House Sitting Fawnbrook

“Isaiah was a very caring, attentive and professional pet sitter. He followed our pets care instructions well, and they took to him quickly. He sent plenty of photos and updates. We felt assured our beloved animals were in good hands. We will book with him again!”

“Kristen was wonderful! She took excellent care of Pepper and Merlin while we were away. She was attentive to their routines, followed all medication instructions, and made sure they received plenty of attention and quality time. Communication was great throughout, and she kept me informed, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She even went above and beyond by bringing in packages that arrived while we were away. Most importantly, I came home to two happy pups! I would absolutely book with Kristen again and highly recommend her!”

“Emily was great housing sitting our dog, Ginger. She sent us regular updates on Ginger along with photos. We could really enjoy our vacation knowing that Ginger was being loved and cared for at our home. Additionally, Emily was a thoughtful and considerate house guest. We would absolutely have her house sit Ginger again in the future.”

“Sabrina took wonderful care of my two kitties! One of them is usually reserved, but loved Sabrina. She shared so many photos that helped me get through missing my babies during my trip. I definitely recommend Sabrina!”

“Melanie was amazing! She watched our dog for the weekend, and saved us after another sitter had cancelled. She was communicative and kept us updated the whole time with photos and videos. She’s super sweet and reliable. We will definitely book her for future stays.”

“Bruce did a fantastic job caring for my special needs pup and our new 5 month old puppy. We came home to a behaved pup than we left! Cannot recommend highly enough!”

Stephanie B.

“Douglas was such a great pick to hang with our pups and care for our home while we were gone. Our pups like to keep things interesting and Douglas’s patience with them is not only appreciated, but is admired, especially when it came to caring for our senior dog. We would gladly welcome Douglas back to our home, and I know the pups would love that too.”

Taylor S.

“He did a great job with our pets while staying with them! It was nice to know that the animals had someone reliable and attentive looking after them while we were away, and that they could stay where they were comfiest, at home! He handled all of our (and our pets) needs wonderfully and we would gladly have him sit for us again.”

About: I grew up in a multi-cat household and now own 5 cats between my parents and myself! There's no kitty I can't handle - from super social, to shy, to very sassy, I'm known to be able to form a bond with every cat that comes into my care. I'm also a lover of all animals, I owned fish and lizards and have spent a lot of time helping walk and take care of my family's dogs. My animals are my life, and I've been on Rover for almost four years now! I also have a lot of experience working for Happy Cats Concierge LLC in Reston, VA, where I provided a range of services for cats of various quantities, ages, and personalities. Whether your furry friend needs a playmate, cuddle buddy, bodyguard, or just someone to stop by for food and medicine - I got you! My schedule is open and my day-to-day is flexible! Any specific dates I’m unavailable will be reflected on my calendar. Please message me with any other scheduling questions. Inside, outside, leash or no leash, crate, etc., I will honor the owner's wishes for where their furry friend needs to be spending their time. I value consistent routines and attentiveness while your pet is in my care. All of my services will be based in the client's home or neighborhood.

“Triston was incredible! We had to book last minute and Triston stepped up to take care of our 2 dogs and 4 cats! I will definitely be booking with Triston in the future!!”

“Mitch was great! He took good care of my dog while I was out of town and was easy to communicate with. He shared updates while I was gone and I would definitely recommend him and use his services again in the future!”

I would definitely use her again and recommend anyone else to do so!! Ellie is clearly an animal lover and is so sweet!!! She also left my house cleaner than when I left!!”

About: I've been pet sitting since I was a little kid and grew up with dogs and cats, and since I work from home full-time, I have a flexible schedule. I love getting outside for walks and tend to walk 10k steps daily, so if you have an active dog, I’m your girl! I don’t currently have pets of my own, so I love getting to spend quality time with yours! My ultimate goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home from 9am - 5pm, so I’ll be very available during the week. I have set evening plans on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but I have no standing commitments all other days of the week. I will follow whatever protocol you have for your pets. Whether that’s a specific routine, individual needs, and/or keeping you up to date with pics / messages. I want you to feel like your furry friends are in good hands!

About: Hi, my name is Gilbrith! I have lived in Richmond for 10 years and have recently graduated with a masters degree in mental health counseling. I work weekends at a puppy yoga studio - but am looking for more fuzzy companionship! Growing up, my home never had less than two dogs at a time, each of which were considered an equal member of the family. As a child, my parents instilled in me an immense love and respect for animals, and I was taught to anticipate and attend to our dogs' needs from a young age. Besides being surrounded by dogs my entire adolescence, I have been a pet sitter for friends, family members, roommates and colleagues for over 8 years. I have experience caring for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, and hamsters. I am comfortable with puppies and senior dogs, and have some experience with medication management and dogs with special medical needs. I am certified in pet first aid and CPR. I currently have a flexible schedule. I work 2 days a month at the yoga studio. I live a relatively quiet life and am a bit of a homebody, allowing me to spend more quality time with your pet! My top priority is making your pet feel as safe and relaxed as possible, and keeping them in their own home, and in their usual routine, is the best way I know to do this. I send updates to my clients several times throughout the course of the day, unless otherwise requested, sending pictures and letting you know how your pets are doing, while also leaving an open line of contact for any questions or concerns either party may have.

“Allison was great!!! She watched our golden retriever (Shockoe) at our house for 3 days. She sent lots of updates and handled Shockoe’s food and medicine needs like a pro. Will definitely have her back!”

Morgan S.

“Andrew was amazing! He took such great care of our three cats and our dog while we were away. He walked our dog twice a day and spent a lot of time playing with her and keeping her company. We also came home to a super clean house, exactly how we left it. We’d definitely use Andrew again and highly recommend him!”

Susie S.

“Suzzie was wonderful! She took excellent care of our dogs while we were at the beach for a week. Suzzie sent daily updates and let us know how both dogs were doing. She also let us know when one of our dogs started having allergies- I really appreciate this level of communication. I highly recommend booking with Suzzie!”

About: I have two dogs of my own one of which I trained to be my personal service dog. My second dog we originally were fostering and we adopted her because she fit into our family perfectly and became our other pups best friend. I actively foster puppies and kittens. I’ve done crate training and all the potty scaries with puppies. I’m extremely patient with them and try to meet each dog where they are at. I have experience giving medications to pets as one of my cats has to have daily oral medication. I love my pets and would treat yours as if they were my own 🖤 I have a very flexible schedule and I’m on the road and I have free time during the day and evenings where I am able to fit pet care-sitting into my schedule. I’m a very attentive pet parent myself and don’t typically leave my own dog unattended outside in the yard and I try to be very interactive and engage so they can play. I have 3 cats and enjoy playing with them and spending time with them so they feel cared for.

“This was the first time leaving Gracie for several days. Mel did such a great job keeping her anxiety level low. We felt keeping Gracie in her own home environment would be the best. Mel did such a wonderful job taking care of Gracie. We will definitely use Mel the next time! I would highly recommend her!”
