Pet Sitting Brandermill

“Laura continues to be an amazing sitter! This must be the 4th time now and more to come. My senior cat is always a happy boy when she comes to visit and I know he is in great hands with her when I am away. I look forward to booking with her again!”

“Wesley is so wonderful. I have a very skittish Mastiff and Wesley went out of his way to bond with him. He took the best care of both my dogs. He was prompt and accommodating. I would recommend him to anyone.”

“Cait was amazing with our Goldendoodle, Bella! She spent lots of quality time with her and allowed us to enjoy our family vacation knowing she was taken care of. Updates and photos every visit really helped! Even took care of a few things around the house like bringing in mail and packages. Definitely recommend her!”

About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was young and love to be around all animals! I used to nanny for a family with 5 kids and they had a wonderful dog that I always helped to care for! Feeding and taking him to the groomers and vet appointments…all things that I was lucky to get to help with! I also used to care for 2 cats (both needing to take medication) and a bull dog on a daily basis! I have a Jack Russell (that just passed away) myself that I had for about 10+ years and no kids do she was my only fur baby! I have recently in the past year gotten a brand new puppy named Sugar! She is a beagle/terrier/lab mix and 25 pounds of Adorableness! She is so sweet And absolutely my little girl, as she follows me everywhere and tries to be wherever I am, and always under foot!!! She’s a little skittish and still all puppy at eight months! So I am no stranger to puppy needs at all! I also have Bella, who is a pit/beagle mix and she is a little over a year and a half old! She is 60 pounds of crazy but happy and smart and always at my husband side! What a love bug! But remember, with pets, there is no personal space! Lol I love pets of all kinds and will care for them as if they were my own! Snuggles are free!!! I am currently a part-time private nanny, to a bunch of different families who may need care for their little ones day a week, and my schedule is always changing from week to week so my availability will always be changing. But,I will try to keep my Rover calendar up-to-date as I hope more of you reach out! The plan is is turn this into a full-time gig so I will have probably more availability as time goes on towards the end of this year, but I’m hoping to find some regular clients that will book with me on a consistent basis! Plus, I’m really looking forward to all the pet snuggles! I am always very mindful of the time for feedings and walks…any medication will be given correctly and timely…I will make sure your home is locked up after I leave from a walk and/or feeding! Please know that I will do my best to. Gain the trust of the animal! Cats too! I do highly recommend a meet & greet ahead of time so we can meet pet parents and also meet dog(s)! Let’s them see me and hopefully remember me and feel comfortable with me in their house! (*Please note: House Sitting rates apply to stays where overnight accommodations (a clean bed/space) are provided in your home. If you prefer daytime/evening visits only without overnight stays, please book via my Drop-In rates!)

“Julia was so patient with my little guy! Very knowledgeable about pets. Will book again . Great communication and asked questions to give my boy the best visit !”

Ashley C.

“Layla provided great service and was very communicative beforehand in setting up a meet and greet so our pups can get familiar with her. She was also communicative during the drop in, even though I was available to respond. We have one dog that can be very stubborn, especially when it is raining, and Layla provided great care in getting her to at least go outside to relieve herself. Will definitely be using Layla again in the future!”

About: What sets me apart is the hands-on experience I have caring for dogs with all different personalities, ages, and needs. In addition to having three dogs and two cats of my own, I have fostered dogs through Bullies to the Rescue and volunteer with Richmond Animal Care and Control, where I serve as a Volunteer Adoption Coordinator Assistant and a trained Three Paw dog walker. I am comfortable working with dogs who may have behavioral challenges and have experience with senior and sick dogs who need extra patience, attention, and care. I truly take the time to get to know each pet as an individual and adjust my care to what makes them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I don't just see pet sitting as a job—I genuinely love animals and treat every pet in my care like they are my own. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM in East End Henrico, so pet care fits naturally into my routine before and after work. I am available for brief morning visits before work and have much more flexibility after 3:30 PM for longer walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I have open availability on weekends and can be flexible with scheduling. For house sitting, I am also willing to travel outside my normal service area when staying in your home. I take scheduling seriously and will make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I care for every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. In a client's home, I follow their normal schedule as closely as possible so their pets feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, companionship, and love, while also respecting pets who need a little space. I am comfortable caring for senior, sick, special-needs, and behaviorally challenging dogs, as well as cats and kittens. I will follow feeding instructions, medication or special-care directions, and any other routines you provide. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel safe, happy, and cared for—and I want you to have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from young puppies to large breeds, and I’m confident handling a wide range of needs and personalities. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to make sure every pet stays healthy and safe. I also have experience with basic puppy training, helping reinforce good habits and routines. What sets me apart is my patience and understanding, especially with dogs who have separation anxiety or need extra reassurance. I take the time to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own, paying close attention to their behavior, energy level, and individual needs so they get the best care possible. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make it a priority to give each pet the time, attention, and consistency they need. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate morning, midday, evening, and even last-minute bookings when needed. Whether it's walks, drop-ins, or extended stays, I'm able to adjust my routine to match your pet's schedule and keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for them. I'm reliable, responsive, and committed to being there when you and vour pet need me. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have a spacious three-floor condo that gives dogs plenty of room to move around and feel comfortable. I also have a friendly six-year-old dog who gets along well with other animals, helping visiting pets feel more at ease. My two daughters are gentle and respectful with animals, adding to the loving environment your pet will be in. I live in a great area for walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things consistent and stress-free by maintaining their normal routine and environment. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I am a former dog-mom to an English Bulldog named Otto who loved playing fetch with tennis balls, snuggling, sun-bathing, and strolling around town. I also grew up with a yellow lab who was a wonderful childhood companion. I have experience taking dogs for walks, hikes, runs, and swims! My family and I love taking walks and playing outside in our fenced in yard. Each dog is unique in the games they love to play and the areas they love to sniff, and I will pay special attention to what your dog likes. Rest assured that your dog will be in great hands. My husband and I work from home and have ample time to care for a dog during the day. We have 3 young children who miss our dog that passed away earlier this year. We are not in a position to get another dog currently, so would love to watch your dog on a short term basis! I have a fenced in backyard with lots of room to play. In order to stay in my home, your dog must be very kid friendly.

