Pet Sitting in Charlottesville

“Thank you so much for caring for Grace & Louie! They were happy to see me and all seemed well. The front door was ajar. It has to be pulled to completely, it has kind of a vacuum like, just as a precaution in the future…to ensure it’s secure. Fortunately they didn’t realize it and explore leaving. I’m grateful for your service and care.”

“Kim was fantastic! She was so sweet with our pups and did a great job watching them while we were away. We got the best pup photos! She was wonderful with administering medication and walking. We’ll definitely be working with her whenever we can moving forward!”

“Nathan was great with sunshine! He was communicative and timely! Definitely recommend :)”

“We’ve recently starting having Morgan come over for drop in visits to keep our 2 year old golden company while we are working from home. She is a phenomenal caregiver. Really spends the entire hour engaging in play and cuddling rather than just watching her. She is very attentive and thorough and had no problem taking us on as a client even though our pup has some behavioral issues. You can tell she has lots of experience with a variety of animals and behavior types. Highly recommend Morgan!”

“Miriah was absolutely fabulous and saved us by being able to check on our puppy on very short notice. She was extremely professional and I came home to a happy, safe puppy. Very pleased!”

“Katie was the perfect sitter for my cats. I’m new in town, and i could tell i could trust her the minute she walked in to my house. My boys loved her, and I knew they were in great hands. And she was very patient with their needy mother 🤪 thank you, Katie!”

“Kassie took great care of our pup! She was accommodating with our changes and super helpful!”

“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!!”

“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!”

“Very prompt and willing to come at the last minute. Really helpful.”

“Rhiana is the BEST! It’s clear that my kitties were well cared for and attended to. She’s been amazing at giving my diabetic cat his insulin injections every 12 hours. She’s an excellent communicator and I felt very connected and informed.”

“Carolyn helped keep me calm! I was trying to enjoy myself at a concert, but I was worried about my pup. She was great at communicating with me!”

“Nice, prompt, easy and helpful”

“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!”

“I used Sara as a dog walker, and she was perfect for the job as I needed a reliable walker with my busy schedule. She exceeded all expectations in caring for my furry companion, Ivy! Not only did Sara ensure Ivy's safety during their walks, but she also made sure Ivy had the time of her life! When I returned home, Ivy was not just tired from her adventures but genuinely happy and content. Sara went the extra mile by sending me delightful pictures of Ivy, which brightened up my day and assured me that Ivy was in great hands. It's evident that Sara truly loves what she does. Ivy was showered with attention and even some well-deserved treats. I couldn't have asked for a better caretaker for my pup. Sara is fantastic, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of top-notch pet care!”

“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.”

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.

“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”

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.

“Amaris has watched my dog, Moose, many times over there last several years. She cares for Moose like she is her own and is incredibly responsive and responsible. Moose is more excited to see Amaris than anyone else I know, including myself! Moose has both stayed with Amaris and Amaris has watched Moose at our home. Every time has been a great experience and we feel peace of mind knowing Amaris is watching her when we're out of town.”
