About: With over six years of experience as a Veterinary Assistant and a background in Veterinary Technician studies, I have developed strong skills in caring for a diverse array of pets. After taking time off to be a stay-at-home mom, I am eager to bring my expertise and passion for animal care back into the field! I am available on Friday and Saturday evenings after 6pm and Sunday and Mondays throughout the day! This schedule is subject to change due to being a full time stay at home momma. In clients homes I respect boundaries and upkeep the areas your pets use. I will ensure they are comfort and trusting of me before approaching and interacting!

About: I have had dogs all my life and have one of my own now who loves to have friends and visitors come over! I offer walking services, house visits, and boarding in the Salem, VA area. I work full-time, so I am mostly available for weekend boarding, house visits, walks, etc. While your pets are staying with us, they will be treated with the utmost care and will be guaranteed to have an active and safe time in our fenced in backyard. I have had experience caring for all ages of dogs from puppies to older "puppies at heart," including providing medication orally or shots as necessary. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me and I will be glad to answer any questions.

About: What sets me apart is my deep, lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience with pets of all ages. I currently care for 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own, and I’ve never gone a day without tending to an animal. I’m especially patient with senior pets and gentle with shy or anxious animals. I’m also comfortable with basic puppy training, medication administration, and special care routines. Your pet will be treated like one of my own—with love, attention, and respect every step of the way. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I plan my day around feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and giving each pet one-on-one attention. With 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own, I’m constantly in tune with their needs, from early morning potty breaks to evening cuddle time. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s just how I live my life. Whether it’s a quick check-in or an overnight stay, I’m fully committed to giving every pet the love and care they deserve. At my home, pets enjoy a little over an acre of land with a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe outdoor play, exercise, and exploring. The space allows dogs to run freely and burn off energy in a secure, supervised environment. Inside, the atmosphere is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, with cozy spaces for rest, play, and feeding. I understand and respect the importance of crate training—I crate my own dogs when I’m not home to ensure their safety and comfort. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always follow routines closely and provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where pets feel right at home.

About: We are a homeschooling family of five. After losing our first dog last year, we finally adopted again. Our pup is very social and although she has plenty of attention at home, she would love to have fur friends to play with. We are available most days of the week and are out of the house not more than 1-2 hours at a time. We have three children between the ages of five and eleven who all love dogs and are very gentle with them. We’d love to play, walk, or just hang out. Whether we’re playing or schooling, your pup will have company. We understand that your pets are family members and we’ll treat them as such at our house. We look forward to the opportunity to meet and spend quality time with your fur babies.

About: I have experience caring for both elderly and young dogs. This has equipped me with a variety of skills such as age-appropriate exercise, nutritional needs, and understanding certain behaviors and how to react. I just recently graduated high-school and need something to fill my time. Playing with your pups seems to be the best thing to fill my day! I’m free majority of the week and only work part-time as a waitress. I have a cat and dog at my house but both a friendly to other animals. If needed the animals can be put in a separate room away from clients pet.

“Lisa has been absolutely wonderful to work with. She is so sweet and gentle with our boy, Ollie. She has been willing to make a long commute to help us, while we’ve been in a pinch for a sitter asap. Her kindness goes a long way🩷”

“Hannah just took Butter for her first ever Rover walk. She also paid attention to my dogs body language and brought her back when she was done wanting to walk! She’s pretty tired which was the goal! Thanks Hannah :)”

About: Hi there! My name is Lacy, I've taken care of all different shapes and sizes of pets since I was very young. I worked at a doggy day care for a year, as well as a dog walking company in Los Angeles where I took 5-6 dogs at a time for walks/hikes. I have some experience with simple obedience training, such as proper leash manners and basic commands like sit, stay, wait & come. I will be happy to take your dogs on walks or hikes, I'm also happy to take care of cats, birds, rabbits, hamsters, reptiles, etc. Let me know if I can help! Thanks! I currently work part time and I’m in my third semester of nursing school, currently taking online classes. My schedule varies from month to month but I will gladly help care for your fur babies whenever I can! My current living situation isn’t set up for me to keep pets at my home but I would love to take care of them in their own environment where they already feel comfortable and are familiar with the area!

“Rebecca was available to come over short notice and provided lots of photos and details from their walk. Winnie def looked like she enjoyed it. Will def use her again in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up taking care of family dogs and cats, and now have two 6 year old cats of my own! Additionally, I’ve volunteered at the RVSPCA with the cats weekly for the past two and a half years. I work Tuesdays through Fridays but am available late evenings every night and all day on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays to take care of all your pet needs! I like to treat every pet like they are my own, and will always do everything in my power to make sure that they remain safe and feel like they are in a safe environment while you are away.

“Chester came back, happy and tired, which that’s what my goal was. I did think that this was a dog walk for an hour but it seems that it was just him playing out in the yard so definitely not what I thought I had paid for. However, whatever was done did work. So no offense I’m gonna see if I can find somebody who will walk him and see if it has even better results. I will keep you in mind if I need a long-term sitter like for a day or two days or a week. I’m not sure if you do that or not but Might work out for me.”

About: I grew up on a farm, always having dogs and cats around. I also worked at a small animal shelter for 3 years, where I rescued my 2 cats and dog. Later I worked at a pet supply store. We were given extensive education on pet nutrition, handling and care. I have always been friends and families go to person for their pet sitting needs. Also I cared for my husband's 2 elderly dogs when we moved in together, helping them eat, administering medications and helping them in and out of the house. I have an open schedule as I am new to the area. I am more than happy to come to you or you can come to me! Whatever your pet needs are I can attend to. If crating is needed I can do that, I live less than a mile from a nature center where we can go on hikes and walk. If I am needed in your home just let me know the details of what you would like and I can make that happen as well.

About: I've been blessed to have had my lab mix from a tiny puppy to nearly 15 years of age, when he crossed the rainbow bridge. I understand all phases of a dogs life and their needs. I currently have a seven year old rescue who was adopted at approximately 7 months of age. Additionally, I have owned cats as a child into my early adulthood and understand & love them well! I would love to care for your pets while you're away. As a bonus I have pet care experience with fish, lizards, and chickens. I'm always open to learn about and care for other animals. Thanks for stopping by to read my profile and I hope to hear from you soon! I'm fairly flexible at this point in time and can accommodate various schedule requests. Please inquire with me further so that we can discuss these details. I would enjoy walking your dog as well as playing with them outdoors in a fenced environment. . Your pet's safety, health, and well being will always be my top priority.

About: As someone who has worked at pet stores, kennels, and a veterinary hospital in addition to regular pet sitting, caring for animals is second nature to me. My pet-sitting experience includes daily dog walking for owners who work long hours, multiple daily visits for travelers whose dogs do better at home rather than a kennel, and daily check-ins for puppies who need more frequent trips outdoors while they are house-breaking. As an animal-lover, I truly enjoy the time I get to spend with your pet while you work or vacation. I believe exercise, a predictable schedule and one-on-one care are key to your dog having a relaxing and anxiety-free separation from you. I'm completely dedicated to spending time with your pet when you aren't able to. I have a very flexible schedule and will prioritize keeping your pet on a regular feeding and potty schedule that suits his or her needs. I tend to take the advice of the pet owner about their pet’s safety needs. They know their pet better than anyone. I always provide feedback if I notice anything unusual. For example: - Ginger seemed to be limping a bit on our walk today - Max didn’t have much of an appetite this morning - Echo grabbed something when she was in the back yard and ate it before I could see what it was - just giving you a heads up!

“Julia is so great with my dog Remy! He always looks forward to seeing her and she is so engaged and good with him. She has visited several times now and we will keep booking her!”
