Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Reedy Creek, Richmond, VA

“My pets keep asking me to go out of town so they can hang out with their favorite Human again. Very professional, prompt communication, takes adorable pet pictures, did a great job. Definitely going to be a repeat customer.”

“Rachel H is an outstanding sitter for my pups. She takes such great care of the babies and they love her. I trust Rachel H in my home and taking care of my babies.”

Kim M.

“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!”

“Kyla did a great job looking after my cats. It was easy to set things up, she arrived as scheduled, communicated well throughout, and my cats liked her too.”

Coby H.

“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!”

“Highly recommend Elizabeth! She was great with Huey and sent me updates and photos everyday :) Huey was so happy when I came home, and I know that's because he had a great time with his new friend, haha! Would use her again, for sure.”

Emilie W.

“Maria did a wonderful job taking care of our sweet old man. She gave him lots of love and took care of his meds and dinner with zero issues! She was right on time, sent pictures every day, and always stayed the full hour. Cannot recommend her highly enough!!!”

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 did a great job taking care of our kitties! She sent lots of photos and we felt better leaving them while we were on vacation knowing she was there.”

“Jordan is quite possibly the best pet sitter ever. My cats are always so calm when I come home; you can tell she really spends time with them and cares for them. We always use her whenever we’re out of town”

Stefanie B.

“Kay stepped up when my usual cat sitter cancelled before the Christmas break and really put all of my worries at ease. She is a phenomenally attuned cat sitter and so communicative for any needs she had. Thank you, Kay! Couldn’t have enjoyed my vacation away without you!”

Annabelle G.

“Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!”

La'Shanta J.

“As always Ana did an amazing job! She is my go to person for caring for my kitties. She is great at communicating and keeps my mind at ease while I’m away. Thank you so much!”

About: Hi, I'm Miki! I've had dogs my whole life, and adopted one of my very own (Scout) about 4 years ago! With several years of personal and professional experience, I'm confident I can provide a happy and safe space for your pet. :) As a dog owner, I know how hard it can be to find someone you trust with your pet, and my goal is to give my client's peace of mind knowing that their babies are being cared for just as I would my own dog! At the moment, I only host one dog at a time to make sure they get my full attention (or two from the same household). I have a ton of experience and knowledge with dogs, but particularly anxious/reactive dogs and am always happy to accommodate any special needs/requests. I work from home a few days a week and have an open weekend schedule, so Scout and I would love having another friend around to keep us company! We typically go on a minimum of 3 walks a day (morning, afternoon and night) for anywhere from 20 minutes- 1+ hours. Between walks, I have plenty of toys and mentally stimulating gadgets that Scout would be happy to share. :) While I don't have a yard, my neighborhood is the perfect dog-friendly spot with lots of trails, streams and parks! If your dog is hanging with us, you can expect an itinerary full of very dog centered activities (as usual) haha. I'm experienced working with low and high energy dogs and more than happy to follow your dogs typical schedule- whatever that may be! To maintain safe and calm environment for all pets, I do require that dogs are crate trained and feel comfortable being crated if I need to leave the house for a short time.

“Anna continues to be a reliable and patient professional with my dog! I’m so grateful I can work my 10+ hour shift without worrying about him at home knowing that Anna is dropping in to walk and care for him. Thanks, Anna!!”

“Nicole was able to help me pretty last minute with checking on my pup, super communicative and was super great with Elvis. Thank you so much !”

About: I treat each pet as an individual first, catering to their specific needs. I provide care, attention, and of course, love as if they were my own friends, hoping that they will be soon. Rover is my current focus; your pet will receive as much attention as they need. With a flexible schedule, I can come to you or have them come to me. There's a large unfenced back yard, quick access to the river, and nature walks on Belle Isle. I provide a clean and well thermoregulated house for the hot summer months, with a room dedicated just for the pets, though not restricting them to the room.

About: I have experience with large dogs (85lbs+) to small dogs (10lbs-), Cats & kittens, and senior animals. Animals in recovery. Reptiles, rodents to fish. Any animal you name it!! I’m a very active person and love being outdoors, would love to have a cutie fur buddy to join me and explore RVA! Would love to care for yours like my own <3 I go on daily walks and live very very close to a huge public park! I’m able to do daily drop ins, over night stays or whatever your needs may be!

About: I'm a professional dog trainer, and I've been working with animals professionally for over 10 years, and I have had dogs and cats in my family ever since I was born, and grew up training and walking them. I have had the pleasure of having two golden retrievers, a border collie, and now I have a 4 year old black lab named Rosie, and tortoiseshell cat who acts like a dog. Even though I train dogs and their humans, I walk dogs as supplemental income, and I would love to meet your little (or big) bundles of joy! I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule varies. But I am typically available on Mondays and Thursdays, but I will update my schedule weekly or monthly to reflect what my schedule really looks like. I have the experience to exercise dogs who are a little more on the high-energy side, or dogs who just want to sniff everything outside for a while and then get some pets and snuggles.
