My lifelong love for animals has led me to volunteer at local animal shelters since I was a teen. That hands-on experience has given me a deep understanding of animal personalities, proper handling, and their needs. As a mom to two wonderful kids and two equally wonderful dogs, my home is always filled with happy chaos! My commitment to animal welfare and high standard of care is what inspired me to launch Charlottesville Pet Concierge. I'm also proud to serve on the Board of Directors for the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA and regularly foster animals for our area rescues. With my hand-picked Care Team, you can rest assured your beloved companions will be cared for by truly passionate and experienced animal lovers. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry family!
I'm a lover of all animals (even the creepy crawly ones!) and I'm a mom to 3 cats and a dog at the moment. I'm love working with rescues and tough cases. I've rehabbed many pets. One of my cats was aggressive because he was fearful. He's now a love bug now that he's confident and knows he's safe. Thanks for letting me take care of your baby!
Animals (especially dogs) are my passion. I have 4+ years of grooming/bathing experience. In addition, I have worked at pet stores and boarding facilities. I'm a father of our 5 year old son, as well as our 6 year old, 4-legged scruffy princess. I trained her to nose touch, sit, lay down, shake paw, jump/stand, roll over, and more. Music, animals, and my family are my biggest passions, and I look forward to spending time with your precious pets--treating them with the same love I would show a member of my own family.
I grew up in rural Illinois where there wasn’t much around other than animals and corn fields. From the farms to the wildlife to pets, I wanted to be friends with every animal that I could find. As someone who enjoys distance running, my favorite runs consist of cows in fields running alongside me and dogs running from their porches to get some quick pets. I have always fulfilled my love for animals through pet sitting for family and friends. When I moved to Virginia, I just couldn’t give that up. I love getting to meet new pet friends and caring for them as if they were my own!
Growing up in Croatia, my childhood was enriched by the presence of animals. Upon moving to Greece after my engagement with my now husband, my compassion grew for the stray dogs and cats that roamed the neighborhood. We decided to start our own rescue, offering them love and care until we found them forever homes. Our dog Max, who has been a cherished part of our family for 15 years, is one we rescued and chose us. Now living in the US for the past 10 years and raising my two wonderful sons, I also enjoy gardening, traveling, and staying active.
I've had every type of pet imaginable growing up. From reptiles to rescues, house pets to farm animals–-at one point, we had 9 dogs at the same time! I've worked with animals with disabilities, medical and behavior issues–nothing fazes me. I love the challenge of figuring out the pets' needs and providing the best care possible.
I'm from the Hampton Roads area, but moved to Charlottesville to attend UVA. I've had dogs my whole life and have always had a passion for them. I spent time working at a doggy daycare with lots of dogs playing and having fun. I currently have two dogs back home, who I miss dearly. I love pet sitting to fill in for when I can't see my own pups. I will treat your pets like my own—like family.
I have lived in this area for the vast majority of my life. I have an teenage son, 5 cats, a snake, and a tarantula. I have always had a passion for all animals, but especially the fur babies (dogs, cats). I am excited to be on the Charlottesville Pet Concierge team in taking care of your babies while you’re away. My goals is for you to enjoy your time away without worrying about your fur babies.
I grew up at the Jersey Shore and moved to Virginia 25 years ago. There's nothing more peaceful than the mountain air and breathtaking sunsets we have! I'm a mom to three young adults and have had pets my entire life. My two fur babies are my world and when I'm not selling real estate, I love to snuggle and spend time with my girls. I love being in service to others, and what better way to give back than to care for your pets!
