“Kirsten was fantastic! She was very communicative and made us feel at ease with lots of photos/videos of our dogs while we were away for the weekend. She is extremely friendly and caring/loving towards the dogs and really made sure to understand their schedule/needs during our meet-and-greet. Would highly recommend and hope to schedule with her again in the future!”

About: I was responsible for caring for my childhood senior dog. She was a small chihuahua mix that I was responsible for walking, feeding and giving oral medications. I also cared for a family friend’s two German Shorthaired Pointer’s for a week. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, crating and administering oral medications! I currently work full-time but have a flexible schedule that allows me to check-in on pets during the morning and evening. However, I can provide longer check-ins during the weekend and have no standing/recurring commitments during the weekend. As someone who has owned pets before, I am well aware of the safety precautions needed. I make sure that my home is pet-proof by making sure my plants are out of reach and any dangerous chemicals. I also have experience with crating dogs.

“Amberly was amazing! She stay at our house for a 10 day trip, and she took great care of my 2 dogs. She communicated very well and sent me photos. My dogs are my life, so it was so nice not having to worry about them while we were gone! ❤️”

“Shelby Ann took excellent care of Teddy. She followed his routine and gave us updates while we were gone. We will definitely use her as a dog sitter again and we are so thrilled that we found her!”

About: I have taken care of dogs within my household for 15 years now, with the additional walking & house sitting for neighbors! I recently started pet walking & sitting in Blacksburg this year and have had such a blast! As an incoming vet student this fall, I will bring an expertise and view that will be beneficial for the pet in their environment and for the owners. I am so motivated to support owners with their schedules by sitting or walking! I’m currently working part-time throughout the summer, and have time within the day to complete walks for your pets! I am also available to pet sit in-home for you if needed; preferably not Monday-Wednesday, but I am flexible! I always start off my sessions with building a connection with the pet prior. If possible, I like to meet prior to needing my services to socialize myself with the pet, so that trust can be gained. Once this is done, I love to play with the pets and cuddle them so that they feel secure! I love taking photos of the pets during walks to send to the owners, as this reassures them!

About: Ever since I was born I had an animal right by my side . I have learned to take care of animals and provide for them. I have taken care of friends, family and neighbors pets in the past. I also have worked at a dog daycare called tail chasers so I have experience with big dog groups. I’m good with cats as well . I’m experienced with walking multiple dogs at a time because I got 3 myself. I’m currently working 3:30 am to 12:00 pm so I will have plenty time to spend with your animals. I’m free on the weekends as well . Willing to come to your place to house sit and take care of your animals. I have done that in the past for people. Willing to also stop by and give water, food and walks with some play time on the side .

“I was amazed at how quickly Chauncey (our rescue dachsshnd) warmed up the Nancye. She has this innate ability to know a dog and his needs, placing that as top priority. She texted with pictures often, I left home for a much needed few days away without a worry at all. HIGHLY recommend and feel sure we'll want Nancye to pet/house sit for us again--SOON!”

“Marquesa was great with our 2 dogs. She kept us updated with texts and pictures during our weekend away. She is also very sweet. We definitely will use her again.”

Abbie S.

“Laura was absolutely wonderful. I’ve never left Paris overnight and Laura kept Paris very entertained and loved! I would definitely recommend Laura to sit you pet!”

Hope R.

“Savannah did an outstanding job caring for all of our pets. She handled our two large, high energy dogs with confidence and made sure they got plenty of exercise and attention. We were especially impressed with how quickly our typically shy cat warmed up to her and even started playing, which is very rare. It was clear that Savannah genuinely cares for them. We highly recommend her and will definitely be reaching out again in the future.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all ages and understand how to meet their unique needs! Whether it’s a playful puppy in training stages or supporting a senior pup with extra love and patience. I’m dependable, caring, and always focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I'm a lifelong dog lover, and have had experience taking care of my own 4 pups! Along with sitting for family and friends over the years. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I currently have a part-time job at Montgomery hospital and attend Radford University during the school year, but I still have plenty of availability outside of classes. A majority of my classes are done by 11 am. And Wednesdays are my busiest/fullest days. I enjoy spending my free time with animals, and I’m great at balancing my responsibilities while making sure pets get the attention and care they need! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to follow their usual routines to help the pet feel safe and comfortable. I give lots of attention, playtime, and care, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions! Whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or favorite walking routes. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.

I ensure pets are fed, exercised, and given bathroom breaks daily. I administer medications and provide grooming as needed. Weekly, I walk dogs, conduct training sessions when requested, and provide overnight or extended care. Communication with pet owners is a priority, and I remain flexible to accommodate special requests or changes. Pet care is not just a job, but a passion and lifestyle dedicated to the well-being and happiness of pets. I provide care for pets both in my own home and in my clients' homes. In my own home, I ensure that pets have a comfortable and safe environment. This includes providing them with their own space, such as a designated area or room, where they can rest and relax. I also make sure they have access to food, water, and toys to keep them entertained. Regular exercise and playtime are important to keep pets happy and healthy, so I make sure to engage them in activities they enjoy. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I follow their specific instructions and routines to maintain familiarity and minimize stress for the pets. This includes feeding them according to their usual schedule, administering any necessary medications, and providing them with companionship and attention. I make sure to keep their living spaces clean and tidy, including regularly cleaning litter boxes, cages, or any other designated areas. In both settings, I prioritize the well-being and safety of the pets. This involves monitoring their behavior and health, and promptly addressing any issues or concerns. I also maintain open and regular communication with the pet owners, providing updates on their pets' well-being and addressing any special requirements or requests they may have. Overall, my goal is to provide a loving and comfortable environment for pets, whether it is in my own home or in the homes of my clients.
