“Rachel has done an amazing job of taking care of Eli, making sure that he's happy, well exercised, and good to go. She's also been great at communicating and making sure that we're on the same page with Eli's needs, lifestyle, and safety. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have a pitbull, a dachshund, and a little cat. I love them all so much and enjoy spending as much time with them as they need. I am able to handle my 120 pound pitty on walks and trained him to be the best dog ever. I also trained my dachshund, which are very stubborn by the way :) I work full time but i am always available to come on my lunch breaks, before work, or after work. I am always off on the weekends so I am available anytime any day. I take care of my animals by always being on top of what they need. I make sure they have exercise so at night they are able to sleep. I make sure their belly’s are full and walk them about 45-1 hour later to make sure they know to use the bathroom outside. I give them PLENTY of attention and they always love being around me.

“Ronda was great and went above and beyond. We needed to book last minute, and she did a meet and greet the same day. Ronda was thorough which put our minds at ease that our baby was well looked after.”

About: when you choose me as your pet sitter, you have nothing to worry about. I care for all pets as if they're my own. I live in an apartment and I'm currently only available to do boarding with one dogs but will consider two if they are bonded pair. before any boarding or housesitting services confirmed, I require we meet in person to ensure all the details are understood and that your dogs are OK with my dog. I have a 30 pound beagle mix named Daisy who is three years old and she will be with me at all times. I am always available for drop in visits and dog walking. prices fluctuate due to various factors but the main ones these days are gas prices and distance of travel. I.e The farther away you are the more likely there is that a added fee will occur before confirmation of service. I provide pet care in services full-time as of November 2021. I am available at any time if you need me. i'm currently available for the following services: housesitting, pet boarding, drop in visit, dog walking for 30 minutes or 60 minutes, and one on one dog training. if your dog is with me, I live in a neighborhood that is very dog friendly. We have two dog parks and I am often at these dog parks at least once a day. However if you have a dog that is not comfortable with that I would not take them there. I would focus on other activities that are more suited to your pet. I also take a lot of pictures and I am constantly in contact with you so you don't have to worry where or what we're doing. I currently work as a therapist with an office in the Madison area, right next to the plow and hearth. My schedule is pretty flexible and it changes weekly as my client needs change. I am almost always around, that makes me a great person for any last minute bookings needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of affection, daily walks, and playtime tailored to your pet’s needs. I keep the space clean, secure, and low-stress, with my own well-behaved dog Daisy as a companion if your pet is comfortable. When staying in your home, I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions closely, maintain regular updates, and work to ensure your pet feels safe and cared for in their familiar environment. I aim to build trust with both pets and their people every step of the way.

About: My name is Charne! I used to have an English black lab who became my service baby and was the sweetest boy on this planet. I always knew I wanted to work with animals growing up. Weather that was rescuing them or just sharing my love with them!! I am certified for wildlife animal rescue as well. I am very active and would love to do outdoor/indoor fun activities with your pets!! I am experienced in special care for pets like medication, injections, wound care, etc. Animals are life and without them where would our hearts be! I’ve always had pets from the age of 0 until now! Growing up I was raised with three dogs, two cats, and always two birds! My parents always told me you can tell a lot about a person on how they treat animals!! I currently live with my Fiancé and we rescued our pup Zeppelin from an abusive home 5 years ago. He has now grown to realize that love does exist, kisses are always wanted, and the couch/bed is the most comfortable place on earth!! He has severe allergies so I have experience in prepping a raw diet to fit his allergy needs! We also have a cat named Sage. She’s my baby and our snuggles are my favorite part of the day! I’d love to share my love & care with other furry friends!! I currently own my own silversmithing business and make jewelry full-time, in my home and on my schedule so my availability is completely open!!! 🥰 I follow instructions to the T!! I understand that every pet has their own individual needs & requirements and those need to be met in order to keep them happy, by sticking to their known schedule! I unfortunately do not allow in home pet setting at my house as our dog was a rescue and we are still not comfortable him being around other animals for longer than an hour as his patience can run out. For the safety of our pets, I’m more than happy to pet sit in your home!! I have years of experience with different pups, volunteering at rescues and rescuing animals myself, so their safety and care will always be my top priority! Also giving unlimited love :))

“Laura is friendly, professional, and patient with our shy dog. We've been very happy with her and will continue to book her for our dog walking needs!”

