About: Caring for animals has never been just a job for me, it's something I genuinely love. Over the years I've cared for pets and animals in many settings, from shelters, to nature centers, and private homes. Each experience has taught me how deeply animals and pets rely on trust, patience, and kindness. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sitting quietly beside a shy pet. I make it my goal to give them the same love and comfort they'd get from their own family. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily and weekly routine, and I prioritize it alongside my professional goals. While I am currently seeking full-time employment, I remain committed to providing consistent and reliable care for the pets I look after. I structure my schedule to ensure that feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins are never compromised. When caring for pet stays in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable and safe in a clean, pet-friendly environment. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while keeping routines consistent with what they're use to. When caring for pets in clients homes, I respect both the pet's routine and the clients space. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to medications, while keeping the home tidy, and secure. I focus on making pets feel at ease while their owners are away by maintain their normal environment and daily habits.

About: I’ve taken care of every type of animal out there; cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, birds, etc. I also foster cats and have 11 of my own plus 5 dogs who all love cats. I’m a veterinary medicine student who is wanting to spend some time with some other pets out there! I’m currently a full time student, so I have no time restraints. I’m all for last minute arrangements, as my mother is a very last minute person haha. I’m always down to come hang out with some furry friends and keep them for a sleepover if needed! I have five dogs of my own, all of which do very well with cats and other dogs. I also have 11 cats who roam free in my house, but it’s just my mother and I living in a four story home, so I’m very fortunate to have the extra space! I also have a fenced in back yard and plenty of extra bedrooms to keep kitties if they may feel overwhelmed.

About: Love pets! Have two dogs at home myself with my wife and two kids. We are happy to look after your loved ones and treat them with the same care that you provide yourself. We would treat your pets like our own family. We would be quick to call you with any issues we are noticing with your own pets. We can work with your schedule to accommodate your needs. There are plenty of animals around our neighborhood as well, so walks would be a lot of fun for your pets. Our fenced in yard allows your pet to roam free without fear of them escaping. Pets make our lives better overall is my belief and I hope that you are willing to trust your pets with us! Plenty of time to play with animals especially on the weekends, happy to take them places, parks, trails, etc. Spending time with pets just makes life better everyday. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of toys for them to play with in our yard. We also have dog beds inside and plenty of water bowls.

About: I’ve always had a deep passion for animal care. I grew up on a farm, caring for animals every day, which taught me responsibility, compassion, and respect for all creatures. Today, I share my home with two rescue cats I found as kittens in a dumpster. They are truly the light of my world. Because of this, I understand how important it is to have someone you can fully trust to care for your pets while you’re away. I’m currently a full time college senior at JMU. I also have a part time job working at a preschool. I love to watch pets as another side job/hobby. I have full availability on the weekends and some availability during the week. I care for pets in their home by following their daily routine, including feeding, fresh water, playtime/walks, and cleanings. I provide plenty of attention and ensure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: Growing up I have always adored animals! From big to small, but especially dogs! They are just energetic fur babies, that just need all of the snuffs in the world! I frequently foster dogs from the local SPCA to give the babies a break from the shelter in hopes of finding them a forever home! Expanding upon my love for four legged animals I worked in a local groomers, as a dog washer! Giving the dogs from big to small baths! So I have experience from big to small, young to senior! I am currently taking classes at BRCC twice a week as well as I work a part time job during the week at 2:45-6:00 pm! So I have plenty of time during the week to care for your fur family! Meanwhile on the weekends I work at a local dinner from 9:30-4, so if you are looking for an over night stay or dinner/ evening walk I am your gal! Unfortunately because i currently live in an apartment, It would very on the breed/ age of the animal! As I would want them to feel comfortable in my space! However I am more than comfortable and happy to make home visits, as I have reliable transportation!

About: I grew up with several pets and have had several of my own. I currently have a Bor-doodle dog who is service trained. My family used to train and groom dogs so I’m educated on that as well! I have a very open schedule as I am an online college student - so I can be as available as your pet needs me to be! I care for pets by feeding them, walking them, taking them on hikes, and making sure they get the attention they need while their owner is gone!

About: Hi everyone! I’m a nursing student at Blue Ridge looking for extra money to help pay my tuition. I’ve had dogs and cats ever since I was a little girl. I used to live on a farm, so I’ve also had rabbits, horses, chickens, and more. As well as I also used to volunteer at an animal shelter for a few years and loved it! As of right now, I have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So anytime after 5 pm on those days, I’m free. Besides that, I’m free Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends! Since we don't have a yard, I walk my dog about three times daily, and he gets plenty of monitored playtime outside. As for my cat, he's an indoor-outdoor type, so I just keep his food bowl full and let him do his thing!

About: I raised two Boston Terrier sisters from pups to senior dogs. I'm familiar, comfortable, and prefer the sheduele that a pet dog(s) requires. As well, I've rescued several stray dogs that were later adopted into loving families or relocated to their home. I am passionate about the safety, care, and basic needs of each pet with intentions to exceed expectations above and beyond. I only work part time, majorly during the morning hours; therefore, I'll have plenty of time in the afternoon and evening to care for your pet! Also, I have complete open availability during the weekends. I would love to spend my free time getting to know and love your pet! I have a massive yard for pet play with plenty of grass, trees, and free range to roam. Although I have three cats, they are all indoor and outdoor which works perfectly depending on your pet's own personal needs regarding other animals too. Most importantly, your pet would be in a quiet and loving environment surrounded by nature.

About: I am a dog lover, I have been taking care of dogs of many kinds for the past 5 years. I will be very loving and caring towards your dogs. I will play with your dog and do whatever instructions needed. I am currently studying abroad in Florence Italy and won’t be able to dog sit until June 9th. I am looking for something that is regular but can also do drop in visits. I will put your dog on a leash when going on walks and can crate your dog if needed. I will keep an eye on your pet at all times.
