About: when you choose me as your pet sitter, you have nothing to worry about. I care for all pets as if they're my own. I live in an apartment and I'm currently only available to do boarding with one dogs but will consider two if they are bonded pair. before any boarding or housesitting services confirmed, I require we meet in person to ensure all the details are understood and that your dogs are OK with my dog. I have a 30 pound beagle mix named Daisy who is three years old and she will be with me at all times. I am always available for drop in visits and dog walking. prices fluctuate due to various factors but the main ones these days are gas prices and distance of travel. I.e The farther away you are the more likely there is that a added fee will occur before confirmation of service. I provide pet care in services full-time as of November 2021. I am available at any time if you need me. i'm currently available for the following services: housesitting, pet boarding, drop in visit, dog walking for 30 minutes or 60 minutes, and one on one dog training. if your dog is with me, I live in a neighborhood that is very dog friendly. We have two dog parks and I am often at these dog parks at least once a day. However if you have a dog that is not comfortable with that I would not take them there. I would focus on other activities that are more suited to your pet. I also take a lot of pictures and I am constantly in contact with you so you don't have to worry where or what we're doing. I currently work as a therapist with an office in the Madison area, right next to the plow and hearth. My schedule is pretty flexible and it changes weekly as my client needs change. I am almost always around, that makes me a great person for any last minute bookings needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of affection, daily walks, and playtime tailored to your pet’s needs. I keep the space clean, secure, and low-stress, with my own well-behaved dog Daisy as a companion if your pet is comfortable. When staying in your home, I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions closely, maintain regular updates, and work to ensure your pet feels safe and cared for in their familiar environment. I aim to build trust with both pets and their people every step of the way.
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. I grew up on a farm and have always loved animals. My girls Piper, Ella and Shelby are my world. I love these dogs like they are children. They are spoiled I will admit. I also have taken care of my friends dogs for years while they have been out of town and my house as "Aunt Paige's Doggie Camp" All my dogs I have brought up from puppies. I have house trained them, crate trained them and trained them on the invisible fence for the yard. They always get lots of love and have lots of toys to play with, both inside and outside. I work from home, so I'm always here to take them out and take care of them. My dogs are always outside when it's not too hot or the weather is bad. I live on a quite street which ends in a cul-da-sak. So I will walk them at least 2 times a day The most important thing is they must get along with other dogs. I have a invisible fence in my yard and can certainly put your dog on it if they are trained on one. Otherwise I will go out with them and walk them. If they are well trained and can be lose a return on command they can play in the yard with my girls.
“Winnie loves her walks with Amanda! Amanda has been wonderful, great communication and always shares cute pictures. She’s been able to adjust schedule as needed. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi!! Along with my great love for pets and animals in general, I have a dog (yorkiepoo 8 y/o) who I am the sole caretaker for. Also, I have been pet sitting (coming by to walk/feed/hang out with) for a family with two dogs (labrador 7 y/o, retriever 9 y/o) for about 5 years. Lastly, I often spend days/weeks pet/house sitting for family with pets who take medicine daily and need regular exercise! I am a student at UVA, but am home for the summer looking to spend time doing something I love (being with animals)! I have another job as a server, but my schedule is very flexible and easy to adjust so I am often available! In your home, I make sure to solely focus on your pet and their needs and nothing else. If needed/asked, I can crate your pets or make sure they have everything necessary in there, along with making sure there are no choking hazards or anything like that.
“Dakota connects well with our dog Patrick and is able to re-direct him when he wants to just turn around and come home. Our pup can be just one small ball of over excitement and exuberance and they handle that well. Dakota has been very reliable and always lets me know if he needs to adjust the time a bit.”
About: I have provided care for many pets from my former teachers, neighbors, family and word of mouth. Both my pets have lived to be seniors and watched senior pets as well. I worked at an animal hospital for about 2 years before moving to this area. I am familiar with giving medications and following instructions on feeding due to allergies and stomach concerns in dogs. I am experienced with reactive dogs and protective dogs when entering the home. I am mostly able to do daily check ins in morning-midday. My work schedule varies, so just ask I can try to work something out! I will meet or chat with you prior to meeting your pup or cat and learn there favorite snacks, toys and walk routes. I want then to be comfortable with me.

