“Andrea was very helpful guiding me through the process of Rover. As a first time user, I wasn’t sure how everything worked and she explained everything completely. She welcomed my two fur babies into her home for a week while my husband and I were out of the country. I was a little hesitant since it was my first time leaving them with anyone, but she was very reassuring that they were in good hands. While away she messaged us with updates and pictures. Upon picking them up she told us how much she enjoyed watching them. We highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking.”
“Cristina was absolutely wonderful with our senior girl! She sent lots of photos and updates throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a smile and could immediately tell our pup was in caring hands. Cristina was patient, kind, and attentive to our old girl’s needs, and we truly did not worry about her for a single moment while we were away. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely, and now we’re actually looking forward to planning more trips knowing our dog will be so well cared for. Highly recommend!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds! I have experience with mediation management and administration and am comfortable caring for medically complex or senior pets :) I work full time but do work from home about 75% of the time at least so I am home most of the day to care for your pets! I have two friendly dogs and two dog-savvy cats who get along with everyone! I can easily crate or separate animals into separate spaces in my home if the need arises
“Garrett and his wife, Rachel, were wonderful with our older dog, Buster! Rachel welcomed Buster when he selected her as his “surrogate owner” for the weekend and followed her everywhere she went. 😀 Buster not only got fabulous care from both Garrett and Rachel, but their dog, Dax, was a sweetheart and provided Buster with both socialization and exercise while they played in their fenced in back yard. Although this was the first time using Garrett as a care provider, we will definitely be back and highly recommend,….”
“Tara accommodated us with a last minute reservation. She kept us updated about Maggie’s stay by sending us pictures. Maggie loves being with Tara and we feel confident that she is given the best care!”

