About: From energetic labs to more lethargic Bichon's, I've cared for a wide variety of dogs in the short time I've been in the dog sitting game. Whether it be just a simple walk for a mile or so, to bathing, many of the closest people around me have looked to me when they needed their pet cared for. Though I've only "pet sat" for about a year now, my family has been blessed to have been able to have 4 dogs in my lifetime (with our current being my yorkie bichon King Zeus), with everyone of them adding experience to a different aspect of what it means to correctly care for a pet. I'm a part-time employee at a pizza place, so most days there is plenty of time for me to spend time with any dog staying with me! I see every pet that I care for as if it's my very own, meaning I'm am willing to go the extra mile to ensure that not only the pet is as comfortable as they can be, but also their owner can entrust them in my care knowing that their little baby will be safe. In terms of the living area in my house, it's very pet friendly with wide spaces and a VERY big backyard so that pets can play to their heart's content.

“Breanna had the unfortunate duty of cleaning up a shattered glass vase one of my dogs knocked over when Breanna arrived. I appreciate her reaching out to me right away to let me know, and to also reassure me that neither dog (or she fortunately) was injured. She cleaned up the mess thoroughly, which was necessary to prevent injuries but also above and beyond. I also appreciate her continued patience with my two young and dogs. I know they are A LOT when she opens the front door. I'm really pleased to have found Breanna to take my dogs for recurring walks while I'm working. I look forward to her developing a bond with my crazy noodleheads. Highly recommended! 🥇”

About: I have had dogs since I can remember! I haven’t had my own dog for 5 years now, but have watched many of my friends animals! I love training them, taking care and watching them. I have watched many dogs with multiple different personalities! I am super active so I love to play with them and take them on walks or to parks. Whatever the dogs needs are, I am open to learning and helping out the best way I can! I am currently job hunting and just finished school, so my schedule is super available and I am very flexible! Whatever your needs are I can work around that! Depending on the needs of your dog and the owner, I am super adaptable based off your wishes. It is a priority to me that the treatment and training of your dog is what you are comfortable with!

“Best dog walker that I have had so far!! 10/10. Highly recommend!”

I am currently on veterans disability so I can focus my whole day to your furry friend. No worry about being stuck in all day. I have 5 acres of yard for them to play on. I have lots of space if needed, room for crates, room outside. Plenty of space so your furry friend won't feel trapped. My animals mind their own.

About: I'm person that does the work and listen to the animals too. I worked with military working dogs. Have raised my own, I even sucker for the abandon ones too. My life has been learning how to groom, including nails, medicines and how to feed certain dogs due to there digestive track. I can mend, cuddle and play with all type.but snakes sorry I can't do that. My soon to be husband also loves animals such as I do because they also help with mental health. Emotional support and therapy dogs are a real thing and they do help. Just like the little young lady that found last months wonder the roads of Amelia County covered fleas and ticks and no tags or nothing she now how's her forever home . Just ever day thing for more I come home ever 2 to 3 hours to let mine out. DUE to the current job I currently have once this jobs takes off my plan is.to do this full time for all animals. We have fenced in back yard with 3 acrea with it in the middle of the Amelia that has been forgotten about. I retired military and retired law enforcement looking to find something better that what I currently doing. Animals and kids make me happy and they would have a forever ever home with me. Plus my family loves animals too. If the our place did work out the have 100 to play on for the day too. My husband is sucker for all types of animals too.

About: My love for animals (Especially dogs) started at a very young age and only progressed as I got older. I grew up learning how to care for many different animals including chickens, Bunnies, Dogs & Cats. Since living on my own I’ve cared for many dogs from Chihuahua’s to Pit bull’s to Great Danes. I have 2 sweet fur babies of my own; Chanel is a Bully-Pitbull mix who is 2 years old. And Vera who is a Petite golden doodle who has just turned 1. Both of my dogs are very sweet & have the best personalities to make your dog feel safe & at home. I’ve also taken care of dogs with dog/people Aggression so I am no stranger to handling serious situations. My sister is a Vet-Tech and has taught me many important things when it comes to taking care of pets including medically. I can’t wait to meet your babies & love them as much as my own!! I only accept dog care when I’m a able to be home with them! If any other circumstances were to arise I would discuss with you before booking to make sure you’re ok with the care your dog will receive! I will always treat animals with love & patience. Dogs will be kept inside of the home unless being taken out for a potty break or play time. All Dogs are allowed on furniture in my house unless Owner Request Otherwise. I also own a Very LARGE crate & a small one for dogs who’s owners prefer them to be kenneled or kennel trained.

