Dog Sitting Ashland

About: I worked as a pet care specialist at a pet resort and worked there for two years. I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I am used to giving medications, dealing with different breeds, feeding and walking as well as temperament levels. I have a dog of my own who is my world. I promise to treat your pet like they are my own and to be organized and caring when it comes to every aspect of taking care of your pet. I have been around all types of dogs and cats as well. I’m willing to take the time to learn about your pet and do whatever care they need in order to be comfortable and safe. I will always do my best at all times. I work full time during the week but am available for overnight stays during the week and weekends as needed. My work schedule is 8-5pm. While Petsitting in the clients home, I always make sure to be aware of my surroundings and others while out and about on walks as well as maintaining the safety of the clients home.

About: I have 15+ years of experience taking care of dogs and I own one myself. I have a 6 year old female shih-tzu. She is family to me and I know how scary it can be to leave your dog in the hands of someone else so I promise to take care of your dog as if they were one of my own. I specialize in taking care of small and medium dogs but I have experience working with large dogs as well. I also have worked with dogs of all ages and multiple dogs at once. Feel free to message me if you have any with questions! While I can’t be with your pet 24/7 due to my own personal circumstances, I do have plenty of time to spare and can be flexible with my schedule. I don’t offer pet care in my home but I do offer pet care in your home. To care for your pet I will follow the instructions you provide for me.

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. 🐾

About: Hi there! I’m new to the Richmond area and can’t wait to explore the city, preferably with a furry friend (or two) by my side. I’ve been the go to pet sitter for family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors since 2007. Whether it’s playful pups, snuggly seniors, or quirky cats, I’ve cared for them all and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. • Super flexible schedule • Happy to stay in your home (I’m neat, respectful, and come with glowing references) • Excellent communicator and completely trustworthy with both pets and homes • Big believer in belly rubs, treat breaks, and whatever makes your pet happiest I can’t host pets in my own home but, I’m more than happy to travel or housesit wherever your fur baby feels most at home. I’d love to meet Richmond’s locals and give them all the love and care they deserve. My days are wide open and pet sitting is my favorite way to fill them! I am totally flexible and always happy to see a fur best friend! While I can’t offer boarding in my home (my cat kindly lets me live there), I’m happy to care for your pets in your home. I treat every house with respect and every pet with the same love, compassion, and excitement as if they were my own.

“My cat Charlie was in the best hands! She was punctual, professional, communicative, and attentive. She went above and beyond to make sure Charlie got the best possible care. During my week away from home I trusted that my pet was being cared for and I didn’t have to worry one bit. Would absolutely book again and recommend to friends!”

About: I’ve had over 15 years of experience taking care of dogs, and I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes. I love giving pets and snuggles, receiving kisses, and taking them out to the park and walks. I currently work 4 days a week, so I am available to board and dog sit, do drop ins, administer meds, dog walks, etc. I am flexible with my work schedule. I have a tri level townhome with plenty of space and a very large fenced in park 10 steps in front of my home. I have two doodles (both spayed and neutered) who are friendly…but if your pet prefers to be alone, I have plenty of space to separate and I have gates as well. Your rules are my rules. If you crate, I will crate. If you dont allow your pet on furniture, same goes for me. Etc. Your baby will be safe and loved with me and my family! I have a 11 and 13 yo who will also love on and play with your dog too :)

About: I’ve been a cat mama since our family cat chose me as his favorite nap spot the day I came home from the hospital! I raised my next bestie from the day she was born until she crossed the rainbow bridge, and I’ve loved my Fiona for nearly 14 years. I have plenty of experience with cats of all ages, including administering medication, accommodating quirky needs, and navigating sassy attitudes! I also grew up with a family dog and helped care for him while living at home and during college breaks. That included feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I bring patience and attention to each pet’s personality and routine, and I’m happy to learn all the little details that help yours feel comfortable and loved. I currently work freelance and have a very flexible schedule so my days are built around what bookings I have in a given week. Let me know what your needs are and we can work something out 🙂 Each visit comes will include a food, water and liter refresh plus treats, playtime and plenty of cuddles. I have plenty of experience with cats of all temperaments and will adjust care according to your instruction.

