Personalized care for your dog or cat - Independence

“Lane was great with our pup! He’s very responsive and has a big back yard, plus his own pups are very friendly. We would definitely recommend him!”

Douglas L.

“Kayla is a consummate professional whose kindness and love of animals is immediately apparent. She is a trustworthy, loving person who I would not hesitate to leave my two pups with again!”

J V.

“We were so impressed with Kourtney. She was professional and compassionate about our requests for 4-month-old puppy Holly. She sent us pictures and updates several times per day and always got back to us within minutes of messaging her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter and will surely use her again. Holly seemed very happy while she was there and I think she misses Kourtney and her husband. Thanks again for everything!”

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently share my home with my husband and three friendly dogs and two cats who love to socialize with new friends (as long as they are calm and polite around cats). Living on 5 beautiful acres, we have plenty of space for dogs to explore, play, and enjoy fresh air. There’s also a fenced area for safe outdoor time and a quiet room inside for pets who prefer their own space or need downtime away from others. I treat every pet as part of the family - providing personalized care, a comfortable environment, and lots of love and attention. Whether it’s an overnight stay or doggy daycare, I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and right at home. I work from my home office, so I’m here throughout the day to give pets plenty of attention and supervision. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust to each pet’s normal routine - whether that means morning walks, midday playtime, or cozy afternoon naps. Dogs enjoy frequent outdoor time or inside play depending on the weather and their comfort level. While I do occasionally step away for short appointments, pets are never left alone for more than two hours at a time, and always in a safe, comfortable space. Your pets will get lots of love, care, and companionship - not just supervision, but genuine quality time. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. Cleanliness and safety are part of my daily routine: food and water are refreshed regularly, litter and waste are promptly managed, and all playtime is supervised. Your pets will enjoy a spacious, peaceful environment, balanced socialization, multi-pet expertise, personalized attention, flexible accommodations, and all-day care. I keep a close eye on each guests’ comfort, routine, and personality, ensuring they get the right mix of activity, affection, and rest. With me, your met will enjoy country-style play, cozy indoor time, and loving attention.

“She was amazing! House was clean and neat - great fenced yard - she knew how to handle and love our baby. Would recommend her to anyone.”

About: From playful puppies to wise old souls, I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. Every tail wag gets the love and attention it deserves love. I’m currently a grad student, but when i get home I have plenty of time with my pets. My husband also works from home, so we would be a team on Rover! I live on a secluded 65 acre farm, we also can provide fencing if needed. We also can crate your baby if needed, but our pets roam inside and outside since this land is isolated from the road.

“Christy is awesome! Very caring and great with all animals.”

Carla P.

“Cheyanne took such great care of our dog Ace while we were on vacation! I can tell that he had so much fun and enjoyed his stay. Without a doubt, we will continue to use her services in the future!?”

Nicole R.

“We are so thankful to Kitty for looking after our little pup! She gave Lana a wonderful vacation week and we would highly recommend her. It was the first time leaving Lana overnight and Kitty made the whole process really smooth for us. Arriving at her home with the beautiful fenced in yard and peaceful surroundings gave us a great feeling straight away. She gave us time to get Lana settled and listened to our preferences for some house rules during the time there. She went over and above to give us not only updates and photo check ins but she also shared really valuable tips she had noticed in terms of our pup's development and maturing and was actively invested in working on them while Lana was with her. Thank you again!”

About: I am a puppy mom of two loveable border collie crosses and one German Shepherd! We have a large front yard for the dogs to run as well as a farm to explore. My husband and I have had dogs all our life, but we got our first together in 2016 and added the second addition September 2017. Our third pup was added in 2025. On the weekends we take hiking trips and would love to have your pup join us on our adventures. I have my own business and work from home, so they would have as many breaks as needed. Your pup would be in great hands with us. I work from home, with my own business, so I have a lot of flexibility in caring for your pet! Outside time and rest breaks are able to fit right into my schedule. In our primary residence we have 3 dogs, all of which are crate trained. For my office space though I am able to have it dog free should your pet need that.

About: Hi! I have experience caring for my family's elderly cat that passed away a few years ago. He had incontinence issues and seizures in the last few years of his life. I made sure to bathe him and love him through the end. Now I am the owner of two 1 year old cats that are beyond spoiled! I love cats and have taken care of many throughout the years. I even helped a mother cat giving birth, helped litter train her 4 kittens, and weaned them as they got older.

“Katy was great! Easy going and very communicative. Made sure our kitties got the attention we wanted to make sure they had while we were away. Would definitely rebook!”

