About: I’ve taken care of family pets since I was a child so I have years experience dealing with a variety of different animals including cats dogs and reptiles. I would love to help keep your up companion’s routine whenever you cannot. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to help you take care of your fur babies! I am available most weekends. I do not have a fenced in yard, but walks are frequent. My dog has a very mild temperament and would love to help tire out your pup if they like making new friends.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I can remember. I'd walk them and make sure they got their food. I'd comb them and give them great grooming sessions. I'll give your pup the attention they need! I currently work at UVA caring for animals. My job is very flexible and I will have no trouble scheduling in care for your pets. In my home my rabbit is free roam. She has no restrictions. She is also litter trained. I'll pay close attention to the instruction you leave for your pet. I understand how important it is to keep them on their regular routine/ schedule.

“Good communication, on time. I will rehire. Thanks, Haley.”


“Lindy was a life-saver caring for our elder dog. She walked Maggie in the rain, double checked on other coverage, and sent photos of each visit. She is a very responsible caregiver and I could tell that Maggie felt very comfortable with her. I had several people checking in on Maggie due to scheduling conflicts and Lindy was supposed to be a "fill in" for us. I totally messed up the schedule and Lindy graciously covered my gaps. She even left me a "schedule template" I can use next time so I don't make errors. Next time I need someone to care for Maggie, I'll hire Lindy for the entire week if she's available. Highly recommended!”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life, whether it’s watching dogs for neighbors or my own pets. I love animals and can provide a ton of care and attention for your pet :) I currently have a free schedule so I can make any time or day work for me. I can do overnights with about a 12 hour notice. I can care for your pet however you say, weather you need your pet outside for most of the day or inside in the a.c. I can accommodate for any needs.

“Winnie loves her walks with Amanda! Amanda has been wonderful, great communication and always shares cute pictures. She’s been able to adjust schedule as needed. Highly recommend!”


About: I grew up with big dogs and have been around them my whole life. I’ve also had two cats for the past four years, so I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs. I work full-time remotely, which gives me a lot of flexibility during the day. I’m able to take breaks to walk dogs, feed pets, or just spend time with them, so they get plenty of attention and care! At home, I make sure my cats have a clean litter box, fresh water, and a consistent feeding routine. I spend time playing with them daily and keep an eye on their behavior and health. When I’m caring for pets in someone else’s home, I follow the same level of care and make sure to closely follow the owner's instructions. I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away!

“Terrific person all around. She put my doggo with anxiety at ease.”


About: I’ve loved animals since before I could walk and I’ve spent a lifetime caring for them. Having worked for the CASPCA I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge about what it means for our pets to truly thrive and what they need to lead happy healthy lives. Our family treats your pet like they’re our own and make him/her feel right at home. They will spend their days with tons of enrichment activities; daily walks, tons of play time and endless snuggles if they’ll let me and so much more. This is my passion, loving animals and helping people. What more could you ask for? I would absolutely love a chance to chat with you and answer any questions you have. I’m a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to care for your pets during the day/at night just as you would if you were home! I can adjust our schedule to fit your pets needs so they feel right at home and stay on routine. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for your furry friend to play and two active pups who love a play date with friends. All interactions with your pets and ours will be closely monitored to ensure everyone’s safety. I will get information from you about your preferences and schedule for your pet so I can mirror that while they are staying in our home. I will do everything possible to make your pet happy and comfortable while you are away!

“Great meet and greet with my dog! Very friendly and experienced with dogs. My dog took to her immediately.”

About: Hello, I’m Dani, and I love all animals! I have adopted multiple pets of my own from SPCAs. I personally have owned lots of dogs and cats, a few fish, a hedgehog, a turtle, and hamsters. I believe that every animal deserves lots of love and a caring, warm home! I promise to always give my best to your fur (or non-fur) babies and keep them in good hands while you’re away. It’s important for you and your pet to be comfortable with who is taking care of them. I’m comfortable with all ages and sizes of dogs! I’m pretty strong for a woman and have been able to handle all breeds. I am available on the weekends and weekdays. Mornings and evenings before and after work! I can be flexible and work around both of our schedules to see what fits for us both. I work at a spa and a restaurant so my shifts at both places vary greatly. Weekends are usually a 9am-5pm, but weekday shifts are no longer than 6 hours. Pets are always in the best care with me. My own pets even sleep with me and I love pet cuddles! I can be flexible to do whatever you need me to do! I can feed, water, walk, play, and bathe your dog! Pets are my friends! I often times catch myself having full on conversations with them 🤣

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 14, living with them longer. I also currently live on a farm and have good hands when it comes to working with animals! I’m a college student, home for holidays, and sometimes weekends! I have an open schedule most holidays and can come home over a weekend if needed! A safe, leash-controlled environment ensures pets enjoy outdoor activities responsibly, with supervised play, regular walks, and plenty of attention, prioritizing their comfort, health, and safety.

