Who let the dogs out?!?!
Pet care experience
One of my first jobs was neighborhood dog walking and I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life! I am the go-to dogsitter in my family and I’m really excited to start doing this in my community here in Charlottesville. I love animals and being active so it’s truly a perfect job for me.
Reviews
Summer was amazing and followed all instructions with my pup!! Would definitely book her again in the future!!!
Summer took fantastic care of my dog while I was out of town. My dog is very shy around new people, but she did great with Summer. I definitely recommend her as a sitter.
Summer was amazing! My pup was happy and well cared for and the house was spotless.
Summer was an excellent pet sitter for us! She was very loving toward our pets and even helped us out in a pinch when we ran out of cat food! I highly recommend her when you are looking for some pet love and help!

Safety, trust & environment
I am not available to board or dog sit in my own home currently, however, I am available to house sit at clients own homes (whether it be their RV/hotel). Since I can’t have animals at my house, often times I will meet up with clients at their home or a local dog friendly park! There it is important for me and the homeowners to discuss routines and safety aspects for their pets. During home visits (day/overnight), doggy day care, and any type of boarding when it is available, I welcome crated pets and non crated pets and please feel free to provide any toys, treats or any items your babies are accustomed to! When my boarding services are available, I am happy to have both dogs that like to sleep in the bed with me or those who like their own safe space in a crate. For in-house care and walks, water is always available and I am comfortable with having food out at your pets disposal or on a scheduled basis. Those things aside, I love animals and my main constant will always be my kindness and respect I have for you and your pets. Having my own dogs growing up, they are truly like family members and I understand the hesitancy to let just anyone watch your dog. My goal and hopes are to ease those concerns with all my clients on Rover and really treasure the time I have with your dogs while you’re away!
Home
Information Summer S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any limitations to exercise, food allergies or sensitivities, and even anxieties toward certain environments like being around small children, other dogs, etc. I’m here to provide a fun and relaxing time for your pets so please let me know how to best accommodate them.
A typical day
Living in Charlottesville there are loads of places to walk and play with your pups! Short, medium, and long hikes in abundance and several cool, shady, and grassy parks just in town. Ask me some of my favorites that I think your dog would enjoy :)
