House Sitting in Northern Barton Heights, Richmond, VA

“Meghan was such an amazing sitter for our pup! She was super responsive and communicative throughout her whole stay. I had no worries while we were out of town that our sweet boy was well cared for. She’s the best so if you can have her take care of your pet, do it!”

“jasmine did an absolutely wonderful job with my three pups. i have two mini-aussies and an aussie/husky mix, so three high energy and high velcro dogs. she sent me lots of pictures and seemed to really bond with them while i was away. aussies definitely need you to prove that you’re worthy of their trust. i am rather type A about my dogs’ routine and very verbose, but she followed my instructions to a tee and kept me updated throughout the day. i have gps collars that count their steps and sleep. their goal is usually 20k steps. one of my dogs was hitting 60k/day while she was there and i greatly appreciate her putting in the time and energy to make my dogs happy and relaxed. i will definitely be reaching out to jasmine whenever i need a dog sitter.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember.. Growing up with everything from cats and dogs to rabbits, spiders, ferrets and even the occasional rescue critter. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly feel at home when I’m surrounded by furry friends. I absolutely adore cats! Their quirky personalities & quiet cuddles melt my heart & I love the energy & companionship dogs bring. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal with the same love & care I give my own. My schedule has its quirks, but it works in your pet’s favor! Tuesdays and Thursdays are actually my most flexible days, perfect for morning and evening walks or extended hangouts with your furry companion. As a full-time grad student and part-time social worker, my hours can be a little unpredictable but I always make time for what matters. Even with a busy calendar, caring for animals is a priority I never push aside. Whether it’s a midday drop-in or a sunset stroll, I’m happy to fit in the love and attention your pet deserves. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are at the heart of the care I provide. Whether I’m coming to your home for a walk, a cuddle session, or staying for an overnight house sit, I treat your space and your pets with the utmost respect and care. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry family member in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. I follow any routines you’ve set, keep their environment clean and peaceful, and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. Whether it’s daily check-ins, long walks, or overnight companionship, I show up with patience, attention, and genuine care.

“This is our second time working with Cat—we love her! She is great about sending updates and is very considerate of our preferences and requests.”

“Cindy was great! She stayed with my dogs for the second week of my two-week vacation. She came to our home a month prior to the stay for a meet & greet, then again the night before to go through the dog/house care instructions and the logistics of handoff from the first week Rover. I appreciated that she sent photos letting me know she arrived and that the dogs were enjoying sitting on her lap that first day. We communicated throughout her stay. She was patient for my responses (I was asleep half the world away) when she had trouble with the front door digital lock & when the GFI needed to be reset. I appreciated her questions and the insightful comments she left about my dogs. I felt very comfortable with Cindy caring for our house and the dogs. I will have her come again.”

“Steph was amazing with our pup Bella! She stepped in on very short notice and stayed with Bella all weekend, which we truly appreciated. Throughout her stay, Steph kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a happy (and wonderfully tired!) puppy — no easy task with Bella’s energy! Thank you, Steph, for taking such great care of her. We’re looking forward to having you watch Bella again soon!”
