Cat Sitting in Hanover

“Randi was awesome! I don’t often leave my dog so I was fairly nervous to use a stranger. However, she came by while I was here to meet my dog, and watching her with him immediately put me at ease. We have already booked another session with her!”

“Cathy took care of our two labs when we had a long day away from home. She sent nice photos and a detailed report - greatly appreciated. She also took the job with only one day notice.”

Josh D.

“Laura was terrific with our two little dogs. Great communication. Photos after every visit, so I'd be reassured all is well! Will definitely hire Laura again in the future should the need arise.”

About: I have owned dogs all my life. At one point I owned 4! I am moving home from college and just got a job in Richmond. I am very flexible and will be in town to help out whenever needed! I am an elementary school teacher in Hanover County during the school year! I am fully open during the summer to care for your pets during the day. I treat them like my own! I love to hang out with pets, and I love a list. If there is a specific set of things to do, I will follow it exactly and make sure the pet gets what they need.

About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I wait to begin my career as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant in late August. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾

About: I have experience with many sizes, ages, temperaments, and breeds of dogs. I have fostered military emo-support dogs while their trainers have been deployed, and have experience working for a dog boarding company and twenty years of experience with my own dogs. Our line up is Mochi - Great Pyrenees, Pawnee - Pitsky, and Remy - Border Collie mix. We also have chickens and cats on the property. I have a flexible schedule that allows for pet care in my weekly routine. I also have flexibility that can match unpredictable changes in your day or schedule. I can work with each pet to meet their visit needs to allow their day to be as enjoyable as possible while you are away.

“Although my cat was initially wary of a stranger, Alexandra made fast friends with him and I felt better knowing he wasn't too lonely while I was gone. Thanks Alexandra!”

“Allyson did a great job watching our 2 pups over a few days, and was very flexible with our schedule, which we so appreciate! She took care of the dogs to the same level we do with so much care, and was very communicative over the whole duration of her checking in on them. Highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: I would take care of little to big puppies of all ages. My favorite was a 7 year Great Dane I would house sit for. I have always grown up with animals and would also pet sit when my parents were out of town. My schedule is super flexible, since I am a college student! I can work with the owner and make sure the dog and cats get the attention they need:) I walk, feed, play and bath pets have worked with and have in my own house. I go for long walks and feed pets based on the owners preference.

“Krystal did a great job! She not only followed instructions but gone above and beyond. She was very patient, spoiled and pet my cat, and sent pics every day. I will definitely book with her to care of my cat again in the future.”

About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my whole life! I currently have a 3 year old and 3 month old labrador retriever. I am comfortable with dogs/cats of all ages and sizes. I currently work 3 days a week, so I am pretty flexible! I know my schedule well in advance. My days off are open and I can change hours around as needed. I have a 3 month old puppy who is still learning. I am comfortable reinforcing any training your pet may be learning. I want to make sure your pet feels loved and safe during my time caring for them!

“Noah was absolutely awesome with my puppy Bandit, he was communicative and sent me pictures of my fur baby throughout each visit, which I really appreciate! He was super professional and very kind! Would definitely recommend if you want to be sure your pet is in good hands!”

About: Hello, my name is Darwin. I grew up around all kinds of animals and have many years of experience with taking care of dogs. I am trustworthy, reliable, and experienced. I am willing to care and sit for your companions for a reasonable price. I work full time as a manager and have a pretty flexible schedule. My free time usually starts after 3pm, but I can always plan accordingly to you and your pets need. I have a fenced yard that allows my pups to roam around and explore. They get consistent care and are very loved, and I would love to do the same for your furry friends.

About: I have been taking care of and walking dogs of all kinds since I was 14. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and understand the responsibility of caring for an adult dog and a puppy. I have also worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility, as well as a local dog trainer where I was responsible for feeding, medicating, exercising, and playing with dogs of all sizes and ages. I take my job seriously and will care for your pet like it is my own! I'm working full time currently so I am not available for mid-day drop ins, but would love to spend extra time in the morning and evening with your pet! I normally walk my dogs after work, and would love to fit your pet into my schedule! I do not take dogs into my home because I already have too many! However, I will follow your instructions closely to ensure that your pet gets the care it needs. I am open to all types of dogs and have experience with crate training, leash training, and basic obedience training.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all temperaments and types for my entire life. Pet-care is something I take seriously and seriously enjoy! We don’t deserve our animals, so they deserve the best! I’m working part-time from 4am-12pm so my daily schedule is pretty open! I’m comfortable house-sitting if needed or just checking in and caring for your pets, whatever they need! I know how to handle and care for dogs and cats and i’m very open to your requirements or instructions! I try my hardest to make sure they are comfortable, cared-for, and not stressed by my presence.

“Jennifer T was wonderful. Dogs were content when we returned. Sent me pictures and ok message when was with them. Really set my mind at ease. Will definitely use again.”
