Pet Sitting Jahnke

“Eliza did a great job walking Teddy! She was on time and took photos. I can tell she is comfortable with dogs and in tune with their needs. Teddy was excited to walk with her and was a happy dog when he came home! I will definitely be hiring her again for more walks.”

“We love how much Virginia communicates with us about our complicated kitties. She brought in our mail/packages while we were away and kept our house tidy from cat-induced messes. Would definitely have her again!”

Rachael R.

“Jynette did a wonderful job with my four dogs. Everyone seemed content and happy. Highly recommend.”

Katrina S.

“Teresa was excellent with my large, often anxious, cat Sherlock. Upon my return I found a happy Sherlock with none of the usual stress symptoms. Teresa also communicated frequently and sent photos of all the snuggles and other antics Sherlock got up to each day. It was great to see my cat happy while I was away!”

Rachel M.

“I highly recommend Kay as an excellent cat-sitter! My grumpy cat was obviously comfortable with Kay from the start. I really appreciated receiving pictures and short commentary on their time together while I was away! Also, Kay approached all aspects of booking and logistics professionally and with good cheer.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs for most of my life and already occasionally pet sit for friends and family. I used to work as a caretaker at a doggy daycare, and decided to continue pet care alongside my new job as it became such a fulfilling part of my life. I'm experienced with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and I'm experienced with a variety of other animals such as cats, fish, lizards, turtles, birds, and hermit crabs. My current work schedule follows the standard Mon-Fri 8-5, with most of my weekends and evenings open. Because of this, I'd be most suited for pets that are used to this schedule already. Otherwise, I try my best to stick to their current schedule for things like feeding and walks. I always feel comfortable meeting the parent(s) and pet before the booking. I can take care of all basic tasks and am very adaptable, patient, and reliable. I do my best to learn about each pet's little mannerisms and quirks so I can accommodate them the best I can while keeping them and your home safe. I want to make sure both you and your pet end up happy! I always ask that I'm given the pet's vet and an emergency contact as well, just in case.

About: I've been volunteering at the Richmond Animal League for over a year and have previous experience working at shelters and dog daycares. I've always loved caring for animals; I used to volunteer at the SPCA when I was younger and I have two dogs of my own that I enjoy taking on walks and playing fetch with in the backyard. I have a part-time job that I work 3-4 days a week (mostly evenings). Other than that, schedule is pretty flexible! I'm available throughout the week, as well as weekends. I'm more interested in drop-in visits and dog walking, but I'll be able to petsit for as long as you need with enough notice! For pet-sitting, I'll be able to stay and take care of your pets for as long as you need me to be there. I can stay all day and even overnight if needed, or just check in periodically throughout the day! I'll carefully follow instructions given on feeding, walks/exercise, morning and bedtime routines, medications, and just overall entertainment. I'm great with dogs of all kinds of energy, whether they want to be active all day long, or just snuggled up on the couch!

About: My family has had dogs since I was born and we fostered dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I have helped out several family friends by pet sitting and walking their dogs. I’ve had some experience pet sitting cats as well. I believe all animals are special and deserve to be treated with love. At the moment I’m working part time with scattered hours so I’m able to fit in time caring for and playing with your pets I can adapt to any routines and rules that are needed to care for your pet the way you do. I am also physically active and give your pet the kind of exercise they need.

“Nina did an outstanding job! I could tell that Maya was happy during our 9 day vacation! She sent lots of photos and updates!! I’m very happy to have Nina sit Maya again!!”

Andrea G.

“Jeff provided multiple days of feeding, cuddle time, walks and loving attention for our dog. The photos he sent helped us feel at ease knowing our boy was safe and happy. We appreciated his responsibility and updates!”

Laura F.

“I was extremely hesitant to leave my cats with a stranger - my cats are my children in a lot of ways - but as soon as I met Kylie it reassured me I made a good choice as to who I can trust with my two boys. She made me feel relaxed, at ease and was extremely reliable/communicative. She obviously has had a lot of experience caring for animals/pets and it showed; there was not a moment that I felt uneasy. She stayed longer than she needed to and was very attentive my cats needs. I will definitely be booking future rover visits with her again! She’s the best!”

Maude F.

“Damacia was very prompt in communication, friendly, and left us detailed notes and pictures when dropping in on our dogs. Will definitely use again when needed!”

Christian M.

“Maggie took such great care of my kittens while I was away! The transparent communication--pictures, updates, videos, etc. was FABULOUS! They were in great hands with her! AND I would very much recommend to anyone in the area looking for the same level of care!”

Suzanne D.

“We had a great experience with Marina! She is reliable, caring, and wonderful with our dog. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we work such long hours. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”

Sabrina J.

About: I had multiple dogs since I was a child and have always considered them to be my instant best friends when I meet them. I just consider this situation a win-win I am working full time but I have 3 days off in a week which I would love to spend taking care of puppers no matter how old or young they are Right now, I prefer dog sitting in the owner’s home or dog walking in a safe park or neighborhood since I’m renting and the landlady does not allow dogs

“Cynthia is an excellent cat sitter! She has tons of experience with cats, had no problem cleaning up after my cat when she had an accident, and shared helpful advice for cat care. I’ve already booked her twice and intend to have her as my go to for future travel!”

Morgan H.

“Ashley pampered Bella as if she were her surrogate mom. The updates with pics were greatly appreciated. If your pet craves tlc and attention, Ashley is highly recommended.”

Mark C.

“Sidney is great with our puppy and was very accommodating to do a drop-in on short notice. Would recommend her to anyone looking for drop-ins and dog walks!”

Kyle D.

“We love Dominique! She is so great with our pup daisy and always leaves detailed rover cards. She is very communicative and goes above and beyond.”

Courtney V.

“Beth clearly connected with Lula! She sent sweet photos that helped reassure me that my kittycat was in good hands and getting loving attention and plenty of skritch-scratches.”
