Pet Sitting Blackwell

“Jonathan was so easy to work with and took excellent care of our dog! He was very flexible with some last-minute plan changes, and he even spent more time than required to make sure our dog got some play time.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs for most of my life and already occasionally pet sit for friends and family. I used to work as a caretaker at a doggy daycare, and decided to continue pet care alongside my new job as it became such a fulfilling part of my life. I'm experienced with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and I'm experienced with a variety of other animals such as cats, fish, lizards, turtles, birds, and hermit crabs. My current work schedule follows the standard Mon-Fri 8-5, with most of my weekends and evenings open. Because of this, I'd be most suited for pets that are used to this schedule already. Otherwise, I try my best to stick to their current schedule for things like feeding and walks. I always feel comfortable meeting the parent(s) and pet before the booking. I can take care of all basic tasks and am very adaptable, patient, and reliable. I do my best to learn about each pet's little mannerisms and quirks so I can accommodate them the best I can while keeping them and your home safe. I want to make sure both you and your pet end up happy! I always ask that I'm given the pet's vet and an emergency contact as well, just in case.

“Rebooked with Elijah! He provided detailed and thoughtful updates while caring for my four cats. Elijah was able to get my scaredy cats to engage and play. We will definitely hire Elijah in the future!”

Beth R.

“Ayme has been our go-to cat sitter for a couple of years. Even our scaredy cat boy who is afraid of everyone loves her. The pictures she shared every day show that the cats are well loved and taken care of.”

Molly G.

“Kade is smart and dependable. Her visits with our Zoe were always perfectly timed, and her reports were thorough and consistent. Seldom have I felt more confident leaving our beloved dog with a sitter.”

“Emma went above and beyond to take care of my Pooffy. I was away from home, outside of US for.more than a month. She prompty stepped in and took the best care of my fur son. She is very well communicative, fun and loved pooffy a lot. Very aptient and always ready to support the pet parents. I have been taking her services several times and definitely can vouch for her! 🌷🌷”

Samira B.

“Danielle did an excellent job with Otis, kept me updated with pics and videos from her visits. He's not always the quickest to warm up but seemed to take to her on her first visit! Came home to a happy, healthy boy. Would definitely book her to look after him again!”

Andrew T.

“Aubrey is phenomenal! She exceeded expectations and went above and beyond while caring for my cat, Henley. She cleaned our floors and watered our plants, all unprompted. I will recommend her to my friends and family and will book with her in the future.”

About: I have had a pet in my home since I was 5 years old, so I absolutely know what it takes to care for them! I have a very sweet 10 year old dog named Callie May and she is my world! She's a sweetheart and amazing with all other animals too! I look forward to meeting you and your pet and taking them on multiple adventures around this beautiful city we call home! Message me today and we'll get this adventure started! I work from home, for the most part, so my schedule is pretty open! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions at all! I have a beautiful big fenced in yard in the Northside in a lovely walkable neighborhood! Your pet will absolutely be spoiled with me (but only if you're okay with that!)

“Haley did a wonderful job caring for my kitties once again! :) She followed directions perfectly and is very punctual! I will definitely continue to book with her! :)”

Ana R.

“Maria and Luis went above and beyond to take care of our kitties this weekend! As a first time rover user I was nervous but they were communicative and very loving to our cats. Can’t recommend them enough!”

Kara S.

“Newish to RVA and first time using Rover. Alyssa was great with my 13yo kitty, Rizzo. She was professional, timely, and communicative. I loved receiving daily photos and updates while I was traveling. Knowing Alyssa was watching my baby gave me peace of mind. I would rebook Alyssa without hesitation!”

Brigitte K.

“Abigail was awesome! Very communicative, sent 6 photos from her visit with our cat (some of the best pictures we have of her), and just an overall pleasure to work with. Could not recommend her more!”

Megan M.

“Emily showed up right on time. She was very personable and professional. She showed my dog care and attention during their time together. I plan to ask her to drop-in again.”

Robert G.

“Daniel was great! He went above and beyond to take care of Lainey while I was gone. Taking care of her, cleaning up after her, and making sure she felt safe and cared for while staying home alone for the week. He was even nice enough to drop off some cookies for me and my girlfriend on his last visit. An extremely nice gesture, having known we both contracted Covid during our trip (it’s the little things 🙂). I will definitely request service from him again if he’s available in the future and strongly recommended others do the same. 10/10 dog sitting!”

Paul L.

“Holland saved the day for us with a very last minute request to feed our babies. She did exactly what was asked and sent a pic too! I will definitely have her back!”
