Dog Walking in Ridge St, Charlottesville, VA

“Dakota was friendly, flexible, and reliable. Sam always enjoyed his time with Dakota. Dakota interspersed neighborhood walks & trips to the dog park with visits to Barnes & Noble and other places. We will use Dakota again without reservation and highly recommend him to care for your pet.”

“James did a great job! We have an older dog and a puppy, and James walked both of them. He communicated with us throughout the day about their walks, and he was flexible with his scheduling for us. We will definitely use James again, and we would highly recommend him to any other dog owners.”

“Chelsea has taken care of our Bernese Mountain Dog, Griffin, on several occasions. He is always pampered and treated as her own, and he loves her so much! She is always reliable and sends lots of pictures which I love. She also has picked him up or dropped him off from his doggy day care for us on occasion when she has taken him for a few days. Highly recommend!”

“Christian has been such a blessing for us during the last month! She has been so accommodating with our schedule and the needs of our two pups, Finn and Otis. Christian is attentive, caring, and she goes above and beyond when she’s working with us and our dogs. She is a great communicator and is always punctual. We are so lucky to have found her!”

“Amy is a kind, caring person who has loved animals her whole life! She goes above and beyond to care for her own and other animals and she would be a great choice to help care for yours. Her genuine spirit is felt my all and animals love her! She’s a natural!”

“Kiersten is an exceptional pet sitter who has cared for both my dog and cat on multiple occasions. She’s reliable, attentive, and truly loves animals. My pets absolutely adore her! I always feel at ease knowing they’re in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommend!”

“Cait was incredible! She watched my 1 year old cat while I was gone on vacation and was lovely! She sent updates, was quick to respond, and was super reliable. I felt great throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!”

“My dog is such a happy pup on days Scott comes to visit. He gets ample walk a fetch time. Scott is kind and attentive and always give Rooster ample fun time. I’d recommend him to anyone”

“Bailey is an extremely responsible caregiver for animals. Being my roommate for nearly 5 years now, she has helped me take care of my own cat when I go out of town, and treats her as her own even when I am there! When it comes to caring for animals, Bailey does much more than the bare minimum of ensuring safety and food. While these are essential, Bailey understands that playing and interacting with animals is equally important. In other words, your pets will not only be taken care of, but they will also have fun playing, going on walks, and interacting. I would highly recommend Bailey to anyone looking for someone to watch their animals!”

“Doris is fabulous—responsive and professional. She’s only walked our beagle twice, but he’s already so excited to see her. And he comes back happily tired.”

“Caroline is, in a word, amazing! We have a seven year old rescue with some anxiety issues. Caroline bonded with our pup immediately and gave us the confidence to take a trip without concern.”

“Sloan was fantastic with my energetic pup! She was on time and took her on a much needed walk around the neighborhood. She followed my requests perfectly and I felt confident my fur baby was in trustworthy hands.”

“Rhiana is wonderful! She walked our dog while we were away for the day. She is so thoughtful and professional- we came home to happy pets and a calm house. It was an absolute relief to go away and not worry about our dog and know Rihana would be there to take care of her... and even given the cats some love :)”

“Livvy is the pet-sitter used by animal professionals! Both my partner and I are pet professionals (human-animal bond researcher and accredited service dog trainer), and are very selective about who watches, and how they watch, our dogs — and Livvy is our go-to! Livvy has been our pet-sitter on many occasions and has done a fantastic job each time. Both our adults have special behavioral needs that can make pet-sitting more difficult (reactivity, compulsions, etc), and Livvy has adapted to their needs without complaint. Livvy is great about communicating with us about them (and submitting fun pictures to us!) during our vacations, and I couldn't recommend anyone more.”

“Thank you for being so gentle with Tornado he is so afraid of noises and cars, so unlike his brother. Your care and compassion with my little fellows means so much. Thank you!!”

“Very highly recommended if you need a sitter/walker near the UVA campus! I needed someone to watch/walk my dog while I was at an event/graduation at UVA. Maura was prompt in her responses and very amenable to any questions and instructions for my dog. She even came a little early! Maura was a wonderful and caring sitter/walker for my scruffy dog, who can be a little wary of strangers. He seemed to have had a great time with Maura, however.”

“Jessica was great!! She was very thorough, communicated well, and was great with my dog, Sulley! Loved the messages and pictures she left!! Would definitely ask her to watch him again :)”

“Davi took care of our two cats for a full week and did such an incredible job. She clearly cared about our pets and asked us lots of questions and took lots of photos while we were away. One of our cats is a rescue and is quite fearful around new people. Davi has a gentle warmth about her and clearly treated our little buddy with special care, because she came out from under the bed for snuggles every time she visited. That is a huge deal for her. After coming home from our vacation, both cats were sweet as can be, with no sign of stress or resentment toward us for leaving. Clearly, that meant Davi gave them plenty of attention and love. We will continue asking Davi to care for our pets and cannot recommend her enough!”

“Thank you so much for walking Olav. I can tell he really loves you. Will definitely ask for you again. Would be good to have you walking him regularly.”

About: I have cared for dogs individually for over 9 years, but have grown up around dogs my entire life. My love for dogs started as a little girl, when my uncle adopted 10 abandoned beagles and I helped him take care and raise them all! When I became a teenager, I used all of the skills I learned as a child and applied them to start dog sitting in people’s homes, and dog walking. It started with coworkers of my mother, and word of mouth made my schedule full my entire high school and college career. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, and ages. I have four dogs of my own, a lab-pit mix, hound mix, jack russel, and a shih tzu. Now that I live in a new area, I would like to start making new dog friends, and gaining a new clientele. As I am new to the area, my schedule is quite open for drop ins and dog walking. I am available any time of the day to check in on your dogs! As I build a solid schedule, availability will change respectfully. I will care for your pets in your home during drop in visits, and walking routines as you (the client) instructs. Over the years, I have learned that everyone’s routines are different and having my own dogs I know how important regularity and routine is.
