“Jaime watched my baby monthly and there is no one I would trust more. She takes such attention to detail with the instructions I leave.”

“Working with Kayla at a dog daycare allowed me to see first hand how caring and passionate she is about animals. She has years of experience in administering medicine, walking, and boarding of both cats and dogs. She has more experience taking care of animals then many people her age, and any pet that she meets seems to warm up instantly to her.

“Chelsea loves both dogs and cats. She has cared for my cat (Winter) on several occasions whenever I am on vacation, or visiting with friends and family. I know that Winter is in excellent hands when I leave her under Chelsea's care.”

“Caitlyn is a fantastic pet sitter! Not only does she take wonderful care of her own pups and cats, she has also cared for my dog Bella and our 3 cats when we've been away. She came highly recommended to me and I see why. She loves animals! She was also punctual, followed our instructions, and called us when she was concerned about one of our elderly cats. Because of her care and concern, he is still with us and we are so grateful. I can't recommend her enough.”

“I absolutely recommend Michelle!! She has great communication with her clients and is very caring, passionate and knowledgeable about animals! I felt very comfortable leaving my Chihuahua, cats and gecko in her care, I could tell how much she enjoyed them and treated them like her own.

About: Hello! My name is Gisselle and I am a third year college student at VCU pursuing a Health Services degree with the intention of going to grad school. I am looking to make some extra money while in school and am super passionate about dogs! I have 2 dogs named Landon(husky) and Scrappy (bernedoodle). My schedule varies, so please message me and we can discuss what you need and I will try to work with what you may need! I keep my pets safe at all times by making sure to keep an eye on them when they are outside and noticing any cues they may give me if something is wrong.

About: I have volunteered with animal rescues over the last five years. I have handled dogs of varying sizes, as well as cats. I have taken care of puppies at community events, and I have evaluated whether particular animals with their needs and wants would fit into a potential adopter's home. I have had cats and dogs all my life, but I have been the primary responsible person for my pets for ten years now. One of my dogs has allergies and requires sublingual meds twice a day. I have also given pills to both cats and dogs and had to follow strict dietary regimes. I work full-time Monday through Friday, so I am able to do pet care work Friday after work through Monday mornings. I do get an hour lunch, so I can come let dogs out for lunch on Mondays and Fridays if you are within fifteen minutes of my workplace. I can also do drop ins after work on weekdays, which may be preferred for cat care. I do not have space in my own home to watch your pets, so I will come to you. I do require a meet and greet for both our sakes, so I get to know you and your pets, and you get to know me before having me in your home without you there. I can scoop litter boxes, clean up pet messes, watch pets in a fenced yard, and walk small dogs and larger dogs (I can only walk larger dogs if they have good leash manners due to health reasons.). I will leave everything exactly as you left it.

“Michelle is 100% reliable and trustworthy. She is a dog owner. She is loving, caring, and is great at caring for pets. She'll represent Rover well.”
