Wilma's Pet Sitting - About Me

Wilma's Pet Sitting - Dog Walking and Pet Sitting in the Waynesboro area of Virginia

Who Am I?

I am Wilma Almquist, a long-time animal lover and pet owner. I believe that my customers' needs are of the utmost importance and the needs of their pets are top priority with me. I am committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a high percentage of my business is from repeat customers and referrals.

I would welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and give your pets the care that you would when you can't be there.

I realize that we all love our pets and want the best for them. When you can't be there, it is best if they can stay at home, in their own environment. That is why using a pet sitter, as opposed to boarding, is beneficial. It is already stressful for your pets when you go away so if they can be home where they are more comfortable and happy they will miss you less. It is also easier for you, not having to load them up in the car with all their stuff and cart them off somewhere else. Let me care for them like they were my own.

I live in the beautiful state of Virginia and care for pets in Waynesboro and the surrounding areas. I am available whenever you need me- during the week while you are at work, weekends or while you are on vacation, even overnight if you don't want your pets to be alone!

Morty, one of my favorite little boys (even though he thinks he's a big boy). I just love him! How could it BEE any other way?

Gracie and Abby live in the same neighborhood and have become great walking buddies!! They are loved by their owners and me!! Aren't they beautiful!!

Sweet boys- Berkley, Tucker & Riley.

Look at those faces!!!

Let My Customers Tell You

Who I am

As a frequent traveler for work, I wouldn't be able to function without Wilma. I can focus on work and not be distracted worrying about the care of my pets. Wilma is reliable, flexible (she doesn't mind my frequent schedule changes) and my kitties absolutely love her!

Lisa

I was looking for someone trustworthy, reliable and caring to walk my dogs while I was at work, to be available in the event of an emergency, to give the pups medications, …AND someone I knew I could trust in my home while I was away. I found all of this in Wilma. It was such a relief to never worry about my beloved dogs when they were in her care. Ransom and Dutch (Dutch is now gone and was lovingly watched over in her illness by Wilma) love her.Without reservation I can recommend Wilma for any of her services. I feel lucky to have found her.

Wilma has been taking care of our mininature Chihuahua, Morty, ever since we got him. We tried Kenneling him, once, when we were away, and he just wasn't happy. Wilma cares for him like he is her own. She is loving, kind, and treats him as well as we do. He is always excited to see her, and we cannot imagine life without her. Thanks Wilma!! Kelley

My husband and I moved to Staunton last year and were thrilled to find such a reliable and conscientious pet sitter. Wilma has been an excellent sitter for our beloved pet. When a family death required us to leave town suddenly, Wilma stepped in with little notice. If you are looking for a professional and dependable pet sitter, we would highly recommend Wilma Almquist.

John and Dixie

Wilma is a Godsend. I am so happy to have found her. I work long hours and the piece of mind I have knowing that Sassy is in such great hands with Wilma is priceless! Wilma is professional and is there every day on time and, without exception. I am extremely pleased with her services and always come home to a happy dog. Wilma is definitely a keeper and Sassy thinks so too!

Jennifer

Wilma has been taking care of my two dogs, a 120 pound American Bulldog and Boxer, for 2 years, which with my 2 dogs is easier said than done, but she takes great care of them and I have total trust in her. I would recommend her services to anyone that needs it. Wilma is a great person and really cares about her work. Ian

I honestly don't know what we would do without Wilma. With both of us working all day and not knowing if we'd be able to make it home to let Gracie out, it's a great relief knowing that Wilma is there every day to help us. Gracie absolutely loves Wilma and loves her daily walks with Abby and looks forward to seeing them both everyday. We would recommend Wilma to anyone who is looking for pet services, she's the absolute BEST and you won't find anyone better to take care of your pets.

Allison & Mike

Fran and I are happy to endorse your services and gladly recommend you to anyone. We felt complete confidence leaving our three dogs, Zoe, Toby and Rusty in your capable hands and would not hesitate one moment to have you stay with them again.

Fran and Richard

I have used Wilma and her associate, Jillian, to house and pet sit for our two dogs. They are both dependable, courteous and absolutely fabiulous with our canine companions. You can trust them with all of your needs and those of your pets.
