House Sitting Sigma

“Hailey did an amazing job watching my dogs for a few hours while I was at a concert. She was responsible, kind, and attentive, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I got home, and it was clear she genuinely enjoys being around animals. I would absolutely trust Hailey with my dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!”

“Michael did a fantastic job taking care of my pets! He was reliable, punctual, and communicated really well throughout the entire booking. He made sure my dog was fed, took him on walks, and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I also really appreciated that he kept me informed as my cats slowly warmed up to him. It was clear he was patient with them and paid attention to each of my pets’ personalities and needs. Overall, I had a great experience and felt like my animals were in good hands. I would absolutely book with Michael again and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family by walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for their pets while they were away. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to routines, safety, and each pet’s individual needs. I make sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for, and I always follow the owner’s instructions closely. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if it were my own. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I’m available on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and again after 6:00 p.m. I’m also fully available on weekends, which allows me to provide consistent care, attention, and flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting I always prioritize safety, trust, and respect when caring for pets in their own home. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, maintain routines, ensure doors and gates are secure, and keep pets in a calm and safe environment. I treat every home and pet with responsibility, care, and attention.

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.

“Brittany is simply just wonderful!!! We appreciate the great care and patience she showed to our baby, Gracie. She also took perfect care of our home. We are looking forward to seeing her again for another stay in April. Thanks so much for all you did.”

“Jennifer was good for both us and our fur babies. She sent daily updates and photos. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were getting all the attention and care they needed. We are confident that she will not disappoint anyone who leaves their pets in her care.”

About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and genuinely feel most at home with them. I grew up walking dogs in my neighborhood, so caring for different personalities, energy levels, and needs has always come naturally to me. I also have hands-on professional experience working at a high capacity boarding facility, where I helped care for many dogs at a time alongside a small team, including senior and special needs dogs. I gained experience in administering a variety of medications including injections. That environment solidified my knowledge in how to read dog behavior, handle group dynamics safely, and stay calm and attentive even in high-energy play situations. Whether your dog is playful, shy, wild, or needs a little extra patience, I’m comfortable meeting them where they are. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’d love to give your dog a safe, engaging, and comfortable experience while you’re away. Pet care fits pretty naturally into my routine. I work part-time, so I have a good amount of flexibility during the week, especially in the mornings, and I’m available most weekends. I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, drop-ins, or boarding to make sure pets get the time and attention they need, not just quick check-ins. I take safety and comfort seriously, whether pets are in my home or theirs. I’m very aware of behavior and body language, and I make sure introductions, feeding, and routines are handled calmly and intentionally. I have experience working in a high-volume boarding environment, so I’m comfortable managing different personalities and energy levels. I follow whatever routines you have in place and keep things consistent so your pet feels as secure and stress-free as possible.

“Aubrey was fantastic! She was able to help out with last second sitting. Very responsive and great with our girls. We will be contacting her again!”

Nate G.

“JaNasia is incredibly kind, patient, and responsible. She was able to handle our small zoo without issue and was always responsive and easy to reach. Will definitely be reaching out to book with her again!”

Isabel B.

“This is the second time Alexandra has sat for us. As usual our babies were happy and well taken care of! Alexandra is great with dogs of all ages. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years and currently own a well-trained Rottweiler. As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of trust, consistency, exercise, and positive interactions. I have experience handling large breeds, maintaining walking routines, and providing attentive care to ensure dogs feel comfortable and safe. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I give my own dog. I work a full-time schedule and am typically available in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, and most holidays. As a dog owner myself, daily walks and pet care are already part of my routine. I understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and attention, and I’ll make sure your pet receives reliable care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As the owner of a friendly, well-trained Rottweiler, I have experience handling both large and small dogs. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, maintain secure leash control during walks, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and positive interaction. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated throughout each visit.

About: A little bit about my experience: I currently have four dogs: two German Shepherds, each about six years old, and two beagle mixes, each about ten years old. Additionally, we have four cats, ranging in age from thirteen years old to one year and four months old. I am working full time Monday - Friday 7:15am - 4:15pm. I am free to walk, check-in, or stay with your fur baby any time after 4:15pm on the weekdays or anytime on the weekends! If you have any questions about my availability please reach out! I will only do walks, check-ins, and house sitting if it is at the owner’s residence. This helps the pet not have to go through so much change in a small amount of time.

About: Hello, my name is Addison, let me tell you a little about myself, I have a fur baby of my own at home, he’s a 100lbs chocolate lab who is 9 years old! I love dogs of all sizes and breeds! Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine since I was a little girl. I’m so excited to meet your pups and care for them while the owner is working/ out of town. I am very trustworthy and I have my own transportation to travel to and from your home to let the the dog(s) out and to be feed. I hope you pick me to watch after your dog(s), I couldn’t be more excited for the opportunities that could come my way! I work full time but I get off at 2pm each day! I am available to take care of fur babies any time I’m not working! I have a fenced in back yard for my fur baby to play and run around in! I can easily crate your dog if that is what you prefer while they are home alone!

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!

“Monica was very friendly and sweet with our girls. She sent a lot of photo updates which I really appreciate. Thank you!!”

“Hannah is exceptional with dogs. Knowing that my pet is receiving quality care puts my mind at ease when I cannot be there. I can’t recommend Hannah enough!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and am very comfortable caring for pets of all ages and temperaments. I currently have a senior dog of my own, so I’m especially attentive to routine, patience, and reading body language. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules, administering basic medications, crate routines, and giving pets the attention they need while you’re away. I understand how important consistency and safety are, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I work remotely and have the capacity to be available whenever needed, including those that need multiple walks, medications or play time throughout the day. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible — same feeding times, walk schedule, and familiar environment. I always double-check doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses before and after walks, and I’m attentive to surroundings while outside. I treat your home with respect and leave everything as I found it. For drop-ins and walks, I focus on safety, patience, and clear communication. I’ll send updates and photos so you know your pet is comfortable and cared for. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away.

About: I walk dogs for my local animal shelters frequently and i have raised and trained all of my dogs (i had 4) form when they where puppies so adults. I am a college student in my senior year, so my schedule is fairly flexible. However, my best availability is on the weekends and fridays. I have so much respect and love for animals, and I understand that they are family and someone’s babies. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and do whatever they need to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