“Kira is such a wonderful young lady. The first time I booked with her she was explaining to me about how her mom used to train dogs and in the short amount of time we talked about my dog she managed to teach me a couple things and more importantly my boy loves her!!! Don’t plan on booking anyone else during my time in Richmond.”

About: I’m an animal care professional with a genuine love for pets and plenty of hands-on experience caring for animals. Through my work as a zookeeper, I’ve developed strong skills in understanding animal behavior, providing enrichment, following individual care routines, and making sure every animal feels safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love while you’re away! I am able to help during the days/evenings Sundays to Tuesdays and any other day after 5pm for taking out on walks, hanging out, administering any specific medical care, or anything you may need! I can follow any instructions you may need to take special care of your furry friends. I will make sure to always properly follow instructions on how you would like your animal cared for, and can also provide expertise from personal experience in animal care if you need assistance.

About: I grew up with dogs and have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I understand exactly how much your pets mean to you, and I treat them with the same love and respect I would give my own. I am a natural rule-follower, which means I stick by the book when it comes to your pet's routines. Whether it’s a precise feeding schedule, specific medication, or exact house rules, I follow your instructions to the letter. My top priority is ensuring your pet is safe, secure, well-fed, and thoroughly cared for. To give you complete peace of mind, I always make sure to send quick text check-ins after each and every visit! As a recent graduate, I don't have a set routine currently, aside from attending church on Sunday mornings, so I have a lot of flexibility to work with your schedule. The earliest I can commit to arriving at your house is 8am. I prioritize your pet's comfort and safety. I always stay alert for other animals we might encounter on our walks. I also pay close attention to the rules and restrictions you disclose to me to ensure your pet's security at home and on the leash.

“This was our first Rover experience and Virginia was a perfectly wonderful pet sitter for our cat, Fergus. She came by to meet him ahead of time, sent lots of photos and videos while we were away and, above all, made us feel very comfortable leaving him in her pet-loving hands. We would recommend Virginia highly and hope to find the opportunity to have her help again soon!”

“Victoria was available for our last minute booking! She did exactly what was in the care plan, communicated well and was super friendly! We will definitely book with her again!”

About: I love animals all kind especially dogs. My goal is to show extended love to your animal as my own. I am very professional when it comes to properly caring for animals. I understand that they are family members, and it can be difficult to be away from them, so I do my best to make both pet and human feel at ease. I walk dogs at owners discretion. I also like to run if you have a runner. It is my intention to make them feel safe, loved and their wants and needs are met. Dogs love play and I love finding out what their method of play is that lights them up. I love taking photos of your pets and sending regular updates. I also take care of plants, bring the mail in and maintain the safety and security of your home. I'll spend lots of time with your dog, fish, cats or birds and give them the love and attention they need. Morning walks Play time Hugs Treats! I work remotely and only part time so I will live with your pet as if they were my own. If they sleep with you, they can sleep with me. I love sleeping with them.:) I will walk your dogs, play with them and love on them. Change can be stressful so I try to meet them where they are and give them what they need. I try to meet them where they are and snacks. I'm also happy to water plants and bring in mail, etc.

“Briana is a beautiful human being. Additionally, my pups fell in love with her. Bri sent a selfie of herself with my Maltese sharing the biggest smile! She was concerned about my Yorkie and waited with her until my husband could get there. I will definitely trust Bri with my babies again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10 years old and probably younger! I was always fascinated by animals and wanted to help my parents in anyway with our pets. I helped train all our dogs and trained my own dog all my own since she was a puppy. I’ve dealt with all the puppy stage antics to all the grumpy senior dogs! I’ve had cats for as long as I can remember and rescued my own cat a year ago. I know all about the troublesome kitten phases to the aloof senior kitties. I’ve had my own experience in giving medications to all ages of dogs and cats. I am also in school to be a licensed veterinary technician so I have some skills in that field as well. I’ve also owned all kinds of other animals from turtles, hamsters, Guinea pigs and mice to fish and rabbits and reptiles as well. I really just love all animals and would treat your pets as my own! I currently only work on the weekends so I have plenty of time to visit and walk pups of all kinds or go play and check on kitties or other animals all throughout the week! I do online classes so I have no problem bringing my laptop with me to stay and take care of your pets! Since I work on weekends usually long days I can do house sitting but I would have to leave very early Saturday mornings. As for Sundays I can start housesitting most Sunday evenings depending on my schedule! My pets in my home are very spoiled and loved. I have a 3 year old cat and at home with my parents are my 2 family dogs who I helped raise and 2 turtles! In a clients home I would treat your pets as if they are my own and make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of! I would make sure they are safe and stay in the home so no pet gets loose!

