Information Dayton P. would like to know about your pet

1. Does your dog get along with other dogs? 2. Are car rides okay? 3. Are dog parks okay? 4. Are you able to bring certain things with you as needed (food, puppy pads, crate)?

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!

your care and your pet’s!

Pet care experience

My background screams “I LOVE ANIMALS!”, for sure. I love my line of work! I worked at the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA for almost 2 years so I have a wide range of knowledge about your pet’s potential behavioral or medical needs. Now that I’ve moved to Louisa, I am beginning my journey as a vet assistant. I enjoy working with both pets and their parents alike. My formal education is in nursing (for humans!!!), and I graduated from UVA in 2021. Even though untraditional, my education background has definitely helped move me to the fun, gratifying career that I have now. I’m looking forward to working with you and your pet to give them great care!

Dayton was very reliable and did exactly what we asked her to do while we were away. We would definitely use her again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
