Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pet's Best Friend!
Hello! With over 15 years of hands-on experience in pet sitting, I'm not only well-versed in providing love and care to animals of all kinds but also skilled in administering medications when needed. Whether it's pills, injections, or specialized treatments, your pet's health and well-being are my top priorities. As a longtime resident of the Charlottesville area, I bring a deep knowledge of the best places to walk dogs. From scenic trails to picturesque parks, I know just the spots to give your furry friend the perfect outdoor adventure. Trust me to ensure your furry, feathered, or scaly friend receives the expert care they deserve, including any necessary medical attention, all delivered with patience, compassion, and a gentle touch.

Safety, trust & environment
I personally have a fenced in yard for dogs to play in, and a dog and cat of my own who love other animals! My cat can be a little shy at first, but warms up quickly. We have a few options for walking near my home, from sidewalk neighborhood walks, to trails and parks nearby. However, I am a big believer that pets will usually feel most comfortable in their own homes! I am willing and able to travel to meet your animal's needs. I can visit up to three times daily for walks, playing, feedings, and medication administration. Regardless of service, I request a little information from you: your pets personality details, feeding times, bathroom habits and needs, physical activity requirements, and vet information (which we will hopefully not need!).
Ratings and reviews
Mary A. cancelled a booking 4 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Mary was great! Reliable and prompt. Took our dog for brisk 30 min walks on really cold & windy days. Gave specific reports after each walk and plenty of notice of any schedule changes. Plan to keep her as a contact for future needs!
I had such great peace of mind having Mary come to take care of my cats. She sent me photos at each visit and gave great descriptions of what the cats were up to 😊
Mary is seriously the best! Communicative, consistent, accountable, responsible. She’s amazing with my Shepard mix who has a long list of quirks. I never have to wonder if my dog is being well taken care of, I trust her constantly. Thank you for everything, Mary!!
Mary is the best dog walker! I’m thankful to have found someone who really cares about my dog and gives her exactly what she needs. Great communicator. Reliable. Trustworthy. She really is the best.
Mary took wonderful care of our elderly cat Pumpkin! She is great about communicating updates or concerns and that really let me relax and enjoy my trip knowing my fuzzy guy was in good hands at home!