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care I give every pet, treating each one like my own. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs—including senior pets and those who may feel anxious when their owners are away. I understand that great pet care isn’t just about feeding and walks, but about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home. I focus on maintaining routines, providing plenty of attention, and creating a calm, stress-free environment. I believe going the extra mile makes all the difference and always prioritize a pet’s emotional and physical well-being. With a flexible schedule and a strong sense of reliability, I’m committed to providing attentive care through drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays so pet parents can feel confident their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine alongside my work as a union pipefitter. My schedule is consistent and structured, which allows me to plan pet care reliably before and after work, as well as on weekends and during off hours. I prioritize clear communication and planning so every pet’s routine is followed closely and nothing feels rushed. Because I work long, focused shifts, I value the balance that pet care brings to my day. I’m fully present during visits, walks, and overnights, making sure each pet gets quality attention, exercise, and comfort. On days off or during slower work periods, I’m able to offer additional availability and flexibility. Pet owners can trust that I’m dependable, punctual, and committed to keeping their pets safe, happy, and cared for. I care for pets in my home and in clients’ homes by sticking closely to their established routines and preferences. I follow feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any special instructions to make sure pets feel comfortable and secure. I respect each home as if it were my own and always keep things clean and organized. In a client’s home, I focus on minimizing stress by maintaining familiarity—keeping pets in their usual spaces, giving them plenty of attention, and providing calm reassurance. I communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. Whether at my home or theirs, my goal is always the same: to provide safe, attentive, and loving care so pets feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for.

About: Hey y’all! I have been independently caring for animals since I was 12. I have previously worked in a groomer shop as a bather and nail trimmer. I also have history of assisting with training dogs. Fortunately, my dad is a vet and I have gained a lot of knowledge through him. I am appropriately trained to administer medications to any fur babies that may need it! I have history working with animals of all ages. I can assure you that your furry friends will be in the best hands! I am currently looking for full time work and in the mean time available for every day activities with your furry friends! I am currently available whenever you need! I am willing and able to accommodate to yours and your pets needs to ensure that you and your pet are comfortable while away from each other. I unfortunately cannot bring your pet into my home due to my own animals.

About: I’m a Registered Nurse who specializes in organ transplants, and a passionate animal lover! I have experience working in veterinary clinics for 3 years before I transitioned to a career as a nurse, of which I have been for 14 years. I had a sweet, large Akita for 13 years who had bilateral TPLOs, so I am very experienced with large breeds, post surgical situations, and medication administration, including injections. I have exceptional experience with mobilizing senior dogs, as Koda lived with severe osteoarthritis during his last few years. Whether the care for your pet is complex or simple, they are in excellent hands with me 💕 I work full time as a nurse, three 12 hr shifts a week, the days of the week vary each week. I typically have to work every other or every third weekend, but will have most of the week off in that case. Regarding my days off, I am available for the full day from dawn to dusk to care for you fur babies, or I am open to house sitting, or having your pet in our lovely Carytown bungalow! I have a medium sized fenced yard in Carytown with plenty of room for your pup to frolick safely. Camper, our sweet hound dog, is the kindest, most submissive pup and wouldn’t hurt a fly; her and I will both keep your pets happy and entertained! If we are house sitting or pet-sitting in your home, I will carefully follow every instruction to keep your animals routine the exact same!
