About: I walk an Jog everyday. I love dogs an puppies and cats! I also have 3 pet rabbits so if you have a rabbit I can take care of it as well. I have 3 dogs and 4 cats. 2 of my dogs are pure breed German shepherds so I’m not scared of big dogs!! I can do any drop in visit for cats or dogs or walks I’m a stay at home mom. My time is pretty free daily. I’m available for any drop in visit or daily walks. I also did Certified nursing my junior year of high school at a vocational school. I will follow all care instructions for the clients house and everything they tell me for the care of the pets they have so they know it’s right.

About: Hi! I’m MacKenzie, your pet’s new best friend and part-time squirrel scout. While I might not have a fancy pet-sitting degree, I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, and my own dog (a.k.a. my four-legged child) has taught me plenty—especially about basic training, reactivity, and the art of treating every leaf like it’s a masterpiece. I’m also a pro at giving meds and following care instructions to a T, so your pet’s routine won’t miss a beat. Plus, as an avid hiker, I’m more than happy to take active pups on day hikes for a little extra adventure! I get that every walk is a big deal, every squirrel is a personal nemesis, and if there’s a cat involved, they’re probably running the household. And yes, I’m here for my own steps too, because walking is my therapy! I'm currently in between full-time jobs, so I have ample flexibility for pet care throughout the week—perfect for midday walks, medication administration, or just dropping by to say “hello”! If your pet lives more than 30 minutes from Petersburg, they should be comfortable being home alone for up to 8 hours once I return to full-time work. For now, my schedule is wide open, especially on weekends! Routine is important to me, and it’s no doubt important to your pets! My primary goal is always to limit the amount of change, so feeding and potty break times will be strictly adhered to. If there’s valuable training you’ve worked hard to implement, it won’t go to waste! Don’t be shy about letting me know exactly which cues and commands to use, and any other little personality quirks I should know about.

About: I've had dogs since I can remember. My fiancé watched dogs in the past with rover and I would always help. Take the dogs to the park on my days off, play outside, and train them when needed. I am currently on veterans disability so I can focus my whole day to your furry friend. No worry about being stuck in all day. I have 5 acres of yard for them to play on. I have lots of space if needed, room for crates, room outside. Plenty of space so your furry friend won't feel trapped. My animals mind their own.

About: I have had dogs since I can remember! I haven’t had my own dog for 5 years now, but have watched many of my friends animals! I love training them, taking care and watching them. I have watched many dogs with multiple different personalities! I am super active so I love to play with them and take them on walks or to parks. Whatever the dogs needs are, I am open to learning and helping out the best way I can! I am currently job hunting and just finished school, so my schedule is super available and I am very flexible! Whatever your needs are I can work around that! Depending on the needs of your dog and the owner, I am super adaptable based off your wishes. It is a priority to me that the treatment and training of your dog is what you are comfortable with!

“I can’t thank Sophia enough for taking care of our babies! She was available at the last minute. Was so flexible and loving and kind. We were gone all day. She stopped in for 2 visits. Sent us pictures and communicated with me throughout the visit. When we got home both our dogs were so very calm and not distressed at all! Thank you thank you thank you!!

About: My love for animals (Especially dogs) started at a very young age and only progressed as I got older. I grew up learning how to care for many different animals including chickens, Bunnies, Dogs & Cats. Since living on my own I’ve cared for many dogs from Chihuahua’s to Pit bull’s to Great Danes. I have 2 sweet fur babies of my own; Chanel is a Bully-Pitbull mix who is 2 years old. And Vera who is a Petite golden doodle who has just turned 1. Both of my dogs are very sweet & have the best personalities to make your dog feel safe & at home. I’ve also taken care of dogs with dog/people Aggression so I am no stranger to handling serious situations. My sister is a Vet-Tech and has taught me many important things when it comes to taking care of pets including medically. I can’t wait to meet your babies & love them as much as my own!! I only accept dog care when I’m a able to be home with them! If any other circumstances were to arise I would discuss with you before booking to make sure you’re ok with the care your dog will receive! I will always treat animals with love & patience. Dogs will be kept inside of the home unless being taken out for a potty break or play time. All Dogs are allowed on furniture in my house unless Owner Request Otherwise. I also own a Very LARGE crate & a small one for dogs who’s owners prefer them to be kenneled or kennel trained.

About: I am a dog lover, I have been taking care of dogs of many kinds for the past 5 years. I will be very loving and caring towards your dogs.

“Max is wonderful! My energetic pup loved him , and he was needed after I had foot surgery and couldn’t walk the dog. I was home when Max came and went with my pup; he let me know each day when he was on his way, which was helpful. He was on time and reliable. I would definitely hire Max again. Thank you!”


About: I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life and will treat your dogs as if they were my own, with love and affection and a sense to have all the fun! I can bring toys and if you request my own pup to play she loves new friends I've walked dogs for friends, family and to those who requested it via my sitting and walking ads.

About: While I grew up with dogs throughout my adolescence, I also have years of experience working as a pet sitter and dog walker. I spent years working at a dog daycare and veterinary clinic as a technician, and prior to that was working as a pet sitter in community. I have always had a passion and immense love for animals , and deeply enjoy being able to take on work that allows me to spend time with them. My own dog, Kaia (the Golden Retriever puppy pictured), means the world to me so I know first hand how nerve wracking it can be to leave your dog in the care of someone else. I will provide your dog with patience, kindness, compassion, and fun, and hopefully be able to ease some of those worries! I have a very flexible schedule with a lot of free time that allows me to prioritize Rover. I can usually work around your schedule to walk your pup whenever needed! Growing up around dogs & having worked with them, I feel I have a good understanding of safety and the precautions necessary to ensure it. I am very patient and understand that each dog is unique and will have its own individual traits and needs. Working with dogs is such a passion of mine which allows me to bring lots of enthusiasm and joy into the job. Because of my own dog I will not be offering pet-sitting services in my own home, but am excited to offer walking services and pet sitting in the client’s home.
