Pet Sitting Northrop

“Ayme was great with our 2 cats! She followed all instructions, sent us tons of pics, and even took time to play with them. We could tell our guys were well taken care of and happy! Very professional and personable. :) Thank you!”

“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.”

“I was extremely hesitant to leave my cats with a stranger - my cats are my children in a lot of ways - but as soon as I met Kylie it reassured me I made a good choice as to who I can trust with my two boys. She made me feel relaxed, at ease and was extremely reliable/communicative. She obviously has had a lot of experience caring for animals/pets and it showed; there was not a moment that I felt uneasy. She stayed longer than she needed to and was very attentive my cats needs. I will definitely be booking future rover visits with her again! She’s the best!”

Maude F.

“She did such a great job! Super good communication and took care of our dog for almost a week. We will for sure be using her again”

Braden C.

“Marisa's drop in was fine. Vincent took to her immediately and Jules, was his usual "What type of human are you and do I want to be associated with you?" He came around a bit, but with him it takes more than one short visit.”

About: Hi! I’m Cheyenne, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on professional experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I previously worked at a kennel-free dog boarding facility, where I helped care for multiple dogs at once in a safe, supervised environment. I’ve also worked as a full-time dog walker and pet sitter, providing daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medication administration, and lots of attention and playtime. Animals have always been part of my life—I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and currently care for my own pets as well. Because of my background in both professional animal care and customer service, I understand how important communication and trust are when someone else is caring for your pet. What you can expect when your pet is with me: • Reliable, on-time care • Regular photo and text updates • Safe handling for dogs with different temperaments • Experience with multi-dog households • Lots of attention, enrichment, and play Whether your dog needs a walk while you’re at work, drop-in visits while you’re away, or extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! I work a hybrid office jobs with very flexible hours. When I do go into the office, my office is dog friendly so I can bring a furry friend along if they enjoy the socialization! I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and any specific routines your pet is used to. During visits, I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and enrichment they need, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or just companionship. I also make sure basics like fresh water, clean feeding areas, and litter boxes are taken care of. For dog walks, I focus on safe handling, appropriate exercise for your dog’s energy level, and making sure they return home happy and settled. I always send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while keeping you informed and at ease.

“Meghan did a fantastic job with my dog. She was timely and followed his medical instructions since he’s on medication and is used to a certain schedule. She was great and I would hire her again!”

Lenora H.

“Nina did an outstanding job! I could tell that Maya was happy during our 9 day vacation! She sent lots of photos and updates!! I’m very happy to have Nina sit Maya again!!”

About: I work full time as a Registered Nurse, but I have a love for all animals and would love to hang with your fur babies on my days off. I have years of experience taking care of all animals, I grew up around dogs, cats, birds, horses, frogs, and snakes . We have an aussie named Blue that we love so much and I would love to help you out with your furry friends. I can provide references as needed but can assure you your babies will be in good hands. We can also work on training as needed, make trips to the dog park, or just walk around the block! My pup is really playful so we could also have play dates if you feel comfortable with that.

“We loved having Chynna watch our dog! Our lab grew attached to her after the first visit. We will definitely be rebooking Chynna in the future!”

“Robin accommodated a last minute need for drop-in visits for my four cats. Robin provided excellent care to my fur babies. I’m re-booking with Robin today.”

About: Hello! I’m Morgan, a young student with a passion for animals and pet care. I’ve owned dogs my entire life and understand just how important diligent pet care is. Pets are a part of our families, and that should be reflected in how they are cared for. I began walking dogs as a young kid with our family dog, Hugo, an energetic and lively Weimaraner. Later we got a black lab, Mercedes, and I would walk them together, so I am quite adept at handling multiple large dogs. In high school I began pet sitting for friends and coworkers. I have experience pet-sitting older dogs and younger dogs so I understand the need for careful supervision. I’ve have experience with dogs, cats, and even birds and rabbits! I have full open availability from 6am-3pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Thursday through Sunday I have completely open availability anytime of the day! I pride myself on being and observant and a diligent caretaker. Things like making sure the food and water bowls are always clean. Checking the water bowl consistently to ensure it’s full, keeping track of the time to know they’re being fed on schedule. Both my own dogs and others I’ve cared for have required daily oral medication at different times of the day. I’m very good at staying organized and knowing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done. Additionally, making sure the animals are receiving proper exercise and stimulation either through long walks or playing with the favorite toys safely.

“Aubrey is, quite simply, the absolute best and most caring and trustworthy person one can meet. I left Maxime in her care while away for a week in Seattle; she (Maxime) is a sensitive kitty who doesn’t like to be alone and isn’t used to/tends to be wary of strangers…I don’t like to be away from her either (as I am always home, with her) so I feel a bit anxious during those rare times when I am away for more than a few days. During my trip, I felt so reassured to know Aubrey was checking in on Maxime; receiving her updates was the highlight of my days. Upon my return, I found Maxime happy and healthy, totally at ease, with no signs of anxiety whatsoever as though I’d never even left! I could tell from her demeanor that she had received the utmost love, affection, attention and care, and for this, I am exceedingly grateful for Aubrey. She truly is fantastic, she is the best!”

About: I have been house/dog sitting since I was 18. My goal is to let your animal have a calm experience while you are away. Experienced in senior care, daily meditation, specialty food, diva dogs and unique needs. All dogs are 10/10! I work 4 hour shifts but work from home most days and have a very flexible schedule. Wifi is needed for day and night care. Most days are open for walks. Regular occurring appointments are encouraged! I have a small apartment that is unsuitable for sitting at my home. Home/pet sitting: Texting daily check ins (with pictures if possible). Clear instructions for their daily routine. Medication instructions or check lists. Vet info clearly written or posted in home. A short list of nicknames they respond to (Max, maxeroine and cheese, maxster). Lots of cookies to buy their love.

“Caitlin was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly flexible, friendly, and communicative throughout the entire stay. Most importantly, she treated my cats like they were her own. I could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. She also went above and beyond to make sure everything was clean and taken care of, especially keeping the litter boxes clean. Her communication gave me so much peace of mind, and I always felt confident knowing my cats were in great hands. I would absolutely recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️”

Miles D.

“Daniel was great! He went above and beyond to take care of Lainey while I was gone. Taking care of her, cleaning up after her, and making sure she felt safe and cared for while staying home alone for the week. He was even nice enough to drop off some cookies for me and my girlfriend on his last visit. An extremely nice gesture, having known we both contracted Covid during our trip (it’s the little things 🙂). I will definitely request service from him again if he’s available in the future and strongly recommended others do the same. 10/10 dog sitting!”

About: I grew up on a farm and have cared for dogs and cats since I was 12. I moved to Richmond a few months ago to begin graduate school, but because my roommate is allergic to dogs, I had to leave my own dogs with my parents. I also have experience working at a doggie daycare, where I cared for dogs with different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I miss spending time with them dearly, so I would love the opportunity to care for your pet as if they were my own. It would be a privilege to give your furry family member the same care, attention, and affection I give my own animals. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a consistent part of my daily routine. I can plan walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins around my classes and schoolwork, giving each pet the attention they deserve. I also enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so taking dogs on walks would fit naturally into my routine. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule to help them feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. Because my roommate is allergic to dogs, I’m unable to provide pet-care services in my own home. However, I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can remain comfortable in a familiar environment. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and any other parts of your pet’s usual routine. I’ll treat your home respectfully, give your pet plenty of attention and affection, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your loved one is safe and well cared for.

“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”
