About: I've had pets since I was a little girl. During college, I worked as a Veterinary Assistant as a part-time job and have always pet sit. I have a lot of free time during this stage of my life and my work is extremely flexible. I would love to take care of your animals while you're away! I have my own small online business so my schedules are flexible and I have a lot of free time! I'm available 7 days a week and can arrange to pet sit with short (one day) notice :) I have half an acre of wooden fenced back yard and a large 20' by 20' composite deck that was built just last year. I will take lots of pictures and I am happy to take care of puppies too. I have taken the Cat and Dog First Aid course offered by American Red Cross so I understand the basics of providing first aid care for your cat or dog, as well as how to care for them in most common emergency situations.

“Carlita is super responsible, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. The dogs love her and we truly appreciate how she's been able to help us get their leash training back on track after a lazy winter. Thanks for being a great new best friend to the pups!”


About: I have lived dog with multiple dogs my whole life. I have 5 years of experience in the veterinary world that has broadened my horizon to the variety of breeds out there and the different requirements they need. I also specialize in medicating our furry friends in the most stress-free way possible. I have experience training my own service dog from 8 weeks old to present and continue to keep his training up to date. I also specialize in hospice care for our are geriatric puppies, because no matter how old they are, they are always puppies to us. I am currently pet sitting for people Part-Time. my goal is to make caring for animals my full-time job. While I continuemaking commissioned pet portraits! Along with other commissions for various prints and paintings. At my house, dogs will eat separately from other dogs for safety and have long line leash walks for potty breaks. If a pet is known to have toy aggression, toys will be taken out of the equation. I do have a service dog that comes with me everywhere including my clients homes. If a client 's pet is dog aggressive or the cats are scared of dog, I will not have my service dog interact with them to give comfort and safety for all.

“Abby was wonderful with our pup! It was our first time having a walker stop by since adopting him, and Abby put us at complete ease and was excellent through and through. Will def be a repeat booker! :)”

About: Hello, I’m Max! I’d love to care for your fur babies. I have experience with a wide variety of animals. I currently own a one year old Red-Nose Pitbull and been working with him since he was a few weeks old. He’s one of the many dogs that I’ve trained throughout my life. I’d love to experience life’s opportunities with your Paw-some companion! I’m currently a Substitute Teacher for CCPS so during the summer I have full availability to care for your babies. During the school year I’m available weekends, with weekdays have a bit more of a limited schedule. I feel as though it’s best to not only physically stimulate animals, but also mentally. Whether it be going for walks, training, mental exercises, or something as simple as love, I’m committed to do it all.

About: I promise you trust, communication, comfortability, and great care! I love pets! I grew up with a Golden Retriever named Skippy! I now own my beautiful mut mix of Lab, Pit and Blood Hound. His name is Maverick! He's 2 and such a loving, happy dude! I currently dog sit my mom's 3 Boston Terriors whenever she needs to go out of town and have been since I was a teenager. I also take in my best friend's older pit bull, Cookie, and her and Maverick get along wonderfully! There's plenty of space to walk dogs around my apartment community, along with a fenced in tennis court area where they can run free! I work full time AT HOME so I'm flexible just looking to make some extra money I work from home Monday through Friday, and am available most weekends, so I have lots of time and flexibility to care for your doggos! I live in an apartment but it's very dog friendly! I will ensure your dog gets lots of attention and love! I have access to lots of trails, open pet areas, and a fenced in tennis court where they can run free and we can play fetch! My dog is very friendly and has lots of experience around other dogs. I do have a large dog crate if that is required or necessary.

About: I've always had a love for dogs and I started volunteering at my local humane society when I was 13. In the years before that I would fill my free time reading about animals and watching veterinary shows. I've worked at a pet resort for over a year now and I've cared for dogs of all sizes, ages and abilities. I also have a dog of my own, Gizmo, and he loves to go on adventures all over the parks of Virginia. I'm a nature lover and would be happy to take your dog(s) on some of my favorite trails! I'm currently working part-time (overnights) and attending UNC Charlotte. When I'm home from school I'll have plenty of time to hang out with your pup! I love spending quality time with my pets and yours. Sometimes that looks like going for a nature walk or cuddling up on the couch and watching tv.

About: Dogs bring so much joy and purpose to my life, I genuinely love spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 15 years, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra TLC. As a dog mom to both a Miniature Schnauzer and a Great Dane, I’m confident handling everything from tiny paws to big personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m happy to work on leash and obedience training and love engaging dogs in mentally stimulating games that keep their minds sharp and tails wagging. Whether your pup needs calm companionship or an active play buddy, I’ll show up with patience, care, and lots of love. I work from home part time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pup! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekday care. Because I’m home all day, your dog will have lots of love, attention, and playtime. I enjoy keeping dogs on a consistent routine with regular walks, meals, and play.. structure helps them feel safe and happy! Although my yard isn’t fenced, I always keep dogs leashed during outdoor time to ensure their safety. Inside, my home is spacious and perfect for supervised play and lounging. I live with two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love having guests around. I’m comfortable crating dogs if needed and will always follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel at home. I prioritize structure, predictability, and lots of affection to make sure every dog in my care feels secure and loved.

