“Lucas (Jorges son) treated our dogs to tons of snuggles and plenty of walks, he had good communication and held to our rather strict rules. When we came home our house exactly as we had left it. Lucas was very conscientious. (With the oversight of his parents). Our dogs were happy. Do not hesitate to reach out to Jorge.”

About: Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals, and caring for them quickly became second nature to me. From a young age, I took on the responsibility of making sure my pets were happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Whether it was feeding, grooming, training, or simply spending quality time with them, I always put my heart into making sure they felt loved and safe. Grooming & Hygiene Keeping my pets clean and well-groomed has always been a top priority. I’ve had plenty of experience brushing fur to prevent tangles, bathing dogs with pet-safe shampoos, trimming nails, and making sure their ears and teeth stay clean. I know how important regular grooming is—not just for a pet’s appearance, but for their overall health and comfort. Cleaning & Maintaining a Healthy Environment A clean space means a happy and healthy pet, so I’ve always been diligent about keeping my pets’ living areas tidy. Whether it’s scooping litter boxes, cleaning up fur, washing food and water bowls, or making sure their bedding is fresh and comfortable, I make sure they have a safe and sanitary space to live in. Training & Teaching Fun Tricks One of my favorite things about working with animals is training them. I love using positive reinforcement to teach cool tricks, from basic commands like sit and stay to more advanced skills like opening doors. I enjoy the challenge of working with different personalities and figuring out the best way to engage them in learning. I’ve also successfully potty trained puppies, using patience, consistency, and positive rewards to help them develop good habits. Personalized Pet Care Every pet is different, and I’ve always made it a priority to understand their unique personalities and needs. Some animals are energetic and love to run and play, while others are more relaxed and enjoy cuddle time. I make sure to cater to each pet’s preferences, providing the right balance of exercise, attention, and affection to keep them happy and comfortable. Patience & A Positive Attitude Caring for animals takes patience, and that’s something I have in abundance. Whether I’m working with a shy pet who needs time to warm up, a playful puppy full of energy, or a senior pet who needs extra care, I approach every situation with kindness and understanding. My bubbly and happy personality helps pets feel at ease, and I love creating a positive, loving environment for them. A Lifelong Love for Animals Because I grew up with pets, taking care of them isn’t just something I do—it’s a part of who I am. My experience with grooming, cleaning, training, and overall pet care has given me the skills and knowledge to ensure that every animal I look after feels safe, loved, and well cared for. There’s nothing more rewarding to me than seeing a happy, healthy pet, and I take pride in providing the best care possible for every furry friend in my life. I currently just moved to Richmond, Va with my fiancé. I do not currently have a job but I am looking to school to be a veterinarian. I am currently free a lot of the times. Sure! Here’s a detailed first-person summary of how you would take care of your clients’ pets: ⸻ Taking care of my clients’ pets is more than just a job—it’s a passion. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. Daily Routine & Care Every pet has unique needs, and I tailor my care to each one accordingly. I begin by getting to know the pet’s personality, preferences, and any specific instructions from their owner. Feeding & Hydration I make sure pets are fed according to their specific dietary requirements, whether it’s dry kibble, wet food, or a raw diet. I pay close attention to portion sizes and feeding schedules to maintain their health and energy levels. Fresh water is always available, and I make sure to clean food and water bowls regularly to keep everything hygienic. Grooming & Hygiene Grooming is an essential part of a pet’s well-being. I brush their fur to keep it clean and free from tangles, especially for breeds that require frequent upkeep. If needed, I also provide baths using pet-safe shampoos, making sure to dry them thoroughly to avoid discomfort. Nail trimming, ear cleaning, and brushing their teeth are also part of my routine to ensure they stay healthy from head to tail. Bathroom Breaks & Cleaning For dogs, I take them out for regular bathroom breaks, following their usual schedule to prevent accidents and ensure their comfort. For cats, I scoop the litter box daily, replacing litter as needed to keep their space fresh and odor-free. Any pet messes, whether accidents or shedding, are promptly cleaned to maintain a clean and comfortable environment. Exercise & Playtime Physical activity is vital for a pet’s happiness and health. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a game of fetch, or interactive play with their favorite toys. I adjust activities based on the pet’s age and energy level, ensuring they get the right balance of movement and stimulation. Cuddling & Social Interaction Beyond basic care, I provide plenty of love and affection. If a pet enjoys snuggles, I’m more than happy to have cuddle sessions to make them feel secure and cherished. For pets who prefer space, I respect their boundaries while still giving them companionship in a way they’re comfortable with. Special Care & Medication If a pet has any special needs, I ensure they receive the proper attention. This includes administering medications, following specific health protocols, or providing extra care for senior pets. I carefully follow any instructions given by the owner to make sure their pet’s health is always a priority. Going the Extra Mile I believe in treating pets like family, which means going beyond the basics. I send regular updates to owners with pictures and details about their pet’s day. I make sure to monitor their behavior for any signs of distress or illness and notify the owner immediately if anything seems off. At the heart of my work is a genuine love for animals. Whether it’s keeping them active, maintaining their hygiene, or simply giving them the attention they need, I ensure every pet in my care feels happy, comfortable, and loved.

“Juliann was incredible! She consistently updated me on Murphy with photos and videos. She cleaned up messes that Murphy made in addition to keeping my house clean. She was not hesitant to ask any questions which gave me peace of mind that she wanted to give the best care she could to Murphy. She was accommodating to changes and responded fast. I am so appreciative Murphy received such good care while I was gone. Thank you Juliann!”

About: I have been taking care of the animals of close friends and family since I was 19 years old. In addition to taking care of cats and dogs, I am also an experienced farm hand. I have taken care of horses, chickens, donkeys, and Alpacas. Whatever your pet needs are, I can do it. I am currently doing volunteer work on Tuesdays, but am available every other day of the week. Early mornings and afternoons work best for me, but I am available later in the evening when needed I can do feedings, walks, drop ins, and full night stays. I can also administer oral medication. I have a dog of my own and she gets daily medication I give her myself.

“Liza was great! Super flexible and great communication. My dogs got into a scuffle (no fault of Liza’s whatsoever!) and she handled it great, communicated with me immediately and kept me up to date. My farm and dogs are not the easiest to handle and I was very happy with how Liza managed them all and was incredibly respectful of my home”

“I would give Deborah 10 stars if I could! From our initial meet & greet, I knew she would treat both our senior pup and our home with love and care. I loved the daily updates and pictures that were sent, along with any additional communication about our pup or home that needed clarification. Our home was left spotless and just the way it was when we left. Our pup was cared for with love. I couldn't be happier with Deborah's stay here and I will look forward to having her over again for our future travels.”

“Natalie took great care of our dog while we were away. I had some concerns leaving our dog with a stranger for the first time because he can be protective of his home. Natalie made the time to come meet our pup at a neutral spot and then headed to the home so he could get use to her in his environment. The meet and greet went well and our dog was excited to see her when she came to stay overnight. Natalie was very quick when returning my texts and calls. She took great care of our pup while we were away and we will use her again in the future.”
