“Angela has been fantastic with my puppy! She is always on time, answers every question or request promptly, is very helpful, and is so sweet and caring towards my puppy! Would definitely recommend!”
“Alainna is amazing! She stepped in to help me walk my two girl dogs because I have some health issues going on. She was here a few minutes early and very sweet and kind. She even brought treats for them to have during their walk! My two dogs loved her instantly 😊”
“Heather always does a great job with our pup! Due to my ongoing changing schedule, I often reach out to her the night before I am in need of her service. She remains flexible with times and is great with communication!”
“Keri was so great with our boys! From first meeting her they were so comfortable and welcomed her. This allowed me to feel totally at ease while away. Our dog Oakley is prone to seizures and isn’t always the most welcoming but he loved Keri from when he first met her. Will definitely be rebooking in the future 😊♥️”
“Barbora is a sweetheart with our shy dog Rufus. She is patient and gives Rufus his time to warm up to her. She communicates very well and takes excellent care for our furry babies. Rufus has made another friend :)”
About: I’ve had dogs from childhood up to now as a college student. I had experience taking care of my second dog once he was a senior and needed extra care. And additional experience working with two vet clinics. Currently working on and off until June 22, when I will move to a full time job. Mostly free every day up until early evening until that date I can easily walk your dog anywhere you’d like me to for as short or long as needed. I’m always aware of surroundings and will always ensure safety of your dog. I will make sure to keep the dog entertained and safe if you’re looking for someone to look in on them. And if desired, will keep contact with you with updates. I am more than happy to look after your doggo!
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.
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! 🫶
About: I grew up with a German Shepherd and regularly walked and cared for a variety of dogs and cats in my neighborhood. I also volunteered as a dog walker at the Humane Society, so I have hands-on experience specifically with walking dogs of all types. I am a college student at liberty university, and have classes in the mornings. In the afternoons and evenings I am mostly free, and also on the weekends as well. Whenever you have need, I will do my best to be available and take care of your pet! I will always make sure your dog is safe and happy on our walks. If I am house-sitting or doing drop-in visits, I am very communicative and will follow your directions with detail. Happy to send pictures and updates too!
“Caroline is wonderful. She took such good care of our 14 week old puppy. She is very diligent and careful in keeping us updated and making sure that it was a wonderful dog walking experience. Would highly recommend Caroline!”
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 a pet sitter since I was a little girl, always watching neighbors pets and friends and families pets, and I’ve been a groomer since 2020. Helping animals is my calling and I love helping anyway I can. Your fur baby will always be safe in my care. When I'm not caring for pets at one job, I'm caring for pets at another. ❤ I'll try my best to keep my schedule updated accurately for you to see when were available! Our schedule for availability is primarily Sundays, Mondays, and Fridays. I have a fenced in back yard and 2 rooms for you baby to safely play or rest in. We also have a lovely neighborhood with nice neighbors 🙂
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for nine years. I’ve also walked dogs at the Lynchburg Humane Society for years, and petsitted for and walked many others over the years. I’m available all summer thru mid August for pet walking/sitting. I’m very flexible due to my part-time work and am always open to last-minute requests! I have years of experience pet sitting within owners’ homes and am willing to accommodate whatever needs they have for their own home and their pets. I adore animals and have enough experience caring for them to be confident I can provide a positive experience for everyone involved.
About: I’ve had dogs most of my adult life and they are my children. Your fur baby will live like a king/queen during their time with me. I will have play time, snuggles, and walks. I work from home so it’s easy to take care of your fur baby. They will have most of my attention and I walk five times I live in a great neighborhood and everyone is out walking. If your animal sleeps with you, then they will sleep with me. Anything I can do so your furry friend feels at home.

Sophia M.
“When I first got my dog Bear, he was only about 8 weeks old and still very much in the middle of potty training and adjusting to a routine. About a month later, my friend watched him for a week while I was away, and she did such an amazing job with him. She was so patient, gentle, and consistent, and I could tell she really cared about helping him feel safe and comfortable. Bear completely bonded with her during that time, and to this day, he gets so excited every time he sees her. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again.”

Katevonni S.
“Katevonni has been a wonderful part of my families lives for many years, providing exceptional care for our family's pets. She’s always been flexible with her time and willing to step in on short notice, which has been such a relief. Every time our dogs saw her, their tails would start wagging with excitement—you could clearly see how happy they were to be around her. That kind of reaction told me everything I needed to know. When we’re not home, I have full confidence that our dogs are not just being looked after, but genuinely loved, played with, and cared for as if they were her own. That’s all we could ever ask for. I completely trust Katevonni in our home and with any future pet sitting. I hope others take a chance on her like we did so many years ago—because she’s more than just a pet sitter now, she’s become a family friend. She’s fantastic at what she does, and I know any pet in her care will receive nothing but the very best.”
Kenzie & Kristyin H.
“Kenzie has always helped me with my dog and frequently gives advice for caring for my dog Daisy. She cares deeply about animals and their safety and will do her best to guarantee a good service for them.”
Abigail G.
“Abby is dependable and clearly loves taking care of animals. She carefully follows directions on feeding and caring for my pets (1 dog and 2 cats) and they all love her. She always makes sure my dog is well-exercised and that they all get some playtime and cuddles. She will send photos daily as well as additional updates if requested. I know I don't have to worry when she is taking care of my crew!”
Tabbitha B.
“Tabby is FANTASTIC!!! She kept all 3 of my pups in her home so we could go on vacation! They absolutely LOVE her ! She is so great with them and she even sent me pictures and videos each day to show what they were doing and that they were doing great and having fun ! I would absolutely recommend Tabby without reservation. ! She is a true dog lover and I would trust her completely !!!”
