“Loki and Penny had a great time and I really appreciated getting videos and pictures during their stay with the Thurmans! This is Penny's second stay with them and will use them again if needed. 😊”
“Kayce took great care of our little guy. My dog can be very anxious with new people and places, but really enjoys Kayce. She’s incredibly caring and sent updates throughout our trip. Will be using again!”
“Madelyn took excellent care of my dog Link and provided me with consistent updates so that I knew he was in good hands. I chose her to board him while I was away for the holidays, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to do the same. I could tell he was treated as if she was his own. Thank you!”
“Courtney and crew were wonderful. They treated my pups just like their own. My boys were loved and cared for during my short trip. I very much appreciated the periodic updates and pictures. This was my one puppy’s first stay away from home and he had a ball playing with another puppy. Both dogs were exhausted and happy when we got home. Thank you.”
About: Hi, I’m Johnnie! With over a decade of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I provide a calm, reliable, and personalized environment for every pup. Whether your dog loves high‑energy play or prefers a quiet place to relax, I tailor my care to fit their unique needs. I offer companionship, feeding, walking, grooming, and bathing, along with a fully fenced yard for safe, supervised play. Crate training or crating is available upon request. Your dog’s comfort, routine, and happiness always come first. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs each dog may have. Because I work from home and keep a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, and plenty of supervised outdoor time in my fenced yard. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening wind‑downs, I make sure every dog gets the right balance of exercise, enrichment, and relaxation. Caring for pets isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s a core part of my everyday life. How I Care for Pets in My Home In my home, dogs enjoy a safe, structured, and loving environment. I provide consistent routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. My fully fenced yard allows for supervised outdoor play, and I tailor activities based on each dog’s energy level—whether that’s high‑energy fetch or calm relaxation. I maintain a clean, comfortable space and can accommodate crate training or crating upon request. Every dog gets personalized attention, enrichment, and plenty of affection. **How I Care for Pets in a Client’s Home** When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to keep pets comfortable and stress‑free. I stick to the owner’s feeding schedule, walking preferences, and any special instructions. I make sure the home stays tidy, provide updates with photos, and give each pet the same level of care and attention they’re used to. My goal is to make their time away from their family feel as normal and reassuring as possible.
“Alison is amazing! I was a little worried about how Louie would be once we left but she did a great job reassuring me he was ok! She didn’t skip a beat with her updates and plenty of pictures! I can tell he felt the love from her just as much as I could tell just by the pictures! I would definitely rebook if she’s available!”
About: Hi my names Amadi. Thanks for taking a second to check out my profile! I have a little over 15 years of experience in training dogs, helping with socialization skills, and general caretaking. Currently I work from home, a light schedule as I’m testing to obtain another specialty license. In my daily life I used to foster dogs for a rescue. Most of my fosters came from very rough beginnings and had many social and/or anxiety issues but we have been able to overcome them💙 With that being said I totally understand how some dogs are unsure of new people and I’m 100% willing to take the time needed to get to know your fur baby. I do currently have an iguana in his own enclosure and I have extensive reptile knowledge and I’m willing to assist with those as well. I currently have a light schedule that I work from home, so I am available for a lot of pet care needs. I do frequent bathroom visits play, and meal time. I am 100% about safety first. I will not accept any new dogs that will put anyone else in jeopardy. Although I have experience in housing a large number of dogs from my time fostering out in Goochland, and my time working in a doggy daycare, I do not wish to take on a large number of dogs at any one time.
“Rosalind is always very responsive and reliable. My puppy always seems to have a good time and comes back in a great mood. I enjoy using her for my trips because I know my dog is in good hands.”
“Nicole was AMAZING with my Bailey. She went above and beyond at sending me pics and keeping me updated. I could tell Bailey felt completely at home with Nicole and her husband Aaron. Thanks guys I can tell you are really dog lovers!!”

I am going back to college to finish my BS, Business Management, and looking to support my family financially through spending time with pets-which can easily be done as a remote student.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and had several throughout the last 33 years. I really only have experience with dogs and cats, I currently have 5 cats and 2 dog. As a pet caretaker with a flexible schedule, I can easily adapt my day around each pet’s needs. I’m able to plan feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins at times that work best for both the pet and their owner. My flexibility allows me to provide consistent, reliable care—even if the owner’s routine changes—while making sure the pet maintains a comfortable, steady daily rhythm.

About: I have over 7 years of professional experience as a veterinary technician and small animal groomer. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, and dogs with medical or behavioral needs.

I communicate promptly and clearly so you feel confident your cat is in experienced, capable hands.

