“Jazmine did an amazing job watching our 11 year old chocolate lab. She was always right on time, gave great updates, and (at our request) spent extra time with him at her discretion. She was such a reliable and inviting person, and it made our vacation so much more enjoyable knowing our lab was taken care of! We will definitely be using Jazmine from here on out!”

“Randi was awesome! I don’t often leave my dog so I was fairly nervous to use a stranger. However, she came by while I was here to meet my dog, and watching her with him immediately put me at ease. We have already booked another session with her!”

“Pamela was excellent with my fur children! I couldn't have asked for a better sitter! From constant communication, daily pictures, clean dishes, and an empty litter box when I returned the kids were well taken care of and spoiled. I am so happy to have found my new furchildren sitter!”

Jade K.

“Christina was wonderful with our cat, Lynx. She asked all the right questions and paid close attention to our instructions. She sent us lots of sweet photos of our boy and was very communicative. We'll definitely be asking her to come back next time we are away!”

About: I am trained in Fear-Free and worked at an animal shelter for 3 years. You can rely on me to give medicine and provide typical daily care such as ear cleaning and nail trimming if desired. In addition, I will walk your pet as needed and provide socialization and enrichment. I am a mom of 2 dogs and 4 cats in addition to my own children. My furbabies are always taken care of as soon as I wake in the morning and multiple times throughout the day. I have high expectations for the care of my own pets that I will carry over into the care of any pets in my care. I will provide the care and love you want for your pet while they are being cared for by me. They will receive top-notch love and oversight in their own environment so that they can feel comfortable and at ease.

“Shannon came at requested times, sent pictures and noted how the cats were doing. Appreciated that she sat down and gave Houdini time to relax and come to her. Would use again.”

“Victoria has been our regular petsitter while we work. Our Cavalier, Louie, loves her! She is great with our dog, and has excellent communication with me. Victoria is always flexible if changes in our weekly schedule occur. She always informs me if something comes up and we need to adjust the days she pet-sits Louie. Victoria has such a special way with animals. I highly recommend her.”

“Alex is so great! He plays with the kitties and send pics and they seem well taken care of and so does the house! I feel so much better knowing Alex is there for the little monsters!”

Shanda F.

“Ash was so great! Going above and beyond to make sure our fur baby was taken care of! She communicated well with us and made sure our pet was loved! She really took the extra time to make sure our pet was safe and happy while we were on vacation. We could not recommend her enough!”

About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I wait to begin my career as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant in late August. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾

I provide pet care in Richmond and Charlottesville and the surrounding areas, though I am also happy to travel to other states with advanced notice. I have a breadth of experience caring for my former pets and my home, as well as house and pet sitting for friends and for my clients. I grew up on a farm and cared for goats, horses, cows, dogs, cats, sheep, and poultry.

I’m happy with staying overnight for housesitting or sharing my home for boarding! I have the utmost care and respect for my clients pets and homes and treat them as if they were my own. I make sure to communicate expectations as best as possible to make sure we’re all on the same page.

“Tess is an absolute lifesaver! She is our go-to when my work schedule conflicts with my husband's travel schedule. She comes by the house midday to let our Scarlet out and give her plenty of playtime, snuggles and treats, and sends us pictures and updates once the visit is complete. Such wonderful peace of mind knowing that our Scarlet is in good hands. Thank you x a million, Tess!”

“Madison was very accommodating, we did a meet and greet prior to our scheduled date for visiting she communicates well and sends pics of her loving on our babies 🥰”

“Michael is heaven sent. My boy, Weitzman, is a senior special needs pup. He needs a great deal of care and attention and not just any sitter is willing to take on the extra attention and work that’s needed. Michael enthusiastically has bonded with Weitzman and is giving Weitzman the close attention and care he needs. As a result, I have peace of mind that my baby is doing well, is safe, and is being properly cared for. I highly recommend Michael. He wants to get to know what your fur baby’s needs are so he can take good care of them. Thank you Michael for looking after my boy!”

Susan P.

“Chloe is fantastic! She is attentive, communicative, and so knowledgeable. I felt that my two dogs were in the best hands in her care. One of our pups is more shy and fearful. She was so loving and patient with her. Thank you for everything, Chloe!”

“Caitlyn was awesome in taking care of our elderly cat. She was dependable and took care of our cat as if it was her own. We highly recommend her and will be calling on her again.”

Joanne K.

“My Gosh she is good. I have never used Rover before so this was very different. My babies were always taken care of by family. Peyton became family to my dogs right away. I felt so comfortable while gone. I recommend her services! She came to our house 3 times a day. We will try her boarding next time. I think the dogs will have fun!”
