“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! She communicates with us about our boys and her care has been so important to their comfort. We consider ourselves lucky to have found her!”

“I’ve known Amaris for four lovely years. She is about as good a dog owner as any four-footed-furball could ask for! Amaris and her dog Beauregard are a friendly, loving, good-natured tag team that rival the likes of Scooby-Doo and Shaggy. Amaris has watched my dog Lumi countless times, for long weekend stays to daytime drop-offs, all the time going on walks, hikes, and roughhousing (Lumi’s favorite). Not only does Lumi have an excellent dog companion in Amaris, he’s also made a great pup friend in Beau. There’s nobody I trust more to watch and care for my dog than Amaris.”

“I used Sara as a dog walker, and she was perfect for the job as I needed a reliable walker with my busy schedule. She exceeded all expectations in caring for my furry companion, Ivy! Not only did Sara ensure Ivy's safety during their walks, but she also made sure Ivy had the time of her life! When I returned home, Ivy was not just tired from her adventures but genuinely happy and content. Sara went the extra mile by sending me delightful pictures of Ivy, which brightened up my day and assured me that Ivy was in great hands. It's evident that Sara truly loves what she does. Ivy was showered with attention and even some well-deserved treats. I couldn't have asked for a better caretaker for my pup. Sara is fantastic, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of top-notch pet care!”

“Alexa was a wonderful sitter and did a great job with my two crazy cats and perfectly executed my very detailed and somewhat demanding list of ‘to do’s’. she was also very communicative which I really appreciated”

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.

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.

“Doris was extremely reliable and a great communicator before and during the period that she took care of our cats. We’d definitely book her again in the future!”
