Pet Sitting Carver

About: I have personal and professional experience with dogs, working at a doggy daycare for a short amount of time (dealing with 40 dogs at a time was not for me) and being a lifelong dog owner and caretaker. I currently have two shih-tzus who are the cutest! I have dealt with dogs that have needs ranging from: Young puppies, Anxiety, obesity, dietary restrictions, diabetes, intense general health issues, anger/aggression, bad leash manners etc… I do my best to meet your dog where they are at and provide the best care I can and reinforcing the behaviors you stride for when you’re away. I’ve been a dog sitter for 5 years, a doggy daycare (Dogtopia) employee for 6 months and a doggy lover forever! I am a VCU student with classes on only Tuesday and Thursday, I am fast, reliable, professional, I will always be on time and make sure your animals get the best quality care that they deserve. I always make sure to follow the rules of every client that graciously trusts me to be in their home. Roommates make personal boarding unsafe and unpredictable, However I have reliable transportation and will be there to take care of your pup (or kitty) right on time for walks, overnights, visits, and long term stays.

“Kira is such a wonderful young lady. The first time I booked with her she was explaining to me about how her mom used to train dogs and in the short amount of time we talked about my dog she managed to teach me a couple things and more importantly my boy loves her!!! Don’t plan on booking anyone else during my time in Richmond.”

“Jonathan was awesome dropping in to check on our two cats for the week. He sent pictures every day and gave a full report on how they were doing each visit. We definitely recommend, and will be using his services again in the future.”

“Eliza did a great job walking Teddy! She was on time and took photos. I can tell she is comfortable with dogs and in tune with their needs. Teddy was excited to walk with her and was a happy dog when he came home! I will definitely be hiring her again for more walks.”

“Devinder takes great care of my cat Theo, who can be a bit sassy and territorial, especially when it comes to his personal space. I’d definitely recommend Devinder to anyone with a quirky or particular pet - he handles them with care!”

“Lila was super responsive and dependable while watching our two cats for a long weekend! Even though our shy kitties didn’t give her much face time, she made sure to stay 30 mins to let them adjust to her presence. Her daily reports were very detailed and gave us peace of mind during our time away. We’d love to rebook Lila in the future and would definitely recommend her to any pet parent ?”

Stephanie S.

“My first experience with Rover and I could not have chosen a better pet sitter! My cat is normally very shy around unfamiliar people- she took to Chynna instantly. The pictures of Luna instantly put me at ease. I will definitely rebook with her next time!!”

“This was our first time having Jeffrey do drop ins for our three wild kids and he was AMAZING! Great communication, super professional, loved on our doggos just like we would!”

“Kallie was a great sitter. She was able to connect quickly with me when I had to go out of town last minute. Ragnar was well taken care of. Would recommend her to folks looking for a pet sitter and would use her again.”

Robin M.

“Danyelle is AMAZING!!! Took such great care of my boys over a holiday. Gave me daily updates and even put up with some of their eating "quirks", which isn't always easy. But she was super patient with them and gave them all the love they needed while I was gone. I was so super happy and relaxed to know they were in such great and caring hands. Heck, even just the trek to my trash can for litter box cleaning was an extra effort in and it's self. Can't recommend Danyelle enough!”

Mike T.

“Jillian did a great job. She showed up at the appointed times, fed the dogs and gave them a bunch of "sugar". My dogs just love her and really enjoy her company. I don't worry about them when Jillian is taking care of them.”

George L.

“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.”

“Thane was so amazing for my pupper while I was away! Rhubs can be a bit reactive with new people and they handled it perfectly, letting my dog get comfortable on her time. So grateful to have found such a great dog sitter!”

“Holland was amazing! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly great with my dogs. I loved getting updates and photos after each visit—it gave me total peace of mind. My dogs were happy and well cared for, and I’ve already rebooked with her. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“Robin was so wonderful! She took excellent care of my son, sent lots of pictures, communicated effectively, and treated my home with respect. I would book with her again in a heartbeat, and I recommend her to anyone looking for top tier pet care!”
