Pet Sitting in Marion

About: What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong love for animals and the deep-rooted experience that comes from growing up surrounded by them. From a young age, I’ve cared for a variety of pets—big and small—which taught me not only responsibility but how to connect with animals on a personal level. Over the years, I’ve become the go-to sitter for friends, family, and others who have reached out, trusting me to care for their pets as if they were my own. My approach is always compassionate, attentive, and tailored to each animal’s unique needs, providing both pets and their people with comfort and peace of mind. As a graduate student, I have a flexible and well-structured schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet sitting. I can be available for regular visits, walks, feedings when needed. Pet sitting brings me joy and a sense of balance. It’s a meaningful way for me to stay active, reduce stress, and do something I genuinely love alongside my studies. I care for pets with plenty of affection, playtime, and a calm, structured routine that helps them feel secure while away from their owners. When caring for pets at a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established routines closely, keeping things consistent and stress-free. I always communicate clearly with pet parents, provide updates, and treat every animal with the same care and respect I give my own.

About: I've had many years of experience between keeping my own animals as well as house sitting or just dropping in to check on your pets! I also offer the same service for reptiles! Preferably would like to service closer to Wytheville but will travel in some cases I currently have a full time job but I am looking to quit so I can focus on doing nails and going to school part time for that but I need a side hustle! I live in a school bus so I don't really have tons of room to take care of pets there but I am more than willing to come to their homes, I'd prefer that the pet is comfortable as possible and I cannot stay overnight in a home but I can stay as long as needed to make sure the care requirements are met

“We felt incredibly thankful to have Gracie looking after our pups once more. It’s a true comfort to know our furbabies are in such good hands while we’re gone. They recognize her now and feel at ease. Gracie genuinely adores all animals and is dedicated to ensuring they receive the best care possible. Thank you again! 🩷”

About: I have grown up around animals and have experience with sitting over night, taking them on walks, feeding on a schedule and more! I lived with a Golden Doodle in college for 2 years and help care for my sister’s dogs (Jack Russell Terrier & Lab Mix). 🐶 I am currently a full time graduate student looking so make some extra money. My schedule changes each semester, but I am able to be flexible most weeks. I can provide the assurance you need to trust me with your fur baby! I like to check in with the owners with updates and pictures, just so you are aware of how things are going. I am easy to talk to and can follow directions so that your pet feels comfortable with me!

“Sam is always on time, professional, and communicates very well. I appreciate the photos and updates during the visit. It brings me much joy and comfort knowing Sam is taking care of my kitties! Thank you again for your help!!”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a kid, big dogs, small, large dogs , puppies and cats and kittens. It was my responsibility to feed, walk, play and take the dogs out whenever they need to go. All I have ever wanted is to take care of animals since I was a kid and it breaks my heart not working with pets. I had a wear house job for 5 years and I feel like I have wasted time and I’m already 32 and would love nothing more than to start taking care of pets. They make me really happy and always in a great mood, I love to play with all kinds of dogs and cats which would really be a dream come true once again. I have bathed them as well and really really great at making the pets happy as well. Right now, I wake up at 4:00 am every day for work and get off at 3 and get home by 4:00 pm. I would love to make this a full time job , it's literally all I have ever wanted to do is help and work with animals, it's always been my passion and I seem to have a very strong connection with animals. I would love nothing more than to quit my industrial cleaning job and work with animals "full time" I have a cat which doesn’t like any other animals but dogs , Zoey is like the QUEEN of my house and I can't spoil her enough. I have a lion lope bunny as well and my cat actually ignores the bunny I call Chloe. I absolutely adore and pamper my animals every chance I get.I can watch your pet and I’m available to stay overnight and watch your pets if you go out of town, or work, I really love pets and would love to go back to taking care of them , I am extremely great taking care of animals and always get along with them as well, over 10 years ago I was pet sitting a dog and cat and loved it more than anything...... I had to move which I have been in Bristol for 8 years and the few times I did pet sit it was the best experience and I wish I can just help people take care of their pets for the rest of my life.....

About: DISREGARD REVIEW FROM ROBIN! It contains lies which meet the standard for libel. Nothing in her review is true. I did come the night before at her request, but every other remark is untrue. I have two dozen 5-star reviews from this site and others. Where to start? Three dogs with 11 legs, 50+ cats, 2 alpacas, 7 parrots, farm critters— Out of space! What else? And…um…Ack! Estates, hovels, and— Being retired from the rat race, I now sit full-time. That means I’m there 24/7 to give your Fur/Feather/Scale Babies and home love and care The safety of your pets/home are of utmost importance, so a schedule and information list are essential. I prefer arriving early to go over everything. Being retired, sitting pets and homes is my only focus. Actually, available within a four-hundred mile radius, all the way to the coast, the big city, and everywhere in between! I make certain your home and your pets are in the same pristine condition as when I arrived. The pets (who have lips) will be smiling. Of course, they will be even more exciting to see you again. The house would be smiling, if not for that whole lips thing.

“Meredith is very dependable and trustworthy. My dogs love her. I highly recommend Meredith!”

About: I have been fostering & training animals for rescues and shelters since 2009. I enjoy fostering because it helps more animals in the long run, I am great with animals that are unruly & have vet technician experience, so you can be sure your animal is in great hands when at my home or in my care, I love cats, dogs & caged animals & will go above and beyond for them. I can do things that most animal caretakers aren’t comfortable with, such as administer medications, light training, cleaning, bathing, grooming, even go pet shopping if needed! I will treat your babies as my own 😊 I have a huge yard & I live a few miles from a park with a walking trail. I own my business and work from home on my own schedule so I can work around my animal care schedule if needed. I have a 6 month old but can and will refrain from contact if needed. I have pets of my own as well as fosters at any given time, however my house is split level and plenty big enough to separate my animals from visiting one's to ensure safety.

About: I’ve been around dogs & puppies a big chunk of my years, but around 2 years ago is when I got my baby when she was a baby! I trained her since a pup & love giving people advice Currently no job so availability Monday - Friday ! They’ll get more than enough attention & play time or whatever they need and want (: Anyway needed, there is no strict way to care for dogs as they are all different and need different things! I can bathe, Walk, Play etc
