Pet Sitting in New Market

“Kathrine is such a great relief in this area! I had a last minute need and she was so wonderful about helping out ❤️ She’s obviously very caring and nurturing, and gave my fur babies (who are both geriatric and puppy, not easy!) the same love I see she must carry as a natural mother. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals, including dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, chickens, and ducks. I’ve also house-sitted on multiple occasions for family, friends, etc. I’ve had pets since I was little and can take care of any pets, including walks, house-sitting, and plant care! Currently in college, but on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, I am free for most of the day! I would also be able to walk or do drop-ins in between classes. Whatever responsibilities required for your pet or house shall be followed. If the dog or pet needs crating I can easily crate. I can take care of plants, houses and pets.

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.

“Bridget was fantastic with our dog! Sent us lots of pics, was super responsive and confirmed the day before when she’d be arriving. We will def use her again!”

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: 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 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 have had animals from dogs to ferrets since I was a little kid. I also worked at a dog kennel for about a year I’m trying to get a job closer to home, something I can do while doing cosmetology school, any other time will be with your pets If they have a specific schedule you, go by their schedule, make sure they get lots of play time, and they should always be happy

I would prefer mornings and early afternoons for long walks in order to beat the heat! I am a college student so I can provide my schedule for long term customers. I always keep a leash on my dog when I take her out, not because she needs it but as a precaution. I am willing to crate dogs if necessary.

“Moriah did a great job and was super patient with my nervous pup. Once he warms up, he is fine, but he gets really nervous meeting new people and Moriah really worked to win him over.”

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 have been around dogs my entire life. There isn't a time I can remember not having dogs around my entire childhood. So, I went into a dog-centered field. I am certified as dog obedience trainer, and have worked with my parents senior Westie. I am currently staying at home, so I have a lot of time. My husband works five days a week, and I would love to have a job. Usually Monday through Thursday are good, nine to three. I am hoping to eventually be able to board dogs overnight. I love dogs. They are usually all so friendly once they know you, and I enjoy loving on them. You can rest assured I will do everything, within reason, that I can do to keep a dog safe and healthy.

“Very happy with this experience!!!”

About: I am offering my help to those who need someone to feed/walk/check on their animals while they are away. I would be greatful for the opportunity. I am currently looking for a job right now so my schedule is open. I love all animals and want to be someone you can trust to take care of your pets while you areaway. I am not looking to board any animals. I would be more comfortable coming to your home to help with whatever animal care you may need.

About: I have grown up around animals but also have watched others animals since I was at least 12. I work at an equestrian barn and primarily petsit dogs and cats. I greatly enjoy my time with the animals. Ask for more details! Petsitting fits into my weekly routine so well! Whether it’s popping in for a walk or feed time, boarding, etc., I am dedicated. I have a lot of free time in the summer and during the school year (I’m a teacher), I also find time before and after school to recharge and take care of animals. In my home, I make sure the client and pet are comfortable with the arrangement and altar anything needed within reason. In a client’s home, I will provide care as requested specifically. This will vary, depending on the service.