He's very reliable and I never worry that he won't be able to make it. He also responds to any requests or questions very quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend Emil if you need someone to help care for your pups!”
About: Hi! My name is Riley and I'm a 20-year-old nursing student originally from South Carolina. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up on a farm raising and caring for different animals, so caretaking has always come naturally to me. As of now, I have 4 dogs back at home and 1 dog currently residing with me. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with all types of animals, my reliability, and how much I truly love caring for them. I understand how important it is to find someone to trust with your pets. I'm very communicative, respectful of each pet's/owner's unique needs, and can confidently handle anything from a laid-back walk to giving medications or handling multiple pets simultaneously. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I'll treat your pup(s) like family! Pet care is at the center of my daily life! Rover is my full-time job, which allows me to dedicate my full attention to the pets I care for. I will be starting nursing school in Fall 2025, but for now, I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of free time to focus completely on your pet’s needs. I live right beside the college campus, surrounded by hiking trails and parks — perfect for daily walks, outdoor adventures, and plenty of playtime. Making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for is always my #1 priority. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise — whether it’s relaxing at home, going for walks, playing in the dog park, or exploring nearby trails. In my home, your pet will also have the opportunity to socialize with my own friendly dog, who loves making new pup friends. I always keep a close eye on behavior and health to make sure they are happy and stress-free. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of small to medium sized dogs, fish, and cats since I was 15 years old. I have also taken care of reptiles for my friend. I focus on making sure that pets are clean, fed, happy, and healthy. I grew up with several cats, a fish, and one dog over the years. I am free on weekends all day and 7pm-9pm on weekdays. I work 7am-6pm M-F at my other job. I will always make time to get your pet the care it needs. When I come over to check on your pet I check food, water, litter, and any medications. I also make time for walks, pets, and play. I like to give your fur baby the attention they need. I clean up any messes I find when I pet sit so you don’t have to.
About: I have a pitbull, a dachshund, and a little cat. I love them all so much and enjoy spending as much time with them as they need. I am able to handle my 120 pound pitty on walks and trained him to be the best dog ever. I also trained my dachshund, which are very stubborn by the way :) I work full time but i am always available to come on my lunch breaks, before work, or after work. I am always off on the weekends so I am available anytime any day. I take care of my animals by always being on top of what they need. I make sure they have exercise so at night they are able to sleep. I make sure their belly’s are full and walk them about 45-1 hour later to make sure they know to use the bathroom outside. I give them PLENTY of attention and they always love being around me.
About: I have owned multiple dogs in my adulthood. I currently own a 2 year old golden who I have personally trained. I have worked at a dog day care for 5 months where I learned more about dog body language and how to diffuse any fights. I have walked and babysat dogs for friends. I consider all dogs to be my friends, because there is no such things as a bad dog. I work 12 hour night shifts Friday-Sunday. I am completely available Monday-Thursday, but can do some walks on weekends. Because my weeks are so open then I can spend more time taking care of pups. I have a friendly golden retriever who is only 2 (almost 3). She loves to play! She does great with other dogs (she used to have a brother) but also knows how to cuddle and chill. We have a big dog park that is hardly ever used where I could take her and yours.
About: I worked at a vet hospital for 6+ years and have been working at the SPCA for almost a year now! Animals are my life. I work at the SPCA, so I am used to handling animals throughout the day. The more time I get to spend with animals, the happier I am. I care for others pets as I would care for my own. I would want someone to treat my pets as their own when they are watching them, so that is the philosophy I follow.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. My oldest dog lived until he was 17. I played with my animals everyday for hours at a time. They were always well taken care of I’m basically free everyday of the week because all my classes are online so i’m able to care for your pets at anytime of the day I read the instructions that i’m given and go based off that. I love to spoil the animals and make them feel special. I give them lots of play time and make sure they’re comfortable in they’re environment

Samantha S.
“Sam is amazing. Very trustworthy and reliable. She’s the only person I’d leave my dog with. When she watched my dog he was very anxious and stressed as it was a new environment but she did everything she could to keep him relaxed and happy. My dog has this weird fear of slick floors and she laid out blankets on her floor so he could walk around comfortably! She also sent me a lot of pictures and videos where I could see that he went on walks, played with her dog Daisy and even took a nap on her couch.”
Paige K.
“Paige has been taking care of my 3 dogs for years. She is attentive, punctual and loves them just as much as I do. She keeps me updated when I am away, which is so comforting to me. I never have to worry when Paige is there! I highly recommend this fellow animal loving person!”

Chelsea T.
“I can’t recommend Chelsea enough! She’s watched our pets multiple times — we have four cats (one wild little kitten and three older cats who are all very different) and she’s handled them all with so much patience and care. She’s one of the only people we fully trust with our pets when we’re away. She’s also watched our doodle a couple times in the past, and he absolutely loved her. She’s great about keeping us updated, sending little pictures, and just overall giving us peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and takes the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and experienced with both cats and dogs, she’s it!”

Kathryn S.
“Kathryn began caring for our cats when she was just a teenager, and it was obvious that she loved them as her own. Over the years we have felt very comfortable knowing that they were in her care when we were on vacation. We enjoyed hearing about their activities, and she kept us updated during and following her visits with them. It is reassuring to know that our pets can remain in their own home, and still receive loving care they deserve.”

Caitlan F.
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Caitlin as a dog sitter for my two furry companions and I cannot recommend her enough. From the moment I met her, I could tell she had a genuine love and passion for dogs. She was incredibly organized and efficient, making sure to get all the necessary information about my dogs' routine and preferences. During her time with them, she went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of, from regular walks and playtime to ensuring they received their medications on time. Not only did she provide excellent care for my dogs, but she also sent me daily updates with pictures which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Caitlin's warm and friendly demeanor made it easy for my dogs to warm up to her, making their time together even more enjoyable. Overall, Caitlin is a wonderfully responsible and caring dog sitter who I would highly recommend to anyone in need of pet care services. I will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”
