About: I've been around dogs my entire life: Owned 4 and raised/trained 16 service dogs in training for children with disabilities. I run half marathons, so I'll run with your pup if that's what they like! I have plenty of toys that I've collected over the years for your dog to play with! I love teaching dogs new tricks and commands, and would love to work with your fur baby so they can show you something special when you return! I take pictures constantly, so you will always have an update on your pup. I am comfortable with all breeds, and have the most experience with labs, goldens, and doodles. I am happy to give your pup a bath for a small fee so they come back to you looking and feeling great! I also have experience teaching basic commands to your dog, and would be more than happy to discuss training programs if that’s something you’re interested in! I also have experience with kittens and cats, having had 3 of my own. I'm comfortable with super friendly cats, or cats that want to keep to themselves. I will make sure your cat has food, water, and a clean litter box while you are away. In addition I can offer care for any gardens/houseplants that you have as well! While I work during the week, I am still committed to providing the best care for your pets. This will especially be true for pets that are use to having their people work during the day! This will provide a routine for your furry family member while you are away! While I live in an apartment, I am close to a park if your dog is friendly and enjoys going for walks! I am also very comfortable caring for cats and all that that entails while the cat stays in your home, usually where they are the most comfortable.

About: I have been pet sitting for my community since I can remember!!! I have experience administering medications in topical form, oral medication via syringe, eye ointments, and nose droppers!! I work full time, so I will only be able to do weekend overnight bookings, but during the weekend I can be available all day to help you and your pet as much as needed!!! For daily drop ins, I will be able to check in before, during, and after working hours due to my flexible working schedule :-) I will respect all of the rules and jobs that the owner of the pet would give to me!!! I am clean, responsible, and honest!!

Mark took great care of our puppy. He was very quick to respond to my request (it was somewhat short notice) and was a lifesaver. He kept us updated and paid attention to our dogs needs. I highly recommend Mark and will be using him in the future.

First time ever using the app so I was really nervous about it, but DAMACIA made me feel completely at ease. She listened to all my concerns and how to take care of my sweet boy because he is hard of hearing. She took him on a walk around the neighborhood and Maximus seemed to enjoy it. Now that the walk is over my sweet boy is passed out on the couch probably for the rest of the day. Will definitely be using her services in the near future.

About: I have had dogs since I was a child. I’ve walked neighbors dogs. Volunteered to raise puppies for service dog organizations. I volunteer at the RACC animal shelter as well during the week Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m a full-time college student, but my afternoons and evenings are open for walks, visits, feeding, and playtime. My weekends are fully available, which gives me even more flexibility for longer stays or extra attention. I already spend a lot of my free time caring for and hanging out with my own pets, so adding pet sitting to my schedule feels like a perfect and natural fit. I provide attentive, reliable care for pets in their own home, maintaining their normal routines to reduce stress. I ensure fresh food and water, daily exercise, playtime, litter or yard cleanup, medication if needed, and plenty of affection. I also keep the home tidy, bring in mail, and send regular updates with photos so clients feel confident and reassured while they’re away.

About: I've never not had animals in my life! I spent my early years on a working farm and have always had a way with animals. Dogs love me (cats, too!) and I them ❤️ I have many years of experience in the veterinary field and know what to do in emergencies. I am currently working part time and my schedule is flexible. I do work away from home for 5-8 hours a day, split shift. I have dogs amd cats but can keep them separate, if necessary. My dogs are dog friendly, although my beagle mix is very bossy (typical!) Dogs will be in the house with my dogs, but they can be separated, if needed. I can crate, if the parents supply the crate. Dogs will be leash walked in the wide front yard but we can also go across the street to the dog park, too!

About: Over the years I’ve cared for many types of dogs: wheaten terriers, springer spaniels, labs, golden doodles, etc. I’ve been very involved in training our dogs and teaching them fun tricks! I’m currently not working so between job applications and interviews I have plenty of time to walk dogs and pet sit! I’m also available on weekdays and most weekends I grew up with dogs, and I currently have a very friendly and outgoing 5 year old English Springer Spaniel (neutered) that loves to play with other dogs. I’m very aware of my surroundings when walking dogs and I’ve had years of experience to properly handle any situation that may arise on our walk.

