House Sitting in Martinsville

About: I have been in the pet industry for 15+ years including veterinary, retail and boarding. I also did house and pet sitting for a good friend of mine many times. I have worked in the petcare industry for more that 15 years. Most of it as a retail manager. I've done veterinary and boarding jobs also. I'm ready to basically become my own boss and do what I really love. My avaliablity will open up more in April 2025. I have fur babies and scale babies of my own. This includes 1 dog, 3 cats, 2 tree frogs, 2 leopard geckos, 1 hamster and multiple fish. They are not only my hobby but part of my family. My dog and cats are allowed on furniture so they can cuddle with us.

“We had the absolute best experience with Viridianne looking after our cat while we were away for an extended period of time. Communication was above and beyond, which made us feel so comfortable being away from our cat. She’s dependable and obviously loves animals! We will definitely ask for her services in the future when we are away ☺️”

“Izzy is such a great sitter. When we come home it doesn't take as long to settle them down when she spends the day with them. I will keep using her.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind since I was 9. My friends and family have always relied on me to take care of their pets whenever they were away. I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I am available at anytime 24/7 I have a nice big yard to run and play on and two fur babies of my own and will provide food if need be

About: I have experience caring for German Shepards and other large breed dogs. I am very passionate about the care I give and making sure the dog's needs are met. I am currently in school to be a nurse and do not have any other job. Most weekends I am free and can work around my schedule to provide for your pet. Because of my dogs I own I will not allow other dogs to stay at my house due to my dogs being a little territorial and not knowing how they could react to a new dog on their land. In a client's house I will do just as instructed by the owner in order to keep their beloved fur baby safe and sound under my watch.

“Cate truly has a gift with animals (and their owners) and we know how fortunate we are to have found her. Our pets are pretty darn lucky, too!”

About: Growing up our family always had dogs and one day I’ll have one of my own. We typically always had 2 around and have experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and ages. So if you had a rambunctious husky or a dog that might be a little more fragile & need some extra care I’ll be your guy. I’m currently working a full time sales job however there is lots of down time throughout the day to help with your pets needs. Wednesday’s and Sundays are my days off from my full time gig and usually open any morning before 10am and evenings after 5pm. My apartment does allow dogs if you need boarding for a weekend. I take pride in my work and live by the motto “leave it better than you left it”. If your pets are in my home I have a spacious 2 bedroom apartment so pets will have plenty room for play and have a large field just down the street.

“Lindsey was so good. I messaged her last minute and she was there! My babies seemed happy and took to her in no time! Would recommend!”

“Loved having Kimberly watch Enzo! She was fantastic and ready to help on a short notice. She sent me pictures everyday and updated me on everything. She even went the extra mile and brought him a bone. Would recommend to anyone!”

About: I have experience caring for animals of all kinds and sizes. I have a dog, cats, rodents, and reptiles of my very own. When looking for someone to take care of our pets it is essential to find someone willing to give as much love and care as you do. Every animal has their own special needs that I am able to understand and cater to. When your pet is with me they will be treated as though they are one of my very own. I have experience with animals of a variety of difficulties such as anxiety, aggression, and even blindness. All attention, love, and care I can give will go into your pet. Whether it be a quick walk around the neighborhood, the dog park, or even a hike for an adventurous stroll. If your dog loves being around other dogs or needs some easy socializing due to aggression I have an easy-going, 10 year old lab mix. With your permission I could have J on walks or adventures with your pal! He is very calm and gentle around other dogs. He is the perfect dog to get your buddy accustomed to being around dogs! Although I work full-time I make sure to spent a lot of time exercising and working with dogs. I structure my own care routine around that of my dogs or yours. Before the first time I watch your pet I like to ask a lot of questions about their typical routine so I can make sure to follow that as closely as possibly.

About: I’ve had experiences with animals since I was a child. From my family’s pets, to strays, to even my own. These include cats, dogs, birds, horses, fish, snakes, and bearded dragons. Though I always enjoy learning how to take care of all sorts of animals that others may be afraid to such as arachnids. What sets me apart is my deep respect for these animals and giving them the space they need and also understanding that they are not “below us” as humans. As well as this, I have almost a years worth of working at a veterinarian clinic as a kennel assistant. The skills I developed here include: - walking - bathing - medicating - trimming claws - maintaining a feeding schedule - maintaining a clean kennel - bonding with pets who were nervous I’m currently in college to earn my Associates Degree in Fine arts and for this semester my classes occur Monday thru Wednesday. I’m also working part time Thursday thru Saturday but I would like to be able to dedicate my time to being around animals instead of being in a job that doesn’t treat me well. In the clients home, I’ll take time to ask them details about their pets schedule and activities, as well as any special needs. Once I’m in the home, depending on the pets social meter, I’ll make sure to not force a friendship between us unless it’s on the pets term. The last thing I want to do is bring any unnecessary stress to your beloved companion.

About: I’ve had animals majority of my life from horses, dogs, cat and even small animals like birds and hamsters. I’ve also worked at a Veterinary Clinic for 2 years, as a veterinary assistant and in the boarding services. when working with animals with different personalities and needs, the most important is the greeting introduction, always try for a fear free and slow introduction, to ensure good relations for future meeting. I do have experience with insulin shots and giving medication in different forms (pills and liquids and injections) i work a 8-5 Mon-Fri with a hour lunch i can check in with pets and will be available any times after that or weekends i ensure to follow any rules you may have for your pets or scheduled i like to offer as many walks or potty breaks as needed and of course playing time with enrichment activities

About: I have a degree in animal science so I know lots about all sorts of animals, i love all animals with a passion. I’m a dog mom of 3! Currently working Wednesday from 2-5 and Friday 6-12. So the rest of the week I can play and walk your pups 🐶!! I’m super flexible with my schedule. I have three pups of my own and two acres of land for them to run and play, I do prefer to do walks or in home check ins on others animals though! One of my pups gets anxious around others sometimes. But he’s not aggressive.

About: I love all animals ( maybe more than people) I live on a homestead where I breed and show AKC Chihuahuas, rabbits and chickens. I also am the cat rescue lady rescuing all the barn cats I can. I am experienced in all things fur I currently work full time from home but my parents also stay on my property so there is always someone available 24/7 for any task needed! Especially the cuddle puddles:) My yard is not fenced but I live on 27 acres. Out side time will be leashed for pet safety due to no fencing and me not familiar with the pet. For frequent return customers free run may be available depending on the animals proven training. ( for regular customers I can also work on training commands for an additional charge just ask me about it!!) I do crate when needed( I need to step out to the store ect) or preferred. I also have separate rooms available to separate pets as needed.

About: My family farm is the Madd Hatchery in Hubert. It consists of approx. 40+ chickens, 3 dogs, 2 goats, 5 rabbits, and 10 indoor and/or barn felines. I was raised with animals - young, old, and ill or disabled. We adore the "misunderstood." Over a decade ago, I began my own first business - as an Administrative/Personal Assistant & Pet Caregiver. I solely did this from 2011 to 2017 while I was in school. From Kittens to Chickens is my pet care business now. Don't hesitate to reach out on Rover, Wag!, Facebook, Instagram, or my business email upon request. I am currently employed part time but my schedule is Flexible. I would really like to build a strong rapport and become a Pet Caregiver full-time again. I do not service other animals in my own home as I currently share a small space with other people and their dogs. Owners must provide sufficient supplies to keep everyone safe including Crates, Muzzles, etc. I do not find it wise to have so many animals in and out of my home with the main pets I reside with.
