Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Fry Springs, Charlottesville, VA

It has to be pulled to completely, it has kind of a vacuum like, just as a precaution in the future…to ensure it’s secure. Fortunately they didn’t realize it and explore leaving. I’m grateful for your service and care.”

My boys seemed to really like her 🥺 I expected them to be skiddish and run away, but they did not! My cats can sense when people have good intentions, and they were very trusting of her. I would definitely hire her again!”

“Katie was the perfect sitter for my cats. I’m new in town, and i could tell i could trust her the minute she walked in to my house. My boys loved her, and I knew they were in great hands. And she was very patient with their needy mother 🤪 thank you, Katie!”

Moose is more excited to see Amaris than anyone else I know, including myself! Moose has both stayed with Amaris and Amaris has watched Moose at our home. Every time has been a great experience and we feel peace of mind knowing Amaris is watching her when we're out of town.”

About: I have raised multiple dogs from birth to adulthood and am experienced with reward-based training methods (rather than punishment-based). I have cared for dogs with special needs and during injury/illness recovery. I'm an active person and happy to help your dog be active as well! I work from home and have a semi-flexible schedule. Because of this I can usually accomodate for any time needed with enough notice (at least one day). I am happy to work with any special routines or accomodations you may require. I have experience with special needs dogs, medication management, dietary restrictions, and mobility issues. With my background in biomedical sciences, you can trust that your pet is safe and in good hands.

“Nada has been helping out with my sweet Lucy for the past week and I’ve been able to see a huge difference in Lucy’s overall wellbeing! Since Nada, Lucy has been so much happier! We love Nada!”

“Kellar was excellent with our cat for about a week’s worth of sitting. Very responsive and sent pictures everyday. Our home was well taken care of and we came home to happy kitty. Would hire again!”

“Caroline truly went above and beyond what we'd expected for a dog sitter. She came a few days beforehand to meet Rusty and get familiar with him so that when she arrived on the day, he was eager and excited to see her ( ie. get cuddles, playtime, food and a walk outside. She also graciously sent us pictures and regular updates on Rusty. Overall she was friendly, interesting -- be sure to ask about her connection to the movie Top Gun Maverick :), timely, thorough and clearly a dog lover. I think Rusty made a friend for life. We'll definitely be asking Caroline to watch over our pup again.”
