About: I'm a pet person! My favorite part of caring for dogs is the walks, whether it's just a a few minutes or a few miles. My experience is as follows: ☆Caring for my family's cat and dog, from youth/kitten to senior age ☆Pet-sitting for friend's cats and dogs ☆Volunteering in a high-volume animal shelter ☆Volunteering with a puppy rescue (walking + working on leash training) I've cared for cats and dogs in all stages, from puppies and kittens to senior animals. I'm always open to learn to care for animals of all kinds and grow my experience! I have open availability for walks and overnight stays! I'm currently not equipped to board in my home but hope to in the future. I'm new to Charlottesville and hope to build community + support myself through pet care until my summer job starts. Keeping a safe and stress-free environment for your pet is my priority! I'll follow your lead in terms of feeding times, walk length + route, and crate procedures to make your pets experience as safe and consistent as possible.

“Martina is a wonderfully attentive dog sitter who notices small changes in the condition of our older dog, and our dogs look forward to her visits every time!

About: I have raised multiple dogs from birth to adulthood and am experienced with reward-based training methods (rather than punishment-based). I have cared for dogs with special needs and during injury/illness recovery. I'm an active person and happy to help your dog be active as well! I work from home and have a semi-flexible schedule. Because of this I can usually accomodate for any time needed with enough notice (at least one day). I am happy to work with any special routines or accomodations you may require. I have experience with special needs dogs, medication management, dietary restrictions, and mobility issues. With my background in biomedical sciences, you can trust that your pet is safe and in good hands.

“Amaris has watched my dog, Moose, many times over there last several years. She cares for Moose like she is her own and is incredibly responsive and responsible. Moose is more excited to see Amaris than anyone else I know, including myself! Moose has both stayed with Amaris and Amaris has watched Moose at our home. Every time has been a great experience and we feel peace of mind knowing Amaris is watching her when we're out of town.”

“Doris was wonderful with Baggie, and Baggie connected with her seamlessly. She really put me at ease while I was away. I 100% recommend her!”
