Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Orangedale-Prospect Ave, Charlottesville, VA

“Amanda did a great job taking care of our Border Terrier, Kimi, for five days for the first time. She dropped in several times a day to feed, walk, and play with Kimi. We got pictures from each visit for peace of mind. We would hire Amanda again.”

“Kim was fantastic! She was so sweet with our pups and did a great job watching them while we were away. We got the best pup photos! She was wonderful with administering medication and walking. We’ll definitely be working with her whenever we can moving forward!”

“Nathan was terrific - great communications and really positive about time with Winnie. Really appreciated the contact and follow up”

“Morgan is my go-to girl! She always takes great care of my Milo. She problem solves when needed and always keeps me in the loop. She’s reliable, amiable, and kind. 10/10!”

“Katie was the perfect sitter for my cats. I’m new in town, and i could tell i could trust her the minute she walked in to my house. My boys loved her, and I knew they were in great hands. And she was very patient with their needy mother 🤪 thank you, Katie!”

“I am so thankful for Rhiana! Updates and photos made me feel so much better about being away from Silva. He’s been meowing non-stop since I got home, telling me about his week with Rhiana. He clearly had a great time with his Rihana’s visits! Highly recommend Rhiana!”

“I came home to two happy contented pets (dog and cat). Carolyn took great pictures and reassured me that they were well cared for while I was away for a couple of days. I am seriously immunocompromised so I particularly appreciated her willingness to be Covid cautious while she was in my home. I will definitely hire her again.”

“Mikaela went above and beyond for miss ember, cleaning up after her accidents in the cage two days in a row and taking her on some great walks. Thank you!!”

“Melissa goes above and beyond when caring for my dog, from spending extra time playing with him to sitting with him to make sure that he eats while I’m gone. My dog always looks forward to her visits! Thanks Melissa!”

“My girls felt very comfortable with Kassie! Would love to have her sit for them again.”

“Nina took great care of my cat while I was away! She provided great updates and photos and gave my kitty lots of play time and attention. I would definitely recommend Nina!”

“Sara is the epitome of responsible and caring. She took exceptional care of my puppy and I know he was in the best of hands. She was communicative, followed our training directions, and when I came home he was so happy! I felt as thought she treated him with the level of care that she would if he were her own. I highly recommend her and my pup already can't wait to see her again soon :)”

“Very prompt and willing to come at the last minute. Really helpful.”

“Nice, prompt, easy and helpful”

“As always, Martina is fabulous with Beau! He loves seeing her when she comes and he always seems happy and relaxed when I get home from work on the days she's with him.”

“I’ve known Amaris for four lovely years. She is about as good a dog owner as any four-footed-furball could ask for! Amaris and her dog Beauregard are a friendly, loving, good-natured tag team that rival the likes of Scooby-Doo and Shaggy. Amaris has watched my dog Lumi countless times, for long weekend stays to daytime drop-offs, all the time going on walks, hikes, and roughhousing (Lumi’s favorite). Not only does Lumi have an excellent dog companion in Amaris, he’s also made a great pup friend in Beau. There’s nobody I trust more to watch and care for my dog than Amaris.”

About: I have raised multiple dogs from birth to adulthood and am experienced with reward-based training methods (rather than punishment-based). I have cared for dogs with special needs and during injury/illness recovery. I'm an active person and happy to help your dog be active as well! I work from home and have a semi-flexible schedule. Because of this I can usually accomodate for any time needed with enough notice (at least one day). I am happy to work with any special routines or accomodations you may require. I have experience with special needs dogs, medication management, dietary restrictions, and mobility issues. With my background in biomedical sciences, you can trust that your pet is safe and in good hands.

“Alexa was a wonderful sitter and did a great job with my two crazy cats and perfectly executed my very detailed and somewhat demanding list of ‘to do’s’. she was also very communicative which I really appreciated”

“My dog is a bit of an old grumpy guy and doesn’t like many people. Shows no interest. The first time Ms. M. came, Walter perked up and even played a bit with her. She will be watching him again while we are gone for the holiday. I trust her implicitly. Sharon W.”

“Mackenzie accepted our request for catsitting the last minute just before Thanksgiving and even stopped by our house before the visits to meet Puszkin and talk to us. She is very responsive and follows all the instructions perfectly! She sent us some pictures from the visits and provided us with updates on our kitty. We definitely recommend Mackenzie as a catsitter! ❤️”
