“Heather always does a great job with our pup! Due to my ongoing changing schedule, I often reach out to her the night before I am in need of her service. She remains flexible with times and is great with communication!”

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.

“Celeste is a life saver. She jumped in when my normal walker had a kidney transplant.”

About: As someone who was raised on a fully functioning farm, animal husbandry has been a part of my daily routine since I could walk! I have experience with almost every domestic animal under the sun, but dogs and cats have always been very personal to me. I would love to extend my love for pets to you and your fur family by caring for them as I would my own. Caring for pets is my full time job! I am highly flexible and usually able to accommodate whatever you and your furbabies need. When house sitting, I will need to leave at least once a day to check in at my house, but otherwise your pets have my full attention. I want your pets to be safe and happy. I am willing to take on whatever routine you have established to make your time away as easy on your pets as possible. Safety and fun are my top priorities!

“Isa saved my butt doing a last minute walk when my other sitter just didn’t show up. She has always been very responsive and flexible. We appreciate her so much!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, I have a cat currently and family members have always had dogs and cats. I volunteered at the Humane Society throughout high school and have lots of experience pet sitting! 😻 I also used to foster kittens which I loved doing. I love being around animals and caring for them. I am a student working part time, so that gives me plenty of free time to check in on your furry friends throughout the day, take them on walks, and spend the night with them! I am a trustworthy person who will respect your space as I would my own and leave it better than I found it. I am an EMT-b and am working on my RBT certification, so I have been through several background checks and first aid trainings. Safety and trust are very important to me and if desired I can frequently send you pictures/videos of your pets throughout the day! 🫶

About: I have dog watched for my neighbors every time they leave for town for multiple weeks in a row. I was responsible for walking and feeding them as well as checking on them every hour. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m available any time of day, any day of the week—including weekends. I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s schedule to make sure they get the care and attention they need when you need it most. I will spend more than the minimum hours with your dog and make sure they are happy. I will play with them and run with them if needed. I will be respectful of your house and make sure everything stays organized and neat.

About: As a pet parent myself, I understand the worry and anxiety that can come with leaving your beloved companion in someone else’s care. That’s why I promise to treat your pet with the same love, compassion, and attention I give my own—because they’re not just animals, they’re family. I’ve been caring for pets of all shapes and sizes for over 15 years. My journey began as a kennel staff member at an animal hospital, where I learned the foundations of professional pet care and developed a deep appreciation for the trust pet owners place in their caregivers. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and other small animals—each with their own personalities, needs, and quirks. I have experience administering medication (both oral and topical), working with senior pets who need a gentler pace, and supporting animals with anxiety or special needs. Whether your furry friend needs high-energy playtime, a relaxing walk, or simply someone to sit quietly with them, I tailor my care to make them feel comfortable, secure, and loved. I’m known for being dependable, detail-oriented, and communicative—I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. Whether you're away for a weekend or a few weeks, I'm here to provide peace of mind and a positive experience for both you and your pet. Because when you're not home, I want your pet to feel like they still are. I am currently a stay at home mom and have the daily flexibility to ensure your pets needs are met accordingly and to your standard! Your pet's safety and your home's security are my top priorities. I understand the trust it takes to welcome someone into your personal space, and I don’t take that lightly. I treat every home with the utmost respect—keeping things clean, secure, and just as you left them. I'm mindful, responsible, and always aim to leave both your pet and your home better than I found them. You can count on me to follow your instructions closely, respect your privacy, and keep you updated regularly. Whether it’s locking up properly, caring for houseplants, or maintaining your pet’s routine to a T, I take every detail seriously. Your peace of mind means everything, and I’m committed to creating a safe, calm environment your pet can feel comfortable in while you're away.

About: Hi there! My name’s Nikki. I’m 28 years old. I’ve had dogs my whole life, cats too! I’m a full time nurse with two fur babies of my own at home (Ozzie; my 3 year old super fluffy husky and Goose; my 1 year old all white shepherd). I understand what it’s like to need someone to watch over your babies who you can rely on and trust that they’re in good hands. I spent summers as a little girl with my dad helping train dogs/puppies. I have experience giving medications, shots, drops, and caring for animals on special diets. I’ve always loved animals of all shapes and sizes (dogs, cats, horses, chickens, you name it)! We love play time, going for walks, and/or snuggles on the couch while we watch a good movie. I can assure you your babies will be in the best of hands under my car and will most DEFINITELY be spoiled rotten! Reach out with any questions or concerns you may have :) My hours are flexible with work. I typically work overnight shifts 1-3 times a week and any other time I work is usually 4-6 hours at a time during the afternoon/evening. Most weekends are free. If I’m not around for 6+ hours, my partner helps me out with my fur babies and will gladly help out with yours as well. I have a few acres I live on, no fence yet but we love walking around the land and exploring (leashed of course). I have plenty of room for crates if need be. I have two very friendly pups who are eager to keep your babies company!

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for nine years. I’ve also walked dogs at the Lynchburg Humane Society for years, and petsitted for and walked many others over the years. I’m available all summer thru mid August for pet walking/sitting. I’m very flexible due to my part-time work and am always open to last-minute requests! I have years of experience pet sitting within owners’ homes and am willing to accommodate whatever needs they have for their own home and their pets. I adore animals and have enough experience caring for them to be confident I can provide a positive experience for everyone involved.

“Jessica has been a wonderful caretaker & companion to our sweet, old dogs. I would definitely recommend her to my family, friends, & co-workers for their pet care needs. Jessica was so nice to meet us prior to booking her services & sent pictures of her visit, as well as bring our sweet boys a treat or two. Our dogs usually have terrible separation anxiety & stop eating, yet with Jessica's help they didn't miss a meal, a belly rub, a treat, or a walk. Thank you so much Jessica for taking such good care of our furry family members! We appreciate you.”

About: I’ve been around a lot of animals in my life and I have worked with dogs to a whole room of reptiles at a camp. I lived along side a parrot most my life and cats as well. I have been pet sitting for a lot of my life for friends, neighbors, and family! I pride myself on my love for animals and my ability to bond with them. I’m happy to do anything asked of me as well to make it easy for the pet owners and easier for the pets. I currently do not have a job because I left teaching to further pursue something I love which would be animals. Besides doing little trips here and there, I will be available most days, especially the mornings and evenings (so morning walks and evening walks for bed time). I can stay over night at houses as well. I am, of course, fine with weekends as well! I am working on making this my career as much as I can. I am trying not to have to go too far from home for dog walking but house sitting and pet sitting I’m fine to go farther especially when staying at the house there. It will cost more though. I am good with crating and good with most size animals. I work with all sizes. I love to interact and love on the animals instead of just going in, feeding and letting them out and that’s it. Unless for some reason your animal doesn’t want loving, I will do what they prefer. I also am always willing to brush your fluffy babies, I can help with that as well! I will only have myself and no other animal with me because I will not bring an animal to my home. I will like to meet and greet just to make sure I and the animal will get along okay.

“Nice, gentle, and knowledgeable.”

About: I’ve had pets of all sizes, shapes, and needs. I’d love to take your dog for a walk, feed your bearded dragon, or snuggle with your cat. Working from home allows me the flexibility to give special attention or break for a walk any time of day! Your pet will love laying at my feet, exploring my fenced in back yard, or getting some exercise on a walk around town. I have a fenced in yard and an old, friendly dog and 3 cautious cats to keep your pet company. Your pet will have run of the house like they’re at home. I am happy to crate your pet if that is your preference.
