“Bethany was amazing with Dax! I wasn’t worried a bit while I was on my trip!! He had the best time playing with her and her pups! Highly recommend will 100% be rebooking in the future when I need someone to watch my dog!”


“Chris and his wife were able to board our 90+ lb lab at short notice!! Drop off and pick up was smooth and convenient! Thanks for hosting our fur baby and hope you’ll have him again!”


“Had to find an overnight stay for my aussie Koda somewhat last minute and I’m very happy we ended up with Jessie! I rarely spend a night away from Koda so it’s always hard for me to leave him in someone else’s care, but Jessie was great. She sent lots of cute photos of him playing with her friendly pups, was very responsive, addressed my specific requests (Koda has food allergies, etc), and Koda came home tired and happy! Would definitely book her again in the future.”

“We had a last minute thing come up and Deann was ready and willing to take in our cats on such short notice. She took care of them as if they were her own and was amazing to work with! From updates and photos from drop off to pick up. You couldn’t ask for anyone better to care for your kitties! 12/10, will book again!”


About: I am a big believer that humans need dogs as much as dogs need humans and I would love to be that human for your dog! I am currently a student at Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine earning a Masters degree in Biomedical science. I have classes during the week from 8-12, but spend every minute after class home in my apartment with the exception of an hour break to go to the gym. On the weekends i am often studying, so I will be home at all times. I have a small one bedroom apartment that has plenty of room for a dog to have free range. I allow dogs on the furniture and bed so that is no issue. There is plenty of room for a crate, which i would prefer if I am leaving the dog alone while I am at class. There is an excellent 2 mile walking trail around my complex that I do daily and would love to take your dog as my companion!

“Madison ALWAYS takes such great care of Lexi! This was our first overnight and we/Lexi couldn't be happier with all the attention she received from Madison and her family while visiting. We look forward to booking Lexi's next visit soon!”


“Amy takes excellent care of my one year old dog Nellie while she is boarding in her home. She has a huge fenced back yard allowing for plenty of active playtime between my pup and her fun and friendly dog Sadie. Amy is very knowledgeable about dog care, behavior, and needs and I feel completely confident Nellie is in great hands during her stay!”


“My fur babies love staying with Kirsten! They are always excited to walk in her house and start playing with Kirsten's other pups. I never worry when my dogs are with Kirsten, she's great!! They come home obviously well cared for and "centered".”


About: I used to help rescue and take care of new born kittens and puppy’s and I’m always sure to treat ever animal with respect and care. Before moving to Blacksburg I lived with my dad. We had a total of 11 cats and 4 dogs. (Ik it’s a lot :p) I love animals. I’ve had animals my entire life. I also have been around farm animals and have took care of chicken, ducks, horses, and goats. I am current a college student but when I’m not in class I will have free time to help anytime that’s needed. I look forward meeting new people and furry friends :) I care for animals with respect and love. I know that all animals have different personalities and different lifestyles. so I do what i can to help provide any kind of support and love the animal needs.

