“April was so nice and great with Duke. I tend to be very anxious about him but she made me feel so at ease and sent an adorable picture of Duke on his walk!!”

About: I am a fur mommy to an amazing little guy we call Charlie Brown! He is wonderful with adults and children alike! We would love to find him some new friends by watching your cute fur babies too! In my house, someone is always home, so your pet would never be alone! We love to go on long walks through the neighborhood and the local park. Our Charlie Brown loves car rides! My husband is great with animals and loves to play with them! We also have a 3 year old girl who is learning to play with our dogs as well and a full of life 6 year old boy who loves animals, so playtime is all the time here! There is never a dull moment, that's for sure! If you aren't comfortable with your pet coming to our house, that's ok too! I can come to you! I'm a trustworthy, respectful, playful dogsitter as well. Transportation is not an issue. I can stay over night or I can just check in from time to time with your little one. It's all up to you! Let me know what you need and we can figure it all out. I am looking forward to hearing from you and to getting to know all of those adorable fur babies!!!! "Ready to spoil, walk, pet and play! With our family, it's always a fun day!!!" I work for myself so my schedule is never an issue! Whatever may be needed, I will make happen. However, written instructions are always helpful! I don't have a fenced yard. However I do have a runner line that your pets can be hooked to outside so they can play as much as they want to without worry!!

About: I've had experience taking care of dogs since I was the age of 10 years old. I have done this for family and friends for many years and even assist with grooming needs. I also have experience with giving medications to pets as I have worked as a veterinary assistant in the past. I am currently working at an elementary school but going to school to allow me to have a work from home job. Until then I am more free in the afternoon and evening but I am able to free up some time in the morning to help out. During the summer I do summer camp, working the afternoon/evening shift; however, I am able to adjust my schedule as needed. I have a fenced in yard here at my house so my dogs have free range of the back yard, however when we did not have one we had them out at least every hour. Our dogs get feed twice a day, morning and night, but I can switch however to fit your pet best! During my free time my boyfriend and I like to take our dog, Rico, to go hiking and swimming. We would love to be able to bring him a friend!

About: I have years of experience of animal handling. I have worked as a zoo educator and have pet sat for years. I have a passion for animals and their well being. I’m available most days for visits and overnight stays. You can contact me through the app and I will get back you as soon as possible. I have stayed overnight for clients many times and can provide excellent references. Some light house keeping is typically included for overnights unless specified otherwise.

About: I've taken care of cats all my life and dogs from time to time. From back when I was a teen at home with our family cat to my own Tuxedo Kiwi I've been caring for cats all my life. I have a deep understanding of cat body language, respecting their boundaries, and providing the attention and care they need. I work from home as a software developer and am looking for something to break up my day between calls and project tasks. Being a remote worker means I don't get much excitement day to day. Let me change up my day to day by helping you out with your pets! I live in my own home with plenty of space for walks, trails nearby for exploring, and an open and clean home for time away from the sun.

“Sarah was awesome! Her knowledge from working in a shelter came in handy when one of my dogs was being difficult. She took great photos and left a wonderful description about their time together. Can’t wait to have Sarah come back to hang out with my boys.”

About: Hi there! I'm a young professional who's grown up surrounded by animals ever since I can remember. This lifelong love led me to officially launch my own pet care business in my hometown at 14, and I've continued providing these services as I've relocated to different cities. Now, with about a decade of professional experience and a work-from-home arrangement, I can offer your pets consistent care and attention throughout the day. I've cared for all sorts of pets – from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC. Whether it's following special diets, administering medications, or using that one trick that always calms an anxious rescue, I adapt to each pet's unique needs. My remote work situation allows me to be available for midday walks, regular check-ins, or just some extra cuddle time when needed. Communication is crucial to me, so you can expect consistent updates and photos of your pets if desired. By choosing me, you're securing a dependable, seasoned, and adaptable caregiver who'll treat your fuzzy family members with the devotion and care all animals deserve. Let's work together to keep your pets happy and healthy! As a work-from-home professional, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine.

Weekends are open for more extensive services like boarding/home stays. I'm committed to working with you to provide consistent, attentive care that fits your pet's routine and your schedule.

About: I've always had dog(s) in my household since I was a little boy. I've seen them all, hyper dogs, lazy dogs, mean dogs, social dogs, and dogs that think that they're human. In my experience in dealing with all of these personalities I've noticed one trait that is essential in dog-care, patience. Patience is something that I have no shortage of, I've seen it all. Trust me, I've seen the nitty, the gritty, and the nasty...nothing can scare me away. In terms of my tangible experience, I've logged an immense amount of hours volunteering at animal shelters and pet-sitting for various friends and family. I'm a huge advocate for exercise and fitness for pets so if you leave your dog with me, I guarantee that we will be going on runs and playing outside.

