Pet Sitting in Martinsville

“Westley is great with our trio of Doodles. It’s been a few months since we had needed him to drop in. But we could tell from the pictures he sent they were VERY happy to see him!”

“Alison went above and beyond in taking care of our large breed, high energy fur babies. We were nervous about leaving them for so long but, Alison made it a nonissue. Our babies were nonchalant when we returned - the telltale sign. Thank you Alison!!”

“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.”

“Hannah is wonderful. She is a true dog lover and my dog loves to see her come up the walk. He knows he will have a good time and get some good exercise. Hannah is always cheery and a joy to know she will be caring for my pet. Can't recommend her highly enough.”

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.

About: I always had pets growing up and have had both cats and dogs of my own until recently. While I no longer have my own pets, I look forward to walking, playing with, and providing special care for your pet. As someone who works from home, I’m available throughout the day to provide consistent care and attention to your pets. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m always around to ensure they feel loved and cared for. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away! With a fenced yard, your pet can enjoy safe outdoor time to play, run around, or relax in a secure environment. I live in a neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks, making for great walking routes where your pet can stretch its legs and explore. If needed, I can crate your pet, ensuring they’re comfortable and safe when you're not around. Whether it’s providing exercise, offering companionship, or following specific care routines, you can trust me to treat your pets like family while you’re away.

About: I am very patient with animals, whether it be a puppy potty training, one with special needs or seniors. You can trust that they are very well loved in your absence. I only work part time so I have a lot of availability. I can just drop in or I can take them for walks and give them quality time. If cared for in my home, you can trust that your pet is well taken care of. I have a 6 ft privacy fence, BIG back yard and a doggy pool if they like to play in water. I also have orthopedic beds in 2 seperate built in dog creates.

About: I have owned dogs all throughout my life ranging from small and large. I will give the proper care, attention and love your fluffy friends rightfully deserve. I work a seasonal summer job so I am completely open throughout the week to find a spot in my schedule to take great care of your pet. I have owned both indoor and outdoor dogs and am well experienced in treating for both of them. I can follow your set or rules easily.

“Emily was great! She had an issue with her transportation but immediately had a backup plan so anyone who books with her can have no worries that she is super responsible and not going to back out at the last minute. She posted photos and we could see what time she was there which was also very reassuring. One of our dogs doesn't eat well when we are gone and he had no problems with Emily. She really loves animals and your pets will get that vibe from her too! Another thing was that one of our dogs can sound really scary when people come to the door and Emily was not intimidated and did really well with that and made friends with her! I would definitely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a dog sitter in our area.”

“Leah was amazing!! This is my first time using Rover, and I absolutely loved how well she took care of my animals. She was super sweet, super communicative, cleaned up after them, available during the holidays and on a bit of a late notice, and overall I really appreciate her and her work! I will be going to her again for my pet needs 😁 THANK YOU LEAH!!”

About: I've had a small Shih Tzu/Toy Poodle dog for 10 yrs and cats on and off throughout my life. I had my most recent cat for 15 yrs until she passed in 2023. I work full-time, but have availability often in the afternoons, evenings and many weekends. I occasionally have flexibility through the work week as well. That being said, I am happy to work with you to accommodate your pet's schedule. I unfortunately cannot bring others' pets into my home or offer overnight house sitting due to my own pets, however, I am happy to work with you to ensure your pet stays on their schedule in your home where they are most comfortable.

“Darcie was a wonderful! We had to leave our 3.5 month puppy, Bender overnight and were worried that he would have a hard time adjusting to a boarding facility. Darcie was the pet sitter we contacted. She was great and despite her busy week made time to meet with us. When we explained Bender was a shy pup she made extra effort to come see him before we left at our house to get him familiar with her. We received several pictures and updates through the day/night she was at our house. She also volunteered to work with him to overcome his timidness. He is shy of walks but went out with Darcie very comfortably!”

“Alex worked with JJ and taught him to set which is huge for him since he is a little stubborn?”

About: Hello! My name is Nicole, and I recently moved to the Martinsville area and am reopening my pet sitting business. I’ve been providing professional pet care for dogs and cats since 2016, and my boyfriend, Evan, and I are excited to continue offering services here. We're animal people. We share our home with two senior cats and a playful young Basset Hound named Banjo. I am a nurse by profession, so I’m comfortable giving all types of medications. My boyfriend, Evan, works from home, which means there’s always someone around to give your pets undivided attention, frequent walks, and potty breaks. We're well-experienced with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. The dogs we sit in our home must be comfortable with cats and other dogs. We offer a calm, quiet environment for docile, shy, or senior dogs, and for young or active dogs, we can provide a fun and playful atmosphere. We're also comfortable reinforcing any obedience or training you've been working on, so your pet won't miss a beat. If you're looking for a safe, loving home for your pet while you're away, we'd be honored to take care of them! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. My partner and I work from home so we are here and very attentive to all pets that we board. We're familiar with basic dog training, obedience, and safety. We live on a quiet farm in a small house. The area is really quiet and not close to any main roads. We prioritize safety for our pets and boarders

About: From fish to horses, dogs, cats, and everything in between, I’m an animal lover. In fact, pretty much my whole life is based around animals! I work as an intern veterinary assistant, I used to work at a pet store, I spent my junior year in highschool bathing and doing nail trims on dogs every week, I’m graduating highschool with a Veterinary Medical Applications Certificate, and starting next year I’ll be studying Animal Science at Purdue! I have experience with dogs and cats alike as young as 3 days old and as old as 15. I’ve been petsitting for family since I was about 10 years old, and have been able to spend extra time and care with elderly pets, and lots playtime with wild puppies. In a professional setting at the vet clinic, I have dealt with animals of all sizes and temperaments, and gotten experience with fear free restraint and handling. I personally have one dog, and he is the light of my life, and my family and I also fostered a puppy for 6 months last year before he found his forever home. I’ve grown up around stray cats and have formed bonds with many over the years, despite not being able to have any, I’ve even cared for cats recovering from surgery, so I have experience with more delicate situations. I will be out of school May 11th-August 25th and currently do not have a job so my availability is wide open! It may change if I get a job but I do intend to make space for pet sitting in my schedule, and will hopefully be able to continue some during school as well. My pets are my whole world, and I’ll treat yours just the same! I know everyone has different preferences for their furbabies, and I’ll stick to every detail you ask of me. You need pictures? You’ve got them. You need me to give extra love? Can do. Your pet needs special medications? I have experience with that! Leaving behind our pets is hard, and I’ll do my best to make your time away less stressful.

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.

“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”

About: Hi I’m Carlie! I have had animals my entire life, and dogs have always held a special place in my heart. My family has rescued 3 over the years and I recently rescued my own precious baby Avalon! (Although she definitely rescued me!) I have tons of experience caring for animals and it is something I’m very passionate about! I love taking my dogs to the dog park! I love going on hikes and walks with them as well! There’s also a box full of tennis balls I have stored for all the fetch we could ever play! :) I have great knowledge on feeding and caring for dogs in whatever way you may need! I’m so excited you’re reading this and I can’t wait to meet your furry babies! ❤️ I am currently offering my services from 9am until around 4pm each day!
