Cat Sitting in Amelia Court House

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for animals, I bring both reliability and genuine care to every pet I look after. I currently have two rescue tuxedo cats (one with only one eye and nearly blind) and a well-loved flock of 25 chickens, and I’ve spent the past five years dog sitting for friends and neighbors after many years of owning dogs myself. I’m very comfortable with different personalities and routines. I’m attentive and genuinely enjoy all animals. I will always make your pets feel safe and cared for with walks and plenty of playtime! I just retired after a 22 year career in marketing to watch my first grandchild part time- which gives me extra hours to help you with your pet care! I am as attentive to your fur babies as I am to my own. I genuinely love spending time with all animals and will take great care of yours, too!

“Crystal was great! Highly recommend! Very quick to respond. She came for a meet and greet. She asked questions and made us feel comfortable and reassured that our dog would be well taken care of. She sent pictures and let us know how he did every visit. We will be using her services in the future.”

About: My previous experience in pet care includes employment at Holiday Barn Pet Resorts as a pet care associate, volunteering at Richmond Animal League, and pet sitting for a wide variety of animals. Pet sitting for pets around my neighborhood was my first job! Growing up with pets of my own my whole life has also allowed me to become accustomed to caring for animals of all different sizes, ages, and temperaments. As a college student on summer break, I am opening my schedule up through mid-August and plan to fill my days/weeks with pet care services! Help me keep busy :) I am currently offering walks, drop ins, and/or overnight services, and I have experience with caring for pets in others’ homes. As of right now I am unable to provide boarding services.

About: Growing up my family always had at least one or more pets of various breeds so I have 20+ years of experience around animals. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, lizards, rabbits, goats, and hedgehogs. Personally, my husband & I have 2 dogs currently, 9 & 10 years old, one having epilepsy & is dependent on medication. I have helped raise/care for/train puppies, kittens, baby rabbits, & baby goats. The only pet I'm not comfortable with is snakes, my little sister has one but I only look at it from 3ft away in its enclosure, haha. I work part time Tu/W/Th 8A - 5P, I do not mind caring for pets those days, however I will be gone all day. Otherwise, I'm available for your pets needs! My personal routine with my pets: My husband helps me care for our pets daily but his schedule is a bit different than mine, so our dogs are let out at least within 4-6 hours those days. Otherwise, we let them out every 2-4 depending on their needs (which they have been trained to lets us know if they need to go sooner). Our medical dog is on a 12 hr medication schedule. I'd prefer to care in my clients home due to one of my dogs having a reactive past, it was quite a transition when we inherited our other dog. If you have a specific routine, I'm ready to follow it to the T! I'm comfortable walking dogs on leash, hanging out/playing with them in a fenced yard, or just chilling inside. As mentioned, I have experience with medically dependent pets. I have an escape artist, so I'm always vigilant of their proximity to me and prepared to run/chase in the event something happens. I can stay at the home with the pets or I can visit throughout the day!

“Carleen was accommodating and dependable! She took care of our cat while we were away and made sure everything was taken care of. Will definitely use again!”

About: I've been taking care of my own dogs, horses, cats, you name it, my whole life! I now have 2 precious golden retrievers who I'm obsessed with and would love to make a little extra money taking care of yours anytime! Hey families! I'm currently a nursing student and work full-time at a hospital, but I'm looking to make a little extra cash on my days off! I care for every pet as if they were my own by providing a safe, calm, and loving environment in both my home and my client’s home. I always follow the pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions.

About: I've had dogs since I can remember. My fiancé watched dogs in the past with rover and I would always help. Take the dogs to the park on my days off, play outside, and train them when needed. I am currently on veterans disability so I can focus my whole day to your furry friend. No worry about being stuck in all day. I have 5 acres of yard for them to play on. I have lots of space if needed, room for crates, room outside. Plenty of space so your furry friend won't feel trapped. My animals mind their own.

“Will absolutely book Tayana again. She went above and beyond for my senior dog and overall exceeded expectations. She is truly a gem!”

“Kelly was amazing! One of my cats is very timid around strangers and she warmed up to Kelly right away. Cats can sense a good cat person, and Kelly definitely is one. It was my first time leaving my cats alone for so long, but Kelly made me feel better by sending me pictures every visit and was easy to communicate with. She was even so kind as to water my plants for me. Next time I go out of town, I will absolutely hire her again!”

About: I have always loved animals since I was a little girl, and I am always looking for ways to spend more time with them in my freetime. I am a college student home for the summer available 7 days a week! I have a job during the day from about 10am 4 pm, but can visit before and after and during the late nights. I spend a lot of time with my dog Reese, and would always respect the homes of my clients and make sure they are comfortable.

About: I walk an Jog everyday. I love dogs a puppies and cats! I also have 3 pet rabbits so if you have a rabbit I can take care of it as well. I have 4 dogs and 4 cats. 2 of my dogs are pure breed German shepherds and 1 is a Golden Shepherd so I’m not scared of big dogs!! I can do any drop in visit for cats or dogs or walks I’m a stay at home mom. My time is pretty free daily. I’m available for any drop in visit or daily walks. I also did Certified nursing my junior year of high school at a vocational school. I will follow all care instructions for the clients house and everything they tell me for the care of the pets they have so they know it’s right.

“This was our first time using Rover. Riley was helpful in explaining how it worked. She watched our cat for several visits for two days. For each visit she sent information on how the visit went. Unfortunately our kitty would run and hide after greeting her so she couldn’t get many pictures. She even went and found him and sat trying to convince him to come out! He ate well during her visits and she was kind to clean up the dirty cat bowls each time! It’s also very comforting knowing Riley has experience working in a vet clinic.”