About: I have built my life around loving and caring for animals. I have been with my local SPCA for 11 years and have been president for 8 years. My family has rescued and loved many animals throughout our lives and I would like nothing more than to extend that love to your pets. I am available at all times as I have retired and most of my SPCA volunteer work is done from my home. If for whatever reason I am not going to be there I will make sure you will be informed prior to my absence and my husband is available in the rare instance I am not. I have a dog boarding facility that can house up to 17 dogs of all sizes. There is a large outdoor play area and nice cozy accommodations including indoor and outdoor runs. Dogs have access to one on one play (including private walks) as well as group play depending on your preference and dog temperament.
“Kayce was amazing! Our request was very last minute but she was very accommodating and flexible. Bree took to her home very quickly. We were able to enjoy our day with no stress knowing Bree was in good hands. Kayce communicated often and we never had to ask or pry for an update. We will absolutely reach out to Kayce if we are in the area again and 100% recommend her services to everyone! This was our first time using Rover and we were lucky enough to have such a positive experience that we will definitely be using it again.??”
“Alison took amazing care of my French Bulldog, J3, while I was at work. J3 can be a little particular—he loves attention, has specific routines, and can be sensitive to heat—but Alison followed all instructions perfectly and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and safe. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. It’s not easy to find someone who treats your pet like family, but Alison truly did. Thank you again for being so reliable, loving, and attentive with J3. We’ll definitely be booking with you again!”

About: I grew up with many dogs of all sizes and personalities — from calm seniors to hyper puppies — and we also fostered animals growing up. Before having children, I worked at a doggy daycare, where I learned to care for multiple pets at once. Currently, my husband and I board for family and friends, and we’re excited to expand our care to more pets because we truly love animals! I am a stay-at-home wife, so your pets will have someone at home with them throughout the day giving attention, cuddles, and care. My husband works outside of the home, but he’s happy to help and loves animals too! We have three kids (infant to 8 years old) who absolutely adore animals, and we welcome both dogs and cats of all personalities. While our 2.5-acre yard isn’t fenced, we have a dog trolley system that allows pets to safely explore and enjoy the outdoors while leashed. We also love walks, playtime, and games of fetch for dogs who enjoy daily exercise. With us, your furry family members will receive lots of love, attention, and supervision throughout the day! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so she’s available to care for pets throughout the day. My husband is home outside of my work schedule, so together we can provide attention, supervision, and love for your dog or cat almost all day. Safety: Your pet’s safety is our top priority. While our 2.5-acre yard isn’t fully fenced, we use a dog trolley system that allows pets to safely roam and explore while remaining leashed. Inside the home, pets are supervised at all times. Trust: We treat every pet like family, providing attentive care, consistent routines, and regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. Environment: Our home is loving, calm, and kid-friendly, with plenty of space for pets to play, rest, and feel comfortable. We welcome dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities.
About: I've been passionate about caring for dogs since I was a child. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of walking and looking after many dogs for friends and neighbors. My experience spans a variety of breeds with different needs and behaviors. My friendly, confident, and kind approach ensures that every dog feels safe and loved in my care. Whether it's my own dog, KoKo, or a new furry friend, I am dedicated to providing the best care possible and ensuring that your furbaby enjoys a luxurious experience filled with love, attention, and fun activities. As a full-time student who spends most of my time at home, incorporating pet care into my daily routine is a breeze! Whether I'm taking a break from studying to enjoy a fun play session, going for a refreshing walk, or simply cuddling up with a furry friend while reading, pets seamlessly fit into my schedule. I love having the companionship and energy that pets bring, making each day more joyful and balanced. Caring for dogs is a passion of mine, and I ensure they receive all the love and attention they need. Each dog's routine is tailored to their individual needs and may include regular feeding, playtime, and exercise. I take dogs on invigorating walks and to the local dog park for socialization and fun. With my small breed dog, KoKo, as a companion, your dog will always have a playmate and a friend. Whether it's engaging in stimulating activities or enjoying some relaxing downtime, I make sure every dog feels at home and well-cared for.

About: When I was 12, I was gifted my first dog named Midnight. I had him until I was 18 years old and going away to college. Life had been tough financially so I made the tough decision to find him a better home. This fueled my passion for Animal care and now animal rescue. Now I’m a senior biology major at North Carolina Wesleyan, trying to gain more experience. I’m working part-time, so my schedule is pretty clear through the week. Well, when I’m not in class. However classes are ending soon so I’ll have plenty of free time to help others. In my own home, I have set schedules for my dogs and I also have a cat but caring for her is quite easy. For a client, I look forward to following any directions that are requested of me.

I currently work part time at Ace Hardware. I am looking for a side hustle and have plenty of time to cater to your pet! I have other dogs so I do not offer pets in my home, but I offer exceptional care to dogs in your own home! I can easily put them in a crate as well as feeding them on time and taking them out to potty as needed! I will also spend lots of time with them as I very much enjoy being around animals. I have basic vet knowledge as well and can tell when something is wrong!
About: I’ve taken care of family dogs my whole life and I have over a 2 years experience in a dog kennel so I am very familiar with any breeds/issues you could think of.