About: I grew up surrounded by all sizes of dogs since I was 2. I have had 2 dogs of my own, a border collie and collie/poodle mix, as well as 1 cat! I love all animals and would love nothing more than to spend all my free time with them! I have a very flexible work schedule and am able to work from home a couple of days a week! I will have a lot of time to fit your needs into my schedule! I understand what it is like to let strangers into your home to take care of your pets and will do everything I can to make your and your friend feel comfortable. I love to take long walks, throw balls for hours, go for runs and spend time cuddling with tour furry friends. I would be happy to take care of your pet along or if you would like a friend to bring my dog along as well!

About: I’ve had furry companions since the day I was born and couldn’t imagine life without them now. I’ve had cats, dogs amongst many other species of animals. I have nothing but fun and love to offer your furry friends in their very own home! Giving animals love and attention is my passion and brings me enormous joy! I am super reliable, flexible and trustworthy. I am super excited to start this new adventure with Rover. Have comfort in knowing your pets are in the best hands possible. I have many referrals if you need them. I am grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to serve you and your furry family! Thank you so much for considering me to care for your precious family members. I currently am not working outside of the home therefore I am typically available to care for your fur families needs at any given time. I have 4 kitties who are rescues and are not used to having dogs around and I wouldn’t want to cause anymore stress or trauma to my precious furry family.

About: My whole life I have grown up owning multiple dogs. Right now I have three dogs at home, two beagles and a king charles cavalier spaniel. I am a full time pet lover and treat every animal with the same kindness and respect. I also have training experience so dogs of any and all ages would not be a problem for me! I also work part time at Lemaire at the Jefferson Hotel in the evenings. However, my schedule is still very flexible, especially during the day, so that i can accommodate your animal’s needs. I am available Monday-Sunday and some holidays. I am currently a part time employee at Lemaire at the Jefferson Hotel. I am typically free all day on Monday’s and Tuesday’s. Wednesday-Sunday I am available until 3pm and after 10pm. I always make sure windows and doors are shut in the house at all times especially before leaving the house. I also never take an animal off leash unless there is a fenced in area. Before leaving the house I always check to make sure there is nothing potentially dangerous hanging around that could be gotten into.

About: If you're like me, your pets have become family members. When you can't be home for them, whether because of work, vacation or other obligations, you want them taken care of with the same love and attention you give them. That's exactly what I do. Because I love pets! Woof N Walk offers a multitude of services for a variety of pets. I can also handle various home services which, by making it appear that your house is occupied, can be a crime deterrent. Choose the schedule and services you want, and I'll do the rest. Pet services include: Feeding Walks: 30 or 45 minute Brushing Administration of medicine Litter box cleaning Transportation to vet or groomer Overnight and extended stays Home services include: Watering plants Bringing in newspapers/mail Turning on/alternating lights Opening/closing blinds Carrying trash in/out I am a mature, experienced pet care professional, I make taking care of your pet a personal priority, providing the best care your fur babies deserve.

“Terrific person all around. She put my doggo with anxiety at ease.”


Tamara T.
“Tamara is great with animals. Most people can be skiddish around new furry friends, especially as they size of animal gets bigger. Not her, she treats all animals with respect and as a result they return the favor. I've personally witnessed an owner accidently have their dog escape the house, run towards Tamara and within seconds she was able to difuse the situation and command the dog to go home, all with verbal reinforcement. She knows what she is doing and she will do exactly what you need plus some. Professional, courteous, and a good human being is how I would describe her.”


Danielle C.

“Great meet and greet with my dog! Very friendly and experienced with dogs. My dog took to her immediately.”


Taylor L.
“Taylor is the best! She is attentive, punctual, and reliable! She is so loving with the pup! Pongo gets so excited to see her (sometimes more than when he sees me) and she goes above and beyond! Long walks, lots of fetch, and belly rubs. You can tell she enjoys her job and makes great connections with the dogs. She is definitely my number one go to person! Your dog will be in amazing care with Taylor!”

She doesn’t just feed them and walk for potty breaks, she truly engages with the dogs by petting and playing with them. I can count on Tori to make sure my furbabies are well cared for when I’m away from home.”

Kim O.
“Kim mist her calling in life. It should have been working and caring for animals. I have never met someone like her. She saves birds, feeds squirrels and takes time to make sure animals are taken care of. She needs to be with animals and they would be lucky to be have someone as good as her working with them.”


Ella K.
“Ella has grown up around dogs her whole life, having 4 at one point. She pet (and house) sits for my now 3 when I go on trips. One of my dogs has high anxiety and takes a daily prescription med. She is responsible, reliable, and loving towards all animals. Pets are a great judge of character, and I’ve never seen an animal or pet shy away from her. The summer after high school she provided pet (and house) sitting services to many of my co-workers, she was booked for MONTHS, and highly sought after. Our pets are members of our families; I trust and highly recommend her to treat yours as if they’re a part of her family ♥️”
