Pet Sitting McConnells

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I am in college to become a Vet I am currently getting my Bachelors in science right now. I was a kennel assistant at a Veterinary office so I know how to administer some medication and can help look for signs of distress and anxiety. I am currently a full time student, so once I get out of class I will go and take care and play with the animals. I will go to your house and feed, play with your animals. If the animals has a schedule then I will follow it the same.

“Alyssa was great to work with. I had something last minute pop up and needed someone to drop in for my cat and she answered right away. It's always a little nerve-racking having someone watch your pet, but he couldn't have been in better hands. Very responsive throughout and was able to administer his medicine as well. I would 100% book with Alyssa again in the future!”

About: I grew up in a family that always had pets and working dogs mostly mixed breeds and some purebreds. I have had two dogs (one at a time) in the last thirty years. My first dog was a registered black Labrador. My wife gave her to me on our second Christmas together. Her name was Genoa - after the Italian city I studied in as a grad student. She passed away at nineteen years old. I now have a Maltese - Shih Tzu. He loves to play fetch even though he is eleven years old. I do DoorDash part-time, so I have a flexible schedule. I can work around your dog's routine to make sure they're fed and exercised regularly. In my experience, animals feel more comfortable and secure in their usual environment, so the only new element is my presence and how I interact with them. I have cared for dogs that need regular medications and exercise, and I maintain their schedule and activities as closely as possible. This is especially important to me when dealing with dogs who are crated or confined. I want to build a strong relationship with your pet based on trust and consistency.

“Kaylee checked on my kitties and they seemed to take to her well - they’ll often hide when people they don’t know are at the house, but they came out and said hi the first visit! Kaylee completed all requested tasks and spent time playing with them. Will book again 🙂”

“Katie has been wonderful with our Mastiff and our kitty! We were anxious about someone that didn't know our pup coming into her space, but Katie came over to do a meet and greet with Remmi before our trip and Remmi warmed up right away as I'm sure she could tell Katie is an animal lover. Katie does awesome with sending updates and a full progress note with each visit throughout the day and night. Would highly recommend her service! Thank you, Katie for taking such amazing care of our special loves. <3”

“Christina is absolutely wonderful and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the very start, she was prompt, professional, and clearly passionate about what she does. It was obvious she treated them like her own. What really stood out was how communicative she was throughout the entire time. Regular updates and quick responses. It gave me such peace of mind. When I had to make a last-minute change to our plans, Christina adapted effortlessly without missing a beat. She was so accommodating and made what could have been a stressful situation completely seamless.”

“Kathryn did a wonderful job with our three cats. She was very engaged with them and did a great job making sure they were loved and well taken care of.”

About: I have had at least one dog and up to four in my family home for the past 18 years. From golden retrievers to chihuahuas, I am comfortable around dogs of all types. I am accustomed to taking dogs on multiple daily walks, consistent on-time feedings, and driving reluctant pets to the vet and groomer’s. I can do everything from simple drop-ins to sleep aways from just playtime to trips to the dog park. I have a part-time work schedule so I can be available to spend most of my time with your dog, whether high-activity playtimes are their thing or long leisurely walks in the park are more their speed. If they need loads of attention, plenty of belly rubs, or a buddy to keep them company while you’re away, I’m your girl. Just reach out and check my availability with my other job, and I’ll run through it with you. The best option for my current situation is to visit your home to take care of your pup. I have two pets of my own, and one of them is too skittish and unfriendly to make your furbaby feel at home at my place. Since I want your dog to feel as little disruption as possible to their day-to-day, I’ll be sure to play with all of their favorite toys, take them on all of their usual walks, bring them to dog parks for extra socialization, and more—all from the comfort of home. Does your pet need to go to the vet or groomer’s? I’m happy to take them if needed. I also like sending periodic photos from each visit to pet parents for more peace of mind.

About: Iv rescued and rehomed 15 kittens and 5 pups. Growing up with a love for animals made it easy to prioritize their health and wellbeing. Iv learned over the years how take proper care of pets and to help guide them in their journey. Though I dont do much rescuing anymore, I still have a passion taking care of pets Currently working part time so I can prioritize days with pups. I am very flexible with my time however, days may adjust based on availability. I have an Assuie so everyday is petcare day! I have up to 2 dogs, fenced in yard with plenty of space to help exercise, and run freely. The free space and outdoor range environment helps

About: I’ve taken care of several types of dogs, all who were different sizes and ages who belonged to family & friends while feeding and walking them. I’m currently home from college looking for pet sitting jobs in the area! I’m available almost every day any time and am willing to do overnight stays if needed. In my clients home I will make sure to keep their space clean and organized while caring for their pet and follow any instructions they may give me. As well as spending time playing with and loving on their dogs.

