Cat Sitting Holly Hills

“Oh my goodness Kim is a phenomenal cat sitter!! We came back from a 6 day trip and our picky senior cats acted like we’d never been gone. She sent great pics of them each day so I could see all the love and attention they were getting. Kim was also kind enough to handle mail and packages, and even left us a lovely welcome home treat. We’ve had mixed experiences with others in the past and it’s comforting to find someone who treats your pets and home so thoughtfully. So glad we found her!”

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.

About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 16. Dogs, cats, fish, birds, lizards and a rabbit. I have experience in older animals who need medication multiple times a day. I'm currently working part-time with few hours so I have a very flexible schedule and will have plenty of time to meet the need of you and your pet! I stick to a strict schedule if any kind of medicine is involved. Aside from that I am more laid back in my approach to pet-sitting. I love giving treats and extended play times!

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 always had a soft spot for the pets that need a little extra love. Over the years, I've adopted two rescue dogs and two rescue cats. One of my dogs was a deaf and partially blind senior who had been overlooked at the shelter, and caring for him taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to make an anxious or special-needs pet feel safe. Today I'm the proud cat mom to two tuxedo rescues, ages 14 and 6, who both have separation anxiety. Because of them, I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, maintain their routines, and earn their trust. I'll care for your pets with the same patience and love I give my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide dependable care and adjust my schedule to meet each pet's needs. I'm an early riser, so my mornings always begin by feeding, playing with, and checking in on my own cats before I start my workday. Because I'm home throughout the day, I'm able to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and playtime rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Whether your cat needs a little extra affection, interactive play, fresh food and water, or simply someone to check in and make sure they're comfortable, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care. I know how important routine is—especially for cats—and I'll do my best to keep your pet's day as familiar and stress-free as possible while you're away. At home, my cats are part of my family, and I make sure they always have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, daily playtime, and, of course, plenty of affection on their own terms. Because they have very different personalities, I've learned that every cat has unique needs. One may want to play and cuddle, while another simply appreciates a calm presence and a predictable routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow your feeding schedule, refresh water, clean litter boxes, administer medications if needed, and spend quality time with your pet based on what makes them happiest—whether that's interactive play, brushing, lap time, or simply sitting quietly with them so they feel safe and comfortable.

“He was amazing with my cat! He played with him and sent me many pictures. He followed all my instructions and kept close contact with me. I felt so much better while I was on vacation knowing my kitty was being taken care of!”

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.

“Tanti gave my kitties all the love and attention they deserve while we went out of town. She did a fabulous job! Highly recommend Tanti and will certainly have her watch our kitties again the future”

About: I've been pet sitting since I was a little kid and grew up with dogs and cats, and since I work from home full-time, I have a flexible schedule. I love getting outside for walks and tend to walk 10k steps daily, so if you have an active dog, I’m your girl! I don’t currently have pets of my own, so I love getting to spend quality time with yours! My ultimate goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home from 9am - 5pm, so I’ll be very available during the week. I have set evening plans on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but I have no standing commitments all other days of the week. I will follow whatever protocol you have for your pets. Whether that’s a specific routine, individual needs, and/or keeping you up to date with pics / messages. I want you to feel like your furry friends are in good hands!

About: Before I moved to Richmond I rescued animals in WV . I would have puppies in & out for years, nursing them & giving them to proper homes ❤️ I currently work full time so this will be an evening & weekend extra curricular for me , however I do not see this as a job, rather a hobby. Currently I just plan on walking , checking in , feeding etc . I’m currently pregnant & trying to find ways to exercise to improve my health :)

“My Louie can be a bit of a challenge… and Esther was great with him! She was patient while he warmed up to her, sending me photos and information along the way. He actually looked like he was smiling! I came home to a happy, healthy pup. Thank you, Esther! We can’t wait to use you again!”

“Kristina was very responsive, sending updates and photos of my little fur baby. Her kids were kind and gentle as well and Izzy loved getting the attention.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, including my own pets and my professional experience as a kennel attendant at a pet daycare. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, baths, medication, and providing care for pets with different needs and temperaments. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give your pet the same attention, patience, and love I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I plan my days around making sure each pet gets proper care, playtime, walks, and check-ins without feeling rushed. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. I pay attention to their behavior, needs, and any instructions provided to make sure they receive the best care possible.

About: From a young age, I’ve had much experience caring for all kinds of pets, including various breeds, sizes, and ages. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to make sure their pets receive the love, attention, and care they need while they’re away. My pet-sitting services range from overnight stays to quick drop-in visits, so I’m happy to accommodate whatever works best for you and your pets! I’ve always cared deeply for my own pets and understand just how much they mean to us. Pets truly are a person’s best friend, and I believe they deserve the same love, attention, and care that we would want for our own family. I am currently working a part-time job on the weekends, so I will have plenty of time to walk and take care of your pets. I have a fenced in backyard that my dog loves to run around and play in. When we go walks, they lead me, so I allow them to safely do what they want, within reason of course.

“Laura did such an amazing job with our older special needs dog. She was wonderful to work with, very communicative, and even took pictures of Arielle for us. Her report card was very thorough as well. It was a pleasure having Laura taking care of our fur baby. We would absolutely have her watch Arielle again and recommend her to anyone wanting a reliable sitter.”

“Hi Jenna. Thanks so much for the great care you took of our Missy. We just got home and she doesn't even seem to have missed us.”

About: I’ve had pets nearly my whole life and have been known to struggle to walk past an animal in need. This means rescuing an injured squirrel, a Cooper’s hawk, an opossum, and more, going the extra mile even when it was deeply inconvenient for me to do so. I also grew up attending zoo camp and then volunteering at a zoo from age 5 to 14, caring for a wide range of animals. I have worked with high energy pitties, a blind and anxious German shepherd, birds, cuddly kitties, fearful kitties, diabetic kitties, rabbits, and others. I have administered shots, IVs, medications, eye drops, and more. I am persistent and typically can win over even the shyest and most anxious fur baby. I have a genuine love for caring for pets and would be honored to care for yours! I am currently carefully thinking about my next full time role and working part time. My partner is an immigrant seeking employment during a time when that is extremely difficult due to the political situation. Any supplemental income is incredibly helpful for me as we navigate. I have a reliable vehicle, plenty of time to play with your pets, and love to love on them. I have a reliable car and I keep my word. I am communicative, honest, and truly love animals. I take direction well and understand that every pet has their specific needs. I don’t cut corners and do my best to provide top notch care, always.
