About: Hi! I’m a rising sophomore at Virginia Tech with a flexible schedule from working part time. I love dogs and have experience helping friends walk, feed, and care for their pets. I’m reliable, patient, and will make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I enjoy staying active and spending time with dogs. I help babysit for a family daily from 3–6 PM, but outside of that I have a very flexible schedule and can be available at different times throughout the day. I love staying active and enjoy going on walks with dogs, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’ve always loved dogs and enjoy spending time playing with them and taking them on walks. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy.
“Nicole walks our dog daily and we fully recommend her for anyone's pet care needs! Our dog is greatly improving on the leash after his daily walks with Nicole and is so at ease when she is around. Nicole is responsive, on time, and, most importantly, great with our dog.”
“Danny is so kind and caring with our 10 month old puppy and makes sure he gets all the love, care, and walks he needs. He is very attentive and flexible to the dog’s needs and so communicative with us.”
About: I may not have a dog at home right now, but I’ve been the go-to person in my friend group whenever someone needs a sitter or walker they can actually trust. Dogs have always gravitated toward me — probably because I treat every pup like my own. I grew up with a family dog who I loved deeply, and losing her a few years ago only deepened my appreciation for how much these animals mean to us. Taking care of your dog isn’t just a job to me — it’s genuinely one of my favorite things to do. Expect lots of walks, playtime, cuddles on demand, and photo updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs the time, attention, and exercise they deserve, whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or a full day of company. I treat every dog like family. I follow each pet parent’s routines and instructions closely, keep dogs leashed and secure at all times, and send regular updates and photos so you always know your pup is happy and safe. Your dog’s comfort and wellbeing is always my top priority.
About: I’m a reliable and attentive dog sitter who takes the time to understand each dog’s specific needs and routine. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable adjusting my approach depending on their age, energy level, and behavior. With puppies, I focus on reinforcing good habits like basic commands, potty training routines, and appropriate play. I stay consistent with whatever training style the owner prefers to help support their progress. I also have experience with senior care, including giving medications, monitoring mobility, and making sure older dogs stay comfortable and don’t overexert themselves. I pay close attention to any changes in behavior and keep owners updated. I’m patient, observant, and make sure every dog feels safe, cared for, and well looked after. I am a college student at Penn State University and am back for summer, so I’m free everyday and am flexible with timing to fit your needs. I follow each pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I stick to their feeding, walking, and care instructions while making sure the pet gets plenty of attention and exercise.

About: I grew up on a farm taking care of so many different types of animals! I grew up with 2 Jack Russell’s, have taken care of golden retrievers, pit bulls, golden doodles, pugs, and so many other breeds-to include dogs who are medically complex. I work as a fitness instructor and consistently have multiple hour breaks between my coaching sessions. The perfect amount of time to take your pup on a walk or a potty break! Bonus- it helps me get my steps in ☺️ Very good at following verbal and written instructions to ensure your dog is cared for just as you would. I am more than willing to share my references with you if it makes you feel more comfortable!
“Lauren was great to work with and I will definitely contact her again the next time we need someone to walk our dogs. She was responsive, flexible, and great with our two German Shepherds. She also sent pictures of the dogs each time she walked them. I would highly recommend you reach out to Lauren!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I have house sat, walked, and bathed dogs of family and friends multiple times. I am comfortable caring for all sized dogs. I grew up with a very anxious rescue dog, so I have experience with sweet dogs who need extra patience. I am a full time teacher, so I have summers off. During the school year I will be available to help after school and on weekends. Until August I am available all day each day of the week. I will care for your pet with patience and respect. I love being around dogs, and I will always follow pet instructions and guidelines provided.
About: Whether I’m taking care of my own cat, or just getting to know your pets for a few days, I promise to show them all the same love! I’ve had pets my whole life, and have had a cat that’s been the center of my world the past few years. Obviously her basic needs are always a top priority, but so is just spending time hanging out and playing. I recently moved to Missoula and had to leave her at home with my sister, so I’m really missing having animals around me. I currently live in a house with a small enclosed backyard and a large park nearby. The neighborhood is overall pretty quiet and great for walks!
About: I looked and took care of my Yorkie dog for 18 years. He was a very healthy dog. Also, I took care of all the family dogs and cats. I will have time to play and take care of your pet.

They should have all the vaccines and adequate space to be themselves.
