House Sitting in Venable, Charlottesville, VA

“Julia was so professional. She kept us updated twice a day on our dog’s routines - with pictures. We knew he was getting great care. Excellent and prompt communications. 5 stars!!”

“Alia was responsive and great with our senior dog over a three day weekend away! Highly recommend.”

“I absolutely recommend Morgan! She was professional, attentive, and communicative both before and throughout her stay with my dog. It was such a relief to know my dog was in caring hands, and I really appreciated how she took the time to send multiple photo updates. I look forward to working with Morgan again!”

“Mary did a great job house sitting our two pups while we were away. She listened carefully to everything we shared with her and followed through on everything we had asked for her help with. When we returned home, our pups were calm and happy, thanks to her having taken great care of them. And she thoughtfully gave us some welcome home ice cream and coffee! We highly recommend Mary for all your dog sitting and walking needs!”

“Rosey watched our cavapoo Dusty in our home for a week while we went on a cruise. We got many updates, pictures and the house was just as we left it when we got back. Dusty had a great time and our home was well taken care of. I would recommend Rosey to anyone for their house or pet sitting needs!”

About: I’ve watched many different breeds of dogs for neighbors, family, and friends for the last few years and have cat sit for several friends. I’m super reliable, trustworthy, and love to meet new pets. I currently work 9-5 during the week but work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am an early riser and generally have evening and weekend availability! In my current apartment, I’m not allowed to have a pet :( Growing up, I’ve always had dogs and cats and making sure they were always safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention and affection was super important for me. I like to be firm but caring with my own animals.

“Diego took great care of our pup. He was very good at keeping us updated while we were away and included many pictures in his updates. Our house was clean and tidy when we returned home.”

“Rebecca brings joy and focus to her time with our two dogs. She is an attentive sitter and capable and considerate house sitter and guest. Will very much look forward to future engagements.”

“Stephanie did an excellent job house sitting our two dogs for a weekend, one of which is a 4 month old puppy that requires a lot of patience.”

“Emily had the magic touch with my senior Westie and feisty Chihuahua mix. She knows how to build trust with animals and quickly established a bond with them both. Communications were excellent throughout her several day housesit-and I returned to a home in good order and welcomed by happy and healthy pets. Will look forward to our next engagement”

“MK was an amazing puppy sitter and I would certainly trust her and book again. She bonded with my dog immediately and was clearly knowledgeable and experienced at caring for dogs.”

“Kris is a wonderful dogsitter and walker. Great communicator and she prevented what could have been a really bad accident. She left our house pristine. Our goofy, energetic lab has loved her from the beginning.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. Currently, I have a 3 year old cat named Noodles who is my child that I love! It would be so much fun for me to take care of your pets and make sure they are happy while you're away. I am currently working part time and attending grad school at UVA. My grad school also requires for me to do clinical rotations which can make my schedule vary. I am typically free weekdays after 6 or 7pm, and I’m usually free almost anytime on the weekends. I will try my best to make a time that works for both you and your pet, and I will make sure to make them as happy as possible! I am currently living in an apartment with my cat. I believe in keeping a clean and safe environment for humans and pets to feel at ease. I’ve been watching over other people’s pets since I was in middle school, and I’d love to watch yours as well!

“Avantae was amazing. You could tell that she really cared for our dogs. She was consistently updating us with pictures and our house looked great when we got home. We would definitely use her again.”

“We felt at complete ease with our fur babies in Mariah’s care. She is an excellent communicator and checked in frequently with updates about our puppies. Mariah walked them often sent a steady stream of pictures and videos of our dogs. She enjoyed playing with them and kept up with their high energy/big dog personalities! She even vacuumed under the couch and retrieved toys from the “toy graveyard.” We will definitely ask Mariah to care for our dogs in the future!”

“Rachael was absolutely fantastic. I could tell right away she is a special person, who connects with dogs on a deep and meaningful level. I have three hounds on special diets, multiple supplements, and with special care needs. She was wonderful handling all of the above and keeping me updated with pics and stories. It was truly the first time in a LONG time that I felt comfortable leaving them. She also left our home spotless, and left a wonderful note. We’ve had the same sitter for almost 7 years, but she moved away a few years ago. Since then, We’ve been searching high and low for someone we can trust, and who will really care for our babies the way we do, and we believe we’ve found her- at long last !! Thank you Rachael !! ??”

“Zoe has taken excellent care of my labradoodle on multiple occasions. She makes sure our pup gets a lot of exercise and potty breaks and is great about sharing photos of their adventures. It's clear that she loves animals. I highly recommend her services.”

“Jay was awesome! He watched our dogs while we are out of town and sent lots of updates and pictures. I don’t think my dogs missed me at all, they had a blast!”

“Olivia was wonderful! She was very patient with my dog and in constant communication with me regarding his quirks. She is super accommodating and great to work with!”

“We are constantly so grateful for the love and care Emily gives to our boys. She is excellent in communication and checking in while we’re away. I cannot recommend her enough.”
