House Sitting in Scottsville

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years and have been around them my entire life; they complete me and I love meeting any and all types of animal friends! I have 2 dogs of my own: a Lab/Pit named Zoey and a Dachshund/Jack Russell named Nickel. I also have a variety of fish, snails, a hamster, and a crested gecko, so my love doesn’t have boundaries! I work part-time at the Fluvanna County SPCA on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays and am also going to college to major in biology. We are currently in the process of moving, so at the moment, things can be hectic, however, animals still need care, so that always comes first! I am currently out of work due to a driver’s reckless decision to drive on the wrong side of the road and hit me head-on. It broke my right (dominant) wrist in 3 places and I had to have a plate and 7 screws surgically placed on April 9th, so I am still recovering. Other than trying to move a house and doctor’s appointments, I am readily available and am looking forward to caring for your babies in whatever way I can! I love caring for your fur babies and will do everything possible to accommodate to your requests and needs! I try to stay on top of communication and like to document everything, including pictures!

“Stef provided exceptional care for our pets while we were away, leaving us totally able to relax and focus on our travels. Her evident love for animals shone through in her attentive and professional approach, which included sending regular updates and photos. We returned home to happy animals and a clean house!
 I appreciate that she spent so much time with our furry family members and made sure they were comfortable and happy. If you need someone reliable and caring to watch your pets and your house, I can’t recommend her enough!!”

“I would 100% recommend Charlotte!She was the perfect Sitter! Great communication all the way through. Excellent, respectful care given to our pets and home. She seemed genuinely excited to meet the pets and get to know them, and I loved seeing that enthusiasm. When she came over to meet the pets the day before it was obvious that she would be a good fit. She was friendly and open and had a relaxing way with both of them. Right away we knew we could go enjoy our time away without worry. We had consistent check ins and photos from Charlotte. She left the house looking great and the pets happy. She really seemed to connect with Jackie – which warmed my heart because of course I know what a great dog she is, but she can also be a handful, especially with the cat in the mix! She was unfazed by any shenanigans our little maniacs may have gotten into. Suffice it to say I wish I had more than 5 stars to give Charlotte. Do not hesitate to trust her with your pets!”

“I 100% recommend Hope for any dog sitting needs! She stayed overnight with my pup Winnie a few times and always does a great job. Excellent communication, shows up on time, and has a great attitude- I could tell my pup was in great hands! Will definitely continue to book with her!”

“Brielle was so great with Mellie. This was my first time leaving my dog since I got her 6 months ago and I couldn’t imagine a better person for her to be with. Brielle is very sweet and kind. She was attentive, patient, and loving towards Mellie. She sent me updates and pictures the whole time, too! I would absolutely recommend her to watch anyone’s fur-baby.”

“Highly recommend Star! She's worked hard to make friends with our shy pup and kept us updated on the progress during this booking. We'll definitely use her again!”

“Daniel did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. He sent pictures and videos and played her favorite game - fetching. I didn’t have to worry about her at all. We will definitely call on Daniel again.”

“Kayt was absolutely amazing this weekend with my Sunny girl! 10/10 recommend her and will absolutely book again soon :) Thank you so much Kayt!!”

“Hayden did a great job taking care of our pup! He sent lots of photos, which we always enjoy.”

“Jenessa was wonderful and our dogs seemed very happy. She was accommodating and flexible and was available to care for our pets around Christmas which was a huge plus. We would definitely use Jenessa again!”

“Rikke is a Godsend! He is not only kind and gentle but also trusting and responsible. I typically have a lot of anxiety about leaving my pups behind but with Rikke I knew they were in the very best care during my absence. I cannot recommend Rikke enough- he is truly amazing. Your pets will love him and you will, too!”

“Our two dogs were well cared for by Briton during a 4 1/2 day trip. We received regular updates and our pups were in excellent moods when we returned. House was well kept. We will happily use Briton again.”

“My dogs (particularly one of them) are a challenge and Nathan was willing to stay with them at my home after meeting them. He took great care of them and followed all instructions for them including giving them their medication. He took great care of the house as well. Highly recommended!”

“Savannah was great to work with - she was communicative and extremely accommodating, considering my changing schedule.”

“Britain did a phenomenal job! Great communication. Very caring and kind demeanor. She was very patient with my shy and nervous dogs. My dogs seemed very relaxed and well taken care of when I returned! She also took great care of my space. Highly recommend. Would ask her to watch our dogs again. She’s beyond great.”

“Rebecca provided overnight care for our shy rescue dog and we are looking forward to booking her dog sitting services in the future. Rebecca is patient, respectful, prompt, and communicative. She made sure we felt comfortable leaving our pup in her care by spending time with our dog ahead of the overnight stay, as well as kept us informed with updates while we were away. Highly recommend!”

“We felt at complete ease with our fur babies in Mariah’s care. She is an excellent communicator and checked in frequently with updates about our puppies. Mariah walked them often sent a steady stream of pictures and videos of our dogs. She enjoyed playing with them and kept up with their high energy/big dog personalities! She even vacuumed under the couch and retrieved toys from the “toy graveyard.” We will definitely ask Mariah to care for our dogs in the future!”

“Clara was the perfect dogsitter for my shy, anxious dog. I was away at a conference and Clara stayed overnight with my dog for three days, and I couldn't be happier with the care, patience, and love she showed my dog. I received constant photos and updates while my Josie was in Clara's care, and when my flight home was delayed a full six hours Clara stayed with my dog until I came home. If you have a shy or anxious animal, I can't recommend Clara enough -- she made sure to slowly build a bond with my dog, and made sure not to push Josie into interacting with her before she was ready. An amazing experience, I'll certainly be booking Clara again in the future!”

“Lauren was a great communicative sitter! It was nice to leave and not feel stressed about the care of our pet.”

“Tina was wonderful with our puppy. He had never had a pet sitter before, and she took excellent and loving care of him, with lots of play time, exercise, and even some training. He even cried when she left! We will definitely ask her to take care of him again.”
