Pet Sitting Old Diminion

About: I have been pet sitting and walking for 11 years. My neighbors and friends have trusted me to care for, walk, and feed their pets! I am a graduate student at Virginia Tech's Arlington campus. This summer I will be working remotely with plenty of time to care for your pet! Unfortunately I cannot care for your pets in my own home because our landlord does not allow pets however I am happy to care for them in your home!

“Taylor was wonderful and very communicative during her visits! She went slow with our timid cat and was very thoughtful with her time with her. I appreciated her care and attention!”

“Aly is great! She dropped in to care for my cat for several days during the holidays. She took great care of her during that time, following all the instructions we discussed, and providing thoughtful details and wonderful pictures of the visits. Definitely recommended.”

“Sweet, dependable and best of all loves dogs!”

“Jennifer was an excellent cat sitter for Melvin. She sent several pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Melvin seemed super comfortable and well cared for the entire time, and it was clear she was great with him. Communication was smooth, she was reliable, and I had no complaints at all. I would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our cat received from Fernanda! It was clear from the updates that she wasn’t just stopping by to check in—she genuinely spent quality time with her. Fernanda played with her, brushed her, and gave her plenty of attention, which made such a difference while we were away. Our cat looked relaxed, happy, and completely at ease, and that gave us so much peace of mind. It’s obvious Fernanda truly cares about the pets she looks after, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, dependable, and caring pet sitter.”

About: I have taken classes in dog behaviors and how they act when they might need a particular action done. I have a NAPPS certification, which is National Association of Professional Pet Sitters that is earned for all small animals, both including dogs and cats. I have had my own very young puppy, so I know how to handle and train them in a gentle manner that they will respond to. I have tons of experience in senior dogs and cats, so I am patient to more slow animals or paying attention to them more and making sure they have what they need. I have an extremely open schedule and can stay over for longer periods of time than most people. I am free almost every single day for hours on end, so finding when I can come over is no trouble. I’m easy to schedule if I need to house sit, and am extremely responsible and willing to stay overnight when needed. I love taking care of animals in their own homes, knowing they’ll feel the most comfortable surrounded by their familiar surroundings. The only thing I care about is that your furry companions are safe and cared for in a way that they don’t feel out of place or missing the love they got before you left them in my care.

“Brittany is awesome! She is reliable and friendly. She leaves good feedback and info about her time with Winnie. She sends lots of pictures, too.”

“Spencer and Julia kept me posted throughout the weekend, provided several pictures, and spent a lot of quality time with my cat. Really appreciate their help and communication, and would recommend them to others.”

“Dominique helped me a lot by caring for my dog while I was away. He was punctual and always provided updates. Will definitely be my go to dog sitter!”

About: Note: Be sure to check my calendar for availability before booking. Thanks! I adopted my Puerto Rican rescue named Leo in 2019 and he has completely changed my life. He can be reactive on walks and is a super anxious boy in general so I have experience managing nervous dogs. Leo has taught me to see every dog as a cherished family member and loyal companion. When I meet a dog, I want to make them feel as loved and special as they make us feel everyday. My goal is to spend as much time as possible with dogs and I would love to meet yours! I know how exhausting it can be to work and meet your pets needs, and I would love to give you some peace of mind knowing they’ve gotten attention, love, and exercise while you’re busy. I am a student home for the summer and am free until September, but am taking a couple of weekends away so make sure to check my calendar. I am open to spending time with your dog in your home during the day and stay overnight for up to a week. I can do mealtimes and take walks/backyard playtime. And of course, will include endless cuddles.

“I have had Aimee watch my cat Harley multiple times. She goes above and beyond to take care of Harley and I appreciate all of the photos and updates she sends. Will continue to use her in the future!”

Elle S.

“Aislyn was wonderful with our puppy Scout. She was super responsive, on-time, and provided great pictures and write-ups of our visit. That was especially important to us as Scout is our first puppy and we were nervous about leaving her home alone for the first time. Scout always looked so happy in the pictures and when we came home from work!”

Josh A.

“Kaitlyn took wonderful care of our two cats over the holiday week. We received multiple pictures every day and constant status updates on our little gremlins nefarious activities (there’s always at least one). Thank you Kaitlyn!”

Mckenzie C.

“This is the third time we have booked Amber for drop-in visits. She is an excellent pet sitter. Our dog is nervous around strangers. Amber has made him feel at ease and he looks forward to seeing her. She communicates frequently and always sends photos. We very much appreciate Amber and will definitely book her again.”

Michael B.

“Drew was great with my “quirky” dogs while I was out of town. She took great care of them. She was on time, provided photos, kept me informed, etc. I would definitely use Drew again in the future.”

Patti K.

“We needed someone on short notice and Alexandria responded immediately. She was friendly, easy to communicate with, and made the process stress-free. She was great with our 8-month-old rescue, Poppy, who’s still adjusting and can be reactive on leash. Alexandria was patient and understanding, handling Poppy thoughtfully. We loved the photos and report card after each visit and would definitely book Alexandria again—Poppy would be happy to see her too!”

Emily P.

“Sophie is fantastic. This is the second time Sophie has taken care of our dog. When we mention her name, our doggie gets really excited and runs to the door hoping she is there.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 11 years now. I’ve owned 3 dogs and have loved every moment with them. Additionally, I did pet sit one of my friend’s dogs for 3 days. Some stuff I would do with my pets include: Meal prepping homemade food so I could feed breakfast and dinner, giving baths, going on walks around my neighborhood, and lastly having fun with them with toys. UPDATE: IM BACK HOME AND AVAILABLE FULL TIME …….ignore this part : Im currently in College and also a student athlete playing soccer. I am available basically every day. I do have practices and classes so if I am available I will accept! Hopefully my schedule will fit into any of yours! I would love to take care of your pet at your home and make sure he is entertained and well fed. I could also take to any park if you need.
