“Agnes was great! My dog was being stubborn and she still managed to coax her into taking a nice walk and make her happy. Would trust Agnes with my dog again anytime.”

“I was extremely nervous about using rover my Koda is 70Ibs and absolutely insane in the best possible way. Tyler reassured and explained to me how everything was going to work. When tyler came to the door Koda was in protective mode, thankfully tyler didn’t get scared off instead he suggested a new approach to them meeting and once Koda sniffed him he immediately let tyler take the leash! He was amazing and I will definitely be scheduling with him again!”

About: Hi! Im Erin and I LOVE animals! They are our "furry babies" and we have a duty to make sure they are well taken care of like any other family member! I've been caring for pets since I was a child and have welcomed several breeds and varieties in my home over the years from cats, dogs, birds, bunnies, snakes, turtles, even horses and pigs! I have a cat and a bunny who are friendly and love meeting new pets! My cat Oliver is a loving and cool "big bro" and my bunny Lucy will keep everyone happy and energetic! I know its hard to leave those precious babies home alone while you work all day so let me be their "best friend" when you need the help! I am an Insurance Agent so I work from home most of the week. I have my weekends off but I have time during the week to care for your pets in between meetings and in the evenings. I am not hosting at the moment due to renovations in my home, but I will gladly come to your home to take out your pets or to feed and keep them company while you are away on business or holiday. I am willing to stay at your residence to care for your pets if accommodations are available. I will be willing to wash and perform light grooming if needed and take them where you'd like with and other amenities your pet may need. All can be discussed and negotiated for the situation.

About: Hi there! My name is Maxienne, and I’m a dedicated pet lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your furry friend needs attentive care at your home while you’re away on vacation or during the holidays, or just some extra love and attention during the day, I’m here to help! Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine, as I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care for pets while their owners are away. My special focus is on supporting deployed military members by offering long-term pet care services during deployments or extended underways, ensuring their furry companions receive consistent, high-quality care in their absence. During the weekends, I’m available from 8 AM – 8 PM for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. Overnight stays and services outside these hours can be arranged with advance notice to accommodate your pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s daily check-ins, playtime, or extended care, I strive to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I provide personalized pet care in my clients’ homes, ensuring that their furry friends stay comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment while their owners are away. My services include: - Dog Walking (Weekdays & Weekends): Whether it’s a midday walk while you're at work or an early morning weekend stroll, I make sure dogs get the exercise, enrichment, and potty breaks they need. - Drop-In Visits: Perfect for feeding, fresh water refills, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I tailor each visit to meet the specific needs of dogs and cats, ensuring they feel safe and cared for. - Overnight Pet Sitting: For pets that need extra care and comfort while their owners are away, I provide in-home overnight stays, keeping up with their regular routines, feeding schedules, and offering plenty of love and attention. - Veterinary & Grooming Appointments: If your pet has a scheduled vet visit or grooming appointment, I offer safe and reliable pet transport to ensure they receive the care they need. Throughout each service, I prioritize routine, comfort, and safety, keeping pet owners updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind while away.

“As always, Ryan is incredibly accommodating and always takes such great care of Nelson. Always prompt, responsive, and communicates frequently when he’s caring for Nelson. Thanks again!”

About: i’ve always loved animals and grew up cats, dogs and chickens! i started walking dogs in the neighborhood when i was ten and have been caring for animals for friends and family every since! i have a lot of flexibility and am able to do drop in care and walks most days. morning and afternoons are best for me but i can make exceptions when needed :) i’ve been providing drop in pet care for years and your pets safety and happiness are my biggest concern. i provide dog walking, or care when you are at work or out of town and unable to feed or let your pets out.

About: I started working as a vet tech at 17 and have two years of boarding experience at a veterinary hospital, well versed in schedules and procedures including medication and special needs. Currently working but flexible schedule, willing to work with your needs! Older/less active dogs preferred but happy to play with a puppy when so necessary. I worked directly beneath the boarding manager and trained new staff in observation, care schedules, and proper safety protocols. I also form bonds of trust with any animal I’m working with to ensure their and my comfort.