Prices are estimates per visit. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: While I am primarily a dog owner, I am comfortable feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic care, and spending time with cats to ensure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I respect their individual comfort levels—whether they enjoy playtime and attention or prefer a quieter visit. My goal is to provide reliable care, maintain their routine, and give owners peace of mind through updates and photos during each visit.
“James was excellent! He helped us last minute and jumped right in. My dogs love him. He sent pictures of them throughout the week and made sure to let us know how they were doing. Definitely plan to book again and would recommend to friends/family!!”
About: My résumé includes dogs, cats, muddy boots, mystery noises in barns, and convincing animals that the thing they absolutely do not want to do is actually a great idea. I've learned that patience, consistency, and a pocket full of treats or a favorite toy solve most problems. Animals have always been a huge part of my world. On any given day, I might be caring for horses, spending time with my dogs and cats, or helping a nervous animal feel comfortable in a new situation. I understand that every pet is different. Some want a long walk and a game of fetch. Some want a quiet companion who respects their space. Some have very strong opinions about breakfast arriving precisely on time. I have experience caring for animals of all ages, from energetic youngsters to seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with large dogs, multi-pet households, and pets with established routines that need to be followed carefully. Friends often describe me as observant and dependable. I pay attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's personality. Whether your pet is an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a lovable troublemaker, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. As a lifelong animal owner, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I will treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own. I currently have flexible availability most days of the week and can often accommodate pet care requests around my existing animal care responsibilities. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and showing up when expected. Beginning in August, my availability will shift as I start graduate school, and I will primarily be available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I believe in being upfront about scheduling and only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can count on reliable care and clear communication. Every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow it as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and attention tailored to their personality. Some pets want to play, some want belly rubs, and some prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. For walks, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I pay attention to weather conditions, energy levels, and each dog's comfort and confidence. I also keep an eye on the little things. As someone who has cared for animals for many years, I know that changes in appetite, energy, mobility, or behavior can be important. If I notice something unusual, I will communicate it promptly. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the household itself. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away, and for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it.
“Isabella was a terrific choice to care for our five cats. We appreciated her efforts to ensure our more shy, older cats were fed, while our younger cats devoured their dinner. She definitely met all of our cat sitting needs while we were away from home. We would gladly have Isabella return.”
About: As a certified cat care specialist, I take pride in understanding and catering to each feline's unique personality. I have experience fostering shy and anxious cats and know how to build trust with even the most timid ones. My time are tailored to your cat's needs, whether that's play, gentle brushing, or simply providing a calm, comforting presence. I am very detail-oriented and will follow your routine closely to ensure your cat feels safe and relaxed while you're away.
“Trina takes the best care of my puppers when we are away. They always seem so happy to see her and we are ever so grateful for her help each time. She goes above and beyond to make sure their needs are met and they are looked after each visit! Thank you!!!! 😊”
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals, I provide loving, dependable, and professional pet sitting services you can trust. I have a natural connection with animals—many clients jokingly call me an “animal whisperer” because of my calm, patient approach and ability to make even shy or anxious pets feel comfortable and safe. I am kind, compassionate, punctual, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether your furry family member needs walks, playtime, medication administration, cuddles, or simply a reassuring presence while you’re away, I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to their unique needs. Reliability and professionalism are at the heart of everything I do. You can enjoy peace of mind knowing your beloved companions are receiving exceptional care, plenty of love, and the respect they deserve in a safe and nurturing environment. Work full time with an hour lunch. I’m available before and after work and pending location I could stop by during my lunch break if needed Sorry, I do not offer boarding in my home at this time but it may be an option in the future depending on the situation
“Rheanna was a wonderful sitter! She checked on my cats on time and sent lots of communicatio about how they were and sent lots of pictures. She fed them as instructed and cleaned up the mess they made. She even noticed my dryer was still running and turned it off for me! I would definitely book with Rheanna again.”
“Sara was great with our two kitties. She sent pictures for every visit and we could see that the kitties were very happy with her too. Thanks Sara. We'll need you again soon.”
About: I have had pets (dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, etc.) all my life. I have taken care of many of my friends pets while they have been away. I enjoy caring for animals and will treat them as if they were my own. I work full time during the week so I will be only offering weekend services as of now so that I can offer the best care possible. I have services for in home care. I will visit your fur baby multiple times a day and let them out or take them for walks. I will give them all the love they deserve.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, from small breeds to large, so I’m comfortable caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. I currently have an 11-month-old black Lab that I adopted from the Charlottesville SPCA, and together we’ve completed puppy training and loose-leash walking. My experience with training, combined with my lifelong love for dogs, means I’m patient, attentive, and ready to meet your pet’s needs. I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily work around your routine to provide reliable, personalized care for your pup! I’m currently working part time, so I have lots of extra time in my schedule to give your pup the love and attention they need! Again, my work schedule is pretty flexible, so I can find times throughout the day/week/weekend that work the best for you! In my home I have an extremely friendly and energetic 11 month old black lab, who would love to be your dog’s play mate. I also have a size large crate available if that is something your dog requires. Normally, my dog and I go out for 3 or 4 30ish minute walks a day, accompanied by lots of fetch and tug, and on weekends love going on longer hikes!
About: I’m different from other cat sitters because I don’t just “check in” on cats—I take the time to truly care for them. I understand that every cat has their own personality, routines, and boundaries, and I respect all of it. Whether your cat is playful, shy, anxious, or a total diva, I move at their pace and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and litter habits, give genuine affection (when welcomed), and always prioritize a calm, clean environment. To me, cat sitting isn’t just a job—it’s building trust with your cat and peace of mind for you. 🐾
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets I work from home so I am fully available during the week and the weekends and I’m flexible with any schedule that my customers need. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly French bulldog to give your pet some company and I can create your dog any time if needed.
“We were very pleased with the care she provided to our kitten. She took care of her as if she was her own. Providing pics of her while we were away helped but our minds at ease.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and my love for animals has only grown stronger into adulthood. I’m passionate about learning about and understanding all types of animals. My experience in pet care comes from raising my own pets, caring for those of family and friends, and working at multiple animal shelters over the years. I also grew up on a farm surrounded by a variety of animals, which gave me hands-on experience from a young age. In addition, I worked at PetSmart for two years. Currently, I have one dog, two cats, and fish, all of which I care for daily. i have 3 dogs and one cat and i also have hamsters so i’m constantly doing something that involves fur babies at home or even at work. I have a yard but it’s not fenced so the pups will have to be leashed when taken out but we have a dog park a mile down the road and I take my pups everyday and they love it! I also have a bunch of treats and toys that my fur babies are happy to share and more love to come with that!

