About: My name is Nick and I am a teacher in Chesterfield county looking to use my love for animals as a way to make some extra money over the summer. I have had dogs and cats growing up my whole life and currently have a dog named Bagel and a cat named Friday. I also have lots of experience dog/cat sitting for friends and family over the years ever since I was in high-school. I am a teacher so I won’t be working during the summers so I will have unlimited time during the day/night to take care of your pets and their needs! Once the school year starts I can do weekends and afternoon/nights! I have a lot of energy myself so if your pets love to get exercise/play around I am very up for that. I also try to be very thorough with the pet care instructions and will ask questions/for clarification to ensure I am giving your pet the best care as possible.

“Miles was so great with Kip. He walked him, went lots of pics and took absolutely fantastic care of our house too. Will absolutely book him again.”

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and have been a cat dad for six years now so I have a vast amount of experience with both animals and love both equally. Family friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs, including overnight stays for weeks at a time, when they go on vacation. I have also taken care of my friends' cats on multiple occasions and love the opportunity to do so. With pets I have administered medication, changed and cleaned litter boxes, and fed at appropriate times. I'm currently working part-time so will have plenty of time for visits with bog dogs and cats! I am also outdoorsy and athletic so would love to play outside with pets whenever I get the chance. Part-time shifts would be no earlier than 9:30 in the morning and no later than 9:30 in the evening, so I would always be free for early morning or evening visits. I have plenty of experience with dog sitting for family friends while staying in their house, so would be very comfortable with home visits or walking around the neighborhood.

“Celeste was great! They house sat for me and took care for my cats, sent me pictures and made sure they got attention, fed, and cleaned the litter box. Would definitely recommend them!”

“Thank you Marissa! Figgy was well cared for and were so thankful to be able to leave her at home instead of at a kennel. Marissa left the house spotless and was extremely flexible when our plans changed.”

About: I was raised in a family of animal lovers and helped to care for at least one family pup at all times. From my grandma's cat filled house to my own dogs, I have always been surrounded by a variety of furry friends so I'm very comfortable and experienced with caring for them. I began pet-sitting for neighbors as soon as I got into high school, and I'm very excited to meet some new furry friends! As a second year student at the University of Virginia home on winter break from classes, I've got a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care! I have a completely free schedule, which means I can provide consistent and attentive care for your furry friends, ensuring they get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention while you're away! Since I live in an apartment that doesn't allow animals, I don't offer in-home pet care services. Instead, I provide dedicated pet care at your convenience! I will make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy during our time together. I also maintain a flexible schedule to accommodate your needs, ensuring your furry friend receives the best care possible in a familiar environment. Your pet's well-being is my top priority!

“Victor was an exceptional guest and a wonderful caretaker for my two dogs. He followed all instructions carefully, maintained great communication while I was away, and most importantly, my dogs absolutely adored him. The house was spotless when I returned! Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. I would not hesitate to welcome him back again. Highly recommended!”
