“Maura was great with our anxious pup Rosie! We appreciated her willingness to do a meet and greet before hand and her flexibility with her time. Will absolutely have Maura come again!”

“Caroline took such great care of Bandit. He isn’t the easiest and it means so much that she cares so much. Also she is very punctual and a great communicator.”

“Danielle was amazing! She gave my mom great peace of mind while we were away on our trip, taking care of a senior cat who was newly on oral and topical medication to help with digestive issues. She even brought in a couple of packages that were delivered while we were gone. We would definitely use her again!”

“Margaret was great with our dog Ace! She made sure he had plenty of fun/ play time in addition to feeding/regular care for him while we were gone. She was open to schedule changes as needed. Would recommend!”

“Bailey did a great job with our boys! She arrived on time and spent time loving on our boys. We even added a last minute request to bring in some mail that needed to be refrigerated. Great experience. Will definitely recommend and have her come back anytime”

“My kitty had a great time with Robert. She is typically a bit wary around males but warmed up real quick when meeting him. She also had a bit of accident when I was away and Robert went above and cleaned it up with my pet vac. He even told me to keep an eye out for her health in case it was a sign of something worse. I definitely feel comfortable leaving my feline in his care in the future.”

“I found Ed last minute and he saved me ! I could not be more happier with his services. I was gone for 6 days and when I returned my cat (Bella) had been very well taken care of ! I will definitely be using Ed again and highly recommend him !!!”

“Emily is excellent pet sitter. I will use her again. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants someone who will not only take care of their pets while they are away, ensuring they have food and water, but will get down on her hands and knees to connect with them, play with them, and have fun with them. Emily took care of my two kitties for a little over two weeks, dropping in to see them in my home, maintaining their routines, doting on them, and sending me pictures and reports each day about their antics. One of my kitties, Li'l Lulu, can be very particular and be quite standoffish and ornery if I am not doing things EXACTLY the way she wants them done, WHEN she wants them done. She's especially that way with strangers. Yet Lil'l Lulu came right up to Emily the first time they met -- knowing immediately that Emily was a person she could trust -- and, while I was away, she let Emily place her on her lap to clean her ears, purring the whole time. Emily told me when we met that she became a pet sitter because she loves animals, likes spending time with them, and sees pet sitting as a career, as something she wants to do, not as a fill-in job to make ends meet or until something better comes along. Animals sense that ... and it showed through in the way she took care of my kitties ... just like they were her own.”

“Thanks for taking good care of my pups this weekend! I appreciate the attention to instructions and detail, and the photos. Your communication was prompt.”

“Josephine is excellent, very reliable and caring. She sent me detailed reports and photos every day, so I could relax knowing my dog and cat were in good hands while I was away.”

“Amy looked after our dog for the first time this weekend and she was absolutely wonderful. She asked great questions about meals, walks and our dog's routine and was very thorough in every detail. Amy kept us updated with photos and messages so we never wondered how things were going. Our usually shy dog warmed up to her immediately and I felt completely at ease being away knowing our dog was in such caring hands. We will absolutely work with her again!”

“Caroline was so helpful taking care of my dog over Thanksgiving! She sent lots of photos and made me feel very reassured that my dog was happy and comfortable. Thank you Caroline!”

“My cat Felix loved Antonia’s drop in visits. He seemed super happy and enjoyed the playtime. You always hate to leave your pets when traveling, but it’s nice to have such an amazing sitter be able to make sure your pet is well cared for.”

“I am so thankful for Rhiana! Updates and photos made me feel so much better about being away from Silva. He’s been meowing non-stop since I got home, telling me about his week with Rhiana. He clearly had a great time with his Rihana’s visits! Highly recommend Rhiana!”

“Karlee is a great sitter! She’s super friendly and responsive to visits. She’s done a great job at doing house visits for my puppy to tire him out and keep him engaged when I’m busy. Would definitely recommend!”

“Lettie was really great with my cat, Sushi, while we were out of town! I know she was well taken care of and got all the pets and loving while Lettie was visiting. Loved getting the updates and pictures of her too. Will definitely be reaching out again for pet sitting needs 😊”

“This was our 2nd time with Tessa and it was a great experience. She took great care of our 2 cats, our home, and communicated with us regularly. Will definitely book Tessa again!”

“Alexa is super caring and was wonderful with my cat Pippa. Her photos were great and I could tell that she spent a lot of quality time loving on her, which made me feel so much more relaxed while I was away.”

About: I have been dog and cat sitting/walking since I was 13 years old! I have experience with puppies, senior pups, cats/kittens, along with many different breeds! I’m staying in Charlottesville for school now, but at home I have 3 dogs and 2 cats. Safe to say I have experience with the craziness :) I’m currently a full time student at UVA, so I have a little bit of a varying schedule. On Wednesday’s I am available all day after 11! Tuesday and Thursday I am available all day after 12:15! My Mondays tend to a little more hectic with availability before 10:30 and from 12-3. Fridays and weekends are relatively free with enough of a notice! I can take care of your fur baby in whatever way needed in your home! Walks, medications, crates, fences, whatever they’re used to! My apartment doesn’t allow pets so I will exclusively care for them in your home!
