Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In The Meadows

“Rhiana was amazing with our cat Crouton who needed meds around the clock and some extra love and attention while we were away! We felt at ease knowing Rhiana was taking such good care of her! Will definitely be booking with her again :)”

About: I have been taking care of friends, family members animals for over 2 years now while attending college. I love giving care to their furry friends while they are away. Having animals myself I understand the need to have a trustworthy caretaker while away! I look forward to become your pets new friend! I currently work 30/32 hours a week usually during the early mornings or mid afternoons. I have usually offered early morning walks or evening walks to those in need! I am able to do overnights as well, but always check to make sure the animals will be okay while I work! I have always tried to take care of the pets in the exact way the client has asked. I am able to sit in during meals, stay to get energy out, or even squirrel watch! I always try to make the animals stay in the routine that they have known!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from new born puppies to senior dogs for the past 10 years. Friends and family trust me to dog sit and dog walk for them regularly. I am currently on summer break so I have plenty of time to play with and walk your pups! I have a very flexible schedule. I am open to walking and caring for your pup however you feel is best! I have experience with a a variety of walking methods, crating, fenced yards, and off leash dogs.

“Margaret was communicative, kind, and wonderful to my cat! Would not hesitate to book with her again.”

About: I have taken care of many dogs and love to bond with them. Family and friends have let me pet sit for years and who doesn’t love hanging out with a cute dog. I am currently a part time student and in my off I go on walks and play with my own dog at home. I also go to dog parks to play with my two dogs. I will keep eyes on your pets and play with them and get their energy out. I will also make sure your pet has a new best friend.

“Yana is great! She was scheduled for a drop in for my dogs. They loved her and she gave attention to my cat as well (not that he gives anyone a choice). The dogs were happy and worn out when I got home. I will absolutely be booking with her again.”

Melissa C.

“Tracy was so great with meeting my pup! She spent so much time and careful questioning to make sure she had all of the necessary information to take care of him. I feel very, very confident in recommending her to others.”

Anneka K.

“Karlee is a great sitter! She’s super friendly and responsive to visits. She’s done a great job at doing house visits for my puppy to tire him out and keep him engaged when I’m busy. Would definitely recommend!”

Kelsey F.

“Penny is fantastic. I feel like she’s the best kept secret on this site. She is professional and personable. I will definitely reach out again!”

Milanie C.

“My dog had such a great time with Bertie while I was on vacation, she probably didn’t even notice I was gone. Seeing the pictures of their day together made me happy and I will rebook in the future!”

Abby S.

“Makenna was great! She was even able to go out of her way and meet with us on a very short notice ahead of time. All of our animals absolutely love her. Makenna is one of the best pet sitters we have had and we will definitely be asking her to help in the future!”

“Danielle is one of the most amazing sitters that we’ve ever had! She is reliable and prompt, always arriving at the selected booking times. We most recently worked with her for extended time away for our wedding, and our minds were at ease the entire time. Our cats love her and she’s so thoughtful with how she cares for them.”

Taylor J.

“Megan has been amazing. My cats connected with her very well. Even my older cat who is standoffish with strangers sat on her lap. She came to my rescue when I needed her for another day and I appreciate her so much!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my extensive experience handling high-responsibility care, complex routines, and multi-pet households. I grew up fostering kittens, have my own beloved animals at home, and have been trusted to manage up to 6 animals simultaneously, so I am incredibly comfortable maintaining a calm, structured environment even with a full house. Beyond standard dog walking, feeding, and playtime, I am highly experienced in administering special medications and following precise care plans. For your absolute peace of mind, I hold active EMT and CPR certifications. This background means I possess sharp attention to detail, strong situational awareness, and the ability to remain completely calm and capable in any emergency. Whether your pet is a high-energy pup who needs lots of exercise or a senior pet requiring careful medical monitoring, I am dedicated to providing a safe, reliable, and loving experience. I am currently on summer break from my pre-medical neuroscience track at UVA, where I'm working part-time as an EMT and interning. My ultimate goal is to become a pediatric oncologist, but right now, I am looking for a rewarding side hustle because I deeply miss having regular connections with animals! Because my summer schedule is highly structured and predictable, I can easily integrate dedicated pet care into my daily routine. I have wide-open availability for boarding and housesitting on weekends, and plenty of open blocks during the weekday to focus entirely on keeping your pets happy, exercised, and loved. I offer pet care and dog walking exclusively within the comfort and familiarity of the client's home or neighborhood, which I find keeps pets relaxed and stress-free. When house-sitting, my top priorities are safety, strict adherence to your routine, and maintaining the utmost respect for your home. Because of my background in emergency services, I am naturally highly observant and detail-oriented. I treat your home with the same care and respect that I would my own—ensuring doors are locked, security systems are set, and potential hazards are entirely out of reach before I head out. For walking clients, I always double-check harnesses, use secure leashes, and maintain constant situational awareness of our surroundings. I strictly follow your rules regarding feeding schedules, medication administration, and boundaries, keeping you updated with pictures and texts so you always have total peace of mind.

“Mitch went above and beyond caring for our animals while we were away for the holidays and was even flexible with adding an extra day when we decided to extend our trip. Super sweet with our animals and took great care of our home. Would definitely recommend!”

Kara H.

“Very communicative, sent us lots of photos of our fur babies, & very accommodating. Loved that she also was willing to do a meet & greet first. We would totally use Amy for her services again!”

About: I’ve owned many dogs over my lifetime. From a Min Pin to Collies, Retrievers and Pointers. I have taken care of friends and relatives animals while they were out of town. I have done long time sits (several weeks) to daily drop ins. I’m retired so I have lots of time to care for your pets. I love taking walks and getting to know each animal whether it’s to come hang out and play, feed etc or take for long or short walks. I don’t have any dogs or cats living with me now due to my landlord not allowing pet ownership. They don’t mind if I bring a dog here for short periods.

“Doris did a great job with my kitties. They are usually very shy but one of them came out to greet her everyday. She was there everyday at the scheduled time and everything looked great when we arrived home.”

“Riley was fantastic with my puppy, Pearl! Pearl is always excited to see her and Riley goes above and beyond to help with paying and reinforcing good training habits, I highly recommend her!”

“Ed was exactly who we were looking for! We have 2 large dogs that can be a lot to handle, and Ed handled it perfectly. He followed our instructions exactly as we asked. We also loved the updates throughout! I would highly recommend him.”
