“I am thrilled to share my heartfelt appreciation for Lourdes Rhodes, my exceptional neighbor and go-to pet sitter. Lourdes has been a lifeline for me and my furry family members on numerous occasions, and I am confident that she would provide safe, loving care and outstanding customer service for anyone seeking a trustworthy pet caregiver. Beyond her role as a pet sitter, Lourdes is simply an awesome human being. Her kindness, warmth, and compassion extend not only to animals but also to the people around her. She's not just a neighbor; she's become a trusted friend, someone I can rely on for support and companionship.”

About: I have decades of animal care experience, working with cats, dogs, and multiple other species. I currently own and operate a rabbitry. I have worked at multiple dog kennels, including free run facilities, and have worked at the SPCA and the Virginia zoo in Norfolk, Virginia. Let me know what your needs are, and we will see if I can accommodate your needs, as my schedule is very open and flexible. My pet care is very custom tailored to your needs and your pet’s needs, let me know what you need and what your pet prefers. I have 4 dogs that stay exclusively in the back part of the home and have access to the backyard. Doggies I am sitting stay exclusively in the front part of the home and have access to the front yard, so there is non interaction between my dogs. My dogs are friendly with other dogs but this arrangement just makes it easier and more comfortable for yours = )

“Jesse has really helped us out with Lucy, and has been able to handle her perfectly. Love his attention to any potential concerns and relay information about her walks. He has also been accommodating when we’ve needed short-notice visits.”

“Moriah was so great for Walt! Not only did she help fill a need for us with a last minute cancellation, she was so responsive and great with our dog. She gave great feedback after every walk and was so kind. I would definitely hire again and recommend to friends!”

“Anna would be a wonderful addition to your staff of pet sitters and dog walkers. She not only loves our four legged friends and spending time with them but she is reliable and can be trusted with a family's pet. She pays attention to detail and will be in tune with the individual needs of each pet. She will be attentive to each animal in her care and will be a reliable employee for your service. I highly recommend Anna Plessing to you.”

“Kristal is amazing!!! She took the best care of my dog Tilly last week and I am so grateful. She had great communication and was very responsive. Not only did she provide great care and walks, she took some of the BEST pictures! I would highly recommend her for any of your pet needs!”

“Abby is a wonderful person who cares so much for her pets and any other animals. She's responsible, reliable, and trustworthy. Abby takes great care of my dog whenever I need her help.”

“She was amazing, she went above and beyond for my animals. She understood that the dogs needed time to relax out of their cages and gave them extra love. She sent daily updates and pictures. We will definitely use her again.”

“Sarah will not only care for your pet(s) like they are her own, she will be respectful of your space and belongings and will always be punctual. You will never have to wonder whether she will be there or if your pets are being taken care of. Sarah has taken care of our dog, cat and chickens for years and I am always at ease when I am away from home, because I know that I can count on her to be there. My animals LOVE Sarah and so do we. She is like a part of our family!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a child. I have extensive experience dealing with puppies and elderly dogs. In addition I have medical training. I have plenty of time during the day to care for pets. I work nights which works out well, because it’s during the time that my pets sleep. Caring for pets is of utmost importance to me. I take steps daily to make sure all pets are comfortable and cared for in every way.

“Mikayla was very attentive and kept us posted on her walk today. We appreciate her customer service and kindness w our pugs.Thank you”

About: Hey there! My name is Amanda, I’m a wine salesperson and I have a deep love for pups! I have one dog of my own, Theo, who is extremely friendly and playful with other dogs. If your pet needs social time that you can’t always provide, Theo and I are happy to help! If your dog doesn’t do well with other dogs, I’m also happy to come to you instead or keep them separated as needed. I have been around dogs my entire life and used to foster dogs for local shelters as well. I have experience with training and teaching dogs basic tricks and manners. I am accepting of all breeds and sizes, and just ask that your pet is dog-friendly and potty trained if they are to come over and hangout with us! It will be my goal to make sure your dog leaves happier than when they came. I look forward to meeting your sweet fur babies! PLEASE make sure your pet is UP TO DATE on grooming (especially nails!), vaccinations, and flea and tick medicine. I’ve had a couple of bad experiences and need to make sure I’m only allowing pets in my home that are safe & healthy! Thank you in advance I pride myself in providing my dogs structure and a set schedule. We get up at 7:30 every morning (after a few snuggles) for breakfast, then we go for a long walk. Before I head to work often take them to the dog park to work out some more of their energy. They then spend the day with my fiancé while I’m gone. We have dinner around 8pm, after our evening walk. Currently, since I have a 12 month old son, I am only available to work at my job on the weekends. This allows me to have a much more open schedule for pets. My fiancé and I also share the responsibility of pet sitting, so please inquire about specific dates as we may be able to have someone available at all times according to our schedule for those dates. I realize each pet is different, so I ask the owner help me personalize care for their unique pet! Normally I like to shower pets with love and play, for dogs that are reactive, have resource guarding, anxiety, or special needs, I modify my approach according to the owner’s preference. For me, communication is everything, and I will only do what I know you are comfortable with.