“Very attentive !!! Highly recommend”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to connect with animals of all kinds — and truly care for each one like they’re my own. Whether it’s a high-energy dog, a cuddly cat, a curious bunny, or a shy senior pet, I meet them where they are and tailor my care to their needs. I have hands-on experience with: • Dogs of all ages, from puppies learning routines to seniors needing gentle walks and meds • Cats, including playtime, litter box care, and giving them space or snuggles based on their vibe • Small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs, with attention to diet, enclosure cleaning, and enrichment • A calm, observant approach for anxious or nervous pets • Consistent routines, affection, and enrichment that help animals feel safe and loved I’m also big on communication — you’ll get regular updates, cute photos, and real-time peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I build my schedule around making sure animals get the time, attention, and consistency they deserve — whether that’s morning walks, midday play breaks, or evening check-ins and cuddles. Because I work a flexible job, I’m able to prioritize pet care throughout the week. That means I’m available for everything from quick potty breaks to overnight stays — and I never rush. I treat every visit like quality time, not just a task to check off. Animals thrive with routine, and so do I — so you can trust that your pet will get reliable, loving care day in and day out. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on three things: comfort, consistency, and clear communication. I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine — feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and downtime — so they feel safe and at ease while you’re away. Here’s what you can expect from me: • Respectful presence — I treat your home with the same care I’d want for my own • Routine-focused care — I stick to your pet’s daily habits as closely as possible • Cleanliness — I clean up after pets, tidy feeding areas, and make sure everything is left as I found it (or better!) • Plenty of love and attention — Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or space, I adjust to what makes them happiest • Updates for peace of mind — I send regular texts, photos, and any little updates to keep you in the loop Whether it’s daily drop-ins or overnight stays, my goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and your home feel cared for.

About: I am a dog lover, I have been taking care of dogs of many kinds for the past 5 years. I will be very loving and caring towards your dogs. I will play with your dog and do whatever instructions needed. I am currently studying abroad in Florence Italy and won’t be able to dog sit until June 9th. I am looking for something that is regular but can also do drop in visits. I will put your dog on a leash when going on walks and can crate your dog if needed. I will keep an eye on your pet at all times.

About: I have cared for/worked with 1,000s of dogs over 10+ years across all breeds, ages, and behavioral issues. I managed a dog facility for several years, have worked in multiple other dog facilities. I have taken K9 CPR/First Aid and very knowledgeable on K9 behavior and physical well being. I have trained 100s of dogs in my lifetime. Your dog could not be in better hands. :) I stay home full time so your pet would have 100% of my time and attention! I can be flexible to you and your pets needs! I have very friendly dogs to keep your pup company! If your dog isn’t much of a playful type - that’s okay too! My dogs do not harass and have great social manners. I have a crate I can offer at your request and I am very experienced with dog safety and K9 cpr. When going on walks I ALWAYS check the dogs collar and leash before leaving the house to be sure everything is appropriately secure. I always make sure I watch any dogs before I open doors to be sure no one runs out! My experience with K9 behavior allows me to catch a bad thing before it happens!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long I can remember! I’ve had everything from dogs, chickens, ducks, fish, hermit crabs, even hedgehogs! I would love to spend some time taking your babies for a walk or to play at the park! I’m available Monday-Friday from 9am-2pm. I can make weekends work, if needed. Please reach out with any questions you may have about scheduling or specific needs for your pet. I have a very well loved goldendoodle named 18,000 (yes, I’m serious)! He is the best companion and friend to our 3 kids! His favorite things are peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, marshmallows and the snow.

“Heather has done a midday walk, an evening feeding and evening walk for us. She was flexible when I needed to make changes, always showed up on time and sent photos and notes about her time with our dog. And he loves her! I will definitely have her help us out again!”

About: While I grew up with dogs throughout my adolescence, I also have years of experience working as a pet sitter and dog walker. I spent years working at a dog daycare and veterinary clinic as a technician, and prior to that was working as a pet sitter in community. I have always had a passion and immense love for animals , and deeply enjoy being able to take on work that allows me to spend time with them. My own dog, Kaia (the Golden Retriever puppy pictured), means the world to me so I know first hand how nerve wracking it can be to leave your dog in the care of someone else. I will provide your dog with patience, kindness, compassion, and fun, and hopefully be able to ease some of those worries! I have a very flexible schedule with a lot of free time that allows me to prioritize Rover. I can usually work around your schedule to walk your pup whenever needed! Growing up around dogs & having worked with them, I feel I have a good understanding of safety and the precautions necessary to ensure it. I am very patient and understand that each dog is unique and will have its own individual traits and needs. Working with dogs is such a passion of mine which allows me to bring lots of enthusiasm and joy into the job. Because of my own dog I will not be offering pet-sitting services in my own home, but am excited to offer walking services and pet sitting in the client’s home.
