About: I have been a cat parent for my whole life in which I have administered medication to them including eye drops, ear drops, liquid & pill oral medication. I have also grown up around dogs as well given that most of my boyfriend and friends are dog parents. I have walked their dogs before and taken care of their cats as well. I can clean litter boxes, food bowls, vomit, etc. I currently am a student at James Madison University, so message me for specific availability during the week. Additionally, I do not have class on Friday, and am mostly available during the morning and mid afternoon. I am willing to come multiple times a day and multiple days a week unless I have a prior engagement. I have an orange tabby cat that is strictly indoors to optimize his safety against potentially harmful animals, insects, and people. I care for my cat and those I have taken care of by respecting the boundaries that their owners have set regarding indoors or outside pets. I clean their food and water bowls every day before I give them food. Also, I will play with them frequently unless they do not want to engage. I believe adhering to the pet's needs as well as their owners is deeply important.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is how deeply I care about animals. I’ve grown up with two cats and one dog who are like family to me. I take pride in giving them the attention, care, and love they deserve, whether it’s long walks, brushing and feeding them or just spending time with them. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just spending quality time, I always make space in my schedule to give animals the love and attention they need. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, so I prioritize it without hesitation. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, their safety and comfort come first. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and pet friendly! I will of course follow any routines or instructions provided closely, because I know how important consistency is for animals.
About: I have grown up in a pet friendly household and taken care of my neighbors pets frequently. I love being around both cats and dogs! I am on summer break so I have a lot of free time! I have an internship that is very flexible and once a week (ending soon though) but other than that I currently do not have any other things that interfere with my schedule. I like to create an environment for pets where they feel comfortable and relaxed. I love giving them lots of toys and playing with them, but knowing when to give them space or let them nap. I also love taking them on long walks or just giving them lots of pets :)
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 5 years - dog walking the past 2 and cat sitting even longer. I absolutely love going on long walks, spending time outdoors and teaching dogs new tricks along the way. Your pet’s safety, happiness and routine are my top priority. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to drop in at times that are most convenient for you and your pet.

About: I’ve been caring for and pet-sitting dogs for about five years. Recently, I’ve been working on properly training puppies and young dogs. I will always try to fulfill any requests to make you and your pet comfortable. I’m currently home for break from my university, so I’m free majority of the time to take care of your dog! I don’t mind times that are later in the night. I have a fenced yard and a dog to play with. I am able to crate your dog, complete complex feeding routines, and bathing them if desired.
About: My family had two aging beagles I helped care for that eventually passed away. They both required much attention and medication. Any time my family members or friends need someone to watch their dog, they ask me. I have experience working with smaller sized dogs and much bigger dogs. I have also worked at a humane society. I’m currently in grad school but I will still have plenty of time to care for your fur babies and will make sure they are happy and healthy! I will make sure they go to the bathroom regularly, make sure they get plenty of exercise/walks, make sure they are well fed, and make sure they are overall safe and comfortable. It is my job to make sure your fur baby is happy! I am a responsible and compassionate care giver and I treat animals like people.
About: I have always had a love and passion for animals since I was a little girl. I started in elementary school by offering to walk my neighbors' dogs just so I could have the opportunity to play with them. Over the years, I have gained even more love and experience in properly caring for all animals as if they were my own. I am a student at JMU who is looking for something part time. I have a lot of free time in the afternoon and most weekends which I would love to spend my time with your wonderful animals! I currently live in an apartment building but is willing to take them in, take them to dog parks, and go on long walks. I am comfortable and flexible on what I would need to do to ensure the happiness and safety for your pets!
