House Sitting Jackson Ward

“Mallory was beyond amazing, both for my pets as well as my house, going above and beyond for us, particularly in a tricky time. I would certainly book with Mallory again in a heartbeat.”

“Kendall was beyond friendly and responsible. She was extra caring communicating with us before we booked with her, sending her ETA when she came for a meet and greet when we were looking for a house and dog sitter. Kendall is the perfect house sitter as she is self employed and therefore can do a lot of work from home. She let us know exactly when she had outside commitments such as business meetings so we knew our pup would have plenty of company while we were gone. She also asked many questions to make sure she knew exactly what we were hoping for in terms of care. We received many updates and photos while we were gone and Kendall sounded like she generally enjoyed everything about taking care of our pup. Kendall left our home in spectacular condition. Thank You Kendall!”

“Thank you Marissa! Figgy was well cared for and were so thankful to be able to leave her at home instead of at a kennel. Marissa left the house spotless and was extremely flexible when our plans changed.”

“Douglas was such a great pick to hang with our pups and care for our home while we were gone. Our pups like to keep things interesting and Douglas’s patience with them is not only appreciated, but is admired, especially when it came to caring for our senior dog. We would gladly welcome Douglas back to our home, and I know the pups would love that too.”

“My Dog definitely had better time at home with grant than going to a kennel! Great communication and care let me relax while out of town. Thank you grant!”

“Rosemary is the best! She provided our animals a wonderful care experience and was very thoughtful in watching our house while we were away. Rosemary is also very communicative, letting us know how our animals were while we were away.”

About: I grew up in a multi-cat household and now own 5 cats between my parents and myself! There's no kitty I can't handle - from super social, to shy, to very sassy, I'm known to be able to form a bond with every cat that comes into my care. I'm also a lover of all animals, I owned fish and lizards and have spent a lot of time helping walk and take care of my family's dogs. My animals are my life, and I've been on Rover for almost four years now! I also have a lot of experience working for Happy Cats Concierge LLC in Reston, VA, where I provided a range of services for cats of various quantities, ages, and personalities. Whether your furry friend needs a playmate, cuddle buddy, bodyguard, or just someone to stop by for food and medicine - I got you! My schedule is open and my day-to-day is flexible! Any specific dates I’m unavailable will be reflected on my calendar. Please message me with any other scheduling questions. Inside, outside, leash or no leash, crate, etc., I will honor the owner's wishes for where their furry friend needs to be spending their time. I value consistent routines and attentiveness while your pet is in my care. All of my services will be based in the client's home or neighborhood.

“Kaity was such a great companion for Kiki and Lenny. She was responsive to messages, came for a meet and greet and the arranged time, and took great care of our dogs. We will definitely book her the next time we are out of town!!”

About: I have cared for animals for all my life, I grew up with both a dog and cat, and developed a genuine love for both. For the past three years I lived in south lake tahoe where I regularly dog sat for my friends and took them trail running, biking, and hiking. I love being outdoors, and a furry friend besides me makes the experience 10x better. In the past year I have worked at farms specifically with animal care and husbandry; including feeding and herding sheep and alpacas, working alongside herding dogs. I administered medications to large farm animals for infections and other needs. Whether your pet loves long outdoor adventures, leisurely strolls in the neighborhood or simply companionship and cuddles, I'm happy to meet and care for them! I’m currently visiting family in Richmond, Virginia, after spending the past year bikepacking and traveling throughout Southeast Asia. As I apply for forestry positions back in California, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, walks, and outdoor adventures. I don’t currently have a space of my own to host pets, but I’m very comfortable caring for animals in their own homes. Whether you need someone to stay overnight, stop by for visits, or pick up your dog for a walk or adventure, I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and your preferences.

“Mitch was great! He took good care of my dog while I was out of town and was easy to communicate with. He shared updates while I was gone and I would definitely recommend him and use his services again in the future!”

About: I have been a pet sitter since I was a child. I started when I was about 11 years old and grew up in a house of 4 dogs and a cat that I would spend a lot of my free time training. I now have a 7 year old mini dachshund that I spend my time with while working from home & getting my masters (online) from Indiana University! I work from home so I have free time all throughout the week to tend to your pets needs. My work is project based so I can get up and take your pet out however much is needed. I ensure pets feel comfortable by sticking to their routines, providing exercise, and offer quality company. I prioritize cleanliness and safety, keeping their space secure and well-maintained the same way I would my own.

“Ryan was great with Holly and very accommodating and understanding after a last minute scheduling!”

“Celeste was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was communicative, thoughtful, and consistently kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared about my dog, and seeing how happy and comfortable my dog was in her presence meant everything to me. I could tell my dog felt safe, loved, and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Celeste again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 14 years old. My neighbors have trusted me to watch their pets for extended periods of time. I love all animals! I work from home until the summer so my schedule is very flexible! I can walk your dog most of the day during the week. I provide loving, attentive, and responsible care for pets in my home and/or my client's home. I make sure each pet has fresh food and water, a clean and comfortable environment, regular exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, routines, and special needs. I also provide companionship, monitor their health and behavior, and keep owners updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I prefer to go by Cameron (he/him). Since I can remember I have been caring for dogs and cats of various breeds, ages, and abilities. When I was in middle school my mom became involved in The Southern Cross Boston Terrier Rescue and we brought home many dogs to foster and officially adopt. Throughout my childhood I cared for blind dogs, deaf dogs, and dogs that struggle with seizure disorders. Now that I'm all moved out I have a long haired four year old cat named Fester. I'm helping my roommate raise her kitten and coparenting Benny my partner's Boston Terrier from the SCBTR. I'm currently returning to the workforce after recovering from top surgery so my schedule is very open. While I don't have a car at the moment I do have a bike plus I live in a convenient place to catch the bus. I don't currently have any fall trips planned so I should be here in Richmond area for quite a while. I don't take pets home with me to care for them. I am more than happy to come to you or take your pets to park based on what you would prefer. I am happy to feed, play with, and walk your pet as well as administer any extra care they may need.

“Aubrey provided us the peace of mind needed to travel out of town for a week. She took incredible care of my two hounds and our home. She goes above and beyond. She communicates and sends daily pictures and videos. We are thankful for her and will always reach out when we need care for our boys!”

“Madelaine was a fantastic sitter! She provided regular updates and the sweetest photos so we knew our dog was having fun and feeling comfortable. It was clear that Madelaine loved spending time with our dog and made sure he got ample exercise and time to enjoy the weather. It was my first time having a sitter in our house and I never had to worry if he was comfortable. I would ask Madelaine to sit again anytime I travel!”

About: My family is full of huuuuge animal lovers! Because of this, I’ve unofficially had years of experience with dogs, and more recently cats too! My three older siblings have two dogs each so I’ve had experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Of course I have experience with my own husky Luna who can be the toughest of em all lol I’m a full time student at VCU and I work a part time job, so I can get a little busy during the week! However, morning and evening visits are no problem, and my schedule is very flexible so I can always figure something out :) I will treat your home with the utmost respect and care for your pet like my own. I know, as a pet parent myself, that I’d like detailed updates on my dog as well as many pictures so I’ll do the same for you! I'Il treat them like my very best friend, I'll play with them, take them for walks around the neighborhood for some fresh air, and of course provide cuddles.

“Sydney was great! She took great care of Dakota and the house. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be reaching out in the future.”

“Blue is thoughtful, thorough, and did an amazing job taking care of our pets and home after we had a sitter situation fall through last minute. Blue was communicative and very sweet with our fur babies (Alaskan malamute and very shy cat). Will definitely be working with Blue again and you should too!”
