Penny was wonderful! She was very detailed in her communication regarding the care of our 7 yr old German Shepherd. She went above and beyond by getting our mail and even offered to have her husband come sit with Maverick during a thunderstorm. We would absolutely request her again for future needs.

Skyla was absolutely great! Handled complex apartment procedures well and made sure to prioritize my dog during her drop in visits while I was away. Her updates were great and gave me peace of mind.

Danielle was great with Cat! She sent pictures and texted an update during her visit. I was happy to know Cat had such good company. I've already booked more time with Danielle and would highly recommend her care.

About: I have taken care of many dogs and love to bond with them. Family and friends have let me pet sit for years and who doesn’t love hanging out with a cute dog. I am currently a part time student and in my off I go on walks and play with my own dog at home. I also go to dog parks to play with my two dogs. I will keep eyes on your pets and play with them and get their energy out. I will also make sure your pet has a new best friend.

Danielle was excellent with our pups. She followed our instructions well, and her kind and calm demeanor went a long way with our older, somewhat neurotic dogs. Will definitely be using her again and would recommend to others as well!

Emilee has watched my three cats multiple times. They are always safe and loved when we are away. All three of them have different personalities and needs. She handles them so well. I am so glad she is able to take care of them for us.

Danielle R. has been such a blessing to help us out with our furry (cats, bunny, sugar gliders), shelly (turtle), and fish friends. I loved that she was just a text message away and did not hesitate to reach out to us if she had any questions or concerns. I really appreciated that she took the time to send us a few pictures to reassure us that all was well. Danielle is kind and responsible and “paws”itively someone that I would recommend to pet sit:)

About: Hi! If you're looking for a safe, dependable, and caring space for your pet, look no further. I've helped taken care of my own dogs all throughout my life. I’m currently an out of state student at UVA and I miss my dogs! I'm looking for a fun way to make money on the side! So I'm happily able to assist with walking, house-sitting, or visiting your dog(s) during any time you need assistance during your busy day. I have experience working with both my large dogs as well as others back home. Regardless of the size of your pet, I’d love the opportunity to spend some time with them. I am quite playful, and I love going for long walks. I currently am a full time student at UVA, and I have quite a few gaps in my schedule to come over for potty breaks. I am also able to stay the night, too. Coming into one's home is an act of trust and a privilege, and it’s not one that I take lightly. I intend to respect the needs and privacy of my clients as well as leave the place in the same or better state when I leave. If you have any plants, I’m also a plant parent and happy to water them as needed. Back at home, I normally take my dogs out for walks a few times a day as well as play with them whenever they need to burn off any energy. I’ll be sure to do this as needed with your dogs, as well!

Tessa did an amazing job checking in on our 3yo cat while we were away for a long weekend. She had great communication before the booking and during each visit with lots of pictures!. Our cat absolutely loved her and her visits. He is usually shy meeting new people so it says a lot about her personality that he immediately warmed up to her wanting company, playtime, and cuddles. We will definitely want to book Tessa again the next time we go out of town!
