House Sitting in McCarleys Corners

“Elizabeth did a wonderful job of looking after our house and our animals. She kept us informed whilst we were away how the animals were and even sent pictures. We returned to 2 very happy dogs and a cat and a very clean and tidy house. We would love to have Elizabeth look after our house and animals again in the future.”

“Hannah was so helpful when we needed a last minute dog sitter at our airbnb for the day. Great communication and you can tell she is very diligent and trustworthy with your pet. Highly recommend and I wish we lived closer to have Hannah again. My dog was very happy with her and they had a great day walking the trails and snuggling! Thank you Hannah!!”

“Heather watched our dog Wyatt over Easter weekend. She took amazing care of him and took him on lots of fun adventures including hikes and to Easter dinner with her family. Wyatt was very happy when we got back and was tuckered out from having so much fun. Heather was great with providing updates on how Wyatt was doing and our house was spotless when we got home. I would definitely recommend Heather as a dog/house sitter.”

About: In my younger years, I had clinical experience working in a veterinary setting, which gives me an understanding of animal health, behaviour, and attentive, preventative care. I’m comfortable recognizing subtle changes in pets, supporting medication routines when needed, and maintaining consistency to keep animals calm, safe, and happy. Through our business, WellNest Home & Pet Care, we provide reliable, in-home pet sitting and house care services. We are a mature, responsible couple offering a calm, consistent presence—ideal for pets who thrive on routine, companionship, and low-stress environments. I work alongside my partner, a former Property Maintenance Manager, who brings extensive experience in home care, safety, and property upkeep. Together, we ensure both your pets and your home are fully cared for while you’re away. We have experience caring for dogs, cats, and aquariums, including feeding, exercise, companionship, and maintaining structured routines. We are especially mindful of anxious, senior, or sensitive pets and tailor our care to their individual needs. In addition to pet care, we also provide full home support, including security checks, plant and garden care, and general property oversight—so you can travel with complete peace of mind. We are fully insured, background checked, and available to travel. As experienced Airbnb Superhosts, we take pride in cleanliness, communication, and respect for your home. You can expect regular updates, photos, and prompt communication throughout your time away. Pet care fits very naturally into our routine. We are retired and have a flexible schedule, so your pets will have consistent companionship throughout the day. We focus exclusively on in-home house sitting, allowing your pets to stay in their familiar environment and routine while you’re away. We are also willing to travel for the right opportunity. We provide care exclusively in your home, where your pets feel most safe and comfortable. We follow your routines closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. With my background as a veterinary technician, I’m attentive to changes in behaviour and health, and prioritize safety at all times. Having two of us also means your home and pets are rarely left unattended. As experienced Airbnb hosts, we understand the importance of respecting your space. We keep your home clean, secure, and well cared for, and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

“We are beyond happy and satisfied with Ashley’s service. It’s so comforting and good to know that our little Maggie is in such loving hands when we’re gone for any length of time. Anyone reviewing Ashley should not hesitate to see if she’s available to you - but US first…!”

“Melanie stayed at my home for 2 weeks to take care of my cat Angel. I have to say that she was absolutely wonderful. My cat was very comfortable with Melanie and she took fantastic care of her. She left my home spotless, the way I left it. I have never had such a marvelous sitter. I would absolutely book Melanie again. Melanie went above and beyond and took loads of pictures of Angel as the progression of my cat's trust became greater. If you want the greatest sitter book Melanie P. Once again Thank You, thank you to Melanie!!”

“This is the second time Neeru cared for our dogs. They were very happy when we arrived and she always notices everything about them/their behaviour. Also keeps us updated about everything. Thank you!”

“Toby and Misty thoroughly enjoyed being taken care of by Katie and her step son. They spent lots of time outside and played and hung out around the fire. They also spent time with our three chickens. We were thoroughly pleased with Katie's communication and care. My husband and I were able to go on our business trips at ease, knowing that everything and everyone was in great hands. We would happily ask Katie to watch our fur-babies again.”

About: What sets me apart as an animal sitter is a lifetime of experience and a genuine passion for caring for animals of all kinds. I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and have had the privilege of caring for them at every stage of life, from tiny babies to elderly companions. My experience includes everything from daily dog walking to specialized care for pets recovering from surgery or living with health conditions. I’m comfortable providing attentive support to senior animals, handling medication routines, and making sure each pet feels safe and cared for. Whether it’s active playtime, quiet companionship, or following detailed care instructions, I approach each pet with patience and understanding. Pet sitting for me is more than just a service—it’s an extension of my lifelong passion for animal care. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and well looked after while their families are away. I am currently balancing a part-time schedule which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to your pets. My routine allows for consistent check-ins and playtime sessions throughout the week. I am particularly available for boarding on weekends and can accommodate weekday requests after 2pm to ensure your animals get the attention they deserve. I provide a calm and attentive environment for all my visitors. I currently have two cats of my own so I am very comfortable managing feline dynamics and specialized care needs. Whether I am at your home or mine I prioritize a secure setting. I am experienced with maintaining feeding schedules and ensuring a high standard of cleanliness for all pets in my care.

