About: I have had cats ever since I was little and have also worked in a cat rehoming and adoption center! I also love dogs and am comfortable walking them and tending to their needs. I’m a teacher on summer break so I will have plenty of time to play with your pets and give them all the attention and care they need! I am not able to board dogs where I currently live (due to my lease) but I can travel to you and give all the services needed! I am comfortable traveling to homes as well as boarding kitties.

“Pam was great. I appreciated the daily text and photo of my pup which eliminated any anxiety I had prior to and during our family vacation. Hope she will sit for us on our next trip away.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I grew up around German Shepherds, Dobermans, and a variety of cats, so caring for animals has been a lifelong passion. Today, I have three dogs of my own: an Italian Mastiff, a Husky, and a Hound Dog! Living with such different breeds has given me experience with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, and I’m happy to care for other types of pets with the right instructions to ensure they receive the proper attention and care they deserve. I offer dog walking and in-home pet check-ins, so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings while you’re away. I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and detail-oriented. I take the time to follow instructions carefully, pay attention to the little things, and make sure each pet’s individual needs are met. Whether your pet needs a walk, some company, fresh food and water, or a little extra attention, I’m happy to help! Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them with the same patience, care, and respect I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! ❤️🐶🐱 I am currently available during the week and on weekends depending on how far in advance you book. I can tend to your pets morning and night. I will care for your pet in the comfort of your own home. This way they can be comfortable and cozy in their own home.

“Christin has been great with our new addition Penny. When Penny met Christin, it was an instant connection. You can definitely see her love for animals. She arrives on time and is very reliable. Penny looks forward to her visits twice a week where they go play in the backyard. In addition to Penny, our 4 cats enjoy her stopping by as well, especially Axle.”

About: I grew up around animals big and small, from horses and llamas, to cats and dogs, to hampsters and reptiles, I love them all, except spiders, please no spiders! I am an avid outdoors person, I love going for runs and hikes. I'd be more than happy to take your dog with me! Its great exercise and helps to poop them out! I do own my own German Shepherd, she is one and full of love. She loves making new friends, so if your dog wants to make friends too I'd love to get them playing! Otherwise I like to keep as close to your pets schedule and routine as possible. I am more than happy to stay at the house or do drop ins, whichever works best for you! I currently work full-time in Centreville, VA, with 4 longer workdays typically a combination Monday-Friday 7am-6pm, plus commute time. If your pet cannot comfortably go ~10 hours without a bathroom break on these days, please consider this when booking. However, on my days off, my schedule is much more flexible, and your pets will be my top priority. I ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care to keep them happy and comfortable. I provide attentive and compassionate care for every pet entrusted to me. When outdoors, pets remain on a leash at all times unless otherwise agreed upon with the owner. Inside the home, I closely monitor their behavior, ensuring they are comfortable and safe. If I notice any unusual behavior, I promptly check in with the owner to keep them informed. Before each booking, I conduct a detailed discussion with pet parents to understand their pet’s typical behaviors, routines, and any special needs, ensuring personalized care tailored to their well-being.

“Hayleigh came out to meet our dogs before a house sitting booking and spent time becoming familiar with them and their routines. Hayleigh has a calming presence and I know our dogs will enjoy their time together.”

About: I have 3 years of professional experience working in the animal industry and currently work at a veterinary hospital, where I provide hands-on care to a variety of pets every day. My experience has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, safety, and the individual needs of different pets. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including pets who may require extra patience, medication, or specialized care. Working in a veterinary environment has also taught me how to recognize changes in behavior or health and respond appropriately when a pet may not be feeling their best.

I understand that every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow detailed instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and other specific needs. You can feel confident knowing that your pets are in the care of someone with professional animal-care experience who genuinely enjoys helping animals and treating every pet as if they were my own. Depending on my schedule I work from 7am - 3pm or 8am - 5pm, before or after my regular job I am free to hang out with your fuzzy guy! I care for pets in my clients’ homes by keeping them comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow each pet’s individual care instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while their owners are away. With 3 years of experience in the animal industry and my current work at a veterinary hospital, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of personalities and needs. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, or other signs that something may be wrong, and I communicate with the owner promptly if I have any concerns.

About: Hello! I have always had dogs growing up and I always had to take care of them. You know, doggy walks, taking the dogs for a potty break and feeding them. That didnt stop and continued throughout college since I helped my wife to take care of her foster doggies! We will take turns between weeks. We had an incredible experience since these dogs were able to get adopted. We recently lost our dog, Tucker at 12 years old and we’re not ready for another dog yet, but have a great home with a great big fenced in backyard, plus close to baseball fields from an elementary school and a great neighborhood for walks.

“Vanasia did a wonderful job looking after my cats! She was prompt, reliable, and provided great updates throughout her visits, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She kept me informed about how the cats were doing and even notified me about a few accidents and took the time to clean them up. I really appreciated her attentiveness, communication, and willingness to go the extra mile. I would definitely recommend Vanasia to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”

“She was able to get Bingka last minute! She took care of her, played with her, took her out to potty and fed her. She also gave a lot of cute pics!”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I have cared for large dogs, such as Labs and Pit Bulls, as well as smaller breeds like Pomeranians, Pugs, and mixed breeds. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets with special dietary needs or medications. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and am currently studying online, which allows me to work from almost anywhere. I love going on walks, especially after a meal, and having a furry companion makes them even better! My flexible lifestyle allows me to make time for your pet’s needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I love being able to incorporate pet care into my day while making sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for. I provide pet care in the comfort of your own home, whether through drop-in visits, dog walking, or other care your pet may need. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My family has always taught me to leave a place better than I found it, and I carry that value with me in everything I do. I will treat your home and belongings with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. I also understand that I’m not just caring for a pet; I’m caring for a beloved member of your family. I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, attentive hands and is being looked after in the familiar environment you’ve trusted me with.
