About: Hi! For many years, I was a Fear Free Certified veterinary assistant in Charlottesville, VA. I also have experience as a dog kennel manager, farm assistant & animal rescue volunteer/advocate. During my 10 years of petsitting work, i’ve learned how to make your pets as stress free as possible while your away. Petsitting is my full time job! It is easy for both myself & my clients to have such flexibility. I schedule my days off based off of my client’s bookings. I have studied animal medicine & behavior for.

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 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!
“Najia took wonderful care of our 4 month old kitten over a long weekend. She sent lots of pictures and updates and was really thoughtful to make the experience as easy as possible for our kitten, especially since this was her first time with a sitter. I’m really glad I found Najia and will definitely use her again when we need someone to watch Bagel! Thanks again Najia!”

“Madelyn is an incredibly intuitive & diligent care taker. She watched my dog Theo, who has very particular care instructions in order to maintain his training. She followed every detail which gave me so much peace of mind that Theo had a clear and consistent environment. She was also great managing his reactivity with other dogs and made sure not to put him in any comfortable situations. Not to mention - he loves her! Highly recommend”
