Pet Sitting Ridge St

“Tracy was great! We appreciated her taking care of our kitties our first time away from them with drop-in visits. She was very communicative and kind. She sent us photos of them playing and eating. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to other pet parents!!”

About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, a 10 mile run, relaxing companionship, or attentive care and routine, I’m happy to provide a safe and comfortable experience while you’re away. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to visit and play with your pets! I'm available at most times, 7 days a week. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions. In my home, I provide a safe, supervised environment that is clean and has plenty of open space. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings while keeping their space clean and secure. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can see that your pet is happy and well cared for!

“Grace is reliable and a great communicator! I am new to Rover, and she definitely eased any anxieties I had about my puppy being alone for the first time. We will definitely be booking with her in the future!”

“Danielle has been so awesome with our dog who is shy and takes a little time to warm up to new people! She is so responsive and has been great to work with! I feel very comforted knowing our dog is in her good hands while we’re away. Thank you, Danielle!!!!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life and started dog-sitting for my neighbors at 9 years old. I love all animals, but dogs have a very special place in my heart. I've worked with dogs of all ages, and over the summer, I cared for a puppy full-time for the family I nanny for. I am very comfortable with big dogs and have lots of experience with large breeds, including Corsos and English Mastiffs. I hope I can make your time away from your pets a little bit easier and less stressful! I am a full-time student at the University of Virginia (with a car), so I have classes during the weekdays; however, I do have many breaks and a few days each week without classes, so I have a lot of room for coming by to check in and help out in any way I can. What I do to keep the animals and myself safe really depends on the situation. When I walk, I always carry pepper spray, and I have collars with lights on them in case I am ever walking a dog in low visibility. The important thing to me is making sure I follow any specific requests from the owners!

“Rachael took such great care of our cat. Our cat is hard to get to know and she got her to come out within the first few days! She kept all of the areas clean and went above and beyond to connect with our cat. I am impressed with her communication and instant love for our cat. I will totally have Rachael come back again! Thank you!”

“Just what we needed thank you!!”

“Basil was awesome with our two kitties! Felt very good that our cats were well cared for. Gave medicine to one of our cats. Responsive and helpful and even stopped by to meet them for the first time. Highly recommend Basil.”

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.

“Abigail is an excellent pet sitter and I strongly recommend her. I felt very comfortable with Abigail coming into my home to care for my cat. She is a kind hearted and caring person who genuinely loves pets!”

“This was my first time having someone I didn't personally know check in on my cats, so I was a little nervous. But Keira did great, and I really appreciated the peace of mind I had from her updates. I also really appreciated that she respected my cats' personalities - giving attention to my social boy, and leaving my more standoffish boy alone. I would definitely hire her again.”

Rebecca J.

“Nathan was so helpful! He was willing to fit me in last minute. He replied quickly to messages and even called from the house to make sure he took care of everything I needed.”

Susan M.

About: I've owned and taken care of cats and dogs for a very long time and can't wait to take care of your babies too! I was a veterinary assistant for 5 years in both small and large animal clinics and am very comfortable taking care of all animals. I also grew up riding horses and handling large animals. I'm happy to do farm animal or reptile drop in visits as well. Let me know of any special instructions for your fur babies and we will work it out! I am a graduate student at UVA so I am typically working during the day but can do drop in visits morning/afternoon and walks at those times as well. I want to know what your routine is and I will do my best to follow it to the letter so that your pet is comfortable and gets the most out of our time together.

“Riley was fantastic with my puppy, Pearl! Pearl is always excited to see her and Riley goes above and beyond to help with paying and reinforcing good training habits, I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve always had several dogs in my household since I was a little girl that were all types of breeds and ages. Pets are definitely family to me. I have one dog and 2 cats. Peaches, Pepper, and Pumpernickel. I've also been a pet sitter to a few neighbors for 2 years. In summers I’ve also volunteered at SPCA as a dog walker. I'm excited to give love to as many furry friends as I can!

“Christian went above and beyond in making my reactive Aussie comfortable and building up trust, and I really appreciated how much patience Christian showed! My Aussie is much more chill with them now, and we’re already booked for more visits and dog sitting! Christian is also meticulous in note taking and communicating, and making sure all the care tasks are performed the way my Aussie is used to.”

“In the shortest words - Camille is THE best!! She has been here with my 3 year old territorial girl Luna and my very young and uncooperative puppy Gunner 3 times and all 3 times she has been amazingly patient and loving to them! They love her so much and I am super thankful that she is able to care for them for a bit while I am at work!! Camille is the first person I have trusted with them and I am so happy we met her!”

“Awesome service and flexible to accommodate a last minute request for extra drop ins. Our dogs loved Catie and we will definitely request her help again!”
