Pet Sitting Virginia-Highland

About: Growing up with dogs, they have always been a part of my life. I got my own pup, Buttercup, when I was 21 and she was 4 months old, and she’s my ride or die and will be 12 this August. My husband and I rescued our puppy Izzy in February, and she is a bundle of energy at only 8 months old! With a senior dog, and a new puppy, I have plenty of experience with training, medication administration, walk/leash manners, and more. I can’t wait to spoil your pups like my own! I work from home most days, and summers are light. I have a pretty flexible schedule, and love walking around our neighborhood and the beltline I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits only, so I care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and relaxed. During drop-ins, I make sure they’re fed (if needed), have fresh water, get plenty of love and playtime, and of course — potty breaks! For walks, I make safety my top priority, using secure leashes and paying attention to each dog’s pace and needs. I also send photo updates so you know how your pup is doing while you're away!

“Lauren is terrific. In our first meeting she asked all the right questions about the dogs and their behaviors, and made me feel very comfortable about hiring her. She put extra effort into getting my older dog to like her, which I appreciated. I added a third dog and she's done a great job handling them all, and working with the new pup on basic commands. She's also a very good communicator so I know exactly what's going on every time she's with them. She's a real find!”

“We had Emilie drop in and care for our cats while we were out of town for a week and felt so comfortable with them in her care. She provided text and photo updates for each drop in visit, made all the visits at the requested times, and even brought in a package for us that was delivered while we were gone! I really appreciate her taking the time to get to know our cats and make sure they were as comfortable as possible in our absence. We highly recommend Emilie and will definitely have her petsit again in the future!”

About: I’ve personally taken care of kittens and senior cats and have been walking dogs and pet sitting for neighbors and friends since I was 10. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and I also have some experience with shy/reactive dogs. I’m happy to follow your pets routines and put their safety and wellbeing above all else. I’m currently studying Biology at GCSU, but I’m home for the summer. I currently have 2 cats at home and I treat them like part of my family. I always make sure that they eat on schedule and that their fountain water is clean and fresh to maintain hydration. I’ll treat all pets like my own and I’m very excited to meet some new friends! I just finished up my sophomore year of college and am currently applying for jobs. My schedule is very open until June 8th, so I’m happy to find a date and time that caters to your schedule. I do have a fenced backyard, although I’d prefer to care for pets at their home where they are most comfortable or care for them outside of the home.

“Renee is absolutely amazing. Our dog Birdie loves her. She took care of him for three days. She sent us very detailed reports and many photos during her visits. She is great at communicating and everything went so smooth thanks to her. I would ask for Renee's help again in the future with no hesitation.”

“Michelle was awesome! She came over to meet our dog beforehand to make sure our dog was comfortable with her. Our dog warmed up to her immediately. Michelle was super communicative and she really helped us out when we needed care for our dog at the last minute. Highly recommend!”

“This is our second time hiring Ben to watch our cat, Ludo. Ben is truly amazing! He is detail orientated, communicates well, and sends the best updates, hands down. He sends so many amazing photos and written text. Some of the photos made us laugh out loud! It is clear that Ludo felt comfortable in his presence and we returned to a clean home and happy cat! I would 100% recommend Ben to anyone who wants peace of mind while traveling.”

“Grace is a true gem - although we had never met before, she was able to come to my home and take my Cavapoo out while I’m having an emergency room overnight stay. I’ve had nothing but great experiences on this Rover app and very grateful for the people who love and treasure animals!!”

“Cabby is wonderful. My pup liked her as soon as they met, which made me feel comfortable and at ease about leaving them together. She was friendly, prompt with all drop-ins, and she communicated well and often. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Double the dog love! We are one life long dog owner and one life long dog lover happy to provide care for pooches of all shapes and sizes. We've dog sat for puppies who had never been left home alone before all the way to a fourteen-year-old terrier, partially deaf and blind in one eye. We're adept at tailoring care to each dog's specific needs, energy level and instruction. We are generally available with preferred evenings and weekends for the initial meet and greets. Check our calendar for exact availability. We generally prefer to host a dog for a minimum two nights. We both work from home so we are home M-F; 9-5. Frequently home and checking on Fido on weekends and of course waking up and going to sleep with them in the home. Walks throughout the day as well as play and naps. We make sure to pay attention to habits and preferences of Fido - feeding times, walking times, toy preferences as well as sleep times and if dogs are allowed on furniture.

“Krystal was super nice and helpful and a great sitter overall! She came in clutch at the last minute during the holiday season! Highly recommend!”

“Georga took really good care of my cat while I was away. She sent me messages and photos updating me on how he was doing. I was nervous having someone I didn’t know coming into my home taking care of my little guy, but Georga was great. I would definitely ask her back next time I travel.”
