“Kyla was so great for drop-in visits this past week! She's very sweet and my normally shy cats warmed up to her pretty quickly. She had great communication with the daily updates and pictures :) no notes, and will definitely see if she's available to book again next time I'm out of town. Thanks again, Kyla!”

“My slightly curmudgeonly JRT mix loved loved loved Catherine immediately. She's usually a little bit suspicious of new people, but not Catherine.”

“Kathleen is such a gem—so great with my cat and SO helpful for me. Punctual, incredibly sweet, she has also been extremely flexible and patient two times when I was having trouble with my remote unlock from my smart lock. She's really been a lifesaver. Book her, you won't regret it!”

Zoe M.

“Thank you Maria and Luis for watching Neyland and Nala while I was out of town! I booked them a few days prior because my dog contracted kennel cough from daycare. Maria did a meet and greet with me, took Neyland outside 3 times a day, and gave him his food with medications. Neyland is reactive with people and dogs but they handled him wonderfully! Thank you guys :)”

“I’m never using anyone else! Tyler has a genuine love and passion for animals that shows in her visits and when she hosts. You won’t just get pictures of your dog playing in backyard - she actually spends time with your pup”

About: I'm officially back and excited to work with new clients! What really sets me apart is my genuine love for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Through my volunteer work with rescue organizations, humane societies, and wildlife rehabilitation centers, I've learned to connect with pets who might be shy, anxious, or just need a little extra patience. I'm especially comfortable with senior pet care (thanks to my own elderly cats), medication administration, and working with special needs animals. My late staffie rescue taught me that the most misunderstood dogs often make the most loyal companions, so I have a real soft spot for bully breeds and "difficult" cases. I've also got experience with puppy energy management – I can tire out even the most determined zoomie sessions! Friends joke that I'm a "cat whisperer," though I'll admit one particularly stubborn feline took me 15 years to win over. Whether your pet needs gentle senior care, high-energy adventures, or just someone who won't blink at their quirky habits, I'm here for it. No creature is too unusual – I've cared for everything from traditional pets to more exotic companions! After leaving academia to pursue my passion for writing and art, I've discovered the joy of a flexible schedule. I spend most of my time outdoors anyway (turns out fresh air is much better for creativity than stuffy lecture halls), so having some four-legged companions along for the adventure sounds like a no-brainer. Plus, I've learned that pet adventures are the perfect antidote to writer's block. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe and loved while you're away. I'm experienced with administering medications, maintaining routines, and reading those subtle pet signals that tell you when something's not quite right. My own little crew includes two senior cats (14 and 17) and a wonderfully patient yellow lab who's basically a gentleman and a scholar. One of my cats has special needs, so I'm comfortable with medical care and know how important consistency is for our furry family members.

“Riley was great and took great care of our cat, Figgan. We highly recommend Riley for your cat or dog. She's most careful and concerned about ensuring the best care.”

Rebecca M.

“Excellent cat care! Responsive and goes above and beyond to care for both pets and home. Very glad to have had her looking after things, highly recommend ?”

Eleanor F.

“Katherine took great care of our pups. She was on time, responsive, and followed all of our instructions. She did such a great job that we already booked her for another weekend. Would definitely recommend!”

Dave L.

“So helpful with my baby kitties. I love that she takes lots of pictures. It shows me what a good job she’s doing. Went above and beyond to help me secure my place while I’m out of town. So grateful!”

Mary K.

“Rachel was awesome! It takes a special person to get our very shy kitties to come out for pictures and some pets and she managed both. It was a huge relief that we were able to get someone so reliable on such short notice.”

Kira F.

“Elle always does such an amazing job with our 2 cats! We just got back from a trip that was over a week, and getting the pictures every day from Elle after her visit made us feel confident that the kitties were well taken care of! It’s so nice to be able to leave town and know Elle is visiting!”

Kat O.

“Andrew has been by far the best dog walker you could ask for. Always going above and beyond. He literally offered to install the portable AC in my house while I was at work and the AC went out. Leaving Richmond is going to be hard but finding anyone better with my dog will be impossible!”

About: there! I’m Jordyn Reid, your friendly neighborhood pet sitter. 🐾 I'm a full-time professional by day at VCU, but when I'm not working, I’m all about spending time with animals! Whether it’s a quick walk, playtime in the yard, or some quality cuddle time, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved and cared for. I’ve always had a deep connection with animals—growing up with dogs, cats, and even the occasional guinea pig. .I have worked in pet care for a good majority of my life,in grooming ,kennels, and shadowing veterinarians.I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and secure, especially when their humans are away. So, while I'm working my 9-to-5, I’m still here to offer drop-in visits, evening walks, and weekend care to give your furry friend the attention they deserve. I understand the need for flexibility and will work with your schedule to make sure your pet is in the best hands, whether it’s a long walk, an afternoon snack, or some evening snuggles. 🐶 I currently work full-time but would love to take care of your furry ones around my regular 9-5 job . I am always very available on weekends. I would prefer to sit at your home ,as I find animals more comfortable in surroundings they can recognize ,and my roommate does have a dog who does not get along with other pets so for their safety , I would board at their home. Also when i go on walks I do make sure to keep all other animals away ,as I have learned that some pets just do not get along. I don't feed pets human food ,unless you as the owner is comfortable with that .And I love taking pics of pets so you will constantly be reassured that your little one is happy and safe.
