About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember.. Growing up with everything from cats and dogs to rabbits, spiders, ferrets and even the occasional rescue critter. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly feel at home when I’m surrounded by furry friends. I absolutely adore cats! Their quirky personalities & quiet cuddles melt my heart & I love the energy & companionship dogs bring. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal with the same love & care I give my own. My schedule has its quirks, but it works in your pet’s favor! Tuesdays and Thursdays are actually my most flexible days, perfect for morning and evening walks or extended hangouts with your furry companion. As a full-time grad student and part-time social worker, my hours can be a little unpredictable but I always make time for what matters. Even with a busy calendar, caring for animals is a priority I never push aside. Whether it’s a midday drop-in or a sunset stroll, I’m happy to fit in the love and attention your pet deserves. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are at the heart of the care I provide. Whether I’m coming to your home for a walk, a cuddle session, or staying for an overnight house sit, I treat your space and your pets with the utmost respect and care. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry family member in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. I follow any routines you’ve set, keep their environment clean and peaceful, and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. Whether it’s daily check-ins, long walks, or overnight companionship, I show up with patience, attention, and genuine care.

“Kyla was so incredible! She sent frequent updates throughout the weekend and gave me such peace of mind while I was away from my pet! Can't recommend her enough!”


“I recently hired Kyle as a house and dogsitter, and I couldn't be more impressed with his service. From the moment he stepped into my home, I felt at ease knowing my house and beloved pets were in capable hands. Not only did he maintain the cleanliness and security of my home, but he also went above and beyond in caring for my furry companions. He followed all instructions meticulously, ensuring my pets' routines were maintained and that they received plenty of love and attention. Kyle demonstrated exceptional responsibility and reliability throughout his stay, and I returned to find my house in impeccable condition and my pets happy and healthy. I highly recommend Kyle for anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring house and dogsitter. His professionalism and genuine love for animals truly set him apart.”


“Alex did a great job with our 2 pups. He took detailed notes at our meet and greet and followed their feeding and walking schedules carefully. Great communication and pics so we knew they were receiving good care. We’ve already booked Alex for our next time away”


“Kali is my go-to dog sitter. She always does great with my little Morty Mouse whether its boarding or in-home sitting. She is reliable, communicative, and a true animal lover. Morty knows her by name and always feel safe and loved when we go out of town. Hire Kali and your pets will be loved just like youre at home”


“Emily did an incredible job taking care of our dog Pepper! She was happy to assist us with a last minute house sitting request when the family members who were originally going to watch our dog had to cancel for a personal matter. Even prior to being formally booked, Emily was quick to respond and receptive to the specific needs of our dog. We were able to set up a meet-and-greet between Emily and Pepper a few days before the house sitting, and it was clear that Emily was the right choice - our dog can be hesitant around new people, but she quickly warmed up her new friend. On the day of our departure, Emily arrived early enough for us to hand over our house keys safely and within 5 minutes of us being out the door we had our first update that Pepper was happily cuddling with Emily on our couch. On the following days, Emily provided regular picture & text updates about how our dog was doing and it was clear the two of them were getting along great. We couldn't be happier - thank you!”

“Christopher paid good attention when we were going over their care and information. He took good care of our pets while we were gone and sent plenty of pictures!”
Cullenwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
One word to describe Christine and that is AWESOME. She took care of my 4 month old puppy for my first time leaving her and she nailed it. She kept me updated with the cutest photos and I could tell right away she was loving and caring for my little girl. She even helped with training as we are in a puppy class. I will use Christine in all my future pet sitting needs as long as she is available, as I hope she always is for me.

Kim went above and beyond in watching our dog while we were away. Her care and communication were excellent, and we enjoyed the pictures and text updates that she sent. Our house was also spotless when we arrived back, and our dog was happy and healthy. Kim even left some sweet surprises for us when we returned, and took the time to meet our dog twice before watching her for the first time. We would recommend Kim for petsitting to anyone, including our family and friends. She is a special person!

Joy was amazing!! She stayed with our dog for 7 days. Our dog can be a lot to handle and she did it perfectly. I received an update and cute photo each day. She was very tidy, organized, and most of all- trustworthy! The list of compliments to give her is endless. Forrest is a very active dog with some anxiety. He usually doesn’t do well on a leash, but Joy was able to walk him with some slack on the leash. That’s a huge milestone for our dog. I know he loved every minute of it. While Forrest was very excited to see me, he kept checking to see if Joy was coming back. He definitely misses her. Joy will always be the first person I reach out to when we need someone to take care of Forrest!

Wow! Where do I start, Jennifer is beyond amazing from the moment my dogs met her they loved her, she was so sweet and took such good care of my babies, I came out to Richmond to spend some time with my family and I needed someone to watch my babies and I found Jennifer. I’m so grateful for her she sent me updates and pictures of them hourly to reassure me they were doing well! I felt so at ease leaving them with her. I def recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for your dogs or cats. She’s very flexible and very accommodating. Thank you Jennifer for everything!

Katie was a wonderful dog sitter! She was great at communicating and shared updates throughout the week, which made me feel confident that my dog was in the perfect hands. My pup was in such great spirits when I got home which was great too. I know Katie had such a big impact on making sure he was comfortable in my absence and had plenty of love. Would absolutely recommend to others needing a reliable and kind sitter!
