Cat Sitting in Penneys Crossroad

About: I have many years of pet sitting, up to several pets at a time, including owning many of my own since I was a child. I am patient when meeting new pets, for I understand it may take time to warm up to new people (and other pets!) I’m friendly, and talk to most animals just like they’re humans (lol). I enjoy spending time playing around, going for runs, as well as providing companionship when around pets. We love snuggling in bed over here! I’m not easily intimidated by a shy pet, and will treat them with the same respect and patience as their owners. I have high expectations for my own, so I believe it is only normal and natural to give the same in return for others’ pets so their families are comfortable with who they leave their furry friends with when away. My boy is the friendliest dog ever! He absolutely loves meeting other dogs (and the owners to receive even more affection 🤣). He’s got a lot of energy, which can overwhelm others the first day (he just wants to play!) He is very gentle with small dogs. When meeting others’ on the first day, If they are uncomfortable with his energy level and show they need time to warm up, he immediately backs off and resorts to my side until they are ready. He is very submissive in this sense which is great for no escalation and providing other dogs with the time they need to adjust to a new setting/new friends. I work a full time day job Monday-Friday 8-4, so please be sure prior to requesting services, your pets are able to accept this schedule. I am unfortunately unable to stop in midday as my lunch break does not allow for me to make it very far under 30 minutes. My pets along with the others’ I have boarded have had no issues with a routine working schedule, but every pet has different needs. ❤️ I care for others’ pets like they are my own! It is my duty as a trusted sitter to care for others’ pets in a way they need. I predominantly care for pets in others homes as I have several pets of my own. I do not have any issue with camera systems being in shared spaces to assure families feel safe having someone in their home with their pets.

“My dogs love Kendra, they will miss her. I’m moving out of the area. So I have to find a new sitter. I recommend Kendra she is wonderful with animals..”

“Jessica was awesome! She paid attention to all the little details and handled our crew of 6 like a pro. Everyone was happy and relaxed when we got home. We definitely plan to have Jessica watch them again!”

“Addison is an amazing Rover! I had to take care of a few things last minute and she was ready to answer the call. The daily updates and thoughtful messages were greatly appreciated. She truly cares about taking care of your animals! I highly recommend her to anyone seeking drop-in dog visits.”

About: I am a current fourth year veterinary student, and I have several years of experience in clinics and boarding facilities working with dogs and cats. Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me, it’s what I’ve dedicated my life and education to. Because of my clinical training and professional experience, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I have experience administering medications, monitoring for changes in behavior, and providing attentive care to pets who may be anxious or require special handling. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, or your cat needs a reliable sitter while you’re away, you can feel confident knowing they are in capable hands. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize safety, comfort, and enrichment at every visit. I’m currently working at a local veterinary clinic part-time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am free every day of the week for walks and drop-by sitting, and my timing is flexible each day depending on what your needs are! I will monitor your pets in your home and ensure that they stay within my sight and are not getting into anything they shouldn't be. When they are outside, I will either take them out on a leash if your yard is not fenced, or keep watch on them while they are in a fenced-in yard. On walks, I will use whatever accessories you suggest for your dog, whether that be a harness, collar, etc. I will bring water with me for any extended walks, and be sure to monitor them for any signs of fatigue especially in our hot weather. I am very flexible and can provide many different kinds of care tailored to your pet!

“Kassidy watched my 3 dogs for a couple days. She came right on time fed them, gave them water and let them out. Thank you for watching my Pups!”

About: I've been a pet owner for 30 years and have been a part of a dog rescue for the past 5 years where I have fostered and adopted out over 10 dogs. I currently have two dogs and a cat who are used to visiting animals in and out of the house. I'm currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I can provide boarding any day of the week, dog walks , and drop in visits as needed around my work schedule. While I'm home the animals are free roam and are welcome in any room in the house . However if there is a concern with cat reactivity i can block off an area where visiting dogs cannot get to cat area. At night pets are kenneled in their own 4x4 foot kennel space.

“Just finished another booking with Raven. She is so good with our boys and they love her! She does a great job and is really good with communication if issues come up or she has questions. Raven takes lots of pictures so I can see our boys. I never worry when we go out of town because we know Raven will do a great job and our boys will have fun!”

“April is a pro at this job! She thinks ahead while I-the cat owner - am worried about last minutes things to pack 😊. We had a great meet and greet which made me confident about the care our cat needs. All went smoothly and perfectly at home while we were away. April sent pictures and comments at every visit 🙏”

“Keitha did an amazing job watching our cat. He was comfortable around her to come out to play and be pet which is a good sign to me. I definitely recommend booking with her!”

“Michelle was amazing with our dog and two cats! She gave great updates and pictures. Her communication was fantastic. She gave lots of extra love to our animals, especially our anxious dog. We will definitely reach out to her for future pet needs!”

“Bayley was a great sitter. We were out of town and needed someone last minute to check on our 4 cats. I put in the request around midnight and she responded presumably as soon as she saw the request in the morning. She did everything that was requested and was very thorough in her communication which is everything to a pet owner. We definitely intend on using her in the future and would highly recommend her services.”

“Allison is a awesome pet caregiver. We had just moved to the area and had to go out of town for eight days and she did a fanominal job taking care of my cat. Highly recommend.”

“Lily was great with Toby and Sophie, right from the start. Toby is an anxious bulldog, but he took right to her. Lily was prompt on her visits, and handled everything as discussed. Great job!”

About: We LOVE dogs! My husband and I are experienced dog owners and caretakers, with experience spanning 15-20 years between the both of us. We will love your furbaby like they’re our own and they’ll leave our care happy and tired. We currently have two loves of our own named Butters (7 year old chocolate lab) and Poppy (1 year old foxhound mix) so we know how to handle dogs of all sizes. We have a large fenced in rear yard for playtime and a wonderful neighborhood to walk in. We are also centrally located in Fredericksburg so if your pup needs to go anywhere, we’ve got you covered! We do have small children so only dogs good with small kids can be accepted. We also do prefer a meet and greet with your pup before their stay with us.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, often referred to as the “pet whisperer” by family and friends! At any occasion you’ll find me on the floor giving the animals all the “Brittany love”, as my parents would describe my adoration for animals ever since I was a little girl. I grew up on a farm and have had all sorts of animals from chickens to horses, dogs/cats, bunnies, & even a hedgehog! It would be my honor (& my pleasure) to care for your sweet furry babies! 🩷 I just had my first (human) baby in March ‘23 and have decided to become a full-time stay-at-home mom! I’m looking to make a little extra cash to help support my family since we’re now only on my husband’s income as a firefighter, who is incredibly underpaid for such an important job… I have plenty of free time that I would love to devote to enhancing your furry babies’ quality of life all while enhancing my family’s as well! 🩵 I treat animals with just as much tender love & care as I do my own human baby and as I’ve treated others’ human babies during my time working as an elementary school counselor. If you’re looking for someone to provide more than just a service, I’m your girl. Know that my time with your pet will be filled with so much love, ON TOP of whatever service you may need! 💜

“Savannah was awesome. Everything went perfectly and my dogs we're really happy. Highly recommend, and thanks Savannah!!”
