Cat Sitting Wangle Junction

“Rita took great care of my cat, Artemis, while I was away for a week! She followed the instructions closely and communicated clearly and quickly each day. She even went above and beyond taking care of Artemis during a surprise apartment pest control treatment! She takes great pictures of pets as well, I’ve never seen Artemis so photogenic. Highly recommend Rita for all your pet-sitting needs!”

About: Growing up with large breeds (Bernese Mountain Dog & German Shepard), I’ve always been a lover of all pets, especially dogs. Since relocating to Blacksburg area for work 8 years ago, I’ve pet sat for a variety of animals in the region, ranging from puppies to senior dogs with specific medical needs. It would be an honor to meet and care for your pets! I work full time at VT with some remote days per week, so it can be a flexible schedule. I am happy to adjust schedules or remote days to meet your pets needs! I don’t have any pets in my current home, so I’m flexible to either board at my townhouse or stay at the pets home! I offer both options to all families and willing to drive up to an hour distance.

“We are so amazed by the care that Rita provided our boys when we were away. We knew from our initial meeting that she offers her services because she loves pets so much. We will definitely only hire her for our future needs and we recommend her without reservation!”

About: I had a a mixed breed dog she lived until she was about 11 years old. She had a heart murmur and a really bad knee so I know how to help support a dog that might have health problems or mobility issues. I have taken care of another larger dog of border collie blue heeler mix that has battled dislocating hips, throwing out her back and cancer. She is 11 now I have worked with a senior Great Pyrenees and I know these aren’t dogs, but I have taken care of multiple rescue animals from anything from fish all the way up to a cat and I have nursed every single one of them back to health so I do have experience giving animals medicines My schedule is a little bit all over the place. I never really know exactly what days I am off or not but as of right now, I should be available between 11 a.m. to about 2 PM but depending on the day I can work later I will make sure that your pet will not get into anything. It’s not supposed to make sure your pet does not escape your house. I will follow your instructions of how you want me to take care to your pet if your pet is to be let outside in a gate I will make sure that the gate is locked and secured if your dog needs to be chained outside. I will make sure that the chain and whatever it is secure to is stable and the dog will not get loose. I will ensure your pet safety if I’m walking your dog or if it’s in your house, I will make sure that no other animal comes after your pet. If I am at your home, I’m not gonna let anybody into your home that you do not personally know and without your verbal consent that that person can enter your home.

About: Hello! My name is Tessa. 🐾 Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember & caring for them is truly second nature to me. ❤️ From playful puppies or curious kittens.. to gentle senior pets. I’ve loved & looked after them all: including birds, fish & reptiles! What I’ve learned over the years is simple, every pet has their own personality & they deserve care that fits who they are! Some pets need extra play & energy while others just want a calm, reassuring presence. I pride myself on tuning in to what your pet needs the most. Whether that’s belly rubs, long walks or a quiet snuggle. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone new. That’s why I treat every pet like they’re my own. Patience, reliability & plenty of love are top priority! You can count on me to keep your pet safe, happy & comfortable while you’re away. Whether you have a bouncy pup or a sweet senior cat, I’d love the chance to give them the care & attention they deserve! As a dedicated parent myself, i understand the true importance of routine & reliability! Currently I am available weekdays ( Monday through Friday ) for dog walks or drop-ins during the daytime. This schedule allows me to give your pets consistency & focused attention while you’re at work or running errands! You can count on me to be punctual, caring & fully present for every visit: whether your pup needs a midday energy burn or some company while you’re away, i’m here to help! When caring for your pets, safety & trust is KEY 🌟 I treat every animal like family as if they were my own: making sure they are secure, comfortable & most importantly.. stress-free at all times! I pay close attention to their behaviors ( good & bad ) routines & their surrounding environment to ensure that they feel safe & happy whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home! Building trust with both pets & their people is a top priority of mine as I believe in open communication, gentle handling & creating a calm, positive atmosphere during every visit!

About: Hello, my name is Lucas and I have had many different kinds of cats and dogs my whole life. I currently have 2 cats and 1 dog who I love to take care of the best I can, and love meeting new pets. I am currently enrolled in Radford University, and love taking care of pets in my time off. It should be a breeze scheduling to take care of your pets with me. I will go above and beyond any task I am given, and make sure it is done meticulously how the client has given me the instructions.

“Great communication and flexible with drop in times. I can tell she loves animals and truly cared about my dog while I was away. I would definitely ask her to pet sit again!”

