Pet Sitting Little High

“My dog had such a great time with Bertie while I was on vacation, she probably didn’t even notice I was gone. Seeing the pictures of their day together made me happy and I will rebook in the future!”

“Ed was fantastic! Super communicative and easy to chat with! While our kitten was a ghost for him most the time (as expected) he did assist with feeding our fish and brought in a small package! Super great experience with Ed! We will be sure to book him in the future! Maybe then our kitten will interact more with him!”

“Christopher is everything you could want in a pet sitter! He doted on my dogs and kept them safe and happy. He was conscientious and reliable, and took great care of the house and all dog-related messes. Also great with communication and flexibility. I would happily work with him again!”

Sheila W.

“Excellent care. You can tell she really cares about animals based on how she treats them. Recommended!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life and started dog-sitting for my neighbors at 9 years old. I love all animals, but dogs have a very special place in my heart. I've worked with dogs of all ages, and over the summer, I cared for a puppy full-time for the family I nanny for. I am very comfortable with big dogs and have lots of experience with large breeds, including Corsos and English Mastiffs. I hope I can make your time away from your pets a little bit easier and less stressful! I am a full-time student at the University of Virginia (with a car), so I have classes during the weekdays; however, I do have many breaks and a few days each week without classes, so I have a lot of room for coming by to check in and help out in any way I can. What I do to keep the animals and myself safe really depends on the situation. When I walk, I always carry pepper spray, and I have collars with lights on them in case I am ever walking a dog in low visibility. The important thing to me is making sure I follow any specific requests from the owners!

“Julia was amazing. She helped me adjust the schedule to what I needed was always prompted on time and excellent communicator. The puppies loved her.!”

“Victoria is a fantastic cat sitter! She is super nice, very attentive, and did an amazing job caring for my cat over the last few days. She also spent lots of time playing with her. My cat absolutely loved her. Highly recommended!”

“Basil was awesome with our two kitties! Felt very good that our cats were well cared for. Gave medicine to one of our cats. Responsive and helpful and even stopped by to meet them for the first time. Highly recommend Basil.”

Lloyd R.

“Felt like both our cat and house were in good hands. Got lots of pictures and updates and our kitty looked happy and comfortable. Wouldn’t hesitate to have Keira cat sit again!”

Liz C.

“Nathan was so helpful! He was willing to fit me in last minute. He replied quickly to messages and even called from the house to make sure he took care of everything I needed.”

Susan M.

“Just what we needed thank you!!”

“We're very happy Rosey was able to look after our cat when we were away. He's quite shy but he liked Rosey!”

About: I’ve always had animals in my younger life from cats to dogs, and even though I only have a cat I continue to love dogs. My current housing situation allows me to share dog sitting and caring of his clients dogs (ages 9 months to 14 years) for the last ten years. Since then I have asked my neighbors for tending to the needs of their dogs be it from a 5 mile walk on and off leash to a 100 yard potty break in addition to giving medications. I’m currently working part time three days a week and an occasional Saturday, so I have the time to care and interact for your furry friend. I live in a neighborhood with easy access to the Rivanna trails and a road trip access to a farm with woods in Earlysville for running in fields. I also have a very tolerant cat who actually enjoys dogs staying with me because she’s learned that visiting dogs often get a treat she’s earned one too. My house has hardwood floors on the first floor throughout access to the carpeted lower level is through a door. The dog would have free range of the house while we were at home and unless he/she is accustomed to be crated.

“Mitch is hands down the best cat sitter we’ve ever had. He’s one of those rare people who actually responds quickly, keeps you updated without you having to ask, and genuinely likes hanging out with your cats. We got tons of photos while we were away, and you could tell our cats were relaxed and happy with him. He even watered our plants, which we never asked him to do, but it was such a thoughtful touch to come home to everything alive and thriving. If you need someone you can trust with your cats (and apparently your plants too), Mitch is your guy.”

About: I've had a dog since I was ten, and today three cats and a dog share my home right alongside me. Living with four animals under one roof means I know their routines, their moods, and their quirks by heart, and I understand exactly how much it matters to trust the right person with something that personal. That same instinct shows up in how I work. I'm a checklist person by nature: feeding times, routines, and quirks followed exactly as given, and you'll get daily photos and videos so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I'm a college student with mostly online classes, so my schedule bends around your pet instead of the other way around. I'm free for house sitting stays and drop in visits any day of the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I confirm bookings a few days ahead so you know I'm locked in well before you leave. No shift to clock into, no class to rush home for, just consistent, dependable time for whatever your pet actually needs. 👉I offer house sitting and drop in visits, which means your pet never has to leave home, no new house, no new animals, nothing unfamiliar on top of you already being away. I stick to their existing feeding, walk, and routine schedule exactly as you've set it, and keep the house locked up and lived in while you're gone. I come to your pet's world instead of asking your pet to adjust to mine, giving them my full, undivided attention until you're back😊. Services Defined: House sitting is an overnight stay: I arrive at 6pm and leave at 7am. Need daytime care? Please book drop ins. If you need me at your home for a longer stretch during the day, message me first and I’ll quote it separately. Drop ins: Drop ins are 30 minute visits during the day, with 60 minutes available. I take care of feeding, fresh water, litter, and playtime, and send you an update after every visit. Need something longer? Message me and I’ll quote it.

“LaTrice was right on time for our meet & greet, and sent me video of my kitty while I was gone. My cat is not very affectionate, however in the video she was rolling around on the floor while LaTrice was playing with her. Five Star Kitty Care!”

About: I've owned and taken care of cats and dogs for a very long time and can't wait to take care of your babies too! I was a veterinary assistant for 5 years in both small and large animal clinics and am very comfortable taking care of all animals. I also grew up riding horses and handling large animals. I'm happy to do farm animal or reptile drop in visits as well. Let me know of any special instructions for your fur babies and we will work it out! I am a graduate student at UVA so I am typically working during the day but can do drop in visits morning/afternoon and walks at those times as well. I want to know what your routine is and I will do my best to follow it to the letter so that your pet is comfortable and gets the most out of our time together.

“Kyle & Meagan are great! I had to book last minute while out of the country and they made me feel very at ease and comfortable about the care our pets were receiving ;) They’re very communicative, responsive, and thorough. I would 💯 recommend them and will book again.”

“Jamie was absolutely amazing with my old girl! She was incredibly flexible with my crazy schedule, and was very communicative with me. As for my pup, she absolutely adored the time she had with Jamie. All of her rover cards came back with huge smiles her face. Big dogs (like mt pitbull mix) can often be dismissed by people’s fear of them, my Jamie was happy to dive right in. 10/10 recommend.”

About: I have a dog of my own. I will make sure yours is well taken care of. I am passionate about animals and will do what it takes to meet their needs. I am currently unemployed so I will have plenty of free time to care for your pups. I am available anytime and am pretty flexible. I take my dog on walks. I feed her twice a day and take her out 4 times a day. I am definitely knowledgeable when it comes to dogs.
