Wonderful communication, flexible with scheduling changes and sent us pictures every day! We will definitely ask for her next time we go out of town!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have spent the last 3 years volunteering with Hope for Life Rescue and Penninsula Regional Animal Shelter, working hands on with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from bottle feeding kittens and puppies to caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m the go-to person for family and friends whenever they need someone reliable and loving to care for their pets, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight boarding. I have experience administering medications, handling nervous or shy animals, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, compassion, and plenty of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are already a big part of my life. I volunteer regularly with a local rescue and animal shelter, foster when needed, and I also run my own business from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise, and my own pets (two cats and one dog) are all friendly, well socialized, and up to date on their vaccines. My dog, Mercury, just turned two and is full of energy. She loves meeting other dogs and enjoys playdates, which makes her a great companion for social pups who enjoy interaction and play. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy environment where both pets and pet parents feel comfortable and confident.

About: Headline: Cat Lover & Experienced Foster | Reliable Drop-Ins, Medication Care & Calm, Attentive Support Experience: I have a strong background in feline care through both personal experience and long-term fostering. I’m a cat mom to my two cats, Jupiter and Luna, who are both 3 years old, and caring for them has given me a deep understanding of daily routines, behavior, and the little things that help cats feel safe and comfortable. I have also fostered kittens from the bottle-feeding stage through adulthood, including long-term care for rescue kittens that required extra attention and consistency. I’m experienced with bottle feeding, litter box training, medication administration, and handling common health concerns like fleas, stomach issues, and upper respiratory infections. I know cats thrive best with patience, routine, and trust. Whether your cat needs quiet companionship, extra medical care, or someone dependable for drop-in visits, I provide attentive care tailored to their personality and needs.

About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds from dogs, cat and ferrets. Animals enjoy my company and love attention I love to share with them. Pet sitting would help me keep my daily life occupied and busy. This will increase my time management and help with my daily off work life. I engage in playing in my fenced backyard. We will enjoy in healthy walks to help with leg stretching, time management for schedule meals as planned.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 13 years old. I have very special connection to animals and love All animals. I'm an experienced pet sitter and will make sure all your baby's needs or met. They will feel loved.. Can give meds as well; my babies are a 6lbs senior and a 15lb terrier so *NO DOGS over 25lbs please.* I currently work from home Monday - Friday. Home all day during the week. Home most weekends as well. Pets are welcomed to travel with me if trained. Your pets can go out as often as needed morning lunch evening and dinner. All pets are leashed at all times while outside of the house.

About: If you are a regular, please contact me directly as I am booked daily frequently but I will make wiggle room for my familiar friends. I am now accepting bookings for summer & autumn 2026. Except for cats - My adult daughter is my regular backup if needed and she usually covers cats visits because they loooove her. *** BONDED/INSURED and I guarantee my behavior in your home!!! Please check with any of my other clients. I love being video taped!!! Your home is just as safe as your pets! I’ve been the go-to girl for pet care in my extended family, friends, neighbors and even within my church for decades. I’ve helped puppies being born and taken care of seniors who needed medication. I work from home and set hours as you need me. I'm available on short notice if I know you. Otherwise, I prefer a meet and greet with new customers. Details are important for all of us. For Drop-In Visits, what is comfortable for your animal is what I do. We can do playtime or just feed/water/love. Puppies can use me for mountain climbing and senior dogs find me a restful friend. I work with cats as well as dogs and am not afraid of keeping a litterbox clean. Also, if you have any tentative travel plans for 2026; please let me know as soon as possible. I hate turning people down but I already have week long overnight bookings scheduled every month into thru May. I would be glad to block out dates while you firm up your plans, if needed. My work zone is limited - I try to only take jobs within a ***3 MILE radius of CEDAR LANE*** - so I can focus on each pet instead of driving all over the place. If you ask any of my regulars, you will find I can (and have been) called in on an emergency with no hesitation. I only take 1 drop-in on days I have my regular or 3 drop ins on my ‘free’ days. Sittings are a case by case basis but if your pet will work with me, I would love to work with them. I will book as far as 12 MONTHS in advance if you need me. I work my schedule around your pets. Any questions, I will be glad to answer. For clarification - Drop-ins are scheduled between 9 am and 8pm. My phone only works during these hours unless I am sitting your pet. House/Pet sittings can be during the day or an overnight stay. Usually, Day shift is 9am to 5 pm but I am willing to work with you as your schedule requires. Walks and sittings are different things. But I will gladly work with you if you give me advance notice. Overnight stays are usually 8-10pm as needed to 8am. Please ask if you need a different schedule during reservation. If I know in advance, I’m glad to work with you and your pet(s). Hope this helps, I’ve gotten a lot of questions lately. 😉 I am so sorry my rates have gone up but gas and insurance is killing me as an independent contractor. I am willing to give discounts on multi day visits or long stays if you work with me. Thank you! 😊 This is my job and I love it. Meeting and spending time with new animals is a joy. I'm building my business through word of mouth so you have all my attention. Let me be of help. I answer text/calls between 9am and 11pm unless I am driving, working with someone, or out of town. My catch up day is Monday so if I do not have furry friends to visit and if I'm slow to answer, it’s because I'm covered in my dogs and cannot move. (They are little but insistent.) or running my many errands. I WILL respond to every request even if you are not in my zone. But I cannot respond while working or at church. You and your furry family are important to me, please let me prove it. I'm always willing to do drop ins and dog sitting. I love doing house sitting stays as it lets your pet be comfortable in his/her own space and keep to their schedule. I will follow your rules meticulously! Please feel free to contact anyone I have worked with, I'm very proud of the reviews I've been given. I will work with you and your pet to get the same happy review. I limit my work area so I spend more time with your pet and not traveling. Overnight covers a 10-12 hour period such as 8 pm to 8am.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and would love the opportunity to care for your pets when you can’t be with them. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, and even raccoons over the years! While I’m new to Rover, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for animals and pet sitting for friends and family. Our home is full of pets we adore, including three dogs—a Siberian Husky, a Beagle/Australian Cattle Dog mix, and a Yorkie—along with several birds of different breeds and a turtle. Because of this, I’m very comfortable caring for animals with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who may need extra patience and gentle care. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed. When caring for your pets, I treat them just like my own—with lots of love, patience, and attention. ⸻ My Pet Care Philosophy I believe pets are family, and they deserve to feel safe, loved, and comfortable even when their owners are away. My goal is to make your pet’s time with me feel as normal and stress-free as possible by following their usual routines and giving them plenty of attention. Every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy—whether that’s playtime, long walks, belly rubs, or just quiet companionship. Communication is very important to me, so while you’re away I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing. I know from personal experience how comforting it is to know your pets are happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I will treat your pets with the same love and care that I give my own pets. ⸻ Experience & Skills I’m comfortable caring for: • Dogs of all sizes and breeds • Cats • Birds and small pets • Puppies and kittens • Senior pets • Multi-pet households I’m also comfortable with: • Administering medications • Following feeding schedules and routines • Walks and exercise • Cleaning litter boxes and cages • Providing lots of affection and attention ⸻ What You Can Expect When your pet is in my care, you can expect: 🐾 Lots of love and attention 🐾 Safe and reliable care 🐾 Updates and photos while you’re away 🐾 Respect for your home and your pet’s routine My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and happy. ⸻ Meet & Greets I’m always happy to schedule a free meet-and-greet so you and your pet can get to know me before booking. This helps make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a great fit. ⸻ ⭐ Warning: Your pet may get spoiled with extra love, attention, and belly rubs! I have a full time job during the week, but I’m available to care for and love on your pets in your absence in the evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends for those weekend getaway trips!

