House Sitting in Staunton

“Emma was so amazing with my girls! I was very hesitant to bring on a new sitter in the middle of a medical shit-show for my oldest dog. Emma showed up at 5:45 AM (That already earns her a 'you're amazing!' in my book) and stayed with my two younger girls so that I could take my oldest one for specialized care at a vet teaching hospital. She didn't mind that I didn't know when I'd get back. She didn't mind that I'm a complete hot mess express. The girls absolutely loved her, and I loved that the first thing she did at our meet and greet was play with them. When my middle girl didn't want to eat while I was gone, she even tried hand-feeding her. Emma is the MVP, and I know I will be using her many times in the future.”

“Took care of our two dogs (young hound and elderly rat terrier) for several days while my family and I were out of town. Kept constant updates which is important as our elderly dog does need sone extra care and attention. On top of caring for our dogs Gina took care of our weekly trash/recycling and daily mail. Sydney (her dog) also got along well with our younger dog and kept each other company by playing all day. I would definitely ask her to watch our dogs again.”

“Ashley is awesome and my dog Bandit just loves her. She took great care of my apartment and Bandit while I was away on a business trip. Highly recommend Ashley for all your dog sitting needs.”

About: Hi! I’m Katy, and I would love to care for your pets while you’re away. I’m a full-time music therapist, which means patience, attentiveness, and compassion are a big part of my everyday life. I bring that same calm and caring approach to every animal I look after. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing company, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you know they’re doing well. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away! I am available every day. Usually will check-in during mornings and evenings on weekdays. I am available all day for weekends. I am very thorough and flexible. Please message me so I can fit your exact schedule! I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and have a calm and safe environment. I also keep the home tidy and send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is doing well.

About: I have had my dog millie for 8 years now, which i begged for ever since middle school. I have trained her and she knows all the tricks, so i have experience in training especially when young. She is a vizsla poodle mix and if you know anything about vizslas is that they are very high energy dogs. She has been on many adventures with me and i am always down for some walks. Many family members have relied on me to care for their pups while away on vacations. I have been bathing/grooming my dog myself ever since i’ve had her so i am comfortable with bathing dogs and strong enough to bathe larger dogs. I have also cared for reptiles and have taken care of bearded dragons and leopard geckos if you need other animals cared for as well. I am currently working part time at a dental office as an assistant. I have Fridays plus weekends completely available as well as evenings on week days. My boss takes frequent trips so i also have a lot of free time during those days. I have a vizsla poodle mix that is 8 years old whom i have cared for since she was 6 months old. We also have another vizsla to keep her company and the play often. I have a fenced in backyard and have trained mine to potty on command (it’s routinely at this point). I do not have crates in my home so you will have to bring one if that is preferred. We have gates in the house to keep the puppers away from wandering around at night so there is an option to separate.

About: While I enjoy all animals, cats are my favorite. I have loved and cared for countless cats requiring various levels of care from kittens to seniors. I have experience administering shots and medications, personalized feeding, cleaning, and even birthing. I have studied and researched cat behaviors since I could read. I love each fur baby like they are my own. I'm the friend that always has cat food in their car or leaves the party to sit with the cat that's hiding in the closet. I work full-time, but I have all evenings and weekends free to spend time with your pets. If nearby, I can make quick trips during the day. I can dedicate as much time as needed during weekends. Overnights can be available depending on the situation. I am also able to keep cats at my home if preferred for more interaction time and socialization with my two friendly kitties. Dog (or cat) walks are limited to evenings or weekends. Must have a leash/harness. I let the animals take charge for the most part. I find that they will tell you what they need, and it is up to you to interpret them. Structure can be important, but following their lead and understanding their instincts can save you time and energy. I also try to be firm when it comes to meals and treats. (sometimes a challenge!) Health and longevity are most important to me.

About: I have been around dogs since I was born. I have been sitting for family and friends over the years, and have 3 dogs of my own. I have personally worked at Timbercrest Veterinary, and have been trained by professionals. I am currently working PRN as a CNA while I go to nursing school. I have extra time that I would love to spend with your pups. As I am coming into your lovely home, I will care for your pet as you would to make their life as familiar as possible.

About: I have been around dogs my whole entire life from my family having them to me adopting dogs as well as taking them in when needed and saving them! I have my own dog named Trappy and 2 cats named Pickles and Nico! I work a full time job Wednesday-Sunday until 4pm after that I am available as well as Monday and Tuesday all day. Sundays are excluded. Communication is key I can make arrangements! Feed Trappy with a half can of wet food in the morning, as well as split a wet can of food for the cats and put out dry food for free feeding. Keep the water fountain clean and full

About: I've loved and cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities since I was 13 years old. Over the past 7 years, I've built real experience with puppies, seniors, large breeds, and dogs with special needs or medications — giving each one the patience and attention they deserve. Whether I'm walking, dropping in, or house sitting, your dog is always in caring, capable hands. Neighbors and families have trusted me to treat their pets like my own, and that's a responsibility I take to heart. Multi-dog households are no problem — the more, the merrier! Being home from college means I have a flexible, wide-open schedule throughout the day — and I couldn't think of a better way to fill it than caring for pets! Morning, midday, or afternoon, I'll work around whatever fits you best. Consistency matters, and I'm committed to showing up reliably every time. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Before every visit I confirm how often you'd like updates so there are never any surprises. Your home and your furry family member will always be treated with total respect. Fair warning though — I love taking photos, so expect plenty of cute snapshots sent straight to your phone. Happy pet, happy owner — that's always the goal!

