“Danielle took wonderful care of my two cats while I was away. She made sure they had plenty of food, water, and treats, gave them lots of love, and kept me updated the whole time. Her kindness and attention to detail gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend her!”


“Kaylynn was great with our pups! She watched them at our home while we were gone for a weekend and sent updates on how they were doing. Great care and communication! Definitely planning to use Kaylynn again.”


“Amy looked after our dog for the first time this weekend and she was absolutely wonderful. She asked great questions about meals, walks and our dog's routine and was very thorough in every detail. Amy kept us updated with photos and messages so we never wondered how things were going. Our usually shy dog warmed up to her immediately and I felt completely at ease being away knowing our dog was in such caring hands. We will absolutely work with her again!”


“Amanda did an amazing job with our pets! Her professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail was top notch. We knew our pets were in good hands while the wife and I went on a weekend vacation. Amanda was able to give one of our senior dogs his insulin shots with no problem. All of the animals (two dogs and two cats) really enjoyed her care and company. HIGHLY recommend and we will book her again.”


“Ava was available last minute for drop in visits with Dublin and was punctual and kept me updated. Everything was extremely easy and smooth! Will definitely plan to be a repeat customer.”


“This is the second time we have used Tessa to care for our cats. We are very happy with the care she gives our babies and her communication throughout her visits is quite welcome. We look forward to booking her again when she returns to Charlottesville in the Fall.”


“Karlee was so thoughtful about sending me updates about my shy cat Stan, very responsive and she also maximized time with him not only taking care of him but also playing and cuddling with him! An amazing experience I will definitely rebook her!!!”


“Jess watched our 3 dogs for a whole weekend and they loved her! She was very accommodating when I needed to change drop in times around and made sure to give my pups extra love since we extended our trip. We will definitely be hiring her again!”


“Briana was so sweet to our boys - she made sure our older husky got up and outside so he was comfortable at night and I'm so grateful she cares for our boys. It's a great relief to be able to call her!”


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.

“My cat Felix loved Antonia’s drop in visits. He seemed super happy and enjoyed the playtime. You always hate to leave your pets when traveling, but it’s nice to have such an amazing sitter be able to make sure your pet is well cared for.”


About: With 20+ years of dog ownership and over a decade of caring for cats, I bring calm, experienced, and compassionate care to every animal I meet. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, and pets with medical needs—including administering meds and accommodating special diets. I treat each pet like family, giving them the attention, exercise, and comfort they need to thrive while you're away. Whether it's a quiet cuddle or an energizing trail walk, I tailor care to your pet's personality and needs. I start my mornings early and love getting walks in before it gets too hot. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I schedule walks, drop-ins, and check-ins around a calm, consistent home life. I’m outdoors every day, rain or shine, and caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, not just a task. Your pet’s needs will be met with patience, presence, and plenty of playtime. Whether in my home or yours, safety and comfort come first. I create a calm, dog-friendly environment—no crates unless requested, and always supervised play. I follow your pet’s routine closely, from feeding to walks to meds. I keep spaces clean, secure, and low-stress, and I always take time to build trust with your pet through gentle handling and positive interactions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and notes so you can relax, knowing your pet is in good hands.

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.

“Brielle was absolutely amazing. I was away for a week and she came in to do drop in visits with my 3 cats, stayed and played with them, sent photos, even kept the mats in order, as one of my cats now has an inflammatory condition and pees outside the litter box almost daily. Will definitely use her again for both short and long trips.”


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!


“Leslie is great. She checked in on my dog while we were gone all day and our regular person was unavailable. She came out beforehand to meet us and I knew she would be great. She obviously has a lot of experience and is prompt and professional. She sent photos and reassurances that all was well. I would definitely use her again.”
