Erin was such a reliable and attentive cat sitter! I was relieved to see her details and specifics of the boys behavior with drop in visit notes. It helped me know my boys were in great hands. Thank you again Erin!!!!

Holland was great! My cat seemed happy us usual when I got back from my trip, and Holland was great about sending me pictures and videos. She came when she said she would and she sent me videos of how she played with him to assure he was getting his energy out! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will definitely look to use her again!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life of all sizes. I grew up with a great pyranees/ border collie and have a dog of my own who is a dachshund. I dog sat for my neighbor, friends, and relatives frequently. I also have experience in sitting for cats as well. I can also help your dog learn new tricks! I taught my dog how to sit, stay, lay down, paw, roll over, follow, and wait all within 6 months. I am currently a part-time employee and have a dog of my own, so I have plenty of time and experience in pet care to give your furbaby the care they deserve! I’m flexible to what they need. Whatever needs you have for your furbaby I can meet! My dog is very particular, so I am patient, willing and understanding to what your pet needs.

Kay was a wonderful sitter for my three cats for my last minute trip out of town. The photos and notes she left in her reports made it obvious she was paying attention to each of their very different personalities and preferences and that even my very human-selective older cat was comfortable with her. If she is available, I will absolutely hire her again.

About: I’ve always been an animal person and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles, including my own ball python. I also have an Australian Shepherd who can be pretty anxious, so I’m used to being patient with nervous pets and helping them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve pet sat for both dogs and cats, including a cat with a more aggressive personality, so I understand the importance of respecting each animal’s boundaries and adapting to their individual needs. I love getting outside and taking walks, and I’m very familiar with the Richmond area. I also worked as a house cleaner for two years, so I’m comfortable being in clients’ homes and understand the importance of being respectful, trustworthy, and reliable. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe and happy while you’re away! I work about 20 hours a week as an esthetician and make my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. Because I set my own hours, I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I would love to fit pet care into my routine. I believe every pet is different, so I do my best to follow their normal routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping up with their feeding schedule and any specific instructions you provide. For cats staying in my home, I’ll provide a calm, safe environment where they can settle in at their own pace. Having lived with multiple cats of various personalities, I understand that some cats are social while others prefer their space, and I’m happy to accommodate both! I will stay in regular communication, providing updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing!

About: Hi there! I’m Julia. From a young age, I’ve cared for many dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience housebreaking and training puppies in basic commands like sit, stay, and roll-over, as well as caring for senior dogs up to age 14. I understand the patience and care pets of all ages need and always make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I am a full-time college student taking several classes online so I am often home and your pet is never alone for too long. : ) Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always start by discussing expectations and routines. Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to fit their lifestyle. I focus on keeping pets both comfortable and active through walks or playtime.

This was my first time leaving my 3 cats for 5 days. Harlee gave all three such great care and made sure they were well-fed, well-watered, and litter scooped. My cuddly girl Roly even had a new cuddle buddy to look forward to! Would definitely recommend for top-notch care and a refreshing peace of mind.

We asked Grace to check in on our crazy orange cat a few times while we were out of town pretty last-minute, and she exceeded all expectations! She sent lots of pictures and gave great summaries each time she visited. Our cat hates to be alone for too long, and it was such a relief to know that Grace was giving her some much-needed love and attention! We'd definitely use Grace's services again in the future.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Theresa. A friend recommended her to me, and she watched my cat over a long weekend. Right from the initial meet-and-greet, I knew she was the perfect fit, she immediately got down on the floor to meet my cat on her level, which meant so much. While we were gone, her attention to cleanliness and detail was great. She cleaned the water bowls and soft food dishes daily and handled the litter box exactly as instructed. I absolutely loved the tons of photo updates she sent, you could see how safe and comfortable my cat felt around her. On top of everything, she was incredibly accommodating with a last-minute request. I am so grateful for her care and will definitely be booking her again!
