“Alexis did a very good job taking care of our cats. She answered all my questions. Mike and Saga were in good spirits when we came home and are relaxing on the porch.”
“Kim was so great! Visits were consistent every day (which I know my cats appreciated), and many of the daily pictures she sent are so good I could frame them! I really enjoyed working with Kim and look forward to calling on her again the next time we’re out of town.”
“I have two small kittens that I had to leave for a week. They stayed with Riley all week and looked very content and happy in the pictures I received. Riley’s veterinary experience was also a huge peace of mind. Would recommend to anyone!”
About: Hello! My name is Kate and I want to meet your pet! I have a seven year old Australian Shepherd who might be the love of my life (don't tell my husband!) I have grown up around dogs but have also taken care of cats and guinea pigs. In all seriousness, I live in the Goochland/Short Pump area and offer pet walking during the day. I'm a super active person who works from home and has the time to commit to make sure your pet is well taken care of! My first dog (a Westie) lived to be almost 17 and by the end of his life, needed a variety of medicines throughout the day and so that is another service that I can offer. I hope to meet you and your furry friend soon! I work from home starting late morning and also typically go to the park everyday after work (depending on the weather). I am available before work, during lunch, and after work. I make sure that your pet has plenty of water and play time before I leave the visit! I always make sure your pet is comfortable and we can play as much as they want!
“Excellent caretaking of our cats. Kelly went the extra mile to also feed our wild birds, which I know THEY appreciated! She made sure that the trash got taken out so that our house didn't smell of old catfood cans, which was so thoughtful. We will use her again!!!”

“Alexandra took such good care of my brand new puppy and was such a good sport. Can’t express how thankful I am for how much help she was. My pup loved her and it was awesome to find someone I could trust entirely!”
About: Hey guys! I’m Haley, I’m 22 years old. I currently work at a vet hospital part time on Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday times ranging from 7am-3pm, I often don’t get scheduled all days as well as all of the mentioned time every week so please still reach out! I also offer training services just an upcoming newer trainer as I’m a dog trainer with a career diploma in the field. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out! I’m hoping to be able to take care of others pets near me while earning money on the side. Services I can provide would include feeding them, administration of medications (if needed), training (if owner would like), bathing, nail trims, ear cleanings, brushing (cost extra depending on service, brushing is free unless matted) take them outside to play and potty, any other services owner may need. I currently work part time at a veterinary clinic as stated in the pet care experience box, I’m pretty flexible and will try my best to work with you! I have a backyard, and 5 acres of land. Along with ample room for them to run. We can chill and watch a movie together, or go outside and play with the hose and run around.
About: Hey, my name is Erin! I’ve had my own animals my entire life, but I also have 4 years of dog training professionally. I worked for the company Dogtopia (a great dog daycare/boarding facility) as a canine coach and assistant manager. I worked hands on in the room with the dogs during open play, and one on one in grooming and training sessions. Unfortunately, my husband travels for work so a traditional 9-5 doesn’t always work for me, hence finding my own lane with Rover! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend. :) I work from home remotely part time as a paralegal, and outside of that I am a stay at home wife. Pet care fits seamlessly into my life and I am open to working with clients to help accommodate special time needs. I cannot accommodate watching your pup at my own home because I have my own rescue who does not want to share the space. Thank you for understanding!
“We have used Trinity three times now and I highly recommend her. She fed our dog by hand when she wouldn't eat, took extra care to make sure my son's cat ate and even watered my front porch flowers! She does a great job!”

Erin W.
“I am writing to highly recommend Erin Williams as an exceptional caregiver for pets. She has been looking after my beloved dogs Piglet and Balor for 7 years now and I couldn't be more pleased with the level of care and attention she provided. Erin consistently went above and beyond in ensuring the well-being and happiness of my dogs. She demonstrated a deep understanding of their needs and preferences, including dietary requirements, exercise routines, and medication schedules. I always felt reassured knowing that my dogs were in her capable hands. In addition to her excellent caregiving skills, Ms. Williams exhibited utmost professionalism and reliability. She communicated promptly and effectively, keeping me updated with photos and messages, which alleviated any concerns I had while away. Moreover, Erin Williams showed genuine affection and compassion towards my dogs, treating them as if they were her own. Their bond was evident in the excitement my dogs displayed upon her arrival, and I could see they were genuinely happy and well-cared-for in her presence. I wholeheartedly endorse Erin Williams for any pet care responsibilities. She possess the qualities of an outstanding caregiver: responsible, compassionate, and dedicated. If you're seeking someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry companions, she are is the perfect choice.”
