“Holland is an excellent, professional, and communicative sitter. She went the extra mile, and on short notice, and I would rebook and recommend her services to anyone.”

“Chynna was so wonderful with our senior Bostons I felt like she looked after them like they were her own. I really appreciated all the photo updates and the extra attention she gave them while we were away! We will definitely have her watch our pups again 💯🧡”

“Devinder takes great care of my cat Theo, who can be a bit sassy and territorial, especially when it comes to his personal space. I’d definitely recommend Devinder to anyone with a quirky or particular pet - he handles them with care!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, and even farm animals—and I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to seniors who need medication and gentle care. I fostered through the Richmond SPCA in college, which taught me patience, how to read different personalities, and how to help shy or nervous pets feel safe. I’ve also worked with professional trainers while raising my own dog, so I’m comfortable reinforcing basic commands, routines, and positive behavior. I’m active and love taking dogs on long walks and play sessions, but I also know how to slow things down for older pets or those who prefer a calm routine. What sets me apart is that I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your pet with someone new, and I focus on giving both you and your pet comfort while you’re apart—lots of love, clear communication, and updates that help you feel connected every step of the way. I live at home and work remotely, so I’m able to be with your pet throughout the day. This gives me the flexibility to stick to their routine, whether that means regular potty breaks, long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company so they never feel alone. Your pet won’t be waiting hours for attention, I’m around to give them consistent care and comfort. I live in a three bedroom home with plenty of space and a secure 6-ft fenced yard, with Ring cameras surrounding the property for added safety and peace of mind. My own dog is crate trained, friendly, and well-socialized—he loves to play but is gentle and respectful enough to give visiting dogs space when they need it. I can keep pets separate if preferred, and I have two bedrooms set up as little “pet hotels” so each dog has their own quiet, comfortable space to relax, sleep, or eat without stress. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I follow your routines closely, communicate often, and make sure every animal feels safe, understood, and treated like family.
“Rachel did a wonderful job during her drop-in’s with my two dogs while we were away for 4 days! Her communication was excellent, and we enjoyed seeing photos of how happy our dogs were during her visits! One of our dogs can be very timid, but he came out of his shell by her second visit!”


“Linsey was super communicative and gave lots of attention to our two kitties over the Thanksgiving holiday. She kept an eye on things for us and kept us informed about the pets. We would highly recommend and will plan to utilize her services again in the future!”

“Danielle did an excellent job with Otis, kept me updated with pics and videos from her visits. He's not always the quickest to warm up but seemed to take to her on her first visit! Came home to a happy, healthy boy. Would definitely book her to look after him again!”

“Catherine was awesome with my two cats! We had a few hiccups with the alarm system and the automatic feeder, but she handled everything like a pro. She kept me updated with great communication and sent adorable picture updates too. Highly recommend!”

“Abby is great with my cat and diligent in making sure she has everything she needs. She also uses the Rover card for visit updates which is super useful!”

“Joanna is an angel sent from heaven!!!!! We were in a horrible pinch and desperate for a sitter after plans fell through for Christmas Day last minute and she came through. She was incredibly understanding of chaotic circumstances (to say the least) and extremely flexible. One of our pups is very timid and shy and we weren’t sure how it would go but she easily befriended her and treated her with kindness and respect. She sent us frequent updates with pictures which put us at ease. I cannot speak more highly of her. Book her today!!!”

“Rachel is fantastic, personality and professional ! My cats love her. I would love to use Rachel every time, and I hope she’s available when I could use a sitter again. You’re Great Rachel!! Novalee”

“Jeffrey is super reliable and responsive. We always feel comfortable heading out of town knowing our three kids are in the best of hands. They have a complicated feeding routine, and Jeffrey handles it like a pro!”

“Elijah was able to sacrifice part of his holiday weekend to check in on our cat Sebastian, and we greatly appreciate his willingness to do that. He arrived as scheduled, kept Sebastian happy and us unworried so we could enjoy our own holiday time. A win-win for all!”

“Thanks so much! Kirby was on time and so great with the puppy! Such a relief knowing that our puppy is getting such great attention from someone we can trust!”

About: Hi there! I’m new to the Richmond area and can’t wait to explore the city, preferably with a furry friend (or two) by my side. I’ve been the go to pet sitter for family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors since 2007. Whether it’s playful pups, snuggly seniors, or quirky cats, I’ve cared for them all and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. • Super flexible schedule • Happy to stay in your home (I’m neat, respectful, and come with glowing references) • Excellent communicator and completely trustworthy with both pets and homes • Big believer in belly rubs, treat breaks, and whatever makes your pet happiest I can’t host pets in my own home but, I’m more than happy to travel or housesit wherever your fur baby feels most at home. I’d love to meet Richmond’s locals and give them all the love and care they deserve. My days are wide open and pet sitting is my favorite way to fill them! I am totally flexible and always happy to see a fur best friend! While I can’t offer boarding in my home (my cat kindly lets me live there), I’m happy to care for your pets in your home. I treat every house with respect and every pet with the same love, compassion, and excitement as if they were my own.
“Hollie was wonderful with our two pups! One is a little more shy, but she still won her over and approached her with so much care. Hollie is highly communicative, responsible, and provided great care. Thank you, Hollie :)”

Magnolia Industrial Center pet parents share their Rover experiences
We were in search of last minute help taking care of our kitty and very glad to have found Catherine! During her drop-in visits, Cat communicated clearly with detailed and timely updates. Cat respected our property by following instructions and taking her shoes off inside our home. We will definitely hire Cat again and highly recommend her services.

Chynna was so wonderful with our senior Bostons I felt like she looked after them like they were her own. I really appreciated all the photo updates and the extra attention she gave them while we were away! We will definitely have her watch our pups again 💯🧡

This was our first time using Cole as our dog walker, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was kind, reliable, and took wonderful care of our doggos. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.

Melanie was amazing with my kitten while I was out of town for a few days! This was my first time ever using Rover so I had a lot of questions and Melanie was super patient, flexible, and responsive! She took great photos of my kitty and I could just tell my pet was being taken care of properly!
