“Hillary is a great sitter. A dog lover, she was so engaged and involved with our 2 Goldens during the week they stayed with her and her family. She sent multiple pictures, videos, and texts every day. The dogs were in great shape when we picked them up and it was clear that that they had been very well cared for. It is so comforting to know that your beloved pets are in good hands and Hillary exudes that type of confidence in her care. We are empty nesters and could tell from the videos and pics that the dogs loved playing with her children. I highly recommend Hillary!”


“Penny and her husband were so great with Winston. She kept me updated throughout his stay and he was very happy when I arrived to pick him up after my trip. He also got along with her dogs as well which is great! Will not hesitate to book again!”


“Jesse and Emily were fantastic with Kimber. Great communication with me and all the love and spoiling for Kimber. I love how they made her part of their family for the long weekend!”


“This was Lady's first sleep over with Svitlana, and although Lady is only 4 years old, she is deaf, and Svitlana does a great job of making her feel at home. We are very thankful to have found such a welcoming and safe place for Lady when we are away.”


“Bree was great with Winter! She sent all the pictures and was really responsive. I had some travel changes and she was very accommodating for picking Winter up at a different time. Will definitely use Bree again if I need a sitter in Charlottesville!”


“Jani and Paul treated Leo like he was part of the family. He received so much attention and love, I’m not sure he wanted to leave! Thank you so much for giving Leo such wonderful care.”


“Nadia was absolutely fantastic. We received daily updates on how our dog was doing and knew that she was very well taken care of. Nadia ensures that the dogs under her care get plenty of exercise/outside time and receive oodles of affection. I would highly recommend her!”


“Maui’s stay with Hannah was awesome. From the moment I dropped my dog off, I could tell that Hannah was a total animal lover and that Maui was going to be in great hand My dog has anxiety issues and Hannah was great at administering his meds. Hannah sent many pictures to show me how happy Maui was during his stay. I will definitely check with Hannah again when going away and need an amazing dog sitter.”


“Casey was amazing with our three large dogs. They can be very high energy and a lot to handle at times. One of our pups has separation anxiety away from home but he seemed to do soooo well with Casey. And she was so attentive to all their needs. She did a wonderful job with all three of them and their crazy personalities. She took them on lots of walks. We loved the picture updates. It made us so happy that our pups seemed so content on their vacation away from home. We will definitely rebook in the future! Thanks so much, Casey!!!”


“Paula was a lifesaver! We were anxious about leaving our 7mo puppy for our 9 day vacation. Paula was so responsive (tolerating my anxiety), sending photos and videos. Our boy was clearly well cared for and somehow came back a better listener! He was in constant company and I think he had a great time.”


“Riley was amazing! Ryder has a good amount of anxiety and she was patient with him and treated him like her own. Sent lots of updates throughout his stay! Will definitely use Riley again!”


“Amy was so great with our girls!!! This was our first time leaving them for vacation and using Rover. My girls were so comfortable and loved every minute of their own vacation!!! Highly recommend!!”


“We were nervous leaving our 6-month-old puppy for the first time, but Cory made it a wonderful experience for us and our pup. Cory was easy to communicate with; he provided lots of photos and updates when we were gone and Riley seemed very happy and content when we went to pick her up. We would definitely like to have Cory watch Riley again.”


“Jackie was amazing when watching our dog for 2.5 weeks while we were out of the country. She had great communication and sent us pics throughout the time. Great location as well for dogs to stay! Our dog has 3 legs and Jackie had no issues watching our dog and was very accommodating with any special needs. Highly recommend Jackie!”


About: Ive grown up with animals and took an interest in training and sitting when I was around 10 years old. I have experience training and watching family dogs, reactive dogs, service dogs and puppies! I also have multiple animals of my own and am well versed in the different care that different species may need. When I am home, my attention is 100% on my animals. I do have a full time job in a neighboring city and am gone for normal work hours, but devote time and attention when I am home. In my own home, everybody has their own space. With dogs, cats and bunnies, each animal has the ability to socialize or spend time on their own in their space. Each animal has been trained to appropriately interact with each other.

“Merlin had a wonderful time at Andrew’s! He sent updates at least once a day and took Merlin outside to play and expel his super high energy. I highly recommend Andrew for anyone needing care for their pet! He was very professional and was super knowledgeable about behavior recognition and training! His two dogs, Zeus and Baloo, are super sweet and interacted with Merlin very well.”