About: Hi, I’m Makenzie! I’m an ETSU graduate (May 2021), lifelong animal lover, and proud pet parent. My pets are my world, and I’d love the opportunity to give your furry (or feathered!) family members the same love and care I give my own. Growing up, I regularly dog sat, cat sat, and house sat—it’s always been something I truly enjoy. These days, I visit the local animal shelter several times a week to spend time with the cats and dogs there. Animals have always been a light in my life, and caring for them brings me so much joy. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in the Roanoke/Bonsack area. I’m trustworthy, reliable, friendly, and hard-working, and I’m happy to provide references. I’ll always follow your care instructions, keep your pets safe and happy, and send you daily check-ins so you have peace of mind while you’re away. Availability: • Flexible schedule thanks to my work as a case manager • Mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day • Always available on weekends Your pets will be treated like family, every single time. 💛 I start every day caring for my own pets, and I treat each animal I meet as if they were my own. I’m fortunate to have a flexible job, which allows me to fit pet care seamlessly into my mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. I never leave an animal unattended outdoors and always make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and happy.

About: Hello! I am a responsible, dependable, young working professional but a lady of many trades! One of those side gigs includes pet sitting furbabies! I am very outdoorsy and enjoyed hiking and trail running with my dogs (my Jack Russell Terriers recently passed away). :( In my undergrad days I worked for a professional petsitter company and have checked on a variety of critters over the years. I have cared for pets in a variety of settings; including overnight visits, transports, daily walks or just hanging out for play time. I would be happy to take your fur baby out for a hike or a game of fetch! I've cared for everything from puppies, horses, farm animals, wheel chair doggies, old kitties and everything in between! As a child I had a desire to be a vet and much prefer spending time with animals (small and large) over humans! When I am not out in the forest adventuring you can usually find me hanging with cute fur babies and talking to them like they are humans. :) I am also human wilderness first aid and CPR trained. I try to work with people on scheduling as best I can! I have a fairly flexible schedule but need a heads up to accommodate usually. I am a early riser and let my dog out super early so welcome early a.m. visits as your place or mine. Can also accommodate hectic travel schedules, I.e met at airport late flight arrivals, change of plans. I have a unfenced yard but plenty of property for daily walks. Property sits against fenced in horses on 1 side. I am routinely around during the day.

“Mandy will go above and beyond for your doggos! We had to leave our dogs for the first time and she came and walked them, made sure they had food and water and was even willing to clean up some. She has really put our minds at ease while being out of town and will definitely use her services in the future ?”

About: Hi, I’m Rosemary! I love animals and have always grown up with birds, hamsters, cats, and dogs! I currently have one dog named Winston who is a sweet Maltese who loves other dogs. I’m very caring and attentive to animals and love making them as comfortable as possible. I grew up with a lot of pets and have always had a great love for them. I am flexible, especially on the weekends! I’m excited to be able to care for other’s pets and make them assured they are fine while their owners are away. I am definitely happy to care for cats as well as any other type of animal - no discrimination! Please let me know how I can help you and get started! I’m looking forward to caring for your furry friend. My schedule is pretty flexible and doesn't change much with another animal since I have my own dog who has his schedule down pretty well. I treat the animals as my own, they are allowed free range of my apartment if the owner wants. My dog is not crated during the day and likes to have a buddy to pal around with and play.

About: Hi! My name is Lisa and I've grown up with dogs my whole life. My parents owned a farm so I've always been used to animals and couldn't imagine my life without them!

I'm reliable and animals have my heart so i give them the best possible care :) I am home full time and I have a big yard where the dogs can run and play as well as a big basement where we can relax. I will send pictures and videos throughout their stay! Can't wait to meet and care for some of your loved pets!! I am home full time, so your pet will be outside having a blast with my pups! We go on walks daily as well as throw toys in the yard. I have 2 pups that will play with your dogs, many toys and lots of yard space to play! My 1 year old is used to our big dogs so he does his own thing and watches them run!

About: Life long animal lover and pet parent, who recognizes that our furry friends are our family and deserve the best care and consideration! I've taken care of animals since I was kiddo, and currently share a roof with three cats and one pup. Friends, family, former employers, and my very own animals trust me to watch, walk, feed, water, groom (brushing, bathing, trimming nails) and lavish their cats and dogs with attention. My availability varies, as I work in the Events field, but I am ready and interested to take on regular weekday workday (9-5) walking duties with your pups! As a guest in your home, I will show your space and family the utmost respect. Being invited into your family's space is a privilege.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a child. Animals are the purest form of love and they deserve to receive the same. Friends and family have relied on me to feed, bathe, and walk their pets (and of course LOVE). I’m currently in school online which doesn’t require a lot of my time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your wonderful babies! I walk my dogs daily, feed and bathe them well! I also make sure to give them all the snuggles and kisses they deserve. I will make sure your pet is cared for like they are my own.

About: My family has always had animals and we couldn’t live without them. I’ve always been the biggest animal lover 🖤🐾 no matter the size or breed, I’ll treat them like I would my own! My current schedule is flexible. I am always wanting to help others and I’ve been successful with making plans that work best for me and my clients needs. I prioritize my own health so daily walking and playing with your fur babies will be enjoyable for the both of us! 🥰 I am a nurse first but if I didn’t take care of humans for a living, I’d take care of pets without a doubt. I am patient, honest, gentle, and trustworthy. I’ve never met an animal who didn’t gravitate towards me. You can rely on me to get the job done.
