House Sitting in Millenbeck

“Shemoy worked closely with us to make sure our dogs were comfortable before we left them. She treated our babies like her own and always kept us fully updated :)”

“To say Linda was phenomenal is an understatement. This was the first time I left my fur-sister for more than a few hours. Nervous at first we were relieved when Linda came for the first meet and greet. Kia instantly loved her and welcomed her into her world. From the minute we left until the minute we got home Linda kept in touch with us. With pictures, texts and updates. She even started teaching Kia French!!! To think we have a bilingual dog now!! I cannot say enough about how happy we are with Linda and now feel even happier that we found Kia’s furever sitter!!!!”

“Karolina took great care of Jack and Micki while we were out of town. Jack snuggled with her on the couch like they had been best buddies for years. She also sent pictures of the pups while we were gone and she was very responsive to messages.”

About: I have experience in daycare/boarding settings, i have experience with high drive dogs, I do dog sports with my own personal dog so i am pretty confident in my handling skills. I have done years of research on dog related things some including understanding body language, knowing when a dog is uncomfortable or needs to be removed from a situation, what things are good and what are bad, how to use training tools properly if needed, learning the genetics of dog breeds and just over all temperaments that certain breeds have. I grew up on a farm full of dogs and other animals ive always owned dogs especially bully breeds ive been around dogs will all ages, behaviors and sizes my family and friends all know my love for animals and how good i am with them and how much i care about them even when they arent my own. I currently am unemployed, i am a stay at home dog mom and aside from the occasional grocery store run i am at home with my dogs. I will care for your pet to the best of my ability and under any instructions that may be given to me. I will care for your pet like they are my own and keep them as safe as possible while under my care!

About: Hello! My name is Alyssa and I am a 20 year old college student remotely studying Psychology and Criminal Justice. I’ve had dogs and a cat since I was young and was always held accountable to take care of them! I took a Veterinary Science class in High School and dealt with animals on a daily during this course (Bunnies and Puppies.) I have recently owned hamsters and fish as well that were 100% my responsibility. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have 4 years of paid experience with pet sitting for neighbors. Animals deserve the world and I love to make a difference in their lives even if they don’t understand it :) I am also willing to negotiate pricing based off your animals energy/need for attention/etc. Please reach out to me with any additional questions and I’d be happy to answer! I am currently a college student who is taking online courses to work on getting my degree. Other than daily assignments, I have no other daily commitments and will be available 90% of the time, other than my planned unavailability on my calendar! I have a large front and back yard with plenty of room to play. I do have an indoor/outdoor cat but she keeps to herself and is never a bother. I could easily keep her separated from your pet. If in your home, I will be sure to take all the steps you request and go above and beyond to ensure you and your animals are comfortable.

“Lily and Philip are the best. We are currently going through a challenging period, and they are always ready to help when we need them. They not only cared for our dogs but kept our outdoor plants alive in this heat!”

“Absolutely fantastic and reliable. Michael is reliable and loving. We can finally enjoy vacation knowing our cat is completely taken care of.”

“Victoria is great, she is always very responsive and cares deeply for the pets she looks after. You can tell that she loves what she does and that she cares for your pet as if it were her own. My dog absolutely loves her and gets excited every time he sees her. I would definitely recommend her, and will absolutely hire her again in the future.”

About: I’ve had experience with rescue animals in my home since my childhood. I began working as a pet sitter and dog walker (babysitter as well!) at 14, which has always been my favorite job! I was able to get a job as a kennel assistant in a veterinary clinic at 16 and worked my way up to a veterinary assistant position. I have dealt with administering medication and other veterinary procedures, and dealing with more special care required animals. I’m a college student taking online and in person courses through the local community college, so I have a pretty open schedule. Working a traditional job in college can be quite stressful, so I’m giving this a try! I have been working in other people’s homes for several years babysitting and pet sitting. I’m happy to clean dishes, take out trash, carry in mail and packages, and any other simple tasks. I always try my best to clean after myself and the fur babies each visit!

