“Ashley was so great! She took great care of our pup, who can be a little difficult. She kept us up to date, spent quality time with Zoey, sent several pictures and took her on several walks. We can’t thank her enough!”

I provide calm, attentive care in pets’ homes, I follow their routines closely, ensuring comfort, safely, feeding, play, and regular check-ins with each visit.

“Addison did a wonderful job! She was timely and professional. I felt comfortable having her take care of my cat. I will definitely want her to watch him again in the future.”

“Chloe took wonderful care of our kitties and was a really great communicator! I knew our cats would be shy at first, but she gained their trust very quickly! The photos she sent were super cute and reassuring for us while we were away. Highly recommend!”

“Madison was a great pet sitter for our two cats, Bear and Goose! She was incredibly responsible and attentive, making sure both cats were well-fed, entertained, and loved while we were away. She provided us with daily updates and adorable photos, which put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our time away without any worries. Madison followed our instructions to a tea to keep their routine consistent, and we returned home to two very happy and relaxed cats :) We highly recommend Madison to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“We are nervous dog parents and Sarah went above and beyond to ensure both our puppies and my husband and I were comfortable while away from them! Cannot recommend her highly enough. She is very knowledgeable and won over our most particular girl with her calm and warm presence.”

Becca K.

“Ally is great - super communicative and clearly took great care of the pup. She filled up puzzle treats every visit (a must for getting puppy to eat) and was prompt and present for every walk. My old girl has some specific health concerns and Ally was great with medication schedules and sharing out observations. Over and above - we love Ally!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old and have years of hands on experience caring for animals. I currently work at a kennel where I care for all kinds of dogs, with specialized experience in administering medication, cleaning and bathing, and safe, confident handling. In addition to dogs and cats, I also have experience caring for exotic pets, including birds and reptiles. I am currently working part-time, so I am available to drop in during most hours every day of the week. My flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate last-minute requests, midday walks, or specific feeding times to ensure your pet stays perfectly on track with their usual routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress free. I make sure all feeding, walks, playtime, and litter box or cleanup needs are handled carefully, and I closely monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health. I also administer medications when needed and keep the home clean and secure, providing updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

About: I have grown up with 3 of my own dogs (Australian cattle dog, lab, and our lovely mutt). I’ve also for the past few years have been dog sitting for friends and family of all different breeds, sizes, and ages! I currently work part-time and am studying international social justice at VCU! I have a LOT of free time now that school is out and can’t wait to spend time playing with your fur babies :) Whether it’s staying over at mine or just going for walks I will ensure that your baby is fully loved and taken care of. We live by several parks and the James river that ensure a good time! Also a pup cup every now and then is always a fun treat after a long walk!

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life, always living in a home with three or more dogs and at least two cats. At one point, my family also bred Great Danes, which gave me experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and needs. Because of this background, I am very compassionate toward animals and am eager to become more involved in working with them. Im looking to save money for college so as much work as possible is helpful! I will be communicative and let you know if it fits my schedule! at home, I have a large front yard as well as a fenced in back yard. I have 3 dogs however I would more than likely keep your pet away from my animals just to be safe and respectful. I will be able to go on long walks with your animals and give them a great experience!

“As any viewer of Caroline W.'s reviews will see, I'm truly pleased to report she is as fantastic as they read. I could write paragraphs, but I'll highlight what really underscores her excellence. 1. Diligent and Prompt -- Caroline had reached out to me prior to our meet-and-greet and the final key pick-up and drop-offs to check-in and confirm times : this was prior to me doing so and reaching out to her. I had even expressed how this was really a pleasant surprise, and that it spoke volumes of her attention to detail; conversely, her promptness made *me feel like I was just the opposite and not paying close attention! That hasn't happened often in past experiences with many services, so Caroline really made sure we were aligned with appointments for key checkpoints in our set-up and return processes. In addition to her diligence, her promptness was actually mind-boggling. My wife and I were away on vacation, and it was no less than perfect clockwork where I'd see her check-ins literally *on the dot* for the times in the mornings and late afternoons for her visits, dead on the hour: we're not talking 2, 3, 4 minutes late, but perfection nearly every single time, with maybe one starting a *minute after the agreed time? It's ridiculous I'm even writing that last point, but to show how rigorous her punctuality is, it bears mention that Caroline was *this precise to showing up on time, every time, and 100% of the time gave her full allotted visit, with some an extra couple of minutes. Incredibly impressive. 2. Wonderful interactions with our cat -- we were able to see through our home's Ring system Caroline greeting our cat for every visit, especially as the days of our vacation wore on. The fact that Caroline would greet our cat with a clear and welcoming tone and message fit precisely how my wife and I interact with her (our cat), and just hearing the conversations between Caroline and our cat was very comforting: no doubt this "fitting into our patterns" helped with our cat's loneliness and coping with our absence, and that included spending focused time giving her simple company. Fantastic job! And lastly, 3. Being amenable to modifications and a couple of simple related tasks: Caroline was able to care for our "cat grass" and keep it thriving while we were gone, lavishing feedings to our cat when desired (most every visit); she also was able to follow our instructions by text message on how to use our "treat puzzle", since our cat was insistent on "playing it", and I know doing this gave a lot of comfort (and more treats) to our cat, and made my wife and I feel truly glad that Caroline was able to add this adjustment and make our cat feel like things were still as normal as they could be in our absence. With that, I give Caroline my highest recommendation, and can't express enough the value in having her as a drop-in sitter for our cat.”
