Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in 5th Sw, Charlottesville, VA

“Amanda was very nice.We came to Charlottesville for church, and then we headed to the blue Ridge parkway, so, we we needed someone to watch Penny for two hours. I was supposed to drop Penny at her house, but I was a little late for church, so she picked her up at the parking lot. We are very happy with her service. We will definitely contact her again, if we bring Penny to town.”

“Kim was fantastic! She was so sweet with our pups and did a great job watching them while we were away. We got the best pup photos! She was wonderful with administering medication and walking. We’ll definitely be working with her whenever we can moving forward!”

“Nathan was great with sunshine! He was communicative and timely! Definitely recommend :)”

“We’ve recently starting having Morgan come over for drop in visits to keep our 2 year old golden company while we are working from home. She is a phenomenal caregiver. Really spends the entire hour engaging in play and cuddling rather than just watching her. She is very attentive and thorough and had no problem taking us on as a client even though our pup has some behavioral issues. You can tell she has lots of experience with a variety of animals and behavior types. Highly recommend Morgan!”

“Katie was the perfect sitter for my cats. I’m new in town, and i could tell i could trust her the minute she walked in to my house. My boys loved her, and I knew they were in great hands. And she was very patient with their needy mother 🤪 thank you, Katie!”

“Rhiana took excellent care of my two cats while I was away for a week overseas. She sent adorable photos each day and updated me on the mischief they were getting into. I highly recommend her!”

“Carolyn helped keep me calm! I was trying to enjoy myself at a concert, but I was worried about my pup. She was great at communicating with me!”

“Mikaela went above and beyond for miss ember, cleaning up after her accidents in the cage two days in a row and taking her on some great walks. Thank you!!”

“Melissa goes above and beyond when caring for my dog, from spending extra time playing with him to sitting with him to make sure that he eats while I’m gone. My dog always looks forward to her visits! Thanks Melissa!”

“My girls felt very comfortable with Kassie! Would love to have her sit for them again.”

“Nina was fantastic with our cat, Crouton, while we were away for the weekend! Very responsive and reliable. We loved receiving updates and pictures following her check ins!”

“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!”

“Very prompt and willing to come at the last minute. Really helpful.”

“Nice, prompt, easy and helpful”

“As always, Martina is fabulous with Beau! He loves seeing her when she comes and he always seems happy and relaxed when I get home from work on the days she's with him.”

“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 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.

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.

“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”

“Hannah was great! She was very attentive and did things like fill an extra water bowl for my cat. Also, without me telling her, she picked up on the fact that my cat loves playing with random things like strings and a tin foil ball, and she took time to play with these objects with him during her visits. She was also very good about communicating via Rover app messaging and did extra things to take care of my boy when I asked her via the app.”

“Mackenzie accepted our request for catsitting the last minute just before Thanksgiving and even stopped by our house before the visits to meet Puszkin and talk to us. She is very responsive and follows all the instructions perfectly! She sent us some pictures from the visits and provided us with updates on our kitty. We definitely recommend Mackenzie as a catsitter! ❤️”
