Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your pets, I will treat your home like it’s mine. More importantly, I’ll care for your pets as if they’re mine. I’ll make sure there are no escapees when I enter and exit your home, and I’ll make sure I follow any routines you may have for your pets. I have many repeat clients who can attest to my commitment to making sure both you and your pets have a positive experience with me.

Information Ed A. would like to know about your pet

We’ll be in communication before the booking to go over feeding schedules, any special requests, etc. Meet & Greets are a great way to cover all of that.

A typical day

I don’t just show up and feed your animals. We’ll hang out and we’ll play and we’ll have a lot of fun. I will treat your pets like I treat my pets.

Pet care experience

I've had dogs my entire life -- everything from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I currently have an awesome furry sidekick named Toby, and a lovable, slightly annoying cat named Rumi. We all moved from Dallas to Charlottesville in August so that I could attend UVA as a full-time student. Wahoowa!

Ed was wonderful! He checked in every day and left detailed notes and terrific pictures. He made sure I never worried about my kitties while I was gone. Highly recommend!

Ed has watched our dog for a little over a year since the first day we rescued him. He is nothing short of amazing and you would be lucky to snag a visit with him!
