Dog Sitting in Fort Lee

“Kristina was a great communicator throughout the booking process and the drop in visit for my pup. She was on time for the meet and greet and the drop in visit. I received a thorough update and lots of pictures which is so nice when you’re counting on someone else to care for you pet. I would recommend her to anyone and look forward to booking her again!!”

“Cynthia was a great pup-sitter, and kept me well informed with pictures and updates! Sebastian tends to be anxious and he looked like he didn’t miss a beat of belly rubs, cuddles, walks and attention. She communicated all needs and changes in behavior during my time away! She was a great sitter!”

Ashley W.

“Allyson is the best! I never worry about our dog when she is here!”

Dee K.

“Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!”

About: Hi my name is Joyce and I love working with animals as I have many animals of my own. I have a pup, a baby hamster, a turtle and 2 fish. I love animals and I treat them like they are my children. My skills are walking my pup (this includes a nice walk, and picking up their feces with a plastic bag), bathing them when needed, feeding them and playing with them. I make sure my fish and turtle are fed and their tanks are cleaned and up to date. I also make sure my hamster is fed and his cage is cleaned and up to date. All other animals are treated the same with lots of loyalty, much respect and lots of love. I’m currently working part-time on the weekends, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and show them all the attention they need! I Have two friendly pups that will keep your fur baby company! But if your dog don’t get along with other dogs I can keep them separated to make your fur baby is more comfortable. I’m currently working part-time. So I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pups and give them all the attention they need!! :) :) I have a nice size back yard and I also got a pup of my own that can keep your fur baby company! She’s very playful and If needed I can easily crate her.

About: Graduate Student at VCU with flexible summer hours ready to care for your animals. Hoping to get active this summer in various capacities to support your animals while you’re at work or on the go! I’ve been a lifelong pet owner with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I also have previous experience dog sitting and walking specifically dogs. I’ve trained my own cockapoo (who was definitely my soul dog), including basic commands and good behavior habits, and currently manage all care for a senior beagle/lab mix, including her vet visits, medications, and daily routines. I’m also experienced with cat care through shared custody of our cat, Judah with my roommate. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to offer consistent morning and afternoon availability for pet care. I prioritize reliability and clear communication, and I’m happy to work with families to find a routine that fits their needs. As I build long-term relationships, I’m open to expanding availability to best support both pets and their owners I tailor my approach based on each type of service I provide. During walks, I prioritize leash safety, awareness of surroundings, and your dog’s comfort with pace, weather, and other animals. For drop-in visits, I focus on maintaining your pet’s routine in a familiar environment—proper feeding, clean spaces, and attentive check-ins while respecting their home. For house sitting, I create a calm, consistent environment by following established routines, providing companionship, and keeping your home secure. Across all services, my priorities are clear communication, reliability, and building trust with both pets and their owners.

“This is our 1st experience using Rover as well as any professional dog sitting service. Let just say we're already locked in with Raye. She has great communication, as well as an amazing photographer.🤭 We recommend her for any services.”

“As always, Jeffrey knocked it out of the park. We always feel so comfortable and confident heading out of town knowing that our babies (and house) will be perfectly cared for. He really goes the extra mile for the pups and with general tasks around the house and we really appreciate it. Communication of all events, big or small, is quick and clear. I’ll recommend him forever to anyone!!”

About: I absolutely love caring for dogs from puppies to senior dogs! I have 16 years of hands-on experience, including rescuing two dogs from 6 months old and loving them all the way through their golden years. I’m highly skilled in potty training, teaching fun basic commands, and managing senior care like administering medications. Every single pup has their own unique personality, and I thrive on getting to know them and giving them the exact love and attention that fits their needs! I truly can’t wait to meet your sweet pup! As a teacher, my summer is completely wide open! I have full, 24/7 availability for both weekdays and weekends, and I am incredibly flexible and thrilled to travel for overnight house-sitting stays. Your pup’s safety and happiness are my absolute highest priorities. Whether I am staying overnight at your home or taking your dog out for a walk, I strictly follow all of your specific instructions regarding feeding, routines, and precise schedules. I am highly experienced across all ages—whether that means managing playful puppy energy and potty training, or administering medications and providing gentle senior care. I am always observant, keep pups securely on-leash, and love sending regular photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun and love they are getting at every stage of life! If you choose to board at my home I do have a large fenced in backyard with a covered deck. Your fur baby is allowed to snuggle with me anywhere in my home to get a comfy night’s sleep.

