About: I have many years of personal experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I love animals and will treat your pets as if they were my own. I work full time, but I’m available before 9 and after 5 M-F. I have all day availability on Saturday and Sunday. I might be able to go during my lunch if close by. I have a fenced in yard. I great responsibility to care for my animals. I make sure to keep dogs in a leash when walking them and to use caution crossing the street and around cars.

About: I’ve taken care of cats for 10 years and I have one of my own. I’ve dealt with feisty manecoons to little cuddley kittens. I’m a litter box pro!

“Angie was great! Kitties were happy!”

“Talia did an amazing job taking care of my shy cat (former barn kitty who is skittish with new people) while I was away from home for a few days. She came for a meet and greet beforehand, kept me updated throughout each day I was away, shared photos, asked questions, and went above and beyond basic tasks by taking care of house chores. She’s truly a caring person who knows how much fur babies are loved by their owners. It takes a wonderful person to understand and have patience with their little personalities and needs. I appreciate knowing my cat was in such caring hands while I was away!”

“Liz was a wonderful caretaker of our 13 year-old male cat. He did not make it easy for her as he was a bit cranky, but she hung in there and did a great job.”

About: As a cat owner and former foster, I understand how to make cats feel safe and comfortable, especially shy or anxious ones. I’ve cared for a variety of cats, from energetic kittens to senior cats needing extra patience and attention. I tailor my care to each cat’s unique personality, whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, or gentle grooming. I also ensure litter boxes stay clean and fresh, creating a stress-free environment for your feline friend.

About: Have much patience as I helped raise litters of puppies from 17 on, experience with IVDD (intervertebral disk disease) paralyzed, expressing bladders, dog grooming assistant for 2 yrs, cancer/kidney failure, comfort cares, giving meds, behavior/aggression issues and more :) Currently work another part time flexible job. I don’t have a sitter for my dog so I would have to bring him along if it’s for an extended stay. He is very dog and cat friendly. I am a hard worker and learn things quickly. Pets have always been my passion to be around :) I always feed my pets before myself and they go out to use restroom the same most times. Safety is my top priority! Respect their space and property always.

About: I just moved to Virginia in December with my 2 cats, I’m excited to learn the area and meet friendly faces and cute critters! Currently working to finish my bachelors degree in communications. I have fostered dogs for 4 years through Save-A-Bull and Ruff Start Rescue with my family. All of which have been pit bulls or pit bull mixes. I have grown up around dogs of all sizes ranging from Pomeranians to Great Danes and have loved all of them :) I've also cared for goats, sheep, turkey/ chickens, cattle, reptiles, small rodents, and fish so I'm comfortable with all animals! I have been passionate about animals all my life and started pet sitting back in 2012 as a tween for family and friends. Once I realized how much I enjoyed being able to care for animals I decided to make it my side job through high school into college. Hard to believe it’s been 14 years now! I’ve done everything from giving senior dogs their meds in hot dogs to taking care of small farmsteads. I'm able to give oral medications if needed and can work with dietary/ movement restrictions. I have taken care of special needs dogs (diabetic, epileptic, post surgery). I haven’t given intravenous medicine, but I am certainly willing to learn with the right client. I'm looking forward to filling some of my free time engaging with dogs! I love going on walks, but I also love playing fetch and tug of war. I am also more than happy to watch any other critters you may have- barn animals included :) I’m still settling into Virginia after moving away from the cities so I haven’t established a set routine, especially since I haven’t found a day job. I can’t be gone for too many days since I have cats of my own and it’s not fair to my roommates to be saddled with them. I always follow the instructions given to me by my clients. Whenever I am unsure I always ask for clarification. I’m extra careful about opening and closing doors, keeping objects of of reach, and keeping up with day to day schedules.

“Had such a GREAT experience with Sav! She knows exactly what she is doing and was SO adaptable her first time getting to know our dogs quirks. Truly, it means so much as we have a golden retriever who struggles on walks and is anxious! We will absolutely be using her again as our dog walker!”

About: I have two cats of my own. My tuxedo lu has been around since I was super little, I’ve carried her with me everywhere i go! My fluffy boy moo was a rescue a few years ago, he’s a big sweetie. I have a dog named ollie that I share custody of with my mom. he comes with me on all of the road trips and hikes. I’ve sat for family members and people in my area since I was 15. I also have reptile experience caring for chameleons and snakes. I’m here for any pet! Taking care of animals is my passion ☺️ I do photography full time so my schedule stays pretty flexible. I’m typically available on holidays! I don’t mind to travel a little for your furry friends, so don’t worry too much if you’re far away! I love spending most of my time with my cats. No matter what I’m doing—they’re at my feet or on my lap. My cat moo comes on hikes with me! I enjoy getting fur babies out of the house into the world. I have a dog cover on the back seats in my car. I will always reach out to ask before traveling with your dog, this is not necessary, just an offer! :)

“Julia is so great with my dog! She sent good photos and provided thoughtful feedback.”

About: My background in training dogs through agility classes, working with shy and special-needs animals, fostering cats, and managing dogs of all sizes at a daycare makes me uniquely qualified. I’ve also cared for farm animals, including geese, and I’m skilled in pet grooming. My patience, reliability, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality ensure your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. I have a steady work-life balance, working Monday-Friday from 6 AM to 3 PM. Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I am available for early morning, evening, and weekend visits. On Mondays, I travel to Duluth for agility training, so I can take pet-sitting jobs in that area. I’m also willing to drive within a 100-mile radius of my home to provide care, ensuring flexibility for pet owners who need reliable and loving service. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and routine to create a stress-free and comfortable environment. I’m experienced with shy animals and work patiently to help them feel safe. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pets receive attentive care, from feeding and playtime to maintaining a clean environment, including litter box upkeep. Whether it’s keeping a routine, providing enrichment, or offering extra care for special needs pets, I always prioritize their well-being.
