“This was our first time leaving our newly adopted cat and Michelle took great care of her. She provided us with detailed feedback and took the extra step of cleaning up tracked litter and fur balls to keep our cat's space clean.”


“Erika is fabulous! We lave having her check on Lily and Odin. Alway’s a great communicator, and we always feel reassured they are getting the best care!”


“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.”


“I have two small kittens that I had to leave for a week. They stayed with Riley all week and looked very content and happy in the pictures I received. Riley’s veterinary experience was also a huge peace of mind. Would recommend to anyone!”


About: I've had dogs since I can remember. My fiancé watched dogs in the past with rover and I would always help. Take the dogs to the park on my days off, play outside, and train them when needed. I am currently on veterans disability so I can focus my whole day to your furry friend. No worry about being stuck in all day. I have 5 acres of yard for them to play on. I have lots of space if needed, room for crates, room outside. Plenty of space so your furry friend won't feel trapped. My animals mind their own.

“The dogs loved her and I look forward to her watching them again. I had lots of peace of mind.”


“These two are fantastic! Our dogs were so well taken care of and their communication is perfect! They go above and beyond and we can’t wait to use them again!”


About: Your fur baby will have a blast with our pack! Winnie, Tater and Goose are the ultimate pals. We will be sure to keep your pup entertained and a great way to get exercise and affection while you’re away! If you have an older dog, I can offer one on one snuggle time and a calm relaxing environment separate from the other pups. We have 2 acres and enjoy outside playtime. We frequent the dog park in Louisa and hiking trails from Richmond to Charlottesville. Common treats are homemade chicken jerky and sardines. Please let me know if your pup is not on a tick preventative. We treat our yard with a dog safe spray but enjoy recreational activities away from home and would like to be extra cautious for your fur baby. I have full weekday and have full weekend availability! We enjoy going on walks in our neighborhood or the park close by early in the morning and late at night before it gets too hot. Depending on your pup’s age, younger ones will have tater and goose to play with. Older/calmer pups will stay with Winnie and I in a separated part of the house. I will care for your pup however you feel they will do the best (:

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly love spending time with them—whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors, and I’m comfortable with special needs like meds or specific routines. I’m reliable, easygoing, and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 5, but I’m available for early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I can also stay in the home if needed, and I always make sure pets get plenty of attention and consistency in their routine. I plan ahead to ensure reliable, dependable care—even with a busy schedule. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the pet’s routine as closely as possible, keep a clean and calm environment, and pay attention to their behavior and needs. I take time to build trust with each pet, so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was seven years old. My family had two kittens that I cared for and I was responsible for pet sitting other fur babies in the neighborhood growing up. I also attended many animal science/nature camps growing up, it’s where I got my first hermit crab! I also know the Heimlich maneuver for both cats and dogs. In my junior year of high school I applied and was accepted to the HOSA veterinary science program where I graduated in the National Honors Society. Shortly after graduation, I started working at a veterinary hospital as a veterinary assistant. My job was to help restrain animals for exams/shots, organize medications, prepare/read fecal slides and determine if intestinal parasites are present, collect urine samples, and provide basic care. Overall I have had personal experience caring for dogs/puppies, cats/kittens, goats, horses, hamsters, chickens/chicks, pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, ferrets, chinchillas, birds, lizards, snakes, frogs, turtles, hermit crabs, and axolotls. I am currently a student in nursing school and am working as a part time server. I only have classes two days a week on Monday (6 AM - 6 PM) and Tuesday (8:30 AM - 11:15 AM) and work a couple hours 2 evenings a week, but can take off if needed for services. I like to learn about their daily routine and what they like to do for fun so and incorporate those things into our routine while clients are gone, so pets feel safe and relaxed while their family isn’t there.

About: Hey, my name is Erin! I’ve had my own animals my entire life, but I also have 4 years of dog training professionally. I worked for the company Dogtopia (a great dog daycare/boarding facility) as a canine coach and assistant manager. I worked hands on in the room with the dogs during open play, and one on one in grooming and training sessions. Unfortunately, my husband travels for work so a traditional 9-5 doesn’t always work for me, hence finding my own lane with Rover! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend. :) I work from home remotely part time as a paralegal, and outside of that I am a stay at home wife. Pet care fits seamlessly into my life and I am open to working with clients to help accommodate special time needs. I cannot accommodate watching your pup at my own home because I have my own rescue who does not want to share the space. Thank you for understanding!

About: I've worked with dogs and cats professionally for over ten years now and also have experience with training. I love getting to know each dog and learning what they like best, whether that’s a quiet walk in the park or some snuggles on the couch and fetch in the backyard. I have experience with all types of dogs and always treat them as if they were my own. I’m currently working part time as a dog trainer so that will give me plenty of time to play with your pups! I’d love to gain regular clients that I can provide reliability for. I always work to ensure they safety of your pet and would love to know what you expect of your dog (whether that’s not jumping/pulling on walk, ect) and with a knowledge in training I can help reinforce the behaviors you like to see! I’m also very good at reading dog body language and love to see your pups feeling comfortable and confident in our adventures.

About: I have experience caring for a wide range of breeds and pride myself on being adaptable to meet the unique needs of your beloved companion. My own dog’s journey with arthritis has given me valuable hands-on experience in administering medications and providing attentive care, including basic first aid. Additionally, as a certified Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Technician (NREMT), I bring an added layer of confidence and expertise in handling your pet's health and well-being. I’m an early riser, so getting up early and starting the day with my dog, Kona is the perfect start. I WFH so I can take her out as often as she needs, your fur baby can too! We live on 10 acres of land. If you have an active baby, I love getting out for walks, hikes, and if they are behaved enough, I love throwing a stick or ball! More outside time the better! When I’m caring for your best friend (s), I will send lots of pictures and videos if you want! You can never take too many!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a little girl. I also worked at doggy daycares,grooming salons, and dog training places! I’ve taken care of all dogs big and small. Hey! I have plenty of experience with animals! Just on here to hopefully meet your furbabies and do this as a little side job! Text me and hopefully I can help you with you and your furbabies needs! :) I will care and love your pet as if it was my very own! I will keep your pet as happy and content as they can be until your return.

Erin W.
“I am writing to highly recommend Erin Williams as an exceptional caregiver for pets. She has been looking after my beloved dogs Piglet and Balor for 7 years now and I couldn't be more pleased with the level of care and attention she provided. Erin consistently went above and beyond in ensuring the well-being and happiness of my dogs. She demonstrated a deep understanding of their needs and preferences, including dietary requirements, exercise routines, and medication schedules. I always felt reassured knowing that my dogs were in her capable hands. In addition to her excellent caregiving skills, Ms. Williams exhibited utmost professionalism and reliability. She communicated promptly and effectively, keeping me updated with photos and messages, which alleviated any concerns I had while away. Moreover, Erin Williams showed genuine affection and compassion towards my dogs, treating them as if they were her own. Their bond was evident in the excitement my dogs displayed upon her arrival, and I could see they were genuinely happy and well-cared-for in her presence. I wholeheartedly endorse Erin Williams for any pet care responsibilities. She possess the qualities of an outstanding caregiver: responsible, compassionate, and dedicated. If you're seeking someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry companions, she are is the perfect choice.”
