Pet Sitting Church Hill North

About: I frequently dogsit for friends and family, and I've had my soul-dog for 5 years! She's a rescue shepherd-husky mix and has taught me SO much about training and caring for a smart, high-energy dog! She's entering her senior years and has slowed down a lot, which means I have more time in my day to care for other pups, whether it's a check-in, walk, or boarding in my home. I have a fenced front and back yard, and with my location in Church Hill, there are countless places to walk and explore. I currently work from home 95% of the time! The other 5% is a mix of working at coffee shops and going in to my work's coworking space, but I'm never away from home for more than 8 hours a day. My days are very flexible and I'm happy to work around you and your pup's schedule! I have a fenced front yard that is grassy and a shady, fenced back patio/yard that pups can run around in. I only take 1 boarding or day-care client at a time, so your dog gets my full attention (alongside my pup!). Your dog must be friendly around other dogs for boarding or day care.

“Maria was great! We were so grateful she agreed to drop in on our two kitties on super short notice, and was very easy to work with. She sent detailed notes and photos and took great care of our boys. Thank you Maria, look forward to working with you again in the future!!”

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I grew up with a German Shepherd and was one of his primary caregivers, taking him on walks, arranging playdates, and providing his daily care, including administering medications. I also volunteered at a local dog shelter for several years during undergrad, where I regularly walked and cared for a variety of dogs. Outside of my own experience, friends and family often rely on me to check in on their dogs and house-sit for extended periods. I’m comfortable with dogs of all personalities and sizes and will treat your pup like my own! I am currently a student, so my schedule is flexible. My weekends and evening are open for house sitting or dropping in for walks for your puppies! When at your home, I make sure to keep a tidy environment and return all items used back to their original spot cleaned while giving your furry friends love and enrichment with walks, tug-a-war, and more!

“Erica was a huge help to us watching our dog and looking after our garden!! From all the photos my dog looked so happy and comfortable. Would definitely book again!”

“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.

“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!”

“This was our second time booking with Elijah to check on our two cats while we were away for a week and we are very happy with how everything went! He’s super communicative and thorough and our cats seem to really enjoy his visits. Our cats have also had some medical issues recently and it provided so much peace of mind to have someone trustworthy and reliable stopping by to care for them. Thanks so much, Elijah!”

“Newish to RVA and first time using Rover. Alyssa was great with my 13yo kitty, Rizzo. She was professional, timely, and communicative. I loved receiving daily photos and updates while I was traveling. Knowing Alyssa was watching my baby gave me peace of mind. I would rebook Alyssa without hesitation!”

“Gabriel was awesome to work with! He was professional, punctual, and knowledgeable. Most importantly, he was great with our anxious dog and even helped care for our home by watering plants and checking the mail. I cannot recommend him enough! Anyone who books with him should consider themselves luck. We’ll definitely book with him again”

About: 25 years of experience caring for my own dogs. Friends and neighbors also rely on me to pet sit (includes exercise, play, meals, and meds) I work from home in Church Hill and am able to provide care in the morning, mid day, and evening. I do my best to ensure that they stick to their usual routine. All dogs also get a leashed walk - length and pace depends on their physical condition (older dogs may be more interested in sniffing and strolling while younger pups need to burn more energy). I also provide some playtime inside or outside in a fenced area (if available). Meals and medication are distributed as instructed.
