“Nathan was wonderful when coming to our home to care for our cat and dog while we were away. He was communicative and kind, and even vacuumed our place before we got back 😭 would recommend!”
“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.”
“Emily knew Tater from a previous boarding facility which was a great plus for me! She kept us updated the whole visit and I felt confident that Tater was well taken care of during the drop in visit. 10/10 would and WILL book her again :)”
“Kyle and Meagan were fantastic! They took Luna to the park and wore her out for a drop by visit! They sent plenty of photos which I loved! It was nice to know Luna was taken care of while I was at work and before my boyfriend got home. Thank you so much!”
About: Dogs have been part of my family for as long as I can remember — they’re truly woven into the fabric of my life. After 15 years as a large animal and livestock farmer, I’ve handled every kind of surprise animals can throw at me — so I’m up for unusual circumstances. Your pup will have 10 fully fenced acres to explore, sniff, and zoom to their heart’s content. And they won’t be alone! I have four animal-loving kids who can’t wait to run, play, and snuggle with new furry friends. I work from home, and my kids are homeschooled so we are home most of the time, so we are available for potty breaks and snuggles throughout the day. During the school year we attend a homeschool co-op for much of the day Tuesday and Thursday. We have 10 fully fenced acres for safe, joyful exploring, plus two friendly dogs and four dog-savvy cats to keep your pup company. Crating is available if needed (especially for new potty trainers), but we love welcoming guest dogs right into our daily routine. Your dog can enjoy farm walks, endless ball throwing, and plenty of cozy couch time with us. They’ll feel like part of the family from day one!
About: I have 3 dogs of my own that I’ve raised all from puppies! I’ve had a lot of experience with pet sitting from small to larger breeds! I currently work at a dog boarding place so I have lots of experience. Im currently working a part time job and my hours differ week to week. Some days it’s 7 am- 12:00 pm and other days it’ll be from 9 am - 4:30 pm! I have 3 fur babies at home so I’m mostly looking for pet sitting at clients homes! Just more of a safety thing for all the pups!
“Mary Alice was just great! She was quick to respond and quick to assure us she could help us when we traveled. She was very thorough, very communicative, and very kind. We enjoyed having her help us with our pets. We will ask her to help on our next trip!”
“dayton took such great care of our two kittens! she was very accommodating with booking changes, initiated a meet and greet, was communicative and left thoughtful updates with pictures. we would definitely book her again in the future :)”
“Amanda and her partner, Jonathan, were great. They are reliable. They were flexible when we had a few changes and even agreed to an additional visit which we didn’t end up needed. They responded immediately to texts. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.”
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 (:
