“Jaime was wonderful with Sophie and a pleasure to work with! She found a way to make things work that had at first looked like they might be a stumbling block logistically, and she made Sophie’s walk fun despite the great heat. We all look forward to our next adventures with Jaime!”

About: I am an Army Veteran that met my dog, Raleigh, while volunteering at an animal shelter. She has been with me as I transitioned out of the military, through undergrad, and law school. Throughout the journey she taught me many lessons - about love, compassion, joy, and equanimity. We've learned many commands and tricks, been on countless runs and hikes, and all around have a good time. But, as we have aged together, I have also learned how to administer weekly shots, to give daily medications, to attend-and practice- physical therapy, and assist with getting onto couches, beds, etc. Every animal is unique. But I promise to care for yours as much as I do my own. “He who is kind to animals heaven will protect.” I currently have a flexible schedule and am widely available. I am taking an extended period of time off before starting my next job and I absolutely love spending time with animals. It's a lot more fun-and rewarding- than most legal work :) I love playing with both older and younger pets, and I’m mindful of any physical limitations your furry family member may have. I’ve taught my own dog (Raleigh) several commands and tricks for both mental stimulation and safety. I am happy to learn and then use what you have already taught your pet. Or, as I have done with friends' dogs, try to set up a good baseline for us to all learn together! I am mindful of interactions with other animals or people. My Raleigh loves people, but is 50/50 with other dogs because she has been attacked in the past (unfortunately, I’m not able to host pets in my own home at this time because of this). I know some dogs are the complete opposite and will gladly encourage or discourage social interaction according to their- and your- needs. I am also aware some dogs, especially rescues, have triggers. One I learned while at the shelter was that some dogs disliked men in baseball hats. I was sure to not wear one with those it bothered. So, I will always listen to you and respect instructions to provide safety and trust among us.
3. Anmoljot B.
“Anmol has been a wonderful addition to Belle’s daily life. She is faithful to always use the app when walking her so i can see where they have gone and sends me pictures every time. She also writes a post about how the walk went. I appreciate her helping me out with Belle very much and highly recommend her to anyone who needs this type of service!”
4. Michael M.
“Michael was great with Finn!”
5. Dakota R.
“Dakota was great and super easygoing. With high-energy dogs we really appreciate that. She dealt expertly with our duo and was even willing to come by beforehand for a meet and greet even though we booked on a short notice. Will book again.”
6. Lauren C.
“Lauren is wonderful! She communicates clearly and in a timely fashion. I feel fortunate that she is walks my dogs. I can tell that she cares about doing what is best for them as she really took the time to learn about their quirks. I would definitely recommend Lauren!”
7. Vanessa C.

8. Brittney P.
“Brittney was fantastic. She supervised our puppy while my fiancé and I did engagement photos. She brought her own homemade treats which he loved. Brittney made our lives immensely easier that day and clearly enjoys caring for dogs. If I lived in Charlottesville, I would trust my dog with her all the time.”
9. Summer N.
“I have known Summer her whole life and animals just gravitate towards her. She treats pets as if they are her family. Summer is very responsible and knowledgeable of pet care and is dependable and trustworthy. She has cared for my pets very well and I am always grateful and satisfied.”
10. Kirsten L.
“Kirsten has loved animals from an early age, but gravitated towards dogs. She has an amazing Golden (Zoe) and would have more if space allowed. Becoming a pet sitter gives her the opportunity to share her love for dogs, but return them when services are complete. Win. Win.”
11. Zoe P.
“Zoe has taken care of my animals for a number of years. They all love her and she does a great job taking care of them. Manages any medications well too!”
12. Makenzie P.
“MaKenzie is absolutely wonderful with pets, giving them plenty of love & attention! She is dependable, on time & you never have to worry about your pets being well loved & cared for. I would highly recommend MaKenzie for any pet sitting jobs & be confident that your fur babies will be in great hands!”
13. Allison P.
“Allison has been so great with our 6 month old pup. It is such a relief to be able to leave him with someone trustworthy and competent like Allison on the days we have to work. I recommend her whole-heartedly!”
14. Hannah V.
“Hannah was so sweet with the dogs! They were happy to see her. Right on time!”
15. Isaiah C.
“Isaiah is such a kind and thoughtful sitter. He has cared for our dog and home several times while we were away and we appreciate that he is reliable, punctual and courteous. Isaiah's calm and warm personality made our German Shepherd love him from the beginning and our dog is always happy to see him. He took great care of our dog and home and I highly recommend him.”
16. Alexandra M.
About: I am a part of a big family, with dogs and chickens, and love other’s pets as my own. My family does enjoy a lot of play and snuggles with all fur friends! I currently homeschool my four children, caring for my two dogs and 8 chickens is a family affair and take pride in it. Specifically caring for dogs… I spend a lot of time in the backyard playing with the family dogs. ☺️ My home is our dogs’ home too. When necessary, I do crate our dogs but for the majority of the time they are allowed to roam freely and be loved with cuddles and treats.

My 2 year old Golden Retriever absolutely loves when he gets to spend time with Anna...she spoils him with trips to the dog park, longs walks, and lots of snuggles :) Knowing that Anna has grown up with dogs and loves them as much as I do makes her the perfect person to watch my pal! I love when Anna sends me photos from her adventures with River, it's clear they're always having a good time :)”
