“Very Responsive!”

About: Some of my pet experience includes bathing dogs, taking care of dogs for friends, having my own dog who i care for, and loving all animals. I’ve trained my dog to for certain commands which i believe is very helpful. All my friends come to me when they need someone to take care of their fur babies! I am a college student with a work load, however no job. A lot of my days are spent in my home doing homework and pet care fits into my schedule because I can always be there to play and take you pets out. I don’t have very long classes either or in a big stretch so your pay would be cared for almost 24/7 I care for pets as if they were my children haha! In my home, I have bowls, treats, and toys for your pets. In your home, I would respect the space and take care of your pet as if it were my own.

“Sarah was great, she dropped in to take care of our pets while we were out of town. Our pets immediately took to her and clearly had a good time.”

“Julia was the best pet sitter we could have asked for! My cat is 13 years old and I was nervous leaving her for a week after spending every second with her over covid. Julia always sent a picture or video and updated me on how she was doing, which made me feel so comfortable! Watching the videos I could tell how much attention Julia put into her stay as my cat definitely grew to love her. I most definitely recommend Julia while you’re away, she is both caring and responsible for your pets.”

About: Hello! My name is Hayley and I am an animal lover of all kinds. I had a chihuahua for 14.5 years until I had to say goodbye to him in august of 2024. Since then I have found joy in helping others take care of their furry family members. My Pedro was special needs so I am comfortable giving meds or helping with disabled animals as well. I promise to take care of your babies just like they are my own! Same day bookings and short notice bookings will be dependent on my full time work schedule as I work 3 twelve hour night shifts a week but please always reach out as I may be available! I am also willing to pet sitting for other animals like chickens, hedgehogs, etc. Just ask!! I am a full time night shift nurse so my schedule is crazy but allows me to spend the days with your pet. I am also able to get several days in a row off and spend 24/7 with your pet, if scheduled within enough time! If selected, I would treat your baby as if they are my own and would go above abd beyond in caring for them. I am unable to bring pets to my home but am more than happy to care for them in the comfort of their own homes.

About: I have owned dogs most of my life. Right now, I own a senior mini Aussie. I would love to help care for you fur baby. I am a stay at home mom to 3 teenagers. I have a very flexible schedule and able to meet the needs of your pet. I am very active so I can walk/jog with your dog if needed, or just play fetch with your dog. I am very comfortable around most dog breeds, big and small.

“Carley was wonderful! She was very personable and engaged right away with Charlie, our cat. She kept us updated and sent pictures. I would highly recommend her! We left her a tip at our house. Pat Shoemaker”

“Sophia checked on my cats while I was traveling. She made sure they had food and water, kept the litter box clean, and provided them with company while I was away. Sophia was very conscientious and caring with my cats, and I recommend booking her!”

“Kennedy is the absolute best! She sent a ton of pictures and videos of the pups while we were gone and even clipped my bigger dog’s nails for us! She’s so sweet and I could rest easy knowing my dogs were being so cared for while we were away.”

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 also have worked at a dog daycare called tail chasers so I have experience with big dog groups. I’m good with cats as well . 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 .

“Abby was so great with our puppy, Ferris! It can be stressful trusting someone else with your pets for the first time but we had no worries after meeting Abby! She's professional, friendly and Ferris took to her immediately. She even sent us pictures and an update. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I’ve owned a black Labrador(Anna) for over 13 years, she has not once had any sort of health issue as I’ve feed her well, and kept her up to date on vet visits. I’m caring, compassionate, and smart and versatile enough to be calm in any situation that may arise. I assure you that I will treat your pet as if it were my own. This allows me the freedom to stay focused on your pet and be there when other folks have to leave. If a situation ever does arrive my strength are communication so you can rest assured I will be in constant contact, which as a pet owner for an older girl myself id expect from others if I left her in their care. If the pet requires adequate exercise I have no problem going on a long walk with them and the space is pet friendly as my dog (Anna) is there. In your home, I can assure you that my experience will allow me to provide the best care for your loved ones.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and truly love being around them. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, walking, and providing lots of attention and playtime. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work primarily in EMS, so my schedule changes frequently but I have many days off a week and am flexible. My shifts are usually 12-24 hours long, so I won’t be able to do anything on the days I work. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With 8 years of experience caring for dogs, I make sure every pet is in a secure, clean, and stress-free environment. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions, maintain their dog’s routine, and keep the space tidy and safe. I’m attentive on walks, use secure leashing practices, and stay aware of surroundings at all times. If caring for pets in my home, I ensure a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, safe spaces to rest, and regular potty breaks. I keep harmful items out of reach and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of different breeds and sizes since I was 17. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and administer medications to their pets. I will ensure that the pet keeps their routine to the best of my ability if applicable. I always try to ensure the pet gets a walk at least once a day when I am watching them. I consider myself to be very patient and creative when working with pets. I work full-time but would be able to make home visits before work and any time after work. If your pet needs more visits during the day we can discuss our options. To ensure safety on walks I am very responsible to make sure your fur baby is leashed up before exiting the home or fenced area for walks around the neighborhood. When in a clients home I will ensure your fur babies safety by leashing up your dog in the home before going on walks and following your guidelines as requested. If any questions come up I will be calling or texting to ensure all requests are met in an appropriate manner.

“Tilly has always been amazing with my two pupa (who can often be a handful)! She is very loving with them and always provides a very detailed report with lots of amazing pictures to tide me over while I'm away from them. The boys absolutely love her, and we couldn't recommend her more!”

About: I’ve had dogs of my own for the last four years (both raised as puppies) and love taking care of them. I’m convinced if you can raise a puppy you can do anything haha. I work full time and my hours are fairly flexible - I’m more likely to be available to walk dogs after 5 pm during the week and can host dogs just about anytime! Our black lab/German shepherd mix & German shepherd love having dog friends over and we have a fenced in yard as well. We prefer having dogs that are friendly and able to play with our two dogs, but we are also able to separate them in a crate if needed. Happy to help you however I can! Feel free to message me if you have any questions! Can’t wait to meet your pup! Currently working full time in Blacksburg. Can sometime let dogs out during lunch but inconsistently. More likely to walk after 5 pm during the week and can host just about anytime. Have a fenced in yard! Happy to take out on leash for walks as well. We make sure to pick up after our dogs frequently and give them more than enough potty breaks.

About: I have grown up with many dogs and I volunteer at my local shelter walking dogs now so I really love being with all dogs! I work full time but I have some flexibility during the days here and there and I am free all evenings throughout the week and all weekends I provide individualized care and attention for each pet. If I can tell a pet wants to be alone, I will let them do their thing. If they want to play, I will play with them. I will read the dog and cater to what they want to do!
