“Bryana was amazing! She took such good care of our dogs and sent us great updates and photos. We have two very big dogs and we're always a little wary with someone new. But Bryana did so well with them, and she helped us feel at ease knowing that our boys were well taken care of. Will definitely work with her again! Highly recommend!”
“Danielle was outstanding! Her updates were detailed and brought smiles to our faces during our wedding/honeymoon trip. Our cats were immediately comfortable with her and she followed care directions precisely. She went above and beyond, even leaving us flowers to congratulate us on our marriage. We are so thrilled with Danielle and although we always feel sad to leave our kitties during a trip, we now know that they are in superb hands with Danielle and will rebook in a heartbeat. Thank you!!”
“Briana was wonderful! She made sure my cats were well taken care of while I was away. She was fantastic with communication and made sure to ask questions when needed. She gave me frequent detailed updates on them, including lots of pictures! I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future 🐈🐈⬛❤️”
“Tiziana did great with my cats! Awesome communication and care. She was fantastic at giving my elderly cat meds twice a day and being patient with my somewhat skidish cat. Highly recommend!”
About: Being raised with pets of all varieties and now as a pet owner myself, I have a deep empathy for the needs of each unique animal I meet. Whether it’s managing anxiety, balancing high energy, or frolicking outside, I am committed to adapting to you & your pets needs. -Trustworthy, prompt & communicative -Anxious dog & reactive dog experience -Experienced with senior care -Adaptive to different training styles -Happy to run, walk, play or stay! Cuddles and scritches included in each booking. I just moved back to the Charlottesville area and have quite an open schedule as I’m in between jobs. Open all hours of the week and weekends. I have a friendly dog that I can bring on walks or to play if you wish. I can also easily leave her at home when I need to stay at your home or for walks. In your home, I will respect all rules and instructions given.
About: My whole life I have grown up owning multiple dogs. Right now I have three dogs at home, two beagles and a king charles cavalier spaniel. I am a full time pet lover and treat every animal with the same kindness and respect. I also have training experience so dogs of any and all ages would not be a problem for me! I also work part time at Lemaire at the Jefferson Hotel in the evenings. However, my schedule is still very flexible, especially during the day, so that i can accommodate your animal’s needs. I am available Monday-Sunday and some holidays. I am currently a part time employee at Lemaire at the Jefferson Hotel. I am typically free all day on Monday’s and Tuesday’s. Wednesday-Sunday I am available until 3pm and after 10pm. I always make sure windows and doors are shut in the house at all times especially before leaving the house. I also never take an animal off leash unless there is a fenced in area. Before leaving the house I always check to make sure there is nothing potentially dangerous hanging around that could be gotten into.
“Amanda was such a wonderful cat sitter for our cat, Ninja! Ninja was unfortunately a bit grumpy and less friendly since we were away, but Amanda was so patient and caring with her. She took the time to text with me, asking questions and learning more about Ninja’s preferences so she could help her feel more comfortable. She even brought a toy from home and stayed extra time to try to cheer Ninja up and build trust. We really appreciated how thoughtful and dedicated she was. Highly recommend!”
“Hollister was great with my cats! She was very prompt and helpful, and both of my shy cats warmed right up to her. She will definitely be my first choice in the future if I ever need a sitter!”
“Lindy did an excellent job taking care of Aslan, providing regular updates and additionally providing care tips after Aslan's stay to help me as a new cat owner.”
“She is very nice and welcoming. Our dog immediately went to her! So grateful to have met her in such a short notice. Already rebooked her!! Thank you so much.”

