Pet Sitting Unionville

“Our dog was happy to see you. Thanks for helping us take care of her.”

Carrie C.

“My baby boy has never been left alone before so this was very traumatic for him. He is a rescue with a ton of distrust of ppl and anxieties. Karmen was very sweet and kind to him, even though he would not allow her to pet him. She kept assuring him I would be home and kept showing him she was kind and caring. Karmen is AMAZING and clearly loves animals. She will definitely be the one I will choose again to watch my baby boy 🥰😘❤️”

About: I’ve had dogs of all breeds my whole life, and have been a pet sitter since I can remember. I have two high drive dogs that I’ve trained, and I’ve been a professional dog trainer for four years. I have lots of repeat clients, referrals and reviews, as well as have worked with/dog sat for a wide range of ages and breeds. I currently have a job that allows for me to work from home and I have a lot of morning, afternoon/evening availability as well as the weekends for dog walking or any drop in visits. When coming to your home, I can take your dog out for a walk, run, play, or just sit with them pending their energy level/age.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience with all breeds, sizes and personalities. I currently have a Great Dane, Cane Corso, and Chihuahua, so I am very comfortable with large strong dogs, and all the personality that comes with them! I also own a cat and have been around cats a majority of my life. I truly enjoy being around animals and getting to know their individual character, quirks, and routines. Your pet will be treated like one of my own! I am currently available full time, so pet care can easily fit into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is very flexible and I am more than willing to work around difficult schedules. When caring for a pet in someone’s home I treat their space and their pet with the same care and respect I would treat my own. I will do my best to keep their pet in their usual routine to make them feel the most at home and comfortable. Communication is very important to me, and I am willing to adapt and put in lots of effort to provide the kind of care each client expects for their pet.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and provided medications when needed including pills, eye drops, and shots! I also am flexible to what your pet’s routine already is! I’m home for summers from college (Go Dukes) and I’ve always loved animals, so pet-sitting is my only job over this time! I’m available all days throughout the week! When you’re vacationing in the summer I will look after your pets and give you peace of mind with pictures I take of them and I always leave your house looking like I was never even there!

“Thanks again for taking care of the dogs on short notice!”

About: I stand out because I offer a tailored, loving approach to every pet I care for. Whether it's training puppies, providing gentle senior care, or giving extra attention to pets with special needs, I’m committed to ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, happy, and loved. I also prioritize clear communication with pet parents, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priority! As a freelance worker and part-time golf course employee, my schedule isn’t your typical 9-5 and allows me the flexibility to work in pet care. I found that my schedule allows me to find time for walks, playtime, or overnight stays. My ability to manage multiple jobs means I’m highly organized and committed to providing the best care while giving your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it's during my free time or between shifts, I'm always ready to care for your furry friend! When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize maintaining the safe, comfortable, and familiar environment they are used to. I follow all specific routines or instructions provided, ensuring their feeding, exercise, and playtime schedules are maintained. I offer plenty of attention and affection to help reduce any stress from being away from their owners. I also keep the home tidy, including cleaning up after the pet, refreshing the litter box, or doing any other small tasks as needed. Regular updates with photos or messages will also keep you informed on how your pet is doing. My goal is to make you feel secure and your pet feel loved while you're away!

About: As a mature long time pet owner with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, I understand the level of trust involved in leaving your pets and home in someone else’s care. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve provided dependable in-home dog and cat sitting through personal referrals over the years. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, relaxed, and on their normal routines while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, communicative, and genuinely enjoy providing calm, personalized care for animals in a familiar home environment. I am available for drop in visits to your home at various times of the day, 7 days a week. Travel over 10 miles from my home adds $5 travel expense. I provide calm, reliable care in your home designed to keep your pets comfortable in their familiar routine. Visits include feeding, fresh water, litter care, exercise or play tailored to your pet, and attentive companionship based on their personality and needs. I maintain a clean, organized home environment and closely observe each pet’s well-being. You’ll also receive consistent updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I believe you treat all animals like if they are your pet. I’m known to overly spoil my animals with love, funny voices, and care. I will keep you updated with pictures and videos and your pets are in exceptional care. I have an open schedule to cover their needs and care while I’m on duty and they become my family for the time they are with me. I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for over 15 years typically small and medium sized dogs. I do have experience with some larger breeds on basic essential needs and care. I went through a battle of IVDD with my French Bulldog who passed which took a role on how I view the time with animals in general. I have an open schedule and extremely accommodating to your needs. I can work around the necessary schedule. I work this full time and if I don’t have any sitting I also run deliveries. I have a safe and trusted environment. I have one dog who gets along with other dogs but he is hyper and wants to play and nap consistently. I have a cat who does her own thing so my house is relaxed. No little kids and just me and my partner which she works from home so there’s always someone at home.

