Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Locust Grove, Charlottesville, VA

“Charlie can be an extra handful being the tiny grumpy old man that he is but Caroline handled him with ease. He really liked her and she sent fantastic updates and pictures and I would trust her with him anytime.”

“Emily is the BEST! This was my first time using Rover and Emily popped up first. Which I’m so happy I clicked on her. She has helped me learn more about my Lucy. I can’t wait to book again!”

“Ed took care of our cat for a little over 3 weeks and was absolutely wonderful. He gave great update everyday and beautiful pictures. He also gave our cat eye drops twice a day as she was sick which was great. Would recommend Ed to anyone and will rebook his services next time with 100% trust. Highly recommend, thank you Ed”

“Rhiana did a wonderful job. She was able to help me last minute, too, which was a big help. I would definitely book with her again; she’s very nice and friendly.”

Elizabeth G.

“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”

Jane Q.

“Danielle is incredible. In a last minute pinch she helped care for my animals. She came over the day of my request just to meet them and every single one of them, including my anxiety riddled shiba rescue took to her immediately. She is intelligent, compassionate, and did an absolutely incredible job. Highly recommend.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a home full of dogs, cats, birds, ferrets... basically ever animal you can imagine. I’m flexible, very experienced, and love staying active—I’m happy to run, hike, play, or just hang out with your pet, whatever they need! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my own pets every day, so feeding, walking, and playtime are built into my schedule. I have free mornings during the week and weekends. I can be flexible to fit your pet’s needs. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family. I make sure they are safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their usual routine as closely as possible. From feeding and long walks to cuddles, I give each pet the attention and care they need.

“Alexa did a great job, as always. Took great care of my cat (and my space!) while I was gone. Grateful for her communication and flexibility.”

“Courtney is fantastic with cats! She has cared for my cats 3 times, and each time I returned home, the cats seem happy and calm, and the house looked great. Would recommend her to anyone who needs a good cat caretaker.”

Nancy S.

“I was very lucky to have found Robert when I did. He was a wonderful sitter and even my little spicy Miku seem to warm to him. She can be afraid of strangers, yet Robert was gentle and patient. Could not have asked for a better sitter.”

Andi C.

“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.

“Rachael did a great job stepping in on short notice for our normal sitter. She was flexible and attentive and kept us well informed on how things were going with our cat while we were out of town.”

Ryan B.

“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 😊”

Katherine S.

“Louisa was very friendly from the beginning and understood our needs for our little Simba. She maintained communication with me at every visit, send pics and videos. Simba was well taken care of.”

About: With over 8 years of professional pet-sitting experience and a lifetime—50 years—of caring for my own dogs and cats, I bring reliability, compassion, and deep understanding to every animal I look after. I treat each pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, medication, or simply keeping your pet’s routine consistent, you can trust that they’ll be in capable and caring hands. After retiring from a 25-year career with IBM, I’ve combined my love of animals and the outdoors into something I truly enjoy — pet sitting, dog walking, and pet transport. With 8 years of professional pet care experience and over 50 years of personal experience with dogs and cats, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’m dependable, punctual, and treat every animal as if they were my own. When I’m not caring for pets, you’ll find me out hiking and exploring nature. I primarily care for pets in their home, as I have a cat of my own who is particular about her space. I also offer dog walking, feeding, one on one play. I provide pet transport and have a dependable, safe car for any travel needs. I’m reliable, punctual, and treat every animal as if they were my own.

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!

“Natalie took great care of Milo! Natalie is detail-oriented and you can tell she truly cares about the comfort of your baby. Will definitely be booking in the future!!”

Amanda F.

“Yana was excellent! Always on time! Took so many photos and even cleaned the litter boxes (didn’t even ask!). Definitely going to rebook Yana!”

Cody B.

“Great first drop-in experience. Caroline was very flexible with some last minute travel changes, and I got lots of updates and pictures while I was gone.”

Jeremy K.

“Megan has been amazing. My cats connected with her very well. Even my older cat who is standoffish with strangers sat on her lap. She came to my rescue when I needed her for another day and I appreciate her so much!”
