House Sitting Lorraine

“We couldn't have been more pleased with Mikella! She was perfect and Ollie loved her -- I think he would have been happy if I hadn't come home and he got to stay with her! She took him on lots of walks and sent me pictures every day. I will definitely use her again if she is available.”

“Amazing with my dogs, just the care my family needed for our 3 babies! First tune using an in home sitter, will never go back to boarding. She will be used again!”

Sara M.

“Becky was super thorough in sending me photos, videos, and updates of my pups. She clearly loved on them like I would have, and I was so thankful to have someone care for them so deeply while I was gone. Absolutely would recommend her services, and I plan to use her again and again! 🙏🏼❤️”

“Carolyn was wonderful. She took good care of Charlie and was careful to follow instructions including administering medicine and following physical therapy instructions. She left the house very clean and orderly. We would love to use her again.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Mark! He was so kind and attentive, truly gave our two dogs the absolute best possible care while we were out of town. He was easy to communicate with and took wonderful care of our home while staying there. While away, a storm blew through Richmond and knocked down the electric line running across our backyard. Mark was so helpful at communicating everything going on, and took our dogs to a hotel two nights to make sure they were comfortable and safe. We will 100% be using Mark next time we need care for our dogs and recommending him to anyone needing a sitter!!!”

“Kira and her family have been taking care of my Sooki for a number of years now, so I trust her immensely. You can tell immediately that Kira loves animals. She is kind, conscientious, and follows directions perfectly. If you have a request she follows up quickly and follows through. Your pet will be well taken care of ! I highly recommend her for all of your pet care needs.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has grown up with family pets and has experience caring for both cats and dogs with a variety of personalities and needs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, whether they’re playful, shy, energetic, cuddly, or independent. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and attentive caring for your pet while you’re away, and I always aim to make animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. From feeding, walks, and playtime to litter box care, treats, and plenty of affection, I’m happy to provide the care and attention your pet deserves. I love meeting new pets and building relationships with them, and I’d be excited to care for your cat or dog! I work full time but have an hour long break. I also have a reliable personal car so I can travel to homes during my lunch break, ensuring that pets are taken care of throughout the day I visit homes often and send updates and pictures to families, ensuring that everyone sees their fur baby often. Litter boxes and water bowls are cleaned daily. While home owners are away, I also make sure to bring in any mail and anything else that shows up during my stay.

“Sara was very responsible and loving to my great Dane and spent a lot of time with her sent me pictures and kept me posted. I would highly recommend her to sit with your animals.”

“Janei was wonderful with our dogs and cat! She was professional, confident, and warm. She will be first on our list to call the next time we need someone!”

Caitlin B.

“I highly recommend Emily! She did a fabulous job taking care of our two girls. She is very reliable, an excellent communicator and an all-around great person. One of our dogs is a senior and requires medication twice per day - Emily handled it with ease. We were able to enjoy our trip and not worry about what was happening at home. Thank you Emily! We will definitely hire you again.”

“Benson had an absolutely wonderful time with Helena!! Helena is so conscientious- twice daily updates with pictures! The house is immaculate when we return - highly recommend Helena!!!”

“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.”

“Allison was great!!! She watched our golden retriever (Shockoe) at our house for 3 days. She sent lots of updates and handled Shockoe’s food and medicine needs like a pro. Will definitely have her back!”

About: I am a certified veterinary assistant.I graduated from a vet science class where we perform animal care on the pets we have: bunnies, cats, guinea pigs, grooming dogs, etc. I used to work at Dogtopia so I know how to handle dogs. I will be available all day on weekdays so I can spend nights in the pets home for overnights if necessary . I can't do weekends because I have a 2nd job. ⚠️ Im only available until-august 7 I have 2 ESA cats . One is a black domestic shorthair named Shadow The Hedgehog . The other is a tabby named Silver The Hedgehog

“Oli did a great job with our finicky dog- again! We were so glad to have her back. She sent daily updates with pics and left our house cleaner than she found it!”

“Catherine was truly an angel, and I honestly don’t think we could have asked for a better sitter! She stayed with our two dogs for about a week while we were out of town, and during that time our air conditioning unexpectedly went out for two days. Instead of leaving or making it our problem, she handled everything with so much patience and grace, communicated with us throughout, and stayed with the dogs the entire time to make sure they were comfortable and cared for. She even coordinated with our landlord, who later told us she was the best house sitter/Rover he’d ever met - which says a lot! When we got home, our dogs were so happy, relaxed, and completely themselves. There was zero stress or adjustment period, and honestly, I don’t even think they missed us with Catherine around! 😂 She went so far above and beyond what anyone could reasonably expect, and it’s obvious she genuinely loves the animals she cares for. We would trust her with our home and our pups again in a heartbeat. If you’re considering booking Catherine, do it - you (and your pets) will be incredibly lucky to have her! 🙏🏼”

Madeline M.

About: I’m going into my junior year at Virginia Tech with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and currently have a yellow lab at home in Richmond named Cheddar so I’m very comfortable with all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve pet-sat for friends, neighbors, and family including overnight stays, feeding routines, daily walks, and giving pets lots of attention and playtime. I’ve also cared for fish and hamsters, so I’m confident with small-pet needs too. I treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m happy to come to your home for pet care. Since I live in a college house most of the year, I actually prefer visiting your home where your pet is most comfortable. You can always text me to check my availability, and I’ll work around your schedule as best as I can. I have a car, so getting to your home is easy, and I’m happy to take your pet on walks or follow their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and stress free as possible. I make sure doors are secure, food and water are refreshed, and any instructions you give me are followed exactly. I’m respectful of your space, and I treat your home with the same care and responsibility I treat your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet company, I make sure your pet feels safe while you’re away!

“Claudia did a great job. We have 4 dogs and she took great care of them and they seemed to really like her. Would definitely ask her to sit for us again.”

“McKenzie is a pro - very responsive, excellent communication and a great caregiver to our Stella - she goes the extra mile to ensure comfort for your pet and takes great care of your home when sitting. Could not recommend her more.”

“Ada stayed overnight at my house with Bailey. She did an excellent job. Bailey loved her. She walked Bailey in the neighborhood and cuddled with her...No wonder Bailey loves her. She also left my house very nice and clean after staying there for 5 days. I will definitely call her again when Bailey needs a sitter.”
