About: I have been surrounded by all sorts of pets since childhood - from dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, and fish! There isn’t an animal that I don’t love. I am a pet parent myself to 3 incredible dogs, including a pit bull, Saint Bernard, and a German Wirehaired Pointer. I have experience with specific breeds of dogs who have very specific needs and love to participate in their training! Pets are family to me and I would love to make sure your family is well taken care of, always! I am currently transitioning from full time to part time work so I will have even more time to play and care for your pets! I work 9 am until 5:30 pm on the days that I do work so I am able to maintain a routine schedule for your animals if that is what they need! I have experience caring for multiple dogs at a time, especially dealing with different personalities, training needs, play styles, and temperaments. I am able to gauge any situation to ensure safety is the top priority.
About: Hey! I am currently in school to be a vet! I can walk dogs 24/7 and give them all the loving! This would be a great way for me to expand my jobs with watching your dogs! I usually am up by 8am and spend most of the day with my dog while I do schooling at home. I’m mostly free of the day besides for leaving for work or getting my brother! I have a small dog who I feed, walk & play with. We do have a dog run in my apartments and I always take my dog out to play with his toys. I also love taking him for runs.
“She was so great with my dog and I scheduled her very last minute and she was able to work me in! I appreciate her greatly and she took great care of my dog and my home! Thank you again!!!”
About: I am a retired registered nurse with a special love for cats, especially seniors and those who need a little extra patience and gentle care. I have years of experience caring for my own cats as well as helping friends and neighbors with their cats while they travel. Because of my nursing background, I am very comfortable giving oral medications, insulin injections, eye drops, topical treatments, and monitoring for changes in appetite, hydration, litter box habits, and behavior. I understand how important routine is for cats and I take great care to keep their environment calm and consistent. I am experienced with shy, anxious, and senior cats who need a quiet presence and slow, respectful handling. I pay close attention to subtle changes and will always communicate updates so you feel at ease while you are away. My goal is to provide a peaceful, low-stress experience where your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for in your absence.

I go to school and work part time but I always make time for animals! I go to college and I work part time but I have plenty of time for animals! I have my own pup and I have plenty of love to give out!!

About: Hello, I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and turtles. For the past four years, I’ve mostly been house-sitting/taking care of a good neighbor/friend turtle who I love dearly. I’ve put her to bed and cleaned her cage, along with feeding her while sitting with her for 3+ hours most days. I’ve learned to care for pets as if they are my own and love all animals. :)) Pet care is a vital and seamless part of my daily and weekly routine. Over the past four years, I have taken care of dogs, cats, and especially a neighbor's turtle, who I have grown to love dearly. Each day, I ensure that she is fed and her cage is cleaned, and I spend over three hours sitting with her, ensuring she feels loved and cared for. This routine has taught me to care for pets as if they were my own and deepened my love for all animals. Incorporating pet care into my schedule is crucial to me. I ensure my pet is happy and healthy, from morning walks to evening snuggles. Every activity, whether feeding, brushing, or playing, is an opportunity to deepen our bond and show my pets the love and attention they deserve. Balancing pet care with my other responsibilities, such as my involvement in ROTC at Norwich University for the past three years, has honed my discipline and time management skills. In addition to my ROTC commitments this summer, I am taking summer courses and have lacrosse practices. Despite these busy schedules, I always ensure that pet care remains integral to my routine, reflecting my dedication to their well-being. As a dedicated pet caregiver/Owner, my approach to pet care is tailored to the pet's needs and the environment. I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing space in my own home or while providing services for clients. This includes regular feeding schedules, enriching activities such as walks or playtime, administering medications if needed, and maintaining cleanliness through regular grooming and sanitation practices. Additionally, I strive to provide ample affection and attention to ensure each pet feels valued and loved, whether under my roof or in the comfort of a client's home.
About: I’ve cared for cats for over 10 years and truly enjoy getting to know each cat’s unique personality and routine. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, play with, clean up after, and care for their cats while they’re away. I understand that cats need patience, comfort, and consistency, and I always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or senior, I’ll provide loving and attentive care while keeping you updated with messages and photos.

“We are so appreciative of Ricardo and his family opening up their home for our dogs. Taking it slow and making sure they have a good time while we are getting settled into our new house.

