“2nd time that Ed is taking care of our cat and once again, we couldn't be happier. Ed is amazing taking care of our cat, also he is always willing to help out for anything else while we are away. 100% recommend and will use Ed's services again in the future, THANK YOU Ed!”
“Nicole did a great job taking care of our kitties! She was on time with their feeding schedules and we loved the candid photos with every visit so we could see how they were doing!”
“Danielle took wonderful care of my two cats while I was away. She made sure they had plenty of food, water, and treats, gave them lots of love, and kept me updated the whole time. Her kindness and attention to detail gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend her!”
About: Animals are my true heart and passion. I've had dogs my entire life, from min pins to mastiffs. There's no animal I won't truly love. I currently volunteer at a few local places and am not employed. I have a passion for all animals and a love of helping others. My animals are my children and are treated as such. Their safety and comfort comes before my own. I will treat your home and furry babies with love and respect.
“Kelsie was great. I needed a sitter to drop in on Augusta twice a day on short notice and Kelsie was available. She was able to get Augusta, a very shy girl, to come out to visit.”
“Madelyn is amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little apprehensive because my pup can be feisty and temperamental. Madelyn was super accommodating, calm, and professional. She sent great pictures and definitely put my mind at ease while I was on vacation. Will 100% be using her again!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs and love to bond with them. Family and friends have let me pet sit for years and who doesn’t love hanging out with a cute dog. I am currently a part time student and in my off I go on walks and play with my own dog at home. I also go to dog parks to play with my two dogs. I will keep eyes on your pets and play with them and get their energy out. I will also make sure your pet has a new best friend.
“Caroline was a great sitter! She took great care of our dog while we were at our wedding. She gave us peace of mind about our pup when we had a million other things going on! We would certainly use her services again.”
“This is the second time we have used Tessa to care for our cats. We are very happy with the care she gives our babies and her communication throughout her visits is quite welcome. We look forward to booking her again when she returns to Charlottesville in the Fall.”
“Yana is great! She was scheduled for a drop in for my dogs. They loved her and she gave attention to my cat as well (not that he gives anyone a choice). The dogs were happy and worn out when I got home. I will absolutely be booking with her again.”
“Tiziana did great with my cats! Awesome communication and care. She was fantastic at giving my elderly cat meds twice a day and being patient with my somewhat skidish cat. Highly recommend!”
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've been taking care of dogs and cats for friends and neighbors for around three years now. My family has two cats and two dogs that I've helped care for and train since they were young. I also have experience with older animals and their needs since one of my dogs and one of my cats are twelve. I currently don't have any other summer employment, so my schedule is open. I am available mornings, afternoons and late evenings every day of the week and weekends, just not for overnight care. I can stop by throughout the day to feed, play with, and let out animals. I can also do short or long walks with dogs or even cats!
“Chelsea is great! She checks in before her scheduled time to figure out details. She sends pictures and updates, which puts my mind at ease. She even checked in on the day I was returning to offer and extra drop-in in case I was getting in late. I really appreciate her kindness!”

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.”
