About: Whether you have a chaotic 4-month-old golden retriever or a 14-year-old tabby who just wants to nap in a sunbeam, I adapt my energy to meet them exactly where they are. I know how nerve-wracking it is to leave your pets. You’ll receive detailed updates and high-quality photos after every visit so you can see exactly how much fun they’re having. Since I am currently building my dedicated client base, your pet will never be "just another stop" on a long list. They get my undivided attention, energy, and affection. I currently work from home part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available weekdays as well as weekends. We have a fenced area in our yard, and a safe neighborhood for walks. Additionally, we have a dog and two cats to keep your pet company.

I regularly take multiple dogs on hikes for at least 1 hour and am used to watching large groups of dogs at a time I’m currently working full time, 5 days a week. I am free all day Tuesday, and Sunday. But I’m also free after 4pm any other day . I can pet sit overnight any day and do drop in visits in the morning, evening, and at night.

About: Hello, My name is Stephanie. Ever since I can remember I have been surrounded by animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, ferrets, horse, etc. When I turned 21, my sister and I bought a 67 acre farm in PA which we still own. I have since moved to VA with my husband and 3 kids along with our Furbabies. Yes, I had to upgrade to a mini van just to fit everyone but I wouldn't want it any other way. I would treat your babies as if they were my own. I would make sure they recieve tons of love while you are gone with updated pictures if requested. Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you! Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my day it is my day. 🐾 Pet sitting is my full-time job, so my daily and weekly routine revolves around making sure every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well exercised. I provide care in both my home and my clients’ homes, depending on the service selected and what keeps each pet most comfortable. Every pet is different, so I tailor care to their energy level, personality, and any special instructions. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe and happy.

“Heather did a fantastic job with our fur babies!! Sadly, our app had the wrong date, but Heather totally rescued the day and made sure to be there for our dogs. She's not only reliable, but very kind to our puppies and thoughtful. We were glad to come home to two happy pups and look forward to working with her again!”
About: I had 3 dogs growing up. I want to have a feeling of connection again to pets that is not just in passing. I care about dogs more than most things. Having the ability to walk, stay, and play with dogs again would be amazing. I am currently unemployed and waiting to hear back from several full-time employers. In the mean time, helping others when they are out of town with their pets would be a great time. You do not have to kennel your dog and know they are in safe care. And it gives me a chance to get out of my house. I am very good with the written instructions provided, if not, I will go with how the dog feels. It is their home and I will simply be a guest. I will make sure they are in the most loving environment that is clean and always there for them.

You’ll also receive regular photo updates and check-ins so you can stay connected every step of the way. I will be there for your pet (dog, cat, other..). I will follow your requests to ensure they are comfortable and safe while you are away. Every animal in my care is welcomed with love and kindness. I follow any specific instructions or special needs provided by their owner to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and right at home.
About: Hello! I'm a senior at Virginia Tech majoring in animal science. I’m taking classes over the summer so rather than working at another vet clinic, I decided to petsit so I have more time to study. I have been working on and off at vet clinics during school breaks for 4 years and I can't wait to meet you and your precious children (pets)! I will be available almost any time, given that most of my classes are virtual right now. Thankfully that means I have more time to hang with your pups! I live with a cat, and I try to limit her interactions with new pets as this tends to stress her out, so my availability is mostly directed at coming to your house to take care of your dogs and cats or take your animals on walks.
About: I have taken care of my family, friends and neighbor's animals since I was in middle school. I have taken care of dogs, cats, bearded dragons, fish and birds. I am currently in college and can take care of your pet during my breaks (Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer), as well as, on the weekends. I will follow the instructions you provide for care of your pet very closely and will observe and care for your pet to insure his/her wellbeing.
About: Hi! I’ve been a pet owner my entire life and caring for animals is truly second nature to me. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I also have medical care experience, so I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring pets closely, and giving extra attention to senior pets or those with special needs. In addition to pet sitting, I’ve spent time fostering and helping with rescue animals, which means I’m patient with shy, anxious, or newly adopted pets and understand how important routine and trust are. When your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, you can expect: • Lots of love, playtime, and attention • Regular photo and update messages 📸 • Care that follows your pet’s normal routine • A calm, safe, and reliable environment My goal is simple: make your pet feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I’ve been a pet owner my entire life. My days are structured around feeding times, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and companionship. I make it a priority to maintain each pet’s normal routine, whether that means scheduled walks, medication times, or quiet cuddle time. Because I have experience with foster and rescue animals, I’m also used to adjusting my schedule to meet different needs, from energetic pets who love activity to shy pets who need a calmer approach. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my week, and I always make sure pets in my care receive consistent attention, exercise, and regular updates to their owners so they know their pets are safe and happy. I have a larger, fenced yard for playtime a friendly pup who is always looking for a playmate as well as an old lady who loves nap buddies. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is ideal for walks because it is less traveled.
About: I have taken care of dogs before and I’m currently a owner my self, I will love to take care of other dogs my self. I am currently working doing delivery on Instacart, and I have plenty of time to take care of dogs and walk them and take them to the dog park. I have a very good boy, and there’s a big dog park that can take your baby to have the best time ever, and if it is needed I can crate ur baby

Once again Ashlyn was incredible to work with. Prompt, super friendly, supportive, and my dog Gingerbread adored her. I just had a knee surgery two weeks ago, and she was completely happy to help me with a task or two that I just can't do right now. Highly highly recommend!!!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Olive. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
