“John was wonderful with our elderly dog. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. John was above and beyond our expectations, he even gave us some new ideas to keep our dog more active.

We'll certainly reach out to Maribel if she's available before our next trip. Best experience!”

About: I’ve never had a cat until I was grown, my mom and grandma have always been scared of them and more of dog people. I went to the shelter and was determined to get over my generational fear of cats. Learning to care for a cat while being timid made me also learn how specific cats are some like to be brushed and some you can’t even look at the wrong way. Any cat I meet I always try to feel them out and see what they enjoy most !

“Kaitlin did an excellent job checking on my cat every day for 7 days. She did all the things I asked her to do from cleaning the litter box to giving Lucy treats. Not only did she do all this but she was so faithful to report to me everyday and send me pictures daily. I’d never used Rover before but I surely will again. Excellent experience and Kaitlin was wonderful.”

“Candace was an amazing dog sitter. She took very good care of my fur baby! She took pictures of her, text me throughout the day, took her on walks, snuggled with her, played and more ♡ Couldn't ask for anything more ♡ Thank you Candace!!!!”
“Penny and Evan were great with our little “high anxiety” fur baby. During the “meet and greet” Penny had us come in and take him straight to the fenced back yard where he could sniff around and go to the bathroom. Knowing about his anxiety, once we went back inside, Penny never tried to pet him, she just allowed him to get used to her being in the room. She was a very calming presence for him. Evan likewise was patient with him and allowed him the time it took to settle and get comfortable. We are thrilled to have found Penny and Even and the bonus is that they live about 4 minutes from our house! We have already booked the next daycare appointment!”

About: When you're away, your pets deserve more than a quick visit—they deserve knowledgeable, compassionate care from someone who understands their health, comfort, and unique personalities. My journey in animal care began long before I became a registered nurse. I worked as a kennel manager and completed most of a veterinary technician program before a family illness led me to pursue "human" nursing. That unique combination of veterinary training and healthcare experience allows me to provide attentive, responsible care for your beloved pets. What Sets Me Apart: - Former Kennel Manager with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments - Extensive experience with cats, including shy, senior, and special-needs pets - Registered Nurse accustomed to careful observation, medication management, and responding calmly to unexpected situations - Formal Veterinary Technician Training with education in animal health, behavior, and basic medical care - Experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, ferrets, and other small pets Services Available Dog sitting Cat sitting Daily visits and companionship Walks and exercise Feeding and medication administration Puppy and senior pet care Vacation and weekend coverage Photo and text updates for pet parents I understand that pets are family. My goal is to keep them safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you confidence and peace of mind. Professional. Experienced. Compassionate. Contact me to schedule a meet-and-greet and learn how I can help care for your furry family members. I am currently semi-retired, so I have flexibility in my schedule to hopefully meet your needs. I like to try to keep pets in their regular routine while their owners are away, so I will do my best to work with you on that. Although we have space to care for your pets in our home/land, we don't have a fenced in property and I wouldn't want to stress my own pets with "strangers" in the house. (I also feel that keeping a pet in their home environment is much less stressful for them than relocating them.) I'd be happy to come to your home to and provide quality care to your four-legged (or less) family members. I have owned my own home my entire adult life, so I will honor yours as if it were my own.
“Jessica has been a wonderful caretaker & companion to our sweet, old dogs. I would definitely recommend her to my family, friends, & co-workers for their pet care needs. Jessica was so nice to meet us prior to booking her services & sent pictures of her visit, as well as bring our sweet boys a treat or two. Our dogs usually have terrible separation anxiety & stop eating, yet with Jessica's help they didn't miss a meal, a belly rub, a treat, or a walk. Thank you so much Jessica for taking such good care of our furry family members! We appreciate you.”

I have lived and worked on a farm for 5+ years, i’ve worked with animals from ferrets up to horses! I am happy to help love and care for your pet just as much as you!! I’m work 4 days out of the week, 10 hour shifts, but where I work at a Vet, I am able to leave to let your pet out when need be!! I will care for your pet in your home the same way you will, I will not touch belongings unless told to do so, and I will make sure to clean up any messes made and make your pet feel loved and safe!
About: I've taken care of my family's and neighbors' cats, dogs, horses, turtles, fish, ponies, chickens, and even a joey once! I have learned to administer transdermal medications, use cat inhalers, and give medications by mouth. I have experience with senior dogs and cats as well as puppies and kittens. I love long walks and spending time outdoors, so if your dog has a lot of energy that’s fine with me! I also have gardening experience (my dad was an organic farmer and arborist) so your plants will be in good hands. I’m currently working part-time and mostly remotely, so I’ll have time to give your pet’s the attention and care they deserve. I freelance and have my own photography business so my schedule is flexible. I enjoy taking care of animals in their own home as I feel they take comfort and feel safe from a familiar setting which is important when there's a temporary change of caretaker.
About: All walks tailored to your dog’s personality, whether he or she requires a swift walk or a leisurely stroll to sniff around and explore one thing for sure is they will get plenty of exercise and have fun. I send text pictures and updates on how your dog did on their walk each day. I’ve been a dog and cat owner for over 40 years. I’ve also was a assistant zookeeper and worked with the gorillas and orangutans. I love all animals and treat each one with love and respect. I have experience as a farm hand as well feeding goats, pigs, chickens, and horses. I am trustworthy, patient, compassionate , responsible and reliable. I will customize all visits to suit your dog or cats needs.
“Laiken has truly been wonderful for my dog and I. He is a puppy, and trying to learn a routine and schedule and she has gone above and beyond to help me. I work night shift and she helps make it work for me. I truly have found i can trust her in my home and with my dog. She updates me with everything she does with him. I will be continuing to have her hang out with my dog as long as she will be available to. I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have had dogs and cats since I was a young child! I started pet sitting for friends and family whenever they were out of town. I currently have a flexible schedule so I am happy to accommodate your needs and the needs of your pets. I love to walk and enjoy the outdoors! I keep my home neat and tidy and promise to keep yours the same way! I look forward to meeting you and your pets and promise to keep them safe and on schedule with their daily routine!
About: As the daughter of a groomer, I have been around dogs since I was a child. I have seen a variety of different sizes and breeds over the years, and have experienced many different temperaments as well. I am a dog lover in all aspects, I have 5 dogs of my own, big and small, and they are my children. My goal is to provide you with relief and peace of mind that your dogs are in good hands as I have taken care of dogs since I was around 9 years old. I have experience administering medications, topical creams, and proper grooming (thanks Mom!) to many different dogs and understand that all are different and special in their own way! Additionally, I have worked on a farm on and off during my youth, so I have experience working with large animals and small animals and birds too! I am a college student studying at Virginia Tech, so pet care has always been my full time job during the summers! I do have a part time job right now, but my boss is knowledgeable of my passion for animals and allows me to create my work schedule around my animal schedule! I provide excellent care by providing what’s truly important in the pet care world: peace of mind. Leaving your dogs or cats with me would mean leaving them with someone who would love them, take them on hearty walks, wants to spend time with them, and give them all the pets and attention they could ask for during a stressful time when their owners were away. I want to take that stress away!

“John was wonderful with our elderly dog. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. John was above and beyond our expectations, he even gave us some new ideas to keep our dog more active. I don’t think our dog was ready to leave, thought he was on vacation too. I highly recommend John you won’t be disappointed.”

We'll certainly reach out to Maribel if she's available before our next trip. Best experience!”
