About: I’ve taken care of a couple of dogs in this area while people are on holiday leave or vacations. I enjoy dogs so much! I always had dogs growing up around the house and they are truly a man’s best friend! I currently work full-time during the day with a hybrid type work schedule that allows me to work from home part of the time. I have availability in the evenings and mostly weekends to be able to pet sit! The precaution of using a leash and making sure I am aware of using that for every single walk is crucial for safety on walks. I want to be able to care for your home well and lock up every time I come and go. I would most definitely ask for specific requests for your animals such as feeding time, when they need to go out, how often for walks to your specific liking.

“Sophia is EXCELLENT in all respects. She is very conscientious and amazing with dogs. She went above and beyond for us, addressing challenging issues in real time and responding flexibly when situations and needs changed. We are so grateful to have her caring for our dog!”

“Was able to accommodate me last minute. Met beforehand and was immediately happy with how well she got along with my pets. Kept great updates and plenty of amazing pictures. Easy to get a hold of when needed and made my first Rover experience amazing.”

About: I’ve been in a constant home of taking care of animals from a young age. I’ve trained over 6 dogs for basic training and have homed three cats. I’m versatile when it comes to new puppies as well as senior dogs. I’m a part time student so I’m mostly free in the evenings on weekdays and the weekends. For stop-bys and walks, I’m also free anytime before 9 am. In my own home I’ve got a lot of land for my own pets to roam within our land boundaries. Walking is a big part of giving pets time for exercise as well as calmer inside moments along with breakfast and dinner. Taking animals on rides to introduce them to different aspects of our world (exposure- therapy).

“Maggie was wonderful with our little guy. From her reports I could tell she took the time to get to know him and was very communicative. And was available on short notice! Will definitely use Maggie again.”

About: I don’t just care for your pets, I strive to make them see me as part of the family! Also love to clean, so you know you will return to your house with it being just as clean as you left it. Ample training with young pups as well as caring for older animals. I work a job where I make my own hours, so I can fit whatever requirements into my schedule. No need to worry about long stretches without your loved one being checked on! Multiple walks are given each day (depending on their needs), with the option to run with them if they are high-energy dogs. All for the cuddles and playing inside for those that need either or both instead!

About: With over 5 years of experience handling small to medium dogs, I've provided expert care through regular walks, feeding, grooming, and pet sitting for family friends. My passion for animals ensures they receive personal attention, comfort, and love, whether it's during daily routines or when they need a trusted sitter while their owners are away ! As a full-time graduate student, pet care fits into my routine by allowing me to balance my academic responsibilities with my love for walking outdoors. Since I’m new to Lynchburg, it’s a great way to explore the community while giving dogs the care and attention they need. I’m available evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends, with added flexibility on Wednesdays and Fridays, making it easy to adjust to your pet’s needs! I currently live in an apartment, which provides a great space to walk dogs outdoors. In the past, I've pet-sat in clients' homes, always respecting their space and following specific instructions to ensure their pets receive the best care. Although I don’t have any pets of my own after losing my dog two years ago, I approach each pet with the same love and attention I would for my own, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while in my care.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, I have a cat currently and family members have always had dogs and cats. I volunteered at the Humane Society throughout high school and have lots of experience pet sitting! 😻 I also used to foster kittens which I loved doing. I love being around animals and caring for them. I am a student working part time, so that gives me plenty of free time to check in on your furry friends throughout the day, take them on walks, and spend the night with them! I am a trustworthy person who will respect your space as I would my own and leave it better than I found it. I have my EMT-b certification and am working currently as an RBT, so I have been through several background checks and first aid trainings. Safety and trust are very important to me and if desired I can frequently send you pictures/videos of your pets throughout the day! 🫶

“Joelle was a great cat sitter. She was prompt, efficient and a very nice young lady. My cat enjoyed her visits and I felt good abandoning my cat for a few days.”

About: Grew up with cats and now I have a dog. I am very interested in pet behavior and would love to learn more about your pet I’m a festival food vendor so I often have unavailability on Saturday’s, but I have full availability during weekdays from morning to night. I can do short notice I have no carpet and vacuum often. I care deeply about making sure your pet is safe and as comfortable as possible. For walks I love learning about the uniqueness of each pet

“Madison is superb. She’s incredibly responsive and responsible. We were nervous about leaving our pups behind and concerned we might have trouble finding someone brave AND loving enough to care for the bully breed. Madison didn’t flinch and our dogs took to her immediately. She is professional, kind, punctual, caring, and will even send photos, which is incredibly thoughtful and reassuring. We won’t hesitate to rely on Madison in the future and highly recommend her services to others.”

“This is the 2nd time we have used Caroline to watch our 4 legged baby and she was absolutely excellent! I always feel comfortable when she is watching over him. Caroline keeps up great communication with me and I am confident that Rhett is well loved and taken care of while we are out of town. We will definitely be booking Caroline again in the future!”

“Isa was punctual and took very good care of my dogs. The pictures were cute, and it looked as if they were having fun. Thanks. Yes, I would ask Isa to take care of my dogs again in the future.”

About: I have 3 dogs a miniature dachshund, hound mix from the humane society as well as a German Shepard retriever mix from the shelter! I love animals and I will take great care of yours like they are my own and give them so much love! I stay at home with my 3 dogs as I am transitioning between jobs so just looking for some money to make and some friends for my doggies to play with! I have 3 dogs that can keep yours company, I have 3 crates as well as a large yard with a lead that my dogs roam on. I can watch in your home or mine but would be easier in mine with my pups!

“Kylie is the best! Not only is she reliable and communicative, but she gave my cat so much attention, love, and cuddles while I was gone. I had so much peace of mind knowing my fluff was being well taken care of. Kylie is so kind and reassuring. Would 110% recommend you book her for your pet sitting needs!”

“Taylor watched our dog Brown for a few days and now he doesn’t like us anymore (just kidding)! She did a very good job. On time, responsible, photos of Brown and played with him. We will use her again. Probably in Sept 2019.”
