Pet care experience

your care and your pet’s!

My background screams “I LOVE ANIMALS!”. I love my line of work: fur-covered scrubs and all! I currently live in Louisa and have worked as a vet assistant since 2024. I also worked at the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA for 2 years as a foster coordinator/adoptions counselor. I’m a UVA grad (2021, Go Hoos!). It’s important to me to build relationships with your pups AND YOU!

Dayton was wonderful! This was the 1st time we used a pet sitter service and were really pleased with how easy the process was. The photo updates Dayton sent reassured us that they were thriving under her care. Thank you Dayton for the help watching our fur babies while we vacationed. We will book again!

Long or early shifts? No problem, I’ve been there! I’m more than happy to look after your pet as late or as early as needed! I do work 4 10hr shifts a week (M, W, Th, and Fri). I do before/after work drop-ins, lunch time visits in Gordonsville area, and weekend care!

Safety, trust & environment

For regular visits, I am very happy to schedule a meet n greet with your dog! I focus on safety as a top priority! Because of this, I won’t walk your dog without a leash in an unfenced area, unless otherwise directed. For cats, I make sure their areas are sanitized and safe during every visit.

Pets

A typical day

I love to care for dogs both physically and mentally! We’ll take lots of walks, play park time as requested, “sniff time!” and playing with toys! I also would love to do doggie treat puzzles and back yard sprinklers with your dog! For cats, I’m happy to work on any enrichment that they enjoy best. I really love working with shy cats and helping them to come out of their shells!
