Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in North Highland Park, Richmond, VA

“My first experience with Rover and I could not have chosen a better pet sitter! My cat is normally very shy around unfamiliar people- she took to Chynna instantly. The pictures of Luna instantly put me at ease. I will definitely rebook with her next time!!”

“Devinder is very friendly and makes sure your pet gets the care they need. My dog Sylvester is being left alone in the home for the first time since COVID started and Devinder makes him feel comfortable while I'm away. Devinder is great about sending updates and photos. Definitely booking again!”

“Kristina somehow got our rather cranky orange cat to make an appearance! Having her come got us out of jam and made for one less thing to worry about.”

“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!”

Sara T.

“Elizabeth is fantastic! Clio requires special care, and Elizabeth was super communicative and comprehensive in our upfront prep, and was great during her drop-in visit to make sure everything went smoothly for Clio. She was attentive to our fur baby's needs, and Clio seemed to have a great time hanging with her! We will definitely be working with Elizabeth again!”

“Holland was a pleasure to work with. My dog can be quite anxious, and Holland was wonderful—carefully following my instructions and showing real empathy and understanding for my dog’s needs.”

About: I bring a calm, compassionate presence and a deep respect for every pet’s unique personality and needs. With a background in social work and years of experience supporting vulnerable communities, I understand how important trust, reliability, and clear communication are, especially when caring for beloved companions. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, unhurried care and stick closely to your pet’s routine. I’m especially experienced with cats and anxious or sensitive dogs who may need extra time, patience, and reassurance. Whether your pet prefers quiet companionship, long walks, or interactive play, I tailor my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at ease while you're away. I'm happy to accommodate special instructions, medications, or unique routines because your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s. I have a flexible professional schedule , I work from home several times a week and I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pet while you are away. I highly value the safety and comfort of your pet! I have a fenced in back yard and plenty of space indoors for your pet to hang out either with me and my cats or for some restful alone time.

“Thane sent detailed notes of each visit along with photos. Our cat usually takes a while to warm up to people but the two of them really seemed to hit it off! We’ll definitely be looking to book Thane again in the future.”

“Elijah was super communicative and my very shy cat ended up becoming best buddies with him! I felt so much more at ease knowing he was taking good care of her.”

About: I crate trained my parents puppy and took care of her for the first few months of her life. Additionally, I've dog sat for family friends previously. They've trusted me to stay at their house so I can make sure their dog was never lonely. I'm currently working part-time, so I am available for dog walking and dog sitting. My schedule is flexible, so I only need a few days notice for any services. I like to let the dogs get to know me by letting them sniff me so they can be comfortable with me walking them or staying in their home.

“This was my first time using Rover and having someone watch our Frenchie, Nova, while we were out in Nassau, Bahamas for a week and Kayley was amazing! We were a little nervous at first, but she made us feel so comfortable with her consistent updates, photos, and care. She took Nova on long walks, gave her lots of playtime and attention, and made sure she was safe and happy every day. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. I’d highly recommend Kayley to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for their pet!”

Katania C.

“We hired Catherine because of her numerous great reviews. She was available for the time we needed and was prompt to schedule a meet and greet. Catherine was very likable, personable, and relatable. We needed someone who we could trust to watch our pups but also would be respectful to our home as well, knowing she had over 80+ great reviews gave us peace of mind. She watched our pups while we were away on vacation. She was very communicative and kept us up to date with how our fur babies were doing, sending updates and photos. We had her come to our home for 30 min visits, where she fed them, took them outside for potty breaks, and spent some time loving on them. We have a female 11 yr old yorkie, and a male 4 yr old vizsla,our yorkie is just loveable towards everyone, but our vizsla he was a bit apprehensive in the beginning with her but Cat was determined to win him over and by midweek he finally warmed up to her. I would highly recommend Catherine to anyone who is looking for someone to come into their home and care for their pets.”
