“Jani & Paul were able to graciously accommodate my puppy for daycare on very short notice. He thoroughly enjoyed his stay and will most definitely be booking again. The best!!!”

“Rebecca is an amazing pet caretaker. She is thoughtful, attentive and knowledgeable. I felt good knowing my dog was with her and my dog, who is shy at first, came out of her shell and had a great time!”
“Carolyn was an absolute gem with Stella. She was super responsive, provided fun photos & videos throughout the day, and provided me with a nice wrap up of the day when I picked Stella up. For the first time ever, Stella did not seem to want to come home! I will be rebooking with Carolyn very soon and highly recommend her for all your doggy needs.”

“We were impressed with Jessica’s care for our border collie mix Boots for a very long day care day. Boots enjoyed the fenced-in yard and romping with another visiting dog. With a lovely, flexible, positive personality, Jess made us feel assured that Boots was being well taken care of. We would highly recommend her to others and will definitely seek her services again, when we return to town and need temporary dog care.”
“Kayla was great for doggy daycare she provided for my pup. She was attentive and communicative to me with pictures and follow up with how Sadie was doing throughout the day. Will book with her againz”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all of my life. Walking my neighborhood dogs when their owners were away and having 3 dogs of my own. We currently have an Australian Shepherd who is almost 3. We e had him since he was a puppy. I currently work from home so have time to care for your pup. We have a large fenced in yard and walk our dog down the street daily. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly Australian Shepherd. Our home is pet-safe. We have two cats that have their own space that dogs cannot get to in case they are not fond of each other.
“I was going through Charlottesville and desperately need someone to watch my dog for a few hours while I went to the doctor and took my car to be serviced. Aly was exactly who I was looking for, and more important, exactly who my dog needed.”

About: I have owned multiple dogs in my adulthood. I currently own a 2 year old golden who I have personally trained. I have worked at a dog day care for 5 months where I learned more about dog body language and how to diffuse any fights. I have walked and babysat dogs for friends. I consider all dogs to be my friends, because there is no such things as a bad dog. I work 12 hour night shifts Friday-Sunday. I am completely available Monday-Thursday, but can do some walks on weekends. Because my weeks are so open then I can spend more time taking care of pups. I have a friendly golden retriever who is only 2 (almost 3). She loves to play! She does great with other dogs (she used to have a brother) but also knows how to cuddle and chill. We have a big dog park that is hardly ever used where I could take her and yours.
About: I’ve taken care of family pets since I was a child so I have years experience dealing with a variety of different animals including cats dogs and reptiles. I would love to help keep your up companion’s routine whenever you cannot. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to help you take care of your fur babies! I am available most weekends. I do not have a fenced in yard, but walks are frequent. My dog has a very mild temperament and would love to help tire out your pup if they like making new friends.
“I definitely recommend Sarah as the pet sitter. She was great and response to the message almost immediately. Both my dogs are so tired but happy. Additionally, she has three children meaning doggies get 3times more attention!! She also has a nice yard for doggies to run around and her dog Stella is so sweet! You don't need to worry about your doggies while you are gone!!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of cats since I was 6 and after that eventually started taking care of dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs. I’ve also volunteered in multiple animal shelters and able to understand the need of any regular or special-need pet. I have worked a couple of years as a cat trainer as well. Currently I have three cats and two guinea pigs! One of my cat is a special need, incontinent cat, so I understand how to take care of a special fur-baby. I will take great care of your fur babies and make sure that they have a good time while you are away! I’m working from home and my husband works from home. We are available to take care of your fur babies on both weekends and weekdays! I am available to play with your dogs and cats after 5pm from Monday- Wednesday and all days on the other days. I have three very sweet and well behaved cats, they are indoor-outdoor and very friendly with neighbors cats and dogs. They will make your pet feel welcome and comfortable in my house. I have worked for years in shelters and took care of animals in need. I understand immediately if they are in distress, unhappy or scared. I can calm them down, will meet their needs and will be there are a friend and a caregiver.
About: Owner of a 501c3 animal rescue, I’ve worked with all types of critters. I’ve taken classes in wildlife rehabilitation, worked in dog training centers, and been employed in the county of LA handling overflow cases from Animal Control. I recently left my career behind to purchase a farm and dedicate myself full time to animals. Picking up a bit of work during the transition/ relocation to the farm. I own cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, fish, and a rabbit. I have a well practiced routine with my critters, leaving me open to help others with their babies. I have a few hours during the week I am unavailable due to helping out at a dog training facility (9 hrs/ wk). I am able to administer medications, spend time with more difficult or sensitive pets (plenty of patience for animals), and even implement any training techniques you’ve been working on with your babies. I’m definitely a believer in “no bad animals”. I also have an acre yard completely fenced in.

“I recently hired Caitlin to dog sit for my two furry companions, and I must say she was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I met her, I could tell that she had a genuine love and passion for animals. She took the time to get to know my dogs and their individual personalities, ensuring that they were comfortable and well taken care of while I was away. She followed all of my instructions and even went above and beyond by taking them for long walks and playing with them in the backyard. I received daily updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing that my dogs were in good hands. When I returned home, my dogs were happy and well-groomed, a clear indication of the excellent care they received from Caitlin. I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter to anyone looking for someone who is responsible, caring, and trustworthy. Thank you, Caitlin, for providing my dogs with such a wonderful experience while I was away.”