About: I love animals, especially dogs. I like creating a nice environment for them with fresh water, food and play indoors and out. Lots of physical exercise in the yard and on trails and at the river. I have had a dogs and cats, birds and rabbits since childhood. I am very responsible and kind and fun. I have 18 years experience as a care worker for medically fragile and disabled people and the home. I also take care of the animals in the home and grooming and safety. I am happy to open my home to caring for people’s animals and look forward to getting to know your family and your animals. Take Care, CJ. I have plenty of time to give attention to pets in our home. The animals are first in the routine with fresh water, food and outdoor exercise. I have a large, private lot that the dogs can play in on their leash. We have a large home where I provide very safe care for every animal.

“We hired Giang to stay in our house for two weeks to take care of our cat and two dogs. She was wonderful with communication, pictures and updates that had us laughing and feeling like she was in tune with their personalities. We felt like they were in good hands, as was our house, and would use her again in the future.”

About: Took a break from Rover to care for an ailing parent. Now we're back and ready to offer exceptional and loving care to your fur baby. Over the past 25 years, we have owned many breeds of dogs, from puppies to older furry friends, giving us extensive experience in pet care. Our fur baby passed away last fall so looking to fill the void by caring for new furry friends in our neighborhood. We are retired and one of us is always home. We love to putter around our yard and will have plenty of time to walk, play and indulge our furry guests. We prefer having your fur baby stay at our home. We have close to an acre of land so plenty of space to play. It's a non fenced yard but we have a 100 foot leash that allows them to explore the property while staying safe. They'll never be left out alone! When in the house with us, they're welcome to join us on the couch and we're happy to have them snuggle on the bed with us. We want our furry guests to feel safe, secure and loved while visiting.

“Lisa is incredible! This was our first time using a service for our dog, so it was a difficult decision to have some new watch our do, and spend the time doing it from our home. While Lisa stayed at our home, we agreed for her to bring her dog as well, who played with ours all the time and is such a good boy. So kind, easy going, friendly and playful. She took our dog for walks, drives, to see Christmas lights, to her animal sanctuary, all with advance permission of course. She communicates all the time, sent pictures, videos and comments about the fun he is having, keeping me always in the loop. When we arrived home, our house was in perfect condition. I actually wondered if it was cleaner then we had left it! :) I highly recommend Lisa, without a doubt. She is so kind, friendly, and so lovely. We will definitely be hiring her again and plan on hopefully setting up play dates with her dog and ours as well. Thank you so very much Lisa!”

About: Lifetime dog Mom. We have boarded dogs from 1 night to 20 nights so far. We have had Mini and teacup poodles, Dachshunds, Goldens, Labs, Labradoodles, Bichons, Schnauzers and other mixed breeds. We have great relationships with all of our pet families. We are a family of four, my husband and I have been in Richmond for 27 years in the same home. We live in a bungalow with a fenced yard. Many furry guests have enjoyed lazing in the sun in our front window, on our backyard deck and have enjoyed going for long walks in our dog friendly, and walking through the conservation area alongside the Jock River. We have two grown sons - 21 and 25. We all work full time, and there’s always somebody home. We are all animal lovers. I grew up with a shepherd and a lab. Our family has had the love of Ruby, a beagle and the most fun with Freddie, our beloved Bichon-Poodle. We laid Freddie to rest in Sept 2021. Our home is open to doggie silliness and company. I’ve done pet and house sitting for friends and family for years. Our primary interest is in hosting low or non-shedding dogs. Doodles, poodles, schnauzers, dachshunds, GMD, you get the idea. We love small to medium breeds. But check with me because I do love them all and would be willing to try any breed. I like to arrange a meet and greet and have a trial stay before committing to a long term 1-2 week stay. Our family has taken many roads trips and brought our own dogs with us over many years, now we are avid campers/glampers (travel trailer) and, when our customers approve, we have taken some of our furry guests with us. We understand both your concerns and your needs for a worry free time away. We are ready to care for your pet and give you peace of mind while away. Please note that we may take dogs from 2 families at one time during busy seasons and are well set up to manage this. Our home is a relaxed space and we always make sure the furry guests are kept stress free. I work full-time (mostly remotely) - when I have to be in the office I make arrangements with my sons to help out with dog walking and check-ins. My days ebb and flow. I can take the time necessary to get up early with your dog and get them walked, fed and settled before I start my day. I often have breaks during the day and can take them out a couple of times per day as necessary. We also have a fenced yard and a dog door to our large deck and yard. My pet sitting style is to give dogs lots of play, attention, snuggly places to nap and enough love so they don’t miss you too much while you’re away - hoping you and your pet will be comfortable never stressed. I can care for your furry family members in my home or in yours. I know it helps dogs and cats feel less stressed when they can stay home, follow their routines and be in safe and familiar surroundings.

“Abigail was a great pet sitter for our fur babies. Kept us updated with messages and pics while we were away which alleviated any concerns we had about our dogs. Our flight was delayed a few days and Abigail kindly accommodated our request for an extension and the transfer of our dogs to a family member. Left our house spotless. We will definitely be calling on her again.”
