Dog Sitting in Zion Crossroads

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats off and on for friends and neighbors go a few years. I’ve always had good experiences and never had any major issues with the pets. I can check on pets in the mornings and evenings, almost everyday of the week. The afternoons, I can make work, but it depends on the week. I have two locations, one with a yard and one without, so boarding is not typically the best option for me, unless if you pet is fine with small spaces.

About: I’ve been raised around animals for my entire lifetime. I’ve assisted in feeding, entertaining, grooming, and cleaning up after pets. I do not have any pets at home, however, this allows me to give my all to the pets I care for. I have a flexible work schedule in which I work part-time. I am available on certain weekdays and weekends for the full duration of the day. On work days I am available for early morning/late night services. I follow all specific routines. I alter my approach to provide the best fitting care for your furry friends. Their wellbeing and comfort are the highest priorities.

“Briana was so sweet to our boys - she made sure our older husky got up and outside so he was comfortable at night and I'm so grateful she cares for our boys. It's a great relief to be able to call her!”

“Brielle was absolutely amazing. I was away for a week and she came in to do drop in visits with my 3 cats, stayed and played with them, sent photos, even kept the mats in order, as one of my cats now has an inflammatory condition and pees outside the litter box almost daily. Will definitely use her again for both short and long trips.”

About: Experienced dog lover with years of caring for all breeds—dedicated to keeping pups happy, healthy, and loved. I am willing to take of all of your pets needs. From bathing to feeding and walking I can do it all. I am currently in my 4th year of medical school. I plan to apply to residency this year. Given that it is my fourth year I have plenty of free time and I would love to spend it with your pet. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment tailored to each pet's needs—whether in my home or the client’s. I follow their routine, offer plenty of playtime, walks, feeding, and cuddles, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away!

“Dakota met us and our GS before we left town. We were very pleased and comfortable leaving our pet under his care. He didn't just drop in to feed and walk him, he also played with him. We will never use boarding. We will differently use Dakota again when needed.”

“Allison went above and beyond for our puppy Ember. Sending updates during her visit and even cleaned up after her as she is still making messes. Would definitely recommend!!”

“Holli was great with my kitties. All of them are very shy but she got my boy kitty to roll and purr for her. She took great care of them while we were away. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if we go out of town.”

About: I grew up on an exotic animal ranch surrounded by every kind of pet imaginable. Interacting and caring for animals is second nature to me. I work remotely and set my own schedule so travel or overnight stays are not a problem, also makes me flexable for short notice requests within reason. I can do anything from a quick safety check or lap around the block to sleeping on the floor with them during a thunder storm and everything in between.

About: I have been pet sitting for over 8 years now! I started pet sitting for friends and neighbors when I was 12, grew up with dogs, and now am lucky enough to have my own dog! I understand how stressful it can be to find someone reliable to check on your pets throughout the day. Rest assured as I have taken care of dogs of all ages and a variety of temperaments. I am a new graduate student at UVA which makes my Monday, Wednesday, Friday and weekends very flexible as well! I only have on class on M,W,F in the morning so I am able to accommodate all of your pet’s needs! I am very active so I am happy to run/walk your dogs as well! While in your home, I plan to treat it as I would treat my own. Leaving it exactly as I found it, and aiding with any cleaning precautions for your furry friend! I also have taken care of puppies and have now raised my own, so I understand the importance of crate training or puppy proofing the house!

“dayton took such great care of our two kittens! she was very accommodating with booking changes, initiated a meet and greet, was communicative and left thoughtful updates with pictures. we would definitely book her again in the future :)”

“Mary Alice was excellent caring for our two cats. We were very comfortable knowing they were in her very capable and caring hands. I highly recommend her!”

About: Your fur baby will have a blast with our pack! Winnie, Tater and Goose are the ultimate pals. We will be sure to keep your pup entertained and a great way to get exercise and affection while you’re away! If you have an older dog, I can offer one on one snuggle time and a calm relaxing environment separate from the other pups. We have 2 acres and enjoy outside playtime. We frequent the dog park in Louisa and hiking trails from Richmond to Charlottesville. Common treats are homemade chicken jerky and sardines. Please let me know if your pup is not on a tick preventative. We treat our yard with a dog safe spray but enjoy recreational activities away from home and would like to be extra cautious for your fur baby. I have full weekday and have full weekend availability! We enjoy going on walks in our neighborhood or the park close by early in the morning and late at night before it gets too hot. Depending on your pup’s age, younger ones will have tater and goose to play with. Older/calmer pups will stay with Winnie and I in a separated part of the house. I will care for your pup however you feel they will do the best (:

“The dogs loved her and I look forward to her watching them again. I had lots of peace of mind.”

About: I have lived on a farm with animals, including dogs, all my life. My life use to revolve around our dog, Dos now we have Gansey and Kaya. They have been a great addition to the family. We would love to share some of that love with other dogs. I am equipped to handle many types of dogs, happy to love and care for all of them. I can house sit and take them for walks and runs as needed. Also, I am able to take special interest with difficult breeds. I am excited to meet your pups! I am available seven days a week in the morning and evening. My house is near a trail and another nice area to walk pups. I would love to take care of your pups! Morning walks and evening walks. Due to my work schedule, most dogs will get a thirty minutes walk at 8:30 AM and 5 PM. Thanks 😊 I create individual experiences depending on the situation. I stay the whole time, except for a few hours sometimes during the middle of the day.

About: If you're like me, your pets have become family members. When you can't be home for them, whether because of work, vacation or other obligations, you want them taken care of with the same love and attention you give them. That's exactly what I do. Because I love pets! Woof N Walk offers a multitude of services for a variety of pets. I can also handle various home services which, by making it appear that your house is occupied, can be a crime deterrent. Choose the schedule and services you want, and I'll do the rest. Pet services include: Feeding Walks: 30 or 45 minute Brushing Administration of medicine Litter box cleaning Transportation to vet or groomer Overnight and extended stays Home services include: Watering plants Bringing in newspapers/mail Turning on/alternating lights Opening/closing blinds Carrying trash in/out I am a mature, experienced pet care professional, I make taking care of your pet a personal priority, providing the best care your fur babies deserve. It is the only job I have. I do not offer in home boarding at this time. Safety is number 1 when I am in your home or are taking your fur baby on walks.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Let me know what you're looking for and we can discuss schedule time and routing. I can do my best to fit my schedule into your fur baby schedule. I have two fence in yard to provide safety for those who doesn't get along with others. I also have two dogs of my own which probably won't be alot of fun. My beagle is usually sleeping in the house all day as for the husky she usually laying in the back yard squirrel hurting. I can create your fur baby at night or provide a dog bed. I do allowed fur babies to sleep in the bed only with fur parents permission. My fur babies are not snugglers so they choose to sleep on their dog beds.
