Cat Sitting in Sigma

“Emma is amazing. She is a true gem. I felt so releived that I found her. She communicates really well, she is very kind and reliable. My GSD loved her from the first meeting and I felt safe knowing that she liked her. Emma went above and beyond for us. I received pictures and communication throughout the process. We will be reaching out to Emma in the future. She is now my go to sitter :-)”

About: I’ve had experience watching dogs for my entire life. I know how to give medicine, including injections, to dogs and cats. I am also certified in first aid and have completed a “Stop the Bleed” course. I’m available most days with a few days notice. I am able to come over and walk your dogs or just spend time with your pets. I can easily come to you and do whatever is needed. Walks, feedings, etc. I am very attentive and love to play with your pets.

“Karlie was so sweet and took such good care of my cat, Ralph. He really cuddled up to her which made me happy since it was my first time leaving him for a work trip. I will absolutely contact Karlie again for pet sitting! Thank you!”

“Kirra was fantastic, she regularly gave updates and our pups were happy and well taken care of. We definitely had peace of mind with her and would request her again.”

“Gabrielle was amazing! We were out of the country and our pet sitter had to leave early on our last day as we were traveling back home. We worked everything out with Gabrielle through the app. She showed up when we needed her to, and she did everything we needed so we didn’t worry about our babies as we were traveling home. I will definitely use her again, and I would recommend her without hesitation. And our babies seemed to love her!”

“Steve did a great job! He was on time each day, fed and played with the cats and looked after the house. We are definitely will use him again!”

About: I've grown up surrounded by animals my entire life, and that hands-on experience is what truly sets me apart. I was raised with three cats (2 indoor, 1 outdoor), caring for them from kittenhood all the way through end-of-life care, including demanding daily routines and administering medication. I also have two dogs of my own: a Mini Australian Shepherd I raised from a puppy and personally trained. He’s so smart he keeps me on my toes, which means I know exactly how to handle high-energy, high-drive breeds and the escape artists of the dog world. The other is a large pitty mix we adopted at age two who came to us with leash pulling, reactivity, excessive barking, and rough play habits, all of which I've worked through and successfully managed. I know how to confidently handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Beyond cats and dogs, I've owned two guinea pigs, a hamster, and fish, so I understand the specific and often overlooked needs of small pets too. I've also assisted my sister in fostering cats, many of whom were shy, post-surgical, or required medication and special feeding instructions, so I'm completely comfortable with pets that need a little extra patience and TLC. Most recently, I pet sat a kitten over spring break 2026, and I'm always happy to sit for other pet owners' animals as well. As a sophomore in Alpha Chi Omega, I bring the same reliability, respect, and communication to pet sitting that I bring to everything I do. I treat every pet as if they were my own, follow your routines to the letter, and love keeping owners in the loop with regular updates, photos, and videos, as often as you'd like. If you're looking for someone experienced, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about animals, I'm your person! I currently only have one exam left, so my schedule is essentially wide open! I'm in Blacksburg and available May 9–12 and May 16–22, with virtually nothing on my plate during those windows. Whether you need someone for a full house sit, multiple check-ins throughout the day, early morning visits, or late night drop-ins, I can make it work. Flexibility is my strong suit right now, so don't hesitate to reach out no matter the timing or frequency! I'm happy to care for pets both in my home and in yours! For in-home sitting and visits at your place, I'm completely comfortable following whatever routine, rules, and setup you have in place, your home, your way. If you'd like your pet to stay with me, I welcome that too! Just note that I live in an apartment, so I don't have a fenced-in yard, but my complex has a dog park and is surrounded by beautiful neighborhood nature trails that are perfect for walks and exploring. I'd also ask that you send everything your pet needs along with them (crate, food/water bowls, bed, toys, leash, etc.) so they have the comfort of their own familiar belongings, which is honestly better for them anyway!

“We are so happy to have found Kelsey! She checked all of the boxes that make us feel comfortable leaving our Cleo in her hands for drop-ins while out of town.”

“I've only used Paula once so far, but she was wonderful. Booked her for 7 days, and she was always on time or early. My dog, Sirius, can be a pain with new people and took him a bit to warm up. She took him on a walk, and he was hooked. I will definitely use again if she is available.”

