“Hannah helped my little family out tremendously when she agreed to help with our diabetic cat, Jasper, last minute. She was quick to respond and detailed in her communication with us. Although our cat was difficult and afraid, she was still able to administer his insulin injection and make sure he ate food with it. This was thanks to her training and experience with scared animals.”
“Jocelyn was wonderful with my cat Jocelyn was wonderful with my cat, Cayde, after surgery. She was patient, dependable, and handled giving meds with so much care. It gave me huge peace of mind knowing Cayde was safe and loved while I couldn’t be there. I’m so grateful for her help and highly recommend her!”
About: I have been a cat parent for my whole life in which I have administered medication to them including eye drops, ear drops, liquid & pill oral medication. I have also grown up around dogs as well given that most of my boyfriend and friends are dog parents. I have walked their dogs before and taken care of their cats as well. I can clean litter boxes, food bowls, vomit, etc. I currently am a student at James Madison University, so message me for specific availability during the week. Additionally, I do not have class on Friday, and am mostly available during the morning and mid afternoon. I am willing to come multiple times a day and multiple days a week unless I have a prior engagement. I have an orange tabby cat that is strictly indoors to optimize his safety against potentially harmful animals, insects, and people. I care for my cat and those I have taken care of by respecting the boundaries that their owners have set regarding indoors or outside pets. I clean their food and water bowls every day before I give them food. Also, I will play with them frequently unless they do not want to engage. I believe adhering to the pet's needs as well as their owners is deeply important.

“Logan is always great with all 3 of our boys, and is always sure that all 3 of them get the attention they need while we're away. Even our youngest who is terrified of everyone and everything has warmed up to her! 10/10 would recommend booking her!”

About: As a true animal lover who misses her pets while away at school, I’m excited to offer hands-on care for a wide range of animal companions. I’ve raised cats, dogs, rabbits, and chickens, and I also work closely with the animal lab at the Science Museum of Virginia in my hometown of Richmond.

“Abigail was super great with our two dogs! They are both high energy and can be a lot at times. She was very patient and took excellent care of them, going above and beyond to make sure they had what they needed while we were away.”
About: While my last 10 years of employment have been in the schools and therapy centers, I have been caring for animals since I was about 10 years old. I grew up volunteering at dog training facilities and learning “tricks of the trade”. As a former cat owner and current dog owner, I am a firm believer that pets are a vital family member and deserve all the love and care that humans do (sometimes more). I have currently taken time off from being a full time school administrator to focus on my family. While my children are in school and activities, I am looking to spend time with animals and help others keep their pets well-taken care of while they may be away or working. I treat each pet as if they were my own, and perhaps even better than because I know the peace of mind it brings knowing they are cared for and loved. It is important to me that their emotional and physical needs are met, however best suits them and their owners.
About: What sets me apart is my extensive experience with a wide range of breeds. I’ve cared for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention, as well as helped train puppies to build good habits. I’ve also worked with animals who have a history of trauma or don’t get along with others, helping them feel safe and comfortable. Beyond basic care, I genuinely love being active, so your dog won’t just get a quick walk—they’ll get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and engagement. Whether it’s a playful pup who needs training, a senior dog who needs gentle care, or a pet who needs help adjusting, I’m dedicated to making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’m working as an intern where I choose my hours so I’m extremely flexible with my schedule to incorporate what is needed! I am eager to spend any time needed. I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs, making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own home. Whether it’s sticking to their regular feeding and exercise schedule, providing extra patience for seniors, reinforcing training for puppies, or helping anxious pets feel at ease, I adapt to what works best for them. I also make sure they get plenty of engagement—whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just companionship—so they’re not just cared for, but truly looked after while you’re away.

Adrian M.
“I have a 4 year old poochon who is a bit shy with strangers and the way he gravitated towards Adriane had me so surprised!! He allowed her to give him a belly rub which I’ve only seen him do to the immediate household members that live in the house. Adriane definitely has a warm and friendly spirit to her that my little guy Cody drew towards. Adriane made sure his feedings were on time. She not only walked him but also took him to the dog park in our neighborhood and sent pictures to update me throughout the day. Cody’s fur is very high-maintenance and needs to be brushed everyday. Adriane took care of that for me and gave me one less thing to worry about when I got home. I highly recommend her services and I look forward to having her watch Cody again!”

“We LOVE Ashleigh! Deuce can’t hold himself still when he sees Ashleigh come over. She’s reliable, responsible and goes above and beyond to ensure my Deuce is not just taken care of but loved on too. She treats each dog as if it were her own. After spending all her life growing up with a dog and a cat here and there, she has become a very special and kind person who cares deeply about the care of animals of all kinds. Trustworthy should be her middle name. You can always count on her to go beyond what is expected. Highly recommend.”
