Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Jackson Ward, Richmond, VA

“Joe and I were truly blessed to have you watch our girls, especially Coco. We are excited to finally move to our permanent home, but I know our 3 fur babies (and us) are going to miss you! I 100% recommend you to anyone!! I know you love animals and anyone who hires you, they can put their mind at ease with you watching their fur babies. If you need someone to answer any questions, we would be more than happy to help. THANK YOU! YOU’RE ONE OF THE BEST!!”

“Elle was great with Sake her first time! He went right to her during her care for him. She always left good information on my cards. I will definitely be asking her to help out again. Thank you so much Elle for taking care of Sake. We really appreciate it!!! ??”

“This was my first time using Rover, and Blythe exceeded all expectations! I was already out of town when my friend got sick and couldn't drop-in on Lizard, so I was scrambling to find someone to come by twice a day for 3 days in a row. Blythe responded to the request quickly, took excellent care of Lizard, and sent photos from every visit. I will definitely be using Blythe again anytime I need someone to drop-in when I'm out of town!”

“First time using Rover, so we were quite nervous. But we really lucked out! We love Kayley!!! She is indeed a fairy dogmother! We will definitely love to have her come again. Sailor fell in love, and she was definitely in good hands with Kayley. ❤️”

“Katherine was completely reliable and sweet with our dog! It was our first time leaving her with a sitter and she eased all our concerns. She had all her bathroom breaks, playtime with her favorite toys and plenty of snuggles. We definitely will use Katherine again for any future trips!”

“Brittany has watched my 6-year old, Chihuahua mix several times and does SUCH a good job. She has separation anxiety and can be angsty around strangers, but Brittany does a good job of keeping her safe and calming her nerves. I've also seen firsthand how highly attentive and loving she is to her own cat. I would absolutely leave my pup with Brittany again for a walk, daycare, or overnight!”

“Grace is so amazing with my dog! She always helps out when i need someone to let him out, walk him, or just hangout and play with him. My dog gets so excited when she comes over! She is so great with him and always send me awesome pictures to show me how happy he is when she’s with him. Grace is my #1 choice of dog sitter!”

“Olivia was amazing with my furbaby. Gave him lots of love while I was traveling for work. I already have her booked again. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby! 😊”

“Katelyn was such a responsible and caring petsitter. She ensured my cats were fed and happy while I was away for a long weekend. I appreciated the pictures she sent as well—they were very welcome for a helicopter cat mom. ? I would recommend booking her as a sitter for your pets. ?”

“Very professional”

“Tasha is a very dependable, responsible, pet loving person , my dog a sassy loved her very much , she helped me with pet sitting whenever I needed her , I highly recommend her”

“Chloe was excellent and luckily available for drop-in visits last minute when my dog tore her ACL and couldn't go to her regular boarding facility. She was very professional and quick to respond to any communication. Will definitely use her again!”

“Julia was a big help watching our dog Shadow while we were away! She provided very detailed updates and amazing pictures! She was even able to stop by extra times when we had unforeseen travel emergencies. I would highly recommend Julia :)”

About: I've taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. Throughout my childhood, my family had several cats and 3 dogs. I have experience with animals of all ages, from kitten/puppy to senior pets. I currently have 2 cats of my own, but I'm more than capable of caring for dogs as well (of all sizes/breeds). Most of my friends have dogs and I always look forward to seeing them and playing with them when I get the chance. I would love a dog of my own, but being a renter and moving around a lot I can't take on an additional pet at the moment. Even though I'm a cat household, all animals are welcome and will be treated like one of the family. I work full time from home so I'm always around to look after your fur babies. I can take frequent breaks during the work day to check in on them whether it be to feed them, play for a bit, or take care of bathroom breaks. During non-working hours, they will have my full attention. When your pet is in my care, my goal is to love them and care for them like they're one of my own. I want to adapt to your pet's needs whether that means a lot of play time, walks, or just some quality couch time. If your pet has any special needs or takes medication, I can accommodate and take care of them as needed. I'll provide as much interaction as possible and keep them safe and cared for (whether that's in your home or mine). I have a small, fenced in yard big enough for dogs to run around or play a game of fetch.

“Friendly and professional! Would absolutely use her services again!”

“Bridgette was an excellent sitter for our cat Henna while we were away for a long weekend. Henna is unfortunately very shy and hides around most people other than myself, but I appreciated that Bridgette checked in on her every day and provided a detailed report so I could make sure she was doing OK. Would happily book again in the future.”

“Karli did a great job with Onyx! This is my first time using River and was hesitant leaving my large breed dog alone for the first time. Onyx got the love she needed while I was away. I would definitely rebook!”

“Emma was great! She sent great photos and updates of the pets so I felt extremely comfortable being out of town. Winston (our rabbit) is older and I definitely trust Emma to care for him while we are gone again.”

About: I have had pets all my life and absolutely love them! I currently have 3 cats and have previously worked with and owned pups :) i do well with nervous pups and kitties as well (patience is definitely key) I have plenty of time as i stay home while my partner works! I am available all days of the week and can accommodate to your schedule! I will not be able to take pups in my own home as I have kitties but can definitely look after them in the comfort of your own home! I will not be able to care for your kitty in my own home unless they are well socialized with other kitties :) I will definitely provide the care and patience needed as I know new environments and people can be extremely stressful.. I can work with any diets or medication that needs to be implemented in your pets life :)

“Amanda and her family have been friends for years. Amanda has watched my four legged children many times and they have fallen in love with her! She is wonderful at caring for them, for the entire day, and has stayed with them overnight when I was traveling and vacationing. They get as excited to see her as they do their dad! I highly recommend Amanda to care for your four legged kids! You are welcome to reach out to me with any questions or concerns. Happy vacationing in peace without worry! Thanks Amanda for caring for Brisco and Tucker!”