“Kellee took great care of Peluche while we were in DC overnight. He was a happy boy! We are looking forward to having her back to care for him in February.”

About: Responsible, dependable, have three large dogs and two cats of my own, enjoy making sure they are taken care of and well loved. My retirement dream is to have a senior dog sanctuary, love to get out and walk. I work in healthcare. Growing up we also had dogs and they went with us everywhere because they were part of the family. My three crazy pups now are rescues from the shelter, it amazes me no wanted them, shelter pups make the best companions. I will make sure to clean up after them and that they have plenty of fresh water after their walks if hired. For longer visits I would prefer my own house as long as everyone gets along I currently work fulltime Monday thru Friday, available on weekends and evenings. Other times can be discussed. If able can do check ins on unscheduled dates if you are running late getting home Provide sanitary clean up, my yard is fenced in, will not leave unattended in the yard, lots of toys to play with in the yard.

“Melanie was very communicative and my dogs seemed to love her!”

Raemarie D.

“Absolutely amazing with the dogs. Kept us up to date with them and went above and beyond. Would recommend to anyone! Will definitely be hiring again.”

Casey M.

“Nicole was excellent! Both of my cats LOVED her. Mimi was feral and normally won’t come out of hiding for most people, but Nicole had her playing and snuggling !! She sent pics and/or videos every day and made me feel completely safe and comfortable that she was watching my home and cats. I’d give 10 stars if I could! Thanks Nicole!!”

Tracey B.

“Kate was so GREAT!! She accepted a relatively last minute booking for a 12 night sit and was so amazing with Cooper. She sent picture, messages and made things special for Cooper while she was here. She even hung out later than expect when my flight was delayed. Cooper was happy when I arrived home and and everything was in order. I will absolutely use Kate again!!”

About: I’ve never lived a day in my life without having a dog by my side, and I can confidently say that I can’t imagine it any other way. From puppies to our older friends, I love them just like they’re my own. After many years spent with different breeds, sizes, and ages, I am also well versed in pet first aid and common health conditions. I am especially fond of senior dogs and would be honored to care for them. I have recently begun a full time job in Richmond but still petsit often since I truly enjoy it. My schedule best suits check ins with pets in the mornings or evenings. You will never have to worry about how your baby is doing. Because of my own personal (and very anxiety inducing!) experiences with being away from my boy, I am very diligent about keeping pet parents in the loop.

“Lindalyn rose to the challenge of my dogs...a 17 yo, a 9 yo and a 3yo crazy puppy. She was very flexible when I had to change the day due to the weather. Her dogs were lovely and got a long with my crazies. She is welcome in my home anytime and I will definitely be calling her again!”

Cindy S.

“Morgan was great with Frankie! She made sure she got some extra love while we were away. She also kept the house clean and was respectful. We will definitely book Morgan again.”

About: I have experience with all animal types including dogs, cats, horses, livestock, birds, pocket pets and some reptiles. I am a licensed vet tech so I am also comfortable medicating animals that need it. I have 7 dogs, 6 cats, a leopard gecko and several chickens, all of which are friendly with other animals. I will only accept animals into my home to be boarded that are dog-friendly. I will treat your pets as if they are my own no matter if they are being boarded or just going for a walk. I do work full time but I am able to make drop in visits around my work schedule. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding your pets and their needs while you are working, vacationing, etc. I can care for pets early before work, mid-day and late after work. On weekends my schedule can be more flexible depending on what activities I have going on. Any dogs that come into my home will be treated as if they were my own. I have a fenced backyard for the dogs to play in. Boarding dogs will have their own room to hang out in.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. Neighbors and family have relied one me to keep their loved one safe. Animals were always my passion. I currently work full time at a bank but I get long lunch breaks and I will see your pet in the morning and evening. I always make sure they have everything they need! I will always make sure your pet is in a safe environment. I will get to know their likes and dislikes and never put them in an unsafe situation.