“Kayla came highly recommended from our neighbors and she was professional, respectful, engaging and the ultimate pet whisperer. Our 13y/o golden retriever and 2 y/o miniature dachshund took to her immediately, which was a great comfort. Thank you Kayla!!”

Adri H.

About: I've had many years of experience between keeping my own animals as well as house sitting or just dropping in to check on your pets! I also offer the same service for reptiles! Preferably would like to service closer to Wytheville but will travel in some cases, extra fees will apply depending on distance! Please check your location and the distance between us before you book! I currently have a full time job but I am looking to quit so I can focus on doing nails and going to school part time for that but I need a side hustle! I live in a school bus so I don't really have tons of room to take care of pets there but I am more than willing to come to their homes, I'd prefer that the pet is comfortable as possible and I cannot stay overnight in a home but I can stay as long as needed to make sure the care requirements are met

“Gracie was great, very personable, and will definitely use her services again!”

Chase R.

“Holiday week and work is crazy! Meredith walked porter 1.1 miles and gave him a much needed break. Thank you Meredith! I liked the pics of my dog during the walks, and I appreciated that Meredith was willing to come visit Porter a few days before walking him to let him get to know her.”

Kathryn A.

About: I have taken care of dogs/animals since i was little. I have many exotic animals and 5 pups of my own that I absolutely adore! I am a stay at home pet mom. I spend all my time with my dogs and other pets, and have plenty of time to watch other pups and kittys! I am also available to pet sit exotic animals as I have several and know an extreme amount about them. And have years of experience and rehab with exotics. As well as dogs and cats! I live in a pet friendly neighborhood. With many close by dogs parks and parks. I have 5 very friendly pups that would love to meet yours. We go to the park several times a week. And have loves of enriching fun!

About: Hi! I have experience caring for senior dogs and cats as well as kittens. I have helped change diapers, clean up messes, give relaxing baths, and provide as much exercise as possible for any pets I have watched over the years. As a professional housekeeper, no incontinence issue is too much for me! As long as your fur baby is happy and safe. I am currently on leave without pay from my full time job (until an undetermined time) so I have open availability to pet sit this summer for anyone who plans on taking a little vacation! I treat all pets with kindness and patience, always keeping in mind that any "aggression" is just a tiny animal who may be scared or hurting. Every animal is different and I'm always willing to learn how to keep each one safe depending on what the owner wants. I am also willing and open to being recorded on home security cameras to build that trust, as I have them in my home as well to watch over my cats. I provide a quiet, peaceful environment for your pet or I can play for hours until they are tired!

About: Animals just relax around me. I’ve worked with many pet owners who are apprehensive to leave their pets with anyone due to the pet’s nervous temperaments, and other various quirks, and every single time the animals have surprised their owners by completely settling in with me. I prioritize play, love, and connecting with each individual pet I watch however they specifically need. I’ve looked after animals of all breeds, ages, & temperaments- from anxious & fussy older pets to energetic young puppies. I have experience administering medications to sick animals, hand feeding injured puppies, walking several pets at once, and managing dogs & cats that are a bit wild. I’ve even cared for lizards, turtles, fish, plants (haha), hamsters, birds, & rabbits. Whatever their needs, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, & at home while they’re with me. I am a potter who works from my home studio, and I make my own schedule- so I can generally be flexible and accommodate your pets needs. I love having pets in my home, and breaking away from my studio to get some fresh air and puppy/kitty love too! If I’m working on a big project, it’s nice to have to flexibility to come and go from my studio when possible, or have your pet there with me- but I have worked out all kinds of house sit/drop in/boarding arrangements according to the needs of clients and their pets. Let’s talk! I live in a peaceful home with a large fenced in backyard, and nice quiet streets to walk with your pet as needed. I will follow whatever routines you generally stick to and prefer when working with your animals. Give me all the details of your needs and preferences, boundaries and particulars- no matter what type of sit- so I can be sure you and your pet(s) feel a sense of trust, ease, and predictability.

“Evans (William is his first name apparently) is great! Super communicative, friendly, and sent lots of pics and videos! He is definitely my “go-to” guy from now on!”

Susan D.

About: I grew up taking care of all different breeds of dogs, and there’s nothing else I’d rather do! I started out caring for my own, then I started caring for my family’s and friend’s pets too. My experience ranges from caring for puppies and senior dogs. I had a 14 year old lab that I had to provide senior care on, from feeding by hand, cleaning her up, and administering medicine. I am working full time at the moment but am more than excited to spend my days off with your fur babies! As of right now I am available most weekends, and nights. I care for my dogs by letting them run around during the day, I have a huge yard with plenty of space. At night my dogs like to sleep in their crate.
