“Gerri is fantastic with our little pug! We have no worries at all and feel completely confident and secure with leaving Bourbon with Gerri in our home. She's extremely kind and personable, communicates and sends photos often. Highly recommended!”

“Melissa was amazing! I ended up not having service while I was away and felt no anxiety about whether or not my fur kids were being cared for!”

“Sarah did an amazing job taking care of my 13 month puppy. Wesley is high energy and loves attention! He really loved Sarah and I felt confident leaving him! Sarah communicated during her stay and even sent pictures. Wesley is a fussy eater and she got him to eat a meal. Sarah left my home neat and I would highly recommend her services. Don’t hesitate to book!”

About: Hi! I'm Cat, and it is my literal pleasure to care for your dog, cat, lizard, bunny, or parrot! What you can expect from me: -Fast, clear, and concise executive-level communication. -Deep breed-specific knowledge of behavior underpinned by my time as a vet receptionist -High quality photos -Easy, flexible scheduling -Complete focus and attention to detail -Genuine joy and enthusiasm to care for your pet In my previous life, I was a design program manager within corporate tech (Meta, Comcast, Pinterest), and I'm thrilled and privileged to pivot into pet care. I have cared for dogs of every size, flavor, and temperament. I have extensive experience training dogs, and quite frankly, I've watched a whole lot of Westminster dog show. In particular, I have specialized experience with shy or nervous dogs and will provide them the space and understanding needed to relax and feel comfortable. I am happy to walk or jog to help burn canine energy. Not afraid to get down in the dirt and play! I have been deeply involved in cat rescue since 2020, when I began working remotely. I have fostered dozens of cats over the years. This includes kittens with complex medical issues. I am very capable at medicating cats and kittens as well as identifying when a cat may be feeling unwell. When you board with me, your pet will not be left alone for more than 1 hour. I only board pets from one household at a time and provide dedicated personal care. When your baby is at my house, they are family. Feel free to reach out with any additional questions. I'm currently working remotely doing project-based contract work, so I have plenty of availability and scheduling flexibility. If boarding or house-sitting, I will be fully available and no pet will be left alone longer than an hour. I have a friendly chihuahua mix (8 lbs) and 2 cats, but if needed, I have plenty of room to give everyone their own space. I have an unfenced backyard with plenty of room to romp. Dogs will always be leashed or tethered in yard.

“Another wonderful job by Amanda! Our elder dog Chelsea was getting over not feeling well and Amanda cared for her like she was her own. She gave lots of feedback and pics. Showered our Chelsea Girl with attention. Will book again!”

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have had Bernese Mountain Dogs since I was born, including having three Bernese at one time. Caring for large dogs has given me extensive experience with feeding schedules, walks, grooming needs, exercise, and providing attentive care. In addition to dogs, I have also raised two bunnies and two hamsters, giving me experience with small animals and understanding the importance of patience and gentle care. Currently, I care for one Bernese Mountain Dog, one bunny, and two French Bulldogs. My lifelong experience with both large and small pets helps set me apart as someone who is comfortable, reliable, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. I’m currently home for the summer from college so most of my days are free. I am currently working part time, two days a week at night. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In both my home and a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules carefully, provide fresh water at all times, give pets plenty of exercise and attention, and make sure they have a clean environment. I am experienced caring for both large and small animals, so I understand that each pet has different needs and personalities

“Kathy knows her business and has a natural connection with dogs. Our little Chihuahua mix is very shy with strangers, but Kathy gave her a "massage" that immediately won her over. We were very comfortable knowing Kathy was taking care of our dog and two cats for the holidays. Highly recommended.”

“Natalie was great!! She arrived on time and communicated well. Our dog felt right at ease upon Natalie’s arrival. Can’t wait to ask her to sit with our pup again!”

“We had Sonnie of the duo stay at our house with our pups and we’ve never come back from vacation before and had the dogs been so relaxed. Sonnie did such a phenomenal job caring for our animals and our house. We felt incredibly comfortable leaving them in Sonnie’s care after two pre-vacation visits where our pets simply could not get enough of Sonnie. Sonnie showed kindness and understanding, sent us daily updates and pictures. I would definitely hire Sonnie again when we go away or just to let the pups out or walk them when we have a long day away. Thanks so much Sonnie!”

