“My animals were instantly comfortable with Morgan, including my geriatric dog who tends to take time to warm up to new people. I’m so grateful for her wonderful service!”
“Megan was lovely, she did great with the cats making sure Artie and Riasin had lots of attention and playtime. Artie is currently taking medicine and she made sure to get it to Artie when needed. Thank you Megan!”
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. I am a Fear Free certified veterinary assistant. While sitting in your home, I stick to your pets’ schedule but am also happy to take your pets on additional fun activities when requested.
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 had dogs and cats all my life. I grew up on a farm and have always loved animals. My girls Piper, Ella and Shelby are my world. I love these dogs like they are children. They are spoiled I will admit. I also have taken care of my friends dogs for years while they have been out of town and my house as "Aunt Paige's Doggie Camp" All my dogs I have brought up from puppies. I have house trained them, crate trained them and trained them on the invisible fence for the yard. They always get lots of love and have lots of toys to play with, both inside and outside. I work from home, so I'm always here to take them out and take care of them. My dogs are always outside when it's not too hot or the weather is bad. I live on a quite street which ends in a cul-da-sak. So I will walk them at least 2 times a day The most important thing is they must get along with other dogs. I have a invisible fence in my yard and can certainly put your dog on it if they are trained on one. Otherwise I will go out with them and walk them. If they are well trained and can be lose a return on command they can play in the yard with my girls.
“Samantha provided multiple pictures each visit and was very patient with our shy dog. Our dog and cat are happy and healthy and no messes. Definitely recommend and will hire her again. Five stars!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. My oldest dog lived until he was 17. I played with my animals everyday for hours at a time. They were always well taken care of I’m basically free everyday of the week because all my classes are online so i’m able to care for your pets at anytime of the day I read the instructions that i’m given and go based off that. I love to spoil the animals and make them feel special. I give them lots of play time and make sure they’re comfortable in they’re environment
“Beth and Stephen were lovely. They met my pets before I confirmed, were timely in their responses, and provided pictures of my pets they checked in on daily. Highly recommend.”
About: I have cared for dogs my whole life. My family has 3 dogs, and for 3 years we fostered special needs dogs from the animal shelter: litters of puppies, sick dogs, pregnant dogs, and dogs with special medical needs. I volunteered as a dog walker at our animal shelter. I worked for a year at a dog boarding facility handling all aspects of dog care: feeding, medication, walks and play, cleaning. I attended puppy socialization and training classes with my own dogs. I am a college sophomore available for summer, weekend and holiday pet sitting in and near Greene County. I can be with your pets overnight from dinner time to after breakfast. I have a flexible part-time daytime job, so can return for daytime potty and visits as needed. I start by understanding your pets daily routine, medical and care needs, and your expectations. I will make a visit to introduce myself before your trip. While you are away, I will send regular updates and ask any questions.
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!
“You’re amazing! I’m a little jealous thought... I think they like you better! ? Thank you for taking such great care of them and going out of your way to keep them clean and safe. I was totally at piece once I saw the first pics.”
“Haleigh was great with my dog, she was friendly and playful. On both days she was on time and had great time with my dog Peter. We felt very comfortable and relaxed! Highly recommended!!”

“Kind person, willing to take a last minute job looking after a high anxiety dog. Ended up winning the dog over and making friends! Highly recommend.”
lindsey g.
“Lindsey is an incredible pet sitter, and I couldn’t recommend her more! I usually worry when having someone watch Stella because she’s high maintenance, but with Lindsey, that thought doesn’t even cross my mind. She takes such great care of my beagle, treating her like one of her own. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing that Stella is in loving and capable hands when I’m away. Lindsey is reliable, attentive, and truly understands animals. I always come home to a happy pup, and that means everything to me. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet like family, Lindsey is the one!”

Shane & Meg M.
“I’ve known Shane for many years now, and animals have always been a big part of his life. He grew up with a small dog named Bubbles, adopted two kittens when he moved out on his own, and has shared stories with me about dog-sitting for neighbors and friends over the years. When we started dating, my family already had a full house of pets- four dogs, two cats, and frequent visiting pups my sister boarded monthly. Shane got along with all of them right away. They’d greet each other at the door, and our tiniest dog, Ginger, always chose his lap over anyone else’s in the room. Now that we’re married, Shane (and I guess technically me too, haha) has pet-sat for my family many times- sometimes staying overnight at their house, sometimes boarding their pets at ours, and often stopping by for day visits during short trips. He’s responsible with feeding, watering, administering medication when needed, and giving each pet the right amount of attention and exercise. He’ll play with the little dogs in the yard and take the big ones on longer walks. My family’s cats are pretty shy, but when they come out for a visit, Shane is gentle and patient- always ready with a scratch behind the ears and a quiet moment of affection. He’s also cared for our neighbor’s two small kittens, who were only a few weeks old at the time. They needed lots of attention and stimulation, and Shane enjoyed every minute- and judging by the way the kittens would climb up to his shoulder and perch like tiny panthers, I think the feeling was mutual!”
