Pet Sitting in Street

About: My Dad introduced me to Rover! He cares for 13 regular clients and taught me everything I know about pet sitting. I had a dog for most of my childhood and lost him just recently, in January. I love caring for pets of all shapes and sizes with all their needs. It's great having energy in the house again! I am in school part-time on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (some Fridays) till 2pm. I work evenings as a swim instructor, so afternoon check ins and playdates are available! Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays are my big free days! I do not live alone! I'm housed by my wonderful parents who are willing to assist in whatever way (if needed). I have lots of spare time between school and work for check-ins and walks! Our house used to be home to my childhood doggy not too long ago, we still have bowls and toys they can play with! Walks are common in our neighborhood because fences are not. I have used harnesses, collars, and control collars in walks so I have experience. I will customize my care to you and your pets need, any type of feed wet or dry, any type of personality, no two pets are the same!

About: I am a young, healthy adult who is very strong and fast, and is very comfortable with working with dogs of all sizes and ages. I will be available all summer this year for any service. I am currently working full-time at Subaru with a complex schedule. I usually have three days off two times a month and five days twice every month I am very strong and athletic, capable of portraying empathy towards animals, and love to make a pet feel loved and cared for like family.

About: Since 2014, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and pawsonalities — from shy kittens to spicy dogs, plus chickens, bunnies, and even a hermit crab. 🐶🐱🐔🐰🐟 Fostering over 200 pets has made me fluent in body language (pet edition). Whether your pet wants snuggles, space, or serious playtime, I tailor each visit to what makes them happiest. I’m comfortable giving medications* and teaching basic obedience. I also make the experience great for you! I’m a reliable communicator, send plenty of cute pics, and if your pet’s up for it, you’ll come home to a handmade surprise “from your pet.” *If medications are required to be given an additional fee will be negotiated and applied before the booking is confirmed. Pet care fits naturally into my routine — it’s something I genuinely enjoy! I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, with a flexible schedule that allows me to adapt as needed. I am able to care for about a dozen pets per week and I only book one house-sitting family at a time to ensure each pet gets my full attention. Walks and drop-ins can easily be added into my day, especially Monday through Friday. Pet care is both relaxing and rewarding for me — I love building relationships with the pets I visit, and I think they look forward to our time together just as much as I do! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, starting by learning their pet’s established routine to ensure they feel comfy and happy. I gather all the important info — like vet contacts, emergency numbers, and where cleaning supplies live (just in case!). I’m a tidy sitter too: I take out the trash and scoop up any yard “presents” to keep things fresh. Most importantly, I listen closely to both owner and pet to discover what makes each furry friend feel safe and loved, then tailor my care to their unique personality.

About: I grew up helping take care my two wonderful family dogs as well as occasionally dog-sat for friends and family. Throughout college I had multiple jobs dog-sitting ranging from checking in occasionally and providing meals to full house sitting. I work full time but am typically available outside of standard working hours. I am available to stay with your pup during the week and if local can give potty breaks every ~4 hrs. I am very familiar with caring for other’s pets and work well with instruction to take care of your family exactly how you would normally. I’m happy to provide updates while you’re away on all the fun your furry friend is having.

“Dakota did several drop in visits for my two dogs and they love her so much! She’s the absolute best. I will definitely book her again. It was nice to go away and not feel stressed about leaving my dogs at a kennel.”

“Kendall was wonderful. She even was able to pet our feral cat, who is a bit shy. We definitely will be using her again.”

Kathy B.

“Laura was a fantastic sitter for our fur baby Scout. She took great care of him with his meals, playtime and walks. She connected to him and went above and beyond when our power went out temporarily in the house , contacting us immediately with honest concern for his welfare and comfort. In addition, she noted a sore on his underbelly and alerted us with pictures and offered to take to the vet if needed. Will definitely request Laura for all of our coverage!”

Nancy H.

“I can’t recommend Emily enough! She took wonderful care of my dogs, making sure they were happy, well-fed, and got plenty of attention and sent daily pictures. What really stood out was how they went above and beyond when there was an unexpected mess—she cleaned it up quickly and thoroughly without hesitation and contacted me with concerns. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my pups (and my home!) were in such capable and caring hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Emily again!”

About: Working at a Veterinary Hospital before going to college absolutely solidified my love for animals and caring for them! I love learning their unique traits and I can’t wait to bond with your pets! I’m currently a full time student at JMU but I’m looking to add pet sitting into my routine! With warm weather coming up, I know how important it is to find a reliable sitter for vacations! I can’t wait to meet your pets! Caring for your pets in the safety of your home is important to me! Allowing them to show me around and playing with their favorite toys is so exciting!

About: I stand out because of my lifelong experience growing up with animals of all kinds, including horses, cats, rabbits, and hamsters. I also worked at a pet hotel, where I cared for puppies and anxious dogs who missed their families, so I understand how to keep pets calm, comfortable, and happy. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different temperaments and needs. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, giving me even more hands-on experience with a wide range of animals. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily schedule because I’m currently taking a year off before starting grad school. This gives me plenty of time and flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care. I’m available Monday through Sunday, and can accommodate visits throughout the day to fit your pet’s needs. I provide care through in-home visits, as I do not host pets in my own home due to my cat not being comfortable around new animals. In my clients’ homes, I focus on keeping pets in their familiar environment and routine to reduce stress. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, playtime, and any needed exercise. I’m also very attentive to their behavior and comfort, especially for shy or anxious pets, and always make sure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Aria was amazing! She took such good care of our puppy and still made sure our older dogs got plenty of love and attention too. She kept in touch with great communication, which I really appreciated. Everyone was happy and relaxed when we got home. Definitely booking with her again!”

“Colleen is the best. We have used her numerous times and she always gives our kitty Max lots of love and attention, will definitely use her again.”

“Mason was a phenomenal pet sitter. She was able to fulfill my need for a pet sitter during a holiday weekend, given less than 2 weeks notice. Mason gave prompt reports on my cat and even fed my aquarium fish and watered my indoor plants. She was patient with my feisty indoor cat, responding mindfully to my cat’s communication cues demanding space. I highly recommend Mason! 5/5 stars”

“Jade was amazing while my husband and I were away. She was very flexible with some of our scheduling issues and her communication was outstanding. There was a bad storm that came through and she was still able to check on our little ones with the power being out. Very thankful for her while we were away.”

Ashley H.
