Pet Sitting Northrop

About: My partner and I bring over 10 years of dog care experience and 5+ years managing a stable multi-dog group. We carefully watch body language, work to prevent issues early, and keep feeding routines steady so each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. We’re comfortable working with multi-dog households, different energy levels, and group dynamics. Our focus is creating a safe, structured, and positive environment where dogs can socialize, play, and settle comfortably. My specialty is organization and structure, my partner specializes in socialization and behavioral management. Pet care is part of our daily life. Someone is home throughout the day. We organize our schedule around the dogs in our care so they receive consistent supervision, play, and individual attention. We have a fenced backyard and fenced front yard, giving dogs safe space to move, explore, and play. Inside we provide a dedicated dog room and crates for dogs of all sizes, creating a comfortable and secure place for them to rest when needed. Dogs are thoughtfully grouped by temperament, with attention to proper rest rotation and consistent feeding routines to support balance and comfort. Whether in our home or a client’s home, we focus on safety, supervision, and each dog’s individual needs. We follow established routines, maintain a steady and secure environment, and make sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and at ease.

“Kylie is pleasant and positive to deal with, a good communicator, shows up on time, posts great photos, and seems to like my dog (well, you know, we all have a perfect child, even when we don't!). I will hire Kylie again.”

“Lee was amazing taking care of my cats! She was super communicative and responsible, and even my shy kitty warmed up to her immediately! Would highly recommend her and will definitely book her again in the future.”

“Kay is phenomenal! She is responsive, knowledgeable, and provides amazing communication and very funny updates! I never had to worry about the care she gave to my cat, even when I was so far away :) Thank you, Kay!”

Annabelle G.

“We had a wonderful experience with Eryn while away on vacation! She was exceptionally attentive, keeping us updated and giving us total peace of mind the entire time we were away. Our roommate mentioned how respectful and completely unobtrusive she was while in our shared home. Most importantly, our pets loved her; they've actually become noticeably more social and outgoing since her visits. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and will definitely be booking her again!”

“Makenzie did an amazing job looking after our two cats! One of them is quite shy and the other was dealing with a health issue while we were away, but she handled them perfectly and gave us helpful updates and pics along the way. Will definitely book her again in the future!”

“We love Dominique! She is so great with our pup daisy and always leaves detailed rover cards. She is very communicative and goes above and beyond.”

About: I've been volunteering at the Richmond Animal League for over a year and have previous experience working at shelters and dog daycares. I've always loved caring for animals; I used to volunteer at the SPCA when I was younger and I have two dogs of my own that I enjoy taking on walks and playing fetch with in the backyard. I have a part-time job that I work 3-4 days a week (mostly evenings). Other than that, my schedule is pretty flexible! I'm available throughout the week, as well as weekends. I'm more interested in petsitting, but I can also do daily walks and drop-ins with enough notice! For petsitting, I'll be able to stay and take care of your pets for as long as you need me to be there. I can stay all day and even overnight if needed, or just check in periodically throughout the day! I'll carefully follow instructions given on feeding, walks/exercise, morning and bedtime routines, medications, and just overall entertainment. I'm great with dogs (and cats!) of all kinds of energy, whether they want to be active all day long, or just snuggled up on the couch!

“Jeff did a great job watching my two cats, making sure they got their food, meds, and lots of snuggle time or just time with some company. He was very responsive, was respectful of all my requests - including a bit of a crazy food/med routine - and I could tell my cats really bonded with him and were happy to see him. It's always such a relief knowing your pets are being well cared for while you're away!”

Leora C.

“Alyssa was great with my cat, who experiences separation anxiety. She did a wonderful job and sent me pics of my kitty getting skritches. I appreciate her care.”

Rebecca M.

“Gabriel took great care of my cat, Nigel! He sent daily photos of my fur child and even took care of some other household needs as necessary while I was away. Wonderful first experience hiring a pet sitter on the app ☺️”

Natalie M.

“Though it's always difficult leaving my fur babies behind, finding a sitter as reliable and conciencious as Nicole considerably lessens my worry. Even my most stand-offish boy looked like he was in sheer heaven during Nicole's visits. And it really made our day to see all the wonderful photos shared from Nicole's visits. If you're on the fence about who to entrust with your fur babies care, Ihighly recommend you book with Nicole!”

Deborah B.

“Gilbrith provided great care to our kitties!!! She provided them with play time and attention beyond the essential care. Gilbrith was very easy to communicate with and provided regular updates. Thank you!!!”

About: I have experience caring for both puppies (even during potty training) and senior pets with special medication or mobility needs. I have pet sit for numerous families with senior pets and have been successful in meeting all of their needs and providing the best care possible. I would love to do the same for your pet! I am in my 4th year of medical school, so my schedule is more flexible than an average full time job. I often have odd shifts or hours, so I can often tend to pets at times where others may not be able to! I am willing to fit caring for your pet into my schedule however I can. I currently have 1 cat who lives in my apartment. I am so excited for the day we move to a home where we can build him a cat patio (or catio as we lovingly refer to it as), but for now he loves sitting in the window and seeing all of the sights outside! I would be willing to travel wherever needed to pet sit or do pet check-ins/potty breaks/walks. I would care for your animal just like it was my own. My goal is to meet all of your pet's needs, from physical to emotional and psychological. I also strive to maintain great relationships with pet owners to make leaving pets less stressful and anxiety-inducing.

“Came to let our dog out while we went to a concert for the night. Sent us tons of pictures and completed the visit on time! Smooth meet and greet process and will definitely be booking again!!”

Carmella D.

“Aubrey is the best! She always goes above and beyond when checking in on my cat, Henley! Her updates are professional and friendly. I've used her multiple times and will book with her again!”

Larry N.

“Madison is a wonderful pet sitter. She was punctual with every visit and very patient with my cat. I would absolutely recommend Madison for anyone looking for a sweet and caring pet sitter.”

About: I worked for a pet sitting company (Woofies) for about a year. I have worked with all different types of dogs and cats. I have also worked with hamsters, fish and guinea pigs. I average about 8-12 visits a week and about 40 a month. I am extremely flexible and reliable as well. I have had regular clients for months on end and made bonds with lots of pets. I am currently very available and willing to work around many schedules. I am used to planning day around visits and making times for the pets. I am used to house rules and regulation. I avoid areas specified and work hard to gain client trust. I follow all tasks listed and try to get to know the pet as well. I can do meals, medications, walks/potty breaks, playtime, light cleaning and more! I follow the instructions given by the client at all times.

“Amazing communication and so sweet with my pup. She sent the cutest photos and I plan on continuing to use Maggie for all services!! 10/10 would recommend”
