About: I’ve always enjoyed caring for dogs and have experience taking care of my own as well as helping with others. In a effort to getting outside, staying active, and working toward my own fitness goals. I figured, why not accomplish two things at once?! Let me help you feel confident your pup or pups are cared for while getting some extra steps in myself! I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your dog with the same care I’d want for my own. Please reach out if my schedule is blocked we maybe able to work something out. I currently work full time in Richmond however I am in the office 2-3 days a week. Depending on those days, I can do lunch drop ins, however morning and evenings I am absolutely available. I am also in school so most weekends I am in the area! I am happy to do whatever is needed to care for your pet. If there are additional needs outside walking and feeding the dog please let me know. I am happy to confirm what I am comfortable doing.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for a few years now, and what sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for all kinds of animals, and my determination to provide a safe, loving, and harm-free environment for your pets.

I'm not much of a runner, but I can run for a little and can walk for miles. I don't mind doing some grooming if you need additional help with that while you're away.

About: My boy kitty passed away last year at 14 years old. He became very sick in his last 2 years so his care required daily shots, weekly vet visits. I became very proficient in giving pills by mouth as well. He was big and strong and didn’t like the vet or car rides so i learned how to best manage a very scared kitty. My mom had a senior dog who developed diabetes so I cared for him in my home for the last few years of his life. I gave him insulin shots twice a day and performed his medical care. I gave him meds by mouth and performed other care duties. I work part-time and am in school at ODU online so my hours are flexible. I live in the Richmond area and service a fairly wide range as I have my own reliable transportation. I prefer to pet-sit in the clients home as I have a cat myself. My grandma rescued hunting dogs, particularly hounds and beagles, when I was growing up, so I am safety minded when it comes to pets, especially ones who get scared easily.
