Pet Sitting Bella Vista

“Loreley stepped on last minute and did a great job. She gave great communication on our pets and was awesome.”

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and small animals my whole life. I’ve even fostered with rescues in the past. I recently lost my own dog and thought maybe I could cuddle someone else’s while they travel. I work from home and have a fully fenced yard which your pet would have access to at any time they like! I work from home for the Dept of Veterans Affairs and usually have the back door open for access to the fenced yard throughout the day. Outside of errands, I am typically home with them. I have a fenced yard with plenty of access for the pets. When they’re here, they’re family so if they want in the sofa: great! Sleep in bed: even better! Or if they prefer the safety of their crate, that’s good too. I want them to feel comfortable. Unless they’re from the same household, I prefer to keep one dog at a time to make sure they get undivided attention. But, if they’re social and like to play, I live super close to the dog park! If you just want drop-in visits or walks, just let me know how I can best accommodate and I’ll be happy to work something out to suit your needs.

“For some people pet sitting is a sideline, and for some it’s their job. This is Lisa’s job and her professionalism and attention to detail was evident from our meet and greet meeting with her and continued going forward. We absolutely hate leaving our dogs, but Lisa’s texting narrative style of home visit made us feel like we were there with them twice a day. Lots of photos and some videos let us see how well they were doing. Lisa also noticed an issue with their feeding and gave us some great advice we’re putting into practice going forward. It’s no surprise to me that many of her clients schedule their vacations based on Lisa’s availability. I know we will be in that group. We’ve had pet sitters in the past, but Lisa is by far and away the most outstanding. Our dogs loved her, and we were completely confident with them in her care. We highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, fantastic, pet sitter that treats your pets as if they were her own.”

About: For as long as I can remember, I've lived in a household with pets! As a kid, my family had a little shih tzu and then later on we had a huge pit bull mix (we also almost always had at least 3 cats running around, adding to the craziness). I've always loved getting to spend time with animals because of their vastly different personalities, from the lazy pug I currently have to the crazy cats I take care of for friends! I'd love to get the opportunity to spend time with your pet too, whether it's taking them on long walks or just playing with them around the house! I'm currently a full-time employee with lots of flexibility in my hours. I'm available most days from noon until 10pm! Some days may have slight differences in hours based on if I have any work meetings, but I'm always transparent with my availability! I live in a gated apartment complex currently with a large dog park. Because of my current home, I only offer drop-in visits and walks. Because of this, I'd be visiting your home. I believe in treating everyone's home with absolute respect so I'll make sure to follow all rules you set for your space as well as ensure your pets are safe and happy at the end of my visits!

About: Gigi loves all the babies! I’m a cat & dog mom and Gigi to 3 grandkitties who live right next door. Would love to spend time with your little (or big) sweetheart too. Confident with dogs of all sizes including reactive dogs, meds administration for dogs and cats, and am available for overnight care. I’m currently working from home and make my own hours so can easily work around your schedule. I’m available for drop-in’s, walks, and overnight care. I have a calm energy most animals welcome and I’m usually able to gain their trust early. Having raised 2 dogs and several cats through medical conditions and several moves, I’ve become very attuned to their body language which helps me to understand their needs and wants.

About: I have cared for all sorts animals my whole life, from as small as a gerbil to as large as a llama. I have previous experience working in a boarding kennel and veterinary office. I have experience working with special needs animals and administrating medications. I work full time, 6-8 hour shifts 5-6 days a week. I am almost always done with work between 1 and 2 pm at the latest. I don't have consistent days off but can be flexible with availability. For pets who need extra care throughout the day (potty breaks every 4 hours, 3+ meals, etc.), I can typically work accommodations into my schedule for those in the 98664/98683/98684 area. I am well-versed in behavioral signs of animals and will make them feel safe and trusted while I am in their homes. My main goal is always to support your pets in whatever way they need.

“I could not wish for a better person to entrust the care of my best cat friend to. So much so that Jayne has been my cat's only caregiver when I have had to be gone. Jayne always puts Mouse's (my cat) needs first providing her active playtime, affection, and following her well established routine. Jayne provides me with a narrative of each visit that makes me feel like I am right there.Her professionalism combined with her true love and appreciation of animals makes her the best!”

“Sammy is an amazing pet sitter! She communicated quickly, made us feel very comfortable and our pets loved her. We are very thankful for her care while we were away from home!”

Viktoria M.

“Sydney was so amazing with our cats! She made sure that they were well taken care of and got lots of love. We can't thank her enough for how well she took care of our cats!”

“Once again, Julie did a fantastic job caring for my two cats, who tend to be skeptical of new humans. We've booked Julie multiple times now since from the beginning she's set my mind at ease and gone above and beyond to earn their trust. I really appreciate the updates and photos she sends each day, as well as the peace of mind that comes from knowing I'll come home to healthy and happy cats. Highly recommend. Thank you, Julie!”

“Marissa is awesome. Very friendly and reliable. She took care of our dog Hana while we were away. She sent pics, fed her, let her out to go potty, and spent time with her. Marissa will definitely be our go-to from now on :) Thanks Marissa!”

“Amy is incredibly thoughtful and thorough! She gave us the peace of mind that our 3 shy cats were well taken care of during our trip. Will definitely book her again in the future!”

“Madelyn, thank you for taking such good care of Frodo! The pix are great, plus the extra info on how he’s been doing. When we returned from our trip today, Frodo was a happy, content cat — just as we love to see after being gone a few days.”

About: I have an 11 year old rescue beagle with special needs and a whole lot of stubborn. I have learned a lot from him, especially patience. I recently moved back to richmond and am only working part time. I have a very flexible schedule and can care for a pet at almost anytime. I cant have your pets in my home, but I am more than happy to care for your fur babies at yours. I understand just how important your dog is to you, and I would treat them just as I treat mine. With all the love and treats I can.

About: I have been around dogs of all sizes all my life. I am the current owner of 3 cats and a large dog. I will always make sure a pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for. I am currently working part time on a set schedule in the afternoon so I’ll be free for midday walks and morning and evening feeding. I cannot house pets in my home as my dog is reactive and I think it’s best to keep pets in their own homes when there is a new situation like an new sitter so they are as comfortable as possible.

About: While I've grown up with dogs and cats, I also have professional pet sitting experience taking care of dogs with diabetes, blind cats, guinea pigs, and even a llama! Pets and their caretakers have trusted me so much, they have flown me to their new homes after moving out of state for further petsitting assignments. I give emotional connection and comfort to pets while they're missing their humans, even reading aloud to them, because I believe it is an integral part of the job. Currently, this is my primary work, so I will have time to spare to take care of your animals. I volunteer regularly at animal sanctuaries and other orgs to improve the lives of animals. I have typically been asked to spend the night with the pets in the client's home, and spend as much time with them as possible, but I can also make daily visits instead if necessary. If you prefer I make visits, keep in mind the distance it would take for me to get to your place, and consider allowing me to make fewer, longer visits instead of multiple brief ones throughout the day.

About: Hi there! **Now accepting new CAT & DOG clients** Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something that brings me so much joy. I’m a big lover of both dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and little quirks. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I want you to feel confident knowing they’ll be loved, cared for, and treated like one of my own. I'm a freelance photographer with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to your pet's care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feedings, or simply keeping them company, I'm happy to work around their routine and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Creating a safe and comfortable environment for every pet is my top priority. I know every cat and dog has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, so I take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel at ease. I'll always follow your care instructions closely, respect your home, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away!

“Carissa was great! My cat has never warmed up to someone so quickly. Will definitely book again :)”
