Cat Sitting Beulah

“Philis did an amazing job to take care of all our kitties. She gained trust very quickly and was able to give medicine as one of them needed on a regular basis. Thanks to her I could enjoy my vacation, knowing that my kitties are in good hands. Even when I did come back everything was clean, so I was able to enjoy my vacation till the last minute. The pictures I got from her are amazing. I will keep them all.”

About: I've been caring for animals since I was a kid, so I have experience with just about every stage of pet life, from puppies and kittens to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I'm comfortable with basic training, quick drop-ins, longer stays, and pets with more specific care needs. I grew up in the country with a pack of Australian Shepherds, so I'm very familiar with energetic, intelligent dogs and the occasional four-legged escape artist. These days, I have five cats of my own, and my fiancé and I also rescue cats and kittens, so I have plenty of hands-on experience with feline care too. That includes everything from confident, social cats to shy, nervous, or newly rescued kitties who may need a little more patience while they get comfortable. My home also makes it easy to give pets their own separate, quiet areas when needed, which is especially helpful for shy animals, cats, pets who aren't comfortable around others, or those who simply prefer some privacy. I also have experience caring for pets recovering from surgery or dealing with temporary mobility and medication needs. Since I work from home, I'm around throughout the day and can provide plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention rather than leaving your pet alone for long stretches. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and already structure my day around caring for my own animals. I’m home throughout the day, which makes it easy to accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, medications, check-ins, and plenty of attention without pets being left alone for long stretches. I’m also used to adjusting my routine around an animal’s individual needs. Whether that means an early breakfast, extra walks for an energetic puppy, a quiet afternoon with a senior pet, or giving a shy cat time and space to settle in, I have the flexibility to make their normal routine part of mine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I try to keep their routine as familiar and low-stress as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, medications, potty breaks, walks, playtime, sleeping arrangements, and any household rules your pet is used to. Because I work from home, I have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. That means I’m available for regular walks, extra potty breaks, drop-ins, play sessions, and check-ins rather than trying to squeeze pet care around a traditional office schedule. I’m happy to match your dog’s usual walking routine, whether that means a quick neighborhood loop or a longer walk to burn off some energy. In my home, I’m able to section off different rooms and areas as needed, which is especially helpful for pets who need privacy, a quiet place to decompress, or separation from other animals. I’m also very mindful about doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape routes. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both your space and your pet’s established routine. I want them to feel like life is continuing as normally as possible while you’re away, with plenty of attention and supervision. I’m also happy to send photos and updates throughout their care so you have the peace of mind of knowing how they’re doing while you’re away.

“Meghan did a fantastic job with my dog. She was timely and followed his medical instructions since he’s on medication and is used to a certain schedule. She was great and I would hire her again!”

“Janet came to my rescue when I found myself having to leave my anxious pup home alone, she was able to end me photo updates of Tsumi when she stopped by, was quick to respond and coordinate with me, and was super proffesional.”

“I didn't worry about Max at all while I was gone! I knew he was in good hands. Abby sent pictures and updates with each visit and Max seemed to really enjoy her company.”

“Indiana is amazing 🤩 both myself and Dexter could not be happier. She is personable, very friendly, neat, prompt, and obviously loves animals. Dexter is usually very stand offish & unsure of new people but he immediately allowed pats and was in Indiana’s lap for most of her photos! Absolutely will be calling on this amazing woman in the future. Don’t hesitate to book her!!”

“Annabella was an amazing sitter for our dog, Ash! She communicated about each visit and sent us some pics of our sweet boy. She was on time each day and even cleaned his bowls and lick mats for us so we came back home and could get back into our routine easily.”

Katie W.

“After the meet & greet took place, I knew Amanda would be the perfect person to care for my dogs. She’s reliable, compassionate, attentive, and patient with dogs that have special quirks and needs. I highly recommend Amanda as a resource for your animal needs!”

About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for over 7 years, starting with my own dog who’s been with me since I adopted him when he was 1 yr old. While I haven’t done formal training or grooming, I’ve handled daily care routines like walking, feeding, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I care for every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s companionship or daily care, I bring patience, affection, and a calm presence to every visit. I work full time but work Monday and Thursday’s from home so I can hang out with them all day! I can check in on your pet those days along with weekends! Would love to take them on a walk. I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely whether it’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or medication needs. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away.

“Ava responded to a last-minute booking and was great! I came home to a clean house and a happy cat. Would recommend and book again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs ranging from 10 pounds to 160 pounds my entire life. I have owned chihuahua dachshund mix, akitas, huskies, and German shepherds; so I understand big breeds as well as smaller ones. I have helped family members and neighbors with their dogs growing up with house sitting and dog walking. I know how important furbabies are to families, and treat each and every one as I would my own. I currently work full time with every other Monday off. I go to work about 7 am and get home about 430 pm. I do have volleyball leagues on Monday Wednesday and Friday nights that I am gone for 2 hours between 6-11pm as it varies based on game time. I love to hike and be outside so taking the dogs for walks a non issue. I treat all furbabies as if they were my own. I adjust my schedule accordingly to accommodate the animals as best as I can. I have given insulin shots and medication to animals and am comfortable with it.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, including my own pets and my professional experience as a kennel attendant at a pet daycare. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, baths, medication, and providing care for pets with different needs and temperaments. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give your pet the same attention, patience, and love I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I plan my days around making sure each pet gets proper care, playtime, walks, and check-ins without feeling rushed. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. I pay attention to their behavior, needs, and any instructions provided to make sure they receive the best care possible.

“Shannon did an awesome job on her drop-in visits with our three cats. Our home was also in great shape when we returned; all cat waste was handled properly. There is huge peace of mind knowing that our furkids are happy when we leave home.”

About: Im a dog lover at heart and mind, with a history of dog training (agility and obedience) and multiple references for dog sitting. I do work full-time with a flexable schedule which allows me a lunch break for extra care. Feel free to make contact with any questions. About this sitter: Im an outgoing, energetic, pet loving person. I lost my girl Arwen who I had for 16 years. I am available for house sitting with morning and evening drop by or overnights. Feel free to make contact with any questions. Depending on distance from work I may be able to do lunch time drop bys also. Cost and needs, with length of time and number of pets, may be negotiable. Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover my entire life...I grew up with multiple kinds of dogs; poodles to black labs. After college I adopted a cat then settling down here in RVA where I rescued Arwen, my mini-Australian Shepard. We had a history of obedience and agility training, she was CGC certified. My experience administering medication Yes, I have given medication to multiple dogs and cats. I do work full-time near Chippenham and Midlothian Turnpike, so if close I can do a lunch drop by. Currently I am available for house/dog sitting including overnights at your home or mine. I am a k9 lover and would spend as much time loving, petting, and cuddling your pup as they would like. Walks are important, short or long, and outside hikes for nice days are great also.