About: I have five years of pet-sitting and house-sitting experience as a form of income, but I have been a pet owner and lover of animals for my entire life! Friends, neighbors, and colleagues have hired me by word of mouth, so pleased with the level of care I provide to their home and/or fur-baby. I currently work full-time, Mon-Fri with late afternoon (starting at 3pm) and full weekend availability. I have two cats that I love and care for with all my heart. While I make coffee, I obey their need for a morning treat and roll up the window blinds so they can watch the birds as the sun rises. Our morning routine. I go to work, come home, and give them all of my attention. I care for my clients’ pets in their preferred way, with whatever is relayed to me. Then I always add a little extra love and care. I make sure to know any allergies, places or animals to avoid on walks, and preferred discipline strategies. When I am house-sitting, I follow the instructions handed to me while being sure to make it seem as though I was never there upon my departure. Clean, cozy, and better than when you left it.

“Brendan was wonderful with my dog and was great at communicating. I felt like my dog was in good hands and I would highly recommend him to anyone!”

About: I stop and play with every pet that I meet. I love animals and want to continue my journey with pet care. I am open to doing sitting and walking. I am open to walking in the mornings at anytime after 6am. The sittings will have to be scheduled more in advance as I do have a job. I live on campus so I’m not able to host animals but I am able to walk dogs that live close to my community and I’m able to dog sit if you live close.

“Was available last minute when no one else was to help me out when my sitter canceled last minute. Even asked if my Jerry can gave a treat after his walk. Thanks Larry!”

“Vivian is the sweetest! My puppy loves her, and greets her like family when they met. She is very prompt and extra accommodating when a few hickups came up. Loved getting her review and rover card details from their walks.”

Sheela B.

“She's very communicative, willing to work around availability, and my puppy loved her.”

About: I raised my own dog from when she was 2 weeks old until she was a senior dog and passed away when she was 19 years old. I also have experience working in kennel care and doggy daycare. I have also been a continuous volunteer at animal shelters and adopted my own dog from a shelter. I will love your pets like they were my own and provide passionate care. I am dedicated and will provide loving care to your pets! I'm currently working as a substitute teacher, so my days start early but end in the early afternoon during the school year. I would have plenty of time to take care of your pets, especially during the summer. I have open availability during the weekends as well to offer more flexibility. I offer drop-ins and walking services for your pups! While I am in your home, your pets will be in a safe and loving environment, just like if you were there. I will not slack in the care of your dogs and will adhere to the schedule that you may provide. I will also provide transparent communication, including pictures and daily updates.

“Julia has been so communicative! She is detailed in her notes and really takes care of my puppy!! 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have been caring for other people’s pets since I was 16. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely love. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’m attentive to each pet’s needs- whether that means playtime, walks, sticking to routines, or simply keeping them company. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m currently a medical student in my preclinical years, which gives me a flexible schedule with limited in-person requirements. During the summer I have generally open availability, so I’m able to provide consistent care, walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can often accommodate last-minute bookings depending on my schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and pay close attention to their behavior and individual needs. Whether I’m caring for dogs, cats, or other animals, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and attentive environment. I’m careful with feeding routines, secure handling, and making sure pets feel comfortable in their own space. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: 👋Hi everybody! My name is Madison and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I am a current Masters student at EVMS studying surgical assisting. I am unable to work full time due to the rigor of the program so I love watching pets as a part time job to put myself through school. 🐶I have experience with senior & adult dogs, cats, administering medications & puppies! I also volunteer at the Norfolk Animal Care Center in my free time to help out the shelter animals and be involved in my local community. 🐱If chosen to care for your pets I will treat them with the love and respect that I would give my own pet. I love to send photo updates to the owner so that you can be assured that your pet is in safe hands. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! My class schedule is very flexible so I am able to offer frequent potty breaks and walks as needed! This allows me to follow the routine that your pet is already accustomed to I grew up with dogs in my parents home my whole life. My own dogs are spoiled and loved so much, so I will be sure to treat your animals the same way. My dogs love walks, playing outside, snuggles, and treats. I can promise that your animals will be treated no different than my own. I currently do not have any pets in my apartment

About: I grew up with two dogs, one very shy and one very happy but scared of other dogs. Both sadly passed due to illnesses; therefore, I have experience in caring for sick pets. I have dog walked in the past with a variety of dog sizes and breeds. I am a graduate student and work part-time. Pet care will fit in around school and work, but I stay on top giving me free time to help out fellow pet parents. Even if my calendar is blocked out for a particular day, feel free to message me and I'll see what I can do. I have experience with an anxious dog and currently an anxious cat so I am able to create a safe and comfortable atmosphere. I like to allow the pet to get comfortable with me in their own way and time and only greet them in small bits (i.e., letting them sniff my hand a few times before petting). I am organized to ensure pets have what they need before I leave (whether my own cat or for client's pets).
