“Lauren was great with our pups! We have three big dogs and she sent updates on each one when she let them and fed them! It made it easier on me being gone knowing they were well taken care of. We came home to three happy dogs!! Will definitely be using Lauren again in the future.”
“Rebecca was a Godsend! She stayed with my crew while we were away for 9 days. She kept in constant contact and sent me picture and video updates. I could tell my dogs were well taken care of with their daily walks and playtimes and was able to relax while I was away. When we got back home the house was even cleaner than when we left, which was a pleasant surprise. She went above and beyond and I will plan my future vacations around her schedule!”

I am open to early morning/evening walks or visits, as well as some in-home stays. Mid-day during the week I will unfortunately not be available. I do not currently have pets of my own, nor can I keep any in my home, but I would be able to pet sit in the clients home, take for potty breaks and walks (or hikes if you have an active dog), and give food/attention as needed.
About: I grew up taking care of all kinds of animals including chickens, goats, cows, pigs, and of course cats and dogs. I’ve independently cared for animals since I can remember! I am a student at Virginia Tech with a pretty flexible schedule. I have time in between my classes to be able to let your animals outside or just spend time with them! Because I live in an apartment, I unfortunately cannot house animals with me in my home. However, I am happy to take them on walks and hang out with them at their home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12 years old. I grew up in a neighborhood so it wasn’t hard to find people who needed pet care. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me for overnight, boarding, walking and feeding. I am not currently working full time so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. It will switch to evenings and weekends once I start work again. Neighbors have always trusted me to be in their homes and with their pets. I have watched them for weeks at a time so this required being unsupervised with access to the property

Anthony C.
“Anthony is a wonderful animal lover and pet caretaker! He is genuinely interested in what is going on in an animal’s mind and world that makes them happy, anxious, upset, loving, etc. Anthony is happiest in your fur baby’s company and is conscientious and very responsible and reliable. His background and knowledge of animal behavior give him a boost when dealing with animals who may have separation issues, high stress, etc. He is indiscriminate about your fur baby’s being/apperance: big floof, chonky shorty, zoomie goof, pocket pet, or lovable puddin’. I trust my dogs, cats, and rabbits with him whenever I have to be out of town or working long days. I love Anthony’s enthusiasm for animals and genuine desire to care and protect our most vulnerable creatures.”
Cathrine J.
“Cathrine has watched several animals for me. They are always well taken care of and sad to see her go. I recommend all my family and friends to her.”
