Dog Walking in Main-Starr Hill, Charlottesville, VA

“Terrific dog walker! Great energy and enthusiasm. Clearly loves dogs. Terrific communication and follow through.”

About: Because I grew up with 3 dogs and 4 cats, my friends and family know to reach out to me to feed, walk, and bathe their pets. I have also had to give medicine to some of the pets I've cared for, so giving your dog or cat pills won't be a problem. I am currently a Graduate student at UVA taking summer classes and want to care for some pets on the weekends or on Mondays when my schedule allows for it. Since I don't have pets here, I would love to give all my love and attention to yours! I know how much our pets mean to us, and I would make sure to follow any special instructions you have for your pets. I've been around dogs and cats since I was 5, so I can read pets' body language well. I always let the dog/cat approach me before initiating any petting because I know some pets are a little nervous around new people.

“James has been absolutely incredible! He is very flexible and has been willing to adjust walking times as needed and he is very communicative, always sending pictures and complete updates to let me know how his walks go. He is also amazing with my dog, mindful of when it’s too hot for sidewalk walks or if she has lots of energy and is up for a longer distance that day. We used James all summer and would highly recommend him!”

“Dakota connects well with our dog Patrick and is able to re-direct him when he wants to just turn around and come home. Our pup can be just one small ball of over excitement and exuberance and they handle that well. Dakota has been very reliable and always lets me know if he needs to adjust the time a bit.”

“Penny was easy to work with and took great care of our dogs. She was very responsive and took extra care with Evie. We’re grateful for her help and would wholeheartedly recommend her to others.”

“Rachel S. Was amazing with our dog! She was super. Communicative, professional and kept us updated multiple times a day. When we got home our dog was well fed, tired from so many great walks and happy and well taken care of. We highly recommend her.”

“Amy was a fantastic friend to our 10-year old Husky while we were out of town. She frequently went “above and beyond” to assure that She was calm and settled. Our reports were detailed and thoughtful. Additional, she was extremely responsive to us and our dog. We are grateful and recommend her as a thoughtful, caring pet partner!”

About: I’ve taken care of small to medium sized dogs, fish, and cats since I was 15 years old. I have also taken care of reptiles for my friend. I focus on making sure that pets are clean, fed, happy, and healthy. I grew up with several cats, a fish, and one dog over the years. I am free on weekends before 11am and after 4pm typically and weekdays after 6:30pm. I work 7am-6pm M-F at my full time job. I will always make time to get your pet the care it needs. When I come over to check on your pet I check food, water, litter, and any medications. I also make time for walks, pets, and play. I like to give your fur baby the attention they need. I clean up any messes I find when I pet sit so you don’t have to.

“Great communication, happy dog.”

Emily S.

“Christian has been such a blessing for us during the last month! She has been so accommodating with our schedule and the needs of our two pups, Finn and Otis. Christian is attentive, caring, and she goes above and beyond when she’s working with us and our dogs. She is a great communicator and is always punctual. We are so lucky to have found her!”

“Thank you so much for the last minute request! Merry Christmas!”

Ashley C.

“I had surgery & needed an evening dogwalker for my 75 lb hound. Tracy agreed to the 2 weeks of walks & weekend afternoon extra walks. She’s been fantastic! I highly recommend her. She’s on time and great with my dog who is an enthusiastic fellow.”

Barbara B.

“Thank you for being so gentle with Tornado he is so afraid of noises and cars, so unlike his brother. Your care and compassion with my little fellows means so much. Thank you!!”

“Doris is fabulous—responsive and professional. She’s only walked our beagle twice, but he’s already so excited to see her. And he comes back happily tired.”

Cathy H.

“Julie is a very kind and reliable dog sitter! She walked my dog Ivy every week this summer and boarded Ivy in her home for a weekend. She is very responsive to messages and provides detailed Rover card walk recaps. Ivy seems to love her time with her. Thank you, Julie!”

Carolyn W.

“Britney walked Veolia and Zack twice each week over the holidays and was always right on time and was very good with handling both dogs together each time, as Veiola has a single mindset on a walk to explore everything she can. We would highly recommend her.”

Doug C.

“Celia walked Pepper on short notice! Thanks again so much! Perfect length walk for the furry lil’ beast in this early March heatwave!!”

About: I have cared for dogs for a little over six years and have a lot of experience with them. I am a dog lover and know exactly how to keep them happy and healthy while their families are away! I am currently working part-time, so I will have more than enough time to care for your home, pups, and anything else you may need! I care for pets by ensuring that they are always given food and water, going outside frequently, and having someone to play with hem and pet them.

“Jessica was so wonderful with my dog and took incredible care of him while I was gone for the day.☺️ she sent many pictures and made my dog feel comfortable and loved.”

Caroline G.

“Yana is super! My pups stayed with their grammy while I was on vacation but she can't walk them. Yana worked around her own vacation so they could get their walks! She was very good with them and even sent pictures during the walks!”