“Jen is an experienced and very professional pet sitter. She was so sweet to Cindy and I could tell my cat just loved her. Jen really knows her stuff - definitely would rebook!”
“Heather was outstanding! Not only was she patient with me, the helicopter mom, but she was kind and gentle with my cats, whom I hate leaving. I knew they were in trusted and kind hands with her - she even made an effort to go and pet my very shy kitty who was in the closet when she would arrive. She even re-filled my bird feeder outside that my cats love watching all day, even though she didn’t have to. Could depend on her if there was an emergency. Thank you Heather - will book you again!”
“Communication with Danielle was prompt, thorough, and clear. She took good care of our cat and kitten and gave them love and attention. No problems or concerns whatsoever. I will definitely request her services again next time. Highly recommend!”
“Mary Alice was great. She asked the correct questions in the initial visit, which made it clear that she really knew what she was doing- and one of my very shy cats immediately sniffed her and let Mary Alice pet her. The house was actually cleaner when I got home than I'd left it! I was able to be gone and not constantly terrified for my two little voids, both of whom are quite old. Would definitely book again.”
“Nicole was a wonderful sitter! She responded daily with photos and daily progress reports!”
“2nd time working with Beth and everything went perfect just like the first time! I know when I book with Beth my girls(2 kitties) will be taken care of!”
About: I’ve helped care for each family dog that’s come and gone since I was young, as well as the family cats. A few years ago chickens and goats got added into the mix too. I also tend to help with my sisters 4 large dogs. About a year and a half ago I started dog sitting for my neighbor and have been doing so every other weekend since then. I also pet sitted here on this app almost all of 2021 before becoming too busy with college. I have now graduated and am getting back into pet sitting for an undetermined amount of time. I’m currently still living at my parents, and working two part time jobs. I still have a decent amount of time left in my daily day to day and am looking to make more money so I thought starting up pet sitting again would work well. We have a large fence your dog can play in as well as walks on a leash outside the fence or in the trails of our woods. Lots of sights and smells for your pup to discover! I would not be comfortable letting our dog be around any pets I take care of. Diesel would either be crated or in the fence while your pets are here. We have goats which are fenced in as well as chickens. Our house is fairly large and the pets I take care of would be allowed to go anywhere except one room where we would keep our house cat in since sadly she is not a big fan of other pets. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Let me know what you're looking for and we can discuss schedule time and routing. I can do my best to fit my schedule into your fur baby schedule. I have two fence in yard to provide safety for those who doesn't get along with others. I also have two dogs of my own which probably won't be alot of fun. My beagle is usually sleeping in the house all day as for the husky she usually laying in the back yard squirrel hurting. I can create your fur baby at night or provide a dog bed. I do allowed fur babies to sleep in the bed only with fur parents permission. My fur babies are not snugglers so they choose to sleep on their dog beds.

Madelyn K.
“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”
Ella K.
“Ella has grown up around dogs her whole life, having 4 at one point. She pet (and house) sits for my now 3 when I go on trips. One of my dogs has high anxiety and takes a daily prescription med. She is responsible, reliable, and loving towards all animals. Pets are a great judge of character, and I’ve never seen an animal or pet shy away from her. The summer after high school she provided pet (and house) sitting services to many of my co-workers, she was booked for MONTHS, and highly sought after. Our pets are members of our families; I trust and highly recommend her to treat yours as if they’re a part of her family ♥️”

“I believe Abby treats dogs and other animals with respect and care. She is well-educated on dog breeds and knows what to do with dogs. Every dog I’ve seen her meet has been instantly attracted to her, including my own dog.”
Susan P.
“Susan is , quite simply, the most incredible pet sitter you will ever find. I hardly know how to begin to describe her pet sitting abilities. She has taken care of my dogs for years--sometimes even on short notice, When I first got her to dog sit, I had two very easy, laid back dogs- an old Lab and an old Plott Hound. After they were gone I got a Pitt Bull Mix ( also very easy) and a Malinois mix who is the most high maintenance, high energy dog I have ever had. Susan was a trooper from day one --throwing frisbee, going for walks, taking her for rides, and field trips to Lowes--and of course, loving her. Both dogs adore her---and she them. I never have to be concerned about anything when I leave them with her. She follows feeding and outing routines scrupulously. She goes beyond what any other dog sitter would do, including filling in holes that the PB mix dug in the back yard! She sends me pictures of the dogs playing and evening pictures of them in quiet repose. And did I mention, she's also good with cats! I can't say enough good things about Susan and her pet sitting. She will spoil you for ever having another sitter! Just like the Allstate Ins. ad, "They're in good hands with Susan"!”