About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child! A fun little backstory about me...most teenagers get jobs to have money to go to the mall or whatever it is that they want to do, well my goal was to save up all the money I made and get my own puppy. That was one of the best things I ever did, I had her for 16 years. Other than having dogs all my life, I also have kennel technician and veterinary assistant experience. Before I moved back to North Carolina, I was working the front desk at a non profit animal hospital. I feel that I am a very genuine and good hearted person. I am willing to walk/jog/run/play fetch, honestly, I will do pretty much anything to make them happy while you’re away and would love to build a relationship with your fur baby!! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open every day!♥️. It’s just my 4 year old and I until about 4pm Monday-Friday, so as long as your fur baby is good with kids anytime from early morning until then works! After 4 I have open availability without him (incase your baby isn’t good with kids). My weekends are generally 100% open so I’d love to help in any way that I can! Hope to hear from you!! 🤗 I can care for your pet(s) in my home or yours. Whichever you prefer. I promise I will always make sure that they feel comfortable, loved, and happy.
“Nichole was awesome with my Husky Skye! She was very attentive and kept me updated throughout the day with how she was doing as well as sent pictures! I would recommend her to any of my pet parent friends!”
About: I'm a high school math teacher and my wife works from home full time. Looking to watch after your little guys so we don’t have to get another one. Our dog Penny, has recently passed however we would like to keep her pictures and memory alive on this profile*. Most days I'm up early and dont mind being active and taking morning walks. Experience wise ive taken care of neighbors cats and dogs as a teen and have had 2 dogs myself over my adult years as well as turtles if you care about that. Dropping off your pet at my place seems like the best but I'm open to stopping by your place if need be. One of us is almost always at home full time to care for your pup. My wife loves snuggles and always looking for another blanket buddy We have a large yard and one friendly toddler looking for her next best friend. Overall it is a quiet home with lots of space.
“This family was great with my pomchi! They showed my puppy nothing but love and she loved them in return! I had to book with them last minute and they were okay with it and very flexible with their time and availability. I would definitely book again! Thank you so much!”
“Eugene is one of the nicest people you will ever meet! He watched Brinkley for us (2nd time) while we took a quick day trip. Brinkley was so excited to see Eugene when we arrived, and I know he had a fun day. Thanks again, Eugene!”
About: We have always had a dog in the home and always will - that's a rule of life. We love the outdoors and have some chickens and plan on getting goats. Animals connect us with nature and with each other and teach us patience and love. Want to return the favor of dog watching for those that helped me throughout my navy career. I'm a nurse currently working M-F 8hr type shifts, and can be available for potty breaks or outdoor breaks. My husband also works the same style shifts and we have a live-in au pair for childcare, but I am your dedicated sitter! We have 3 acres for your dog to play in and a friendly dog and toddler. We have a fenced dog run if needed and space for crates. We also have extra collars for our invisible fence.
“I will be continuing to take my pup to Priscilla as long as she will have her. Honestly my senior citizen pup has never been alone and lost her companion recently, Priscilla has comforted her and put me at ease. I cannot begin to describe how grateful I am for her.”
“I needed a sitter for Sophie Grace at the last minute for a very long event, and Christianna came through without hesitation. As a devoted dog mom, leaving Sophie is never easy. In fact, I was so emotional that I cried when I dropped her off. Christianna immediately reassured me that Sophie would be well cared for, and she was absolutely right. Throughout the day, she sent updates and pictures that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Sophie was receiving plenty of love and attention. The true testament came at pickup. Sophie was excited to see me, but then turned around and went back to give Christianna more kisses through the window! That spoke volumes. Knowing that my baby felt safe, comfortable, and loved meant everything to me. I am beyond grateful for the care Christianna provided and would not hesitate to trust her with Sophie again. Highly recommend!”
“What can I say about Lorraine’s daughters and husband who watched my furbaby yesterday!??!? They were absolutely AMAZING—10/10!!! I was 100 percent at peace after meeting this beautiful family and putting Sophie in their hands! I will definitely be booking with this family again and again!!!!”
“Make sure you ask to receive updates when you want them. Landon is flexible and responsive, with professional communication. Our puppy also seemed happy after spending the day there.”
“Kathy was so awesome, our dog had lots of dog friends to play with and a nice backyard area to run around. Kathy even offered to watch our dog a little later in the evening so we could go get dinner before heading back to our hotel for the night. Thanks so much Kathy, you rock!”
“I can't say enough good things about Dustin. I met him this morning when I dropped off Blaze, my 4 month old lab. We spent a good amount of time talking as my boy was introduced do some of the other dogs. He answered all my questions, gave me plenty of tips & suggestions for specific situations and things I had planned for the future. He really put me at ease which is saying a lot because I don't have a ton of dog experience. When I picked Blaze up this afternoon Dustin showed me a few videos he took, we talked a bit more about puppies in general, etc - I could go on and on. Suffice it to say it's clear he enjoys working with our furry friends, he's really good at it, and I intend to bring Blaze for more visits soon, maybe some training too.”

