“I'm very thankful to have found Emil. I work in retail and consequently work almost every weekend. Emil walks my little chihuahua for me every Saturday and Sunday. He's very reliable and I never worry that he won't be able to make it. He also responds to any requests or questions very quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend Emil if you need someone to help care for your pups!”

“Maddie was prompt, early even, and spent extra time with our girl which was nice because she suffers from separation anxiety and my husband and I were gone longer than usual. Would recommend Maddie!”

About: I'm an animal lover, Mom, local business owner, and outdoor enthusiast! I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, and have spent many years fostering, volunteering for rescue organizations and leading dog walks and hikes. When I'm not caring for your pet babies, I'm in the kitchen working as a private chef here in Central, VA! Because I'm self employed with a flexible schedule, your pet won't have to spend long hours alone. I focus on low-stress, individualized attention—no overcrowded group walks or forced interactions. I'm comfortable following strict feeding schedules, giving oral medications, keeping up with active routines, and showing lots of affection, kindness and respect to your animals. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness is always my top priority! I'm self employed as a private chef and make my own schedule, so I have the time and flexibility to accommodate your pet needs! The opportunity to spend time with animals and get out of the kitchen into the fresh air is a win-win! I always strictly follow owner instructions and offer a safe, calm, active (when appropriate) and loving space for your pets to find connection while their owners are away.

About: I've always had dogs in my home growing up and love nothing more than our furry best friends. While my current life doesn't allow me to have a pet of my own, I would love to help connect with and take care of yours! I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds from the smallest puppy to the sweetest senior. Plus, as a photographer, I'll be happy to send lots of pics of your pet while I'm caring for them! My schedule fluctuates depending on the time of year, but I will keep my availability updated on my profile. I am best suited to assisting with midday walks or short petsitting stays. My apartment has plenty of space for your pet to roam as well as a 16,000 square foot fenced in dog park right outside my front door. If I'm house-sitting for you, my goal is to keep your pets happy in their own environment and space.

About: I have cared for dogs for a little over six years and have a lot of experience with them. I am a dog lover and know exactly how to keep them happy and healthy while their families are away! I am currently working part-time, so I will have more than enough time to care for your home, pups, and anything else you may need! I care for pets by ensuring that they are always given food and water, going outside frequently, and having someone to play with hem and pet them.

About: Hi! I’m Ovi. I’ve been caring for animals for over 18 years, and it’s truly one of my greatest joys. Animals have always held a very special place in my heart, and one day, my partner and I hope to create an animal sanctuary of our own. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and in-home pet sitting. I’m reliable, communicative, and attentive to each animal’s unique personality and needs. When I’m not caring for animals, I love horseback riding, herbalism, movement, watching Marvel or Studio Ghibli movies, and spending time in nature. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members 🤍 Pet care fits into my routine very naturally. It really depends on the week as my schedule has flexibility built in, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs. Feel free to book or send a request with your preferred dates and we can go from there! Keeping your pet safe is my first priority. I consistently follow necessary protocol such as checking fence gates before letting your dog outside, locking doors, making sure I don’t step outside without a key, and doing a final check that things are in order before leaving your home. My preference is to leave your home in a better condition than when I found it.

About: I’ve been taking care of family, friends, and neighbors pets since I was 10 years old. I’ve taken care of animals of all ages from puppies to senior animals. I work at a school, so this is not my full time job. It would be best to contact me directly for my availability and to figure out what works best for you and your pet(s). I prefer to do meet and greets so I can see the pet(s) usual environment and learn more about where I’ll be staying. I never take pets outside without a leash on for safety reasons.

About: Hello! My name is Zoe and I am a law student at UVA. I have been surrounded by animals since I was born. I had two cats growing up and personally cared for two aquatic frogs. I’ve had two dogs since the age of 13 and was a big part of their training. My two dogs who live at home are reactive on leash so I am familiar with how to walk and care for reactive dogs. I have also been a foster parent for cats at my local SPCA. I am comfortable with administering any kind of oral medication necessary. I am willing to go the extra mile for your pets and treat them like I would treat my own! I am available after 11:30 am Tuesday-Thursday, and all day Fridays. I am available on the weekends and am happy to provide more information about my schedule! I care for pets by staying by their side during their stay and making sure they are happy and comfortable. No matter the time, I will always make sure the pet I am watching is cared for. I have cared for puppies, kittens, adult dogs, and adult cats so I can accommodate all kinds of pets!

About: I am a certified professional dog trainer with a degree in veterinary technology. I have been working with dogs for about 15 years now, including dog daycares, boarding facilities, in home dog sitting, and now a professional dog trainer. My training ranges from puppies to semi-aggressive dogs, and pretty much everything in between! All of this info meaning I’m comfortable with a large range of dogs and behaviors, and your dogs will be in good hands! IG partnershipdogs for more information about me! I currently do not have a full time job so my days will be tailored to the pets I care for and taking care of them, and your home. I treat my clients dogs as if they were my own. They obviously receive basic care, but they will get lots of love and cuddles while you are away. Walks and enrichment activities are always provided if you request them!

About: when you choose me as your pet sitter, you have nothing to worry about. I care for all pets as if they're my own. I live in an apartment and I'm currently only available to do boarding with one dogs but will consider two if they are bonded pair. before any boarding or housesitting services confirmed, I require we meet in person to ensure all the details are understood and that your dogs are OK with my dog. I have a 30 pound beagle mix named Daisy who is three years old and she will be with me at all times. I am always available for drop in visits and dog walking. prices fluctuate due to various factors but the main ones these days are gas prices and distance of travel. I.e The farther away you are the more likely there is that a added fee will occur before confirmation of service. I provide pet care in services full-time as of November 2021. I am available at any time if you need me. i'm currently available for the following services: housesitting, pet boarding, drop in visit, dog walking for 30 minutes or 60 minutes, and one on one dog training. if your dog is with me, I live in a neighborhood that is very dog friendly. We have two dog parks and I am often at these dog parks at least once a day. However if you have a dog that is not comfortable with that I would not take them there. I would focus on other activities that are more suited to your pet. I also take a lot of pictures and I am constantly in contact with you so you don't have to worry where or what we're doing. I currently work as a therapist with an office in the Madison area, right next to the plow and hearth. My schedule is pretty flexible and it changes weekly as my client needs change. I am almost always around, that makes me a great person for any last minute bookings needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of affection, daily walks, and playtime tailored to your pet’s needs. I keep the space clean, secure, and low-stress, with my own well-behaved dog Daisy as a companion if your pet is comfortable. When staying in your home, I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions closely, maintain regular updates, and work to ensure your pet feels safe and cared for in their familiar environment. I aim to build trust with both pets and their people every step of the way.

About: I love dogs more than most people :) and am always looking to make more furry friends. I am also a massage therapist and give a doggone good doggy rub. I am happy and entertained by a good game of catch and retrieve and am as comfortable with 2 pound pups as I am with 200 pound pups. I also have a large yard at home and may be open to sitting at my home occasionally under the right circumstances. I am an RN by trade, so I am also comfortable dealing with special needs and conditions. If your dog likes the local dog park, that can be worked out as well. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your pup(s) soon. Cats also welcomed. I am working part time, so my schedule is flexible and weekends are an option often. My favorite part of every day is dog time.. I have a large yard out in the county away from traffic and an old lazy 14yr old lab who is user friendly with others. Crates are welcome but not necessary. My boy runs the lay of the land.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
