About: Hello! My name is Alyssa and I am a 20 year old college student remotely studying Psychology and Criminal Justice. I’ve had dogs and a cat since I was young and was always held accountable to take care of them! I took a Veterinary Science class in High School and dealt with animals on a daily during this course (Bunnies and Puppies.) I have recently owned hamsters and fish as well that were 100% my responsibility. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have 4 years of paid experience with pet sitting for neighbors. Animals deserve the world and I love to make a difference in their lives even if they don’t understand it :) I am also willing to negotiate pricing based off your animals energy/need for attention/etc. Please reach out to me with any additional questions and I’d be happy to answer! I am currently a college student who is taking online courses to work on getting my degree. Other than daily assignments, I have no other daily commitments and will be available 90% of the time, other than my planned unavailability on my calendar! I have a large front and back yard with plenty of room to play. I do have an indoor/outdoor cat but she keeps to herself and is never a bother. I could easily keep her separated from your pet. If in your home, I will be sure to take all the steps you request and go above and beyond to ensure you and your animals are comfortable.

About: Over the years I have had several cats. They have their own unique personalities and are very loving. My last cat I lost due to cancer, Sam was loved and still miss him greeting me at the door. I feel strongly that if you don’t treat your animals as family you shouldn’t have them. Animals love unconditionally which makes them very special. unconditionally which makes them very special. I am retired which allows me time to be flexible within your needs for your pet/pets. I am available everyday except Saturday the exception would be if I am taking care of your pet for the week I will include Saturday as well. I will take care of your pet as I would my own. I will give your pet the attention beyond what is needed. I know your pet will miss his/her master however I will ease this by playing with them, petting and reassuring their safety and make sure they eat. Your instruction will be followed completely. I will communicate after each visit so you will have peace of mind.

“Lily and Philip were amazing. From the moment we met for the “meet and greet” to their last day taking care of my fur baby, I knew that my dog was in good hands. I especially loved the daily updates with pictures!!!”


About: I’ve had experience with rescue animals in my home since my childhood. I began working as a pet sitter and dog walker (babysitter as well!) at 14, which has always been my favorite job! I was able to get a job as a kennel assistant in a veterinary clinic at 16 and worked my way up to a veterinary assistant position. I have dealt with administering medication and other veterinary procedures, and dealing with more special care required animals. I’m a college student taking online and in person courses through the local community college, so I have a pretty open schedule. Working a traditional job in college can be quite stressful, so I’m giving this a try! I have been working in other people’s homes for several years babysitting and pet sitting. I’m happy to clean dishes, take out trash, carry in mail and packages, and any other simple tasks. I always try my best to clean after myself and the fur babies each visit!

About: I take care of other peoples pets like they are my own. I am committed to working because I have always grown up to have a good work ethic. I’m unavailable during nursing school classes and hospital shifts, but outside of those times, I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s unique needs and quality time. I treat every pet like a member of my own family, providing a safe, clean, and loving environment whether in my home or yours. I follow your pet’s specific routine for feeding, exercise, and playtime to ensure they feel comfortable and happy. I also pay close attention to any special needs or medical instructions, and always prioritize their safety and well-being.

“Jessica was wonderful! I came back home to a dog who’d been well taken care of while I was away and a house that was almost exactly as I’d left it. Jessica was also incredibly communicative and I could not be happier with her services while I was away!”


About: I’ve taken care of animals for eight years now. I’ve house/dog sat for all different breeds ranging from puppies to elderly dogs. I also used to work with a dog breeder so I’ve taken care of multiple dogs at once. I work full time, but I do have an hour lunch break that easily allows for time to stop by the house and take care of the dogs. I don’t work late so, after work, I have a lot of time to play with the pups! I care for pets in any way people want. Whether it’s crating them, helping potty train, feeding them at specific times, or even just keeping them company.

About: Hi, my name is Mackenzie, and I love being outside and seeing happy dogs on walks! I grew up with a dog that I loved dearly, and enjoyed nothing more than spending time inside and outside with him! Since his passing, I have gotten a little over a year of experience petsitting and dog-walking, and am looking to expand and help more families keep their fur babies happy! Whether that be by dropping by for a walk and some tummy rubs, or hanging out while you’re on vacation, I am ready and excited to help out! I’m a high energy person who loves playing with and caring for dogs; please contact me if you think I could be a good pet for your best friend! I have also become a big cat person in my personal life! I have cats of my own and I love them very much. They both have some minor medical conditions that require prescription feeding and monitoring, so I am used to sensitive kitties who need a little extra love. I would love to help care for cats in the area, so other cat people can travel and vacation and have time away from home knowing that their furbaby is well cared for and loved in their absence! I work from home and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule, so I am available throughout the day for feeding, walking, playing, and relaxing with your pets! I am very detail oriented and can ensure that the care your pet receives from me mimics the care they receive from you, to keep your furbaby comfortable and relaxed while you're away!

“Nicole was excellent! Both of my cats LOVED her. Mimi was feral and normally won’t come out of hiding for most people, but Nicole had her playing and snuggling !! She sent pics and/or videos every day and made me feel completely safe and comfortable that she was watching my home and cats. I’d give 10 stars if I could! Thanks Nicole!!”


About: I have experience with all animal types including dogs, cats, horses, livestock, birds, pocket pets and some reptiles. I am a licensed vet tech so I am also comfortable medicating animals that need it. I have 7 dogs, 6 cats, a leopard gecko and several chickens, all of which are friendly with other animals. I will only accept animals into my home to be boarded that are dog-friendly. I will treat your pets as if they are my own no matter if they are being boarded or just going for a walk. I do work full time but I am able to make drop in visits around my work schedule. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding your pets and their needs while you are working, vacationing, etc. I can care for pets early before work, mid-day and late after work. On weekends my schedule can be more flexible depending on what activities I have going on. Any dogs that come into my home will be treated as if they were my own. I have a fenced backyard for the dogs to play in. Boarding dogs will have their own room to hang out in.

About: I am a Canine Handler of 4 years where I have provided training, boarding, grooming, and medical services such as CPR to canines and there owners. I have entered into Prisons, Jails, Schools, Busch Gardens, Marathons, NFL Games, concerts, etc to conduct Narcotic and Explosive detection for the communities! I would love to open our home and knowledge to you and your fur family! We live in Callao, Virginia and love to travel! I have taken my canines to Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, D.C., Pennsylvania, Nee Jersey, New York and Texas for work purposes! Pet Care has a special slot of all the time, 24/7 routine, it is the most valuable part of the animal industry we are in. Pets are family members that don’t have the voice to communicate but the brain that will remember everything from trauma to the love. Pets are protected more than one way around me.

About: I've always loved animals and have tons of experience with all kinds. Right now I have a dog, a cat, 3 lizards and several aquariums so my experience is varied. My dog is a purebred German Shepherd so I have good experience with larger breeds. I work full time during the week, so my availability will mainly be on weekends. I do sometimes have Fridays off so I may be able to accommodate certain Fridays. Due to having a cat and dog I will not be hosting animals in my home, however I would be happy to follow any instructions set out for me in caring for your animals.
