“Winnie loves her walks with Amanda! Amanda has been wonderful, great communication and always shares cute pictures. She’s been able to adjust schedule as needed. Highly recommend!”
“Dakota was friendly, flexible, and reliable. Sam always enjoyed his time with Dakota. Dakota interspersed neighborhood walks & trips to the dog park with visits to Barnes & Noble and other places. We will use Dakota again without reservation and highly recommend him to care for your pet.”
“Candice is great! My dog is a jerk and has to be kept away from people other than me for awhile, but I am very sad to lose Candice. She’s reliable, responsible and great with my pooch. I’ll miss her.”
About: I have provided care for many pets from my former teachers, neighbors, family and word of mouth. Both my pets have lived to be seniors and watched senior pets as well. I worked at an animal hospital for about 2 years before moving to this area. I am familiar with giving medications and following instructions on feeding due to allergies and stomach concerns in dogs. I am experienced with reactive dogs and protective dogs when entering the home. I am mostly able to do daily check ins in morning-midday. My work schedule varies, so just ask I can try to work something out! I will meet or chat with you prior to meeting your pup or cat and learn there favorite snacks, toys and walk routes. I want then to be comfortable with me.
About: I've grown up around and have had lots of dogs throughout my life. I've had experience caring for all kinds of dogs big and small. I can also manage multiple dogs at once, and can give each pup tons of attention and love. I have a very open schedule both weekdays and weekends. I'm home from college right now, staying with my parents, and have my own car for any transportation. I live in a neighborhood with a large dog park, and plenty of trees and bushes to sniff. If necessary I have a medium-large sized crate.
“Jessica was so great with Rugby! He was a little stressed out at first and she made him feel right at home. She came to watch him at a concert I was playing and was great reading his cues. She made sure he had fun and didn't join in on the singing (barking) too much, and it was great not having to worry about him while I was playing.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them! From raising my own family pets to caring for dogs of all ages, whether it’s energetic puppies just weeks old or gentle seniors needing extra love. I bring years of experience and genuine care to every dog I meet. Over the past 8 years, I’ve had the joy of watching dogs for friends, neighbors, and family, and I treat every pup like they’re my own. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and it brings me so much happiness to care for them and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m currently in grad school at UVA with classes only two days a week, and even then, they’re never longer than a few hours at a time. This means I’m available every day and can easily build pet care into my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or overnight stays, I have the flexibility to provide consistent and attentive care. I care for pets by giving them lots of attention, love, and activity. Whether I’m in my home or the client’s, I make sure pets get plenty of time to play, go on walks, or just hang out and relax depending on what they need. I try to stick to their normal routine as much as possible, like feeding times and bathroom breaks, and I always make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Staying active with them through walks, fetch, or just playing around, is one of the main ways I show care and build trust.
About: New to Rover, but not to pet care :) I grew up with animals great and small. I've had dogs of all sizes, cats, horses, snakes, mice, chickens, and one skunk. All of my dogs are rescues, so I'm no stranger to reactive dog care and I'm well-versed in positive reinforcement training styles. I love all animals, but I've got a real soft spot for the senior babies. I recently lost my own 16 year old pittie, so I'm comfy in a space that may require a little extra effort. I'm a weightlifter in my free time, so I can easily help any size senior with any mobility issues 💜 I'm starting on Rover after losing my 13 year career in analysis to federal funding issues. My schedule is quite flexible and free, though I do have to be home at night to care for my own four-legged family members While I'd love to offer care in my home, I do have my own pets and introducing new babies to the mix can be stressful for all involved. In your home, I will love on your fur babies as if they were my own. They'll have a cuddle buddy (if they choose), engaging playtime, and treats (if you choose). I also spend quite a lot of time at the gym I own in downtown Charlottesville, so if you'd be comfortable with field trips, I'd happily take them out for some extra socialization.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals of my own, other family members and friends most of my life. I have loved and taken care of all kinds of dogs, cats, fish, small cages animals, reptiles, chickens, ducks, goats, and horses. In my past I have worked at a vets office as kennel help and at Pampered pets boarding facility. I’m currently a stay at home mom and a part time Instacart shopper. I would be able to give your pup some love and take out for walks during the time you are away at work or on vacation. I’m available during the week while my son will be in school and on the weekends if needed. I have a fenced in area and two friendly pups that would keep your fur baby happy and safe. I also can crate them if needed.
About: Hello! I love all dogs and cats. I grew up with a ton of pets and love to help neighbors to take care of theirs. I work a remote job Monday through Thursday so I am flexible to do home visits or have pets stay with me! I do have a cat so boarding may be dependent on your pet! I like received specific instructions on how to best care for your pet so they stay in the same routine and have little stress without you.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats in my home, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I started my pet care journey at 15, going all over my hometown to look after people’s pets, and I’ve loved it ever since. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, snakes, and even horses. I have alap spent time volunteering at different shelters both in my home state and Virginia. Each animal brings a unique experience, and I always enjoy the chance to connect with them and give them all the attention and love they need . I have a pretty flexible schedule, I am available most afternoons and evenings throughout the week. I am available after 6:30 AM and before 5 PM. I have a large fenced in yard where your pet can play lots of games and get exercise. If your pet prefers to be crated that’s not problem, but if they prefer to be out, that’s okay too!
About: I've always had dogs in my home growing up and love nothing more than our furry best friends. While my current life doesn't allow me to have a pet of my own, I would love to help connect with and take care of yours! I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds from the smallest puppy to the sweetest senior. Plus, as a photographer, I'll be happy to send lots of pics of your pet while I'm caring for them! My schedule fluctuates depending on the time of year, but I will keep my availability updated on my profile. I am best suited to assisting with midday walks or short petsitting stays. My apartment has plenty of space for your pet to roam as well as a 16,000 square foot fenced in dog park right outside my front door. If I'm house-sitting for you, my goal is to keep your pets happy in their own environment and space.

“Kaylynn has six adopted rescues of her own, all of which require varying degrees of care; so trusting her with my one Golden Retriever was a no brainer. Will continue to go back for future pet-calls and needs. Five Stars.”
