House Sitting in Troutville

“Emily was great! Very communicative and transparent. We will definitely consider Emily again for future bookings.”

Alex M.

“She came over earlier in the day to do a meet and greet that I had asked for and then came back later to watch them for me. She was very nice and even caught my puppy on a few things and corrected him before I did during the meet and greet 👌 I will be booking again!”

About: With over 20 years of hands-on animal care experience, including veterinary tech training, rescue rehabilitation, special needs support, and behavioral management, I offer comprehensive, individualized care. I specialize in working with pets who need extra patience, medical oversight, and emotional understanding. Whether due to age, disability, or recovery needs. As a nursing student, my class schedule is balanced to allow ample time for the pets in my care. Your pet will never be left alone. My trusted partner and child are home full-time to ensure continuous supervision, love, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my highest priority. I maintain a clean, secure, enrichment-focused environment designed to meet the needs of each individual pet. With specialized training in veterinary care, behavior management, and emergency response, I am fully equipped to handle special needs, post-surgical care, and customized medical support. When your pet is with me, they are treated like cherished family. Always loved, always safe.

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was born. My family had working border collies on the farm as well as a hound. One of our dogs had puppies when I was younger and I assisted my sister when her dog had puppies so I am very familiar with caring for puppies during the first weeks of their lives. I have also had 2 of my own puppies that I potty trained as well as basic commands. In addition to puppies, I've had dogs in every stage of life. I currently have 5 dogs that range from 3 yrs to 17yrs old. I am currently a stay at home fur mom with a crafting side hobby. During the week I am available for mid day walks and potty breaks and on the weekends I am available for overnight pet sitting in your home as well as mid day walks/potty breaks. I feed my dogs twice a day and are allowed out into a fenced in yard for play and potty time several times a day. I have an entire tall cabinet dedicated strictly to treats and toys for my dogs and cats so it's safe to say my pets are well taken care of and spoiled. Your pet will be taken care of with the same love I give my pets. I will also treat your home with respect.

About: My family owned an animal kennel rescue for a few years. It has given me very useful knowledge of what to do in emergency situations. It gives me a respect for the animal(s). I have had to act quickly before when an animal was hit by a car or bitten by another animal. So as drastic as those two things are I just want you to know I have been in those types of situations so if anything would happen to your fur baby I am ready to respond. I will go above and beyond to make sure your little baby comes home just as happy if not happier. I know how being away from mom/dad can make them sad. I want the owners to enjoy their trip or their day at work to the best of their abilities and not have to worry if their pet is being taken care of correctly. No more wondering, book me!! I look forward in meeting your pet. I am currently a full stay at home pet mom so I am here to watch your pet any time of day any day of week. We have a fair size yard for the dogs to play in. Some is fenced in and we are working on getting the rest of it enclosed. I do allow pets on the furniture. I will respect your rules though. I don’t want the animals to get confused. As long as they didn’t just play in a mud puddle, We will continue to follow your rules. I do not want them to get confused when it times to go back home or for you to come home. I will respect anything you would want me to follow. I am a very easy going person. And we look forward in meeting your pet.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and have owned several of my own. Friends and family have relied on me for sitting/walking/bathing and grooming. I am a full time mom to 2 twin girls and work personal care part time. I’d love to help out with families that need pet care in their home. I have a fenced in yard and a 11 lb miniature poodle that’s very sweet that just wants to play and snuggle. I also have a crate if your dog would need crated and plenty of pet food/dishes/treats if needed.

About: I’m a college student with a super flexible schedule and a lifelong love for animals! I grew up with dogs, cats, ferrets, birds, and hamsters — so I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of pets. I’ve also been the go-to sitter for friends and family, helping with everything from walks and playtime to overnight stays. I always treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm a college student currently on summer break, so my schedule is very open! I'm available most hours throughout the week and can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs. If I ever have limited availability, I’ll be sure to update my calendar in advance. 😊 I have an open yard and can leash dogs as needed for outside time, which is also perfect for walks and play. Pets are welcome on the furniture unless you’ve trained otherwise. If I’m boarding in your home, I’ll be sure to follow your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy.
