“Morgan has been consistently great during her visits with Tobi. She always rinses his water bowl and makes sure he is hydrated! She ends their visits playing with his favorite toys. It is easy to see he is having a great time in all his Rover card pictures ❤️”
“Megan was lovely, she did great with the cats making sure Artie and Riasin had lots of attention and playtime. Artie is currently taking medicine and she made sure to get it to Artie when needed. Thank you Megan!”

About: Hi! For many years, I was a Fear Free Certified veterinary assistant in Charlottesville, VA. I also have experience as a dog kennel manager, farm assistant & animal rescue volunteer/advocate. During my 10 years of petsitting work, i’ve learned how to make your pets as stress free as possible while your away. Petsitting is my full time job! It is easy for both myself & my clients to have such flexibility. I schedule my days off based off of my client’s bookings. I have studied animal medicine & behavior for.

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!
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.
“Brittany was AWESOME! I was so anxious leaving my dogs as I usually don’t do drop-in service but she really set my mind at ease. She was so kind and my dogs loved her and all the walks & trips to the dog park. She even kept my destructive/playful corgi from tearing apart his beloved tennis balls ? I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you!!!”

“Samantha provided multiple pictures each visit and was very patient with our shy dog. Our dog and cat are happy and healthy and no messes. Definitely recommend and will hire her again. Five stars!”
“Beth and Stephen were lovely. They met my pets before I confirmed, were timely in their responses, and provided pictures of my pets they checked in on daily. Highly recommend.”
About: I have cared for dogs my whole life. My family has 3 dogs, and for 3 years we fostered special needs dogs from the animal shelter: litters of puppies, sick dogs, pregnant dogs, and dogs with special medical needs. I volunteered as a dog walker at our animal shelter. I worked for a year at a dog boarding facility handling all aspects of dog care: feeding, medication, walks and play, cleaning. I attended puppy socialization and training classes with my own dogs. I am a college sophomore available for summer, weekend and holiday pet sitting in and near Greene County. I can be with your pets overnight from dinner time to after breakfast. I have a flexible part-time daytime job, so can return for daytime potty and visits as needed. I start by understanding your pets daily routine, medical and care needs, and your expectations. I will make a visit to introduce myself before your trip. While you are away, I will send regular updates and ask any questions.
“You’re amazing! I’m a little jealous thought... I think they like you better! ? Thank you for taking such great care of them and going out of your way to keep them clean and safe. I was totally at piece once I saw the first pics.”
“Haleigh was great with my dog, she was friendly and playful. On both days she was on time and had great time with my dog Peter. We felt very comfortable and relaxed! Highly recommended!!”
About: I’ve taken care of many different size pets. Usually different dog breeds, everything from a yorkie to a bull mastiff. Older dogs 10 years plus and even puppies for a bit of time.

Usually I will drop my pet off at my parents house so it makes it easier to focus and stay on top of each pets needs.

Madelyn K.
“Look no further, Madelyn Kim is the gem of a person that you want caring for your dogs, cats, humans, yourself- you name it. I've know Madelyn for over 7 years, over that time she has house sat for me watching my cat, puppy - who is now a full grown dog and is entirely obsessed with her, and my home. Madelyn is honest, kind, responsive, timely, responsible, respectful, considerate, and an all around wonderful human being. She cares deeply for all life and treats all creatures, humans included, with the utmost respect. She once house sat for me, watching my 6 month old puppy and elderly cat, for what was supposed to be a long weekend in the winter. When I got snowed in and was unable to return home, Madelyn adjusted her life and stayed at my house, caring for my creatures, gardens, and home, for what ended up being 2 weeks in total. I cannot recommend her highly enough. 10 out of 5 stars.”
lindsey g.
“Lindsey is an incredible pet sitter, and I couldn’t recommend her more! I usually worry when having someone watch Stella because she’s high maintenance, but with Lindsey, that thought doesn’t even cross my mind. She takes such great care of my beagle, treating her like one of her own. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that Stella is in loving and capable hands when I’m away. Lindsey is reliable, attentive, and truly understands animals. I always come home to a happy pup, and that means everything to me. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet like family, Lindsey is the one!”

“Sophia is a great house and pet sitter. We plan to continue to use her. She’s has been flexible and given us great peace of mind when we are away.”
Paige K.
“We use Paige all of the time and I cannot speak more highly of her. She is wonderful and our dogs are so comfortable there. Her dogs and my dogs get together and run themselves ragged for an hour, crash and then claim spots on the floor and furniture and everything is great! They even get excited when we say you are going to Paige's house. Paige is a wonderful person and I trust her wholeheartedly.”
