“Heidi impressed me in our meet and greet when I explained that LuLu was very skittish and probably would not come out from under the bed. Heidi got down in her hands and knees and located LuLu, and has sent me pictures every day, which melted away my separation anxiety. The communication was excellent, and I would definitely request Heidi in the future!”
“Oh my goodness Kim is a phenomenal cat sitter!! We came back from a 6 day trip and our picky senior cats acted like we’d never been gone. She sent great pics of them each day so I could see all the love and attention they were getting. Kim was also kind enough to handle mail and packages, and even left us a lovely welcome home treat. We’ve had mixed experiences with others in the past and it’s comforting to find someone who treats your pets and home so thoughtfully. So glad we found her!”
“My cats are my kids. The only things that matter in the world. My cats are both ferals that came inside, they're not the most cuddly or the most social. Mary likes my cats, my cats like Mary. Mary feeds them on time, spends time with them, gives them treats, and gives me peace of mind when I can't be there for my kids. If I can't watch my cats I'm happiest if Mary can.”
“Hollis is very responsive and was able to help out with a last minute booking. This was a repeat booking and my cats have warmed up to her quickly. I trust her with my fur babies any time.”
“I have two small kittens that I had to leave for a week. They stayed with Riley all week and looked very content and happy in the pictures I received. Riley’s veterinary experience was also a huge peace of mind. Would recommend to anyone!”
About: I have 7 years of experience taking care of dogs. This includes outside dogs, inside dogs, crated dogs etc. I have experience taking care of puppies as well as senior dogs. I’m currently working part time while doing full time online college, this gives me the opportunity to spend more time at home and focus on pet care! I currently do not have a fenced in back yard, to accommodate for this I walk dogs every two hours to ensure they get enough outside time! I also have a crate for any pups that use one.
“My 3 kitties absolutely loved Regan! She was so great about communication and was so thoughtful. She took such great pics to help me feel at ease while I was away. I felt like she genuinely enjoyed spending time with my guys and made sure they got love and cuddles in addition to feeding them. Thank you, Regan!!”
“Kara was a great sitter for our cat Mateo. She took great care of him. Played with him and snuggled with him, sent us daily photo updates, and we came back to a nice clean house. Thank you Kara!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and love them, I play a big part in their daily care. I am very good with them and follow directions well! I’m a college student at Randolph Macon College! I will be working on campus and living there, but I will be very open to help with your pets! I cannot take your pet to my space, but I will treat your home with respect and will keep you well updated. I have also babysat since my early teenage years, I am a good candidate to be in your home!
About: Hello! My name is Kate and I want to meet your pet! I have a seven year old Australian Shepherd who might be the love of my life (don't tell my husband!) I have grown up around dogs but have also taken care of cats and guinea pigs. In all seriousness, I live in the Goochland/Short Pump area and offer pet walking during the day. I'm a super active person who works from home and has the time to commit to make sure your pet is well taken care of! My first dog (a Westie) lived to be almost 17 and by the end of his life, needed a variety of medicines throughout the day and so that is another service that I can offer. I hope to meet you and your furry friend soon! I work from home starting late morning and also typically go to the park everyday after work (depending on the weather). I am available before work, during lunch, and after work. I make sure that your pet has plenty of water and play time before I leave the visit! I always make sure your pet is comfortable and we can play as much as they want!
“Kelly did a great job with our 3 cats while we were away. Since two of them refuse to come out when anyone comes over, she had to do most of the work unseen and unappreciated. Thanks so much, Kelly!”
About: I have had dogs and cats since I was young. I enjoy the time I get to spend with them. I love these guys truly. I currently work Monday through Friday. I schedule my day around being able to care for my own pups. And can fit ur pets routines into my day. I have 3 wonderful dogs and can incorporate your pup into my home with no problem. I foster a lot my dogs are very tolerant of newcomers.
About: Hey, my name is Erin! I’ve had my own animals my entire life, but I also have 4 years of dog training professionally. I worked for the company Dogtopia (a great dog daycare/boarding facility) as a canine coach and assistant manager. I worked hands on in the room with the dogs during open play, and one on one in grooming and training sessions. Unfortunately, my husband travels for work so a traditional 9-5 doesn’t always work for me, hence finding my own lane with Rover! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend. :) I work from home remotely part time as a paralegal, and outside of that I am a stay at home wife. Pet care fits seamlessly into my life and I am open to working with clients to help accommodate special time needs. I cannot accommodate watching your pup at my own home because I have my own rescue who does not want to share the space. Thank you for understanding!