About: I have cared for dogs my whole life. My family has 3 dogs, and for 3 years we fostered special needs dogs from the animal shelter: litters of puppies, sick dogs, pregnant dogs, and dogs with special medical needs. I volunteered as a dog walker at our animal shelter. I worked for a year at a dog boarding facility handling all aspects of dog care: feeding, medication, walks and play, cleaning. I attended puppy socialization and training classes with my own dogs. I am a college sophomore available for summer, weekend and holiday pet sitting in and near Greene County. I can be with your pets overnight from dinner time to after breakfast. I have a flexible part-time daytime job, so can return for daytime potty and visits as needed. I start by understanding your pets daily routine, medical and care needs, and your expectations. I will make a visit to introduce myself before your trip. While you are away, I will send regular updates and ask any questions.

About: I’ve been in animal care professionally for 5 years! I have experience with dog training for dogs of all ages. I’ve also had experience medicating dogs ie pill passing, applying medication to eyes, ears, wounds, etc. I work for a none profit organization where I do behavioral assessments, dog evaluations, I run playgroups, & I know the ins and outs of any kind of enrichment you could imagine! Additionally I have a lot of experience with basic grooming ie nail trims, paw pad shaving, baths, etc. I happen to be more savvy with canines but I have experience with felines, small domestics, and poultry! I fall in love with every complex little creature I have had the pleasure to interact with and I will ensure your fur baby will always be well cared for! I work a full time job but I am available before 8am and after 4:30 during my work week. I am available all day Sundays and Mondays currently but I am more than willing to make arrangements to accommodate whatever needs you and your fur baby(s) have ! I pride myself on a controlled environment. I guarantee there is lots of exercise, attention, and fun! I will ensure your routine with your baby is followed as well ie crating, special toys, night routine, etc

About: Hi, my name is Amelia Reedy. I have been taking care of dogs all my life, whether it be for neighbors or family, and have experience with all sizes of furry friends. Currently within my home, I take care of my two middle-aged dogs. I also often take care of my grandmother’s senior chocolate lab. My childhood pet whom my family had for 16 years, Sierra, was an Australian Cattle Dog with lots of energy, so I am also quite experienced with active pups that require considerable amounts of exercise. Overall, my goal is take care of your companions in a manner that will keep both them and you as happy and comfortable as possible! I am currently enrolled at Virginia Commonwealth University, so I am a seasonal sitter for the summer months and will be available during breaks as well. I am free and flexible to watch dogs each day of the week. Sunday evenings are the only times which I am unavailable to do so. I am available to care of your pet at your home, as I have three dogs of my own in my home that are sometimes unpredictable with new dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and provided medications when needed including pills, eye drops, and shots! I also am flexible to what your pet’s routine already is! I’m home for summers from college (Go Dukes) and I’ve always loved animals, so pet-sitting is my only job over this time! I’m available all days throughout the week! When you’re vacationing in the summer I will look after your pets and give you peace of mind with pictures I take of them and I always leave your house looking like I was never even there!

