Pet Sitting Hallsboro

“Alicia was great! She always sent updates and photos of our golden Margot, and played with her outside when it was nice out. She always looked so happy in the update photos, and we were so appreciative of Alicia’s care and attention of her while we were away! Highly recommend Alicia :)”

“Cheri was great with our four kitties while we were away! I specifically mentioned one of our cats being prone to accidents outside the box and she very kindly noted in her daily updates whether or not there was a mess to clean up which I really appreciated, and provided pictures of the kitties with each visit :)”

“Tiffany went above and beyond with her visits, was an excellent communicator, and we came home to find our cat in such good spirits. She is so genuine in her love for animals and I can truly feel how well cared for he was.”

About: I've had many cats throughout my life, and I love them dearly. I am quite knowledgeable about felines. My current cat, Marble, has been with me since he was about 5 weeks old, and he's now 6 years old. I also adore dogs and have taken care of many medium- and small-sized ones. My first job was dog walking when I was 14. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine as a full-time writer and filmmaker. My flexible schedule and frequent downtime make it easy to care for my pets. I give dogs and cats all the love and attention they need. I provide playtime, feedings, walks, baths, and medications. Having had mischievous cats myself, I am very attentive to every animal in my care.

“Grace did a great job with my cats, including giving one meds. She spent good time with them, communicated well during my trip and when one cat ran off she easily added another visit to check on her. Very pleased.”

About: I’ve been watching neighborhood and family pets since I was 13, both cats and dogs, elderly and young. I know when to give attention or whether to give them space. Hey! You can also call me Jaxon (he/him.) I’m auditioning for local theatres in Richmond, so my schedule is rather flexible. Weekends and weekdays are currently open, with room for rehearsals and show dates. I’d cater to whatever the pet needs. Some animals like to explore, so I’d supervise as they do so. Others are more reclusive, so I’d keep watch from a respectful distance.

About: Hi! I'm a passionate pet sitter with professional experience working in both a boarding kennel and a veterinary clinic. During my time at the kennel, I cared for pets of all ages—from young puppies and kittens to senior pets—and worked with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I also have experience caring for pets with medical conditions and special needs, including administering medications and providing attentive, individualized care. Working in a veterinary clinic has further strengthened my knowledge of animal health and behavior, allowing me to recognize when a pet may need extra attention and provide confident, compassionate care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll treat them like one of my own. My goal is to keep your pets happy, safe, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind with regular updates and photos throughout my visits. 🐾 I currently work full time at the veterinary clinic but I can pop in multiple times a day to check on your furry friend(s) or I can also stay the night at your house 😊 When caring for your furry friends in their home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine as much as possible. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship and attention based on each pet’s personality and needs. I also have experience working in both a veterinary clinic and a boarding kennel, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, including those with medical conditions or special care instructions. I understand that pets feel most secure in their own environment, so I take the time to make them feel calm and cared for while you’re away. I can administer medications if needed and will closely follow any instructions you provide to ensure their health and well-being. During each visit, I’ll also check that everything is safe and in order in your home, and I’ll provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pets are doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in caring, capable hands. 🐾

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 3 years, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making sure they’re well taken care of. I’ve watched dogs with different needs, including giving medication when needed and caring for multiple dogs in one day. I’m very reliable, patient, and attentive, and I treat every dog with the same love and care I’d want for my own. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby with someone, and I want you to feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands! 🐾❤️ I work full-time as a supervisor, but I have a good work-life balance that allows me to make time for pet sitting. I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets while working. I’m also off on weekends, so I have more availability to spend time with your fur babies! I love being able to give pets attention, companionship, and care while making sure they feel safe and comfortaable. My apartment neighborhood has a couple of dog parks, and there are also plenty of nearby trails where I can take dogs for walks and let them enjoy some fresh air. When I’m caring for a dog, I typically take them outside 3–4 times a day for potty breaks, walks, and exercise. I love making sure they get the attention, activity, and care they need. When staying in your home to care for your pets, I’ll also make sure your home is well cared for while you’re away. I’m respectful of your space, mindful of your pet’s routine, and will make sure everything is kept clean.

