18. Sydney R.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs all my life, since dogs have always been part of my family. Right now, I have a 12 year old Labrador (Teddy) and a 3 year old Labrador (Willow), so I have experience with all ages! I am starting my senior year of college at the University of Virginia and am happy to help around my class schedule & on short notice! My dogs are trained to not leave our yard’s perimeter, but before they were trained I would take them out on leash. As puppies, they spent time in crates but now they longer use them.
19. Alexandra L.
“First of all, Alex is a dog owner and lover herself, the perfect human to watch over your beloved because that's how she treats her own lovely pet. Alex has stayed with and walked our two dogs and 1) they love when she comes over, 2) she remains comfortable and calm around our rambunctious dogs, giving commands in a cool, even tone the dogs immediately respond to, and 3) we absolutely know they are loved and taken care of when she is at our home or out on a walk with them; she sends photos, little updates - because, she knows, as a dog person, that's what she'd want! 10 out of 10, 100% recommended booking Alex for your next pet or dog need, I can promise you won't be disappointed!”
20. Emily A.
“Emily watched my cat and dog a few months ago and she was super trustworthy and kind with them. My cat is young and hyper, and she did a great job keeping him entertained and out of trouble. My dog is older and needed some extra care which she happily accommodated. Both animals were in a great mood and my house was clean when I returned.”