About: I have been taking care of my own dogs my whole life, and I've been helping my older sister take care of her pitbull while she's out of town since 2021 I have a lot of free time and some dogs of my own that can be play mates with yours, and if that's no good I also have rooms where the dogs can stay separated I have a fenced in front yard that dogs can freely roam and a really big backyard that is perfect for playing and running around in

About: I have had and cared for pets my entire life. Highly experienced with dogs and cats from puppy/kittens to seniors. I am comfortable enough with all animals that with some instruction I can care for anything. Experience in administering medication, even with cats. Patient with all animal personalities. I am very detail oriented and thorough. Reliable and great with instructions. I love animals and since semi-retiring I thought it would be nice to spend time caring for them when owners are on vacation or just need a little extra help. I practice reward based motivation. Semi-retired with plenty of time to play with and care for your animals. Happy to care for in home or take for walks. I can do multiple drop-ins a day.

About: I have been taking care of animals for 12 years. I have had dogs my whole life and currently have a 4 year old Maltese and a 2 year old Siberian Husky I am working full time at Dentistry just for kids. I am also a business student part time. I do classes online so it will not Interfere with me spending time with your pets. I take care of 2 animals constantly and I love doing it. I have a fenced In heard and they get play time everyday. I also take my dogs on long walks around my neighborhood or I will take them to a park down the street and walk with them there. I also try to take them to the dog park once a week to get some social interaction with other doggies

About: I have always loved having pets, especially since I grew up with two of them in my household. One of them was a Cane Corso and the other was a Chihuahua Terrier mix. Additionally, my grandmother has three tiny dogs that I have had the pleasure of growing up with. My love for animals, especially dogs, has inspired me to pursue a career as a zoologist. In fact, I even took vet classes while attending Duncanville High School. I have a balanced schedule that allows me to take care of my pets. As a student athlete and animal enthusiast, I'm currently home full time having recently graduated from college. I have a fenced back yard and a open front yard. As far as dog waking, I live in a circular community which make it very easy to walk around, yet get a exercise as well

About: I am truly fascinated about animals of all kinds, especially the “weird” ones! Growing up in North Carolina, I naturally had a passion for the outdoors, and the creatures who inhabit it. I quickly learned to have respect for these animals and have always wanted to learn more. I have years of personal experience caring for and loving dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, geckos, and freshwater fish, but I am comfortable with many other species as I also have experience as an exotic veterinary assistant. I will always listen to every comment or concern, and make sure I am 100% available for all of your animal’s needs! I will always personally conduct a “history” with you, about your pet(s) before any booking! I feel like it is important to note certain information so I can look for any changes during our time together. I always log eating, drinking, defecation, and behaviors so I can ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible! Lastly, I understand that I am being entrusted with your animal’s care, and I take that very seriously. If there is ever a slight cause for concern, you will be contacted immediately! I am working part-time on Fridays and Saturdays currently. Please refer to my calendar for more details! I look forward to working with you and your pet(s)! I always approach animals with care and ease. I am never forceful or yell, and try to be as attentive to their needs as possible!

“This is the second time we have had Desi watch our pit bull and my dog loves her! Desi follows her medication schedule and sends me lovely pictures throughout the day! We will always have her watch my girl!”

“Tasha did a great job dog sitting Nala for me! She was kind, attentive, and caring toward Nala and was willing to work with me on scheduling! It was so nice to be able to go out of town for a night and have peace of mind knowing my girl was being taken care of by a fellow animal lover :)”

About: Vet nurse 10+ years. CPR Certified. The best quality care for your furry family members. I am trained and qualified to ensure that your pet has everything they want and need. I actively work at several veterinary hospitals in the area. I make my own schedule so I can be flexible. My professional career is directly related to pet care so it’s a huge part of my life. I take pet care very seriously. I love animals and treat them with compassion and respect. If they have an accident or make a mess I clean it and make sure they always have clean, dry, and comfortable bedding. Food and water bowls are filled and cleaned regularly. I will be as involved or uninvolved as they need to be. I let them show me what degree of interaction they’re comfortable with and I meet there where they’re at. If they are a lone wolf but still like to hang out from a distance that’s fine. Over the course of my career, I’ve been trained for almost every scenario regarding cats and dogs in almost any imaginable situation. With my emergency and critical care background I am always passively monitoring their vitals, general condition, and i will respond quickly, calmly, and appropriately should an issue or emergency arise. There is no better option for your pets care.