About: I’ve always had multiple dogs my entire 28 years of life! As the youngest of 3, it was always up to me to walk, feed, and train the dogs. I currently have a 5 year old pit/pointer mix and a dachshund mix under a year old! We love going for walks at the river or visiting the dog park in Chester! My wife and I also have 2 cats, meaning our dogs are very active friendly! We love all animals, shape and sizes! We reside in Colonial Heights and have a relatively decent sized fenced in back yard! Our cats are spoiled and have a dedicated room where they can come and go as they please, no dogs allowed! We also have a spare room to accommodate any dogs that may need to be separate for any reasons. Safety is very important to me! In my car I have multiple doggy seatbelts and harnesses dedicated for riding. I look forward to showing your dog or cat to the Daisey Does It way! I truly care for anyone’s pets as my own. I currently work part time while attending part time classes at Brightpoint Community College. I’m home except for a few early mornings, so my availability is pretty open. I can walk dogs or do home visits throughout the day or night. I can also board a dog(s) on most nights throughout the week. I have a relatively large fenced in yard with lots of doggy toys! My wife and I have 2 dogs that love meeting new friends to play with! We also have two cats, they have always been around dogs. We treat all animals as our own. We believe animals are better than people, haha! Our pets are our children, they are allowed on the furniture, and sleep with us as well. We can crate your animal if needed and have a spare room if you’d like your animal separated for any reasons. Our dogs are trained for off leash hikes, but we do walk them around the neighborhood as well. I’d love to take your fur baby to the local river trails even to run off leash in my backyard!

“Emily was simply outstanding. She went above and beyond to take care of my dog and kept me up to date on everything happening with her. I would absolutely recommend her 100% to anyone who needs dog care/services!”


“Caleb is fantastic with dogs of all kinds. He took such good care of our little guy, and was so accommodating. He provided multiple pictures and an update on every walk which made it as stress free as it can be to leave a pet at home.”


About: I grew up around dogs and a cat. I love spending time with fur creatures. I would be happy to check on your pet if you can’t. Summer is here, and you may need some extra help. My summer hours are very flexible. Please let me know how I can help you out. I accept same day requests. I don’t mind sitting with your pet and keeping them company. I can also take your dog for regular walks to ensure they are getting the exercise they need in your absence.

“We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Amanda. Her love for animals is obvious and she is great with both of our dogs (one of which struggles with reactivity). Additionally, Amanda has gone above and beyond for our family when we really needed her. We highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up in Brazil. I was raised in the Amazon Rainforest area so I’m quite familiar with many animals. I have had multiple pets in my life. Mostly dogs and cats. But also fish, birds and other animals. I always strive to do my best to watch after and care for them as they are a friend, relationship, kid and family to me. I can be playful with pets but know my limits and I’ll usually sense if the pets are upset or having fun. I am willing to discuss many options for the pet duties and other things also. I could travel to a nearby park/field with a pet if that’s needed and permitted. I am reasonable and will comply if any problems occur. My goal is hoping to leave with y’all satisfied for the services that I provide.

sabrina s.
“Sabrina kept my 3 Dachshunds for a month at my home and did a great job. I have a ring camera and I know she took them out as requested and on schedule. They each had different medications they needed and she gave them their meds. Sabrina is such a loving dog sitter and am so glad she kept my boys. She sent me pics every few days as I was missing them. I could tell they were being loved and well cared for. The boys love her and her dog Comet, who also stayed too. While we were gone she worked with them to teach them not to bark at the door. She desensitized them to knocks and rings. Before, if they heard a knock or ring, they would bark like crazy and it took a long time to get them to be quiet. Now they hear a knock or ring and they bark but when I do what she showed me, they stop quickly and quiet down right away. I just loved having her keep my dogs. When I got home my house was just as clean as I left it. That was also very important to me. She is my go to person from now on.”

“Brenda cared for my dog for a few weeks while I was away. She walked her, fed her and played with her. She has also been her walker on and off for many years when needed. My dog loves her and the attention she gives her. She is reliable and loves animals. I give her my highest praise, love her.”


Max H.
“Max did a great job staying at my boyfriends house with our Tibetan Mastiff Pinky. While he was there he even gave Pinky a bath which nobody has ever done before but he needed it so badly because my partner is a plus sized man and has difficulties washing Pinky on his own.”


Sarah K.
“Sarah takes excellent care of our dogs. They have special diets and take meds. She carefully follows our written instructions. She is dependable, and caring. The dogs respond well to her kind and caring demeanor. Sarah has always secured our home, and cleaned up when necessary. She spends time playing with them, and letting run around out back when we are gone. I trust her completely.”
