About: As a passionate animal advocate, I've had the privilege of serving as the Foster Care Coordinator at the Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society for 1 year, while also volunteering with shelters throughout my adult life. Additionally, I'm a Certified Veterinarian Assistant, and my life's journey has been enriched by sharing it with diverse animals, from beloved domestic pets like dogs and cats, to hospice and senior animals. I'm committed to providing your cherished pets with the same love, care, and compassion that I've devoted to my own. I am thrilled to be available Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. If you have a special request for different hours, I invite you to share your needs and I will eagerly discuss and arrange a solution that works for you. I will nurture your fur babies with the same love and devotion I would shower upon my own precious little ones. With my extensive shelter experience, I have been blessed to work with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, temperaments and life stages. I have had the joy of caring for rambunctious puppies and the privilege of providing comfort to senior dogs and cats.
About: I love pets of all sizes, shapes, and colors! I can’t remember a time in my life where I didn’t have at least one animal. I have had dogs, cats, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, turtles, and ferrets. I know I hate leaving my pet family at home during the day, so let me brighten up yours with walks and visits while you’re at work, and cuddles and company while you’re away! I work full-time as an ER nurse in our local trauma center. I typically work days but my schedule is variable. Any questions about availability, please ask! My fiance and I live together, so we are a team in taking care of your pets when they come stay in our home. He has had pets all of his life and is always happy to have an extra pet around. I am looking forward to meeting your pet and brightening up their day, and yours. I have my own pets I care for every day. I’m home often during the week and am able to take my dog outside and walk through my neighborhood so he can get exercise. I am also home most weekends and therefore am able to give my pet all of the love and attention he deserves. Pets are family. There are no rules regarding pets not being on furniture or in certain areas of the home. Unless your rules are different, this goes for your pets too! Trust me to make your furry friend just as much a family member as mine!
About: Trustworthy and Caring Dog Sitter with Over a Decade of Personal Dog Ownership Experience. Thank you for considering me as your dog sitter. I look forward to providing a safe and trustworthy environment for your dog, filled with love, care, and endless belly rubs. I currently work outside the home full-time M-F with a lunch break at 1200 where I come home and walk my 12 year old dog. I have a fenced yard, a 12 year old Yorkie, and plenty of places for your pup to explore on walks. Your pup will be cared for as a member of the family.
About: Hello, my name is Kathy and I offer overnight boarding, day care, and walking for mellow and senior dogs and I specialize in caring for cats and kittens. I have lived with and cared for both cats and dogs my whole life, from young ones to seniors, as well as sick pets who need medical attention. I am skilled at giving oral medication and shots. I also volunteer at my local no-kill shelter and handle cats of all sizes. My husband and I live with our small introverted tripod dog and 2 cats in a house with a fenced-in backyard. Our neighborhood is quiet and safe with sidewalks. Our home is a relaxing space for senior, mellow, and/or introverted dogs - if your dog enjoys cuddling on the couch or slow strolls around a quiet neighborhood, then we have the perfect home! I also offer the following services separately: - Dog baths (shampoo + conditioner; $15/bath) - Cat nail trimming ($10/session) Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home with a generally flexible schedule. I'm able to set my own hours for the most part and can be available over lunch as well as before and after work. I'm also able to take frequent breaks to let dogs outside in our fenced-in backyard with a 6-foot fence. After work, we will go for a walk around the neighborhood. I'm the primary caretaker but my husband helps when he is home. Boarding: I have a small, introverted tripod and 2 cats. As such, I will only board mellow, senior, and/or introverted dogs who are good with cats. My cats will not bother your baby as long as they don't bother the cats. Drop-ins: I understand every pet has its own personality and will respect their needs! I'm happy to play with your energetic companion or leave your shy loved one alone and let them come to me. No matter what, I am always attentive to their body language.
About: I’ve always loved animals, I have a 3 year old Australian Shepherd and he is my whole world. I will treat your fur baby with the love, care, and attention that I show my own fur baby. When I’m watching your pet, they will be safe, happy, and have the best time! I currently work full time, but I am available late evenings on week days and all day on most weekends. I am always happy to be flexible with my schedule. I live in an apartment so my dog gets plenty of walks, outdoor time, mental, and physical stimulation throughout the day. I provide a calming, safe environment in my home for my pup, and I bring that same calm and caring energy to every animal I meet.
About: I've loved animals since I was a kid and have cared for many throughout my life! I was tasked with raising my family dog since she was a puppy when I was in high school, and I helped my college roommate with her puppy! I have walked/boarded many dogs and cats since moving to Virginia! Being in the military, my coworkers travel a lot so I have become the workplace's go-to "pet auntie." I genuinely love to spoil pets and providing them with a safe and homey environment while their loved ones are out! I have a fairly flexible work schedule so I can come back to my home or to your home to take care of your pet! Early morning, lunch, and evenings are especially free, so I can work around that depending on your needs. I do not own pets, so they will be here as a single child in the case they are boarded! Crates, food, litter boxes, etc will need to be provided as I don't own those things. I have access to many parks around my neighborhood, so walkability is not an issue!
About: I am an animal lover & have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, lizards, birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, pigs, goats, cows, & horses.

I work full-time sometimes from home so I will do my best to accommodate my clients & fur-babies schedules & needs if possible for the days requested. I am interested in walking dogs for clients, follow agreed-upon routes, schedules & dispose of waste. I will pay attention to details and be sure they have food and water and dispose of their waste.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a child, I have always had a dog of my own as well as cared for cats and hamsters.

I work full time however I am home daily after 330pm and on weekends. I am available to have your fur baby stay in my home with a potty break mid day and lots of love after work or for a drop in and walk at your home. I have 2 dogs of my own, one is 5 years old and the other is 1 year old. Both boys are very friendly and love having other dogs to play with. I keep a gate on hand to separate them from our guest if need be because sometimes they just can’t stop playing and our guest need a break to relax.
About: I have owned many dogs/cats/ducks/horses. I have been relied on by many family members and friends to check in their furry friends. I can do anything that needs to be done including washing, walking, feeding, or just playing. Please reach out to me! I am currently working as an Amazon driver with a flexible schedule. I am also willing to check in on your fur baby around my weekly schedule. I will keep up with trash, cleaning litter boxes, and changing puppy pads like the house is my own. And of course always keep the water jug full.

About: Ever since I was a child I have loved animals of every kind. I would love to care for your fur babies whether it’s overnight or just for a stroll.

I am able to keep a solid routine with the owners needs. Any services that are needed I can provide. Overnights, walking, play dates, etc.
About: With my 3+ year of ongoing experience in the veterinary field I prioritize always being a helping hand in anyway that I can while supporting your fur baby. Taking care of animals is more than a task, but also an enjoyable experience for me! My only scheduling conflict days are Tuesdays and Thursdays due to college classes, but I am willing to compromise if reached out to in advance! I guarantee to care for your pet as if they are mine and even better. I believe that our pets need to be taken care of & nourished too as if they are our family members as well ❤️

She treats my dogs as if they were her own. She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. My dogs adore her and that means everything to me. It is apparent from the moment you see her interact with your dog that it is not just a business to her, it is her passion. The peace of mind in knowing that my dogs are well cared for is priceless.”