“Shannon did a great job checking in on my two cats while I was away. She sent pictures and messages daily which I really loved. Will definitely call her again when I go out of town:-).”

“Virginia was an amazing caregiver for my guy Pancho. She was communicative and caring throughout the process, and went the extra mile to ensure that he was cared for and that I had peace of mind. I would 100% lean on her again for care.”

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for about 5 years now. I’ve mainly taken care of small to medium sized dogs but I’m open to looking after larger dogs as well. I am very reliable and have a lot of energy to keep your dog entertained throughout the day. I love going for walks and and going to dog parks if allowed by the owner. I live in an apartment and it’s dog-friend and the apartment has a dog area where they can relieve themselves. I live in a studio apartment but there’s plenty of open space where your pup can lounge around. I’m very attentive of your dogs needs, so I stay on top of taking them out for walks and making sure their water bowl is kept full and following their feeding schedule. Also open to grooming and showering your dog, especially if they are staying overnight with me. If your pup is energetic and loves to play we will be a great match!!

About: I am a huge animal lover with lots of pet care experience! I grew up with pets and have had a few of my own in my adulthood. I adopted my current dog, Ruth, at approximately 8 years old. She is now about 13 years old! I am familiar with pet medication administration and senior pet care. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! I am a lawyer with my own business, so I do not work a traditional 9 to 5 and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide pet care during the week and on the weekends! I am responsible and detail-oriented. Since I have these traits, I will always pay strict attention to your instructions for your pet and be respectful of your home.

“Madison was very accommodating, we did a meet and greet prior to our scheduled date for visiting she communicates well and sends pics of her loving on our babies 🥰”

About: I offer personalized, one-on-one care tailored to your dog’s unique needs, personality, and routine. With a focus on reliability and attentiveness, I make your dog’s comfort and daily schedule a priority. I strive to be a calm, loving presence your dog can trust, helping them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. As a full-time teacher, my weekdays follow a consistent and predictable schedule. I am available for afternoon visits after school, evening care, as well as overnight stays when needed. On weekends, holidays, and school breaks, I have more flexibility and can provide extended care, additional visits, or longer stays. This structure allows me to offer reliable, attentive pet care while maintaining clear communication and consistency for your pet. I care for pets with a focus on comfort, routine, and individual needs, whether in my home or in my client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication, and I take time to learn their preferences and personality. In a client’s home, I respect their space while providing attentive, one-on-one care and keeping pets in a familiar environment. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm interactions, and I communicate regularly with updates so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Bianca was excellent! She took excellent care of our cat, Chewy, while we were away. She was diligent in refilling food/water, scooping litter, and just spending some time loving on our girl. She had great communication throughout the whole process and sent us lots of pics of our little one! Highly highly recommend Bianca and will be rebooking with her in the future!”

“Kayley was able to step on last minute to watch my Nova for the weekend. While I attend a family funeral. Nova had the best time on their play dates & walks. Her updates were throughout, efficient and loving as always!”

Katania C.

About: I’ve always been an animal person and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles, including my own ball python. I also have an Australian Shepherd who can be pretty anxious, so I’m used to being patient with nervous pets and helping them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve pet sat for both dogs and cats, including a cat with a more aggressive personality, so I understand the importance of respecting each animal’s boundaries and adapting to their individual needs. I love getting outside and taking walks, and I’m very familiar with the Richmond area. I also worked as a house cleaner for two years, so I’m comfortable being in clients’ homes and understand the importance of being respectful, trustworthy, and reliable. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe and happy while you’re away! I work about 20 hours a week as an esthetician and make my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. Because I set my own hours, I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I would love to fit pet care into my routine. I believe every pet is different, so I do my best to follow their normal routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping up with their feeding schedule and any specific instructions you provide. For cats staying in my home, I’ll provide a calm, safe environment where they can settle in at their own pace. Having lived with multiple cats of various personalities, I understand that some cats are social while others prefer their space, and I’m happy to accommodate both! I will stay in regular communication, providing updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing!

About: I don’t just walk your dog. I run with them. I play with them! I can’t get enough of them. I love all creatures great and small and treat each one as I would my own. I enjoy it! Please trust me with your pets, you won’t regret it! I currently dog walk and cat/house sit and I’m always looking for extra work. Obsessed with animals! I can’t wait to take care of your babies! I treat your animals like I would my own. All creatures great and small are my friends and I enjoy this kind of work more then anything. Trustworthy and reliable. Your pets will be happy with me! I offer above and beyond pet care 100% of the time.
