About: I am a fur mommy to an amazing little guy we call Charlie Brown! He is wonderful with adults and children alike! We would love to find him some new friends by watching your cute fur babies too! In my house, someone is always home, so your pet would never be alone! We love to go on long walks through the neighborhood and the local park. Our Charlie Brown loves car rides! My husband is great with animals and loves to play with them! We also have a 3 year old girl who is learning to play with our dogs as well and a full of life 6 year old boy who loves animals, so playtime is all the time here! There is never a dull moment, that's for sure! If you aren't comfortable with your pet coming to our house, that's ok too! I can come to you! I'm a trustworthy, respectful, playful dogsitter as well. Transportation is not an issue. I can stay over night or I can just check in from time to time with your little one. It's all up to you! Let me know what you need and we can figure it all out. I am looking forward to hearing from you and to getting to know all of those adorable fur babies!!!! "Ready to spoil, walk, pet and play! With our family, it's always a fun day!!!" I work for myself so my schedule is never an issue! Whatever may be needed, I will make happen. However, written instructions are always helpful! I don't have a fenced yard. However I do have a runner line that your pets can be hooked to outside so they can play as much as they want to without worry!!

About: Hi! My name is Alexis, I am 27 years old, and I have been around animals my entire life. Growing up I helped my dad with training his rabbit dogs and attending to their needs while he was at work or etc. I am born and raised in Amherst, VA. I own my own townhouse in Madison Heights. Although, the area is not fenced in there is a nice big yard for your fur-baby to get plenty of exercise and exposure to the sun and fresh air!!

You and your fur-baby will be happy with my services. I do work 40 hours a week from home which allows me to have more time at home to attend to your fur-baby. Your dog/cat will be able to roam freely in the house unless otherwise requested. I do not work weekends, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I can easily crate your dog as needed. All dogs are walked on leashes when we go for walks. I respect your wishes in my home and your home.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 10,family friends and neighbors have trusted me and I love animals I treat them just like big babys!! I have a dog of my own and also 3 ducks who we love dearly ❤️ we have a large yard for our animals to run around in. I love all types of animals❤️ I am a very well trusted person. I am 25 and I am married. I also who have a daughter is who is almost 3 and she is very much an animal lover too. I am also in school to become a teacher! Since I am going to school and am a stay at home mom I am pretty much available anytime ! I can also house animals in my home. I will do whatever request the owner ask! I love all animals all sizes.

About: I have had a variety of pets since I was a little kid, and have always been very involved in their care- my special love is large dogs. I am experienced with training young dogs- it was my job as a teenager to take my young Bouvier to obedience school in the park- we graduated! My family has always been very pet oriented, and in recent years, I made sure my elderly mom had pets in our home- they complete the family. She has passed on to be with our fur babies who left before her, and now I’d love to host and care for your pet! I work based from home, about 35 hours a week. But, it’s very flexible work, as I do not clock in and out, and so am quite available throughout the day for play and walkies. I do leave the house 2-5 hours per day for work and errands, typically in the afternoon. This is also flexible , and can be adjusted as needed. I have a large, unfenced yard for quick leashed potty breaks-but I’d be doing regular walks around my quiet, semi-rural neighborhood.My next door neighbor has a big fenced yard and a tween boy who loves dogs, but doesn’t have one- so that is available if you like! If your dog likes to ride in the car, I’d love to take him to Sweet Briar College campus for big nature walks, with bonus cuddles from the adoring students. I primarily can offer leashed walks. I do have a large crate if it’s something your dog requires.
“Casey was pawsome! She sent pictures of the dogs every time she came to walk them. She even brought dog petters with her. Our dogs were happy, walked and fed on the schedule we laid out. Very happy with the service ??”
About: Since being on this app I have taken care of blind, deaf, and diabetic dogs from all ages. I have delivered shots and oral medications. I have a very flexible availability, especially during the summers. During my time off I spend most of my time outside exploring the great outdoors! I have a securely fenced-in yard, and my resident bernedoodle is eager to make new friends (please note: your dog must be dog-friendly and comfortable around people). As someone who loves to jog and hike in nature, I can promise an enriching environment. Whether they require special care or simply need a fun adventure, I'm here to accommodate your requests. I look forwards to providing your pet with a fun and memorable stay!

Suzanne Z.
“I have known Suzanne since we were freshmen at Sweet Briar College in 1987, and while we did not share any academic classes we did ride horses together. Suzanne had brought her horse, Nugget, with her to college, and it was apparent right away that she loved, respected, and admired Nugget deeply. We kept in touch after college, so I got to hear about Nugget's last years, which Suzanne made sure were happy, comfortable ones. She cared for him like a beloved family member. When Suzanne got a dog, I saw the same spirit of deep caring I had witnessed with her horse. She obviously takes no short cuts, ever, in caring for an animal in her charge. Even the tiny frogs living in her backyard have received her tender loving care. I would feel completely comfortable -- and lucky -- to have Suzanne care for my dogs, and in fact I have left my human children with her for a long weekend, which should prove how much a trust her!”

Caira M.
“I am delighted to recommend Caira as an exceptional dog walker. She has been walking my dog(s) for an few years and I can confidently say that she is one of the most reliable, caring, and professional individuals I’ve ever entrusted with my pet’s care. From the first meeting, it was clear that Caira has a natural connection with animals. She quickly built trust with my poodle Gerti who can be a bit nervous with new people" or "high-energy and excitable"]. Caira handled every situation with patience, confidence, and kindness, always putting my dog’s well-being first. She is consistently punctual, communicative, and attentive to detail. I really appreciate the updates she sends after each walk—often including photos and thoughtful notes about how things went. It's a small touch that reflects the genuine care she puts into her work. Caira has become a valued part of our routine, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and responsible dog walker. Your dog will be in excellent hands with her. Sincerely, Leslie”
