About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and temperaments, thanks to my dad being a military dog handler. From an early age, I learned the importance of structure, trust, and attentive care. I have hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra love and patience. I'm comfortable giving medications, managing multiple pets, and adapting to each pet's unique needs and routine. Whether your dog is big, small, shy, or high-energy, I’m confident, calm, and always focused on safety, comfort, and fun! I’m available for pet care on Friday nights and throughout the weekends, including overnight stays. This schedule allows me to give your pets my full attention and care when you need it most. Whether it’s evening walks, playtime, or overnight companionship, I’m flexible and ready to help keep your furry friends happy and comfortable! When caring for pets in your home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. At your home, I respect your space and routines to keep pets relaxed and stress-free. I also will clean up if staying over the weekend! Open communication with you ensures your pet’s needs are fully met and you feel confident leaving them in my care.
“Madison was a great sitter for my cat. She communicated well her daily visits and I appreciated the photos and the updates on the "report card". She is very friendly and also responded to my texts which I appreciated. Would definitely hire her again!”
About: I have a history caring for many dogs and cats, as well as other species! While I haven’t been doing petsitting through online platforms, I have years of personal and professional experience caring for and getting to know furry friends with a range of different personalities. These sometimes include those with extra needs due to attachment styles and/or medical accommodations. I believe that an animal's health benefits greatly from a loving caregiver, which is what I always strive to be for my clients. As someone with a passion for running and job history of always being on my feet, I am fully capable of giving more active dogs the exercise they deserve. If your pet needs a little extra love, I'm the sitter for you! I am currently working self-structured hours as a children’s book illustrator. Pet care is my main priority during my day-to-day, and I'm always excited when it's added to my daily or weekly schedule. I stay vigilant during walks, playtime, and mealtime to ensure the safety of your pet. If possible, I love to play with your pet during our time together, because they are my top priority and I know how much they miss you (as the owner of a very social, affectionate dog, I completely get it)!
“Amazing as always. Heather takes such wonderful care of my cat! I will forever use her as my cat sitter. Thank you!!”
“We had a last minute booking and Megan was so helpful with us, great care and communication, will definitely recommend and use again. Thank you”

I have a wide array of experience with animals including nine years of horseback riding, raising three litters of bottle baby kittens successfully, caring for my own special needs senior cat with advanced heart disease and stomatitis, as well as dog sitting regularly for four years! I have worked with bloodhounds, poodle mixes, boxers, as well as yorkie mixes. I fostered animals for SPCA for a year in 2019 before the pandemic, through them I worked with a multitude of cats in my home and enjoyed the process of advocating for, as well as finding forever homes for all of my foster babies. Additionally, I volunteered at a veterinary clinic for about a year in high school through a work program that my school offered, through this experience as well as my personal experience with my special needs baby I feel extremely comfortable with animals with medical needs. I am currently a full time student, and my schedule changes every semester. As of today, (07/15/2025) I am on summer break and am available every weekday. During a drop in visit, I will spend a few minutes tending to your animals. If there are toys available, I am happy to spend this time playing, or just chilling giving some good snuggles until it’s time to go. As an owner of a runner myself, I am fairly confident in my abilities to keep your escape artists indoors!

About: My family has had multiple types of different dogs, we breed Dachshunds and also have 2 Cane Corsos at the moment. We’ve always had dogs since I was little and I love them. The same also goes for cats, I’ve had cats all through out my life and love them very much. We’ve just learned that my dad was allergic so we don’t have them anymore but have no problem being around them. I’ve had hamsters and fish. Finally I have a gecko who is my little baby and I love him with all my heart. I am currently working part-time at Kickback Jacks so I have plenty of time to come and help out. I’m and Senior at Riverbend Highschool and get out at 10:20 everyday. My weekends are pretty free for the most part which helps out a lot. I live in Fawn Lake, I have a front and backyard with an extreme amount of space. I have 14 dogs, who are all very loving and playful dogs. I take them all out for daily walks, a couple at a time. If your dog needs to be crated or anything like that, I have multiple in our dog room. All of our pets are house trained and pretty calm for the most part. None are aggressive in any sort of way and they are all big on sleep :)
About: Each pet has their own personality and style and I adapt to exactly what your pets needs and wants. If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want space they get space. It’s all about precious pets needs for me. I provided a 5 star service. My aim is to please and keep them happy. I currently have two dogs of my own and a cat. You can rest assured that if your pets are in my care they will be well-loved and taken care of! I will treat your “babies” like they were my own, not only because I’m an animal lover, but because it’s how I want my “baby” treated while I’m away!! That is my promise to you and your fur babies❤️

About: I have been pet sitting for my immediate family for years, and I am also certified in animal care through high school courses. Additionally, I have two dogs of my own, and over the years, I have owned cats, other dogs, and rabbits. In regards to dogs, I have experience with many different breeds and sizes, and can accommodate to any specific need and administer medication. I love animals, and I do this job to make a little extra money as well as bringing me much joy! I attend the college of William and Mary and I am also involved in a few extracurricular activities here on campus, so I have a schedule where I am only free on weekends. I am able to do any school work remotely, so in case of an overnight stay, it would be manageable for me to safely look after your pets while allowing me to be productive! I live in a dorm room, as I am in college, so I am more than happy to care for your pets at your home. I am very flexible to any accommodations needed for clients homes and would be willing to discuss any specific needs!