About: I've been around cats since birth and have years of hands-on experience. I understand feline behavior and provide gentle, attentive care for every kitty and dogs and all animals.

About: My husband and I have been fostering dogs of all ages and sizes for the past year. We have a 2 year old corgi-sized neutered male dog that loves having a playmate. We have a crate and separate room available if needed. Our kids are respectful of pets and aren’t home during the day. I am also a certified Reiki II practitioner, and am happy to reiki your dog for no additional charge to help promote relaxation and healing. We cater to your dog and they become part of the family while they’re here. We are home 90% of the time and never have multiple dogs staying at the same time. I am currently a stay-at-home parent/homemaker so your dog will never be alone for more than an hour or two at most! We have a large fenced in yard and will walk your dog at least once per day. Please note: We prefer shorter stays, under a week. We would love to have a few regular canine guests that will know and trust our family over time -so your dog will enjoy their stay and feel like extended family without anxiety. Your dog will become a short-term family member while we board. We never confine to a crate or room unless requested. We have dog beds and cooling mats, a large deck, and fenced in yard. Plenty of toys and an extremely safe neighborhood. We will never give your dog human food or unauthorized treats. We have a filtered dog water fountain and will keep your dog separate from ours at mealtimes. We also have a doggy door so your dog can come and go as it pleases.

“Misty did an awesome job with my puppy Linus! My normal Rover sitter had a work conflict and she stepped in on short notice and did a great job! She took time to know my puppy and what he needed and kept me in loop with her visit. She also did great with my puppy's older cat brother Odin. I would without hesitation recommend her based for her passion with animals, she was prompt, and I knew my crew was in great hands. As a new dog parent this piece of mind was unmeasurable. Thank you Misty!”

About: This house is only happy when pups are running around having fun. We have 3 friendly Australian Shepards that love playmates. Bear is 11 years old and Sundae and Irie are almost 5 years old. Our friends call this home, pup camp because they bring over their pups for the day for play dates when they are away from their homes for an extended amount of time. Prior to caring for your pup, we do request that there is a meet and greet to ensure that all get along. There's a large outdoor space for lots of playtime, a large fenced in yard with a pool that the pups are welcome to swim in. We go on frequent walks and have lots of play time outside so we get our exercise. We are experienced with caring for young pups, special needs and seniors along with administering medications and injections. If you hire us for drop ins or walks, you can ensure that your fur baby will get lots of loving attention, playtime, walked and feed or medicated if needed. Update: no longer accepting new clients for boarding or day care as our Sunday's anxiety and uncomfortable levels are increasing with the new fur baby faces coming and going. We think she has reached her limit. However, open to previous clients.We provide doggy boarding to 1 family at a time up to 2 pups. Your fur babies are treated and loved as our own so we insist on meet & greets..to make sure everyone/pup feels at home. The same is true for doggy daycare....but ask about daycare discounts! Currently a stay at home dog mom! I also spend time caring for friends pups throughout the week...just call me dogma! Schedule is flexible and open. For daycare, drop ins and walks 6:30am-6pm We have a large fenced in yard, swimming pool and dog crate. We play a lot and go on long walks. Friends pups come hang out so there as ample socialization

“Lexi was absolutely wonderful! Very sweet, responsible, and trustworthy. She took great care of my dog and cat, fed my son’s fish, and even brought in packages for me. She sent lots of adorable pictures and updates, and I felt completely comfortable leaving everything in her care. You can tell she truly loves animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Kalie cared for our two fur babies while we were out of town and did a great job. Definitely recommend and will keep Kalie in mind for next time.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for about 6 years and have experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I regularly pet sit for friends, family, and neighbors, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’ve also cared for both high-energy dogs and more relaxed or older pets, so I’m able to adjust to each pet’s needs and personality. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time caring for pets. I’m typically available on weekdays after classes and have open availability on weekends. I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs, whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. I prioritize reliability and communication, so you can count on me to be consistent and attentive. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I make sure to follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special care needs. I keep a clean, safe environment and pay close attention during walks and playtime. I’m very respectful of both your home and your pet, and I will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.
