Pet Sitting Gilpin

“I highly recommend, Lila! She’s easy to communicate with and brings such a chill and sweet energy to our cats when we’re away. You can tell she cares and is committed to doing a good job. We will always see if Lila’s available when we travel!”

“I’m so glad I chose to book with Devinder! I’ve been blown away by his responsiveness, flexibility, communication, and clear love for pets :) He’s very professional, but also comes across like a friend who’s always down to help you out and care for your pets like they’re his own. I trust him with my pets for the long haul!”

“Having Robin as my pet sitter when I was out of town gave me so much peace of mind. She made sure my two cats were fed, had clean water and litter boxes, and had play time and snuggles! My cat Leo got a UTI right before my trip and had to be on medication. It was such a relief to know that I had already set up for Robin to be there each day so she could give him his pill. She provided me with detailed notes on how the cats were doing and pictures every day. I felt like she cared for my pets as if they were her own and I am so grateful. I would definitely trust Robin with my pets in the future!”

“Thane was again amazing and very considerate visiting daily with our cat while we were on vacation. Very communicative and highly recommend to anyone in need of a pet sitter. Thanks again!”

Adam W.

“Danyelle is fantastic! She was patient and loving with my two cats and they warmed up to her quickly. She won over my male cat, Toast, within minutes and sent me pics of him on her lap. Even my super shy girl, Sunny, who usually hides under the bed, came out to see Danyelle and accepted some pets. I am so happy to have found such an amazing sitter!”

Beth C.

“Emily was so great caring for my cat Ollie! She sent lots of pics each day and was very communicative throughout. I knew my Ollie was in good hands! Will definitely try to book with Emily in the future. Thanks Emily!!”

Sarah K.

“Maria and Luis are fantastic pet sitters. Even our very shy cat warmed up to them. We came home to happy cats who got care, play and love while we were away. We will certainly book with them again. Thank you Maria & Luis!”

About: I have two pets, one cat and one dog. I have lots of experience with walking dogs, trained and untrained. My dog Bleu has severe anxiety with cars and I have managed to help him overcome this fear and have accommodated to his needs. My cat Ghost is still a kitten and loves being cuddled. I love pets and have had ferrets, ginuea pigs, birds, and fish growing up. I love walking, so if you are interested in booking, I can walk your dog up to 3 miles per day. I am currently working during the day so I have free time during early mornings and afternoons to either take your pet on walks, to the dog park, or just play in the backyard. My dog is crate trained and your animal will not be bothered by him as he is a gentle and sweet dog. I also have multiple rooms where animals can be separated.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs for most of my life and already occasionally pet sit for friends and family. I used to work as a caretaker at a doggy daycare, and decided to continue pet care alongside my new job as it became such a fulfilling part of my life. I'm experienced with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and I'm experienced with a variety of other animals such as cats, fish, lizards, turtles, birds, and hermit crabs. My current work schedule follows the standard Mon-Fri 7-3:30, with most of my weekends and evenings open. Because of this, I'd be most suited for pets that are used to this schedule already. Otherwise, I try my best to stick to their current schedule for things like feeding and walks. I always feel comfortable meeting the parent(s) and pet before the booking. I can take care of all basic tasks and am very adaptable, patient, and reliable. I do my best to learn about each pet's little mannerisms and quirks so I can accommodate them the best I can while keeping them and your home safe. I want to make sure both you and your pet end up happy! I always ask that I'm given the pet's vet and an emergency contact as well, just in case.

“Kayley is wonderful. She is great with our senior pit bull and his various medications. She is communicative, friendly, and I would highly recommend her. We will definitely be scheduling with her again!”

Colleen R.

“I had to cancel my trip and Kade was very flexible with my early return and sent lots of sweet pics of my kitty while I was away which made me feel better about this service! Would recommend!”

Ivan C.

“Kelsey was great taking care of our cat for a couple days when we had to go out of town last minute, definitely will use her again. Thanks Kelsey!”

Gloria T.

“Bridgette took Zuko on a walk and gave detailed feedback about him — and sent several sweet pictures! I would not hesitate to use her again. Thanks so much Bridgette!”

About: I have three dogs and two cats back home, all of whom typically fall under my care. I have experience dog, cat, and housesitting in both my hometown (Harrisonburg) and here in Richmond. I also volunteer at the Richmond SPCA for general socialization and cleanliness. I love animals dearly, but my roommates don’t want any pets in the apartment, so any help I can provide will also help me ;-) I’m a student at VCU with a solid course load, but a lot of free time in evenings, and on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. I have a car and time between classes to let your animals out, take them on walks, or just check up on them. I rely heavily on your personal pet care instructions. I believe you care deeply for your animals and you know them best. I will keep areas clean and locked up, so you’ll barely know I was there!

About: I've been taking care of family pets since I was about 12, I've dealt with diapers, regular medicine intakes, and even potty training! I also have 2 doggies of my own a Lab/Australian Sheppard and a Rottweiler I am a part time Student at Virginia Commonwealth University studying Nuclear Medicine. I am mostly doing prerequisites so I will have plenty of time to hang with the doggos! My rottie, Gemma, was the first dog I ever had leash trouble with. It was getting too much for me to handle so I took her to a dog trainer. During those sessions I learned a lot about proper leash etiquette as a walker!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 14 years old. My neighbors have trusted me to watch their pets for extended periods of time. I love all animals! I work from home until the summer so my schedule is very flexible! I can walk your dog most of the day during the week. I provide loving, attentive, and responsible care for pets in my home and/or my client's home. I make sure each pet has fresh food and water, a clean and comfortable environment, regular exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, routines, and special needs. I also provide companionship, monitor their health and behavior, and keep owners updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

“We had a wonderful experience with Eryn while away on vacation! She was exceptionally attentive, keeping us updated and giving us total peace of mind the entire time we were away. Our roommate mentioned how respectful and completely unobtrusive she was while in our shared home. Most importantly, our pets loved her; they've actually become noticeably more social and outgoing since her visits. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and will definitely be booking her again!”

About: Hello! I have been a caregiver for pets, canine and feline alike for upwards to 8 years. A frequent flyer with neighbors and family where my services have been advertised. I love animals, they are kind creatures at heart, I believe. And with this comes the compassion that they deserve and that I hope to provide for you and their pets. I am familiar with health checks for senior animals, bathing of dogs sizes small to medium, dog walking (and even cat walking if your feline enjoys), routined feeding, playtime, and much more. I also have a bit of positive reinforcement training experience of you would like me to keep up some habits you’re trying to form with your dog. My work is usually quite flexible and I can leave to come check in on any and all pets I am caring for if needed. Besides work, I am a homebody for the most part. I do enjoy going out into nature so if your pup likes hikes, I would be happy to provide that environment for them! I am able to adapt to other’s routines, this includes pets and their needs. If pup has to go out at 6:00 AM, we’re up and ready to go. I am unable to provide boarding or any services from my home, but in other’s homes I will do gate and fencing checks, safe door opening to the best of my ability, securing property upon leaving and arriving, and whatever other concerns can come to mind I am willing to work with others.

“Kathryn was super kind, communicative, and pleasant. Highly recommend.”
