Pet Sitting Martinsville

About: I’ve worked with reactive dogs as well as Pit bulls and shepards. Neighbors, friends, and family rely on me for daily care, meds, and exercise. At home I’ve got two dogs (small seniors), plus goats and 11 chickens, so I’m very used to managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m comfortable with seniors, anxious dogs, and big breeds, and I follow instructions exactly so your pet’s schedule stays consistent and stress-free. I work full-time days 4x week but have a predictable schedule, so I’m very reliable for evening and weekend care. I’m home most nights, and I already have a solid routine with my own pets. We can usually fit walks, playtime, cuddles and potty breaks around school pick-ups and homestead chores without a problem. I in a quiet, rural area with plenty of space for sniffing and exploring on-leash, but I have a fully secured, fenced in back yard. I have two senior dogs (1 adopted and 1 foster) and farm animals (goats and chickens), but visiting dogs are only introduced if it’s safe and requested. I’m big on structure and clear routines from my Army background, so gates stay latched, doors are checked, and pets are always supervised outside. Crates are available if your dog is crate trained or just needs a cozy den to relax in.

About: My name is Bree. I grew up with dogs all my life. I worked for Villalobos rescue center for 3 years. Cleaning kennels walking dogs and just in general showing them all the love in the world. Working there i learned alot about simple sicknesses and how to treat them. How to calm dogs down when scared. I have completed animal behavior and can assist in basic training. I love all dogs and animals in general. Small medium large nice scared or a little sassy :) My personal dog is my world. My pup is scared of anything new. Including people. We LOVE to go trailing, car rides, and to the dog park. I really hope to make friends with you and your babies! Also... I'm available for all types of pets. Cats, reptiles, whatever you have. Will work with prices. I’m looking to work with animals every day. On my free time I enjoy volunteer at local shelters and helping rural shelters transport their animals to rescues. I will care for your dog however you want. When I’m my home they can be crated or have free range. My house has 5 bedrooms and only two being used with a fenced in yard. They will have access if allowed by you. We can go for walks at the local parks and in my neighborhood. I enjoy animal photography so you can definitely receive updates.

About: I've never worked for a company like Rover but I've watched many people's pets, mainly friends of the family. My household has two dogs and 3 cats, two of the cats are kittens. I like small dogs but big dogs are my absolute favorite. I personally have a great dane who is a dork and I love him so much. We used to bread great danes so I can work well with puppies. :) I currently work part time, I work most mornings till about 10am and am free after that. I can watch animals on weekend afternoons or evenings. I would like a set schedule with someone if that works out. I have a big back yard and a very loving great dane to keep company. I also have a pin for my dog if for some reason they don't get along. Also a cat poll in my house for those who need cats watched.

About: I love animals and have cared for cats and dogs as well as had my own for much of my life. I will treat them like family, play with them, and care for them. I can walk them, brush them, and administer medication as needed. During the week, I can work from home as needed to assist with pet care. I am available on weekends to board and play with your pet as well. I have a large apartment with an unfenced yard but am able to take your pet out as needed. Your pet will have plenty of room inside and I live close to paths and grass areas to play outside as well.

“Sarah went above and beyond by far to care for our cats while we were gone for a couple weeks. She did much much more than what was asked of her.”

About: My pet care experience includes a variety of different animals such as, dogs, cats, a turtle, hamster, mouse, bunny, and fish! I have always had a strong connection with animals and caring for them in general. The passion I have for taking care of all animals is very strong and I believe they are the purest creatures we have. If you chose me to watch your dogs or cats I promise you they will feel safe in this home and loved while you are gone. Your pet will be in good and loving hands. I also believe that animals have distinct personalities and emotions and those emotions should be paid attention to. Animals have needs just like humans have needs. Us humans have to tend to them! I feed the cats and dog every morning around 7 or 8. I let the dog out for about an hour or so before I leave for work and, clean the cats litter boxes (yes, they have separate ones) while the coffee is brewing. I make sure to spend some quality time with them before I leave. When I get home, Juno is always so excited to see me and the cats run up to me too! I’m just as excited to see them as they are to see me… I am not offering Boarding services right now because my dog and cats do not get along with other animals. I do offer house sitting services, where I start off by greeting the animals and gaining their trust. This is always the first thing I do when entering your house. I then go to the kitchen where the instructions to feed and walk them usually are. If they are not in the kitchen I usually double check my Rover app to see if there are instructions there. I make sure to close all of the blinds in the house and, lock every door if I ever need to leave during the house sitting duration.

About: I have always taken care of animals whether they were mine or my friends. From dogs, cats, rabbits, pigs, goats, horses, hamsters, you name it. I currently work full time from home and in the office 2 days a week. I have 3 doodles, 1 cat, 1 rabbit at home. I can do daily stays in and out of my range , overnight stays in areas in and outside of my range , local drop ins only.

“Valerie was a great help. It gave me a peace of mind while I had to work late all week. And I know my babies enjoyed it. And Roxie (the Bassett), loved her time with Stetson, her son. She received many tummy rubs from him. Stetson now has a friend for life. LOL. And I was so happy to hear that Dixie behaved herself. She is my mischievous one. And yes I would use Valerie again.”

“Kelli was very friendly and accommodating to our needs. She has experience with older dogs, which we appreciated. She came by for a meet and greet a few days before the appointment and our dog loved her. She took some time to get to know him and seemed to really enjoy doing it. Will definitely book her again!”

About: I have always had a dog growing up. We lost baby to cancer in February and just wanted to keep sharing the love we had for him with others. My schedule is flexible, I am retired and love to share a nice backyard with a five foot fence, snuggle and kisses all day long. Depends on the needs of the dog. The goal is to keep them cared for in a safe environment. Just like they are at home.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has experience caring for multiple dogs with different personalities and needs. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure every pup gets the attention they deserve. I also regularly care for family members’ dogs while they’re away on vacation, giving me experience keeping pets comfortable in their own homes and sticking to their normal routines. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands! Hooray for flexibility!! 🎉 my part time job (20 hours or less) gives me a lot of flexibility to shower your furry friend with attention! Just tell me what you need! Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. We offer a secure, large yard for playtime and a home where dogs and cats have always been cherished members of the family. My two friendly dogs are great companions, and my lifelong experience with animals ensures a comfortable and trustworthy environment for your beloved pet.

“Makayla was fantastic! She was communicative and even went above and beyond to help us after an address mix-up on our end. Would trust her with any of our pet care!”

“Cole was put in a situation that could have ended badly for all involved. The neighbors let their dog roam knowing it’s history as an aggressive dog. Cole was quick thinking and handled the situation very well. His communication and quick action saved the day. I can’t say enough about Cole and his professionalism and communication”
