House Sitting in Wake

“I think my dogs now want to go home with Linda! King and Luka were beyond spoiled and loved while Linda was here home sitting. She sent me pictures and kept me updated with my dogs all through out the day. She treated them like they were her own. Highly recommend her for when you need your babies watched. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: I grew up in a family of animal lovers and have been surrounded by them ever since! I affectionately call my dog and cat "the boys" and am always working to make sure they have the best life possible. I was a dog walker in Richmond and worked with many different types of dogs and temperament's. From French Bulldogs who hate skateboards to a Great Pyrenes mix who just wanted to cuddle. I cared for my childhood dog when he had cancer and have had my current dog since he was a puppy, giving me experiences in the many stages of life and health. I've worked with a trainer and am familiar with best leash walking practices and reading dog body language. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am able to spend much of my time on pet care and services. I am happy to take your pets on "field trips" to my favorite local trails if that is something you're interested in. Safety is of upmost concern for me. Your dog will always be on a lead or in a fenced in backyard. I have experience with leash aggression so I will also prioritize avoiding other dogs on walks when necessary.

About: I started working at a boarding barn facility when I was 13. With the long list of animals I cared for, taking care of the barn cats and dogs were my favorite. I started studying veterinary care and animals science in high school; during these classes we learn animal behavior, anatomy, and even proper grooming. Now I am looking to start a career in Vet Science! I own 4 cats. Everyday is animal care, from basic feeding, grooming, cleaning to vet visits and cuddles. I’ve owned dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I still work with local farms, so animal care is extremely important to me. Basic care for all animals includes food and clean water everyday. Litter gets scooped once a day and dogs get let out however many times they need. I am 100% willing to do extra care as needed for the animals and clients!

“Kayvin took wonderful care of our entire pet family (2 cats + 2 dogs), while we were gone for the week. Definitely will use again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. As an adult I have house/dog/cat/child sat for many people. I’m known as “Auntie K” to my dog sitting families! I’ve administered medications to dogs & cats as well as specific diets and cared for multiple senior dogs and cats. Although I grew up surrounded by animals, I haven’t had my own dog since I was 19. Sadly, my crazy but lovable kitty passed a couple of years ago. As a result, I really enjoy taking care of other peoples pets until the time is right and I meet my own furry friend. I have plenty of time to hang with your pet(s). I am available weekdays, weeknights and weekends! I am generally available 4-6 hours for potty breaks if I am not off work at my other jobs. I am willing and able to follow all rules and requirements to care the very best for your fur baby(s). I prefer everything written down so I can make sure everything that is requested is done on time and the way you would like. I understand your pet(s) are like children and it’s important to care for them the way you would.

“Kellee is a great communicator, friendly, and professional. This was our first time using Kellee and will not hesitate to book again with her. Big kudos for her with patience. I had a heck of a time using Rover from my end. She was so sweet while I figured it all. She worked with me to ensure I got scheduled how we needed.”

“Briar genuinely loves dog and has shown a great deal of patience with my shy and sometimes skittish spaniel. She takes time to play with my dog and even gives her periodic car rides.”

“Christina took great care of our two dogs and cats while we were traveling. This was our first time using a pet sitter and she helped us be at ease! We got lots of pics and updates which were so welcomed!”

“Ireland was amazing to work with! She was so great communicating, sending pics and updates through her stay. My pup absolutely loved being taken care of by her and was definitely sad when the trip ended. Definitely would book again!”

“Jenny was wonderful!!! My two pups normally take a bit to warmup to new people but at the meet and greet they both clearly showed a liking to her. Jenny watched my pups in my home and messaged me several times a day and sent pics to let me know how things were going. This was very comforting for someone like me, with having anxiety with leaving them. My house was as clean as I left it, and I was very grateful that she brought in my packages as they were delivered. I would recommend Jenny, we will definitely be asking her to watch our pups again!!! Thank you so much Jenny, for easing my mind with my sweet babies and taking such great care of them😊!!!”

“Tracy is awesome! Our babies love having her stay with them! She loves on them and treats them the way we do. Thank you for being amazing and so helpful. Will definitely work with her again.”

“If I could give Renee 10 stars I would. She is amazing - kind, responsive, thoughtful, genuinely cares and showed a lot of heart while taking care of our very elderly cat when we were out of town. She kept us posted, gave us updates, sent us pictures, and was simply a delight. When we returned from our trip Renee had taken care of everything, made sure everything was tidy, and my cat was relaxed and happy and clearly well loved. Knowing our beloved pet (and family member) was in such good hands allowed me to actually relax!!!, which is priceless. I recommend Renee with lots of enthusiasm and zero reservations. She's a lifesaver!”

I take my dogs on walks as well as play fetch at least once a day! I feed them twice a day and let them out every 2-3 hours.
