Pet Sitting Palmyra

“Dustin & Allyson did a fantastic job watching our cat! They sent tons of pictures and made sure to communicate how she was doing each day! Dustin was a pleasure to chat with at our meet & greet. We will definitely be using them again in the future!”

“Lauren took excellent care of my cats, especially an elderly one of mine who also needed injections. She was also available at very short notice even though I was a new client. She did a wonderful job and I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs someone to care for their animals.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong pet owner and have spent the past 12+ years volunteering with a local rescue that specializes in special-needs animals. Over the years, I’ve fostered dozens of dogs with a wide range of needs, helping them learn basic obedience, house manners, and successful housebreaking skills while preparing them for their forever homes. I currently share my home with a special-needs Great Dane, a Labradoodle, and an elderly cat. My Labradoodle is a trained therapy dog, and together we participate in visits to schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and other community settings. Through my own pets and foster animals, I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, dogs with mobility challenges, dogs requiring medications, and pets needing extra patience and attention. I regularly provide pet care for friends, family, and neighbors through home visits and in-home boarding. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to provide the same love, structure, and care that they receive at home. Whether your pet is young and energetic, elderly, special-needs, or simply needs a little extra attention, I will care for them as if they were my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. My children are grown, and I have the flexibility to devote plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Our own pets are an important part of our family, and caring for them is already a central part of my daily life. I enjoy playing pickleball and going to the gym, but otherwise I spend much of my time at home. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, companionship, and lots of attention for visiting pets. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a consistent routine, I have the time and flexibility to help them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for your pets. My home has a securely fenced yard and a doggie door, allowing dogs safe access to outdoor time while remaining supervised. I also have multiple crates and the ability to separate pets when needed. With years of fostering and caring for special-needs, senior, and rescue animals, I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels. I am experienced in managing introductions, creating separate spaces, and maintaining routines that help pets feel secure and stress-free. When providing care in your home, I treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I am happy to bring in mail and newspapers, water plants, clean litter boxes, and help maintain your pet’s normal routine. I can also transport pets to veterinary appointments if needed. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so you can travel with confidence, knowing your pets and home are in good hands.

“This was our first time leaving our newly adopted cat and Michelle took great care of her. She provided us with detailed feedback and took the extra step of cleaning up tracked litter and fur balls to keep our cat's space clean.”

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for my whole life. I started my professional animal care working as a farmhand, caring for horses dogs and cats from a young age. I was a veterinary assistant for 6+ years and am comfortable medicating our furry friends. I've previously trained a deaf puppy for a neighbor. By the end of our time working together the dog had confidently learned sit, lie down, roll over and fetch via hand cues. I'm happy to discuss my availability with you to see if I could potentially be a good fit for your situation. My work schedule is currently Tuesday - Saturday. I enjoy spending time with the animals I care for. I will make sure any medication are given as prescribed, play with them, brush them as needed or requested. I will contact you if there is any concerns for your fur baby. I am happy to send pictures to you while you're away if that is desired.

“We were in town for a couple of nights and wanted to go out to a nice dinner. We had Megan come to our hotel room to stay with our Schnoodle so she wouldn’t bark the whole time! Megan was great. Right on time- very engaged and we felt very comfortable leaving her with Maisy. Highly recommend.”

About: I have a large family dog that I have been responsible for since I was about 10 years old. She has since gotten older so I have experience with a senior dog and giving any sorts of medication (and the peanut butter necessary to get her to take it). I am no stranger to having to clean up any accidents in the house so that is a non-issue for me. I am also open to taking care of other animals like rodents or turtles or other cage creatures. I am a true and passionate animal lover! My schedule is very flexible at the moment. I am happy to give as much or little time needed for the pets. I can figure out any scheduling and details necessary with clients. I am never loud coming into a home. I always let the pets come to me unless they are hiding on purpose. I take care instructions very seriously and will follow everything exactly and will reach out if I have questions about the best way I can care for your fur friend.

“Haley was great! We had her check in on our dog who recently had puppies. We couldn’t ask for better care and communication throughout the process. I highly recommend Haley as a dogsitter!”

Rodney O.

“My wife has always had someone to watch her dog, but we recently built a house and she moved to Goochland County. It was our first time using the Rover service and Riley was great. She sent notes and pictures to keep us updated on each stay. She was great and will be using her services again!”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for the last five years. Within my experience, I have only taken care of dogs under the age of 10. I absolutely love to go on long walks with animals! I currently work five days a week, but my work is in the center of my desired sitting area. In my previous sitting jobs, I have been able to take my 30 minute break at work to go check on the animals and let them out. I am normally up really early in the morning and late at night, so your animal will get enough care during the entire day! I care for pets very safe and carefully. I always have my leg first when opening doors to prevent pets from wondering off, and I always double check doors before leaving. I am very responsible when it comes to feeding animals. I also bring in mail/take trash cans out if needed during the sitting! :)
