Pet Sitting Ashland Mill

“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!”

About: ***4.9 rating due to a client submitting 4 stars vs 5 by mistake *** My repeat clients keep me busy, but feel free to message me if you don't see dates available. 🐾 Be sure to check out my reviews and pictures of cute pups! Hey! First, I want to thank you for visiting my page! Feel free to call me Nikki! I specialize in pupcare for small breed pups(20 lbs max). Be sure to check out the pics to see some cute pups! I have 2 small breed fur babies and have a deep love for animals. Your pups will be cared for like my own. Your fur babies will be entertained, cuddled and loved during their stay! Pet care is apart of my daily routine. I work from home and we start our day around 8 am. We have at least 4 potty breaks in our personal fenced in area. It's small, but a perfect size for small breed pups! I also provide daily walks based on each owners preference. I have 2 friendly small breed pups. Sage is 9 lbs and Chico weighs 13 lbs. They love to play with new friends. If your pup is a TV watcher I also have a DOGTV subscription! My space is not huge, but I can guarantee your pups will get lots of exercise and love! My pups are apart of my family so they are allowed anywhere we are in the home. I currently care for crate trained and/or partially trained dogs. I only board small breed dogs due my apartment not being huge and I want to ensure your pup has enough space to play and be comfortable . Before accepting boarding requests I do ask that your Rover profile be updated with all necessary information to ensure safety, including updated pictures and updated weight of your pups. My max weight limit is 15 lbs. Feel free to message me if you have any questions. I am conveniently located less than a mile off of Exit 92(Ashland).

“This is the second time we have had Sierra take care of our cats. She is always prompt, dependable, and you can tell she really loves the animals she takes care of. She leaves detailed notes and was great at keeping us updated if she had any questions or concerns. I am appreciative to have someone I can turn to for pet care when needed!”

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.

“Laura was terrific with our two little dogs. Great communication. Photos after every visit, so I'd be reassured all is well! Will definitely hire Laura again in the future should the need arise.”

“McKenzie did an amazing job caring for Leo while I was away. The timely communication and follow up was top notch and kept me at ease knowing he was being taken care of in absence.”

About: I’ve been working with dogs since I was a kid, starting on a farm where I helped train and care for service dogs. Whether your pup wants a rugged adventure hike or a quick stroll through the neighborhood, I’m happy to match their energy. I’ve raised my dog, Nikka, since she was 7 weeks old and am fully comfortable handling medications, special feeding, and high-needs care for pets of all types. Pet care fits around the day, not the other way around. Mornings start with a walk and breakfast, mid-day gets a longer outing or backyard time, and evenings are for hanging out. I keep a routine but I'm flexible when a pet needs something different. I treat a client's home like my own. Dogs get their normal routine kept intact, walks, meals, and meds on the same schedule they're used to, plus plenty of company so it doesn't feel like a kennel. I keep things clean, send updates with photos, and follow whatever house rules the owner leaves. Nikka comes along when it's allowed, but only after everyone had a successful meet & greet.

“Keith is reliable and excellent with my puppy and older dog.”

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.

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 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.

“Did an amazing job with our two trouble makers. They definitely loved Farrah so much. Felt so comfortable with how happy they were. Definitely going to be my sitter from now on.”

“Janie is really conscientious about making sure your pet is coping well with your absence. Great at keeping you in the loop and very responsive to questions. Took our first long trip away from our very anxious kitty. After the first 24 hours we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing she was in good hands.”

Renee B.

“My wife has always had someone to watch her dog, but we recently built a house and she moved to Goochland County. It was our first time using the Rover service and Riley was great. She sent notes and pictures to keep us updated on each stay. She was great and will be using her services again!”

About: I grew up helping my mother with her professional dog grooming business. She also bred/registered dogs through the American Kennel Club for a number of years. Working with her I have gained valuable experience taking care and training all kinds of canine companions and will show the same dedication and heart to your best friend as well. I have worked with the bigger breeds such as Rottweilers, Pitt-bulls, Golden Retrievers, Great Danes, and even trained German Shepard’s for police work with my sister. And I have also worked with smaller breeds such as Yorkshire Terriers, Pomeranian, Boston Terriers, and French Bulldogs. My favorite breed of dog is the Australian Cattle Dog for its small size and high energy. Perfect for going on trail hikes with me.
