About: Hi, I’m Sydney! I am the owner of Notch Creek, I specialize in behavioral dogs, farms and personalized care. I have a full time job in cville at a local pet facility so I can accept jobs from Buckingham to Charlottesville! I’m currently working short shifts in Charlottesville.

I treat every space like I would want someone to treat mine. Many pictures of your pets are sent, health and overall well being so you have a peace of mind.
About: What sets me apart is the level of love, patience, and personalized care I give every pet. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppies who need consistency, potty breaks, playtime, and basic routine reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may need a gentler pace, extra patience, medication support, or additional comfort. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents always know their furry family members are happy and well cared for. I’m able to help out on Monday-Friday or Saturdays and Sundays. Let me know what fits your needs and I will be more then happy to accommodate! I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Especially in their own home. I do not accept boarding as my currently home is renting.

I have a 3 year old dog named Ace who came to me as a puppy. I raised him and have trained him to be off leash, sit, stay, paw, and heel.

About: Friendly sitter with experience with senior pups, cats and chickens. I currently have two wonderful dogs and a handful of chickens. One of our dogs is what we believe is a Foxhound and the other is a Shepherd mix. Both are rescues so we are not sure. I also have experience with cats, parrots (green crowned conure) and various farm animals. Update: I no longer work from home. I am now in Richmond M-F, 8-5. I am happy to stop by during my lunch break to check on your babies in the city. Any other surrounding areas would have to be weekends and not during work hours. Apologies for any inconvenience! I am happy to stop by your home and care for your pets. One of my pups is reactive and we do not want to make her (or your baby) uncomfortable by bringing other pets into our space.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have been dog-sitting since I was 12! My favorite part is taking dogs on multiple walks a day, it is such a strong point of connection and exercise for them! I’m currently working part-time while in graduate school, so my schedule is very flexible! I am off work during the summer, so more availability ! I make sure that I am gentle and warm when first meeting pets, to build the rapport! I also ensure to implement how the owners take care of their pet, so it feels familiar!
“Abigail is great! She is fantastic with my dog, who can be shy around people but liked Abigail from the start. I really appreciate how easy she is to work with and am very happy for the great care she gives to my dog!”

About: I have had a variety of animals my whole life! I absolutely love being around animals and spending time with them. I have taken care of dogs of all ages, all the way from newborn to seniors! I am available on weekdays only. I do work a breakfast shift (5am-11am) Wednesday to Saturday. However, I am available the rest of the day! I will have plenty of time to tend to your animals and take care of their needs. I have a very large unfenced yard that would be great for leashed activities like walking and going potty. I also have a fenced area that’s perfect for some unleashed outdoor time. I would keep any pets inside most of the time to ensure safety while I am with them. I do have a crate that I could keep your pet in while I am at work (if your baby is crate trained). All animals are allowed to roam the house and sleep in the bed if that’s allowed at home!

I am available part time since I have my own farm. I am available 7 days a week I am flexible on hours. Please feel free to call me to figure out hours. Thanks Sadly I can not keep animals at my farm at the moment. I have dogs of my own and it is asking a lot of them for me to keep them here. I would love to take care of your animals at your home.
About: Happy Hearts Pet Sitting gives dogs a wonderful park-like experience and loving environment. We have over 150 acres of beautiful rolling hills conveniently located between Lynchburg and Charlottesville. During the visit, we will take your dog for relaxing on-leash walks. When they are indoors, they will have access to a large, comfortable farmhouse with loving people to keep them company. We will never let your dog off the leash outside and will always give them the highest level of supervision. I have been watching dogs for conscientious pet owners for over 12 years, and I have had a dog for many years. Since the dogs have the run of the house and we live on a farm with lots of outdoor activity, we require that dogs are treated with flea and tick medicine before arrival. Other Information: The Rover calendar is not always correct, so please contact me with your dates instead of relying on the calendar(: Even if our calendar is marked as booked, we may still have extra spots. Always contact me to be sure we are fully booked! Note: I do not guarantee that your dog will be the only dog at my house during their stay. If you would like to know what dogs will be here during your dog's stay, just ask and I will be happy to check(: If you are uncomfortable having ANY other dogs here during your dog's stay, let me know and I can try and work that out. We hope your puppy comes to the farm soon for a visit filled with fresh air, lots of exercise, and most of all lots of love and attention. It's like a farm spa for dogs. See you soon! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my life since I was young. Friends, family, significant others, and my own which entailed bathing, walking, training, feeding, and just going outside and playing fetch with them. My whole life I have been a major animal lover of all shapes and sizes, and I have years of experience to make you comfortable with me taking care of your pet. I make it my priority to spend as much time with my dog Sadie as possible, I bathe when necessary because she loves to be outside and makes a mess of herself I walk her, feed her, and take her to the dog park with me some days. I will do whatever you all would like to do when it comes to your fur babies if that entails crating when necessary I can, or giving your dog medication, I would love if you’d like me to take your dog on walks it’s always good for them to get as much exercise as possible, just know that when it comes to your pets I understand how important it is to be getting the proper care and I will make sure that will happen. I’m currently unemployed and I’m very much available right now, I would like to work more full time like Monday-Friday 8am-5pm I can also do boarding. I would ensure your dog is safe and well taken care of, monitoring the dog at all times is key and being aware of surroundings for the fur baby.

About: I currently have a 12 year old chihuahua that I’ve had since 9th grade. Growing up my mother would take in rescues and find them homes if they did not get along with my chihuahua. My mother also cleaned houses for a living and I would go along and help her, while also helping her pet sit for those same clients. I am a gentle, loving, passionate care giver for any pet in my care. I am active and always available to give a pet the care they need when their loved one is away! I am in school full-time so my schedule varies. Having an older dog, she cannot go for the long walks I would like to take her on, so let me help both of us and take your pup out to explore the world! Animals of all shapes, handicaps, personalities, and more are always welcome!! This is an opportunity for extra fun. Thank you for inquiring for my help. Always appreciated. I have my own pet so I understand the necessary accommodations they need on a daily basis. I like to set aside enough time daily to provide the same care I provide my dog Abbey to my client’s pets.
