About: I’m an experienced animal caretaker and veterinary assistant, currently studying to become a licensed veterinary technician. I have over five years of hands-on experience in the veterinary field and offer a range of services including nail trims, anal gland expressions, sanitary haircuts, ear cleanings, basic grooming, and more. I’m also comfortable working with animals who have chronic conditions and have experience administering medications as needed. I'm CPR certified and will be able to take your pet to the closest veterinary hospital in case of an emergency. If you’re interested or have any questions, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to chat! I've always loved animals and my whole life revolves around them. I have a dog, 2 cats, and 6 axolotls. Taking care of them is the best way to unwind and get ready for my day. I could not imagine my life without them. My dog has supervised access to a fenced yard and my cats are indoor only. I would follow your instructions for how to take care of your animals to make sure that their routine is not disrupted, and to limit any stress that they may feel.

“Alison was the most wonderful pet/ house sitter I have had. She took such great care of my dog and house for 12 days. She sent me pictures of my pup which was so appreciated. She even cleaned up her poops! Wow no one has ever done that.”


“Chelsie was wonderful with our 3 dogs. We have one high maintenance elderly pittie who demands attention and she was awesome with him and our other pups. She also left the house in great condition. Very happy with her service!!”


About: Have had animals most of my life. Love to spend time with them and give them love they need. Enjoy the love they give also. I work Monday through Friday day time. Home on nights and weekends. Have a back yard to share with them. Giving time and attention also. I have a fenced yard, caring for the pet is how the owners want them to be taken care of. Treat them like your own.


“Ellie was simply amazing. She took great care of Phoenix who has anxiety issues. We came back to a happy, healthy dog and a house that was as clean as we left it. She was also so great at sending daily updates. We had a worry free trip because Phoenix was in such great hands! Highly recommended!”


About: I’ve taken care of many pets for my family over the years, currently I’m helping my aunt with her high-energy border collie/german shepherd mix. I love taking dogs for walks, playing fetch, roughhousing with them, anything to get that energy out! I’m in between jobs right now and I’m looking to start college later in the fall. My schedule is very flexible and I have lots of free time. I’m good at following verbal/written instructions regarding boundaries within your home, as well as specific instructions about your pets needs. I’ll always ask the owner if I’m unsure about something.

“Grace stayed in our home with my two ridgebacks for 9 days, and everything went great! I never worried about the girls one day while I was gone. She sent me pictures/videos and was always very responsive if I reached out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a house sitter!”


About: I have had dogs and cats since I was 8 years old. I have one large dog.I do not have any cat at this time. I work full time so I am available after 5 pm most weekdays and all day on weekends. I work from 9pm till 5pm I could home for lunch to let my dogs out. I live in Petersburg Va I have one day that stays in his kennel when I am not home and I let out for potty breaks at least three times a day.

“Brittany was great. Very knowledgable and aware that all dogs are a little different and have their own quirks. She watched Eames and Doris, our 2 greyhounds, while we were out for an afternoon. Would definitely reach out to Brittany in the future for dog house sitting.”


About: I have always been taking care of animals! I have a pig, dogs, chickens, a lizard, and fish at home currently. I have also owned a tortoise, and cat in the past! I am ready for any animal, and would to get to know them! I have years of animal caring experience and many references. I currently work part time at Target, but can always work around it! Online school won't get in the way too much either. I am pretty flexible! :) I will always put your animals first and treat them with as much love and care as my own. I am so excited to meet them!

About: I own 2 pomeranians myself. I have taken care of dogs from miniature breeds to very large breeds. Old and young. I have also given medications and shots when required. I have also owned 4 horses of my own and worked on several farms. So nothing really phases me when it comes to medical care for animals as I have seen and handled a lot of very different situations. I work a full time jobs. So I am available mornings, dinners, weekends. Staying at someone's house is easiest for me and usually the pets as well. I don't not have a fenced yard. But in a very quiet neighborhood and my dogs just stay close. I prefer to keep the animals in their own homes where they feel comfortable but I housesit a LOT so my animals are very used to other animals at this point. So whatever is easiest for the homeowner! I just expect clear instructions if I am staying at a house as well as getting mail, trash, and I clean before I leave.

About: I’ve been passionate about animals since childhood. My journey started in 4th grade when I trained my 6-week-old border collie, Bubba, while studying animal behavior for my science fair project. Over the years, I’ve cared for various breeds, including high-energy greyhound rescues and Fila Brasileiros (Brazilian mastiffs). Currently, I care for my two dogs, Karma (12 y/o terrier) and Flóki (7 y/o pitbull), both of whom require specialized care. Karma has Addison's disease, and Flóki has a history of mast cell tumors and severe allergies. I manage their daily oral medications and monthly injections, giving me hands-on experience with medical needs. But, not to worry while I'm at your home caring for your pets, my wife will be caring for ours. Beyond my personal pets, I’ve been providing pet, house, and farm sitting since my teens. My experience includes caring for dogs, cats, ducks, turkeys, goats, horses, and cattle. I’ve fostered animals and assisted with wildlife rehabilitation, learning vital emergency care skills, including how to handle wounds, toxin exposure, and other emergencies. I can monitor behavioral changes to assess wellness and equipped to respond in case of an emergency. My wife, a former animal control officer, veterinary surgical tech, and licensed wildlife rehabilitator, has trained me over the past 10 years, sharpening my skills in pet and wildlife care. I work remotely as a product designer for a health-tech start-up, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to work from home. This means I am present to provide constant care and attention to your pets throughout the day and night. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or medication schedules, I can integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine without leaving your pets unattended. Because I work remotely, I can adapt my schedule to suit your pet’s needs, whether it’s during the week or weekends, ensuring that they receive the attention they deserve whenever required. I understand how important it is for you to feel confident in the care your pets receive when you’re not home. In your home, I ensure that your pets are not only comfortable but also safe. I follow any special instructions you provide to maintain their routine, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication administration, or specific behavioral needs. I bring my experience in monitoring animals for health issues and behavioral changes to make sure any emerging concerns are caught early. In addition, I have emergency vet care experience, so I’m prepared to respond to any unexpected situations. I treat your home with the same respect as my own, leaving it tidy and making sure your pets feel secure and happy in their familiar environment.
