“As always, Cindy was excellent with Willow. It was storming so she sent a message and asked how Willow does with storms. It was so nice that she checked. But that’s how seriously she takes her appointments.”

“Tyler was on time and courteous. Both Boone and Ava loved him and he sent lots of photos and video updates. We would love to have Tyler back in the future!”

“Haley is amazing. We seriously lucked out choosing her to watch Kitty while we were out of town for a week. She had to make two visits a day for wet food and she still took the time to hang out with our cat for a little while each time. 100% will be using Haley for pet check-ins again.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—I’ve never known a home without a dog. Growing up, I had the opportunity to care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic Jack Russell Terriers to loyal Labrador Retrievers and loving Pitbulls. I was always involved in their daily care, whether it was taking them on walks, feeding them, or making sure they stayed up to date with vet visits. My love for animals has only grown over the years. Two years ago, I adopted my dog, Russell, from a shelter, and he has been my loyal companion ever since. I also have two cats, Chief and Reid, who keep life interesting and have taught me even more about pet care. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I’m truly passionate about. I love making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. As a part-time Graduate Assistant, I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day to care for and play with your pups, especially on the weekends! As a dog owner myself, I know what it's like to worry about your pet while gone. I will ensure pets are fed, exercised, and groomed according to their needs. I provide loving companionship, and follow specific care instructions for each pet’s well being and comfort.

“Mindy was a life saver agreeing to do several drop in visits with only a few hours before needing the first visit to occur. She asked lots of questions about Roscoe and that made me feel so comfortable, it was clear she wanted it to be a great experience for Roscoe and myself. She sent lots of updates and Roscoe loved her! Thank you so much mindy!”

“Wonderful experience meeting Tiffany and having her care for my 2 kitties while I was away for the weekend. I appreciated the detailed updates and pictures. Even my shy one came out to see Tiffany and asked for pets! It was a relief knowing they were in great hands. Thank you, Tiffany!”

“I am a helicopter dog mom who just moved to Richmond and can no longer let my dogs out on my lunch break. Rachel has been the best dog sitter I could ask for. I love my updates on the boys each day and trust that they are in the best care each day while I am away.”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have experience with both cats and dogs in home settings. I currently care for neighborhood cats, including daily feeding and coordinating basic veterinary needs when necessary. I’m also experienced with caring for my own cats who have special medical needs, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and monitoring for changes in behavior or health. In addition, I’ve provided dog sitting and enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I approach every animal with patience, attention, and respect for their individual needs. I'm currently working part time and have availability in the evenings and weekends; in June my schedule will open up significantly and I will have a lot more day time availability. I have two cats at home and take great care to ensure a safe, low-stress environment for all animals. I’m happy to welcome pets who are comfortable around cats, and I’m thoughtful about introductions and overall compatibility. I primarily offer care in pets’ own homes through drop-in visits and walks, which I’ve found helps many animals feel more relaxed and maintain their usual routines. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I approach every visit with reliability, patience, and attention to detail. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I also take care to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to keep things familiar and stress-free while you’re away.

“Candace is absolutely amazing!! She took care of my two guinea pigs while I was out of the country for three weeks! She gave great updates and sent me photos that really helped when I was missing my babies 💕”

“Kailey has been absolutely wonderful with my dog, Sable. She’s dependable, punctual, and communicates clearly, which gives me real peace of mind while I’m at work. Sable took to her quickly, and it’s obvious Kailey genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She’s flexible with my rotating schedule and always professional. I truly appreciate her reliability and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals of all personalities. I have two labs and two cats of my own, including a rescue we welcomed into our home, so I understand how important trust, routine, and a calm environment are for pets. I successfully introduced all of our animals and helped them learn to coexist comfortably, which gave me valuable experience with animal behavior, slow introductions, and reading body language. I’m comfortable caring for both energetic and anxious pets, and I take pride in making animals feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. I also genuinely enjoy the little things that make a difference — keeping spaces clean, deep-cleaning litter boxes, sticking to routines, and giving pets individualized attention based on their needs and personalities. 🐾 Pet care is already a huge part of my daily life, so caring for other animals fits naturally into my routine. Between my two labs and two cats, I’m used to managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cleaning, and making sure each pet gets individual attention and affection every day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care never feels like a chore to me — it’s something that brings me peace and happiness. I’m someone who pays attention to the little details, whether that’s noticing changes in behavior, keeping litter boxes and living spaces clean, or helping pets feel comfortable and safe in their own environment. My schedule allows me to be dependable, communicative, and consistent with the care I provide, which I know is important when someone is trusting me with a beloved pet.

“I recently moved from NY to KY and was in need of someone to help care for my four dogs. I had spoken to many people and wasn’t comfortable with anyone as I had my prior dog walker in Ny for over 10 years. I found Tanika and she and I hit it off right away: she was super accommodating to my ever changing schedule. I was nervous to have my one rescue dog meet anyone because he could be unpredictable. Tanika came armed with treats and was relaxed and so easy going with all the dogs that he took to her first!!!! Tanika had been above and beyond amazing . She helps with my dogs that have medical issues and she is always there when and if I need her. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own and I’ve never had to worry about them when I’m away. She is an absolute god send and I highly recommend her!”

“Selah did a fantastic job. This was our first time using rover and she did not disappoint. She kept me well informed of messes, updates and earned our dogs trust. She even picked up our trash cans when the wind blew them over. Highly recommend using her to care for your fur baby.”

About: With your pets permission, they will be loved on. Pets in my care will be treated like family. I have been around pets of all kinds my whole life and have pet sat for over 5 years! The only days of the week where I’m out for more than 3 hours is Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am at home otherwise, the more time I have with your pet, the better! I do have two cats, so they will likely be separated from your pets in a boarding situation, but I live next to a dog park so it is easily accessible for pups. I have many cat toys and treat varieties as well.

About: I grew up in a house with dog lovers, so we had as many as 4 dogs at one point! We have had dogs from puppies to final days! I'm super comfortable with any breed! I'm currently a PA student, so my availability is pretty flexible. I'm usually always free on the weekends when most people need pet sitters for exciting weekend plans! I'm usually always free in the evenings during the week, as well. I can do whatever you need for your fur baby while away! I know how it is to be so nervous that your babies aren't taken care of while you have relatively no control since you aren't home! I will do whatever you need to ensure they are completely taken care of!

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 9. I am able to take care of older dogs and cats who will require more care. I have been dog sitting for neighbors, family, and friends for 5 years. I currently working a full time job for 5 out of 7 days from 8am-5pm. I have a dog of my own that I take care of and try and spend as much time as I can with him I can easily go over to your house to check up on your fur baby and give it unlimited cuddles and love whenever it is needed. I can do a puppy check in if you are leaving a puppy at the house alone for a while

About: My wife and I live on a farm with plenty to explore! I’m a full-time teacher, which means patience, consistency, and understanding individual needs are a big part of who I am. I bring that same approach to pet care. I’m reliable, calm, and always focused on keeping pets comfortable, happy, and safe. When your dog is with me, they’re treated like family with plenty of affection, routine, and communication so you feel confident while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into our routine. My wife or I are almost always home which allows us to give pets full attention and avoid any rushed or distracted care. We live on a spacious property where dogs have plenty of room to explore, and we make sure outdoor time is always supervised. We use secure tethers and leashes to keep pets safe while still giving them the chance to enjoy fresh air and play. Whether inside or outside, we stay attentive to where the dog is and how they’re doing. Our goal is a calm, safe environment where pets can relax, stretch their legs, and feel comfortable and cared for.