About: I've always liked to rescue animals and care for them from a young age. So lots of my family and friends would bring animals to me or trust me to petsit for them. I've not only cared for dogs and cats, but also turtles, toads, and a few birds. I'm currently solely attending classes so I have plenty of availability for your pets to always feel well cared for during their stay with me! I have a fenced patio, luckily there are a few pet friendly parks that surround me. I follow any instructions given for your pet care to a T since no one knows your pet like you do. I have a housemate, but she is just as loving to any animal brought in.
“Anna was great taking care of our dog Mila, she informed us how it was going and even though it was Mila's first experience and she was nervous, Anna knew how to handle the situation. I definitely recommend Anna.”
“Absolutely amazing job! I will definitely be using her the next time I'm in need of this service. As someone with an ESA pet, his will being is important to me and she made the day worry free.”
“Hayley and her husband were lifesavers for me today. I had to start a job and only had about twenty minutes to find someone. They were ready and willing. My baby girl had such a great day that she was asleep before we got to their stop sign! ??. I would definitely use them again.”
About: I am passionate about providing peace of mind to pet owners knowing they can leave their fur babies in the comfort of their own home, or mine, to be cared for while they are away, rather than a stressful boarding facility. I have experience with a large variety of pets and am very comfortable with the differences animals can have. From the shy guys who need a little patience, to the seniors who need a little extra tlc, to the puppies still learning their manners❤️ I currently work part time as a caregiver and have a very flexible schedule. I enjoy providing quality pet care for clients needing daily walks or vacation care. I pride myself on caring for others pets the same way I care for my own. Quality care, trust and reliability are of the utmost importance to me.

About: I love animals! I grew up with pets and have helped care for them since I was about ten years old. For the past three years I’ve been boarding pets regularly at my home :) I’m a stay at home parent, so I’m home most days all day! Occasionally I take my child to activities but I’m never gone from the house for more than 4 hours. I have a large fenced in backyard and a kid who loves animals too! I have years of experience caring for pets and will treat your pet like they’re my own :)

Recently retired and home 24/7. I have a super flexible schedule to allow for plenty of play time and walks around my farm. Must be cat friendly as I also work with cat rescue organizations and have 2 inside cats of my own. I have a super large, fenced yard with two 7 year old Border Collies who get along with everyone and everything. In addition, I have a large screened porch for an additional space. I love walks and can take yours, too, for no additional charge.

Any routines that the pet normally has I can continue while you are away! My dog’s health is important to me and I know how important schedules are so I will be sure to follow them to the best of my ability!
About: All my life I have had some sort of animal in my home. At one time my family fostered dogs and I loved it! I can’t wait to met all kinds of pets! It fits into my routine because I have time in the mornings or nights to either walk or take care of these animals. It will fit right in! My dogs are never outside unsupervised and I always am watching them to ensure their safely and mine. I take safety very seriously with my animals.
About: I currently have four dogs: two seven-year-old Cane Corsos, a rescued American Bully (estimated 10+ years old), and an eight-year-old retired Catahoula who, since his retirement, is more interested in my wife and food than anything else.

I can administer medications, handle pets with special needs, and provide a level of care and service above what’s typical, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I can also handle deliveries that require signatures, escort service technicians or other personnel during appointments, and attend to anything else that may arise at your home while you’re away — providing a truly comprehensive level of service. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to focus on providing this high-end, comprehensive care. While my rates are higher than some on this app, they reflect the level of care, attention, and experience I provide — and I’m confident you’ll find the value well worth it.

My schedule is very flexible and I likely can accommodate your needs almost anytime. I am quick to respond. Just let me know how I can help you!

My schedule is set for each week, so my availability will be posted well in advance. I make sure to keep a consistent eye on animals even if they seem to be low maintenance. That includes indoor/outdoor time and during walks. If you have any safety concerns regarding your pet, just reach out.

