About: Hey there – my name is Angie, and I’ve taken care of dogs 🐶most of my life. I am an experienced dog/cat owner who you can trust to take amazing care of your pet.❤️ I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with your pet. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I have a YorkiePoo of my own and would love to have more dogs but due to frequent traveling, it’s sadly not the right time for me. I love having the opportunity through Rover to love on other pets. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! My 13 year old son also helps me out on occasion because he wanted a way to earn some extra money 😊 I have a very flexible job so I am able to spend as much time with your pet as you'd like me to. I am also able to visit several times throughout the day if the need is there. My job allows me to work from anywhere so if a longer visit for companionship is needed I am happy to do that. I am happy to take your pet for a walk if that's what they are used to or spend some time with them letting them run around your yard. If they just need some company and some love for a bit then I am happy to just sit with them for a while and remind them that they are loved.

About: I’ve taken care of a couple of dogs in this area while people are on holiday leave or vacations. I enjoy dogs so much! I always had dogs growing up around the house and they are truly a man’s best friend! I currently work full-time during the day with a hybrid type work schedule that allows me to work from home part of the time. I have availability in the evenings and mostly weekends to be able to pet sit! The precaution of using a leash and making sure I am aware of using that for every single walk is crucial for safety on walks. I want to be able to care for your home well and lock up every time I come and go. I would most definitely ask for specific requests for your animals such as feeding time, when they need to go out, how often for walks to your specific liking.

About: My love for animals all started when I was eight and took care of a family friend's cats. Since then, I have gained experience with animals of all types and sizes. In addition to our family dog, I adopted a rabbit of my own who was my pride and joy for six years before succumbing to a hereditary health issue. I also have taken horse lessons, and I currently volunteer with a nearby animal shelter as a dog walker and socializer. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes and breeds, and I look forward to offering your pet the best care it can get. I am currently working remotely, so pet care will be sprinkled throughout my daily routine. Because my schedule is spaced out and very flexible, I will be able to visit your pet as many times as needed throughout the day (or even stay at the house while working if asked) to ensure that they are getting the quality care and attention they need. I work with my clients to give both them and their pets the best possible experience. Prior to hire, I am happy (and in fact, prefer) to have a free 15-30 minute consultation to familiarize myself to the pet and discuss any care specifics that the client may have. Because my care is individualized and will conform to the owner's wishes, I love to send pictures and videos throughout the day of the pet's activities and any extra-cute moments. I make it a habit to send short write-ups of the day and the pet's activities that day so that my clients feel as connected as possible to their pets.

About: As someone who was raised on a fully functioning farm, animal husbandry has been a part of my daily routine since I could walk! I have experience with almost every domestic animal under the sun, but dogs and cats have always been very personal to me. I would love to extend my love for pets to you and your fur family by caring for them as I would my own. Caring for pets is my full time job! I am highly flexible and usually able to accommodate whatever you and your furbabies need. When house sitting, I will need to leave at least once a day to check in at my house, but otherwise your pets have my full attention. I want your pets to be safe and happy. I am willing to take on whatever routine you have established to make your time away as easy on your pets as possible. Safety and fun are my top priorities!

About: With over 5 years of experience handling small to medium dogs, I've provided expert care through regular walks, feeding, grooming, and pet sitting for family friends. My passion for animals ensures they receive personal attention, comfort, and love, whether it's during daily routines or when they need a trusted sitter while their owners are away ! As a full-time graduate student, pet care fits into my routine by allowing me to balance my academic responsibilities with my love for walking outdoors. Since I’m new to Lynchburg, it’s a great way to explore the community while giving dogs the care and attention they need. I’m available evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends, with added flexibility on Wednesdays and Fridays, making it easy to adjust to your pet’s needs! I currently live in an apartment, which provides a great space to walk dogs outdoors. In the past, I've pet-sat in clients' homes, always respecting their space and following specific instructions to ensure their pets receive the best care. Although I don’t have any pets of my own after losing my dog two years ago, I approach each pet with the same love and attention I would for my own, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while in my care.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, I have a cat currently and family members have always had dogs and cats. I volunteered at the Humane Society throughout high school and have lots of experience pet sitting! 😻 I also used to foster kittens which I loved doing. I love being around animals and caring for them. I am a student working part time, so that gives me plenty of free time to check in on your furry friends throughout the day, take them on walks, and spend the night with them! I am a trustworthy person who will respect your space as I would my own and leave it better than I found it. I am an EMT-b and am working on my RBT certification, so I have been through several background checks and first aid trainings. Safety and trust are very important to me and if desired I can frequently send you pictures/videos of your pets throughout the day! 🫶

About: I have loved, and taken care of my own and other’s furry, feathery and scaly friends for many years, including rescue of domestic and wild animals. I absolutely love spending time with dogs, cats and every animal! I am so thankful for the honor and privilege to be able to do so. I am looking forward to the opportunity to meet and spend time with your precious, furry, feathery or scaly best friends. Let’s set up a meet and greet! …Or even a bit of time before my drop-in will do, so we all can get to know each other. Once a visit is scheduled, I will drop in to enrich your pup’s or cat’s day with love, playful exercise, feeding , refreshing their water, affection, talks, walks, car rides at your request, dog park visits, and even a bath upon request . I will take pride in providing your furry family member with the exact loving safety, care and protection customized by YOU, their parent. Often our pet needs are due to travel. Please let me know if you’d like any packages on your doorstep to be brought in and don’t hesitate to ask if you would like me to give your plants a drink while I’m there.🐾- 📦-💦 🪴

About: I have owned and cared for dogs for most of my life, including huskies, shepherd mixes, hounds and small breeds. I have cared for several senior dogs and worked closely with a trainer for my husky pup. I work a flexible schedule, so I will have plenty of time to devote to your fur baby! I live an active lifestyle so I can provide lots of outdoor exercise time as needed. I am comfortable with taking your fur baby on walks, feeding and playtime as well as litter box cleaning for the kitties. I am respectful, calm, clean and reliable.

