About: I've had many years of experience between keeping my own animals as well as house sitting or just dropping in to check on your pets! I also offer the same service for reptiles! Preferably would like to service closer to Wytheville but will travel in some cases, extra fees will apply depending on distance! I currently have a full time job but I am looking to quit so I can focus on doing nails and going to school part time for that but I need a side hustle! I live in a school bus so I don't really have tons of room to take care of pets there but I am more than willing to come to their homes, I'd prefer that the pet is comfortable as possible and I cannot stay overnight in a home but I can stay as long as needed to make sure the care requirements are met

Lisa D.
“Lisa has stayed with our babies several times and we have always been impressed with her. She had an immediate connection with our two shih tzus. They love her and get excited every time she arrives. After she leaves they look for her. Lisa is honest, loyal, funny. It didn’t take long for all of us to become friends. She even helps with my pet sitting business when I’m out of town. She is responsible and we trust her with our two most precious possessions.... and our home.”
Madison T.
“Madison was the absolute best person to watch over my 15 year old Great Dane, Huxley. He has very specific medications that has to be taken at a certain time and she met each time with him just perfectly. I’ve used Madison for the last year and a half and she never fails to be an amazing dog sitter! Huxley loves to go on walks and be interacted with. She is very gentle with him. Huxley was hit by a car a few years back and is missing hit leg and requires great attention when he’s around the house. With Madison’s awareness, I would check in over my PetCam and I would see her and she was just phenomenal. Huxley is always so sad for when she leaves. I recommend Madison to anyone who needs their animal watched for a day or even a week. She is great! Very friendly, professional, and takes special care of your cuddly pets.”
Treama M.
“She does a fantastic job watching dogs. She loves each one like her own, giving them lots of care and love. Sends pictures upon request ❤️”
