1. Elizabeth S.

“Elizabeth is amazing with sunny, our Pomeranian. She gets him up and out of bed for his morning walk, and he can be grumpy to get up in the mornings. He likes her and doesn't bark as much as when other people come through the door. She's attentive to detail and so helpful. I fractured my ankle and she's helped sunny get in the morning walks he needs. Thank you so much!”


2. Rebecca Z.

“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful. We feel so lucky to have found her to help us in a bind. She went above and beyond in making sure our pup got all of her afternoon energy out. I felt so comfortable knowing she would coming during the day and confident in knowing our pup would be in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!!”


3. Emil F.

“I'm very thankful to have found Emil. I work in retail and consequently work almost every weekend. Emil walks my little chihuahua for me every Saturday and Sunday. He's very reliable and I never worry that he won't be able to make it. He also responds to any requests or questions very quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend Emil if you need someone to help care for your pups!”


4. Sloan K.

“Sloan was fantastic with my energetic pup! She was on time and took her on a much needed walk around the neighborhood. She followed my requests perfectly and I felt confident my fur baby was in trustworthy hands.”


5. James B.


“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.”


6. Christian A.

“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!”


7. Laura L.

8. Nathan L.

“Nathan was a pleasure to work with. Very responsive and kind! I know he takes good care of my girl. I will definitely be rebooking Nathan in the future!”


9. Lauren G.

“Lauren is so lovely! She came over before my dog Sulley’s walk to meet him and figure out his routine. She had excellent communication throughout and was wise to not walk him too much/too far in the heat. Definitely would book again!!”


10. Julia G.

“Could not recommend Julia enough. I am truly bummed to be moving out of the Charlottesville area. She is responsive, punctual, kind and I can tell she cares for my pup as her own. She has helped me out countless times with last minute requests and gives me peace of mind that Winston is good hands while I am at work.”


11. Doris S.

“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.”


12. Jen D.

“Highly recommend! She's a dedicated dog walker and great with Nala. She took Nala down to monticello trail and Nala absolutely loves it. She was tired the whole afternoon.”


13. Kirtly R.

About: I’ve cared for dogs with the energy of a horse and horses with the personality of a dog! Whether your dog loves to run for miles or prefers a more relaxed pace, I’m equipped to meet their needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I provide personalized care to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. You can count on me to give your four-legged friend the attention they deserve! As a student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend the day with your pup! Whether your dog needs a run to burn off energy or a leisurely walk, I’m happy to accommodate their preferences. I’ll make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. You can trust that your pet will be well taken care of, no matter what their energy level is! When I care for your pet in your home, I prioritize their comfort, security, and routine. I will follow any specific instructions you’ve provided, from feeding schedules to playtime preferences, ensuring that their environment remains consistent while you’re away. I’ll make sure they have plenty of attention, whether that’s through walks, playtime, or simply being there for cuddles. I’ll also take care of basic tasks around the house like bringing in mail, adjusting lights, or making sure everything looks as it should, so you can feel confident knowing your pet and home are in good hands. Your pet will be treated with love and respect, just as I would with my own!


15. Samantha R.

“Samantha was great with my dog Maddie! She was very professional and showed up on time. She was good at communicating with me about Maddie and included multiple pictures. She followed my specific instructions as well and she asked questions. I know my dog is well taken care of with her and I would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter! :)”


16. Robert H.

“Robert was on time and gave my dog lots of care and attention while I was out of town for a couple days. He was responsive to messages, asked good questions, and sent photos daily.”


17. bailey l.
“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!”

19. Skyla B.

“Skyla is awesome and experienced with high needs dogs. She was able to immediately build rapport with our high energy, reactive Shiba and they had a great first walk! I highly recommend her.”


20. Scott S.

“Scott was so helpful for a last minute booking to exercise my dog when I became injured. He's very attentive to my pup's needs and made sure she was happily tired after each walk! I look forward to booking his services again.”
