House Sitting in John Marshall, Richmond, VA

“Rosemary is the absolute best!! She is responsive, attentive and took amazing care of our elderly golden doodle who requires twice daily insulin shots. She cared for our home as well—we returned to a spotless house and thought the house cleaners had come! We are excited to hire Rosemary again. ?❤️”

“Mackenzie took wonderful care of my pups while I was away! My oldest has some pretty severe anxiety that can lead to behavioral problems, and MacKenzie did not even hesitate to take on the challenge. She was able to spend a ton of time at home with them and take them places with her when she had to leave so that were constantly with company and happy, relaxed and engaged. Also, just so kind and friendly. Really genuine and caring energy. Loved that about her! I will certainly be using her for future out of town dates!”

“Oli helped us out on really short notice and took fantastic care of our pup. It was such a relief to know our girl was getting love and attention while we were away. Thank you, Oli!”

“Kelly took absolutely stellar care of my cat Ophie and my apartment while I was out of town for two weeks. She was incredibly flexible, communicative and accommodating (I even needed to extend my trip two times at the last minute). Most importantly, she worked true magic with my cat, who is usually very standoffish with anyone other than myself and tends to shut down if I go away for any amount of time due to separation anxiety. After just a few days Ophie was letting Kelly brush her and hanging out in the main room, going about her usual routine. By the end of the trip she was actually hanging out with Kelly on the couch!! I've genuinely never seen her so at ease with anyone other than myself in all 11 years of her life. I couldn't be happier with the service Kelly provided. It's one thing to know you pet is being taken good care of while you're away. It's an entirely different matter to know that they're actually enjoying themselves too! Kelly was able to give me that peace of mind and I couldn't be more grateful. I returned from my trip to a spotless apartment and a very happy kitty. I will absolutely be reaching out to her again the next time I need to go out of town! Thanks Kelly!!”

“Katelyn took great care of my dog Gus and sent me regular check in’s. And she was a very respectful houseguest in my apartment and left it in perfect condition. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Gabby was amazing with our sweet pup! We have an older dog and Gabby sent many photos and spent a lot of time with her. And the house was immaculate after she left! Highly recommend!”

“Becca was great! so good with Luna, when i came home, i think she was hoping to see her again, will definitely, hire again! Such a great experience vs. kennels where is seems more impersonal and the little dogs literally get the short end of the stick.”

“Brittany goes out of her way to make sure that we and our pets are well cared for! We don’t leave them behind very often but, when necessary, we love it when Brittany takes over! She is like having a favorite aunt show up and the dogs and cats love her! Brittany is also very responsive to communications and provides timely updates on a daily basis, so we are aware of what’s happening in our pets lives while we’re away. I would not hesitate to use her pet sitting services anytime we need help!”

“Lydia was very responsive when setting up and throughout the stay. We made arrangements on short notice for a long weekend stay at our house. She followed all of our instructions exactly. She took our dogs on a long walk and played with them in the yard. Lydia was easy to work with, and we would have her stay with our dogs again.”

“Brad took excellent care of my 2 dogs while I was away. He sent me updates and pictures daily. My pups were treated like his own. Will definitely book again!”

“Liz was a wonderful dog/house sitter!! She made sure to send me daily picture updates which is so thoughtful and reassuring. 10/10 would book again :)”

“Amanda was an amazing sitter! She sent great updates and photos of her time with our pups and they absolutely adored her. It was great knowing that they were in good hands while we were gone and we will absolutely use her sitting services in the future!”

About: I just retired & have lots of time on my hands. I enjoy pets & have reliable transportation to get where I need to go. It’s a good fit because I just retired June 7th and I believe pet sitting will work for me. I’m really an active retiree, but I can make it work. I can’t watch peoples pets at my apartment, but I can watch peoples pets at their home. I can walk your pets and spend time with them.

“We were so lucky to find Jenel to stay with our 12 year old dog! She was wonderful from the moment she responded to the request, then came to meet him and see the house, and kept in amazing contact while we were away. He was so happy with her and we would highly recommend her.”

“Jordan has watched my dog and cat a few times now and has always been great. My dog has separation anxiety when I’m gone, but I know he’s in good hands and she takes good care of him. Will continue to book with her for future needs!”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown even more. Now that I have moved to Richmond, I'm missing my animals back home. I love making new pet buddies, and want to ensure they are as happy as can be. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends' pets throughout high school. My dog back home has allergy issues that required medication everyday, so I have experienced in giving oral medication. Im currently enrolled at VCU and only have classes for about 3 hours in the morning, so I’ll have plenty of time to be around for furry friends. I always give much love to the pets I care for. I understand that all pets are different and make sure to cater to their schedule.

About: Hi there! I have loved animals since I was very little, I grew up around pets. I have experience in animal shelters, as well as some grooming from personal experiences with my own pets. On dog walks I can jog/run with your pet to get them in some good exercise, I love running and staying fit as well as keeping pets nice and healthy. I work from home three days a week with a flexible schedule, as well as usually being home on the weekends. Plenty of different availability I go above and beyond for my pets as well as for my clientele. I pay attention to detail, I have a good sense of my surroundings

“Kelsey is the ideal person to care for your pet. I have known her for years and find her to be dedicated, conscientious, and truly loving of dogs. I would not hesitate to have her take care of my dog anytime.”

“Monique was wonderful with our rescue dog and understanding her special needs. Very good in communication and follow through. We will definitely use her again for future house sitting or dog walks. Thanks, Monique!”

“I have 2 cats and 2 dogs, including one dog with lots of health issues who hadn't been away from me for more than 12 hours since I adopted him in 2020 and is very clingy/not good with others. Dana came over for a few introductory meetings and then house- and pet-sat and did a fantastic job with all the animals and the house in general. I will 100% work with her again! Thank you, Dana!”