About: I've owned and cared for many kinds of animals: cats, dogs, birds, other caged, and aquatic (freshwater & salt) pets. With vet tech experience, I have a trained eye for catching and often solving problems. As a horticulturist, I can even care for your plant collection. I simply adore most living things! Being semi-retired and self-employed gives me freedom to create my own schedule. I'm able to fit most timeframes except prior to 9 am as I have my own menagerie to care for first thing! Having had VIP clients in DC for so long, safety and security are ingrained in me. It's critical for your animals, your home, and my own well-being. I follow your instructions or my own protocols as needed, since every pet and home is unique. In my own home, your pet would have their own separate room/space and/or be closely monitored when in the rest of the house. If I accept a mini dog for boarding, they will be on a leash at all times when outside for potty breaks or a walk.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and caring for animals comes naturally to me. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve helped raise puppies, supported senior dogs, and provided daily care for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s feeding, walking, training, or just giving them the love they need, I treat every animal like they’re my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to look after their pets, and it brings me so much joy to keep them happy, safe, and healthy! Ive been a stay at home mom for about 6 years now so I have plenty of time! I’m available for drop-ins, daycare for the day, boarding, and cuddles on weekends and weekdays. Whether your fur baby needs mid-day playtime or dinner served with a side of affection, I’ve got it covered! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play, a friendly and well-behaved dog who enjoys having company. If your pet prefers their own space, I’m happy to separate or crate as needed. I provide a calm, clean, and loving home where every animal is treated like family — whether they’re here for a quick visit or an extended stay.
“Joseph has done a great job walking our dogs. He's very good with them, he's on time when schedule to walk them, and he communicates with me about the dogs when needed. Thank You Joseph :)”
“We had a wonderful experience meeting Dawn. She was warm, professional, and very thoughtful in how she approached getting to know our dog, Mr. Thor. She took the time to assess whether it would be the right fit and was honest and communicative throughout the process, which we truly appreciated. It’s clear that she cares deeply about making sure each dog and family is matched appropriately. That level of integrity and professionalism says a lot. We’re grateful for her time and would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”

“Kacie was amazing!! She took such great care of our fur baby. She was great from the meet and greet up until we picked our dog up after a long weekend. Wonderful communication, flexible with scheduling changes and sent us pictures every day! We will definitely ask for her next time we go out of town!”
“I’m so glad I found Shanae, I was at ease while I was away. I loved the pics and videos she sent daily. I felt like my Frankie preferred being in a home environment where he can get 1:1 attention versus a boarding facility with dozens of other dogs.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have spent the last 3 years volunteering with Hope for Life Rescue and Penninsula Regional Animal Shelter, working hands on with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from bottle feeding kittens and puppies to caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m the go-to person for family and friends whenever they need someone reliable and loving to care for their pets, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight boarding. I have experience administering medications, handling nervous or shy animals, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, compassion, and plenty of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are already a big part of my life. I volunteer regularly with a local rescue and animal shelter, foster when needed, and I also run my own business from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise, and my own pets (two cats and one dog) are all friendly, well socialized, and up to date on their vaccines. My dog, Mercury, just turned two and is full of energy. She loves meeting other dogs and enjoys playdates, which makes her a great companion for social pups who enjoy interaction and play. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy environment where both pets and pet parents feel comfortable and confident.

We are transitioning from Boston Massachusetts to Hampton roads, and at the last minute I needed a sitter for 2 of my golden doodle boys, to move my remaining items to VA, and Alexis quickly responded and agree to Take my boyz.