About: Hi! My husband and I own a farm in Amelia, VA with horses, sheep, chickens, and our cats and dogs. I have two rescue dogs of my own and am a complete animal lover. I work in the agriculture sector with a flexible schedule and my husband works from home full time. My schedule allows me to be home with your pets as often as they need. I have been house sitting for over 15 years and absolutely love being able to love other people’s pets like my own! My house also has a fenced in yard, and is great if your pets want to come stay with me as well. I have experience with dogs, cats, most exotic pets, horses, and any barnyard animal you could think of. We are also very experienced in senior care, and often foster for our local shelter so are used to a lot of different behaviors and dog personalities. I am available for pet sitting and farm sitting. I am looking forward to hearing from you! I have a flexible work schedule and my office is less than a mile from my home, so I can stop in often. My husband is also very experienced in animal care and works from home full time. Our dogs spend most of their day snoozing with my husband while he works. They go on 3-4 walks per day and have a fenced yard to run around. Guest dogs are treated like our own! Drop in clients can expect their dogs to be loved on and cared for as desired for 30-60 minutes per drop in.

About: Hello: I have a lifelong passion for animals, particularly dogs, developed through years of personal experience as a dedicated pet owner since childhood. Growing up with pets instilled in me a strong sense of responsibility, compassion, and attentiveness to animal well-being. In addition to being a devoted pet owner, I am also a nurse, which strengthens my ability to provide informed, detail-oriented, and safety-focused care. I am deeply committed to caring for dogs both holistically and medically, taking a balanced approach that supports their physical health, emotional wellness, and overall quality of life. I value preventive care, proper nutrition, and natural wellness practices, while fully understanding the importance of routine veterinary care, medical treatments, and ongoing health monitoring. My healthcare background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or condition, administer care responsibly, and prioritize safety at all times. I take pride in providing patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate care, ensuring every dog feels safe, healthy, and genuinely loved. I hope you & your fur baby are doing well. I am available Mondays- Sundays for drop in visits. I’m available Mondays-Sundays for boarding at my home. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every aspect of pet care, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Maintaining consistency helps reduce stress and builds trust with both pets and their families. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and secure environment. I ensure all spaces are pet-safe, free from hazards, and appropriately supervised. Pets are never left unattended for extended periods, and I provide structured feeding times, regular potty breaks, playtime, and rest to support their physical and emotional well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions exactly as given. I maintain the pet’s familiar routine, monitor behavior and health closely, and provide updates to ensure peace of mind. I am attentive to signs of stress or discomfort and respond promptly and responsibly. I am experienced in both holistic and medical care, including administering medications as directed, monitoring health changes, supporting proper nutrition, and providing gentle, natural wellness practices when appropriate. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, and trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.

“Highly recommend! Ada is awesome!”

About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was young and love to be around all animals! I used to nanny for a family with 5 kids and they had a wonderful dog that I always helped to care for! Feeding and taking him to the groomers and vet appointments…all things that I was lucky to get to help with! I also used to care for 2 cats (both needing to take medication) and a bull dog on a daily basis! I have a Jack Russell (that just passed away) myself that I had for about 10+ years and no kids do she was my only fur baby! I have recently in the past year gotten a brand new puppy named Sugar! She is a beagle/terrier/lab mix and 25 pounds of Adorableness! She is so sweet And absolutely my little girl, as she follows me everywhere and tries to be wherever I am, and always under foot!!! She’s a little skittish and still all puppy at eight months! So I am no stranger to puppy needs at all! I also have Bella, who is a pit/beagle mix and she is a little over a year and a half old! She is 60 pounds of crazy but happy and smart and always at my husband side! What a love bug! But remember, with pets, there is no personal space! Lol I love pets of all kinds and will care for them as if they were my own! Snuggles are free!!! I am currently a part-time private nanny, to a bunch of different families who may need care for their little ones day a week, and my schedule is always changing from week to week! This is a little niche that I found that nobody was able to fill, and I wanted to dedicate my career to helping those families who only need four hours a day one day a week and that doesn’t necessarily need to be the same day. As my schedules always changing, my availability will always be changing so I will try to keep that up-to-date as I hope more of you reach out! I’m really looking forward to all the snuggles! I am always very mindful of the time for feedings and walks…any medication will be given correctly and timely…I will make sure your home is locked up after I leave from a walk and/or feeding! Please know that I will do my best to. Gain the trust of the animal! Cats too!

About: I have been doing this for a long time and aimed to build trust with the families I work with. I want to make sure that your time away is seamless and smooth. A huge goal of mine is that we are able to work together for years to come It truly depends on each pet and what they need. I work a pretty flexible schedule. Depending on the job- I can cut my day if needed. The care that I provide depends on the family and animals. Every experience is tailored to their needs. At the end of the day, I just wanna make sure that the animals have what they need.

About: I know how to take care of animals with disabilities, my cat that I grew up with is blind and I took care of him until he passed away. I grew up around dogs and cats, my mom currently has two chihuahua mixes that I have taught some basic commands to. I also have a cat named Keke and she’s 3 years old. I can work around my schedule, I currently have a job working at cvs and am willing to move around my schedule to whatever fits best! I have a dog with anxiety and I know how to calm dogs down when they are stressed out about something and distract them away from the problem.
