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: Ever since I was born I had an animal right by my side . I have learned to take care of animals and provide for them. I have taken care of friends, family and neighbors pets in the past. I also have worked at a dog daycare called tail chasers so I have experience with big dog groups. I’m good with cats as well . I’m experienced with walking multiple dogs at a time because I got 3 myself. I’m currently working 3:30 am to 12:00 pm so I will have plenty time to spend with your animals. I’m free on the weekends as well . Willing to come to your place to house sit and take care of your animals. I have done that in the past for people. Willing to also stop by and give water, food and walks with some play time on the side .

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.

“Took my walk on very short notice very patient and great communication with the whole thing.”

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.

“Thanks Brittany!!”

About: I’ve owned a black Labrador(Anna) for over 13 years, she has not once had any sort of health issue as I’ve feed her well, and kept her up to date on vet visits. I’m caring, compassionate, and smart and versatile enough to be calm in any situation that may arise. I assure you that I will treat your pet as if it were my own. This allows me the freedom to stay focused on your pet and be there when other folks have to leave. If a situation ever does arrive my strength are communication so you can rest assured I will be in constant contact, which as a pet owner for an older girl myself id expect from others if I left her in their care. If the pet requires adequate exercise I have no problem going on a long walk with them and the space is pet friendly as my dog (Anna) is there. In your home, I can assure you that my experience will allow me to provide the best care for your loved ones.

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.

An LSU graduate with a full-time job, I am always willing to accommodate scheduling conflicts. My own pets include a rescued kitten, an emotional support dog, and a Sheltie I've raised from birth.

I am available to care for your babies! Currently I work full time, 8-5, with weekends and holidays off. Thank you for considering me and please message me for any questions you may have. I always pay close attention to an animals body language and actions to make sure they are always safe and feeling okay! I would give your pet a great, comfortable environment as if they were my own. I wouldn’t want anyone doing less for mine, so why would I do less for someone else’s pet?

“Gwyneth takes great care of my dog Knox, would recommend to anyone in need of a dog walker!”

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: Have had dogs all my life, small/large and medically complex needing meds, love to train, have done cat sitting for medical cats and normal ones I am currently a student in college but only have 2 classes a per week, also am active and am willing to change schedules around :) I am currently not taking pets for boarding as I have my own dog now, but would love to take care of your pets at your home and provide them with enrichment whenever you need/want.

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've cared for dogs my whole life, having worked with them in a more professional setting for the last 10 years or so, sitting, walking, and training. I studied Animal Behavior at Virginia Tech with an emphasis on shelter dog behavior and training, working with local shelters to prepare dogs for their fur-ever homes! Positive reinforcement is my specialty, and I've worked with all kinds of dogs to help with behavioral concerns and basic skills (e.g., walking on a leash, sitting/staying, etc.). In undergrad, I gained experience administering medication as well. I also have experience with large dogs and I love working with them! My schedule is very flexible, so spending an extended time with your animals is my goal. Typically, I spend at least 45 minutes with any animal I’m checking in on so they have a little time to calm down after the initial arrival and playtime. I am a full proponent of always keeping dogs on leashes when not in a secure location. Using long lines (30 ft leashes), I can play fetch or other games with your animals. If that doesn't sound doable for you, I also can walk them and then play some games inside to get their minds tired as well as their bodies. Everyone has different rules for their pets, so I will follow any guidelines you set.

“Melissa is amazing! My pup loves her. She walks him weekly and she is always on time and communicative. We needed someone to start right away and she met up with us prior and was a perfect match! If you’re needing someone to watch your babies, she is the one to go to!”

Corbriyana W.

“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!”
