About: I've been taking care of family, friends, and neighbors animals since I was little. I've been working and volunteering at a local animal rescue for almost two years, and am comfortable and familiar with dogs of any kind, age, temperament, and more! I'm not afraid to clean up or play with a dog with energy, I've seen it all and have experience with hundreds of dogs! I am student at Virginia Tech, so coming home over the summer leaves me totally free! I'm eager to have something to fill my time, especially if it's checking in on a puppy every few hours, or getting me active while I'm on break. I have so much experience with maintaining a dogs environment and health, and can predict dogs needs based on behavior from my time working with them! I have worked with service dogs, special needs dogs, elderly dogs, almost newborn puppies, and more. Each dog is different and I love learning their needs and patterns over time.

About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, and I'm surrounded by them every day. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, rats and more. Every dog I've owned has been personally trained by me, giving me hands-on experience with behavior, structure, and individualized care. I live on a small farm and work from home, so I'm available throughout the day for animal's needs. Caring for horses, dogs, and cats is already a part of my daily routine, making pet care a natural part of my lifestyle. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs that can provide companionship for social dogs. I'm experienced in safely managing separate spaces if a dog prefers to be alone of is not dog-friendly, ensuring every pet gets plenty of personalized care, attention, and outdoor time.

“Stephanie is a reliable and super responsible dog sitter. We had to leave our dog for a week and knowing our dog was in the care of Stephanie really put us to ease. We are so grateful to her!”

“Fantastic care for unusual animals. Amanda was so diligent with the feeding needs of my turtle. She even volunteered a lettuce leaf as a snack. She took great care of the fish without overfeeding and provided medical care for one of them. Then she very kindly agreed to water my plants. Pictures and videos everyday. Lots of communication. I will absolutely use her again and you should too. If she does this well with a turtle, imagine how great you'll be with your cats and dogs.”

“I cannot express how grateful and delighted I am to have found Ioanna as my dog walker! From day one, she has gone above and beyond in taking care of my beloved fur baby. And a quiet recently added fur baby. Every time Waffles and Rain goes out with Ioanna, they come back happy and content, clearly having had a wonderful time on their adventures. What truly sets her apart is the genuine love and affection displayed towards my pups and the attention to detail in her service. During days of care, Ioanna ensured that Waffles and Rain always had plenty of water and a comfortable, place to rest. On rainy days, we could always count on high spirits and excellent care, never once cancelling due to weather. Moreover, her flexibility and reliability are commendable, accommodating any last-minute schedule changes with a smile. In addition to providing outstanding walks, Ioanna goes the extra mile, sending updates and adorable pictures from the walk and fun times during visits, which always brighten my day. It's comforting to know my pups are in such capable and caring hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Ioanna to anyone in need of a trustworthy and exceptional dog walker. Thanks to her, not only are Waffles and Rain healthier and happier, but we have found peace of mind knowing they’re in such wonderful care. Thank you, Ioanna, for being such a fantastic and compassionate friend to my beloved pups. I’m so lucky to have you!”

I used to watch my family members pets when they would go away and feed them per special instructions and stayed with them as long as I could so they were never lonely. I work full time now but I make my own schedule! I'll be able to be reliable and work around the needs of anyone's babies! In my clients home I always have respect and take care of not only the pets but the home and property when I'm there always.

I also have experience pet sitting for family and friends, including taking dogs on walks, doing daily check-ins, and providing overnight care. As a college student home for summer break, I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m able to easily work around my daily responsibilities to provide reliable care, walks, check-ins, and companionship for pets throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they stay comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. During walks and check-ins, I provide pets with attention, exercise, fresh water, feeding if needed, and plenty of care and companionship. I also make sure owners stay updated and feel confident that their pets are safe and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I bring years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments—including puppies, high-energy dogs, senior pets, and shy or special-needs cats. I’m comfortable with administering medications (oral, topical, and injections), caring for pets with anxiety, and supporting senior animals with mobility issues or extra comfort needs. What sets me apart is my calm, attentive nature and my ability to quickly bond with animals. I tailor each visit to fit your pet’s unique personality—whether that means structured play and training for a puppy, slow walks and joint care for a senior dog, or quiet companionship for a sensitive cat. I’m also a bit of a neat freak, so I make sure litter boxes, food bowls, and pet spaces stay fresh and clean.

I prioritize consistency and create a calm, familiar environment for each pet, making sure they feel secure even when their humans are away. Whether it’s a short visit or an extended stay, I’m fully present and committed to giving your pets the care and attention they deserve every single day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety, trust, and respect are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions to the letter, from feeding schedules and medication needs to favorite toys and hiding spots. I make sure doors, windows, and food storage are secure, and I’m mindful of any hazards specific to your home or your pets behavior. I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own—clean, tidy, and exactly as you left it. I also provide regular updates with photos or messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and in loving hands.

“Jen and Cameron were wonderful with Annie and the bunnies. They took the time to come meet and get acquainted twice so that Annie was comfortable with them. They followed our instructions and kept in touch several times a day. They treated our girls like their own pets. Thank you Jen and Cameron for everything.”

“We had a great experience with James! He was punctual, responsive, and did an amazing job with our dog, Kody. Kody is a big, energetic dog and not always the easiest to handle, but James handled him confidently and with care. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing Kody was in good hands. Highly recommend James and would absolutely book with him again!”

About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life and bring a calm, attentive, and personalized approach to every animal I watch.

My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and truly at home.

I keep a consistent schedule with potty breaks, meals, playtime, and rest, making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I’m only away briefly once a week, and I always plan around that to make sure pets are still well taken care of.

About: I am a public school teacher so I am available Monday-Friday after 3pm and weekends/holidays. I have loved animals since I was a small child and have owned dogs and cats ever since. I have experience taking care of older animals and giving medications and special dietary restrictions. Pets are our family and I will treat all animals with the love and care they deserve since they give us humans more than we could ever hope for. I will send you pictures/videos if you are missing your pets and keep in close contact via text with updates as well. I have always wanted to help animals and I thought this is a good way to start! All of my fur babies are rescue animals and if we could we would adopt them all! I look forward to lending a paw to you and your fur babies! I am a school teacher so I am mainly available weekdays after 3:00pm and all day most weekends. I am also available during school breaks/vacations such as December break, February break and very available in the summer months July and August. We have a fenced in yard on an acre of property and a dog who loves to play with other dogs. We have plenty of outside toys for enrichment too! My husband and I both work full time jobs and are currently available for drop-ins and dog walking services. I am a teacher and am available most days after 3:00pm Monday-Friday and am more available on the weekends. Once we buy a house we are hoping to upgrade our services to be boarding services in our home. Once we buy a house, we are hoping to offer boarding services where we can host your pets in our home. We have one dog and two cats currently. We would keep the dogs and cats separated from each other and make sure to have a meet and greet with the dogs so that we know they will play well and get along well beforehand. I am a public school teacher. My availability is Monday-Friday after 3pm and weekends/holidays. Send me a message and I’ll see what I can do! I believe play time is important for pets. I’d love to throw a tennis ball for your dog or twirl a mouse on a stick for your cats in addition to the usual feeding them, letting them out to use the bathroom.

“We use Jerol & Jeffrey for drop-in visits and Jerol has taken great care of our pup. He is reliable and makes sure she is happy and gets plenty of exercise. He is also very knowledgeable and experienced and we know she is in great hands when he’s caring for her. We highly recommend!”
