About: I have taken care of animals most of my life, and have had anything from dogs and cats, to chickens and ducks, snakes, goats, llamas, etc. I have successfully trained dogs in basic behavioral skills and administered medication of various forms to all my animals. I also have confidence with even the largest of breeds, having owned a cane corso, among others. I have experience leash training as well as acclimating dogs with new animals and curbing unwanted behavior. I work full- time, but can work with you, especially if I can plan ahead by a week or more. I do occasionally leave town, but again, can generally adjust my schedule accordingly. I prefer to allow animals freedom to roam around if possible, but understand animals have different needs. All walks are leashed, no exceptions unless you have a fully fenced and secure yard you prefer your pet to run around.

About: I lived around both dogs and cats my whole life, with both family and roommates, and I absolutely love it. While I'm not in the position to have my own furry friend at the moment, I love to care for animals. I spent about a year (2025) volunteering with the MCACAC shelter cats and dogs in Christiansburg, including participating in their training courses, and now feel confident bringing that experience to work with pets that already have found their families as well. I'm currently job hunting, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I am available throughout the day. I am occasionally out of town for travel or job-search related activities. My apartment is is pet-free, so I cannot host pets at this time. As far as working with pets in your home, please let me know your house rules. I generally use whatever items the pet uses at home (leash, treats, etc) for the sake of consistency for the pet and pet parent.

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and have been tasked with taking care of others dogs as well. I would love to take your dogs on walks, play fetch in the backyard, or just lounge around all day. I have yet to meet a dog I didn’t like and am not afraid to deal with any messes if needed. I will be here over the summer and have no other obligations so if your animal needs someone there full time I would be happy to hang out with them! I care for pets by providing a comfortable and loving environment for your pet while you’re gone. I am more than willing to do whatever it takes to make your pet feel like it’s just another day at home! I understand some pets may not react well to strangers initially, but I am extremely patient and will work with your pet to reach a trusting relationship.

About: I have grown up taking care of many dogs, horses and cats. I will treat every pet as it it were my own. I work full time but over the past few years have been a successful part time dog walker. I am comfortable with medication management and animals of all ages. I am available on the weekends for walking, drop ins and boarding. I am available most evenings for walks and drop ins. During the work week my schedule may vary. I have a large fence in backyard. I can easily crate your dog or keep in his or her own room. Same goes for cats - if boarding they can stay in their own room. I am used to caring for multiple animals at a time and keeping them separate and safe.

“Katie has been great with Indie, communicates very well, and is on time and flexible with our dynamic schedule needs so we are thankful to have found her and plan on making her our regular walker for the foreseeable future.”

About: I have owned dogs all my life and have worked with an independent dog sitting company over the summers. I am a Virginia tech honor student looking to take care of love and play with your furry friends! I take online classes so I have a very open availability when it comes to pet care. I have a car so I have an easy way of traveling. I am a trained dog walker with all sizes and breeds. I work at the animal shelter as a volunteer and I have worked to care for pets my entire life. Your pets safety is my top priority.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds ever since I adopted my fur baby. Friends and neighbors rely on me all the time for dog sitting, walking and check ins. I have experience in training puppies, handling traumatized dogs and administrating medicine. I guarantee that your dog will love mine and my family’s calm, loving presence. I work from home and I’m able to give full time attention to your fur baby. I provide lots of walks and enrichment: games, puzzle toys, sniffs around the neighborhood, hikes, short and fun training sessions and more! I’ll treat your dog as mine. I have an unfenced yard and a friendly pupper to keep yours company. I live in a walkable, safe neighborhood and I’m home full time.

About: I'm majoring in animal science and am planning on applyingn to vet school next summer. I've taken care of dogs and other pets my whole life. I've worked at a doggy day care and as a veterinary assistant at a vet clinic for dogs and cats. I'm currently on summer break and have a part time job working at an equine vet hospital. I am looking to walk dogs on my days off!! I enjoy going on long walks with dogs around neighborhoods, and will always make sure your pet stays hydrated during these hot and humid summer days.

“Emma was amazing! She came before to meet with me and Rosie so that we were both comfortable and Rosemary wouldn’t just see her as a stranger. She came on time and walked my girl over a mile!”

About: I’ve looked after my neighborhood pets since I was 13. I’ve primarily cared for dogs and cats, but I’ve also looked after hermit crabs, a bearded dragon, fish, and canaries. I’ve looked after all different kinds of dogs of all different ages. I have experience with both crate trained and free-roaming dogs as well. Owners trust me to make sure water bowls are always full, follow their usual feeding times as best as I can, have nice walks outside, as well as spend some time playing before I head out. I am back home from college for the summer looking for a part-time job, so my days are mostly free to look after your pets! When visiting your pet at your home, I’d give them time to get used to my scent. I’m comfortable with both crate trained pets and free roaming pets. I take this position very seriously and will take the best care of your pets while you’re away!

About: I’ve had dogs of all kinds my whole life-dachshunds, labs, doodles, German shepherds, etc. I’ve assisted in training puppies, caring for older dogs, and more. I currently have a part-time job so I will have plenty of time to look after your dogs! I can walk/let them out several times a day and also stay the night. I am very concerned for the safety of your animals. I will always make sure all necessary doors and gates are locked and that there is nothing dangerous in reach.

“Thanks Brittany!!”

About: I am a college student studying to be a small animal veterinarian who has grown up with dogs my whole life. I have trained dogs almost my whole life from search and rescue, dog sports, as well as service work. I have lots of experience with dog sitting and walking, as well as having 2 dogs of my own. I have been working at a vet clinic for about 2 years, furthering my experience with animals. I am currently a sophomore in college, but my class schedule is pretty flexible with long breaks in between classes to care for animals. Outside of classes, I have some hobbies, but nothing that is too time consuming to prevent me from walking/taking care of dogs and cats. In my townhome, we don't have a yard, but the dogs will get walked to go potty about every 2-4 hours and will get a long walk once or twice a day, depending on what they need. In the client's home, I will spend time playing with them or just giving them attention, as well as long walks to tire them out.

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s animals for over 10 years. I also have worked as a veterinary assistant since 2020. I graduated undergrad in 2022. I’m currently a full time veterinary assistant at VMCVM ICU. I currently work an overnight schedule but am available during the day! I will be returning to vet school again in January after a short leave of absence I’m able to walk, feed, give medications, and play with your animals! I’m comfortable with all types of animals with a variety of health problems and temperaments. I currently work night shift so I’m available most times during the day! I also am free all weekends so I have plenty of time to spend time with your pets! I currently live in a house with a fenced in yard. I care for my own dog and have him run around the yard for lots of exercise. Although I wouldn’t be using my house for stays, I am more than happy to spend the same amount of time caring for your pets!

About: I've had a dog all my life except for the brief interlude (1965-1970) while I served in the Marine Corps. Since my kids have grown and left home my dogs are now my babies. I'm retired and have a lot of time on my hands. I'd like to have the option of caring for someones pet now and then to give me something to do. I love dogs and rarely met a dog that doesn't love me right back. My dogs are almost always with me. Excepting - going to the store in the summer when the temperature in the car would be too hot. I make sure my dogs are safe and comfortable.

About: I have over 500 hours of dog watching and raising experience (outside of my own pets) and spent over 800 hours volunteering cat care for kittens and disabled kitties I am a grad student with a totally flexible schedule and can work from home easily if needed! I will be able to incorporate your pet into my routine seamlessly. I also have the ability to fully care for your pet at their own home. I am able to be there often if needed or can stop by for occasional visits based off your own needs.
