About: Animals are my true heart and passion. I've had dogs my entire life, from min pins to mastiffs. There's no animal I won't truly love. I currently volunteer at a few local places and am not employed. I have a passion for all animals and a love of helping others. My animals are my children and are treated as such. Their safety and comfort comes before my own. I will treat your home and furry babies with love and respect.
About: Being raised with pets of all varieties and now as a pet owner myself, I have a deep empathy for the needs of each unique animal I meet. Whether it’s managing anxiety, balancing high energy, or frolicking outside, I am committed to adapting to you & your pets needs. -Trustworthy, prompt & communicative -Anxious dog & reactive dog experience -Experienced with senior care -Adaptive to different training styles -Happy to run, walk, play or stay! Cuddles and scritches included in each booking. I just moved back to the Charlottesville area and have quite an open schedule as I’m in between jobs. Open all hours of the week and weekends.

“MacKenzie was a joy to work with! She was friendly, competent, reliable & trustworthy. The check-ins, report cards & photos are reassuring & a nice touch. I appreciated her experience with chicken care too (as I have a small backyard flock). It was our 1st Rover experience & a positive one. I’m grateful to have found her for drop-in visits.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats for friends and neighbors for around three years now. My family has two cats and two dogs that I've helped care for and train since they were young. I also have experience with older animals and their needs since one of my dogs and one of my cats are twelve. I currently don't have any other summer employment, so my schedule is open. I am available mornings, afternoons and late evenings every day of the week and weekends, just not for overnight care. I can stop by throughout the day to feed, play with, and let out animals. I can also do short or long walks with dogs or even cats!

About: I have a couple years of pet sitting experience, both drop-ins and house sitting. I have always been a pet lover, and enjoy meeting new animals. I’ve watched active dogs, and dogs with dietary restrictions. I’m home for summer break and have a very flexible schedule. I can’t wait to meet your pets! At this time, I have open availability as I’m home for the summer. I’m available for weekday and weekend visits. I’m open to long and short term visits as well! I approach every visit knowing that all pets have different needs. I love having detailed directions to insure that I can care for your pets to the best of my availability.
About: I grew up in a family that had 2 cats, and I because we lived in a bit of a small neighborhood, sometimes the neighbors would ask to animal-sit/house-sit for them when they were away. My schedule is fairly open throughout the week, sometimes things may pop up here and there, but obviously I will let you know if I will or will not be able to do something last minute. But my schedule availability as of right now is open from Monday-Sunday! So please feel free to reach out and ask! Sometimes I will house my in-laws three dogs when they are on vacation, we have a fence in the backyard and a clean pet friendly house!
