House Sitting in Richmond

About: I don’t have my own pet anymore as he passed from old age. I like to take care of other people’s pets when they are on vacation and care for them with as much love as if they were my own. I will stay at your home if needed , schedule potty break services as well. I work at an elementary school so let out before I go to work and right after, evenings and bed time. I will take care of pets in clients home with care plan that fits the pets needs. Give them plenty of attention and care to take away any worries when you are away.

“We don’t like to leave our boy home alone if we’re going to be gone longer than a couple hours. Palma graciously came and hung out with him at our house, and everything worked out great! Thank you!!”

About: Hello my name is Sophia! I have been taking care of my own pets for my whole life, not just cats and dogs. I am a full time college student that loves animals. I am a full time college student living at home I am available for visits in the mornings, some afternoons and always night. Though my schedule is busy I am always flexible. In my home, I provide a comfortable and pet-friendly environment for your furry friends. They will have their designated space, regular walks, playtime, and personalized care routines. In your home, I adapt to your pet's familiar surroundings, maintaining their routines, feeding schedules, and ensuring they receive the attention and love they need. My approach is flexible and tailored to meet the unique needs of each pet and client I serve.

“Madonna was fantastic.”

“I cannot thank Lucas enough. Far exceeded my expectations, we will 100% be a repeat customer. Two-week trip, our anxious dog loved Lucas and clearly felt safe amd cared for. Detailed updates, even cleaned up the house (and the sheets on the bed he used) before we returned! Highest recommendation”

“Alina is so kind, grounded and in tune with Chester . She was punctual, reliable , professional and I’d love to have her back.”

Sam W.

“Amaya was absolutely fantastic. She was communicative, went out of her way to make our animals happy and comfy while we were gone, and left the house clean. We got lots of photos and videos of our pets during our trip, and she paid special attention to make sure one of our animals with some health issues was well taken care of. We will definitely book her again. We are more satisfied with her as a house sitter than any other we have found in our area.”

“Gabriela was felxible and accommodating in taking care of our girls on a very short notice request. Thank you!”

About: I have and do care for my dog and families dogs over long periods of time; including family friends dogs with medical needs at their own homes overnight I am able to check on animals before and after work shifts, and with ample advance i can arrange my work schedule to meet the needs of dogs routines and their owners I myself have my dog mostly kept indoors, and let outside on a leash within a large backyard. Family friends dogs were watched heavily and let out with supervision, even in large fenced in yards

“Michaela was wonderful! She gave multiple updates and pictures everyday while we were away! We will definitely be using her again the next time we go out of town!”

Shayne G.

“Stephanie and Allie are fantastic! Our naturally timid dog settled right in with them, and they took great care of our house too. They are also very communicative, professional, and nice. Would definitely book again!”

Josh M.

“We have two rescues who don’t warm up to strangers right away. This was the first time that Emily dog sat them; they seemed comfortable upon meeting her (no barks!). The update we got that they took treats from her and were sleeping only confirmed that they felt at ease. Grateful that Emily took good care of our pups and for the pups’ approvals. We’d definitely trust our pups with her again.”

“Jessie was beyond phenomenal with all of my fur babies! She went above and beyond from the very start, coming by for a meet and greet before our overnight stay to make sure everyone felt comfortable. When one of our cats behaved differently than expected, she handled the situation with such professionalism and care, creating a safe and calm environment for everyone. Throughout the stay, Jessie kept me completely at ease with her frequent updates and adorable pictures. Because of her, I was able to truly relax and enjoy my night away knowing my kids were in the best hands. I can’t wait to work with Jessie again in the future. If you’re looking for a sitter who is not only loving but also incredibly reliable, she’s the one!”

About: Hello! My preferred names to go by is Max as you might see in my testimonials! I volunteered at an animal sanctuary that had chickens, geese, swans, goats, horses, & alpacas. I have experience in dog sitting & grooming every kind of breed. I took care of ferrets as well! Cute little guys running through tubes. I have a ton of experience cat sitting as well. I even briefly worked at a cat cafe! I also have 2 of my own. Litter boxes don’t scare me! I would never force any kind interactions based off of any of the animals behaviors, unless if they would want that! I’m all about approaching with love, patience, & playfulness! I currently have open availability. I don’t have proper space to board your animals at my house but I don’t mind traveling to yours at all. It all depends on the pet, but I would approach first with a hand sniff & see if they are okay with me petting them. I also think it’s a really great idea to do a practice trial run with the owner there at first so they can meet me & warm up to me!

“Mike is the absolute best dog sitter you will find! He’s so attentive and sent so many updates/pictures/videos, I knew my dog was having the time of her life with him!! He will be my first go to when Lola needs a sitter from now on, he’s incredible!!”

Madeleine S.

“Sara took great care of our two labs! She communicated well throughout our trip including updates and pics. We will definitely request her for any other trips we plan.”

About: I love all animals more than I can even grasp, and nothing is too big of an ask for them. I’m a larger man so if they need to be picked up to be brought outside or anything were I would have to go the extra mile for them, I gladly will. My schedule isn’t the hardest to work around so you let me know what works best for you and I’ll handle the rest!! I’m mainly free during the week but working weekends doesn’t scare me. Ill make sure your pet gets more then enough play time, nothing is worse then having energy you can’t do anything with! Long walks don’t bother me at all and if your pet has toys I’ll find there favorite one!

“Olivia did a great job with our dog Raven while we were away for a night. Thank you!”

About: Old school reliable guy that has owned pets for over 6 years. I have 3 cats and a senior dog at home. I am very considerate of other people's animals. I have pet sat for family members and never had issues. I work full time as a firefighter which consists of a rotating schedule. My current schedule allows time to be home for my animals and if needed other people's as well. I understand life can be hectic but pets are just as important cuz they our are family. I have plenty of room on my profile my dog to walk around and do her thing. My cats are happy with sleeping eating and attention. They are low maintenance for sure. During winter you can find them all gathered on the heated blanket on the bed or couch.
