About: Hi! I have been dog sitting for 13 years, I worked at the pet spa for 1, and am excited to watch/walk your babies! Don’t be afraid to reach out! Availability fluctuates.. view my calendar as i update it frequently! They will follow their normal routine: walks, lets outs, eating and play time.. even cuddles if that is what they're familiar with! Can watch your baby at your house as our rental doesn’t allow animals, but in your home, they will be taken care of in the exact same way they are used to.

About: Hello! I'm Kennedy. I am 27 and I have been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was about 6. I am a pet-parent to 2 cats and a dog. I got my first very own cat 11 years ago and rescued a 4 week old kitten off the street about 3 years ago and have been raising them with my 5 year old husky. I grew up raising farm animals, dogs, and indoor/outdoor cats. I have experience with bigger dogs as my parents have a bernese mountain dog and a yellow lab. I love working with cats and dogs and being able to see each of their individual personalities is my favorite part of meeting new animals. I have my own transportation and I also do not smoke or drink. This is my only job so I will have plenty of time to give your fur babies the very best care! I am available any day of the week. I will keep a close eye on your pets while I am with them and dogs will be kept on leash while on walks. Please let me know of any special care requirements your pet may have.

About: Time and time again, family, friends, and clients have trusted me with their most prized paw-ssessions! I have extensive experience with dogs, cats, and chickens, though I am a quick learner and would love to learn how to care for any of your animals! Currently, I’m dedicating my time for jobs to Rover! This means that I’m available pretty much 24/7 and my time is extremely flexible! Always feel free to message me to see if we can work something out. When I’m caring for your pet(s), their safety and happiness, as well as your peace of mind, is my top priority! From the high energy, anxious chihuahua to the low energy, sleepy pit bull, I’ve worked with all types and will care for your pets based on their personality!

Hello! I'm Victoria and I often travel with the best travel partner I've found yet, Rae. I travel frequently and am available for extended sits as needed.

I take work with me and also additionally do gig work (i.e. grocery deliveries) if time permits while traveling. In time off from work, if not spending time with family or animals, we love to cook, find hidden gem restaurants/food trucks, explore in nature, long camping trips (we just took a 9000 mile, 2 month camping trip this year in April), projects on various older vehicles, attend concerts/festivals, or many other different events that a town/city may have to offer! We love to meet new people and pets and explore new areas... or frequent favorited locations! We often miss the love of animals while on the road. So, house and pet sitting is perfect!

“Very friendly easy to communicate with, and efficient!”


About: Mature animal friendly companion, to visit, feed and exercise with your family members. Gentle voice & manners help with your pet’s adjustment to a new visitor. I have always lived with my animals. Even during full time career. I am familiar with their behavior and routines. I’m reliable with their care. My animals are used to being inside the house. I have a large back yard, and quiet street, without traffic. Cabled run and leached walking preferred.

About: I’ve grown up with pets at home for the last 17 years. My extended family all have had dogs my entire life varying from Rottweilers, dachshunds, German shepherds and yorkies. I’ve walked, dog sat, bathed, taken care of for both short and extended periods of time for family and friends for about 10 years. I’ve recently moved to Virginia with some family and although not “technically” mine, currently with an extra 4 Maltese and 1 mastiff I set my own hours with my day job. Because of that, I set the same hours on a weekly basis to minimize any confusion. My parents currently have a dog who is very anxious and easily scared so from my personal experience, I’m great with making sure a dog feels more than comfortable with me. I allow them to sniff my hand and/or anything else including shoes, pants, shirt, whatever they need to feel comfortable. Trust with a dog is built over time and I will never force you for baby to go with me if they don’t feel safe.

Angela D.
“Angela is awesome!! I live with my father and sister, and we had a great big farm dog, named Cookie. Life has caught up to the family, so we haven't had as much time to tend to the dog. When we got Angela to help take care of Cookie, she went above and beyond. Not only did she feed and walk her, but she gave her food and played with her as well. Angela is a very caring, playful, and loving person, and even more so when it comes to her love for animals! My family was trying to get rid of Cookie because we could no longer afford the expenses, sadly. When we told Angela, she took it upon herself to find Cookie a wonderful home among the community, and even took Cookie away for us. If me or my family ever gets animals again, Angela will surely be the first person we will reach out to!”

Dawn G.Star Sitter
“Dawn is an amazing, caring, loving person. When she cared for my pup Mocha, I could see in their initial reaction with each other during our meet and greet, just how amazing, patient, and a true animal lover she is. Dawn puts the pups first, and made Mocha feel right at home. She always provided pictures and updates on how Mocha was doing, this of course gave me peace of mind knowing Mocha was having a good time. When Mocha came home she was happy and tired, I would absolutely without question be using Dawn again for my Mocha, and have already recommended her to everyone I know :) Thank you again for taking such good care of Mocha and also for taking the extra time making sure Mocha would eat, which is no easy task I know! lol”
