About: Animals—especially dogs—are my passion! I have over a decade of experience pet-sitting and grooming dogs, and have owned, fostered and cared for dogs, cats and exotic pets of all breeds and sizes in my home since I was very young. I have always been particularly passionate about caring for and working with dogs. I am the proud owner of two Australian Shepherds, who I enjoy training in behavior and agility. If you're in need of someone who is loving, patient and trustworthy to look after your dog(s), please don't hesitate to reach out! I look forward to having the opportunity to care for your beloved fur babies, and promise to love them like they’re my own while you’re away. *I have experience working as a dog groomer—I offer bathing services at an additional cost! Feel free to ask.* I currently work remotely full time, so I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide attentive care to your dog(s). I have a fenced-in backyard and two friendly Australian Shepherds to keep your dog company. Your dog will have as much supervised outside play time as they would like, and will have free roam of the main floor of my house at other times. If you prefer your pet to be crated at times, just let me know your preference and I’ll be happy to accommodate. ***Note: to avoid stomach upset/any allergic reactions, dogs in my care will ONLY be given food and/or treats supplied and approved by their owner. Additionally, to help protect my family, home and other dogs in my care, I ask that owners please ensure their dogs are up to date with flea/tick/worm preventative. If parasites are found, a $100 cleaning fee will apply.***

About: Hi, my name is Amelia Reedy. I have been taking care of dogs all my life, whether it be for neighbors or family, and have experience with all sizes of furry friends. Currently within my home, I take care of my two middle-aged dogs. I also often take care of my grandmother’s senior chocolate lab. My childhood pet whom my family had for 16 years, Sierra, was an Australian Cattle Dog with lots of energy, so I am also quite experienced with active pups that require considerable amounts of exercise. Overall, my goal is take care of your companions in a manner that will keep both them and you as happy and comfortable as possible! I am currently enrolled at Virginia Commonwealth University, so I am a seasonal sitter for the summer months and will be available during breaks as well. I am free and flexible to watch dogs each day of the week. Sunday evenings are the only times which I am unavailable to do so. I am available to care of your pet at your home, as I have three dogs of my own in my home that are sometimes unpredictable with new dogs.

“Kaitlin is very punctual responsible and kind with my dog would recommend her to anyone”

About: I have 7 years experience as a veterinary technician and many more just in general. I have a bachelor’s degree in pre-veterinary biology along with many animal internship experiences. Available 24/7 when needed. Along with my children, we can give your pets attention and lots of love! If your pet does not like children we can also establish another plan of care. I am also able to keep small and exotic animals. Please only reach out if you are a serious inquiry. Please know that I make my plans around watching and taking care of your fur babies so that I can give them all the love and attention I possibly can while you are away! I have a giant fenced in yard and a very friendly dog. I am able to come to your house for potty breaks and feedings. I do require proof of up to date vaccines (bordatella, rabies and distemper.) Must also have an up to date NEGATIVE fecal and heartworm test and your pet must be up to date on flea and tick medication.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and provided medications when needed including pills, eye drops, and shots! I also am flexible to what your pet’s routine already is! I’m home for summers from college (Go Dukes) and I’ve always loved animals, so pet-sitting is my only job over this time! I’m available all days throughout the week! When you’re vacationing in the summer I will look after your pets and give you peace of mind with pictures I take of them and I always leave your house looking like I was never even there!

“Stephanie was great, she came in and walked my big baby and gave him some much needed snuggles. I booked her last minute to help and she saved the day!”

About: I am owned by my Australian Shepherd mix Luke, Flat Coat Retreiver Mack, chihuahua mix Dover and Jack Russel Dallas and I am here to put your mind at ease while you go on vacation or out of town for a business trip! I also have extensive experience with the feline variety. I am an EMT-B for humans, but I have also taken training classes in dog/cat CPR and Heimlich. Not that we will need it. I have experience in administering medication by mouth, IM injections and testing blood glucose. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I would prefer to stay in your home so that the fur kid will be more comfortable and maybe it will help with any separation anxiety. I do not mind bringing in the mail or any other task that may be similar.

About: I have grown up surrounded by all sorts of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, bearded dragons, chickens, and more, which sparked my lifelong passion for animal care. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from Virginia Tech, where I deepened my knowledge of animal health, behavior, and management. Additionally, I worked for three years in a veterinary hospital, where I gained hands-on experience assisting with medical procedures, patient care, and client education. These experiences have provided me with a strong foundation in animal science and care across a wide range of species. I’m an Animal Science teacher currently on summer break, and I’m looking to fill my time with puppy love and long walks. Growing up with all kinds of animals and earning my degree in Animal Science from Virginia Tech, I’ve always had a deep love and understanding of animals. With three years of hands-on experience working in a veterinary hospital, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m reliable, flexible, and excited to spend my free time giving dogs the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when it comes to animals in the home. My time at home with pets is always filled with playtime, cuddles, belly rubs, and plenty of attention. I create a loving, secure environment where animals feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. There’s rarely a moment when I’m not either snuggling with a dog, playing fetch, or simply making sure they feel safe and loved. Building trust through kindness, consistency, and gentle care is at the heart of every interaction I have with animals.

“Makayla was great with my puppies, she took the time to meet them with some help which is understandable because it’s the first time meeting my puppies. Walked with them and tracked if they pooped or peed. Very friendly and understanding. Will be rebooking and making future arrangements for my puppies with her.”

About: I have been pet sitting and house sitting for 1+ days at a time for about 11 years. I treat every home with respect and all pets as my own. I love bonding with and meeting new animals! Each family I've sat for has called me back to sit for them again! Additionally, I have met many new doggos when babysitting in new family's homes. I always treat the pets just as well as the kiddos, giving them lots of love and behind the ear scratches. My family has always had dogs and I've loved dogs of all breeds since I was a little girl. I am a full time speech-language pathologist during the school year, but have flexibility in my schedule and I’m working from home half of the week. I am available for am/pm/afternoon drop in/walk visits and some weekends depending on location and dates. In your home I am comfortable and confident in my abilities taking your dogs out for walks on leashes, or leaving them out in the backyard to get some movement. I can stay and play for a while as needed to give them attention. I have a loving pit-mix at home. If our dogs got along we could potentially plan on having your pet come stay with us for a week/weekend! Additionally, we do have enough space (2 level home), a crate, and a fenced in yard so we can accommodate having another dog who does not get along with other dogs.

About: I have pet-sat since I was in high school, and I have become a reliable person to care for friends' and co-workers' pets. I have pet-sit overnight many times and have cared for young and older cats and dogs. I'm a teacher, so I am currently off for the summer. I have PT 2-3 times a week and have a vacation planned in July. I can do mornings/afternoons/evenings depending on the day. A few of the dogs I cared for had an electric fence or a fenced in back yard. I have a fenced in backyard at my home and have let the family pet (who belongs to my parents) play in the area. I have taken the family pet for walks around the neighborhood, and am willing to do so, if needed. My home is also an open space, making it a safe and comfortable area for pets to enjoy.

About: I have a dog of my own and 2 cats and I love them so very much, have had pets all my life just like most of my friends I love to help with their pets as well I am a current part time phlebotomist looking for a Side job where it can fit on my week days and even some weekends in the mornings and even in the evenings I have a nice green backyard, a dog friendly neighborhood and a loving dog of my own, many dog parks near me as well. My home is a safe environment. I currently work part time but the days i am off I’ll plenty of time for the pups or kitties! Plus some cuddles too of course! I have an open backyard and front yard, so plenty of space to run and play and can crate your pet if crate is provided
