I highly recommend her to take care of your pet.”

About: I’m currently a nursing student enrolled at JMU! I’ve cared for animals all of my life and have had lots and lots of experience and different jobs and have owned lots of fun different pets as well. I care for all animals big and small! I have pets of my own so I’m always caring for them! I’m home for the summer now so my schedule is open and I’m willing to work with you. I have owned animals my whole life so I am familiar with how caring for animals go. I am willing to cater to your animals needs in any way and will always keep a close eye on them.
About: My name is Sadie. I am an 20 year-old, graduate student, at Shenandoah University. I love hanging around dogs, cats, or honestly any animal. I have been exposed to all types of animals from farm to regular housepets. I was raised living with a cat and taking care of chickens. I also would help out neighbors with watching their pets; started doing so around the age of 12. I have quite a few experiences under my belt with dogs ranging from 5 month olds through veterans. My dog is an American Pitbull Terrier and is now 3 years old. I love him and any animal I am responsible for with all I have. When I am home from school, I am more than likely open to any schedule. Most likely what works for you, will work for me! As of right now, I do have another part-time, low hour job and internship. Even with those two, I have plenty of free time to come help you with your pets! Your pets will be cared for by me just as much as you do for them. I am a hard worker who will always give 110% into caring for your pets. Whatever you ask of me to do, I will do my best to complete to your and your pets' satisfaction. I also will provide you with pictures and updates whenever your pets and I do anything.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. My family and I grew up with a family dog and then got a puppy in high school that we trained. Even would watch the neighbors pets when they went away. Most recently, I have watched/stayed with a dog when the family traveled. Love all animals, but especially dogs! I work from home and on my own schedule. I have the flexibility to take dogs on walks, bathroom breaks, and even stay with the pet when needed! Working for yourself has great perks when it comes to taking care of our lovely pets. I live in an apartment complex, but have sidewalks for walks. We also have two dog parks. I love staying active, so walks for me are enjoyable! I don’t have any pets of my own currently, so I love being able to love on others pets!

“I highly recommend Chelsea as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. If you’re looking for someone who is not only dependable, but someone who genuinely loves and cares about animals then you have found the right person for the job. Chelsea provided care for my chihuahua from 2014-2017 and truly cared for him as if he were her own animal. I know I could leave my pup with her whether it was to run errands or go on trips and I knew he was in safe hands always. She is a great communicator and promptly notifies you of any issues going on with your animal. I give her my highest regards!”
