House Sitting Ashwoods

“We couldn't have been more pleased with Mikella! She was perfect and Ollie loved her -- I think he would have been happy if I hadn't come home and he got to stay with her! She took him on lots of walks and sent me pictures every day. I will definitely use her again if she is available.”

“Sara was very responsible and loving to my great Dane and spent a lot of time with her sent me pictures and kept me posted. I would highly recommend her to sit with your animals.”

“Becky was super thorough in sending me photos, videos, and updates of my pups. She clearly loved on them like I would have, and I was so thankful to have someone care for them so deeply while I was gone. Absolutely would recommend her services, and I plan to use her again and again! 🙏🏼❤️”

“Carolyn was wonderful. She took good care of Charlie and was careful to follow instructions including administering medicine and following physical therapy instructions. She left the house very clean and orderly. We would love to use her again.”

“I highly recommend Emily! She did a fabulous job taking care of our two girls. She is very reliable, an excellent communicator and an all-around great person. One of our dogs is a senior and requires medication twice per day - Emily handled it with ease. We were able to enjoy our trip and not worry about what was happening at home. Thank you Emily! We will definitely hire you again.”

About: My love for animals started early — when my family adopted our dog during my third-grade year, I took on real responsibility right away, handling his feedings and nightly walks. That hands-on care grew into a genuine passion that has only deepened over the years. Beyond dogs, I've developed experience with a range of animals, including goats, sheep, pigs, and horses, giving me a well-rounded foundation for handling pets of all personalities and needs. I'm currently studying biology and wildlife conservation at William & Mary, so animal welfare isn't just something I care about — it's what I've built my academic life around. I connect quickly with animals, take their comfort seriously, and will treat every pet in my care with the same patience and attentiveness I'd want for my own. You can feel confident leaving your furry family member in good hands! I'm home for the summer from college and have a very flexible schedule, making me available for bookings on short notice. I may be taking on part-time work as the summer progresses, but I'll always keep my Rover calendar up to date so you know exactly when I'm available. Your instructions are my playbook — I follow them closely and don't cut corners, whether it's feeding schedules, medication routines, or house rules for your pet. I'm naturally observant and attentive, so I stay tuned in to your pet's behavior and body language throughout every visit, picking up on cues that they might need something before it becomes an issue. Your pet's comfort and safety in their own environment is always the priority.

About: I’ve pet sit for neighbors, family and friends since I’ve been able to drive. I have some pets that I have been watching for multiple years. I currently work full time but it is flexible. I can let you dog out before and after work, and potentially during my lunch break if you are nearby! I can easily crate your dog and easily put them on a leash and take them on walks. If you have strict rules with your pet, I will try my hardest to enforce your rules.

“Benson had an absolutely wonderful time with Helena!! Helena is so conscientious- twice daily updates with pictures! The house is immaculate when we return - highly recommend Helena!!!”

“We had another great getaway thanks to Kim. I always feel confident my house and pups are well cared for by her! She’s very flexible when the travel gods throw a curveball too.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Mark! He was so kind and attentive, truly gave our two dogs the absolute best possible care while we were out of town. He was easy to communicate with and took wonderful care of our home while staying there. While away, a storm blew through Richmond and knocked down the electric line running across our backyard. Mark was so helpful at communicating everything going on, and took our dogs to a hotel two nights to make sure they were comfortable and safe. We will 100% be using Mark next time we need care for our dogs and recommending him to anyone needing a sitter!!!”

“Janei was wonderful with our dogs and cat! She was professional, confident, and warm. She will be first on our list to call the next time we need someone!”

About: I’ve cared for my two cats for the past 6 years and have always loved animals of all kinds! Whether its feeding, cleaning, playtime, or giving extra cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own! I work from home in the Henrico/West End area, so I’m very flexible schedule wise to check in on your pet. Feel reach out with your specific needs. I have 2 cats myself for 6 years. I can provide services to feed, walk, give water, clean and just provide company to your pet!

“Riley took excellent care of my 3 senior dogs, all 3 on meds, including 1 that is diabetic and needed blood glucose monitoring and insulin shots. I was thrilled to find someone with experience with diabetes. Thanks Riley!”

Emily H.

“McKenzie is a pro - very responsive, excellent communication and a great caregiver to our Stella - she goes the extra mile to ensure comfort for your pet and takes great care of your home when sitting. Could not recommend her more.”

Michael H.

“Brittney was amazing! Took great care of both the doggies and showed them so much love. She was very attentive and would send updates frequently. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: My name is Nick and I am a teacher in Chesterfield county looking to use my love for animals as a way to make some extra money over the summer. I have had dogs and cats growing up my whole life and currently have a dog named Bagel and a cat named Friday. I also have lots of experience dog/cat sitting for friends and family over the years ever since I was in high-school. I am a teacher so I won’t be working during the summers so I will have unlimited time during the day/night to take care of your pets and their needs! Once the school year starts I can do weekends and afternoon/nights! I have a lot of energy myself so if your pets love to get exercise/play around I am very up for that. I also try to be very thorough with the pet care instructions and will ask questions/for clarification to ensure I am giving your pet the best care as possible.

“Ada stayed overnight at my house with Bailey. She did an excellent job. Bailey loved her. She walked Bailey in the neighborhood and cuddled with her...No wonder Bailey loves her. She also left my house very nice and clean after staying there for 5 days. I will definitely call her again when Bailey needs a sitter.”
