Cat Sitting Crozier

“Kim was so great! Visits were consistent every day (which I know my cats appreciated), and many of the daily pictures she sent are so good I could frame them! I really enjoyed working with Kim and look forward to calling on her again the next time we’re out of town.”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them and can't imagine life without them. Twice a week I volunteer at a local dog rescue, which keeps me sharp on handling dogs of all ages, temperments, and needs. I also share my home with cats, so I understand feline routines and personalities just as well as I do dogs. From playful puppies and kittens to gentle seniors who need a little extra patience, I am able to offer an energetic walk or a calm, reassuring visit to your pet's day. I bring genuine love, attentiveness, and real hands-on experience to every walk and drop-in. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have a consistent schedule and enjoy planning my days around the pets I am caring for. I volunteer at a dog rescue on Monday and Friday mornings and have a few standing commitments on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Outside of those times, I have a flexible schedule and am committed to maintaining each pet's individual or household routines. I am very reliable, thrive with structure, and always make sure the pets in my care receive the attention and consistency they deserve. I believe pets thrive with a consistent routine and am able to follow instructions closely for feeding, litter box cleaning, walks, medications, brushing, and any other custom and daily care. I also pay close attention to each pet's behavior and body language so I am able to recognize when something seems out of character or when they need a different approach, committing to always notify the owner for follow up. I never force interactions or activities- for example, if a dog is not interested in a walk, I will adjust and find an alternative way to keep them engaged and comfortable. Above all, I prioritize a clean, safe, and low-stress environment where both cats and dogs feel secure and well cared for.

“Wendy was fantastic! I appreciate how she kept me well informed. Clearly both my cat and dog loved her!”

“Kate was so amazing with our two pets! Can’t recommend her enough! :)”

“We were in a pinch to find a dog sitter after my mom injured her foot before we were scheduled to travel. So thankful we found Carleen!! She was fantastic with our three pups, even in the face of some unexpected digestive issues. Carleen was responsive, provided regular status updates (and photos), and followed our somewhat intricate potty and feeding routine perfectly (with three dogs, if can be a bit much!). It was such a relief to know we were leaving our babies in the hands of someone who clearly loves animals as much as we do. We cannot recommend her enough!!”

Mackenzie D.

“We felt completely comfortable when we were away. The animals loved Natasha and her daughter. So nice to find someone you can trust with your fur babies.”

About: I have previous experience working as a field manager for a professional pet care company where I have taken care of dozens of dogs/cats of all ages with many different routines/needs, I have my Pet First Aid and CPCR certification, and I currently have two young German Shepherd pups of my own! I have always been very passionate about animals and know how important it is to feel that your pets are in good hands when you are away. I currently work an early morning part-time job, which leaves me the rest of the day to play with your pups! I am available during the week and on most weekends for boarding and walking. I live near many different walking trails to keep your dogs entertained. I have a fenced in yard and two young German Shepherd dogs who LOVE playing with other dogs. I have crates and gates if needed. I do my best to keep animals close to their usual daily routines so they are as comfortable as possible while they are away from their owners.

“Mark is great for recurring drop in visits! Odin was sound asleep from all the play when i got home (or perhaps just cause hes a frenchie haha).”

About: I truly love animals and care for every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, and always try to make pets feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to adjust to each pet’s personality and routine. I also love sending photo updates so owners can feel at ease. Spending time with animals is honestly one of the best parts of my day. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy making time for walks, playtime, cuddles, feedings, and check-ins throughout the week. Caring for pets feels natural to me, and I love making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with care and respect, always following your instructions closely to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I pay attention to routines, keep things clean and consistent, and make sure your pet feels calm, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I also send regular updates so you always know how things are going.

“Ver friendly and followed all care steps. Will be requesting again!”

“My wife has always had someone to watch her dog, but we recently built a house and she moved to Goochland County. It was our first time using the Rover service and Riley was great. She sent notes and pictures to keep us updated on each stay. She was great and will be using her services again!”

“Damacia is extremely kind, thorough and communicative. We had a last minute request and he over delivered! They followed instructions very well and provided lots of comforting updates.”

About: With 30+ years of hands-on animal care experience, caring for animals isn’t just a hobby for me — it’s a lifelong passion. I grew up around my grandparents’ AKC dog kennel & have cared for everything from dogs & cats to reptiles, exotic birds, & unique critters. I studied Veterinary Assisting at Massanutten Technical Center & dual-enrolled in Veterinary Technology at Blue Ridge Community College, where I completed internships in both small animal clinics & large animal (farm) settings. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, including puppies, seniors, & animals needing extra patience or specialized care. Whether your pet has fur, feathers, scales, or something a little more unusual, I provide a safe, loving, & stress-free environment where they’ll be treated like family. Pet care has always been a big part of my life, & I’m fortunate to have the flexibility to make your pets a priority. With over 30 years of animal care experience, including growing up around an AKC dog kennel & veterinary assisting training, I understand that pets are family & deserve personalized attention. My routine allows me to provide consistent care, including walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication needs, & plenty of love & companionship. I take pride in creating a safe, calm, & comfortable environment where pets feel cared for while their owners have peace of mind. Safety, trust, & comfort are always my top priorities when caring for your pets. I believe every pet has their own personality & needs, so I take the time to learn their routines, behaviors, & what helps them feel happy and secure. With over 30 years of animal care experience, including growing up around an AKC dog kennel & completing Veterinary Assisting training, I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies & kittens to senior pets who need extra patience, comfort, & attention. I’m comfortable providing care for pets with different personalities, including shy, anxious, or special-needs animals. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, recognizing changes in behavior, & providing a calm environment where pets feel safe. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, I treat every animal with the same compassion and respect I would want for my own. My goal is to give your pets loving, dependable care while giving you peace of mind that they are in capable hands.

“Shannon has been fantastic! She is very detailed with her care of our dog Hobbes. She has always been there when we need her and done a great job! I never have to worry if she will be there when she says she will. If you are searching for a great dog walker I can say your search is over because you found her!”

“Jenna did an exceptional job caring for my senior small dog. If I could give more stars, I would! She gave me photos and video and an honest observation of my dog on each visit. I would 100% request her to come over again!”

“My Louie can be a bit of a challenge… and Esther was great with him! She was patient while he warmed up to her, sending me photos and information along the way. He actually looked like he was smiling! I came home to a happy, healthy pup. Thank you, Esther! We can’t wait to use you again!”

“I love working with Kelly and her sister! They are very easy to get in touch with and keep you updated on everything. They are my go-to for when I need drop-in visits when I am out of town. Highly recommended!”

About: Hello there! I’m Sam. I’ve loved animals since I was 9 years old and have been a pet sitter on Rover for over 4 years now. As you can see from all my reviews, I enjoy being part of this community! Currently, I have two fur babies of my own: Tango, a Norwegian Elkhound, and Scout, a Pitbull/Yorkie mix. In 2024, my beloved Timmy, a dachshund senior dog passed away at 15 years old, so I also have personal experience caring for older dogs who need a little extra love and specialized attention. I know firsthand how important and how difficult it is to find someone you can completely trust with your pets while you're away. I can assure you that your fur baby will be in safe hands with me. A Little Perk: I just got a nice camera and am looking to practice my photography! I am offering free digital pictures with any house-sitting or drop-in booking. I currently work a remote 9-to-5 job with plenty of flexibility, meaning I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet's specific routine and needs throughout the day. I do not offer services in my home since I live in an apartment with my 2 dogs. I have a reliable means of transportation, and I can make any special accomodations for your pets if necessary.
