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.

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.

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.

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’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.

“I'm very thankful to have found Emil. I work in retail and consequently work almost every weekend. Emil walks my little chihuahua for me every Saturday and Sunday. 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!”

I am off early on Wednesdays and Fridays, and all weekend! I am able to spend most of my time off caring for your pets with minimal interruptions or coming and going. We are currently in the process of moving and updating business requirements accordingly, so in-home boarding is very limited. For in-home sitting, I aim to leave each home cleaner than I arrived. I utilize a secure lockbox for key management. I commute frequently with pet parents with a lot of pictures and videos!!

About: Hi! We’re a family of 6 with two in college who are home for the summer and are excited to help. We also have a 15 year old daughter who adores all animals and a 6 year old who loves to play and throw balls for more active dogs and fill in with lots of extra love. There is almost always someone home as I am also home for the summer and my husband works from home a few days/ week. Our main goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable and happy to be here. I work just 3 mornings per week during the school year and my husband has a flexible schedule, often working from home, so there is almost always someone here to care for and keep the dogs company. We have a fenced in back yard and a great neighborhood for walks. We are very pet friendly, as we allow them on sofas and wherever they are comfortable :)

About: I've had a large breed dog for 8 years & absolutely love bully breeds. I now have 4 large breed dogs! I am super patient when it comes to raising puppies. Both my adult dogs have very high toy & prey drive so I have experience with high drive dogs. I also have experience with dogs who do not like other dogs or animals. I have experience taking care of cats as I occasionally do drop ins for some cat owners. I am comfortable taking care of farm animals & other exotic animals like snakes, lizards, etc. I am very flexible with schedules as I am currently not working. I do care for 4 of my own dogs, but can work around them if needed. I will crate your dogs if its needed and keep them separated if needed. If there is a potty accident in the house I will clean it up for you. I'll feed the pets if needed and make sure the water is clean and fresh. I have experience with intact dogs and will make sure to keep females and males separate if needed to ensure no accidental litters happen.

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 worked at the kennel next to my house for a year and walked/dog sat family and friends dogs and puppies for most of my life! I go to school at UVA and live in a house with 4 other girls! My parents also live 10 minutes away with two Mini Bernedoodles if your dog wants friends!

Samantha S.
“I have two larger dogs, one Black Lab Mix (10) and one Mix Hound (3). Anytime I need someone to watch them, I always ask Sam first. She is very kind and caring to both of my dogs and always makes sure that they are well taken care of. Both of my dogs are very comfortable with Sam and her dog Daisy and always get excited and start "dancing" around, wagging their tails and go straight to the front window when I say "Sam and Daisy are coming!" She sticks to their feeding schedule, as well as not giving them table scrapes. She makes sure my older dog gets his meds in the morning and evening. She also lets the dogs go about their normally routine without changing it. If I every have questions about how they are doing, I just ask and she immediately lets me know. She is very good at providing daily updates and pictures throughout her stays with my dogs. I would HIGHLY recommend Sam to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
