Mr. W.

About: Hello! Welcome to my page! I am experienced with caring for everything from mice to horses and 18ft reptiles. Specializing in puppers and equine of all shapes, sizes and personalities. Currently own two shepherds and a chiweenie. I am looking forward to helping keep your furbabies happy while your away. I am currently working from home so that will free up my schedule to assist with your care needs. My schedule is fairly easy to adjust. My personal puppers are spoiled couch potatos and avid toy chasers. If your furbaby prefers cuddles on the couch to an full hour of outdoor play then so be it. Walking, tug o war, Frisbee, tennis balls, you name it and we can make it happen

About: Hi! I’m MacKenzie, your pet’s new best friend and part-time squirrel scout. While I might not have a fancy pet-sitting degree, I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, and my own dog (a.k.a. my four-legged child) has taught me plenty—especially about basic training, reactivity, and the art of treating every leaf like it’s a masterpiece. I’m also a pro at giving meds and following care instructions to a T, so your pet’s routine won’t miss a beat. Plus, as an avid hiker, I’m more than happy to take active pups on day hikes for a little extra adventure! I get that every walk is a big deal, every squirrel is a personal nemesis, and if there’s a cat involved, they’re probably running the household. And yes, I’m here for my own steps too, because walking is my therapy! I'm currently in between full-time jobs, so I have ample flexibility for pet care throughout the week—perfect for midday walks, medication administration, or just dropping by to say “hello”! If your pet lives more than 30 minutes from Petersburg, they should be comfortable being home alone for up to 8 hours once I return to full-time work. For now, my schedule is wide open, especially on weekends! Routine is important to me, and it’s no doubt important to your pets! My primary goal is always to limit the amount of change, so feeding and potty break times will be strictly adhered to. If there’s valuable training you’ve worked hard to implement, it won’t go to waste! Don’t be shy about letting me know exactly which cues and commands to use, and any other little personality quirks I should know about.

About: Energetic person looking to take care of energetic dogs. I love animals and love to take care of them. I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I’ve had a variety of breeds like Chihuahua, German Shepherds, Beagle, Terrier, Retrievers. Many of my pets were abused and shelter animals. I have experience with both large and small dogs. I’m comfortable with Mastiffs and Rottweilers. Most dogs love me even ones that are typically shy around strangers. You won't be sorry hiring me. I will take care of your dogs like they are my own. I think they can sense when a good person is around. I think dogs are one of the smartest and most intuitive animals around. I love to play with dogs and love taking them on walks. We can even play fetch or cuddle, whatever they like. You can trust me with your dogs and have no worries they are being taken care of properly. I will be your pet’s BFF. My schedule is flexible and I am a non-smoker.

About: In the past as a housekeeper, I was also tasked with walking 3 family dogs in the morning and evening. They were all rescue dogs so they required a lot of love and attention but that was the easy part. I’ve also cat sit for family friends and friends in college. I currently work part-time as a youth organizer and a little extra cash would be great. A little extra love would also be great and that’s where our furry friends come in. Though I don’t have any of my own, I love dogs big or small but I adore cats mean or sweet. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions or requests. - Chey S.

About: Hey there! I'm a proud military member and animal shelter volunteer with 10+ years of experience caring for pets of all kinds—dogs, cats, and even the little critters! From playful puppies to sweet seniors, I’ve got the skills to handle it all. Need meds given or special diets followed? No problem! I’m all about keeping your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free. I’m big on communication, so you’ll always know how your fur-babies are doing. With me, it’s not just pet sitting—it’s personalized, loving care that gives you total peace of mind. Let’s make sure your pets have a tail-wagging good time while you’re away! Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day, I dedicate specific times for walks, feedings, playtime, and any special needs such as administering medications or training sessions. I schedule my work and personal activities around my pet care responsibilities, ensuring that each pet receives consistent and attentive care. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate various needs, whether it's daily visits, overnight stays, or extended care. This dedication ensures that every pet in my care feels loved, safe, and well-attended to throughout the week. In my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment for pets by providing a designated area with comfortable bedding, toys, and plenty of space to roam. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walking, and playtime, ensuring each pet feels at home. I also have a secure backyard for supervised outdoor activities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain the pet’s usual routine. I ensure their environment is clean, provide fresh food and water, and engage in regular play and exercise. I also send daily updates and photos to keep owners informed about their pet’s well-being. My goal is to provide personalized, attentive care that meets each pet’s specific needs, whether at my home or theirs.

About: A dog is truly Mans Best Friend. I do have a kind heart, and I love for animals. I would treat your baby as my own. I have been around animals for the most part of my life. Just this past year two my dogs (Shakee Biton age 15 and Casper Coton de Tulear age 16.5) have crossed over to the rainbow bridge. Snowball (Bichon age 17) is still with me and just loving fife. Snowball loves going for car rides to the local country store for a hotdog. She also loves her daily neighborhood walks. She has 27 sister Hens, tow Roosters and for baby chicks.

About: I have been a loving pet owner since the day I was born. Over the years, I have cared for a number of beloved pets, most of which were adopted as strays or from local humane societies. My spouse & I currently have 3 wonderful dogs, 1 cat, 2 mini pigs and 4 chickens (soon to adopt 6 more). I have been through the full life cycle with my loved ones, from training them as puppies to additional care needed as seniors. Every animal I have ever met tends to gravitate to me and I am more than happy to provide attention to every one of them. Hopefully your best friend can become my friend as well. I have recently found myself moving on from my previous employer, of which I dedicated 10 years to as an Operation Manager. As such, I am currently working with a fairly open schedule Mon-Fri to pursue a more fulfilling and enjoyable career path with animals. Our home is fenced for outside play, with an additional fenced area to keep our chickens and pigs separated from our dogs when needed. While not immediately in line with boarding, if the interest is there and a good working relationship is established, I will expand upon services available. Typical care such as feeding, providing water, walking, etc. are all manageable For house visits, any additional services can be reviewed prior to agreement.
