Ivy Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve been a pet owner my entire life. I know how wonderful and important it is to find a pet sitter you can get to know and trust will take care of your fur babies while you’re away. I’m also a small business owner in Cville, with a fairly flexible schedule which gives me the time and opportunity to care for animals, which is something I truly love. If you’re looking for a mature person to take care of your critters while you’re away, or house sit for you, please message me. I live in the Ivy area of Albemarle Co. I offer house sitting in Ivy only.

Tara was fantastic! My pup got to enjoy her lovely backyard and got plenty of walks and love! She gave me daily updates and responded quickly. I will definitely be booking with her again for any future travel

Tara was absolutely wonderful! She was patient, loving, and understanding with our elderly dog. She was great with daily updates. Nothing could’ve been worse better! We hope she will have us back ❤️

Dogs and Cats are welcome for Boarding. I only accept one client at a time to board. Your pet will have full use of my home. Welcome to go in every room, no restrictions. They will always be treated with tons of love and snuggles from me. I really enjoy having them with me.

I work 5 days a week in my store, so your pet will be left in my home during these hours. I only accept dogs that are completely house broken, and get along well with cats. I have one senior cat at home. Your dog must also be comfortable and used to spending up to 8 hours alone inside. If you choose to have me house sit, I will come to your house after work.
