House Sitting in Colonial Heights

“Ileandra was so great during our meet and great, interacting with Chico and asking questions about his personality, routine, and exercise. She immediately put me at ease and made me feel he was in great hands. While I was away she did send updates and pictures and Chico seemed to have a great time getting to stay home and hang with her. Thank you!”

“Would reccomend Caitlin over and over again! I have a pretty reactive dog, Hermie, and Caitlin went above and beyond to meet his needs while house sitting. She kept me up to date with pictures and activities and you could tell how happy he was in her care. This was the first time I've used a house sitter and any anxiety I had was quickly dissipated due to Caitlins experience. Hermie has another friend for life. Thanks again!”

“Austin was wonderful with my medically complicated beagle boy, Rooney. I felt comfortable leaving him in her hands because of all her veterinary training. She also took great care of my apartment. Will rebook!”

“Jo is amazing. We needed her to sit with our geriatric 14 year old dog. She spoiled him with love and affection...exactly what he needs these days! ALL over the Christmas holiday!! She was God sent!”

“Monique was wonderful with our pets, we have four dogs and a cat and our dogs have multiple needs including medication. We came home to happy exhausted pets from their time with Monique!”

“Allyson was attentive to our family's needs and communicative while we were away. Our dogs were relaxed and happy with her. It was a pleasure having her house sit for us.”

About: I have volunteered with animal rescues over the last five years. I have handled dogs of varying sizes, as well as cats. I have taken care of puppies at community events, and I have evaluated whether particular animals with their needs and wants would fit into a potential adopter's home. I have had cats and dogs all my life, but I have been the primary responsible person for my pets for ten years now. One of my dogs has allergies and requires sublingual meds twice a day. I have also given pills to both cats and dogs and had to follow strict dietary regimes. I work full-time Monday through Friday, so I am able to do pet care work Friday after work through Monday mornings. I do get an hour lunch, so I can come let dogs out for lunch on Mondays and Fridays if you are within fifteen minutes of my workplace. I can also do drop ins after work on weekdays, which may be preferred for cat care. I do not have space in my own home to watch your pets, so I will come to you. I do require a meet and greet for both our sakes, so I get to know you and your pets, and you get to know me before having me in your home without you there. I can scoop litter boxes, clean up pet messes, watch pets in a fenced yard, and walk small dogs and larger dogs (I can only walk larger dogs if they have good leash manners due to health reasons.). I will leave everything exactly as you left it.

“Danielle was wonderful, she and Agnarr spent a wonderful time together. I will certainly book Danielle and her services again. I felt really safe and good knowing she was taking care of Agnarr.”

“Savanna deserves every star. She is always professional, attentive and gentle with our sweet old doggie. I so appreciate how Savanna sent us photos and updates daily of our pet while we were away, and took great care of our house and property as well. Thank you, Savanna!”

“Christie took very good care of my 2 cats when I went out of town. She is dependable, knowledgeable and was able to make them feel comfortable around her. I would recommend her to others seeking pet care.”

“What a comfort knowing Phin was home and taken such good care of with Brenda! He lights up when he sees her so I know being away on vacation for a week didn't stress him out and found love and comfort with Brenda each day. Thank you!!!!”

About: I have been around pets all my life but didn't have my own dog up until 3 years ago. It has been an amazing experience learning how smart and how much personality a dog can have. You can say that properly training my dog has been one of the most rewarding things I have done. Im currently studying on my own for a certification which makes my availability extremely flexible. I can meet most of my clients scheduling needs or we can discuss what works best! I recently just moved to Virginia and haven't brought over my Nala, but we own a home and have a great backyard with a fence where your pupper can enjoy themselves. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible with the care of your pet because i know how hard it can be being away from them. I can meet any of your pets activities needs as well administer any medication necessary. Im patient and understanding and my goal is gain yours and your pets trust. Thank you for your time and i cant wait to meet you all soon!

“Abbey took great care of our 9 month old Great Dane (Isla) for 3 nights while we went away. This was the first time that we left our pup overnight and I was nervous to leave her, but it was such a relief to have Abbey watching her. Abbey sent pics and updates throughout the weekend so we were not stressed about Isla and knew she was getting lots of attention, play, and snuggles. I felt like Abbey was very considerate in that she stuck with Isla’s routine and also spent a lot of time with her (which meant a lot especially considering this is the first time we left her). We came home to a happy and healthy puppy so could not have asked for more! On top of that, Abbey clearly took good care of our house when staying there because it was left in excellent shape and looked exactly as it did when we left town. We are SO appreciate of Abbey and the peace of mind she gave us knowing that our dog was being cared for so well while we were gone.”

“Maddy was awesome, she was attentive and the communication was great. We will definitely be using her again. We 100% recommend Maddy.”

About: I will treat your animals like i treat my animals. they are my children if you would like to text me message me threw rover booking, I will not take dogs that are not potty trained fully. If your dog does destroy my house, I will charge a fee, depending on the damage of what they do. i am currently unemployed so i can visit your animals twice a day maybe more and make sure they are fed and ok i can also give them cuddles. i will follow my clients guidelines whether they want their pets to roam freely or they want them to be crated. i will also be sure to secure the house if that is the owners wish

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I currently own two little ones who are my babies. I am one of the only dog people in my family of cat people(though I do love all my siblings kitties)! I’ve raised dogs from puppy to senior dogs and love them at all stages of life. I was always the awkward teen at the parties that would seek out the animal to keep them company. 😂 My current job has me working at somewhat odd hours, but it does leave me available in the early morning, middle of the day, and in the evening to drop in to take care of/play with your fur babies during the week. I also currently don’t work Fridays so I’m fully available for long three day weekends to house sit. I will be sure to treat your home and pets as if they were my own. You can rest assured that I will be punctual, responsive, and reliable throughout the time I would be looking after your lovely pets for you.

“Shawn has been an excellent pet sitter for my two nine-year-old Basset Hound/Australian Shepherd mixes for the last year. She and her daughters have walked, fed, paid attention to, and provided treats for my dogs about one weekend a month and the dogs love them all! Not only am I confident that I am giving my dogs the best care I can even when I am away, Shawn also send me photographic evidence and checks in regularly via text message. I wouldn't trust anyone more! ”

“Kelsey was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure Ms.Ruby was taken care of. She made lots of time for play, made sure she got her medications every night and kept the house neat while I was away for the week. She communicated well, kept me up-to-date on things and was very flexible; all the things you need in a sitter. I’d absolutely hire her again! Thanks so much Kelsey!”

“We needed a pet sitter last minute due to our other option not working out. I found Aubrey and she was absolutely amazing! Our pups had a great time with her. She was respectful of our house and requirements and I can’t say more than great things about her. She even brought them treats and a toy! Thank you again and look forward to booking with you in the future.”

About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs and currently live in a household with two cats and two small dogs. I have worked at a veterinary clinic for well over a year now, so I am comfortable administering medications including liquids, pills and injections. I am knowledgeable about common pet conditions and illnesses as well. I currently work full time but I do go in late/get off early several days during the week plus I don't work Thursdays and only half a day every other Saturday. I will happily take care of your pets days I don't work or before and after my shifts! This of course wouldn't be my first time petsitting in someone else's home that I didn't know well, so I know there are boundaries that are necessary to respect and would never do anything that you have not allowed ahead of time.