About: My name is Kayela but you can call me Kaye. I am a nurse in Virginia Beach. But my real other passion is animals. A year prior to going into human medicine, I worked in the I veterinary field as a veterinary technician/assistant. I actually had plans to go to vet school, and then Covid hit; my pathway changed a little. But I don’t want that to stop me from making a difference in the animal world. I worked in the professional veterinary field for 5 years. I worked with all breeds, species, shapes, and colors of animals. I’ve worked with large animals, small animals, diseased and disabled animals. Therefore it would no reason for me not to accept your pet. I have animals of my own as well, 1 large breed dogs and 1 domestic short hair cat. I will love your animals like my own, cuddling included. I do have an extensive history of skills related to animal care as well. If you or your family have animals questions, concerns, or just curiosity in general about your animals well being, feel free to ask! I am starting to build a small clientele currently. I am open right now. Schedule could change. But just message me and we can work something out. I care for my animals more than the average person, due to the fact that I have worked in the animal medicine field. I believe a lot of issues/illnesses are preventable based on how you care for your pet. They are treated like humans in my opinion. They deserve the same attention, the same outdoor time, the same affection. They will be fed accordingly. I will also provide food recommendations as well as portion sizes based on my assessment. You can choose to follow my recommendations or continue to follow your own advice. I believe I can be very helpful with you and your care for your pets.
About: I changed the direction my life was going and found the REASON was Animal Care. I began volunteering at 2 local Humane Societies in 2013. Very shortly thereafter became employed at both Societies = working 7 days a week with animals. I adopted my first 2 pets (torti cats named Cali & Ava) in the Fall of 2013. Adopted a 3rd torti cat in the Spring of 2014 (named Hallie B). I adopted a chihuahua in the Fall of 2016 (named Clara my grandmother’s name). With the exception of Hallie B they have all crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The 1st in December 2020 then June 2021 and most recently in May of this year :-( 🐾🐾🐾 They were adopted as Seniors. They were the best. After 4 years of Humane Society work I changed direction again in 2017 to a more professional aspect of Animal Care becoming employed at a Veterinary Hospital as a Kennel Attendant for over 7 years. I have performed a number of cat drop-ins around the Gloucester area for various residents affiliated with the Humane Society. One such assignment lasted for almost two months while the cat’s owners traveled to Florida for the winter. I currently work (outside of Animal Care) OVERNIGHT 40 hours WEDNESDAY thru SATURDAY. Those days I am usually available for Animal Care from 8am to 2pm. Sunday thru Tuesday I am totally available. There is some flexibility with my overnight work and the possibility of a little accommodation for Animal Care. I also have to spare some time for my own cat’s care. Quality. Compassionate. Care. is what I provide pets. I want them to have the creature comforts that make them feel all warm and comfy and content.

I know every dog is different and I am able to adapt to their needs. They are not just dogs, but companions. I’m currently working part time and I have a customizable schedule, so I have open availability when it comes to caring for your babies. I am available on weekdays and weekends. I don’t have any fur babies of my own right now so I have a pet and child free home. I have a front and backyard for your baby to play. They will also be in a clean, cozy and smoke free environment. I can adapt to whatever is needed for the care of your fur babies.

About: Anyone who knows me knows how much I love animals. I’ve grown up with cats, dogs, and other pets my whole life, and over the years I’ve learned to understand their unique personalities, needs, and wants. From playful and energetic to shy or reserved, I know how to adjust my approach so every pet feels comfortable, happy, and secure. Caring for animals has been a big part of my life, and I’ve gained over 14 years of hands-on experience providing attention, companionship, and reliable care that helps pets thrive. I have a lot of time on my hands and have always wanted to provide pet care, but I hadn’t had the opportunity until now. My weekly schedule is flexible, which allows me to offer consistent visits, walks, playtime, or companionship depending on each pet’s needs. I love going on walks, spending time with animals, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. This is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make it a priority to structure my time so every pet gets the attention, care, and love they deserve. I currently care for pets in two separate homes, where I share responsibilities with my family. At one home, I help care for two cats, making sure they are fed, their litter is clean, and they receive attention and companionship throughout the day. At another home, I help care for two dogs, taking them on walks, feeding them, and providing playtime and supervision. Even though I’m not the sole caregiver, I am actively involved in all aspects of their daily care and routines, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for.

I even took her to college with me for 4 years. I also took care of a Scottish terrier when we had her when I was in high school. I currently help take care of and train my grandparents schnauzers. I have taken my dog on many walks and bath her weekly. I have experience taking care of a cat as well as horses! I am adept at dealing with dogs with separation anxiety, PTSD, and big personalities. I currently work full time and my schedule varies based on the week and holidays. I typically have off Tuesday, Sundays so I will be available all day those days. I am also usually off by 3 at work. I have a fenced in backyard but due to my dog India being so small we typically keep her on a leash when taking her outside. For my 2 lab puppies they just wander the backyard. I do request a meet and greet for most bookings for safety reasons for new clients. At your home I will ensure all instructions are followed based on the needs of your pets!

“Eric and his family were great for our Evey girl. Even went as fall as meeting first in order to ensure we were a good fit/uncomfortable with leaving her. Eric was extremely responsive when I would check in. Flexible on pick up and drop off times. Evey is happy to be home for sure, but no doubt was well taken care of by the family. Thanks!”