“Amanda is great with our shy tortie, Kallie! She goes above and beyond with extra pets and attention. We always come home to a happy cat and a clean home. I would definitely recommend her!”

Jackie N.

“Catherine was great! Very punctual, thorough, and most importantly great with our pup! I’ll definitely use her again!”

About: I have grown up around, and taking care of animals all my life. One of my favorite quotes speaks dearly to me and is very true; " A house is never lonely where a loving dog waits." I whole-heartedly believe in making your fur babies feel comfortable and loved and reassured while you are away; from snuggles, play time, walks and pictures and updates to you. I have experience being around different types of dog breeds from working in the veterinary field, and having dogs as pets, and family members / friends with dogs. My own dog breeds consisted of a Wolf, a Husky, Jack Russell and Aussie mix and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Cavachon mix. My Aussie Mix was rescued from the Southside SPCA when he was 1yrs old; he is now 2 and a half yrs; the Cavachon mix was given to me because the owner did not want him anymore. My dogs are my world! ( I am that person that takes thousands of pictures of my dogs and spoils them rotten lol). I will make sure to treat your fur babies the same way and keep them safe. If you have any questions feel free to message me; I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I currently live in Chesterfield, VA and I am flexible with areas I will serve. I work full time but always make time around my schedule to cater to my own dogs and my clients. I do my best to manage my schedule, I love dogs so much and always have, I do what it takes to make it work. Being around dogs makes my day better so if I can help someone feel better about leaving their dog at home or needing services, I am happy to help because I know how I feel about my own dogs and would treat my clients dogs with the same love and care. Depending on the needs of the dog and temperment I will keep the dogs together or divided from each other as I cater to their needs. I make sure to follow through on the safety of your pet as well as my own. I always read the dogs body language and never force a situation.

“Ytalo and Grace really love animals. I can tell from the photos and seeing our dogs when we arrived home that they were well taken care of and given lots of love and affection. I would definitely use them again the next time we go on holiday.”

“Haley was a great help for a last minute Mother’s Day trip! She came over and did drop in check in for my animals at a timely manner & gave them all the attention they could ask for. We will definitely be booking Haley again!”

Abby B.

“She was very thorough and communicated each step of the way. I will definitely use her services in the future.”

Kristie M.

“Alison was wonderful. My family was dealing with extremely challenging circumstances and I didn’t make things as high a a priority as I should I have. I was extremely fortunate to have had a wonderful drop in visit by her where Hallie was well-loved on and cared for and I absolutely can not recommend her enough.”

Kalena B.

“Amy took great care of my pets again! I trust her 100 % and know Johnny and the Birdies are in good Hands! Thank you Amy, you make it easy to go on vacations.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a seven-month-old Golden Retriever puppy named Archie, so I’m very familiar with puppy routines, training, potty breaks, and high-energy playtime. I also raised two of my mom's Pomeranians, Flynn and Pepper, from puppyhood and lived with and cared for them daily for years. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with both small and large breeds, as well as the patience, consistency, and attention that dogs need to feel safe and comfortable. Caring for animals fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely love spending time with pets and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved! I’m currently working toward my teaching license this summer, which gives me a flexible schedule and lots of availability for walks, drop-ins, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets company throughout the day. I can handle nearly any issue that concerns dogs, whether that be giving medicine to your pup or cleaning up vomit, I can do it all! I also have no issue training new puppies for certain tasks, so feel free to ask me.
