Samantha was great without pups, even our Dane who likes to bark loudly and constantly when new sitters come through the door. She was timely, provided great pics, and paid great attention to our instructions.

About: I am a total mush for dogs. I've taken care of dogs of all kinds and sizes since I was a teenager. I will treat your dog and love them like I do my own. I work from home, so they will not be left alone. Since I will be home, I also will have plenty of time for walks and cuddles. I have a fenced in yard as well as live beside a dog park. I have one dog myself, so your dog will also have a friend to play with. I am able to crate a dog if that is the ask as well.

About: I have three fur babies, golden retriever x2, and a blue heeler mix. Having animals is such pure joy. The dogs run the home, I just live here! Dog hair and slobbery kisses … I wouldn’t want it any different. My fur babies are happy and very generous to other animals. We have fun here. So bring your dog over, let them jump on the couch, and play with my pups! I work part time, but have a very flexible schedule. I have two boys at home that would give your pups all the love they need. I have a small fenced in yard for your pups. We enjoy talking walks, and playing fetch. My fur babies are the sweetest things and will get along with your pups!

About: Hello thank you for visiting my profile! I am a friendly and responsible woman who works full time as an Uber driver so I am able to work with any timetable you need while I am in town. I fly to Germany every other month or 2 and my calendar will reflect when I am going to be out of town. Ich spreche ein bisschen deutch + hablo un poco Español. Background: I grew up in a house full of dogs and cats and also on a farm with farm animals (child of divorce). I now have my big baby Hera (10 y/o mastiff lab mix) who is spoiled beyond words. I have also spent time volunteering at the SW VA Wildlife Rescue so I have experience working with non traditional pets and hand nursing. I have helped birth and look after 11 healthy german shepard puppies (including 24/7 care)! Please contact me if you have any questions and I look forward to caring for your precious animals! I am extremely flexible to fit your schedule! I am a self employed Uber driver and set my own hours. I fly to Germany every month or 2 and my calendar will reflect that. Your pets will be treated with love and respect! I will follow all instructions given and cater to each unique animal as needed. When house sitting I am very attentive to locking up and making sure doors are latched securely. I have experience with difficult doors and your pet's safety is my top priority!

About: I have been around all kind of pets since I was 6 and I am good with getting them up and playing and making sure they move and get exercise! I am currently on the hunt for a job as I just moved to Virginia but I can always work around my schedule to get people the pet care they need In my clients home, I will follow the rules they have set in stone and the way they want things done with their pets as everyone is different about how they would like things done.

About: I treat every pet like family — with love, patience, and respect. I understand that animals have their own personalities, needs, and emotions, and I always aim to make them feel safe and cared for in my presence. What truly sets me apart is my hands-on experience. I’ve worked as a Veterinary Assistant, giving me knowledge of animal health, behavior, and emergency care. Before that, I was a doggy daycare assistant, caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve also raised my own pets for over five years, so I know the day-to-day joys and challenges of being a pet parent. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a shy senior, or needs special attention, I’m confident in my ability to provide calm, loving, and reliable care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule because it's something I genuinely love doing — and it aligns with my future goals. As a part-time student and part-time worker at an animal medical center, I’m constantly learning and growing in the field of veterinary medicine. My ultimate goal is to attend vet school and earn my DVM. Every opportunity to work with animals, whether it’s through pet sitting or walking, helps me gain the hands-on experience I need while also allowing me to earn extra income to support my journey. Balancing school, work, and pet care is a natural fit for me because I’m passionate about animals, and I know that every step I take brings me closer to my dream of becoming a veterinarian. At my home, I treat my pets like family, with a routine that includes scheduled playtimes, outdoor adventures, and plenty of TLC. My cats especially love lounging in the sun and enjoying the fresh air, so I make sure they have ample outdoor time to soak up the sunshine and explore. When caring for your pet, I take the same approach — ensuring they’re happy, comfortable, and engaged. Whether that means giving them a long walk, showering them with belly scratches, or playing fetch until they're out of breath, I’m committed to making sure they feel loved and well cared for while you're away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priority.

I have known Gussie a near decade now and know of her up bringing in a house full of dogs and cats. She is very comfortable with all size dogs and even prefers larger breeds while other walkers may shy away from. She has experience out of Charlottesville assisting with pet care and walks with a previous privately owned pet care company. I have personally used her for cat care for years and can confirm her volunteer work with angels of Assisi located here in Roanoke.

Mckayla grew up with pets the whole time I knew her. I would always go over to her house and she would just be playing and taking care of her little dogs and everytime we were out and she saw a dog she couldn't resist to ask to pet. She is good with pets and other animals and I think this is a perfect job for her!

Lisa-Marie is one of the best animal caretakers I’ve ever seen! She works at a Veterinary Office so she knows her stuff, cares deeply about animals, and knows how to handle them if they need any special treatment or medication. She has taken care of my pets in the past and they always love seeing her and spending time with her, it’s like they don’t even care when I leave. Overall, she’s the best pet caregiver you could ask for, 5 stars.
