“Cathy did a fantastic job of taking care of my cats. She is very kind and genuinely cares about them. She even took my senior guy to the vet to get subcutaneous fluids, which he needs to have about twice a week. Communication was excellent, and she sent cute pictures of my guys. I am confident that they are in good hands with Cathy!”
“We could not have been happier with the care Allyson provided to our cat Harry this week. Allyson sent detailed updates with photos for each visit (we had her visit twice daily while we were gone). She bonded really well with our kitty. She also appropriately clarified questions regarding care for his chronically blocked tear duct. We will for sure be booking her again. Highly recommend!!”
“Farnaz is absolutely wonderful. She took great care of my 3 cats while I was out of town. She was punctual and patient with my shy babies. She made sure Chasie took his medicine and was able to pet Gracie who others have had a hard time finding. She was tidy, cleaned up messes and brought in packages. Her communication and updates were perfect, putting my mind at ease. I highly recommend her for your pets and we will be booking again soon.”
About: I've owned dogs, cats & horses my entire life. I currently have 2 rescue dogs, 2 cats and a horse that are all treated like human children. I'm familiar with both young and elderly animals that require medical assistance. I work from home in Glen Allen. I have a flexible schedule and can check on your pet during the day and before/after work. I am comfortable with walking all dogs, crating dogs, working on commands and especially providing love and treats if desired! Happy to also prepare lick mats or other stimulation while you're away.
About: I love dogs as I’ve had many throughout my childhood and adulthood. My family has always been a big pet family and so I completely understand the love and attention pets need and deserve. After all, they are an important part of our lives! I am currently a senior in college, and while I wished I had a pet, I do not have one yet. Back home I have a dog and caring for her is a daily activity that I love to do. I know pets are caring, sensitive beings and need lots of attention and love! In my house, I help with feeding, walking, playing, and overall petting and loving on our dog. I love to walk my dog at home and play with her using her favorite toys. I can bring these skills to help care for your pet as well.
“Vanessa was wonderful! She took great care of our cats (and hummingbirds) and our house. She was in constant contact letting us know how our girls were doing and sent plenty of pictures which we loved. We will definitely reach out to her again when we need her services”
About: As the owner of high energy pets, I am an expert at walks and enrichment. I love animals and am often the first person my friends and family ask to watch their pets when they go out of town. I have a flexible schedule and can be available to care for your pets! On weekends, I am available for petting sitting or long walkies. I have a fenced yard and a neighborhood that is good for walks. I have two pets of my own, a service dog dropout and a cat that likes dogs more than people. I am also willing to drive to your home to care for your pets.
“My cat Charlie was in the best hands! She was punctual, professional, communicative, and attentive. She went above and beyond to make sure Charlie got the best possible care. During my week away from home I trusted that my pet was being cared for and I didn’t have to worry one bit. Would absolutely book again and recommend to friends!”
“Ciarra took such wonderful care of our cats while we were away. One of our cats has diabetes so it was critical we found someone with experience administering insulin shots. She took extra time to pet them and play with them and gave us thorough updates. I will definitely book her in the future and highly recommend her.”
About: Hi there! My name is Genevieve! I worked at the Richmond SPCA for 4 years. My two pitties at home (Nola and Brick) are leash reactive. With my own dogs and experience of working at an animal shelter I’ve seen almost everything. I have experience with medication administration- injectable, sub q fluids, and oral. I also have experience with behaviors like reactivity, resource guarding, mouthiness, fearfulness, ect. I take a fear free, positive reinforcement approach. My goal is to make sure your pets needs are being met so they feel safe and you feel comfortable and at ease. I have experience with special needs cats as well! I quit my job and went back to school! I can care for your pets before 9:00 am and after 11 am Monday and Wednesday-Friday. I can care for your pet on Tuesdays from 1 pm onwards. I have experience with homes without backyards and am willing to do a walk around the block or whatever it might be for a quick potty break. I always go outside to my fenced in backyard with my dogs to make sure everyone is safe and will do so with yours. Your cats will be kept strictly indoors!
About: I’ve had pets nearly my whole life and have been known to struggle to walk past an animal in need. This means rescuing an injured squirrel, a Cooper’s hawk, an opossum, and more, going the extra mile even when it was deeply inconvenient for me to do so. I also grew up attending zoo camp and then volunteering at a zoo from age 5 to 14, caring for a wide range of animals. I have worked with high energy pitties, a blind and anxious German shepherd, birds, cuddly kitties, fearful kitties, diabetic kitties, rabbits, and others. I have administered shots, IVs, medications, eye drops, and more. I am persistent and typically can win over even the shyest and most anxious fur baby. I have a genuine love for caring for pets and would be honored to care for yours! I am currently carefully thinking about my next full time role and working part time. My partner is an immigrant seeking employment during a time when that is extremely difficult due to the political situation. Any supplemental income is incredibly helpful for me as we navigate. I have a reliable vehicle, plenty of time to play with your pets, and love to love on them. I have a reliable car and I keep my word. I am communicative, honest, and truly love animals. I take direction well and understand that every pet has their specific needs. I don’t cut corners and do my best to provide top notch care, always.
About: I have personal experience taking care of (walking, bathing, feeding, enrichment, training) all animals and love to do it. Professionally, I’ve worked at doggy daycares, other dog-walking and pet-sitting apps, and volunteered to assist with puppy births. My experience is mostly with dogs; however, I have taken care of cats and more! I work a full-time job, but my hours are flexible which means I have days I am in-office or at home and I do not work weekends. It is very easy for me to leave work to provide pet care and return later that day or make-up hours later in the week. I am very gentle with animals and the safety of pets and those around them comes first - always. I plan to keep the pet comfortable and enriched. It is very easy to follow a schedule and routine for medications, bathroom breaks, bedtimes, and playtime. I pay close attention to details and take the time to learn pet behaviors to ensure they get the best care.
“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.”
About: I have had dogs, cats, rats, birds, etc. my entire life and there is not a critter in the world I don’t want to snuggle. No fear of reptiles, rodents, or insects either. I am working part time and am in self paced school to further my career so I have to plenty of time to give proper love and attention to your pet(s). I currently don’t provide pet sitting in my own home due to having two elderly cats with medical issues. They need calm, quiet, and a predictable schedule.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Poindexters
I had a great experience! Lauren took wonderful care of Griffin, and I really appreciated knowing they were in good hands while I was away. Communication was great, and I felt comfortable and at ease throughout our getaway. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. I would definitely book with them again!
Krystal was everything we could have hoped for in a care giver for our cat Bailey. She sent pictures everyday and obviously made friends with Bailey while we were away. Bailey was very content and in great shape when we returned. We will definitely be asking her to be our pet sitter in the future.
Isabella was amazing! She was great at keeping informed not only about my fur baby but to what was happening at my home. She cared for my baby just like I would have. I was very comfortable with leaving her in charge of my baby. Would bring her back every time!
Randi went above and beyond to make sure our animals were taken care of. She even voluntarily took home a chick that could not walk and fixed it's leg so it can get around on its own now. She also watered our plants and brought in mail while we were gone. She seems to know a lot about dogs and is a wealth of info on chickens, as well. Some of my chickens were not doing so well and thanks to her advice, they are looking healthier. I'd highly recommend her.