I work part-time and I’m a part-time student, so I have plenty of time to take care of your beloved animals! I’m extremely flexible and most hours of the day, available. I am a firm believer in outside time, so I value walking and playing outside as much as possible. I’m not scared of cleaning up mud either. Making sure that your animal is safe, happy, and healthy are my top 3 priorities.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, from small breeds to large, so I’m comfortable caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. I currently have an 11-month-old black Lab that I adopted from the Charlottesville SPCA, and together we’ve completed puppy training and loose-leash walking. My experience with training, combined with my lifelong love for dogs, means I’m patient, attentive, and ready to meet your pet’s needs. I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily work around your routine to provide reliable, personalized care for your pup! I’m currently working part time, so I have lots of extra time in my schedule to give your pup the love and attention they need! Again, my work schedule is pretty flexible, so I can find times throughout the day/week/weekend that work the best for you! In my home I have an extremely friendly and energetic 11 month old black lab, who would love to be your dog’s play mate. I also have a size large crate available if that is something your dog requires. Normally, my dog and I go out for 3 or 4 30ish minute walks a day, accompanied by lots of fetch and tug, and on weekends love going on longer hikes!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of personal attention and care I give to each pet. I take time to learn their routine, quirks and comfort needs so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I have experience with both tiny puppies and kittens feeding bottles. To senior pets who need a little extra patience and gentle care. I’m reliable, attentive to detail, and treat every animal like my own—making sure they get plenty of love, playtime, and comfort no matter their age or energy level. While working part- time at D6 teaching. I take on a few side jobs, I am a nanny, house sitter and decal maker have more free time and availability! I have one dog and three outdoor cats. I also have a large fenced in backyard with lots of room to play and make themselves at home!
About: I’m very reliable and caring with all pets. I pay close attention to their needs and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior pets, including following routines, giving extra attention, and handling basic training or special care when needed. I am currently in school part time so I’m pretty flexible for the most part! I have classes every weekday until about 12:20 in the afternoon. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime and exercise, and receive lots of attention. I keep their space clean and safe, follow any instructions the owner provides, and give updates to make sure owners feel comfortable while they’re away.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I grew up on a family farm and have raised and taken care of many pets of all shapes and sizes.

About: Hi! My name is Morgan, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, basic care, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to following your pet’s routine so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Pet care is naturally set into my daily and weekly routine. I schedule my day around feeding times, walks, play time, and check-ins to ensure every pet gets consistent care. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to exercise, enrichment, and cuddles, while afternoons include potty breaks, supervision, and rest time. My schedule is flexible and intentionally designed so I can give every animal the attention, and time they deserve. When pets stay in my home, I create a safe, supervised, and comforting environment set to their needs. I maintain clean spaces, provide cozy rest areas, and offer play time. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and preferred activities, so their stay feels familiar and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine uninterrupted. I handle feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, medication, playtime, and any specific instructions exactly as provided. I also respect the home environment by keeping everything tidy and secure. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on communication, safety, and reliable, compassionate care that helps pets feel calm, comfortable, and understood.

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, beginning with early exposure to veterinary clinics where I spent time shadowing and learning animal handling and care from a young age. This foundation grew into professional veterinary technician experience, where I worked with dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs, including senior pets, puppies, and animals requiring daily medications or specialized care. In addition to my veterinary background, I volunteered with a service dog organization where I raised and trained future guide dogs. This experience strengthened my skills in leash training, socialization, crate training, and positive reinforcement methods while working with high-expectation working dogs in real-world environments. I also actively continue dog training as a personal passion and have earned three AKC Trick Dog titles with my own dog. Because of this, I’m very comfortable working with energetic dogs, reinforcing basic obedience, and providing structured enrichment during walks and visits. I currently share my home with two dogs and a cat, so I understand day-to-day pet care, multi-pet dynamics, and the importance of consistency and routine. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is always to provide safe, reliable, and attentive care whether that means a structured walk, a drop-in visit, medication administration, or simply making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I structure my day around consistency and flexibility. I am able to accommodate morning, midday, and afternoon visits, as well as regular walking schedules and drop-in care throughout the week. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can prioritize pet care visits and ensure pets receive attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship on time. I’m used to building my day around routines, whether that’s scheduled walks, feeding times, or medication needs. I value clear communication and reliability, and I make it a priority to be punctual and consistent with every visit so pets feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and secure while their owners are away. I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific care needs. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets receive attention, fresh water, feeding if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and any required medication. I also take time to provide companionship and help pets feel calm and comfortable before leaving. For dog walking, I focus on safe, structured walks that match the dog’s energy level and needs. I pay close attention to leash manners, surroundings, and each dog’s comfort level to ensure a positive experience. I always treat each home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and provide updates so owners feel informed and confident while they are away.

“Garrett and his wife, Rachel, were wonderful with our older dog, Buster! Rachel welcomed Buster when he selected her as his “surrogate owner” for the weekend and followed her everywhere she went. 😀 Buster not only got fabulous care from both Garrett and Rachel, but their dog, Dax, was a sweetheart and provided Buster with both socialization and exercise while they played in their fenced in back yard. Although this was the first time using Garrett as a care provider, we will definitely be back and highly recommend,….”
