Dog Walking Penn Laird

“Diane was so wonderful with my doggos! I was so nervous since it was my first time leaving them with a sitter but she made me feel so at ease. The pictures I got were of them smiling and having a blast ❤️ I’m sure they’re ready for their next walk with her.”

About: Hi! My name is Annalise, and I have been pet sitting since high school, for about six years now. Ever since then, it feels like I’ve found my passion. I’m an international affairs major at JMU, and a proud cat mom (the tabby)! Adopting my baby boy Alex soon (the first dog), who I’m training from the ground up. He’s a nervous boy but worth it! I’m willing to put in the work, and I can’t think of a better reward than the love of an animal. If you give me the honor to look after your babies, I promise I’ll care for them fiercely. I do this because I love it, and it makes me happy; please reach out to me if you need a hand, I’d be more than happy to give it!! I have a part time job and am a full time student, but I am more than willing to work around your pets schedule. Your pet’s care is my priority, and I wouldn’t accept a job if I didn’t believe I could give them 110% of my attention and affection. I would take your pets on walks, cuddle them, and overall ensure they’re being cared for to the best of my ability. I would also get to know them well so I could easily assess if any behaviors are out of the ordinary.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats and chickens since I was 16. Back at home I dog, cat, and house sat for neighbors and friends. I have always been given great feedback and I love animals! I'm currently an undergraduate student at JMU! I have an extremely flexible schedule and will easily be able to take care of your pets! I am free 7 days a week although there are certain times that I do have class which we can discuss! I have 1 dog and 1 indoor cat at home! I live on a farm so we have a lot of land for my dog to run around! I am able to accommodate to pretty much anything and I love pets so they will be cared for with love!

About: I’m a freshman in college and have been loving spending time with pets! I have taken care of dogs and cats for over six years now, and honestly, I just love it. I am a great communicator and will make sure you know how your pets are doing while you’re away. I always aim to make sure you feel at peace being away from your fur babies knowing that I will love on them just as much while they are gone. I have experience with both cats and dogs, and various ages so i happy to administer any medication if needed. I love taking dogs for walks, or just sitting at home and playing with or petting them. I also love cats, and while I don’t currently have one of mine own, I so enjoy getting cat and dog sit! I enjoy getting exercise, so dog walking is always fun for me. Pets just make me happy, so getting to pet sit is always enjoyable and brightens my day. I want my employers to know that their pets will be safe and happy while they are away as I take care of them. And if there are any needs while they are gone, they will be able to reach me. with any special requests, like taking medication or anything like that, I am very good at following specific instruction. I am always available. If you need to reach me, you can always call or text me. I am able to just spend time with your pet if that is what you need, or take them on lots of walks! Whatever is needed I am pretty much able to provide.

“Yanyna has been an excellent dog walker so far! Always communicative and responsive. Always gives a nice long walk :) would definitely recommend. Thank you!!”

About: Neighbors and friends/family have trusted me with their fur-family members and I have cared for a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have also aided my own doggo through a seizure and helped transport him to the ER. I am currently a full time college student, however, I have many breaks and a flexible schedule that would be perfectly occupied by caring for your furry friend! I will always follow provided directions carefully and closely in regards to your fur-family member and will contact you beforehand if I have any questions/concerns. All in all, I treat every animal I come across as my very own because I know that’s how I would want my own doggo to be treated <3

About: Since I was little I always have had a love for dogs. I used to walk to my neighbors house and ask to walk their dog, because I of how bad I wanted one. Once I got my dog, I feel in love right way. I love and know how to care for dogs of all sizes, and needs! I'm free all days of the week! Right now I am taking a NOVA summer class to get ahead, so I will need to allocate some time to that. But my class will end after the first week of July. I have a fenced backyard, so I let my dog go out when he wants while also watching him. Also my dog is very calm, and doesn't run off. So When he wants to sit in the front yard, I let him off the leash but I stay outside to make sure nothing happens.
