Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Randolph, Richmond, VA

“Marge was so great! She checked in with me while she was at our house to make sure that she did everything that was needed. I really appreciated the extra level of care.”

Vanessa S.

“Kade has been the absolute best for us! Prompt with responses and always sends amazing check-in photos! Will always book with them and recommend to anyone! Thank you so much, Kade!!”

Jorge P.

“Thane was so great with my slightly psychotic and very special needs dog (old and with a bite history). They were so patient with my dog's stubbornness and various quirks and also successfully managed my cats, who are always trying to get out the door. There were no issues and I really believe it was the best possible experience for all my pets.”

Julie S.

“Absolutely wonderful with my girl! My timid pup warmed right up to her, which usually does NOT happen so quickly, and loved the company. Kyla was responsive, communicative and was really great working with. Will definitely book with her again!”

Laney E.

“Thank you so much - Lila did an amazing job with my reactive dog who was being particularly difficult! I sincerely appreciate the patience, kindness, great communication and detailed notes. Thank you!!”

Hillary K.

“Jeff did a great job watching my two cats, making sure they got their food, meds, and lots of snuggle time or just time with some company. He was very responsive, was respectful of all my requests - including a bit of a crazy food/med routine - and I could tell my cats really bonded with him and were happy to see him. It's always such a relief knowing your pets are being well cared for while you're away!”

Leora C.

“Katherine is the best. She has helped us with our cat, mail, packages, and unexpected needs. She is very kind and we feel so lucky to have found her.”

Rachel M.

“Cat was a dream to work with. Super communicative, and spent a lot of time with our dog at each check in! After our usual sitter moved away I was nervous about finding someone new but I was immediately relieved by Cat’s dedication and her obvious love for dogs. Her notes after each check-In made me chuckle too. I think we found our new regular sitter!”

C R.

“Excellent visits! Great communication, sent lots of photos and very interactive with our cats. Flexible with providing care and changing up day to day routine. Absolutely perfect pet sitting experience!”

Alexandra E.

“Kristen is a gem of a person and so attentive to our dog, Skye. She sends lots of updates and pictures and is also very funny. She is great to work with and I totally trust her with our furbaby.”

Barbara B.

“Liz was incredible with our older dog. She was always there on time, even early during his morning visits. She brought treats and sent so many adorable photos of how well he was doing while we were away. I would absolutely use Liz again in the future. What a gem!”

Angela N.

“Rachel was a godsend! She was sooo good with my 2 babies (cats) she automatically connected with my male cat, my female is very skittish, but Rachel knew what she needed to, T L C❤️ My plans, if she is still interested in next year, I would love for her to be able to come visit with my cats for a week again”

Novalee W.

“Elijah was very reliable and did a fantastic job of communicating from the first time I reached out to him about sitting. He took lots of photos and wrote notes that made it clear exactly how our cats were doing while we were away. Will definitely ask him to watch them again!”

About: I'm officially back and excited to work with new clients! What really sets me apart is my genuine love for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Through my volunteer work with rescue organizations, humane societies, and wildlife rehabilitation centers, I've learned to connect with pets who might be shy, anxious, or just need a little extra patience. I'm especially comfortable with senior pet care (thanks to my own elderly cats), medication administration, and working with special needs animals. My late staffie rescue taught me that the most misunderstood dogs often make the most loyal companions, so I have a real soft spot for bully breeds and "difficult" cases. I've also got experience with puppy energy management – I can tire out even the most determined zoomie sessions! Friends joke that I'm a "cat whisperer," though I'll admit one particularly stubborn feline took me 15 years to win over. Whether your pet needs gentle senior care, high-energy adventures, or just someone who won't blink at their quirky habits, I'm here for it. No creature is too unusual – I've cared for everything from traditional pets to more exotic companions! After leaving academia to pursue my passion for writing and art, I've discovered the joy of a flexible schedule. I spend most of my time outdoors anyway (turns out fresh air is much better for creativity than stuffy lecture halls), so having some four-legged companions along for the adventure sounds like a no-brainer. Plus, I've learned that pet adventures are the perfect antidote to writer's block. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe and loved while you're away. I'm experienced with administering medications, maintaining routines, and reading those subtle pet signals that tell you when something's not quite right. My own little crew includes two senior cats (14 and 17) and a wonderfully patient yellow lab who's basically a gentleman and a scholar. One of my cats has special needs, so I'm comfortable with medical care and know how important consistency is for our furry family members.

“Sophie was amazing with my cat, Lemon. She was on-time every single day, sent detailed updates with every check-in, and provided tons of awesome pictures. Thank you, Sophie!!”

Lindsey A.

“Makenzie did an amazing job looking after our two cats! One of them is quite shy and the other was dealing with a health issue while we were away, but she handled them perfectly and gave us helpful updates and pics along the way. Will definitely book her again in the future!”

Nathan S.

“Erin was terrific! She set up a time to meet my dog beforehand which I really appreciated. She was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. My pup seemed quite happy with her visit. :)”

Amanda T.

“Daniel was great! He went above and beyond to take care of Lainey while I was gone. Taking care of her, cleaning up after her, and making sure she felt safe and cared for while staying home alone for the week. He was even nice enough to drop off some cookies for me and my girlfriend on his last visit. An extremely nice gesture, having known we both contracted Covid during our trip (it’s the little things 🙂). I will definitely request service from him again if he’s available in the future and strongly recommended others do the same. 10/10 dog sitting!”

Paul L.

“I reached out to Julia on very short notice and she was willing to come over and drop in on Skyler and feed him dinner. What a relief! As always, she provided photos of her visit and Skyler was well taken care of.”

Teresa J.

“Madison was very professional and enthusiastic with my two boys. She took care of them upon agreement, and was on time.”
