loving animals of all kinds!
Pet care experience
I’m an energetic UVa student who is happiest surrounded by our four-legged friends! I’ve had birds and cats throughout my life, and back home in Fredericksburg I‘m my neighborhood pet-sitter, so I know and love my neighbors’ pets like they’re my own. I currently have no pets so my house and my time are wide open for yours! If your pet comes to stay with me, and he likes running around outside, I can take him to my polo team’s horse farm where we can run and play to our heart’s content! I can only house dogs (my roommate is allergic to cats), but I’m more than willing to come to you for any pet’s needs. I look forward to working with you and your best friend!
Reviews
A positive bright young lady who has a passionate, caring nature. As a Girl Scout life time member, she lives by the Girl Scout Promise and Law. She is a UVA student with CPR/First Aid training and experienced in working with fish, cats, dogs, birds and horses. Calista is flexible and very reliable with a heart of gold. Highly recommended.
Calista is a fabulous dog sitter and provides loving, compassionate, thoughtful and responsible care of any pet entrusted to her for a day, a week, a month or any length of time. Calista has taken care of neighborhood and close university friends' dogs and cats for the past 10+ years when family friends or schoolmates have been out of town for days or multiple weeks at a time. Calista routinely pet sits for repeat customers who rave about her engaged, loving and compassionate care in family neighborhoods and close-knit circles where a hard-earned, good reputation translates into delighted customers, both new and recurring. Calista doesn't just simply attend to the details of taking responsible care of your pet and making sure their basic needs are met. Calista exceeds expectations for pet care by providing a stimulating environment of playfulness, various toy interactivity, safe indoor / outdoor activity and pet engagement that demonstrates a genuine loving, compassionate and active experience for the pets under her care. Calista has also been willing to take pets into her own environment as part of the care giving experience, sharing her own personal time, space and stimulating activities to ensure the pet receives the best care possible. Calista comes from a family farm background, has had a life-long love of pretty much any animal you can imagine and is considering a career in veterinary medicine, so her interests and qualifications are impeccably suited to being a responsible and loving dog care provider.

Information Calista R. would like to know about your pet
Would love to know favorite foods or games they have - or really anything that would make the intitial “getting to know you” phase easier for the pup!
A typical day
My favorite place to take dogs is the Virginia Polo Center, a horse farm with acres and acres of open space and a massive field perfect for as many games of fetch as your dog desires! My teammates bring their (very friendly) pups too, so there’s lots of new friends to meet. If your dog likes long walks around grounds, we’ll have a great time doing that too!
