I was happy to meet Cathy and am very pleased with her service. Will definitely call her for future pet care especially since my little Punkin really liked her. Thank you so much.

Sierra was great with our older kitten, who was exhibiting signs of anxiety (not eating or using his litter box correctly). She immediately contacted with me, made adjustments and went above and beyond to help clean up and make sure he was comfortable and attended to. He calmed down and we were able to enjoy our extended trip.

Laura was great. It was comforting knowing she was here to check on our puppy while we were gone. She was very punctual which was important for our puppy who isn’t quite house trained. We highly recommend Laura.

We had a walkaround the house with Rochelle. Rochelle was attentive and took lots of pictures. You can tell that she takes the care of our pups and the house very seriously. After learning the house, Rochelle observed the correct food portions and fed the pups. She is so loving to the pups.

About: I've owned dogs, cats & horses my entire life. I currently have 2 rescue dogs, 2 cats and a horse that are all treated like human children. I'm familiar with both young and elderly animals that require medical assistance. I work from home in Glen Allen. I have a flexible schedule and can check on your pet during the day and before/after work. I am comfortable with walking all dogs, crating dogs, working on commands and especially providing love and treats if desired! Happy to also prepare lick mats or other stimulation while you're away.

About: Hi! I'm Christynn, and I'm 19! I’ve worked with animals for years, starting at a boarding facility when I was 16, where I learned daily care, handling, and health monitoring. I also completed a two‑year animal science program in high school that earned me my Veterinary Assistant Certification. Now I’m studying Animal Science at Virginia Tech, continuing to build both hands‑on and academic experience with animal care and welfare. Now that I’m home for the summer, I have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and the only day with limited hours is Sunday, I’m free after 1pm. I’m excited to spend my summer giving your pets lots of attention, walks, and love. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. In your home, I follow your routines closely, feeding schedules, walk times, crate use, and any house rules you already have in place. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision so they feel secure while you’re away. I also keep an eye on behavior, eating, and overall well‑being, and I’ll always update you so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel relaxed and cared for, and to give you total peace of mind while you’re gone.

More excellent service from Amanda! She is our go-to person to care for our two cats when we’re out of town. She is very punctual and thorough, taking time to play with our cats in addition to the usual daily tasks of caring for them. She’s great about sharing photos and videos of our cats with us, too!

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my calm, attentive approach and my background in caregiving. I have many years of experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs who need extra patience, slower walks, and thoughtful routines. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and adjusting activity levels to meet each dog’s needs. On walks, I’m happy to let dogs take their time, especially senior dogs who benefit from slower pacing and plenty of sniffing. I genuinely enjoy engaging with dogs who like to play, while also respecting the boundaries of dogs who prefer a quieter, gentler presence. My professional background in caregiving has taught me the importance of reliability, attentiveness, and respecting rules and routines. I take pet owners’ instructions seriously and care for dogs with kindness, empathy, and consistency, so they feel safe and well cared for. I work Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. During the workweek, I’m available for morning and evening walks, drop-ins, and care. When I’m house sitting, I can provide morning and evening walks, and on Thursdays and Fridays I work from home, allowing for additional presence and a midday check-in or walk during my lunch break. On weekends, I have more flexibility and availability, which allows me to be more present and attentive to pets who benefit from extra time, companionship, or a relaxed routine. I will come to you and your furry friends. I follow routines as closely as possible and create a calm, safe, and respectful environment. In my clients’ homes, I take time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and boundaries. I carefully follow all instructions around feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and household rules. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, energy, or appetite and communicate clearly with pet owners so they feel informed and at ease. I adjust my care based on each pet, whether that means slower, sniff-friendly walks for senior dogs, gentle play for dogs who enjoy engagement, or quiet companionship for pets who prefer space. I keep homes clean, maintain litter boxes or feeding areas, and make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while their people are away.

About: I’ve had animals growing up ever since I was little. I’ve grown up with 4 dogs in the household and currently have my own. I absolutely adore all animals and would love to take care of your beloved animal I work and go to school daily but during the summer, I can definitely be more free. I always take breaks to walk the dogs around the neighborhood. I always be adequate to feed them and give them water throughout the day at their assigned eating times! If the dog is crate, trained to sleep in the crate at night, they’re welcome to sleep in the crate or if the owner wants, they can sleep in the bed with me. I do not mind.

About: Every dog, cat, and critter gets my full attention, patience, and genuinely endless affection. Your pet will be in hands that actually care, not just someone checking a box. I pay keen attention to their needs, wait patiently for pets to trust me, and show up exactly when I say I will. I'm a law student heading into my second year of school and I have flexibility this summer for regular visits or last-minute help. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and new clients and I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I pay close attention to each animal's cues, take the time to build genuine trust, and am someone you can count on — on time, every time. While I don't have pets of my own right now, I'm surrounded by them constantly and there is honestly nowhere I'd rather be. My schedule is flexible. If it works for you, it works for me. Above all else, I believe communication and timeliness are everything. You'll always hear from me promptly, whether it is confirming a booking, giving an update mid-visit, or letting you know about anything unexpected. No guessing, no chasing me down, just reliable, responsive care you can count on. When I'm in your home, your pet's comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely including feeding schedules, walking routes, any quirks or preferences because familiarity and consistency are what keep animals calm and happy in their parents absence. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want shown in my own, and I'm always in close communication so you're never left wondering how things are going. Further, I know that inviting someone new into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal, please be assured I'm direct, honest, and an open book.
