Dakota connects well with our dog Patrick and is able to re-direct him when he wants to just turn around and come home. Our pup can be just one small ball of over excitement and exuberance and they handle that well. Dakota has been very reliable and always lets me know if he needs to adjust the time a bit.

Amy was a fantastic friend to our 10-year old Husky while we were out of town. She frequently went “above and beyond” to assure that She was calm and settled. Our reports were detailed and thoughtful. Additional, she was extremely responsive to us and our dog. We are grateful and recommend her as a thoughtful, caring pet partner!

Julia is an exceptional dog walker. Her care of our dog is outstanding, from the length of the walks to her following what we have asked of her. And she not only understands her role, but proactively found a replacement for future times she will be unable to walk him. We could not be happier with Julia!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds for over 8 years and have experience with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and overnight care. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets and make sure they feel comfortable and safe while away. I also have personal experience with wound care and closely monitoring my own dog during recovery, so I understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and following care instructions carefully. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like my own. I’m currently working part time at the University of Virginia, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend caring for your pets throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and making sure your pets get lots of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in both my home and my client’s home. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and needs and make sure they get plenty of affection, exercise, and supervision. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I treat every pet like my own giving them plenty of care, attention, and love. I have experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets, tailoring my care to meet their unique needs. Whether your dog needs extra playtime, medication, or just company, I make sure they stay happy and comfortable while you’re away. My communication is consistent, and I always keep pet parents updated with photos and notes for peace of mind. Pet care fits really well into my weekly routine. I currently work three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility on my off days and most weekends to focus on pets. On the days I’m working, I can still accommodate morning, evening, and some weekend visits, so pets get reliable, attentive care built into my schedule. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh water, food as instructed, a potty break, and plenty of playtime or cuddles so they feel comfortable while you’re away. For dog walks, I focus on safe, enjoyable walks that match your dog’s energy level, making sure they get exercise, enrichment, and a chance to explore while I keep you updated with notes and photos after each visit.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them. I have two cats of my own, and I enjoy dog and cat sitting just as much as spending time with my own pets. Since I love going on long walks, I’m the perfect match for dogs who need some exercise. Whether it's a walk, a check in, or overnight, I will make sure your pets get all the love and care they need! I currently work close to full time, but I still have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to other responsibilities. My days are always free until 4pm, and I’m also available later in the evenings. In addition, I’m off every Sunday, which allows me even more time! I will care for your pets with the same love and compassion I give my own. I'm responsible and dependable, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

James did a great job! We have an older dog and a puppy, and James walked both of them. He communicated with us throughout the day about their walks, and he was flexible with his scheduling for us. We will definitely use James again, and we would highly recommend him to any other dog owners.

About: I’ve always had animals growing up. My family bred Saint Bernards, so I have experience with animals of all sizes and ages. I loved helping take care of them, but have been unable since I moved for college. I am really excited to meet your pets. I’m currently working part-time with a very flexible job. I can do anytime as long as I have about a weeks notice prior. Thank you! I have a fenced in court-yard and currently have no pets, so your pet is my number 1 priority. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with plenty of space for your animals!

She has great communication and has made my life easier knowing my dog is taken care of during the day when I can’t be there! Highly recommend her services! My schedule is changing but I will definitely be a return customer when I need her again. Thanks Maddie!
