House Sitting in Nottoway Court House

“Erika did a great job housesitting and watching our two golden retrievers. She was thoughtful in buying the dogs treats and asking permission if feeding them extra. She considerately sent picture updates and videos over a period of about 10 days. She was flexible staying longer on the last day and was communicative the entire time. Our house was spotless when we returned which she didn’t have to do and we really appreciated that, I would definitely use Erika in the future.”

“MacKenzie was fantastic! We had a family member cancel with short notice for watching out 2 dogs and 3 cats for a week while we were going on vacation. I quickly hopped on Rover to see who was near us, and decided to message MacKenzie based on other reviews that had been left. She was quickly able to come over and meet our gang to make sure it would be a fit. After that initial meeting, my husband and I both felt very comfortable and confident with her coming to stay and take care of things while we were gone. The day we were supposed to leave, we ran into some issues but MacKenzie was flexible and fast to communicate. She was very punctual and sent brief updates/questions throughout the week (she has our preference on communication and we had told her we didn't need regular check ins or updates). When we got home, we could tell our dogs and cats had missed us, but it was also clear that they had been well taken care of. Overall, if and when I may need another house & pet sitter, I wouldn't hesitate to reach back out to MacKenzie and I won't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for help.”

“Gina did a great job petsitting our cat and dog for an overnight at our house. In addition to scheduling a meet and greet before house-sitting, she kept us updated with her arrival and departure time and shared photo updates with us during the stay. Our place was clean and tidy when we returned, and our pets seemed happy and content!”

About: My love of dogs started about 5 years ago when I rescued my first dog. Since then, I have acquired a load of knowledge not only in how to care for them, but also how to train them. I can provide mental and physical stimulation for your furry friend and bring most of my own equipment - I can also use the tools your pet is most familiar with. I can assess your pet to determine what your pet may need for stimulation, make suggestions for daily care, and learn at least some of their body language. My dogs and I are always interacting whenever I'm home, but most of our intentional fun/training happens for about 2-3 hours each day outdoors. This includes both training and walking. I also help some of my friends train their dogs whenever our schedules allow. I believe your dog should ALWAYS be in training and you can make almost any situation a training opportunity. Your pets can be treated as my own and/or according to your specific instructions. Do you have multiple dogs that need to be separated? No problem. Can your dogs be together but need to be supervised so tension doesn't continue to build? I got you covered there too! Does your dog pull too much on walks, need to learn how to act in-doors? I can work with your dog on those things as well in addition to other things!

“Corinne took care of my precious boy. She took him for walks and gave him a bunch of attention. Bodie was sad to see her leave. Will definitely use her again.”

About: Animals have a special place in my heart. Got my first dog at 12 and the love grew from there. I've worked at rescue centers as well as horse farms. Any animal and I'm in love. Our furry friends take care of us and deserve the same treatment right back! Happy to answer any questions! I'm currently a college student who also works on campus. No matter the workload or other school activities, I always have time to help out a furry friend! For work I work at a doggy day care/boarding services for all animals! I don't have any animals in my apartment, so it would be one-on-one care. Your furry baby will have all the attention it needs! For other services, I am more than happy to meet in person or virtually. Your pet is your baby, and whatever you need to feel secure, I will provide!

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, starting with the many pets I grew up with. Over the years, I’ve gained experience house sitting and pet sitting for families and friends, ensuring their pets were happy and well cared for. While I still currently house sit for those with pets, I also work on a farm, where I handle a wide range of animals daily, further strengthening my skills and dedication to animal care! I’m a college student with a part-time job, and I excel at multitasking. Spending time with animals is not only enjoyable for me but also a great way to unwind. I’m available for regular walks, house sitting, and multiple daily check-ins, as well as overnight stays. With my short work shifts and a flexible class schedule, I can easily accommodate your pet care needs. Pets' safety is always my top priority when pet sitting. Ensuring a pet’s safety in their own home requires attentiveness and preparation. I carefully follow owner’s instructions, supervise the pet closely, and make sure the environment is free of hazards. I keep emergency contacts on hand, monitor the pet for signs of stress, and am prepared to act quickly if needed. I've also worked with many anxious pets in the past so I understand that they may need a little more care and closeness. With a focus on security and comfort, I provide consistent care while keeping owners updated for peace of mind.

About: I’ve loved dogs for 12 years, including my own senior pup. Every dog in my care is treated like family—with patience, love, and plenty of snuggles. I work full time but a very lenient schedule allowing me to care for your pups early morning before 7am and anytime after 6pm. I’m also readily available on weekends. I have a 10 acre lot with a large section fenced in for safe yard play. Also, love long walks around our big yard. A large house with plenty of space for the zoomies.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life and will treat your dogs as if they were my own, with love and affection and a sense to have all the fun! I can bring toys and if you request my own pup to play she loves new friends I've walked dogs for friends, family and to those who requested it via my sitting and walking ads. Any special needs you may have for your pet can be easily met such as dietary, grooming requests or special medication. I can ensure you your dog will be well taken care of and in the best possible hands! I work remotely so I can mend my schedule to help take care of your furry friend. Just let me know what you need and we can work something out! I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for sunbathing or watching the birds go by. My neighborhood is nice and safe for use to take regular walks throughout the day!

About: I've had dogs since I can remember. My fiancé watched dogs in the past with rover and I would always help. Take the dogs to the park on my days off, play outside, and train them when needed. I am currently on veterans disability so I can focus my whole day to your furry friend. No worry about being stuck in all day. I have 5 acres of yard for them to play on. I have lots of space if needed, room for crates, room outside. Plenty of space so your furry friend won't feel trapped. My animals mind their own.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. We currently have 2 large dogs. I can administer medication. I have a very flexible schedule. My schedule is very flexible since I have a 2.5yr old daughter. My husband is also home about 50% of the month which makes my schedule even more flexible. I have taken care of all different sizes and breeds of dogs and cats since I was a kid. Both of my dogs are rescues who needed some extra love to acclimate when they came home.

About: I'm person that does the work and listen to the animals too. I worked with military working dogs. Have raised my own, I even sucker for the abandon ones too. My life has been learning how to groom, including nails, medicines and how to feed certain dogs due to there digestive track. I can mend, cuddle and play with all type.but snakes sorry I can't do that. My soon to be husband also loves animals such as I do because they also help with mental health. Emotional support and therapy dogs are a real thing and they do help. Just like the little young lady that found last months wonder the roads of Amelia County covered fleas and ticks and no tags or nothing she now how's her forever home . Just ever day thing for more I come home ever 2 to 3 hours to let mine out. DUE to the current job I currently have once this jobs takes off my plan is.to do this full time for all animals. We have fenced in back yard with 3 acrea with it in the middle of the Amelia that has been forgotten about. I retired military and retired law enforcement looking to find something better that what I currently doing. Animals and kids make me happy and they would have a forever ever home with me. Plus my family loves animals too. If the our place did work out the have 100 to play on for the day too. My husband is sucker for all types of animals too.
