Dog Sitting Powhatan

“Erica is absolutely amazing! She took care of my fur babies, Milo and Pickle Boy, and went completely above and beyond. She always arrived right on time, took them for great walks, gave them extra snuggles, and even surprised them with treats and pup cups! She is incredibly responsible and always made sure the doors were locked securely behind her. She kept me updated every single day with pictures, letting me know exactly what they ate and what they did in the yard. She even cleaned up any messes they made. Erica is the absolute perfect choice for your dogs—I will definitely be hiring her again!”

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 always grew up around dogs of all sizes (especially the large ones) and always have a heart for our furry friends. I take care of the dogs in our neighbor and when someone needs just to check up on the pup I’m usually the one to do it! There has never been a time where I haven’t lived with a dog so I’ve had many years of experience with dogs! I’m currently a college student and would love to spend my free time looking and caring after dogs for the ones who need an extra hand! I offer the drop in care and walks because I prefer getting to know the dogs in their own environment first before bringing them into a new one!

About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs has always been part of my everyday life. Growing up, my parents frequently puppy-sat for multiple dogs, which taught me how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I also have two dogs of my own at home, giving me firsthand experience with daily care, patience, and responsibility. In addition, I have experience with dog walking and hosting pups, so I understand how to keep dogs safe, comfortable, and happy both on walks and in a home setting. I treat every dog like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a student-athlete at Liberty, I’m very structured with my time, which makes it easy for me to plan walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins around my classes and training schedule. Caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy and find relaxing, so I’m happy to make it a consistent part of my day and week while still being reliable and attentive to each pet’s needs. I currently do not offer pet care in my own home since I live in an apartment complex. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am very respectful of their space and follow all instructions closely. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and stress-free while maintaining a clean and respectful environment in my clients’ homes.

“Nicole was very friendly and communicative! My cat seemed to love her! She followed all instructions and was very easy to work with. I will definitely be booking with her again for my next trip out of town! Thank you, Nicole!!”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring animal lover with experience taking care of family pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll always treat them with patience, attention, and love like they’re part of my own family. I have been taking care of my family's pets my entire life; we have always had dogs and lizards for as long as I can remember, and it is a team effort to take care of our family members that can't speak for themselves. I’m excited to provide reliable care and help give you peace of mind while you’re away from your furry friends! I am currently working part-time at the Lynchburg courthouse in downtown. This includes Mondays-Wednesdays from 8:30-5:00. I am a law student at Liberty, so I am constantly working on some law related project or another, but I can offer time to house sit so long as there is a wifi connection! If you are located near downtown, I am able to offer midday visits to your pet Mon-Wed for potty breaks/walks at lunch time. I have always had dogs and lizards in my life growing up. While I have never cared for an animal that is special needs, I have cared for many different types of pet-personalities. I am happy to cuddle with your pet and go out for a long walk for the high-energy movers, as well as sit back and keep my distance if your friend is a little shy. Caring for an animal, to me, means listening to what they need when they tell you the first time.

About: I’ve grown up with four dogs, so taking care of pups is second nature to me! Over the years, I’ve handled everything from basic training to feeding schedules and making sure they feel loved and comfortable. Recently, I boarded an 8-week-old puppy for a couple of nights, and it was such a fun experience! I love staying active and going on walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or making sure their routine is just right, I’m all in. I’m dedicated to treating your pet like family and ensuring they feel at home while you’re away! I’m currently a graduate student at Liberty University, and all of my classes are online. I also work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, potty breaks, or simply keeping them company, I make sure every pet receives the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. I keep my calendar up to date and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to, so you can feel confident your pet is in reliable hands. I prioritize safety and trust when caring for pets, whether at my home or my client’s. I create a comfortable, stress-free environment where your pet can feel at ease, and I’m attentive to their specific needs, from feeding routines to any special care they require. I’m also very mindful of pet safety, making sure to keep an eye on their surroundings, whether it’s during walks or in the home. In your home, I treat your space with respect, maintaining your pet’s routine to minimize stress while you’re away. My goal is to build a trusting relationship with both you and your pet, ensuring they are safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with — and cared for — pets of all shapes and sizes, from dogs and cats to fish, birds, horses, rodents, and even reptiles. No matter who your furry (or scaly!) family member is, I’m excited to give them the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my day. I take care of my cat every morning and evening—making sure she has fresh water, the right amount of food, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime. Since I’m already in a daily rhythm of caring for pets, adding walks or drop-ins fits easily and naturally into my routine. At home, my kitten is always the first one to greet me at the door, so I make sure she gets attention and reassurance right away. I keep her routine consistent—fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and lots of playtime and affection. When caring for a client’s pets, I’m very mindful of their established routines. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions exactly as given. I want every pet to feel comfortable and secure, so I do my best to maintain the rhythm they’re used to. Whether it’s my home or yours, my priority is making sure pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for.

About: I have grown up having dogs and have had 5 dogs in my lifetime so far, I currently have 3 of my own! So far, I have had experience with taking care of a dog who takes medication, Puppies, old doggies (they are sometimes the sweetest ones 🥺❤️), medium sized dogs, larger dogs, and teeny tiny ones! I have also done check in’s for my neighbor’s cat. I am passionate about working with dogs especially, it is such a rewarding and fulfilling experience and I would be happy to discuss working with you on how to help your dog live a healthy and loved life! I am currently working part-time so on Monday’s, Tuesdays, and Friday’s I am usually available (still contact me just in case because my manager doesn’t always schedule me!) from 2:30pm-3:30pm and 7pm-8pm. I am available Wednesday’s and Thursday’s from 2:30pm-8pm. On Saturday’s I am free unless stated otherwise. And Sunday’s I am available from 8am-5pm with the exception of church in the morning! Daytime House Sitting (6-8 hours) I offer daytime house sitting for pet parents who need extended care during the day. This includes staying in your home for 6-8 hours to provide full supervision, companionship, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime. Rate: $60 for 6-8 hours. Custom quotes available for longer stays. If your dog doesn’t have many toys, I bring some toys with me to ensure that your dog has a blast and to keep them from finding other objects to play with that are not toys. I also bring a spare leash and collar just in case my client does not have one.

About: I have owned dogs for my entire life. I have always had pets growing up. Also grew up goats, cows, therefore, very comfortable around animals. I have pet sit for dogs and cats several times in the past for various people. I am currently at home on break from college so my schedule is pretty open to help out when I am needed with your fur babies:) I am flexible to whatever your babies' needs are. Whatever is best for your pet, I am happy to do. At home, my dogs are one of the most important things to me, so I understand how important this is.
