About: I take time to understand each dog’s personality, energy level, and specific needs. Whether that means structured playtime for high-energy pups or quiet companionship for seniors, I adapt to them. I prioritize safety, communication, and providing updates so you always feel confident your dog is in loving, capable hands I work full-time, but I maintain a consistent daily routine that allows me to provide dependable pet care. I’m available for morning and evening walks, feedings, and quality time, and I make sure pets receive attention, exercise, and affection before and after work. On weekends, I have more flexibility for extended walks, playtime, and extra care When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both your space and your pet’s established routine. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk routes, medication needs, and house rules. I keep doors secured, monitor surroundings on walks, and ensure pets are always safely leashed or supervised. My goal is to maintain a calm, familiar environment so your pet experiences minimal disruption while you’re gone

Lindsey was great with our girls and cat. She communicated with us daily when she was leaving the house and getting home. She sent photos and kept us updated on how the dogs and cat were doing. It put us at ease knowing they were being taken care of. We will definitely be using her again.

I have a full time job, and schedule changes every week. Im often working evenings, so mornings are most open for me. Although I am flexible, and able, to move my schedule around.

Meredith was a good match for my animals! She was on time and responsive. Since my cat has some medical concerns, it eased my mind having someone with experience look over him!

Matt did a great job of taking care of our home, plants and dogs. He kept me informed of how the dogs were doing and sent pictures. He actually came by one more time following the initial meeting to go over meds, etc. The house looked great when we got home and the plants and dogs thrived.

About: I love dogs and always have. I have always had pets. We had three dogs when I was growing up and they were so much fun. I love playing with them. The dogs I had growing up were my “best friends”. When I lived in va beach I used to dog sit and house sit 2-3 times a week. I will take care of your dogs as if they were my own. I will take them out for walks let them get some exercise and ensure that they have food and water. I have done overnight sitting as well as pop ins where I have just walked and fed them. I’m available any day of the week. I look forward to working with you and your fur babies.

I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received while I was away! Jamie went above and beyond to ensure my dogs felt comfortable, safe, and loved throughout her stay. Sparky is an elderly guy, but Jamie kept him in his routine, which helped so much. I highly recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional dog sitter. Thank you for giving me peace of mind and treating my dogs like your own!

About: I grew up around dogs working at a grooming shop and love animals! My children are older. They are 21 and 18 and loves animals as well! I do wfh. I’m available during the week and weekends as well. I do have a Pom-a-Poo, Brooklyn and a cat, Milo. They are sweet and loving! I enjoy on nice days taking dogs to the dog park, walks on trails, or through my neighborhood. I do not have a fenced in yard but will take them outside on a leash frequently. I have dog sat for friends and family numerous of times so thought I’d expand and help other people so they feel like their beloved animal is taken care of and in good hands while they are away! I have plenty of time to play with your pups and available pretty much 7 days a week! During the day someone is generally always home. I have a fenced in yard. I also ask if your dog is crated to bring your crate as well. I feed them on the schedule you provide and walks as well I am currently working from home and available to maintain any schedule or routine as needed to ensure dog/puppy day to day in minimally disrupted I have a fenced in yard and make sure I do not leave out items they can get into or harmful to ensure their safety
