Cat Sitting in Charlottesville

“I am lucky to have had Tabia look after my two kitties while I was out of town. She followed all my instructions and tips and sent me the very many daily photos I requested. Her love for cats and sweet nature was immediately evident during our meet and greet and even more so through her daily rover cards detailing her visits with the cats. I highly recommend her for any cat sitting needs and will hopefully be hiring her again if I need a cat sitter!”

“Kim did a great job housesitting with our kitten Strider and you can tell how deeply she cares for animals. We were very nervous leaving him for the first time, but Kim put us at ease and made fast friends with Strider.”

“Super responsive and took wonderful care of my cat!!”

“Rhiana is like a second mom to my kitties. They love her! I can’t say enough great things about her. I already have her lined up again before the end of this month. I don’t worry for a second knowing she’s taking care of my two boys.”

“This was my first time using Rover or any app to find a sitter and I am very pleased! Katie did a great job keeping me informed during her visits and providing pictures of my very shy cat. Will definitely use her again in the future!”

“We always have Mariah care for our cat and dog anytime we need pet care. She is wonderful and always keeps us updated on how they are doing. This is our third time having her care for them and we will continue to do so.”

“Nina took great care of my cat while I was away! She provided great updates and photos and gave my kitty lots of play time and attention. I would definitely recommend Nina!”

“I have hired Anne Elise 2 times now and will continue to have her look after my kitties while I’m away. She’s great! Even giving my one kitty a pill that he hates lol”

“Second time that Carolyn comes to catsit Kenny, and we can't be any happier. Everything is perfect with Carolyn. That's why kenny loves her and why we can chill out knowing he is in such good hands. 100% recommendable! Thanks for being our trip saviour, Carolyn!”

“Mikaela went above and beyond for miss ember, cleaning up after her accidents in the cage two days in a row and taking her on some great walks. Thank you!!”

“Nice, prompt, easy and helpful”

“Martina was so attentive and caring toward my cat! I will definitely be booking again with her. It relieved so much of my stress while in vacation.”

“Melissa goes above and beyond when caring for my dog, from spending extra time playing with him to sitting with him to make sure that he eats while I’m gone. My dog always looks forward to her visits! Thanks Melissa!”

“Alexa was a wonderful sitter and did a great job with my two crazy cats and perfectly executed my very detailed and somewhat demanding list of ‘to do’s’. she was also very communicative which I really appreciated”

“Sara is the absolute best! From the moment I entrusted my furry friend into Sara's care, I knew I had found someone truly special. Sara demonstrated a great level of dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. Her attention to detail and commitment to providing top-notch care for my dog was evident in every interaction. Whether it was regular updates, thoughtful gestures, or going the extra mile to ensure my dog felt comfortable and loved, Sara exceeded all expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Sara to anyone seeking a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter. With Sara, you can rest assured that your pet will receive the utmost care and attention they deserve.”

“Doris is great! I am a nervous helicopter cat owner, but she is reliable and timely. She gives my girl lots of attention and sends me reassuring details so i can see how my monster is fairing while I’m away.”

About: I have raised multiple dogs from birth to adulthood and am experienced with reward-based training methods (rather than punishment-based). I have cared for dogs with special needs and during injury/illness recovery. I'm an active person and happy to help your dog be active as well! I work from home and have a semi-flexible schedule. Because of this I can usually accomodate for any time needed with enough notice (at least one day). I am happy to work with any special routines or accomodations you may require. I have experience with special needs dogs, medication management, dietary restrictions, and mobility issues. With my background in biomedical sciences, you can trust that your pet is safe and in good hands.

About: I'm a pet person! My favorite part of caring for dogs is the walks, whether it's just a a few minutes or a few miles. My experience is as follows: ☆Caring for my family's cat and dog, from youth/kitten to senior age ☆Pet-sitting for friend's cats and dogs ☆Volunteering in a high-volume animal shelter ☆Volunteering with a puppy rescue (walking + working on leash training) I've cared for cats and dogs in all stages, from puppies and kittens to senior animals. I'm always open to learn to care for animals of all kinds and grow my experience! I have open availability for walks and overnight stays! I'm currently not equipped to board in my home but hope to in the future. I'm new to Charlottesville and hope to build community + support myself through pet care until my summer job starts. Keeping a safe and stress-free environment for your pet is my priority! I'll follow your lead in terms of feeding times, walk length + route, and crate procedures to make your pets experience as safe and consistent as possible.

“Lydia did a wonderful job checking in on my 2 cats while I was traveling for a week. She was super communicative in her updates with great attention to detail, including keeping their litter boxes tidy, refilling their water fountain and making sure my finnicky automatic feeder wasn’t clogged. She went above and beyond, making it a very stress-free experience for both my cats and myself. I would not hesitate to recommend Lydia or use her services again.”

“Sarah is the best! She took such good care of my two cats while I was out of town. She sent me tons of pictures, and gave them lots of love and snuggles! She is my go to Rover sitter when I need someone! 💕”