About: I currently work in animal welfare and strive to provide all pets with stress-free care, with a focus on positive reinforcement. I regularly administer medications orally and subcutaneously. In addition to working with animals in a shelter environment, I have extensive experience providing in home pet care. Starting in November, I will he available for drop-in visit and walks full time. Unfortunately, I am not accepting bookings prior to that. I look forward to turning my full attention to private pet care at that time. I meet new animals everyday and am used to furry friends who are scared of change and new people. You can trust that your baby will get competent, patient care that moves at their speed.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from young puppies to large breeds, and I’m confident handling a wide range of needs and personalities. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to make sure every pet stays healthy and safe. I also have experience with basic puppy training, helping reinforce good habits and routines. What sets me apart is my patience and understanding, especially with dogs who have separation anxiety or need extra reassurance. I take the time to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own, paying close attention to their behavior, energy level, and individual needs so they get the best care possible. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make it a priority to give each pet the time, attention, and consistency they need. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate morning, midday, evening, and even last-minute bookings when needed. Whether it's walks, drop-ins, or extended stays, I'm able to adjust my routine to match your pet's schedule and keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for them. I'm reliable, responsive, and committed to being there when you and vour pet need me. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have a spacious three-floor condo that gives dogs plenty of room to move around and feel comfortable. I also have a friendly six-year-old dog who gets along well with other animals, helping visiting pets feel more at ease. My two daughters are gentle and respectful with animals, adding to the loving environment your pet will be in. I live in a great area for walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things consistent and stress-free by maintaining their normal routine and environment. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is the hands-on experience I have caring for dogs with all different personalities, ages, and needs. In addition to having three dogs and two cats of my own, I have fostered dogs through Bullies to the Rescue and volunteer with Richmond Animal Care and Control, where I serve as a Volunteer Adoption Coordinator Assistant and a trained Three Paw dog walker. I am comfortable working with dogs who may have behavioral challenges and have experience with senior and sick dogs who need extra patience, attention, and care. I truly take the time to get to know each pet as an individual and adjust my care to what makes them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I don't just see pet sitting as a job—I genuinely love animals and treat every pet in my care like they are my own. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM in East End Henrico, so pet care fits naturally into my routine before and after work. I am available for brief morning visits before work and have much more flexibility after 3:30 PM for longer walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I have open availability on weekends and can be flexible with scheduling. For house sitting, I am also willing to travel outside my normal service area when staying in your home. I take scheduling seriously and will make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I care for every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. In a client's home, I follow their normal schedule as closely as possible so their pets feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, companionship, and love, while also respecting pets who need a little space. I am comfortable caring for senior, sick, special-needs, and behaviorally challenging dogs, as well as cats and kittens. I will follow feeding instructions, medication or special-care directions, and any other routines you provide. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel safe, happy, and cared for—and I want you to have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a seven-month-old Golden Retriever puppy named Archie, so I’m very familiar with puppy routines, training, potty breaks, and high-energy playtime. I also raised two of my mom's Pomeranians, Flynn and Pepper, from puppyhood and lived with and cared for them daily for years. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with both small and large breeds, as well as the patience, consistency, and attention that dogs need to feel safe and comfortable. Caring for animals fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely love spending time with pets and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved! I’m currently working toward my teaching license this summer, which gives me a flexible schedule and lots of availability for walks, drop-ins, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets company throughout the day. I can handle nearly any issue that concerns dogs, whether that be giving medicine to your pup or cleaning up vomit, I can do it all! I also have no issue training new puppies for certain tasks, so feel free to ask me.

About: Hello! My name is Christian and I have been a dog lover since the age of 8 when we got a black lab named Charlie. He was a 100+ lb teddy bear who would go on runs, play basketball, and nap whenever he got the chance. Then, my fiancé (at the time) and I got a miniature long haired dachshund who is now seven months old. A year later, we adopted another miniature long haired dachshund from the same family (half-brother). As you can see, I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. Growing up, I strongly considered being a vet as being around animals makes me happiest. If you choose me to take care of your dog, you can be sure they will be loved, pampered, and given high quality care. Contact me today! I am currently off for the summer as a doctoral student and work remotely part-time during the school year. So, my schedule is pretty flexible and I am confident that we can work out an agreeable schedule. I will plan to take care of your fur babies in your own home unless you have a small animal that is particularly friendly with others. It is extremely important to me that your animals feel safe, loved, and cared for in the best way possible. During the meet and greet, I will try to get an understanding of their needs and levels of affection that are appropriate. I also have three young kiddos who love animals and have been taught the appropriate, safe way to approach animals that are not ours. If that would be helpful or meaningful for your animals, I know they would love to meet them too, but obviously at your discretion.
