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; my pet along with the others’ I have boarded have had no issues with a routine working schedule! 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.

“Raven was awesome! She took such good care of our cats and our home while we were gone. She gave detailed reports and sent pictures. She was always in communication with us. Simba and Storm will be happy to see her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dog for the last three years. I’m very trust worthy and compassionate when it comes to dogs, friends and family trust me with there pets I’m currently working during the week, but I’m available every weekend and also every Friday after 4:00 pm so I’ll have plenty of time to play with animals on weekends. I have a wide opened smoke free apartment so the pets could run freely and be comfortable. There is plenty of out door space also with a nature trail to walk.

“Bayley G. took wonderful care of David and Freddie. Both standoffish cats warmed up to her on the first day of her visits. It was a relief to be on vacation knowing they were in good hands and liked their care provider. Will definitely hire Bayley G. again.”

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! 💜

“Jessica did an awesome job with our cat. I especially appreciated her kindness and compassion when I told her that we had to put down our other fur baby earlier that week. I appreciated her messages and pictures too.❤️”

About: I have been around and loved dogs all of my life. I currently raise border collies and compete in agility and conformation shows. I also have 3 cats. 2 horses, 4 turkeys, 16 chickens, 2 goats, 1 sheep, 1 llama, 2 dumeril ground boas, 2 sand boas, 2 bearded dragons, 1 nile monitor , and guinea pigs and rats. As a former vet tech, I have experience dealing with a variety of canine health issues. As a dog trainer and dog training instructor, I have a strong background in training fundamentals. I have ample kennel space to board dogs. Dogs will have free range of my 3,000 sq foot home and will have nice long walks on my 5 acres. Our yard is fully fenced and dogs will have supervised playtime in the yard. Though I have children so I am somewhat selective of the dogs I keep at home. Dogs who require home visits will have play time and walks according to age and health. I offer dog walking, sitting, obedience training, and potentially boarding. My preference is to build a relationship with my clients and their dogs. I also have experience with all types of livestock and exotic animals so I have no issues caring for them as well. I am willing to drive within the Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania area between 9am and 3pm, though I can work around those time to accept dogs at home.

“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 🙏”

“Sarah and her family took excellent care of our kitty while we were on vacation. Even though our cat is very shy and didn't allow much interaction, they still managed to send us photos and updates, as well as taking care of her physical needs. I will definitely be calling on them again, and I highly recommend them! Very trustworthy and reliable sitters.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 9 y/o when my uncle started breeding puppies. Ever since I’ve been obsessed with animals. I love teaching new tricks, going on walks, playing and cuddles from pups and cats. I’m always available to sit when my neighbors, friends or family need me for their fur babies. I’m currently working a full time evening job so I’ll have plenty of time to walk and play with your pups during the morning and early afternoons. I am available to sit on weekends at anytime. I love taking my fur babies for walks and play time is a must to keep them active, engaged and to have as much fun as possible. I live giving treats and teaching new tricks and cuddles from our fur babies are the best.

About: I've been caring for dogs, cats and all types of farm animals for over a decade now. I really enjoy helping animals feel safe in whatever way I can and providing a sense of comfortability. From sweet cuddle bugs to reserved loners to senior geezers, all are welcome in my book. Whatever type of tail I'll love them regardless. I have little gremlins of my own, but that doesn't mean I'll prioritize yours any less. I can work in these timeliness almost always. This will change soon and I will adjust when it does :) Mondays: 12:15-3:40pm 10:30pm-8am Tuesdays: 12:15-2:30pm 7pm-8am Wednesdays: 12:15-3:40 10:30pm-8am Thursdays: 12:15-2:30pm 6:15pm-8am Fridays: 2:30pm through the night Saturdays: 9am-1pm Sundays: ask and I can let you know. If it's more than two weeks in advanced I can likely adjust my schedule. I am always respectful of boundaries both that you have and that your pet has. I like to spend extra time on walks or sitting with my clients fur babies to make sure they are comfortable and having a fun time with me. If they seem unsure I dont push them, I give them a little space. For eating I always assure if there's more than one animal they eat apart from each other to ensure no one gets too possessive over their food. Safe, comfortable, and fun are all important when thinking of your pet.
