Cat Sitting in Gilman

“We had a walkaround the house with Rochelle. Rochelle was attentive and took lots of pictures. You can tell that she takes the care of our pups and the house very seriously. After learning the house, Rochelle observed the correct food portions and fed the pups. She is so loving to the pups.”

“Mary is a class act and I highly recommend her! I knew she was special the moment I met her and our sheltie, Cobalt, instantly fell in love with her. She is sweet and very professional. She was quick to respond to my initial request and kept me informed before, during and after the service. I will be using her services on a regular basis. I give her a rating of 5+ stars!!”

“Elena is fantastic! We have two rescue doodles and one of them is scared to death of strangers. She was patient and kind to our pups, and Annie and Cooper took to her right away! We just love her and will definitely use her as a regular sitter!”

About: I’ve had animals growing up ever since I was little. I’ve grown up with 4 dogs in the household and currently have my own. I absolutely adore all animals and would love to take care of your beloved animal I work and go to school daily but during the summer, I can definitely be more free. I always take breaks to walk the dogs around the neighborhood. I always be adequate to feed them and give them water throughout the day at their assigned eating times! If the dog is crate, trained to sleep in the crate at night, they’re welcome to sleep in the crate or if the owner wants, they can sleep in the bed with me. I do not mind.

“Sierra was great with our older kitten, who was exhibiting signs of anxiety (not eating or using his litter box correctly). She immediately contacted with me, made adjustments and went above and beyond to help clean up and make sure he was comfortable and attended to. He calmed down and we were able to enjoy our extended trip.”

“Alexandra was great! Clear communication and thorough care. Glad we found her, looking forward to having her check in on our fur babies in the future.”

About: I've owned dogs, cats & horses my entire life. I currently have 2 rescue dogs, 2 cats and a horse that are all treated like human children. I'm familiar with both young and elderly animals that require medical assistance. I work from home in Glen Allen. I have a flexible schedule and can check on your pet during the day and before/after work. I am comfortable with walking all dogs, crating dogs, working on commands and especially providing love and treats if desired! Happy to also prepare lick mats or other stimulation while you're away.

“So appreciate her patience with our older dog! Randi is exceptionally seasoned at caring for our grumpy pup. Highly recommend her skilled care.”

About: Hi! I'm Reis, a dependable and active animal lover with both professional and personal pet care experience. I previously worked at a dog boarding facility where I supervised doggie daycare, monitored group play, and helped ensure dogs stayed safe, happy, and well cared for throughout the day. This experience taught me how to work with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided overnight house-sitting and pet-sitting services, caring for pets in their own homes and maintaining their regular routines while their owners were away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and secure, and I strive to provide attentive, loving care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. As someone with an active lifestyle, I enjoy spending time outdoors and can provide plenty of exercise, walks, playtime, and companionship. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a weekend sitter, or just some extra attention during the day, I'll treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own. I currently work a part-time job that allows me to have a lot of flexibility. I am able to work in all of Richmond and surrounding areas as well. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Through my experience working at a dog daycare facility, overnight house-sitting, and caring for both a senior dog and a young dog of my own, I've learned that every pet has different needs and energy levels. Whether your pet prefers a relaxed walk and extra patience or lots of activity and play, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and feel safe, happy, and loved.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs multiple times for an about 4 years. I’m very understanding and don’t ever get mad or stressed with animals even if they don’t listen and I always have a good time spending time with animals. I have a part time job so my routine is pretty flexible. If you need a last minute sitter for a night or for a few hours let me know! I have a cat who is very sweet, his name is Berlin and he gets along and is very playful with animals even hamsters lol

“More excellent service from Amanda! She is our go-to person to care for our two cats when we’re out of town. She is very punctual and thorough, taking time to play with our cats in addition to the usual daily tasks of caring for them. She’s great about sharing photos and videos of our cats with us, too!”

About: Every dog, cat, and critter gets my full attention, patience, and genuinely endless affection. Your pet will be in hands that actually care, not just someone checking a box. I pay keen attention to their needs, wait patiently for pets to trust me, and show up exactly when I say I will. I'm a law student heading into my second year of school and I have flexibility this summer for regular visits or last-minute help. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and new clients and I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I pay close attention to each animal's cues, take the time to build genuine trust, and am someone you can count on — on time, every time. While I don't have pets of my own right now, I'm surrounded by them constantly and there is honestly nowhere I'd rather be. My schedule is flexible. If it works for you, it works for me. Above all else, I believe communication and timeliness are everything. You'll always hear from me promptly, whether it is confirming a booking, giving an update mid-visit, or letting you know about anything unexpected. No guessing, no chasing me down, just reliable, responsive care you can count on. When I'm in your home, your pet's comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely including feeding schedules, walking routes, any quirks or preferences because familiarity and consistency are what keep animals calm and happy in their parents absence. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want shown in my own, and I'm always in close communication so you're never left wondering how things are going. Further, I know that inviting someone new into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal, please be assured I'm direct, honest, and an open book.

About: Hi! I'm Christynn, and I'm 19! I’ve worked with animals for years, starting at a boarding facility when I was 16, where I learned daily care, handling, and health monitoring. I also completed a two‑year animal science program in high school that earned me my Veterinary Assistant Certification. Now I’m studying Animal Science at Virginia Tech, continuing to build both hands‑on and academic experience with animal care and welfare. Now that I’m home for the summer, I have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and the only day with limited hours is Sunday, I’m free after 1pm. I’m excited to spend my summer giving your pets lots of attention, walks, and love. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet I care for. In your home, I follow your routines closely, feeding schedules, walk times, crate use, and any house rules you already have in place. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision so they feel secure while you’re away. I also keep an eye on behavior, eating, and overall well‑being, and I’ll always update you so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel relaxed and cared for, and to give you total peace of mind while you’re gone.

“Ver friendly and followed all care steps. Will be requesting again!”

“Noah was absolutely awesome with my puppy Bandit, he was communicative and sent me pictures of my fur baby throughout each visit, which I really appreciate! He was super professional and very kind! Would definitely recommend if you want to be sure your pet is in good hands!”

Alexis M.

“We had such a great experience with Mark! He was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring with our pets. From the start, they made us feel at ease with thoughtful updates, photos, and check-ins, which really helped while we were away. Our pets were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for when we returned — always a great sign. You can tell Mark truly loves animals and takes the responsibility seriously. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive Rover sitter.”

About: I have grown up surrounded by animals and have extensive experience caring for pets belonging to neighbors, friends, and family. My experience includes working with puppies under 8 weeks old, service dogs, dams, foster dogs, senior pets, and animals of all ages and needs. I’m an active, responsible individual who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals of all kinds. I’m currently home from college for winter break and have a very flexible schedule, which leaves me with plenty of availability to care for pets. At home, I have four dogs who are trained to stay within the yard without a fence. I also have experience caring for clients’ pets with a wide range of training levels, including crate-trained, leash-trained, and those with limited or no formal training. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always respect the owner's specific training preferences and home environment.

“Steven replied promptly and was extremely reliable! Our pup had a great visit with him and we had peace of mind during a long day away from home.”
