“Briana was a life saver! On short notice her house visits kept our elderly husky feeling comfortable and our boys were so relaxed and happy! We're so grateful she was willing to take on our boys and recommend her to any dog owners - you'll be lucky and so will your puppies!”

“Emily did amazing! After our meet and greet with the dogs I knew everything would be okay. I love how much care they put into the report card, it really makes you feel comfortable knowing everything that happened during the walk/visit. Lulu and Cloud also seemed to have a great time and love spending time with Emily. I recommend her for all your dog sitting need”

For frequent potty breaks and walks, we have a readily-accessible tree-lined outside pet area and trail spanning the entirety of our condominium complex outside our front door.

While I am highly adaptable and love to have fun with your pet, I am also extremely conscientious. Clients must be okay with my pet-loving wife occasionally accompanying me on visits for pets with high needs, including bathing and medication needs for larger dogs. (References available)
“Petra is amazing with our little Luna! She takes her out potty, feeds her lunch and does some play during the day. Gives my wife and I peace of mind during the day while we are at work that our new baby is taken well care of. Would recommend her for your puppy needs!”
About: I started pet sitting at age 13, and have loved every moment of it. Since having the same dog since 4th grade, I am passionate about animals and love working with them. I am a college student and attend classes at UVA during the week. I am flexible and can work around the owner's schedule according to my availability! I only provide care for pets in the owner's home to provide the most comfort for the animal. I feel that bringing pets to my home causes stress on the animal, and will treat the owner's home with utmost respect.
“Nathan was so helpful! He was willing to fit me in last minute. He replied quickly to messages and even called from the house to make sure he took care of everything I needed.”
“Abigail was amazing with my cat Felix. He took to her very quickly and she was there every day to make sure he had fresh food and water. She also got in some play time with him, which I was very appreciative of. She was very responsive and always sent pics. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I work remote so I can always be available for your little buddy! I’m a medical student, so I will have to be gone a few hours in the morning, but after that I can cater to any of your animals needs. I get up around 7 AM and head to get around 11:30. I always take frequent breaks throughout the day to stretch my legs and get some sun. Whatever you need, I’ll make sure your pet is well loved and appreciated! My house is always very clean and very spacious. I also live right next to a park and go for walks by myself regularly. Whenever I watch my friends animals, I bring my own food and activities and leave the place better than I found it.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and truly love working with them. Since the age of 10, I’ve looked after dozens of dogs, volunteered at multiple shelters, and trained two puppies. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes from tiny 8 pound pups to large 100 pound dogs. I would be honored to watch your dog and can promise they’ll receive plenty of attention, care, and love while in my hands. I already have a dog to walk on a daily basis and I am home for most of every day. I will have the free time to take care of your dog to the best of my ability. I have a dog crate, homemade dog house, and an organized 3 story house the dog can stay in and roam around. There is a small front yard and a large area outback for space to walk.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for over 20 years, pets are my passion! I am also a former Petshotel and Doggie Day Camp Manager for a national chain and have extensive experience handling dogs, cats, and small pets of all sizes and breeds. I am currently accepting small and medium sized dogs for in house day care and overnight stays. I specialize in small and delicate breed types, not usually suited for kenneling or vet boarding. All fur babies will be treated as family members while here! They can sit on the couch, sleep on the bed, and watch TV with us just like at home. Some larger "gentle giants" can be considered on a case by case basis, just reach out. I believe pets are family! All pets in my care are treated with loving and gentle guidance using only positive reinforcement. All dogs will remain on leash the entirety of their walk. We have a fenced in area off the back patio for bathroom breaks with wood chips as ground coverage. No grass of any kind for the safety of those pets with grass and skin allergies.
About: I've been a pet caretaker since I was 12. Dogs quickly connect with me for play, walking and companionship- just like you were there too. I have a very flexible schedule with my JMU classes this semester so I have lots of available time to spend with your fur baby. I am very comfortable using any style leash for walking and using crates. My time with your fur baby will focus on play, fun and comfort
About: I will walk, bathe, and feed your precious loves. I will make sure your babies are loved and cared for. If you don’t like something for your animals, I won’t do it. Willing to negotiate if you have multiple dogs , or cats if you have cats. I will make sure your lovely animals are happy and well taken care of while under my supervision and care. I don’t allow animals on my bed but they are allowed on my futon, if you may have special ways of taking care of them I will make sure they are taken care of the way you want them to be! I love animals and want them happy! Willing to travel and stay at your home with your animals if that’s what you’re more comfortable with! I’m currently not working, so my time and attention is 100% on your loved animals. I will make sure your baby is loved and taken care of. I have an unfenced yard but i do have a leash & a dog cable so i can have your dog outside getting some sun and enjoying the weather. I have 1 dog that can keep your dog company!
About: Cared for my shihtzu dog for 16 years- can put diapers on dogs, care for elderly small dogs, etc!! I am very patient and small dogs have my heart! My dog was dead and blind towards the end of his life- so I can care for elderly dogs well. I work 3 12-hour shifts a week, so I can be flexible on my days off for pet sitting/house sitting. Wouldn’t mind staying over night or letting dogs out and get cuddles in! I live in a gated apartment complex and can easily take dogs outside to go on walks right outside my place!! Lots of walking nearby my place
