 4 that is also quite short. There is a great chunk of time to fill. My pup and I have an abundance of toys and a little dog park only 5 minutes away! We have a quarter mile walk that I loop with my dog on the daily and he loves his time outside smelling and exploring around our community.

“Thank you Angel!”

We have no children and no cats, but FO have one small dog of our own- Jax.

“Pamela is definitely a go to for our 2 dogs who love when she comes. This was our first time having Pamela to a drop on visit which went perfectly. She has always gone above and beyond for our pups which shows how much she cares.”