About: I have always loved dogs! My first dog sitting job was seven years ago, and since then I have dog sat for eight families--all with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I carry a calm, comforting, feminine energy that I find settles and reassures dogs that may have anxious or hyperactive personalities. I have experience from a 5lb Shih Tzu to a 120lb Saint Bernard; puppies and senior dogs, all of which I enjoyed with no hiccups! I am a current online student with open availability throughout the weekdays. I will be unavailable on Saturdays with some exceptions. Please contact me to ensure that I will be available for a Saturday you may need! I am unavailable to host dogs in my home due to my lease policy. Safety is my main priority: for your dog, your home, and myself. In our consultation I will go over your dog's safety in their home set-up, any behavioral triggers I need to be aware of, and the safety and security of your home. I will also be 'on-call' for any phone calls (or sending photos!) during the duration of my time with your pet.

About: With 4 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, I will bring loving, reliable, and attentive care. Whether it’s daily walks, drop ins, play time, feeding, and etc I will treat every pet like my own. I focus on creating a safe and fun environment and any pet owner can count on me. I work a small 3 hour internship weekly and this job will be perfect as I am very free through out 7 days a week. You can trust me to care for your pet and home with the same respect and attention I’d give my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always mindful of your pet’s safety and comfort.

About: I’ve had dogs from childhood up to now as a college student. I had experience taking care of my second dog once he was a senior and needed extra care. And additional experience working with two vet clinics. Currently working on and off until June 22, when I will move to a full time job. Mostly free every day up until early evening until that date I can easily walk your dog anywhere you’d like me to for as short or long as needed. I’m always aware of surroundings and will always ensure safety of your dog. I will make sure to keep the dog entertained and safe if you’re looking for someone to look in on them. And if desired, will keep contact with you with updates. I am more than happy to look after your doggo!

About: I have cared for animals my entire adult life. I have cared for dogs, cats, horses, goats and pigs. There is not an animal that walks the earth that I do not love and respect. They bring so much joy and love to the world, I feel compelled to return that love and care to them whenever possible. I am currently working at night and my wife works from home. Your pet will never be alone in our home and my schedule is for home visits, walking and doggie daycare is completely open from 6am until 11pm. I have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly puppy that loves other dogs. We have a park with trails directly across from our house for walks and playtime. I also own a large crate that can be used if your pet feels more secure there.

About: I’ve had animals in my household my entire life. I currently have 2 labs one of such is rescued with health problems. I’m very comfortable giving dogs pills and shots along with feeding. I don’t mind high energy. I have a 3 year old chocolate lab and energy doesn’t get much higher than that. I love to play fetch, hopefully your pup does too! Senior dogs are also welcome! Im no stranger to cleaning up potty accidents as well. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Im an open book and available all day.

They hold a very special place in my heart. I will never allow anything to happen to them.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10 years old and probably younger! I was always fascinated by animals and wanted to help my parents in anyway with our pets. I helped train all our dogs and trained my own dog all my own since she was a puppy. I’ve dealt with all the puppy stage antics to all the grumpy senior dogs! I’ve had cats for as long as I can remember and rescued my own cat a year ago. I know all about the troublesome kitten phases to the aloof senior kitties. I’ve had my own experience in giving medications to all ages of dogs and cats. I am also in school to be a licensed veterinary technician so I have some skills in that field as well. I’ve also owned all kinds of other animals from turtles, hamsters, Guinea pigs and mice to fish and rabbits and reptiles as well. I really just love all animals and would treat your pets as my own! I currently work part time so my schedule changes week to week but I’d still have plenty of time to visit and walk pups of all kinds or go play and check on kitties or other animals.

“Angela and Gabe have watched my two cats for me several times. They are both very responsible, they show up to feed the cats when schedules and they are very interactive with the cats.

“As Sophia’s mother, I’ve seen firsthand just how devoted and caring she is when it comes to animals. Over the years, she’s brought home kittens to foster on more than one occasion—each time committing herself fully to their care for several months. She is very responsible and it’s clear that she truly enjoys spending time with them and making sure they feel safe and cared for. She’s patient, attentive, and truly loves every animal she meets. I can say with complete confidence that any pet in Sophia’s care will be safe, loved, and well looked after.

“Your pet is in better hands than in anyone else's with Brenda. She gives her undivided attention to any animal she is with. It's clear, by seeing her care for wildlife and pets alike, that she loves all animals. I've only seen one other person as good as her. ONE OF MY EXPERIENCES Brenda fostered and cared for a piglet that I rescued. The rescue was in dire need and out of town. The piglet, who's whole body was one giant scab (could barely move at all), was in her care for ONE week. When I got there, half the work was done and the piglet was walking around, all oiled up and already learning a routine AND commands. I highly recommend Brenda! 11 Stars!”

“Highly recommend Mary's services! Mary lovingly took care of our two cats while we were on vacation, and I can't praise her enough. She was communicative, followed everything regarding their care that we asked, and was even accommodating when we requested an extension for her services--all with a joyful attitude. It's clear that she's excellent with animals. We'll definitely reach out to her again!”