“Emily did a great job of taking care of my cat for a couple days. She communicated well and sent good photos. My cat was fed and happy.”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Matisa was professional, reliable, and genuinely cared about my dog. Matisa provided regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was happy, well cared for, and received plenty of attention and affection. I came home to a relaxed, healthy pup, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Matisa again. Highly recommend Matisa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats from all walks of life and at all stages of life for the last twelve years! I am currently working part-time, so am flexible with scheduling for both weekdays and weekends during the day and evenings, as well! I am also available for overnight sitting. In my experience, each doggo and kitty has their own needs, which help them flourish best, so I abide by each fur baby’s routine and comfort level!

About: I've had taken care of animals for over 20 plus years. Im also a certified vet assistant as well. Love all animals and would love to meet yours! Im currently unemployed so I would be able to do anytime of the day. I do have 2 chihuahuas of my own as well that I absolutely adore. I unfortunately do not have a fenced in yard at my home but I do take my dogs out regularly on leash. But they also have free roam of the entire house.

About: Hi there! I'm an experienced and loving caretaker for dogs, cats, and all kinds of pets: including chickens, horses, and even the occasional bunny! I don’t do this for the money, I truly find joy in playtime, long walks, and making sure animals feel safe, happy, and loved. I must’ve been a dog in a past life! I know trusting a new sitter can feel nerve-wracking, so I always like to start with a phone call and an in-person meet & greet to make sure we’re a great fit for each other. I put a lot of time and love into each Rover family, getting to know your pets and their unique differences. Each Rover stay feels like its own little adventure, and I truly enjoy every one :) I have years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets as well as those of friends, and I’ve helped train and nurture many puppies along the way. I’m knowledgeable in grooming, basic training, and behavior support, and I bring a calm, empathetic energy to every pet I meet. My background includes work as a supplement advisor at a health food store, where I gained experience with holistic remedies and supplements—including CBD—to help pets with anxiety, pain, and general wellness. I now work remotely in environmental sustainability, which gives me a super flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood perfect for long walks or runs, and your pet will have plenty of love from my partner and animal-loving friends while you're away. Whether your pet needs cuddles, structure, medicine, exercise, or just good company, I’ve got it covered. A couple of notes: I’m not able to accept bookings in homes that use synthetic air fresheners or otherwise strong/harsh scents (unless it can be unplugged or not used beforehand) as it disrupts my ability to be comfortable! I generally prefer stays longer than a single night but will consider one offs especially for repeat clients! Thank you for understanding. NOTE: I am still taking bookings in Asheville, NC - I will travel to you! I am currently living with my partner in Charlottesville VA I happen to work remotely from my computer with a schedule I determine myself. So I am very flexible and able to give lots of attention. I know it can be nerve wracking for your pets and I always meet your pet where they are. I understand that all pets are different with varying emotional and physical needs. I am very empathetic, understanding, and attentive when it comes to adjusting my care per animal. I am active person and love to take dogs on walks but if that’s not their jam, I am happy to curl up with a book on the couch with them.

About: I have 3 years of professional experience working in the animal industry and currently work at a veterinary hospital, where I provide hands-on care to a variety of pets every day. My experience has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, safety, and the individual needs of different pets. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including pets who may require extra patience, medication, or specialized care. Working in a veterinary environment has also taught me how to recognize changes in behavior or health and respond appropriately when a pet may not be feeling their best. When caring for your pets, my priority is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow detailed instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and other specific needs. You can feel confident knowing that your pets are in the care of someone with professional animal-care experience who genuinely enjoys helping animals and treating every pet as if they were my own. Depending on my schedule I work from 7am - 3pm or 8am - 5pm, before or after my regular job I am free to hang out with your fuzzy guy! I care for pets in my clients’ homes by keeping them comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow each pet’s individual care instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while their owners are away. With 3 years of experience in the animal industry and my current work at a veterinary hospital, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of personalities and needs. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, or other signs that something may be wrong, and I communicate with the owner promptly if I have any concerns. I also treat my clients’ homes with the same respect and care I give their pets, keeping things clean and secure and providing updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I believe my pet care experience sets me apart because of the unparalleled attention to detail, extensive knowledge and genuine passion I have for all animals. Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine by carefully planning and organizing my schedule to accommodate the needs of the pets I care for. I prioritize the well being of my fur babies and clients pets by creating a loving and safe environment and meeting all of their physical and emotional needs
