“Heather always does a great job with our pup! Due to my ongoing changing schedule, I often reach out to her the night before I am in need of her service. She remains flexible with times and is great with communication!”
About: As someone who was raised on a fully functioning farm, animal husbandry has been a part of my daily routine since I could walk! I have experience with almost every domestic animal under the sun, but dogs and cats have always been very personal to me. I would love to extend my love for pets to you and your fur family by caring for them as I would my own. Caring for pets is my full time job! I am highly flexible and usually able to accommodate whatever you and your furbabies need. When house sitting, I will need to leave at least once a day to check in at my house, but otherwise your pets have my full attention. I want your pets to be safe and happy. I am willing to take on whatever routine you have established to make your time away as easy on your pets as possible. Safety and fun are my top priorities!
About: I’ve had dogs from childhood up to now as a college student. I had experience taking care of my second dog once he was a senior and needed extra care. And additional experience working with two vet clinics. Currently working on and off until June 22, when I will move to a full time job. Mostly free every day up until early evening until that date I can easily walk your dog anywhere you’d like me to for as short or long as needed. I’m always aware of surroundings and will always ensure safety of your dog. I will make sure to keep the dog entertained and safe if you’re looking for someone to look in on them. And if desired, will keep contact with you with updates. I am more than happy to look after your doggo!
About: I’ve taken care of a couple of dogs in this area while people are on holiday leave or vacations. I enjoy dogs so much! I always had dogs growing up around the house and they are truly a man’s best friend! I currently work full-time during the day with a hybrid type work schedule that allows me to work from home part of the time. I have availability in the evenings and mostly weekends to be able to pet sit! The precaution of using a leash and making sure I am aware of using that for every single walk is crucial for safety on walks. I want to be able to care for your home well and lock up every time I come and go. I would most definitely ask for specific requests for your animals such as feeding time, when they need to go out, how often for walks to your specific liking.
About: I have loved animals since I was a little girl. Having grown up around dogs of all sizes, I’m committed to taking the best care of your fur baby.

I live near a lot of trails and I love walking companions! I have one small dog who would absolutely love a play partner. I live in a very walkable location and my husband and I are constantly taking our dog for walks, another companion would be great!

About: With over 5 years of experience handling small to medium dogs, I've provided expert care through regular walks, feeding, grooming, and pet sitting for family friends. My passion for animals ensures they receive personal attention, comfort, and love, whether it's during daily routines or when they need a trusted sitter while their owners are away ! As a full-time graduate student, pet care fits into my routine by allowing me to balance my academic responsibilities with my love for walking outdoors. Since I’m new to Lynchburg, it’s a great way to explore the community while giving dogs the care and attention they need. I’m available evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends, with added flexibility on Wednesdays and Fridays, making it easy to adjust to your pet’s needs! I currently live in an apartment, which provides a great space to walk dogs outdoors. In the past, I've pet-sat in clients' homes, always respecting their space and following specific instructions to ensure their pets receive the best care. Although I don’t have any pets of my own after losing my dog two years ago, I approach each pet with the same love and attention I would for my own, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while in my care.
About: I have owned and taken care of many animals since I was young including exotic and livestock animals. I have experience with training two very different breeds of dogs, one currently still in training. I work with kids at a summer camp fulltime but between me and my fiance the pets are never alone for more than 4 hours. My weekends are fully open and that's usually when I go on more enriching activities such as hikes, lakes, ECT. My cats at home are allowed to free roam and usually keep to themselves but my dog stays mostly in her pen because she's still being house trained. My house is on the smaller side so best suited for small to medium dogs instead of large.

Anna D.
“Anna took such great care of my dog while I was away. She followed all the instructions perfectly, made sure my pup was well-fed, exercised, and loved, and even took extra time to make sure he felt comfortable and calm. I came home to a happy, healthy dog and couldn’t be more grateful. You can tell she truly cares! Highly recommend!”

“Celeste is a life saver. She jumped in when my normal walker had a kidney transplant.”
Mary M.
“Mary is such a sweet and loving person who loves all animals she meets! She is good at being attentive and I wouldn’t be worried about any animal not being okay in her care. She enjoys outdoor activities so things like walks wouldn’t be an issue! You couldn’t find anyone more accepting of all animal personalities and needs!”
Grace R.

Alexis K.
“I can’t say enough good things about Lexie! From the moment we connected, she was communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly professional. Most importantly—she took absolutely outstanding care of my dog. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates, photos, and even a few videos, which gave me complete peace of mind. My dog can be a little anxious in new environments, but Lexie treated her like family—patient, attentive, and full of love. When I picked up my pup, she was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s not easy to trust someone with your fur baby, but Lexie has earned my full trust and gratitude. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
Anna O.

Katevonni S.
“Katevonni has been a wonderful part of my families lives for many years, providing exceptional care for our family's pets. She’s always been flexible with her time and willing to step in on short notice, which has been such a relief. Every time our dogs saw her, their tails would start wagging with excitement—you could clearly see how happy they were to be around her. That kind of reaction told me everything I needed to know. When we’re not home, I have full confidence that our dogs are not just being looked after, but genuinely loved, played with, and cared for as if they were her own. That’s all we could ever ask for. I completely trust Katevonni in our home and with any future pet sitting. I hope others take a chance on her like we did so many years ago—because she’s more than just a pet sitter now, she’s become a family friend. She’s fantastic at what she does, and I know any pet in her care will receive nothing but the very best.”
Hannah R.
“Hannah doesn’t smoke and lives an active lifestyle. I’ve gone on many hikes with her and her dog. If your dog is active and needs adventure while you’re away, Hannah is your girl.”