About: Hi! I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule to accommodate your busy life. I offer reliable and trustworthy pet care services, ensuring your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, so you can count on plenty of patience and special attention for your fur babies. Whether through regular walks, playtime, or feeding routines, I provide compassionate care tailored to each pet's individual needs. I especially love going on walks and spending time outdoors. From pet owners, I prioritize clear communication in order to meet expectations, maintain consistency, and bring peace of mind. My routine is centered around my class schedule. I am free to prioritize sitting on the majority of weekends, so that’s my main source of availability. On weekdays, I’m generally open early mornings and evenings after 5:30. Quick visits throughout the day may be possible, depending on the location, so just reach out with the details and we can coordinate. As a dedicated pet sitter with years of experience, I ensure your four-legged friend remains happy and healthy. I pay close attention to body language to know when it’s playtime or if space is needed. I always respect boundaries, though I am also adept at implementing discipline at the owner’s discretion if necessary. Getting to know your pet’s unique personality as well as their favorite toys or games is the best part of the experience for me. Look forward to receiving photo and video updates of your babies while under my care. My method of sitting revolves around specific instructions from the owner regarding their pet’s routine, preferences, and any special requirements.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have cared for my own golden retriever, Sunny, since he was a puppy. Sunny is now 5 years old, well-behaved, and friendly with other pets. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, and creating a safe, loving environment for dogs of all temperaments. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I walk Sunny twice daily—morning and evening—and love spending time outdoors. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays. I live in a one-level ranch-style home with a fully fenced-in backyard, perfect for safe outdoor play. My home is quiet, clean, and pet-friendly. Sunny is gentle and social, making him a great companion for visiting pets. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their comfort and safety.

About: With a lifetime of experience growing up around animals, I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs from numerous families. I have also cared for senior dogs, making sure they get the medications and special attention they need. What sets me apart is the patience and time I dedicate to helping pets feel comfortable and secure while their loved ones are away. I don’t just watch over dogs—I give them affection, consistency, and the same love they’d get from their family. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to come by as needed and can create a plan that works best for your pet’s routine. I’m also available on weekends and can provide overnight care, making it easier for you to travel with peace of mind knowing your pets are well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, trust, and respect. I carefully follow all instructions the owner provides and make sure their home and pets are treated with the same care as if they were my own. I am respectful of the space, leave everything as I found it, and clean up after myself and the pets. If a pet needs to be crated, I always ensure they are secure and comfortable before I leave. I also have many families I’ve worked with who can provide references to give you extra peace of mind.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years-old, and my parents told me our family dog was my responsibility. I have had six dogs of my own over the years, including one foster dog that I had for several years. I have dog sat for many of my friends and neighbors over the years, as everyone knows how much I love dogs! I currently work from home in Richmond and spend all day with my loveable Golden Retriever, Louie! He gets along very well with other dogs and is happy to host them in his house and backyard. We would love to care for your best canine friend as well! I currently work fulltime from home so I am able to be home nearly all of the day with your dog(s). I will be at home on the computer or on the phone so your dogs will be with me almost all times of the day. I know what it's like to leave your dog babies with other people when you travel so I try to give them as much attention as I can. I'll also keep you well updated while you're gone as well.

About: Raised in a family of veterinarians and surrounded by pets daily, my love for animal care is lifelong. I started dog sitting for neighbors 6 years ago and fell in love with it so I’m currently pet sitting full-time. I spend as much time as possible with animals. When I’m not sitting, I enjoy fostering cats and taking rescue pups on 'Dog Days Out'. With a history of over 150 overnight stays and dozens of additional walks and drop-in visits, I’m eager to bring this care to your home and look after your pets as if they were my own. I offer peace of mind with transparent scheduling, regular updates, and plenty of pictures! I have lots of free time for your deserving pets. Ensuring they're happy, healthy, safe, and loved is my top priority and I stay with them as much as you’d like. I follow your instructions to provide the best care to your pets while respecting your home. I have experience taking care of dogs and cats from high energy to low energy as well as those with medicinal needs, trouble eating, and separation anxiety.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Southampton.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk.
