Highlights
Pet care experience
I love pets and treat them right
I’ve grown up surrounded by animals—dogs, cats, and even foster pets who stayed with us until they found their forever homes. This lifelong experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to adapt to each pet’s unique personality. I’m especially comfortable with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra care and gentleness. What sets me apart is not just my love for animals, but my hands-on experience with fostering and helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in new environments.

Ratings and reviews
Hayden is the absolute sweetest and most accommodating! We had several changes in our trip schedule and he made everything feel at ease and very responsive. He was wonderful at sending pics and updates and even took the on walks around a lake which my pups adored! Such a mature patient kind young man. I wish there were more stars to give and we hope he will host our pups again ☺️
Hayden has cared for my dog several times and always does an amazing job! My pup absolutely loves him and gets so excited everytime she sees him! Hayden is very responsible and a great communicator who always provides updates on how my pup is doing! Everytime I need a dog sitter Hayden will be my first choice! Thank you Hayden for all you do!
Hayden worked with IDog Rescue to care for Doodle rescue dogs as they prepared for new homes. He helped them settle into their temporary home, supported them in decompressing from the stress of change, and provided daily care, including feeding, walking, playing, and vet visits. Hayden is gentle, caring, and patient with every dog. If rescue dogs could talk, they would thank him for his love and support during a stressful transition. He treats every dog as if it were his own, and I highly recommend him.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I recently moved to the area from Northern Virginia and I'm in college at Virginia Western Community College. I currently live at home with my parents in Goodview, VA. I have my own pet suite in our finished walk-out basement - equipped with a pet friendly couch, bed, open space, and direct access to the backyard. I'm open for pet boarding / doggy day care on weekends and school breaks, including Holidays. I can also drop in for care visits in the late afternoon and during some weekdays.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I currently have two dogs of my own (a Goldendoodle and a Labradoodle), and they’re truly part of the family. At home, I make sure they get plenty of walks, outdoor playtime, and lots of attention. I always follow the same approach with pets I’m caring for—making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for just like my own. Since I have my own pet suite, we can keep the dogs entirely separate, without compromising care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I pay close attention to their needs and routines.

A typical day
Typical fun activities with dogs include playing fetch outside, giving sniff time to dogs outside on our walks, cuddling, petting, and running around with them outside. We have 10 acres and access to Smith Mountain Lake for doggie swim time if desired.