About: I’ve cared for cats, dogs, and chickens my whole life and currently share my home with three cats, so multi-pet households and juggling different feeding routines are second nature to me. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies and kittens to anxious or reactive pets who need a calm, patient presence and a little extra trust-building. I also volunteer at my local animal nonprofit so caring for animals is a real part of my life. Whether it’s house sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walks, I follow your pet’s routine closely and send photo updates so you can relax while you’re away. I work a standard 9–5 on weekdays, so I’m available for morning, evening, and overnight visits during the week, plus weekends. There could be exceptions that come up, but I’ll always confirm timing in advance and stick closely to your pet’s usual feeding and walk schedule. Since I care for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and follow your instructions to the letter. I keep doors and gates secured, always leash dogs before heading out, and stay alert to each pet’s comfort and body language. I lock up when I leave and send photo updates so you know everyone’s safe and happy.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had dogs of my own, so caring for them has always come naturally to me! I currently have two pups of my own who are truly my babies. I’m also a registered nurse, so I’m very responsible, attentive, and comfortable following specific care instructions. I also have previous experience dog sitting and dog walking through Rover. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your fur baby, and I’ll always treat them like I would my own! 🐾🥰 I’m a nurse, so my schedule varies week to week, but I typically have several days off at a time which gives me plenty of availability for pet care. On my days off, I’m happy to spend lots of time giving your pets attention, playtime, walks, and plenty of love! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’m very attentive and will follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, routines, walks, or special needs. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

“Oaklea took great care of my pup. I had a last minute trip and needed someone to check in on Paisley and she replied and set up the booking very quickly. 10/10 would recommend”

About: Hello! My name is Hayley and I am an animal lover of all kinds. I had a chihuahua for 14.5 years until I had to say goodbye to him in august of 2024. Since then I have found joy in helping others take care of their furry family members. My Pedro was special needs so I am comfortable giving meds or helping with disabled animals as well. I promise to take care of your babies just like they are my own! Same day bookings and short notice bookings will be dependent on my full time work schedule as I work 3 twelve hour night shifts a week but please always reach out as I may be available! I am also willing to pet sitting for other animals like chickens, hedgehogs, etc. Just ask!! I am a full time night shift nurse so my schedule is crazy but allows me to spend the days with your pet. I am also able to get several days in a row off and spend 24/7 with your pet, if scheduled within enough time! If selected, I would treat your baby as if they are my own and would go above abd beyond in caring for them. I am unable to bring pets to my home but am more than happy to care for them in the comfort of their own homes.

About: What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong love for animals and the deep-rooted experience that comes from growing up surrounded by them. From a young age, I’ve cared for a variety of pets—big and small—which taught me not only responsibility but how to connect with animals on a personal level. Over the years, I’ve become the go-to sitter for friends, family, and others who have reached out, trusting me to care for their pets as if they were my own. My approach is always compassionate, attentive, and tailored to each animal’s unique needs, providing both pets and their people with comfort and peace of mind. As a graduate student, I have a flexible and well-structured schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet sitting. I can be available for regular visits, walks, feedings when needed. Pet sitting brings me joy and a sense of balance. It’s a meaningful way for me to stay active, reduce stress, and do something I genuinely love alongside my studies. I care for pets with plenty of affection, playtime, and a calm, structured routine that helps them feel secure while away from their owners. When caring for pets at a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established routines closely, keeping things consistent and stress-free. I always communicate clearly with pet parents, provide updates, and treat every animal with the same care and respect I give my own.

About: I've been around dogs, cats and horses my entire life. I currently have a Blue Heeler, Easton, who is a ball full of energy so I know how important consistent care is for any animal. I am a veterinary assistant at a mixed animal clinic so I am very familiar and comfortable with caring for animals of all sizes! I know how important consistent care is for your pets and I treat every animal I care for like they’re my own. I can provide long-term care if you’ll be gone for a longer period of time or I can be more flexible and provide drop-ins, feedings, walks and much more- it's entirely based on what you need! If your pet should come to my house, I have a wonderful fenced in yard that is great for chase and playing fetch. My dog has been socialized since he was a pup and loves having another playmate! His favorite game is chase and fetch and he's always willing to share his toys with new friends. Easton comes with me to work so he has met dogs of all sizes and he always greets them with lots of kisses!

About: Hi there! My name is Kaitlyn and I have experience with everything from horses, to wolf-dogs, down to cockatoos and fish! I live a pretty active lifestyle, and love taking my guy out for runs and adventuring/hiking around the area. I would love to go exploring with your pups! I absolutely adore animals and treat them all with the utmost respect. I have experience with both puppies as well as senior dogs and have been around animals all my life. I started young with family pets and have recently within the past 4 years gotten one of my own! I own a Husky, German Shepherd/Malamute who's my big ole baby Potato! He's absolutely my whole life and if you can imagine it wasn't easy finding someone who was able to watch him without the help of Rover, which is why I wanted to also contribute and try and help others out because it's saved me in a bind or two! I don't mind larger dogs or high energy as my guy is the same way! I'd love to meet you and your pup, what girl can resist a couple of good boys?! I currently work part time with my grandparents taking care of them in their golden years so my hours are flexible and I’m happy to help out whenever I can, and will guarantee you a quick response! I currently do not offer care in my home, however, I would love to come to yours! I am very conscious of other people's homes and how comfortable your pets will be in the safety of their own space!

I am very gentle, caring, and active and love working with senior pets all the way to young energetic pets. With that, I am very observant which helps me pick up body language very well to understand what your pets needs are and recognize when things are off. I am looking forward to working with you and making sure your little loved ones are cared for while your away or when they need a little break during the day. Im currently working full time but I will be moving to a more flexible schedule over the next couple months. I can provide drop in visits in the afternoon or evening as well as overnight sitting.