About: As a U.S. Navy veteran, I bring the same integrity, reliability, and commitment to your pets as I did in service. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust when you’re away, and I take that responsibility to heart. With a background in private security, executive/personal protective services, your furry fam and home are in the best of hands. I’ve spent pretty much my entire life around animals…dogs, cats, and even a few more unique companions, and I understand that every pet has its own personality, needs, and quirks. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or simply sitting quietly with a shy cat, I meet each pet where they’re comfortable. I pride myself on being that person that animals seem to look to as their protector and am a firm believer of dogs being able to sense that good nature in people. My priority is to keep tails wagging and paws happy while giving you peace of mind. From daily check-ins to extended stays, I’ll care for your furry family as if they were my own! I am very flexible with my schedule. Retired military and working PT for a couple different places that are flexible with my schedule as well, it’s easy to find time to assist you and your fur babies. Our animals, Zeppelin(8 yr old, 87lb dog) and Sage(6 yr old tabby cat), can be high maintenance, with consistent brushing and grooming, but it fills my heart with joy knowing how happy they are and well taken care of. Zeppelin is a Romanian Raven Shepherd that has a highly detailed diet, that we prep for 30 days out every month. He is on a fully raw diet that consists of ground beef, heart, liver, kidney, green tripe, pork tail, fish(salmon or sardine), oysters, vitamin E drops, kelp powder, and a blended veggie mix. Needless to say, we take amazing care of him. Our cat, Sage, does her cat thing, but we feed her blue buffalo food(not a fan of pet foods with all the fillers and chicken by-products these days) and groom her when the season calls for it.

About: I’ve grown up around multiple different breeds of dogs and I have my own cat. While my household has multiple cats, dogs and fish. Also been around reptiles and small furry animals. I plan on working a part time job as I am back from college for the summer. Which leaves time to care for your animals! I will carefully look after your babies! As I am a total animal lover and love taking care of animals! I am here to help make life easier for you!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats most of my life. I have trained, exercised, and cared for several dogs. I can clean cat boxes. I am doing this part time Monday thru Thursday. I am available from 10 until 4. I can discuss other possible days and times as well. I can feed, potty and walk dogs (in a safe environment). I can also clean cat boxes. Willing to discuss other possible tasks within reason.

About: With both vet experience, and Animal Control experience I am quipped with almost anything animal related. I can do long walks or long naps; belly rubs or back scratched, whichever your pet would prefer. I’m currently only working part time, and my schedule is pretty flexible allowing me to drop in at almost anytime as long as a little heads-up is given. I have a very large yard as well as a dog friendly home. My pup is super friendly and down to play with any new friend, but also can be separated if needed.

About: I have experience with all dogs and grew up working on a farm, caring for an array of livestock to include chickens, goats/sheep, alpacas/llamas, and two sheepdogs. I am willing to feed & care for any other farm animals or exotic pets if requested. I came from a big cat loving family, and would love to come love on yours. I am a stay at home mom which affords me the ability to be pretty flexible with times of days and last minute bookings. If I’m a not available for some dates, please reach out to me to discuss. Boarding and Doggy Day Care requests are reviewed on a case by case basis. We live on 7 acres, no fence, with chickens and a German shepherd. Dogs must be leash trained and crate trained for bedtime (if boarding).

About: As the daughter and employee of a successful pet-sitting business owner and veterinary technician, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of pets. With over 10 years of experience working alongside my mother and in veterinary offices across Northern Virginia, I’ve learned that every pet is unique and deserves individualized care. At home, I have a pit mix named Bella who moved here with me from St. Croix following the hurricanes in 2017. She came with her own fair share of trauma, from a family of dogs bred to fight for entertainment purposes and was the only survivor from her litter after Hurricane Maria. Prior to that, my two rescue bassets came to us with separation anxiety, so I personally understand the challenges some pets face and how important patience and consistency are. I’m a non-smoker, organized, and detail-oriented. Most importantly, I take this work seriously and will treat your pet with the same love I give my own. Working mainly from home allows me the flexibility to plan my days around feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for. In my home or a client’s, I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, play, and rest, while giving them plenty of love and attention to keep them comfortable. We can work on learning new tricks and reinforcing obedience training.

About: I have had my own dogs since I was a little girl. We have bred pups. We have shown pups. We are ABKC and UKC registered for our dogs and just love loving our furry family members. I would love nothing more than to make time to help others travel while they have confidence that the animals are safe and loved on! I have a fenced in back yard and can kennel. I am open to options if assisting in anyway for families to be confident that the fur babies are cared for.