About: Hello! My name is Miru, and dogs bring me joy! With over 7 years of experience, I offer a range of services including dog walking, house sitting, drop-in visits, and bathing (exclusive to house sitting). I believe in providing the utmost care and attention to dogs…their well-being is my priority! I’m comfortable with medicating pets, whether it's administering oral medications or managing injections. I understand the importance of proper medication routines and will ensure that your furry friend receives their treatments as needed. Playing with dogs is something I thoroughly enjoy, and I understand the significance of engaging them in stimulating activities. I have experience handling dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. Whether your dog needs gentle playtime or an energetic romp, I will adapt to their needs and provide a safe and enjoyable experience. When it comes to dog walking, I take it seriously. I will properly walk dogs for the full amount of time allotted because I understand that it not only provides physical exercise but also helps to acclimate well to their environment. Personally, I love being outside, and it brings me great joy to share that experience with your pets. If you have an active dog who craves more exercise, I am more than happy to accommodate their needs. I am an active individual and enjoy participating in physical activities so whether you request that I play fetch with your pet, go for a run with them, or engage in any other activity, I will ensure your dog receives the exercise they require. I have described as reliable, energetic, professional, compassionate and trustworthy by my clients. You can count on me to be there when scheduled and provide consistent and trustworthy care for your beloved pet. I have a deep affection for animals, and I have even worked on a farm where I assisted in handling chickens and pigs. This experience has given me valuable insights into animal handling techniques. In terms of my personal dog experience, I have helped to raise a 110-pound Great Pyrenees in the past. Currently, I have an 11-year-old Maltese and an 18-year-old Shih Tzu, both of whom have taught me patience and compassion. Their well-being and happiness are always my top priorities. I am more than willing to address any questions or concerns you may have about my caretaking abilities and how I can meet your specific needs. Your dog's care and happiness are my primary focus, and I look forward to providing them with the love and attention they deserve. I am currently a student and research assistant at Virginia Tech, working remotely for the summer with great flexibility. This allows me to accommodate the needs of your pet effectively. I start my day early and typically finish around 8 PM, giving me ample time to devote to pet care throughout the day. If I am housesitting for you, I have the flexibility to provide frequent walks or bathroom breaks for your dog. They receive the appropriate level of physical activity based on their individual needs, whether it's a leisurely stroll or a longer walk. I prioritize your dog's well-being and understand the importance of regular bathroom breaks. If your dog is unable to walk more than once or twice a day, I will make sure to take them outside to relieve themselves as needed. I will never leave a dog home alone for more than four hours, and if you have a puppy, I will ensure they are not left alone for more than 2.5 hours at a time. If I need to step out for personal reasons, such as going to the gym or working at a café, I will always let you know in advance and make sure your dog's needs are taken care of. I will always provide updates and let you know if I need to step out for any reason. You can trust that I will be transparent about my schedule and ensure that your dog's well-being remains a top priority. My flexibility as a remote worker allows me to provide attentive care for your dog throughout the day. Whether it's adhering to their feeding schedule, administering medications if needed, or providing ample exercise and companionship, I will go above and beyond to ensure your dog's needs are met. If you have any specific scheduling requests or concerns, please feel free to discuss them with me. Your dog's happiness, comfort, and well-being are my utmost priorities, and I am dedicated to providing exceptional care that fits seamlessly into my daily or weekly routine! Safety is of utmost importance to me. I understand that each pet has unique needs and preferences. If necessary, I am experienced in crate training and can provide a secure and comfortable space for your dog if you prefer them to be crated while I am caring for them. I am diligent in following any specific safety instructions or guidelines you provide to ensure your pet's safety at all times. Trust is the foundation of a successful pet caretaker-client relationship. I recognize the trust you place in me by allowing me access to your home and entrusting me with the care of your furry family member. I take this responsibility seriously and will always respect your home, privacy, and belongings. You can trust that I will provide the highest level of care and attention to your pet, just as if they were my own. Creating a comfortable environment for your pet is crucial for their well-being. I understand that some pets have specific preferences or routines, and I am committed to maintaining those while you're away. If you request that your dog be kept off furniture, I will ensure they adhere to that rule. I will follow any specific instructions you provide regarding feeding, playtime, or any other routines your pet requires. By maintaining a familiar and comfortable environment, I aim to reduce any stress or anxiety your pet may experience in your absence. In addition to safety, trust, and comfort, I also pay close attention to the overall environment in your home. I am mindful of maintaining cleanliness and hygiene standards during my stay. I will clean up after your pet, dispose of waste properly, and keep their living area tidy. I believe that a clean and organized space contributes to your pet's well-being and helps create a positive atmosphere for them. Your pet's happiness and contentment are my top priorities. By focusing on safety, building trust, and creating a comfortable environment, I strive to provide the best possible care for your furry friend. You can rest assured that I will go above and beyond to ensure their well-being while you are away. If you have any specific requests or concerns regarding safety, trust, or creating a comfortable environment for your pet, please feel free to discuss them with me. I am here to address any questions or provide additional information to make you feel confident in my abilities as your pet caretaker.

About: With over four years of experience walking a dog named Henry three days a week throughout high school, I’m dedicated to providing dependable care. I’ve also had my own dog, Coco, for 13 years and completed a training class when she was a puppy. For the past four summers, I’ve offered overnight dog and cat sitting for multiple weeks at a time. I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving environment for every pet I meet! As a current college student, I understand the importance of a balanced schedule. I plan my pet care routine around my classes and work, ensuring that I’m fully available during our scheduled time together. My flexible daily schedule allows me to adapt to last-minute needs or changes, so you can trust that your pet will always receive the attention they deserve. Whether it’s a midday walk, evening cuddles, or weekend adventures, I’ll make sure to prioritize your pet’s happiness and well-being. I have experience creating, walking, playing, and loving pets. I always lead with my hand out and I will typically sit on the floor (to show that I am not a threat) when I am alone with this pet and let them get comfortable with me. I also will give the dog space when I can tell it wants it and shower then with cuddles and love when it appears wanting! I also LOVE taking and sharing fun photos of our adventures together and cute moments to keep you updated when I see then or throughout the day!

“Olivia was great with my 1 1/2 year old dog! She sent great pictures and updates and provided some great exercise for him! She was great at providing my dog’s regular routine and did amazing getting his puppy energy out!”


About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. Currently I have three large rescue dogs that live at my family home ( not here with me in Blacksburg). So i’m no stranger to crazy and energetic dogs and I’m also comfortable with dogs of all sizes. Currently I’m a college student on summer break so I have lots of time in my schedule and am very flexible when it comes to taking care of your pet! I live in a single bedroom apartment by myself so probably only small to medium dogs would feel comfortable here. Otherwise it would probably be better if I go to your home:)

Miru Y.

“Miru is an excellent dog sitter and I have complete faith in her ability to provide loving, responsible care to dogs of all sizes. Neither of my dogs are always easy to deal with (I have a typically high-strung herding breed and an extremely timid rescue pit mix) but she always treats them with the utmost patience, love, and kindness. She is reliably enthusiastic to spend time with the dogs, and is happy to see to their mental and physical needs. ”
