Pet Sitting Gravel Hill

“We love how much Virginia communicates with us about our complicated kitties. She brought in our mail/packages while we were away and kept our house tidy from cat-induced messes. Would definitely have her again!”

Rachael R.

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

Dante D.

“Holland was amazing! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly great with my dogs. I loved getting updates and photos after each visit—it gave me total peace of mind. My dogs were happy and well cared for, and I’ve already rebooked with her. Highly recommend!”

Lindsay W.

“Damacia is extremely kind, thorough and communicative. We had a last minute request and he over delivered! They followed instructions very well and provided lots of comforting updates.”

Soraya H.

“Meghan was great for drop-ins for our cats and guinea pigs while we were away for a week. Left photos, messages, the house was clean, everything you would expect. Would definitely recommend!”

David C.

“Teresa was excellent with my large, often anxious, cat Sherlock. Upon my return I found a happy Sherlock with none of the usual stress symptoms. Teresa also communicated frequently and sent photos of all the snuggles and other antics Sherlock got up to each day. It was great to see my cat happy while I was away!”

Rachel M.

“Sidney is great with our puppy and was very accommodating to do a drop-in on short notice. Would recommend her to anyone looking for drop-ins and dog walks!”

Kyle D.

“I highly recommend Kay as an excellent cat-sitter! My grumpy cat was obviously comfortable with Kay from the start. I really appreciated receiving pictures and short commentary on their time together while I was away! Also, Kay approached all aspects of booking and logistics professionally and with good cheer.”

Daniel P.

“Erin was such a reliable and attentive cat sitter! I was relieved to see her details and specifics of the boys behavior with drop in visit notes. It helped me know my boys were in great hands. Thank you again Erin!!!!”

Rebekah C.

“Emili took great care of my two kitties- And when she noticed a potential problem one of them might have, she notified me right away - and all turned out just fine.”

Ric C.

“Always on time with clear communication and excellent service! As long as Cynthia is available we will be hiring her whenever we are out of town.”

Daniel M.

“Kylie was so wonderful with my sweet senior kitty Marcie! Knowing Marcie was well cared for and getting lots of playtime and attention made it easier to enjoy my time away from home.”

Hilary R.

“This was our first time having Jeffrey do drop ins for our three wild kids and he was AMAZING! Great communication, super professional, loved on our doggos just like we would!”

Ryan C.

“Kyra did an amazing job taking care of my three cats while I was out of town. She even got my cranky old man cat to play a little bit with her which isn’t something just anyone manages! All three of my kitlets are quite the characters, and Kyra somehow captured their personalities in the photo updates she sent. I’ll definitely be hiring her again when I have to be away from home.”

Jennifer Y.

“Maggie took such great care of my kittens while I was away! The transparent communication--pictures, updates, videos, etc. was FABULOUS! They were in great hands with her! AND I would very much recommend to anyone in the area looking for the same level of care!”

About: I am a pediatric physical therapist looking to dogsit on weekends or walk dogs. Walking or running with your dog(s) will allow me to stay active, and I am sure your pup will thank you for it! I get off on Fridays at 11:30AM and am free until Sunday nights at 10:00PM. My experience is fairly eclectic. I have fostered dogs for Houlagan's Rest and BARKVa for the 4 years, and currently have 2 adopted dogs of my ow (both foster fails!): a sweet American Bulldog mix named Big Mama, and a Black and Tan Coonhound Mix named Dusty. Fostering has allowed me to work with breeds, ages, and learning abilities of all kinds. I have leash trained, potty trained, and been a medical foster for those who have just been spayed/neutered as well as other medical complications. I am very comfortable with dogs that have barrier/food/dog aggression, as well as anxiety. In addition to my fostering/owning my own pups, I raised both of my childhood dogs (cockapoos) from 8 weeks onward for my mother during my summer breaks. I have also babysat dogs for my friends and family throughout undergraduate school and grad school. I believe that your pup should feel comfortable, safe, and happy throughout their stay with me, so I request that we do a meet and greet before confirming to make sure that I can sufficiently meet you and your dog's needs 😊 I will also be able to stay in your home full-time as my husband will take care of my pups while I am away, so no need to worry about splitting time!!! I am available to dogsit from Fridays after 11:30 AM until Sundays at 10:00PM, and can dog walk on weekends! I typically am home near full-time with your pup, and do not like to leave more than 2-3 hour intervals max most often. When at your home, I am always certain to implement whatever rules you may have. I am experienced with crate training, and am also happy to take the pup on adventures (I often like to go to the farmers market and on long walks around the Richmond Trails.) I am also happy to lounge on the couch and snuggle if that's what they prefer!

“Great care and communication. Really saved me with last minute check-ins on my older, needy cat. Definitely recommended!”

Carlos M.

“McKenzie was right on time. She was very sweet with our dogs. She spent tons of time with them playing and cuddling. She provided constant updates. I will use her again !! You should too !”

Kim E.

“We love Dominique! She is so great with our pup daisy and always leaves detailed rover cards. She is very communicative and goes above and beyond.”

Courtney V.

“Beth clearly connected with Lula! She sent sweet photos that helped reassure me that my kittycat was in good hands and getting loving attention and plenty of skritch-scratches.”
