Pet Sitting in Scottsville

“Candice cares for our aging husky and makes his older years comfortable while we are working. She's attentive and we so appreciate the photos she sends!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for over 20 years, pets are my passion! I am also a former Petshotel and Doggie Day Camp Manager for a national chain and have extensive experience handling dogs, cats, and small pets of all sizes and breeds. I am currently accepting small and medium sized dogs for in house day care and overnight stays. I specialize in small and delicate breed types, not usually suited for kenneling or vet boarding. All fur babies will be treated as family members while here! They can sit on the couch, sleep on the bed, and watch TV with us just like at home. Some larger "gentle giants" can be considered on a case by case basis, just reach out. I believe pets are family! All pets in my care are treated with loving and gentle guidance using only positive reinforcement. All dogs will remain on leash the entirety of their walk. We have a fenced in area off the back patio for bathroom breaks with wood chips as ground coverage. No grass of any kind for the safety of those pets with grass and skin allergies.

“Kaylynn was great with our pups! She watched them at our home while we were gone for a weekend and sent updates on how they were doing. Great care and communication! Definitely planning to use Kaylynn again.”

“Abigail did a great job taking care of our cat, Cleo, while we were out of town for a few days. Cleo is typically a very shy kitty, but she warmed right up to Abigail, judging by the pictures she sent of them playing together. She was also sweet enough to check up on our guinea pig as well. Would definitely recommend, and will definitely rebook the next time we're away!”

“Briana is so enthusiastic and caring for our boys. Our dogs love her and she went above and beyond to provide night relief, treats, and care during a particularly challenging summer when our old dog needed her the most. She is a true professional and I'd trust her with my dogs and house any time!”

“My pets were immediately attached the Danielle after the first meet and greet. Danielle exemplifies a caring professional! My wife and I felt at ease leaving our pets in her care. I know they will be excited to see her again!”

“Emily knew Tater from a previous boarding facility which was a great plus for me! She kept us updated the whole visit and I felt confident that Tater was well taken care of during the drop in visit. 10/10 would and WILL book her again :)”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them. I have two cats of my own, and I enjoy dog and cat sitting just as much as spending time with my own pets. Since I love going on long walks, I’m the perfect match for dogs who need some exercise. Whether it's a walk, a check in, or overnight, I will make sure your pets get all the love and care they need! I currently work close to full time, but I still have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to other responsibilities. My days are always free until 4pm, and I’m also available later in the evenings. In addition, I’m off every Sunday, which allows me even more time! I will care for your pets with the same love and compassion I give my own. I'm responsible and dependable, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Anna was great! Will definitely book again :)”

About: I recently graduated college. I have had cats and dogs since childhood, and currently have two dogs. In fact, one of my two dogs came with me to college as my emotional support animal. I have cared for multiple different animals within my family, which has ranged from watching them to clipping their nails. I am my family's go to person. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I am currently open anytime for playing with your animals. I do have my own animals which means I cannot stay overnight, but am more than willing to visit anytime you need to care for your furry friends. My dogs are out all of the time. They get food once a day and always have water. As for my family's animals, I abide by whatever rules they tell me. This is anywhere between putting the dogs in their crate when needed to letting them out.

“Jessica did such a great job with Luci, who is not always the friendliest/most outgoing cat! She was extremely responsive, attentive, and spent quality time with Luci. and I appreciate it so much! Would not hesitate to book again.”

“Thank you for looking after my 2 cats! I returned to them happy & heathy and they loved their new toy too! Such peace of mind to see the updates and know they’re in good hands, food, water, and litter being taken care of.”

About: I've been a pet caretaker since I was 12. Dogs quickly connect with me for play, walking and companionship- just like you were there too. I have a very flexible schedule with my JMU classes this semester so I have lots of available time to spend with your fur baby. I am very comfortable using any style leash for walking and using crates. My time with your fur baby will focus on play, fun and comfort

About: I will walk, bathe, and feed your precious loves. I will make sure your babies are loved and cared for. If you don’t like something for your animals, I won’t do it. Willing to negotiate if you have multiple dogs , or cats if you have cats. I will make sure your lovely animals are happy and well taken care of while under my supervision and care. I don’t allow animals on my bed but they are allowed on my futon, if you may have special ways of taking care of them I will make sure they are taken care of the way you want them to be! I love animals and want them happy! Willing to travel and stay at your home with your animals if that’s what you’re more comfortable with! I’m currently not working, so my time and attention is 100% on your loved animals. I will make sure your baby is loved and taken care of. I have an unfenced yard but i do have a leash & a dog cable so i can have your dog outside getting some sun and enjoying the weather. I have 1 dog that can keep your dog company!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I work remote so I can always be available for your little buddy! I’m a medical student, so I will have to be gone a few hours in the morning, but after that I can cater to any of your animals needs. I get up around 7 AM and head to get around 11:30. I always take frequent breaks throughout the day to stretch my legs and get some sun. Whatever you need, I’ll make sure your pet is well loved and appreciated! My house is always very clean and very spacious. I also live right next to a park and go for walks by myself regularly. Whenever I watch my friends animals, I bring my own food and activities and leave the place better than I found it.

“Petra is amazing with our little Luna! She takes her out potty, feeds her lunch and does some play during the day. Gives my wife and I peace of mind during the day while we are at work that our new baby is taken well care of. Would recommend her for your puppy needs!”

About: Let me provide you with peace of mind while you're away! I'm a licensed veterinary technician with many years of professional pet care experience. I began pet sitting when I was in high school, got my Bachelor's degree in zoology as well as my dog training certification, worked as a kennel manager for a boarding kennel after graduating college, then went back to school and became a licensed vet tech. Now I'm working part -time, which puts me in an ideal situation to offer some pet sitting services. I also have years of dog training experience, and I train and compete in dog agility in my spare time. As a former kennel manager and as a pet parent, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets while you're away. I know that your pets are members of your family, and they deserve to be treated as such. I will care for your pets as I care for my own fur-babies. I can provide a safe, comfortable home-away-from-home for your dogs where they will get plenty of attention and interaction! My home includes 3 dogs and 2 dog-friendly cats. I have a fully fenced yard for the dogs. If your pet has any medical needs, I can provide them whatever they need. To provide the safest environment for your dog(s) as well as my own, I do request that your dog(s) be up to date on vaccines as well as flea/tick prevention and heartworm prevention before staying with us in our home. I also request that puppies be crate trained. As it has come up in the past, please be aware that I am NOT willing to use an electronic/shock collar on your dog while they are under my care. Please understand that I have a young child at home, and her safety is my top priority. For that reason, I can only board dogs that are child-friendly and gentle. If I believe that your dog(s) staying in our home will in any way cause a safety concern, I will decline the boarding request. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have, so please don't hesitate to contact me! *Holiday rates apply.* I'm currently working part -time at a local animal clinic, and I have availability to pet sit Fridays-Mondays. Longer stays can be considered on a case by case basis. I have a fully fenced, large yard at my home. I have friendly dogs who love to play, and I live on a quiet, low-traffic cul de sac if your dog enjoys leash walks.
