About: I have been in the pet industry for 15+ years including veterinary, retail and boarding. I also did house and pet sitting for a good friend of mine many times. I have worked in the petcare industry for more that 15 years. Most of it as a retail manager. I've done veterinary and boarding jobs also. I'm ready to basically become my own boss and do what I really love. I am still a part-time retail worker and full-time homemaker but would love to include your pets in my everyday activities! I have fur babies and scale babies of my own. This includes 1 dog, 3 cats, 2 tree frogs, 2 leopard geckos, 1 hamster and multiple fish. They are not only my hobby but part of my family. My dog and cats are allowed on furniture so they can cuddle with us.

About: I've had experience taking care of dogs since I was the age of 10 years old. I have done this for family and friends for many years and even assist with grooming needs. I also have experience with giving medications to pets as I have worked as a veterinary assistant in the past. I am currently working at an elementary school but going to school to allow me to have a work from home job. Until then I am more free in the afternoon and evening but I am able to free up some time in the morning to help out. During the summer I do summer camp, working the afternoon/evening shift; however, I am able to adjust my schedule as needed. I have a fenced in yard here at my house so my dogs have free range of the back yard, however when we did not have one we had them out at least every hour. Our dogs get feed twice a day, morning and night, but I can switch however to fit your pet best! During my free time my boyfriend and I like to take our dog, Rico, to go hiking and swimming. We would love to be able to bring him a friend!

“I only needed a few minutes with Liz and my dog to know he was in good hands. Liz has been prompt, reliable, kind, and competent. Perfect person to walk my skittish dog.”


About: I have three fur babies, golden retriever x2, and a blue heeler mix. Having animals is such pure joy. The dogs run the home, I just live here! Dog hair and slobbery kisses … I wouldn’t want it any different. My fur babies are happy and very generous to other animals. We have fun here. So bring your dog over, let them jump on the couch, and play with my pups! I work part time, but have a very flexible schedule. I have two boys at home that would give your pups all the love they need. I have a small fenced in yard for your pups. We enjoy talking walks, and playing fetch. My fur babies are the sweetest things and will get along with your pups!

About: I've taken care of cats all my life and dogs from time to time. From back when I was a teen at home with our family cat to my own Tuxedo Kiwi I've been caring for cats all my life. I have a deep understanding of cat body language, respecting their boundaries, and providing the attention and care they need. I work from home as a software developer and am looking for something to break up my day between calls and project tasks. Being a remote worker means I don't get much excitement day to day. Let me change up my day to day by helping you out with your pets! I live in my own home with plenty of space for walks, trails nearby for exploring, and an open and clean home for time away from the sun.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I provide loving, attentive, and reliable pet care tailored to each pup's unique needs. I’ve worked with senior dogs, anxious pups, and dogs with medical conditions—including those requiring daily medication, injections, or special diets. I’m confident handling everything from post-surgery care to mobility support, and I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and cared for. Whether it’s belly rubs, slow walks, or a strict medication schedule, I’m here to give your dog the same level of care and attention I’d give my own. I work part-time, so I have lots of flexibility to spend quality time with pets during the day and evenings. Whether it's walks, hangouts, or just keeping them company, I can fit it into my weekly routine. I'm also open to overnight stays if your pup needs a buddy at night! I care for pets in their homes just like they’re my own—keeping their routine, giving lots of love, and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while you're away.

About: Hello! I am a responsible, dependable, young working professional but a lady of many trades! One of those side gigs includes pet sitting furbabies! I am very outdoorsy and enjoyed hiking and trail running with my dogs (my Jack Russell Terriers recently passed away). :( In my undergrad days I worked for a professional petsitter company and have checked on a variety of critters over the years. I have cared for pets in a variety of settings; including overnight visits, transports, daily walks or just hanging out for play time. I would be happy to take your fur baby out for a hike or a game of fetch! I've cared for everything from puppies, horses, farm animals, wheel chair doggies, old kitties and everything in between! As a child I had a desire to be a vet and much prefer spending time with animals (small and large) over humans! When I am not out in the forest adventuring you can usually find me hanging with cute fur babies and talking to them like they are humans. :) I am also human wilderness first aid and CPR trained. I try to work with people on scheduling as best I can! I have a fairly flexible schedule but need a heads up to accommodate usually. I am a early riser and let my dog out super early so welcome early a.m. visits as your place or mine. Can also accommodate hectic travel schedules, I.e met at airport late flight arrivals, change of plans. I have a unfenced yard but plenty of property for daily walks. Property sits against fenced in horses on 1 side. I am routinely around during the day.

About: My wife and I have both grown up around dogs and absolutely love the warmth and loyalty that they provide. I had a Dachshund growing up, while my wife had a German Shepard, Mastiff, Yorkie, and a Vizsla. We currently have a rescue Jack Russel/Beagle mix who is absolutely full of love and energy every day! We both have experience with puppies and senior dogs. My wife has also had lots of experience with dog walking and sitting including caring for Golden Retrievers and Labs. I am originally from Roanoke, VA. After moving to Florida and working for the Walt Disney Company for 5 years, my wife and I moved back to Roanoke to be closer to family. We are fully available to help care for your fur baby! We have experience with crates and will happily crate any of your pets. We will always use our utmost respect, care, and love with your pets!

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Throughout my life there has always been a dog in my home and 3 dogs at once for the most. My family has rescued dogs and given them the best second chance at life possible! Those dogs have come from horrible conditions and were met with countless walks, treats, and cuddles when they found their forever home with my family and I. My animal care experience ranges from puppies as young as 6 weeks old and senior dogs who need regular medication. My love for animals has extended far beyond my own as my friends rely on me to watch their pets when they cannot. My love for animals can even be seen in my education as I am minoring in assistance dog training at my university. This program has given me countless hours of caring for puppies and training dogs around 1 1/2 years old to be service dogs. I have extensive education in dog behavior and training and love finding ways to involve animals in my daily life. I have a singular dog in my home right now but am free throughout the day to check in and walk your pets! I have a few dog sitting gigs throughout the summer but plenty of time during the day to make sure your pets needs are met! I have one dog in my home and she is treated like a queen! We regularly play outside, get pup cups, go for walks, and cuddle on the couch. I am always finding excuses to buy her new toys and take silly pictures of her. When I am taking care of clients pets I treat them like my own while following the owners specific guidelines. I am good at sticking to feeding timelines and giving medication if that is needed. I love them like my own so they are happy while their owners are away.
