“My sweet boy is always in great hands when Kade watches him! He is working thru some medical issues and had a lot of medicine needs and Kade always gets them administered and still has time for a little cuddle.”


“This was my second time using Thane and, as expected, they were great! They gave my kitty Rat all the snuggles he requires and had no problem with his medication. Their updates each visit were thorough. I was a bit disorganized while planning this time away and they were very understanding. I’m so glad to have found them!”


“Kyla did a great job looking after my cats. It was easy to set things up, she arrived as scheduled, communicated well throughout, and my cats liked her too.”


“Meghan was amazing. Went above and beyond on everything we asked of her. She was very informative and took a lot of great pictures. She gave our dog his medicine daily and even went so far as to bring him some toys. I would highly recommend and definitely use Meghan personally again!”


“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!”


“Rachel is the best cat sitter! She is so communicative and is able and happy to deal with my quirky cats! They can be timid with new people but they have liked Rachel from the start. I will always use and recommend Rachel!”


“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!”


“We hired Catherine because of her numerous great reviews. She was available for the time we needed and was prompt to schedule a meet and greet. Catherine was very likable, personable, and relatable. We needed someone who we could trust to watch our pups but also would be respectful to our home as well, knowing she had over 80+ great reviews gave us peace of mind. She watched our pups while we were away on vacation. She was very communicative and kept us up to date with how our fur babies were doing, sending updates and photos. We had her come to our home for 30 min visits, where she fed them, took them outside for potty breaks, and spent some time loving on them. We have a female 11 yr old yorkie, and a male 4 yr old vizsla,our yorkie is just loveable towards everyone, but our vizsla he was a bit apprehensive in the beginning with her but Cat was determined to win him over and by midweek he finally warmed up to her. I would highly recommend Catherine to anyone who is looking for someone to come into their home and care for their pets.”


“Maria did a great job with my dogs when i had to put in a last minute sitter request. I have one dog who is afraid of most people and she took to Maria quickly, i don't know how she did it!! Maria was quick to call or text with any questions or updates, I def recommend her as a sitter!”


“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.

“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!”


“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!”


“Abby was great! This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Abby was proactive in scheduling a meet and greet, maintained the agreed upon visits and even got close to our very timid cat! We appreciated the frequency of communication and the peace of mind being away from our little bug so much. Highly recommend Abby!”


“Cynthia was great! Kept us updated with photos and took extra care to keep our naughty cat that gets into everything out of trouble. It was so relieving to come home to two happy kitties and no stress while we were out 😊”


“Rachel took great care of my dogs when I was away. She was very communicative and kept me well updated about how the dogs were doing the entire time. I would definitely book Rachel again!”


“Elle was super attentive to my two kitties while I was away for the weekend. I was so grateful for the check-ins every time she visited since one of my cats is more nervous around new people. I’m so happy that I’ll be able to hire Elle again to check in on them when I’m out of town!”


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.
