About: I have always grown up with both cats and dogs in my household and have been a lover of animals from a young age. I have house sat for most of my family members before I went to college and consistently watch my roommates cat, who has lived with us for four years, anytime she is out of town. I currently am a full time graduate student at UVA, just looking for a few jobs here and there between classes and another part time job! Most of my availability is in the morning and afternoons on the weekdays and afternoon and evenings on the weekends. I have been told on many occasions that I have a loving and kind demeanor which I will share with your pets. I would be honored to give your pets some love when you are out of town, working, or just busy!
“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.”
“This is the first time we hired Christian to walk our dog and it was a great experience. Christian was so kind with Remy and made sure that he was comfortable. Highly recommend!”
About: I adore animals and find joy in providing calm, caring support for pets of all kinds. I enjoy creating a peaceful environment where pets can feel safe and comfortable, and I feel extra comfy in meeting shy or reserved pets where they are, offering gentle introductions, following their routines, and giving them space to relax and settle. I love spending time with pets in their own homes, whether it’s having a bit of playtime, or sharing quiet moments and simply being present with them. I also enjoy peaceful walks in local spots like Foxhaven and Monticello and would be happy to bring your dog along to explore these beautiful places. If your pet prefers a calming stroll around the neighborhood, I’m just as content with that too. I’m comfortable with routine feeding, litter box care, and generally giving plenty of love and attention to help your pet feel at ease while you're away. Pet care naturally fits into my day-to-day life. Right now I work part-time, which means I have all of Tuesdays and Thursdays free, as well as plenty of time on weekends. These days are perfect for leisurely walks, cozy cuddle sessions, and any further attention your pet may need. Beginning June 1, summertime will bring even more flexibility to my schedule. This will allow me to offer more personalized care and be more present for your pet throughout the week, whether it’s a midday walk or just some extra quiet time together. I’m here to help your pet feel happy, comfortable, and cared for in a way that’s tailored to them. When caring for pets in my home, I do my best to create a calm, safe, comfy environment where they can feel relaxed and at ease. I make sure there’s plenty of space for your pet to feel like they’re part of the family, tailor activities to each pet’s personality, whether that means a cozy spot for rest or engaging play sessions, and of course ensure they have everything they need, from food and water to any special instructions you may have provided. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and keeping their space familiar. I’ll follow any specific instructions you provide for feeding, walks, and other care, ensuring that they feel at ease in their own environment. I take the time to connect with your pet in a calm, gentle manner, offering them the same love and attention they’re used to. It matters a lot to me that they feel safe, secure, and happy while you're away.
About: I have grown up surrounded by dogs and have always been responsible for walking, feeding, and playing with them. One unique experience I had includes caring for a paralyzed dachshund for 14 years. Thus, I feel comfortable looking after all kinds of dogs of all ages. I am full-time college student who is hoping to spend a couple hours a week taking a break from studying and school work to play with and walk dogs nearby. I will be caring for pets in my clients' homes for drop in visits and dog walking. I will always ensure that the dog is safe and comfortable with me in its home. I will follow all instructions given by the client and ensure that during walks I am extra cautious of the surrounding environment.
About: I'm a wife and mom and just adore taking care of pets for others. My home provides love and care in a very safe and comfortable environment. I welcome each pet like they my own, and provide them with all the love and care they will need while their owners are away. I have years of experience and have loved on dogs and cats of all ages. I pay attention to their needs as I understand each pet is different and special in their own way. I have cared for our own senior dog during her last years of life, and have helped watched puppies for friends and family. Hoping you will trust me with your precious pets.

About: I've been caring for pets for years and have always been surrounded by animals. I grew up with cats and black Labrador Retriever. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels, from puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and care. I’m also experienced in handling leash training, and recognizing behavioral cues to ensure pets feel safe and loved! I’m currently only offering weekends until I figure out my schedule for the summer since I’m working part time and doing research! I can do house-sitting/overnight stays, drop ins, and walking! I'm happy to go on long walks or to the park for some fun! For lower-energy dogs, I'm just as content to relax with them or enjoy some calm time outside.
“Maura is amazing!! She took care of my baby boxer while I have to run inside a UVA building to see my daughter science competition. She saved me! Then she returned later to stay with my baby Fify, so I can go back in for the award ceremony. Thank you Maura!!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them! From raising my own family pets to caring for dogs of all ages, whether it’s energetic puppies just weeks old or gentle seniors needing extra love. I bring years of experience and genuine care to every dog I meet. Over the past 8 years, I’ve had the joy of watching dogs for friends, neighbors, and family, and I treat every pup like they’re my own. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and it brings me so much happiness to care for them and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m currently in grad school at UVA with classes only two days a week, and even then, they’re never longer than a few hours at a time. This means I’m available every day and can easily build pet care into my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or overnight stays, I have the flexibility to provide consistent and attentive care. I care for pets by giving them lots of attention, love, and activity. Whether I’m in my home or the client’s, I make sure pets get plenty of time to play, go on walks, or just hang out and relax depending on what they need. I try to stick to their normal routine as much as possible, like feeding times and bathroom breaks, and I always make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Staying active with them through walks, fetch, or just playing around, is one of the main ways I show care and build trust.
About: I have had pets in my house my whole life - dogs, cats, chickens, horses, etc. I am very comfortable with all animals and I LOVE spending time with them. My family and friends have trusted me to take care of their animals, and I am always up for the task! I am petsitting on Rover while attending medical school at UVA. I have class 8-12 M-F, but my classes are often recorded and are only sometimes required. I do have required class 1-5pm on Thursdays. I would love to hang out with your pets and do some studying during down time :) I will not be taking your pets to my home, but I am happy to take care of them in their own! My biggest priority is keeping your animals safe and comfortable, which I feel is best accomplished in the place they call home.

bailey l.Star Sitter
“Bailey is an extremely responsible caregiver for animals. Being my roommate for nearly 5 years now, she has helped me take care of my own cat when I go out of town, and treats her as her own even when I am there! When it comes to caring for animals, Bailey does much more than the bare minimum of ensuring safety and food. While these are essential, Bailey understands that playing and interacting with animals is equally important. In other words, your pets will not only be taken care of, but they will also have fun playing, going on walks, and interacting. I would highly recommend Bailey to anyone looking for someone to watch their animals!”

Davila G.
“Dávi has taken care of our two cats several times through the years and we highly recommend her! Dávi is an excellent and loving caretaker, super responsive (get excited for lots of cute pictures!) and extremely dependable. We have a rescue cat that is a little feral and has great difficulty trusting people other than her owners - Dávi earned her trust and affection in just a couple of days, which speaks to her special ability to connect with pets in an encouraging and loving manner. Whenever we travel and Dávi takes care of our little rascals, we find them happy, relaxed and content upon our return - and knowing Dávi is checking in on the cats always gives us peace of mind so we can really enjoy our travels. If you want the best pet sitter, go with Dávi!”
Sophia A.
“Sophie is a trustworthy, dedicated, and kind dog walker. She watched my miniature dachshund puppy for a week while I was out of town and she sent me plenty of photos and videos of her cuddles, belly scratches, and playtimes. My dog sometimes doesn’t like to walk, but Sophie still took her outside and let her enjoy the breeze and even carried her for a little walk outside! She goes above and beyond, treating every dog as if he or she were her own. I recommend Sophie to everyone!”