About: I began pet sitting when I was 15 years old! I am extremely friendly and highly aware of animal behavior and emotions. I have experience pet/house sitting and boarding for weeks at a time. I absolutely love animals! That doesn’t mean I just love to pet and play with them (which I do) That also means I love to take care of them and make sure they are living in the best conditions possible! This means always having clean water, good food, going on ample walks, being engaged and entertained, cleaning up after their messes inside and out and distributing any medication or special treatment necessary. I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I have had a special needs dog as my own pet in the past and know what it takes (time and patience) to make sure they are taken care of. I also know how challenging it can be to trust someone to care of your best friend just as you would! Trust me!! I can’t wait to be your best friend's best friend and a home away from home. I am passionate and dedicated to making sure your best friend gets the care they need! I love going for walks and cuddling so whatever vibe they bring I can match it! Whether in my home or the client’s, I ensure that the space is pet-proofed by removing hazardous objects, securing any dangerous areas, and providing a clean, pet-friendly environment. If at home, I offer secure, enclosed spaces for the pet to roam freely while being safe. When walking dogs, I always use secure leashes, harnesses, and stay in safe, pet-friendly areas. I provide regular updates (with photos!) to the owner, to show how their pet is doing,

About: I’ve taken care of cats, small dogs and big dogs. I’ve been taking care of animals more or less since I was a child. I have experience with kittens as young as a week old. Along with my full-time job, I love working with pets whenever I can fit it in! After work usually is the best time for me to check in on your furry friends! I have experience working with young puppies and kittens to older more mature dogs and cats. Taking dogs out in the backyard or out on runs, cleaning cat litter boxes, feeding and snacks are all part of a typical day.

About: New clients use my code for $20 off: NATALV74909 I am a passionate animal lover with over 13 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I am a kind and compassionate person who treats every animal as if they were my own. When you bring your furry friend to my home, you can rest assured that they will receive the highest quality of care. My experience working with animals has given me a deep understanding of their behavior and needs. I know how to provide personalized care to each animal in my care, whether they need extra attention, a special diet, or medication. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and get joy from seeing them happy and healthy. When you leave your pet with me, you can be sure that they will receive the love and attention they need while you're away. My years of experience, passion for animals, and comfortable home make will be the perfect choice for anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. I'm a junior college student, most of my classes are online so my schedule is very flexible, I usually walk them around my complex or take them to the dogs park with the owners permission I have an unfenced yard, toys, and bowls. I can administer medicine, give them baths, clean their ears and trim their nails. I worked in an animal hospital and a farm so I have a lot of experience handling animals :)

“Chris is awesome! He was so easy to communicate with and you can tell he really loves dogs. I do not trust my dog with anyone outside the family, but I do trust him with Chris for 2 most important reasons. He has health issues and needs medication, and he is a runner. Being a Hound, he can even get away from me! It is very difficult to keep him safe. I trust Chris with him totally. I can rest easy when he is with Chris, and I do not have to worry about him being in a crate all day. Thank You Chris for being there for us!”

About: I've been taking care of family, friends, and neighbors animals since I was little. I've been working and volunteering at a local animal rescue for almost two years, and am comfortable and familiar with dogs of any kind, age, temperament, and more! I'm not afraid to clean up or play with a dog with energy, I've seen it all and have experience with hundreds of dogs! I am student at Virginia Tech, so coming home over the summer leaves me totally free! I'm eager to have something to fill my time, especially if it's checking in on a puppy every few hours, or getting me active while I'm on break. I have so much experience with maintaining a dogs environment and health, and can predict dogs needs based on behavior from my time working with them! I have worked with service dogs, special needs dogs, elderly dogs, almost newborn puppies, and more. Each dog is different and I love learning their needs and patterns over time.

About: I have 4 of my own furbabies but have had dogs/cat and a variety of other pets my entire life. I started dog sitting for neighbors, friends and family when I was about 15 years old which included walks, meals, playtime and overnight stays. I’m also comfortable administering insulin injections as well as medications. I have a true passion for animals especially Shelter and Rescue pups (although all pups are perfect!) My husband and I even volunteered on our honeymoon at Vialobos Pitbull Rescue! You'll usually find me at a party sitting on the floor with the dog, asking strangers if I can pet their pups, or sharing unsolicited photos of my own puppers. I’m also very active and love pups that don’t mind daily walks or going on a nice run! I’ve found that dogs make the best running buddies. I've raised puppies of my own, pup-sat for puppies and in multi-pup homes and have experience with the sweet gray-faced seniors. I don’t mind assisting with special needs pups, mobility issues, diaper changes or sponge baths, I’ve done it all. I also have experience with all breeds, from the peanut pups to the big ol' pibbles. Don’t let my small size fool you, I can easily pick up a 150lb pup with ease if needed!
