House Sitting in Rich Creek

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of all sorts of breeds since I was teen. My friends and family have relied on me to feed, take on walks, and their fury friends while they’re away. I have experience taking care of senior dogs as well as dogs with several different medical needs. I’ve dog sat one dog for a weekend and I’ve also dog sat 6 dogs for a week. Owning several dogs is nothing new to me. Currently working a full-time job from 8:30am - 5:30pm Monday - Friday. If you live in the Christiansburg/Blacksburg area I am able to do drop by visits during my lunch break. Saturday and Sunday I am pretty available. I’ll make sure your fury friend gets let out at appropriate times and have plenty of time to play around if it’s just a drop by visit. Have a dog with a medical condition? No problem I have experience with dogs who have epilepsy and who are allergic to everything under the sun. Senior dogs I understand the importance in being extra patient and gentle with them.

About: I’m not no expert trainer or anything but my Aussie learned how to roll over sit and lay down and shake and how to sit pretty before the age of one! If that’s something you want your pet to do I’m sure I can do some one on one time! But again I am not a professional! That being said aussies are very high energy! I take her outside any chance I get! We are on a pretty good routine! Any who, I can accommodate any needs your pet may need cat or doggo! Just click on me and come get to know my family! I have plenty of time to take care of animals! I am currently a student at Ashland community and technical college studying radiology tech. I make it a priority to help others out My animals are fed at a specific time everyday! My cats aren’t allowed outside! They do have plenty of enrichment! My Aussie is aquatinted with the cats so there’s no issue there

“Another fantastic experience with Kennedy! She communicated often and kept us updated regularly, and Scout had a great time with her new friend! Thanks, Kennedy!”

About: I have extensive experience with many breeds of dogs from small to large. I love them all and want to make they're experience of being at home with out you as easy as possible for you and them. I will be able to help release some of that pent up energy from being crated all day or from being in the house without companionship. Help with basic training such as walking nicely on a leash. I'm willing to come when you work late or over night and hate to leave them alone for extended hours. I'm willing to transport them to veterinarian visits or just for a change of scenery. Let's work together for them. Let me be the answer you've been looking for. Thanks Allison

About: I’m an experienced cat sitter and foster caregiver with a passion for helping pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently foster two cats and have two of my own, and over the years I’ve cared for and socialized more than 40 cats and kittens. I’ve currently work for a non-profit rescue called Forgotten Animal Rescue and work closely with local shelters on TNR programs and adoptions, gaining hands-on experience with shy or nervous cats and helping them become comfortable around humans. Whether it’s daily care, administering medications, or offering extra love and attention, I’m committed to making every pet feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I have a consistent daily routine that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I’m available to check in, feed, and play with cats multiple times a day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings during weekends and anytime after before 8 am or after 5pm on weekdays. Because I foster cats and have my own at home, caring for pets is naturally built into my day, and I can adjust my schedule to meet the needs of each pet I sit. I prioritize a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure the space is secure, clean, and free from hazards, with plenty of cozy spots for pets to relax. I handle all pets gently and patiently, especially those who may be nervous or shy, giving them time to adjust and feel comfortable.

About: I've recently graduated with a chemistry degree but pets and wildlife make me happy! Animals put a smile on my face so I would love to meet yours! I own 2 cats and took care of our family dog and cats as my weekly "chores" throughout my childhood, so I've been doing this for a long time now. Some other pets that I've owned: rabbits, gerbils, fish, aquatic snails, and a hedgehog. Rest assured that I'm always available to tend to your pet in case of an emergency. I'm available nearly any time because I set my own work schedule, and it is usually flexible for me to show up for something when needed. I can also switch things around when necessary. I'm flexible to work with. I'm more than happy to send picture updates and to take care of any special needs that your pet(s) might have! I will always be there to attend to their needs on schedule and will treat them with the same love and care that my own pets receive.

About: I enjoy taking care of dogs and cats of all sizes. I also am attentive to watering plants, watching out for deliveries, and checking mail. I keep the house neat and orderly just as I would have found it. I also am quiet and would be respectful if there are neighbors. I work remotely full-time, Monday through Friday, which fits well with pet sitting as I would be readily available while I work, and my current hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. I can take breaks frequently to walk pets and do all that is needed. I read instructions carefully left and adhere to all that is needed for each pet. I am glad to ask questions when those arise, and I also at times may take a picture of the pet to send to show how content each pet is and that they are doing well.

About: Ever since I was born I had an animal right by my side . I have learned to take care of animals and provide for them. I have taken care of friends, family and neighbors pets in the past.

I’m experienced with walking multiple dogs at a time because I got 3 myself. I’m currently working 3:30 am to 12:00 pm so I will have plenty time to spend with your animals. I’m free on the weekends as well . Willing to come to your place to house sit and take care of your animals. I have done that in the past for people. Willing to also stop by and give water, food and walks with some play time on the side .

“Yulia did a great job pet sitting for us! She was a very responsive communicator and asked a lot of thoughtful questions up front to make sure we were both well-prepared. She did her best to dodge rainy weather and take Frankie on nice long walks while we were away. Loved getting pictures and updates from her on the first day and appreciated her responsiveness when I reached out on the day we were headed home.”

“Nancy was awesome! Was great with all of our animals, from dogs, cats to goats and chickens. She was very accommodating and allowed my sisters two dogs to join in on the fun on a last minute notice, so my sister was so appreciative as well. We would love to have Nancy house and animal sit for us again ☺️”

About: I used to take care of my grandparents dogs all the time and I loved every second of it and I would to continue doing so I’m currently unemployed so I will be free for when your fur babies will need me! Thank you all so much! I really appreciate it! I always make sure that my cats have toys to play with and have plenty of water and food and their litter is always clean.

About: I’ve had dogs for over ten years, cats my whole life, been pet sitting for 4 years, and even worked at a doggy daycare for six months. I have experience caring for animals for up to 2 weeks at a time and have cared for dogs, cats, and bunnies. I work at Wonder Universe, the children’s museum in Christiansburg, about 15 hours a week! Otherwise, nothing concrete is on my schedule, and I am happy to work with your needs. I love to get dogs outside for fetch and running loose. I’m happy to do walks whether for potty or just for exercise. I know that play and stimulation are crucial for animals. I’m also a big fan of keeping things tidy (within reason) so any accidental mess from your fur babies will be as if it never happened.

About: I don’t work during the week so I’m able to provide a lot more care and companionship to the animals that I care for. I also have been an animal lover since childhood. Ive been gifted with a job that only requires me to work weekends so I am very flexible. I can pretty much work with any schedule given prior notice. I have a large deck and fenced in yard for your animal to play with. It’s very quiet country living so no loud noise or busy traffic.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 12. I not only have had 2 dogs and 6 cats of my own, but have also been caring for the animals of my family friends and relatives. I have been a drop-in sitter, dog walker, overnight sitter, and helped with bath time. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, as I had both growing up and dog sat a 6 week old puppy who is now 3 (whom I still care for)! I look forward to helping you! I am a current college student and am currently working part time with flexible hours. I am looking to help families or individuals with home-drop ins, pet sitting, dog walking, etc. I currently do not have a set work schedule so I am very flexible for the time being but will be in touch if anything changes! I currently dog sit and do check-ins for relatives so I am willing to extend and help you out! I am unable to offer any services at my home but can and will do so at your home (if it includes pet-sitting) and have reliable transportation. I am fit for dog-walking as well and have experience with big dogs and little dogs. I have a regular feeding schedule for my cats and dogs and regularly play with my dogs outside and am happy to do the same with yours!