About: I have lived on a farm and owned pets my whole life! I love animals and I'm very accustomed to taking care of them. I also occasionally house-sit and pet-sit for close friends and family! I am currently a part time college student in Lynchburg and I only have a residential class one day a week. I do work part time as a server so some days I might have to take care of your pet until I go to work in the afternoon and then return in the evening. Dog/house sitting works better for me because I live on a farm with lots of other animals, which can make it tricky to keep other pets in the house.

About: I’ve had dogs in my family home since I was about 10 years old! I’ve watched about 3 different dogs all at the same time and each had different needs. I love animals and playing with them and cuddling with them. Since I was 10 I’ve watched my families dogs and then I branched out to friends as well! I watched pets up until my 2 year of college as I lost a lot of my clients as my schedule got too hectic unfortunately. I am looking to help again as my roommates dog has reminded me how much I miss helping with pets and interacting with them. I am familiar with the puppy stages and all the love and care that it entails I am not scared of any animal not matter the shape and size! The bigger the pet the better the cuddles! My childhood dog is an older puppy so I’m familiar with giving medicine and massages for the older pups! As of right now I unfortunately lost my job due to my location closing down. I am wide open most days all day of of right now but I will be updating my schedule as frequently as possible for the convenience of my clients! I love to play with dogs and I can follow pet instructions very well! I’m not scared to give medicine and supplements and I love to walk dogs and snuggle. I’m also happy to just keep pets company and can bring things to do if your pet just wants people around!

“This was our first time leaving our 14.5 year old and we were nervous. Finding Allison was the best thing! She has her own senior dog and knew exactly how to handle him. Thank you!! We received updates and photos regularly and were actually able to relax on vacation knowing he was loved and cared for. Would absolutely ask her to watch our baby again. Thank you, Allison!”

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, haven’t yet met an animal that didn’t like me. I have experience with difficult dogs, nervous and overly excitable fur missiles. I’m willing to work with them as long as I feel safe to do so but im not a trainer, I don’t know how to make them unlearn bad behaviors and learn good ones. Right now I don’t have a regular full time job, I have been searching and applying but no offers as of yet. I have no kids or pets of my own so I’m available at nearly any time, from drop-in visits to overnight sitting. I understand letting a stranger into your home is unsettling, I don’t take it for granted and I’ll do my best to respect your home and pets. I don’t currently have my own home, I live with others so I’m unable to board pets. It tends to be less stress anyways for the pet to stay home where they are in a familiar environment. Unless they have a rigid routine involving sleeping in your bed with you, and won’t go to bed otherwise, I tend to stay on the couch.

“Mya was awesome! My cat was clearly very well cared for and she did a great job and keeping the litter box clean. Would definitely recommend her to others”

About: I have been house sitting for friends and family since I was probably around 14, so for almost 20 years now in total. As I got older, I started pet sitting for others outside of my regular friend/family group, and I just never stopped. I have frequently taken care of dogs, cats, horses, birds, and bunnies ❤️ With the proper instructions and safety measures, I am willing to meet any new pets. I will help with mail and plants as well if needed. I am blessed to be able to stay at home. I am available almost any days and times, as long as I have some kind of notice. I currently have four dogs. When not inside or outside, each dog has their own crate on the air conditioned back porch(glass doors from the porch open into the fenced in back yard), when needed. We have a large yard with plenty of sun and shade. Feeding schedules vary at times, but for my animals I try to keep the time of day as consistent as we can. When caring for other’s pets I follow whatever schedule they already have set in their home.

“We couldn’t have taken our trip if we hadn’t of found Ruben! We have old, high maintenance dogs and he was perfect for us. He’s patient, experienced, dependable and just a really great sweet guy! Would absolutely recommend Ruben to anyone I know ;)”

About: I have a 1 year old pup who is very welcoming and playful! We will ensure that your dog is safe and comfortable in our home. And if your dog is not as friendly, we will make arrangements to accommodate. I work remotely and my schedule is very flexible. I am home all day. I am also very active so I will take your pup outside so they can play and explore. I can adapt to any situation . Your furry friend will be safe in my home. I will ensure to maintain a calm and friendly environment!

“Kyla was so communicative the entire time we are away! The pictures and videos she shared definitely left me feeling comfortable and confident that our chatty friendly kitty was being well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Kyla and will be rebooking for sure!!”
