1. Jaime F.
“Jaime was wonderful with Sophie and a pleasure to work with! She found a way to make things work that had at first looked like they might be a stumbling block logistically, and she made Sophie’s walk fun despite the great heat. We all look forward to our next adventures with Jaime!”
2. Amanda C.
“Amanda was great with Sampson and she was so detailed in the updates about her walk! She was wonderful to have for Sampson while I had to work the holidays!”
3. Dakota W.
“Dakota connects well with our dog Patrick and is able to re-direct him when he wants to just turn around and come home. Our pup can be just one small ball of over excitement and exuberance and they handle that well. Dakota has been very reliable and always lets me know if he needs to adjust the time a bit.”

About: I am an Army Veteran that met my dog, Raleigh, while volunteering at an animal shelter. She has been with me as I transitioned out of the military, through undergrad, and law school. Throughout the journey she taught me many lessons - about love, compassion, joy, and equanimity. We've learned many commands and tricks, been on countless runs and hikes, and all around have a good time. But, as we have aged together, I have also learned how to administer weekly shots, to give daily medications, to attend-and practice- physical therapy, and assist with getting onto couches, beds, etc. Every animal is unique. But I promise to care for yours as much as I do my own. “He who is kind to animals heaven will protect.” I currently have a flexible schedule and am widely available. I am taking an extended period of time off before starting my next job and I absolutely love spending time with animals. It's a lot more fun-and rewarding- than most legal work :) I love playing with both older and younger pets, and I’m mindful of any physical limitations your furry family member may have. I’ve taught my own dog (Raleigh) several commands and tricks for both mental stimulation and safety. I am happy to learn and then use what you have already taught your pet. Or, as I have done with friends' dogs, try to set up a good baseline for us to all learn together! I am mindful of interactions with other animals or people. My Raleigh loves people, but is 50/50 with other dogs because she has been attacked in the past (unfortunately, I’m not able to host pets in my own home at this time because of this). I know some dogs are the complete opposite and will gladly encourage or discourage social interaction according to their- and your- needs. I am also aware some dogs, especially rescues, have triggers. One I learned while at the shelter was that some dogs disliked men in baseball hats. I was sure to not wear one with those it bothered. So, I will always listen to you and respect instructions to provide safety and trust among us.

About: Pet sitting has been a part of my life for my friends and family members for many years. My dog Ryder is a 10 year old rescue. I have experience with all ages of pets. By working part-time during the week and weekends off it gives me flexibility in scheduling your pets care and needs for morning, midday and evenings while you are away. It’s important to me to know your pets favorite activities and to keep them on their daily schedule such as bathroom breaks, feeding schedule, treats and activities.
6. Michael M.
“Michael was great with Finn!”
7. Dakota R.
“Dakota was great and super easygoing. With high-energy dogs we really appreciate that. She dealt expertly with our duo and was even willing to come by beforehand for a meet and greet even though we booked on a short notice. Will book again.”
8. Lauren C.
“Lauren is wonderful! She communicates clearly and in a timely fashion. I feel fortunate that she is walks my dogs. I can tell that she cares about doing what is best for them as she really took the time to learn about their quirks. I would definitely recommend Lauren!”
9. Cory P.
“Thank you for the amazing job as always!”
10. Vanessa C.
“Vanessa was great with our dog, coming over twice a day to feed and walk. She is friendly, punctual and communicative...highly recommended!”
11. Brittney P.
“Brittney was fantastic. She supervised our puppy while my fiancé and I did engagement photos. She brought her own homemade treats which he loved. Brittney made our lives immensely easier that day and clearly enjoys caring for dogs. If I lived in Charlottesville, I would trust my dog with her all the time.”
12. Kirsten L.
“Kirsten has loved animals from an early age, but gravitated towards dogs. She has an amazing Golden (Zoe) and would have more if space allowed. Becoming a pet sitter gives her the opportunity to share her love for dogs, but return them when services are complete. Win. Win.”
13. Zoe P.
“Zoe has taken care of my animals for a number of years. They all love her and she does a great job taking care of them. Manages any medications well too!”
14. Allison P.
“Allison has been so great with our 6 month old pup. It is such a relief to be able to leave him with someone trustworthy and competent like Allison on the days we have to work. I recommend her whole-heartedly!”
15. Jessica M.
“Jessica was so great with Rugby! He was a little stressed out at first and she made him feel right at home. She came to watch him at a concert I was playing and was great reading his cues. She made sure he had fun and didn't join in on the singing (barking) too much, and it was great not having to worry about him while I was playing.”
16. Hannah V.
“Hannah was so sweet with the dogs! They were happy to see her. Right on time!”
17. Will P.
“Excellent experience, always on time, my doggie had a blast with Will. Will definitely hire him again.”
18. Enrique C.
“Enrique is a caring and attentive person. He loves dogs and is very good with them. He was very patient and understanding with my nervous dog. I recommend him highly!”
19. Ana T.
“Ana is incredibly responsive and responsible and her love and attentiveness to dogs are impressive. I know all dogs that she looks after are safely and well taken care of. Ana is trustworthy, attentive, and goes above and beyond in all ways. I consider anyone that has Ana looking after their dog (or dogs) extremely fortunate!”
20. Tiffanny M.
“Tiffanny was my dog Winston’s foster mom for about a month before I adopted him and was so amazing with him! She gave him his first real home and made him feel so loved and comfortable. Her and her family are so generous and still dog sit for us and Winston always loves getting to spend time with them!”
