I work remote for a non profit so I am able to spend the whole day with your animals. I work remotely for a non-profit so I am able to give your pet the attention and care they need. Being outdoors and exercising is a huge part of my life so your dogs are sure to get their exercise in! I am a courteous guest that treats other peoples homes with the same respect as I treat my own. I am not able to host pets at my current living situation but am happy to come to you! I promise to provide your animals with the care and exercise that they need.

“Lily was great all the way thru our trip and before. She came to meet the dogs twice before our trip. Sent updates and pictures throughout and left our house in the same condition as when she arrived. My mom's dog is nervous and had never been left with a sitter before and Lily was patient and sensitive to her needs. We will definitely be calling her the next time we need a sitter!”

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 6 years old. I love taking care of them, making their days full of fun and ensuring that they're healthy and loved. I walked my miniature daschund and chocolate lab side by side for years, so I got a lot of experience with a range of sizes and types of dogs. I’ve worked with the Blue Ridge Humane Society as well in my career. I cared for and interacted with puppies, teens and old doggies with all sorts of medical problems, temperaments and personalities. The attention and care they deserve will not be missing when I am around. I now have a bordercollie mix of my own, and he has taught me even more about what makes dogs happy. I have experience house sitting for neighborhood pets, experience giving medicine to dogs, taking care of elderly dogs and youngsters. I also volunteered at my local SPCA throughout college and got a lot of experience handling different levels of leash-trained dogs, and reactive dogs. I am currently between roles in my career, due to a sudden loss in my family. I am available to care for your pets whenever they need and I know they deserve the utmost love — since my pet is keeping me going these days too. My first priority is making sure your animal feels safe around me and comfortable. Once I gain their trust, whether it’s instant or over a few visits, I will be sure to learn their favorite ways to live and provide that for them. I will walk them on their favorite trails, give them their favorite scratches, snuggle if they need or just let them have their space and potty breaks. I listen to the animals needs and respond.

“Sydney is professional, attentive and was very good watching our labradoodle, Stash.”

“Kat is absolutely wonderful. Her communication, from the time we first connected, has been exceptional. She took such good care of our girl Hannah and even played in the snow with her! She stayed in touch, as needed, while we were away. I would highly recommend her and hope we can continue to book with her.”

About: I have been a guide dog puppy raiser for the Seeing Eye since 2016 and was responsible for their general care, obedience, and socialization. I also have experience with our own rescue dogs and cats. A few summers ago, I worked at a dog boarding facility and provided general care for all different breeds of dogs. I would love to take care of your pet in your home so they are less stressed. I am also happy to provide dog walking and daily check-ins when you aren't able to be home. I currently have a very flexible schedule and I am available on week days and weekends. The more lead time I have, the more flexible I can be. I will happily keep your pets on their daily schedule as you see fit. I am comfortable playing with the dogs in a fenced area or walking them on a leash.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. Growing up, my mom had five dogs—some of which had puppies—and I helped raise and care for them. I’ve also cared for cats in multi-pet households, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and creating calm, safe environments for shy or senior cats. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I now have a black Yorkie of my own, and I treat every animal I care for like part of the family—whether they bark or purr! I currently work part time- and have lots of free time! I will send out a daily schedule of what I’ll be doing with the pets! I will take your dog out on walks on our neighborhood trail outside! I also have a few ring cameras, and will send a lot of pictures/videos throughout the day.

“When we were planning a trip out of the country, we wanted someone who was serious and committed to doing the best job they could for our cats and our house. We found this in Michael, who quickly earned the love and trust of Bagheera & Laska, our 2 cats. They are so different in personality and temperament it's hard to believe. Michael quickly won over the shy, cautious Laska, and became Bagheera's best buddy for playing and walks around the yard. He's not a snuggly cat, but he trusted Michael enough to even sit in his lap. We also felt that we could completely rely on Michael to do anything that was needed. When we got back, the plants had been watered, the house was as we left it (messy but clean), and the cats were happy. We trust Michael and highly recommend him.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10. Whether it was my personal dog or family and friends, each dog was cared for as my own. I can provide a safe and interactive environment for your animal while you are away. If your animal has any unique needs, I would be happy to support with training while you are away. I will care for your pets as you do, ensuring that they get all the playtime and tummy rubs they could ever want. I have the flexibility to work from home, so your pet will be monitored and walked consistently. This also makes it easy for me to adhere to any normal routines that you may have already set. My neighborhood has many walkable areas, trails, and parks for your dog to enjoy. I appreciate any opportunity to be outdoors and I would be happy to bring your dog along!

About: As a dedicated dog walker and in-home pet sitter with over two years of experience, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I care for every dog (and cat!) as if they were my own — with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs and routines. What You Can Expect: ✅ Safe, fun, and tailored walks ✅ Home visits that follow your pet’s schedule ✅ Clean water, food, meds (if needed), and lots of affection ✅ Daily photo updates and messages so you never have to wonder how things are going ✅ Respect for your home and your pet’s space I’m trained in basic pet first aid and always check collars, leashes, and gates before heading out. Whether it’s a quiet walk or an energy-burning play session, your pet's safety and happiness are always my top priority. Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet! I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help make your time away stress-free for both of you. 🐶🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because of how flexible and rewarding it is. Since I set my own schedule, I can book pet care clients around my part-time job shifts and study blocks, which helps me stay balanced and productive. Walking dogs gives me a much-needed mental reset from screen time and studying, and it keeps me active throughout the day. It’s also a great way to supplement my income without taking on another traditional job. Most of all, spending time with animals brings me a lot of joy and motivation — it breaks up long study days and reminds me why I love what I do Whether you’re at work or away for a few days, I provide reliable, in-home care that keeps your pets safe, happy, and stress-free in their familiar environment.

About: My dog passed and I miss her company! So I love having visitors to keep me company and play with while working from home :) Work from home, I'm free to walk the dogs first thing the the morning, around noon and anytime in the evening and spend the whole day with them if needed :) Quiet home, no children, no smoking, no other dogs or cats - just fish n two birds, half way fenced Yard, but very safe. We can walk around the neighborhood, there is a park down the street as well and the back yard.

“Alexxis was absolutely amazing with our dogs, Poppy and Beale, while we were away for the week! She took such great care of them and spent lots of time keeping them company. She even noticed when Poppy had bloody urine, acted quickly, and took her to the vet — we’re so grateful for her attentiveness and care. Alexxis administered antibiotics and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dogs adored her! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with her again.”

“Maranda was fantastic. I really can’t say enough positive things about our experience with her. She was quick to learn and work with the idiosyncrasies of our two cats, took care of our house which was immaculate when we returned and communicated with us while away as much/or as little as we requested. She is very personable, respectful and responsive.”
