Elizabeth is amazing with sunny, our Pomeranian. She gets him up and out of bed for his morning walk, and he can be grumpy to get up in the mornings. He likes her and doesn't bark as much as when other people come through the door. She's attentive to detail and so helpful. I fractured my ankle and she's helped sunny get in the morning walks he needs. Thank you so much!

Rebecca is so caring, and took great care of our boy Finn! She truly caters to what each dog needs and he loves her! He’s a generally anxious dog but warms up. He took to her right away! We’ll use Rebecca for all of our doggy needs!

I'm very thankful to have found Emil. I work in retail and consequently work almost every weekend. Emil walks my little chihuahua for me every Saturday and Sunday. He's very reliable and I never worry that he won't be able to make it. He also responds to any requests or questions very quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend Emil if you need someone to help care for your pups!

Jen has walked my dog Riley twice so far, and she’s been great. We had an initial meeting prior to the first walk which made me feel really comfortable. She’s responsible, shows up on time, and she’s great with communication. I’ve received really cute pics after each walk. Riley seems to really like her, and I plan on booking Jen again for walks.

About: I have provided care for many pets from my former teachers, neighbors, family and word of mouth. Both my pets have lived to be seniors and watched senior pets as well. I worked at an animal hospital for about 2 years before moving to this area. I am familiar with giving medications and following instructions on feeding due to allergies and stomach concerns in dogs. I am experienced with reactive dogs and protective dogs when entering the home. I am mostly able to do daily check ins in morning-midday. My work schedule varies, so just ask I can try to work something out! I will meet or chat with you prior to meeting your pup or cat and learn there favorite snacks, toys and walk routes. I want then to be comfortable with me.

Samantha did 9 drop in walks for my 6 month old doodle. I trust her to go above and beyond in the care and exercise she provides. Her communication was great; she offered to meet me and my puppy before and was friendly and professional. I’m more convertible leaving him home now; will definitely work with Samantha again!

About: I have always grown up with both cats and dogs in my household and have been a lover of animals from a young age. I have house sat for most of my family members before I went to college and consistently watch my roommates cat, who has lived with us for four years, anytime she is out of town. I currently am a full time graduate student at UVA, just looking for a few jobs here and there between classes and another part time job! Most of my availability is in the morning and afternoons on the weekdays and afternoon and evenings on the weekends. I have been told on many occasions that I have a loving and kind demeanor which I will share with your pets. I would be honored to give your pets some love when you are out of town, working, or just busy!

About: I have been taking care of my neighbors’ cats and dogs since I was 9 years old! When I was 14, my family adopted our beagle terrier, Atticus, and I was so excited to have a new addition to our family. When I left for college, I missed my furry companion, so I started pet-sitting for family friends in the area. It has brought me so much joy to take care of people’s pets, and I want to keep doing it as long as I can! Since I am between semesters, I have a lot of time to be available for your pets! I like to be active and spend time outdoors during the day which usually accommodates energetic pets! Whether it’s a multi-day stay, or just a daily check in, I will make sure your pet is active, happy, and safe throughout our time together!

Amber has watched our dog numerous times and we never worry!! She’s very reliable, responsible, and responsive. Amber is a natural with any animals and always treats them as her own! Aspen is always excited to see her! Even now with him getting older, she writes down notes and follows our instructions with his medications and supplements to ensure he is comfortable and taken care of! Anytime we go out of town or we’re just out for a while, we call Amber! Our minds are always at ease knowing Aspen is with Amber :)

Bailey is an extremely responsible caregiver for animals. Being my roommate for nearly 5 years now, she has helped me take care of my own cat when I go out of town, and treats her as her own even when I am there! When it comes to caring for animals, Bailey does much more than the bare minimum of ensuring safety and food. While these are essential, Bailey understands that playing and interacting with animals is equally important. In other words, your pets will not only be taken care of, but they will also have fun playing, going on walks, and interacting. I would highly recommend Bailey to anyone looking for someone to watch their animals!
