“Ripley underwent some big life changes recently. right after i started up a new job with a long commute, she lost her best (dog) buddy, who she was used to spending her days with. all of this meant Ripley was going to be spending 12+ hour days all alone. But then we met Dana, our Rover dog-walker! Now Ripley gets 30-minute adventures 2-3x a week, complete with photo updates and little synopsis of what went down on the walk. Getting the Rover notification, “Ripley’s been picked up for her walk!” is the highlight of my day. She’s in amazing hands, and I’m one grateful, teary-eyed dog mom. This looks and sounds like a Rover ad, but i’m not getting paid for it. I do highly highly recommend Dana - she is in Staunton. If you’re thinking, “my dog isn’t easy- she can’t be walked by just anyone” - that is exactly what i thought. Dana brings her husband on walks, and he can help manage the strength of a giant breed, (Ripley weighs over 100lbs) Also, if you think that your dog is too skittish to be walked by anyone other than you, I thought the same thing. Dana and her husband weren’t afraid of Ripley’s initial reaction to them. They stuck around for about an hour to wait for her to calm down and they gained her trust. They even introduced Ripley to their kids.”

About: With over 50 years of pet ownership and caretaking experience as a foster through Lab Rescue of Greater Richmond, I would treat your furry friends as my own. I’ve had both dogs and cats and am comfortable administering medications and working with pets of all ages. As a retiree with no pets of my own at the moment, it’d be a great joy to take care of yours. I’m fully retired so I have plenty of time available to devote to the care and well-being of your pets. I’m happy to do scheduled drop-in visits during the day or overnights if needed throughout Augusta County. As a former foster parent, I have worked with dogs of varying comfort levels and special needs. I would take care of your pets with the same level of care and support as my own. I’m just as happy to go on a nice walk as I am to be a couch potato - whatever your pet needs, I’m here for them.

About: Hi, I’m Katherin. I live in the countryside with my husband, our Great Dane, two cats, and a flock of eight chickens. Animals are a big part of my everyday life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I also enjoy gardening, spending time in nature, and being surrounded by animals—whether I’m at home or helping care for yours. Growing up, pets were always part of my family, and my very first job as a kid was pet sitting for neighbors. Since then, I’ve continued caring for animals of all kinds—my own dogs and cats, as well as those of friends and family. I’ve had the pleasure of looking after pets ranging from tiny Yorkshire Terriers to gentle Great Danes, and I’m experienced in administering medication and providing senior pet care. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I’m not working another job, so I can dedicate plenty of time to your pets—and eventually, I hope to make pet sitting my full-time work! When I’m house sitting, please note that my husband works a 12-hour rotating shift—three days one week and four days the next. On the days he’s working, I’ll need to return home briefly to care for my own pets. During that time, I’d be away from your home for no more than 6 hours. Your pets’ comfort and well-being are always my top priority, and I’ll make sure they’re settled and cared for before stepping out. A few years ago, my husband and I used Rover for the first time, and I know firsthand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pets in someone else's care. Fortunately, it turned out to be a wonderful experience—our sitter kept us updated with messages and photos, and we came home to happy, relaxed pets. That peace of mind was truly priceless. I carry that experience with me every time I care for someone’s pets. I’m committed to providing a safe, trustworthy, and stress-free environment, just like I’d want for my own animals. Regular updates, clear communication, and attentive care are all part of how I help you feel confident and comfortable while you're away.

About: I’ve been around dogs, cats, and even farm animals since I was very young. I worked as a kennel technician at a vet in college, so I have plenty of experience with animals, as well as administering medication. I grew up helping my parents out at their doggy daycare and boarding facility. Friends and family always give me a call when they need someone to watch their furry friends! I am currently a student, so I have lots of free time throughout the days during the week, as well as weekends to take your pups on walks, or pop in when needed to check on your feline friends. I am very passionate about making sure your furry friend is happy and relaxed when I arrive at your home. I will ensure your pup/cat has everything they need to keep them happy throughout the day.

About: Hi, I’m Leanne! Dogs have always had a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’ve spent years looking after dogs of all breeds and sizes, from growing up with family pets and fostering for a local rescue to caring for my own beloved Goldendoodle, Remi. She was with me for 10 wonderful years and taught me what it truly means to care for a dog like family. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust completely with your dog- not just for feeding and potty breaks, but for companionship, affection, and consistent care. I treat every dog I look after as if they were my own, offering patience, attention, exercise, and support for any medical needs. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care in your home where your dog feels most relaxed, I’m here to help keep their routine smooth and stress-free. My schedule is flexible, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. If you have any questions or just want to connect before booking, I’d be happy to chat. I look forward to meeting you and your pup soon. My schedule is flexible and I never leave the dog unattended for long periods of time if I’m dog sitting for extended periods of time. I care for each pet as if they were my own, always staying mindful of their unique needs, sensitivities, and any triggers they may have at home, outside, or around others.

About: I have taken care of many different breeds of cats and dogs in my 18 years. I’m saving for college to become a vet ! I’m currently working between 12:30 and 10:00 tues-sun at Sweet Scoops in Stuarts Draft. I’m willing to work around those times to meet your animal needs ! ! I have an open yard with lots of acres. I have a long driveway and I’m willing to walk the whole mile with your pet.
