Pet Sitting Parnell Industrial Area

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for most of my life. My family and friends have always counted on me to care for our/their pets when needed. I have walked, bathed, fed, snuggled and played with them! I am a full time worker, five days a week, nine hours a day from 9AM to 6PM. And I also have a part-time job that I do on the weekends, but I am still open to any service I could possibly provide for you and your pet! I receive my part-time job schedule weekly schedule every Saturday, so communication is key. I will care for your pets in your home by providing them the care that they need, walks, runs, snuggles, playtime, you name it! If there is anything specific you want me to know or abide by please let me know and I will make sure you and your pet are left satisfied :)

“Ayme did a fantastic job with our two little doggies. She came ahead of time to meet them, and took detailed notes of her time with them. She sent us photos and we felt very comfortable with her. Everything went perfectly!”

About: I have been volunteering at the Richmond Animal League on Midlothian for the past 5 months learning how to work with dogs and read their body language in a role they have called couch potato which involves spending time with a dog 1 on 1 for an hour in a private room where you spend time emotionally connecting with a dog which you or the staff pick then by playing with it if it likes the toy while feeding them food, water, and cleaning up after them if they use the bathroom in the room which has only happened a couple of times. I mainly work with small to medium size mixed breeds/hounds that range in sizes from 8 to 60 pounds with ages ranging from 5 months to 7 years old that have had heart worm, abandonment issues, abuse, and neglect with the occasional couch potato since that's the breed they mainly get even though there not a beginner or easy dog to work with and this role has only worked for a few mixed beagles since there a hound dog which means they like to be outside doing games where they sniff and find stuff, run and play outside, but since this role is for indoors I manage with what I can do for them in the short amount of time i'm there with them. My profile picture is a beagle who got adopted the next week after spending time with him named Art he was the most down to earth beagle i have been with at the sheltor. And If your wandering why he looks anxious in the profile picture its because he got woken up from laying on my lap so the staff lady could take a picture with me and him for the rover profile picture. I signed up to rover so that i could learn to work with some new beginner couch potato dog breeds like the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, or a Pug for 30 min drop in visists for people at their homes. I also would like to in the future work with a Golden Retriever/Labrador even though they are not complete couch potato dogs but with the right owner i've heard they can be a great beginner dog to work with for 30 min drop in visists as well. I figured that would be a great place to start since ive never done this before but if some of you experienced owners read this perhaps you could send me a message if I'm on the right track to getting started with other beginner breeds. And some of the other animal sheltors around here like the Richmond SPCA which ive been attending too for a couple of weeks now for there dog enrichment program and dog day out program they dont have many young dogs to work which is great for someone like me who is looking more for older/senior dogs that are large to work with which a couple of my pictures are prove of that. I am also learning how to properly walk dogs at the sheltors when they have more volunteer slots available since I have only walked 7 different dogs. I also dont have any experience giving medicine or CPR to dogs and would prefer a dog that does not have to be given any medication or have any major illnesses so if an emergency arises i would not have too take him to the vet unprepared until i learn how to give dogs their medicine and preform CPR on them if needed. I work part time on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays at a record store. But im flexible any day of the week to feed, give some playtime and cuddles to your dog from 11:am - 3pm and 3pm - 10pm on the weekdays and weekends. I will update this in the future if I need to change it. I have never owned any pets because the house i have been in my whole life is not a compatible place for pets, and this would be my first time caring for someone elses pet in there home. But i will listen carefully and be patient with you about asking questions for your dogs likes and dislikes, what habbits she or he makes, what feeding times work, bathroom routines, when they like to relax or cuddle, what toys do they like to play with, behavioral issues, signs of anxiety and stress and about your property layout amongst other questions.

“We were very happy with the care and communication regarding our cat Cali. She took the time to play and brush her, which I know she loves. I would recommend Jasmine as well as use her in the future.”

“Danielle did an excellent job with Otis, kept me updated with pics and videos from her visits. He's not always the quickest to warm up but seemed to take to her on her first visit! Came home to a happy, healthy boy. Would definitely book her to look after him again!”

Kyle D.

“Kay was a fantastic help and super communicative. I really appreciated all of the notes and photos taken while we were away from our two cats and never stressed once about how they were doing. I would highly recommend Kay to anyone looking for a cat sitter!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, including my own pets and my professional experience as a kennel attendant at a pet daycare. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, baths, medication, and providing care for pets with different needs and temperaments. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give your pet the same attention, patience, and love I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I plan my days around making sure each pet gets proper care, playtime, walks, and check-ins without feeling rushed. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. I pay attention to their behavior, needs, and any instructions provided to make sure they receive the best care possible.

“Annabella is great. She picked up a very short notice drop-in visit, and gave me and my wife peace of mind on our weekend trip. She followed every request I had exactly and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!”

John W.

“Madi cat sat for our three cats and did a fantastic job. We left complicated specific directions to follow and Madi follow them and even went above and beyond. We used automatic cat feeders and Madi was able to reset them when our power went off or when they got stuck. She also sent us pictures to update the conditions of the cats. We couldn’t be happier that Madi was here to cat sit our 3 cats.”

Ricky F.

“First time having Nick care for our fur babies! Nick is a great young man who clearly loves animals. He was punctual for our meet and greet as well as drop in visit to care for our pups! Would highly recommend and will definitely be calling on him for future needs!”

Lori W.

“Maggie is so kind and wonderful with my two cats. She’s so thoughtful and detail oriented and I really appreciated her help while we were away. Maggie is a great rover!”

Valerie M.

“Gabriel was awesome to work with! He was professional, punctual, and knowledgeable. Most importantly, he was great with our anxious dog and even helped care for our home by watering plants and checking the mail. I cannot recommend him enough! Anyone who books with him should consider themselves luck. We’ll definitely book with him again”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs for most of my life and already occasionally pet sit for friends and family. I used to work as a caretaker at a doggy daycare, and decided to continue pet care alongside my new job as it became such a fulfilling part of my life. I'm experienced with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and I'm experienced with a variety of other animals such as cats, fish, lizards, turtles, birds, and hermit crabs. My current work schedule follows the standard Mon-Fri 8-5, with most of my weekends and evenings open. Because of this, I'd be most suited for pets that are used to this schedule already. Otherwise, I try my best to stick to their current schedule for things like feeding and walks. I always feel comfortable meeting the parent(s) and pet before the booking. I can take care of all basic tasks and am very adaptable, patient, and reliable. I do my best to learn about each pet's little mannerisms and quirks so I can accommodate them the best I can while keeping them and your home safe. I want to make sure both you and your pet end up happy! I always ask that I'm given the pet's vet and an emergency contact as well, just in case.

About: Hi my name is Joyce and I love working with animals as I have many animals of my own. I have a pup, a baby hamster, a turtle and a school of fish. I love animals and I treat them like they are my children. My skills are walking my pup (this includes a nice walk, and picking up their feces with a plastic bag), bathing them when needed, feeding them and playing with them. I make sure my fish and turtle are fed and their tanks are cleaned and up to date. I also make sure my hamster is fed and his cage is cleaned and up to date. All other animals are treated the same with lots of loyalty, much respect and lots of love. I’m currently working part-time on the weekends, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and show them all the attention they need! I Have two friendly pups that will keep your fur baby company! But if your dog don’t get along with other dogs I can keep them separated to make your fur baby is more comfortable. I’m currently working part-time. So I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pups and give them all the attention they need!! :) :) I have a nice size back yard and I also got a pup of my own that can keep your fur baby company! She’s very playful and If needed I can easily crate her.
