Pet Sitting Blackwell

“Ayme is great! This was first time using a rover sitter for my retired police K9. The service was exactly what I was looking for. Getting the daily check in text and card in the app is a great service. I could tell things were going well by the great photos that were sent. Will definitely use this service again and I highly recommend Ayme!”

“Sidney is great! Super friendly and not bothered by my wacky dogs and their little issues. She arrived right on time and sent cute pics! Will definitely book with her again.”

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Claire was super reliable and very attentive to detail. We were 100% confident we could put all of our trust in her with our cat Sylvester from the first moment on! She definitely went above and beyond and followed all instructions to the T and sent pictures everyday! We will definitely be hiring her again and recommend her 150%!!”

“She did such a great job! Super good communication and took care of our dog for almost a week. We will for sure be using her again”

About: I have experience caring for both puppies (even during potty training) and senior pets with special medication and mobility needs. I have pet sat for numerous families with senior pets and have been successful in meeting all needs and providing the best care possible. I would love to do the same for your pet! I am in my 4th year of medical school, so my schedule is more flexible than an average full time job. I often have odd shifts or hours, so I can tend to pets at times where others may not be able to! I am willing to fit caring for your pet into my schedule however I can. I currently have 1 cat who lives in my apartment. I am so excited for the day we move to a home where we can build him a cat patio (or catio as we lovingly refer to it as), but for now he loves sitting in the window and seeing all of the sights outside! I would be willing to travel wherever needed to pet sit or do pet check-ins/potty breaks/walks. I would care for your animal just like it was my own. My goal is to meet all of your pet's needs, from physical to emotional and psychological. I also strive to maintain great relationships with pet owners to make leaving pets less stressful and anxiety-inducing.

About: I work full time as a Registered Nurse, but I have a love for all animals and would love to hang with your fur babies on my days off. I have years of experience taking care of all animals, I grew up around dogs, cats, birds, horses, frogs, and snakes . We have an aussie named Blue that we love so much and I would love to help you out with your furry friends. I can provide references as needed but can assure you your babies will be in good hands. We can also work on training as needed, make trips to the dog park, or just walk around the block! My pup is really playful so we could also have play dates if you feel comfortable with that.

“Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!”

“Makenzie was awesome. She was very communicative and reliable. Our cats are pretty shy around strangers and she was very patient and able to get them to be relaxed around her which most people cannot do. Thanks so much! I definitely recommend her!”

“Elle always does such an amazing job with our 2 cats! We just got back from a trip that was over a week, and getting the pictures every day from Elle after her visit made us feel confident that the kitties were well taken care of! It’s so nice to be able to leave town and know Elle is visiting!”

About: Hello! I’m Morgan, a young student with a passion for animals and pet care. I’ve owned dogs my entire life and understand just how important diligent pet care is. Pets are a part of our families, and that should be reflected in how they are cared for. I began walking dogs as a young kid with our family dog, Hugo, an energetic and lively Weimaraner. Later we got a black lab, Mercedes, and I would walk them together, so I am quite adept at handling multiple large dogs. In high school I began pet sitting for friends and coworkers. I have experience pet-sitting older dogs and younger dogs so I understand the need for careful supervision. I’ve have experience with dogs, cats, and even birds and rabbits! I have full open availability from 6am-3pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Thursday through Sunday I have completely open availability anytime of the day! I pride myself on being and observant and a diligent caretaker. Things like making sure the food and water bowls are always clean. Checking the water bowl consistently to ensure it’s full, keeping track of the time to know they’re being fed on schedule. Both my own dogs and others I’ve cared for have required daily oral medication at different times of the day. I’m very good at staying organized and knowing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done. Additionally, making sure the animals are receiving proper exercise and stimulation either through long walks or playing with the favorite toys safely.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life, but I really fell in love with them when I adopted a rescue English bulldog named Gary seven years ago. He was an incredibly unique dog who came with his challenges in many ways, including leash aggression, fear of other dogs, and many health issues in his elderly years. He taught me so much about caring for our furry friends in many ways and prepared me for whatever they throw our way! I've missed him very much since his passing, and I'm looking to meet some new doggos to get my fill on companionship. I work from home, and I'm generally quite flexible to pop in for visits or walks. I usually only travel on weekends if I do at all. Having cared for a senior bulldog with myriad health issues, I am very attentive to diet, medications, physical challenges, etc. I am detail-oriented and take instructions seriously. I love to pet, play, and give extra love when visiting with dogs!

“Cat is an amazing sitter! She takes great care of my puppy and is very accommodating with her times. She is reliable and best buds with my little puppy girl. A must book if you’re looking for somebody to treat your dog like you would!”

Joe M.

“Lee was amazing with my kitties! She left me substantial reviews of her visits along with pictures. Hoping to work with her again in the future!”

Hope M.

“Margaret went above and beyond when caring for River. My smoke detector was going out due to an apparent dead battery or something and she made every effort to help the situation. Her communication was great and I felt very comfortable knowing that my cat was in her hands ! Thank you Margaret.”

About: I have three dogs and two cats back home, all of whom typically fall under my care. I have experience dog, cat, and housesitting in both my hometown (Harrisonburg) and here in Richmond. I also volunteer at the Richmond SPCA for general socialization and cleanliness. I love animals dearly, but my roommates don’t want any pets in the apartment, so any help I can provide will also help me ;-) I’m a student at VCU with a solid course load, but a lot of free time in evenings, and on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. I have a car and time between classes to let your animals out, take them on walks, or just check up on them. I rely heavily on your personal pet care instructions. I believe you care deeply for your animals and you know them best. I will keep areas clean and locked up, so you’ll barely know I was there!

About: I’m a life long animal lover with hands-on experience helping out friends and family and caring for my own cat, Leia! I have a strong understanding of maintaining feeding schedules, walking routines and providing enrichment. I also understand each pet has their own personality. My approach to pet care is very individualized and considerate. I know leaving them is hard but I am dedicated to helping them feel safe and secure to ease your worries. I work full-time 12-8p Sunday-Thursday so I am available before and after those times for drop ins, walking etc. Fridays and Saturdays I am open all day! My cat Leia gets consistent wet food every morning and evening with dry food mid day while I am gone. She has constant access to water, vertical look out spots and a “catio” to give her outside enrichment the safest way possible.

“Haley gave detailed reports and took great care of my cats! They are a little high maintenance and one has a few health issues and requires daily medicine, Haley had no complaints followed every instruction perfectly.”

Faith M.

“Emmalee was great with our cat for the holidays. She took extra care to make sure he was comfortable and burrowed and went the extra mile helping monitor an ongoing medical concern. Wouldn’t hesitant to book her again and would highly recommend!”
