About: I have been in the veterinary field for over five years. I have been a vet assistant, so I do have experience working with all times of pets. From all stages of life. I do have experience with giving medication and senior pets. I aim to learn the pet's habits to make sure they are happy while you are away. I'm currently working part-time. I'm available for pet sitting on the weekends,and Tuesday and Wednesday during the week. Also on the weekends I can do walking. Since I will be coming to your home, I will make sure to meet and spend time with your pet. To make sure you're pet is comfortable with me. Also, to see the energy of your pet. If your pet is on any medication, ill make sure they are given and know who their veterinarian is just in case of emergency. Then following any feeding instructions.

About: I have worked at a vet clinic for the past 7 summers. I have experience with all types of pets especially dogs and cats in a medical and home setting. I have three dogs of my own. I have a very flexible schedule during the summer as I am a college student who works remotely. During the school year I am available but not as frequently. I go to school in Georgia so am available to dog sit in that area from August through May. I am back in Virginia during the summer so my location can vary based on the time of year. I love to spend quality time with your fur babies. If they enjoy cuddles I am your girl. I will take them on walks, play fetch, or simply be someone to keep them company.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in preschool. My family has always had lots of pets throughout the house all through my childhood! I have lots of experience in giving baths, medicine, lots of cuddles and care! I will be sending plenty of pictures so you can see what your pet is up to at all times! I am currently working for myself while also working from home. This gives me all the time in the world to be just as attentive as you would be to your fur baby! I currently live in a nice neighborhood with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and open space for walks/jogs. My house is large enough to keep small dogs and larger dogs separated to ensure there are no accidents.

About: I stand out because I combine years of hands‑on pet care with formal training in progress. At home I care for a playful 9‑month‑old pup, a tiny 18‑year‑old chihuahua, plus beetles and bearded dragons—so I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and delicate seniors, as well as exotic pets. My dedication to animals has led me to pursue a future in the pet care service field. I have earned many certificates for animal care such as certification for Working with Dogs and Pet First Aid / CPR. I’m available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. -5 p.m. for dog walks, and during those hours I’m fully devoted to caring for your pets. While I balance family life with a child at home, pet care is truly part of my everyday routine—24/7 with my own animals—so giving reliable, loving attention to yours fits naturally into my schedule. I am a very “by the book” person who values safety, respect, and trust above all else. If I enter a client’s home, I make sure to only do what I am hired to do, treating both your pets and your space with the utmost care. My years of experience as a housekeeper taught me how important it is to be trustworthy and respectful of others’ belongings, and I carry those same standards into pet care. Loving animals is one of my core morals, and I would never jeopardize my family, my work, or your trust.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have entrusted me with their fur babies to walk, feed and bathe them. I have a pretty flexible job so I am available pretty much every day, multiple times a day! I can work with you and your schedule! I will care for your pets however you expect me to. I will love on them the best that I can! I adore animals and would love to watch yours!

About: I have six years of experience caring for dogs, including my own and pets belonging to friends and family. I’m dependable, patient, and comfortable following each dog’s individual routine. I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention while keeping owners updated with photos. My background in behavior has also taught me to remain calm, observant, and consistent with every pet. I work Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., so I’m available for evening visits during the week and have more flexible availability on weekends. I’ll always confirm timing in advance to ensure your pet receives dependable, unrushed care. I will follow your cat’s normal routine and all care instructions closely. I’ll keep doors and windows secure, refresh food and water, clean the litter box, provide playtime or quiet companionship, and send regular photo updates after each visit.

About: I've grown up having dogs all my life and have dog sat and cat sat for neighbors and family since I was in high school. I am very active and love walking dogs! I am a current grad student and have a mostly flexible schedule. I am available on weekends and in the evenings to check in on or walk your pets! I am not currently looking to have a dog stay in my apartment as I am not able to have a dog at my apartment complex

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, administering basic medications if needed, and making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. As a teacher, I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive to routines and details. I know how important consistency is, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just relax and cuddle, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I know leaving your pet with someone else takes trust, and I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing reliable, loving care and keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay or visit. I’m currently on summer break, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide reliable, attentive care for your pet. During the school year, my availability is typically in the mornings, evenings, weekends, and school breaks. I’ll always communicate my schedule clearly and do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat your pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I’m attentive to routines, follow any instructions you provide, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: Hello, I am a retired college basketball coach as of a month ago and I grew up on a farm in Alabama with every type of animal you can think of that I was in charge of taking care of! 😊 I have a love for all animals and would love to take care of yours! I am available everyday of the week to come walk, let out, or keep your animal overnight! I’m free at any point of the day to help with a persons busy schedule. I keep a very neat and organized house for all guest including your pet! I am also available for spending the night at your home to watch your pet if needed. I will always love and take care of your sweet pet when I am watching them! I will send pictures of them throughout the day and video call whenever you want!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I also have experience caring for cats, puppies, and senior pets, ensuring they feel loved and safe while their owners are away. My goal is to provide the best care tailored to your pet’s needs. I’m available evenings and weekends for pet care, including walks and in-home visits. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to your pet’s needs whenever you need support! I prioritize creating a safe and loving environment for all pets. Whether it’s in your home or during walks, your furry friend will receive attentive and caring supervision.

About: Your pets will be safe with me and have such a great time they will be having a vacation themselves. I am a full-time teacher but my brother lives with me and works second shift. So you get two sitters for the price of one! I am also available to walk dogs after I get home in the evenings or all weekends/holidays. I have had cats and dogs since I can remember. I love caring for and connecting with all animals. At one time I took care of 3 day old kittens and nurtured them back to health. They grew into three beautiful cats. I have fostered and volunteered with the humane societies in my area because I believe all animals deserve to be loved. Making sure your pets are taken care of while you are away would be a rewarding opportunity. I would love to have the chance to care for your furry family member. Give me a chance to get to help you love on your pet.

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: I have 1 of my own dogs who lives with me. But I also have experience with a total of 4 dogs as my parents have 3. All are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I am comfortable with all medium and small size dogs. I do request that they are house trained. I like to take dogs on walks but if they are smaller it is okay if they are not perfect at walking on a leash. I can even help work with them on that. I currently work a normal day job during the week. But I work remote, that means that the dogs would not be alone at all during the day. They would have someone to care for them, take them out and feed them if necessary. Every day it is not raining, I do go on a 1 mile walk with my dog on my lunch so that they get good exercise. HOUSE SITTING: I can work remote from your house providing care all day. However, my dog Charlie would also have to come with me. If this is something that you do not feel comfortable with, I can offer drop in help instead. I have 1 of my own dogs (Charlie) who lives with me full time. My apartment is fully equipped for a dog to be here safely. I have a balcony where the dogs can spend time enjoying the fresh air. My dog gets along with all other dogs and is very friendly as he used to go to daycare with many other dogs. I have the ability to walk the dogs, get them fresh air and exercise. I also have dog toys and bones available for them to use. Dogs are allowed in all areas of my place. Including the couch, dog beds and human beds. Allowing them to be where they feel the most comfortable.

“Ashley was wonderful and clearly had a lot of experience with dogs. She helped us when another sitter fell through last minute.”

About: I have lived on a farm since I was 6 taking care of numerous animals. I have cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, birds, lizards and cows. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I previously worked at a dog groomers and have been pet sitting animals since I was in high school. I am a server at a restaurant currently so I have most of my day free to provide care for animals. I can also adjust my schedule pretty easily. I currently live in an apartment so boarding would be a little difficult but I have no problem visiting/staying at houses! I am also used to administering meds to animals if that would be an issue.
