House Sitting in Richmond

“We are visiting from out of town and needed a sitter last minute. We have two rescue dogs who are sweet dogs but don’t warm up to strangers quickly. After reading Zoe’s profile and knowing her exposure to dogs of many temperaments, we felt confident that she’d be a good sitter. She absolutely was. She responded promptly to the request, arrived on time, and sent an update with photo. We would definitely love to have her sit our pups again. If pups are happy, so are we!”

“Victoria took great care of my pup!”

“Linda was wonderful. We recently moved to the area and were concerned about finding someone to house/pet sit for us. She was pro-active, responsible, professional and calm. She understood our senior citizen pets and took loving care of them. She kept us updated each day with photos and information. We feel lucky to have found her on Rover and had no worries about being away.”

“Sabrina was perfect - took great care of our kitty and house! Hope to have her again.”

“Anna is a reliable pet sitter. All three of our furry family members are relaxed and happy when we return, especially our golden retriever who enjoys her walks and outings with Anna.”

“Taelyr has watched my dog Holly many times and she loves her very much. There is never any concern I have when I have to go out of town that Holly won’t be cared for!!”

About: I am currently a student at New England Tech in the Veterinary Technician program. I’ve worked at Ocean State Veterinary Specialists as a technician assistant for a year now. I’ve owned dogs for as long as I can remember. I have raised puppies and said goodbye to them as seniors. I know how to give medications safely and correctly if needed. I know how to handle crazy puppies and couch potato seniors. I love all types of dogs equally and have a deep passion of working with them. I am currently a college student and working part time at an emergency animal hospital. I do have multiple hours in between classes and work on most days to take care of your pets. I also can do homework from anywhere so that makes my schedule more flexible. I wouldn’t be able to have animals come to my house because I do have animals of my own but I would be glad to go to your house and take care of your pets. I follow directions easily and ask questions if i’m not sure about something. Feeding and walking schedules are easy for me to follow no matter how complicated you might think it is. I can give medication as needed and I have many tricks up my sleeve to get them to take them without fear. I work at an emergency hospital so IF an emergency ever occurs I know exactly what to do and where to go.

“Reaghan was a great pet sitter. Very attentive…sent lots of pictures. My joise was in order & pets looked happy when I got home. I will be using her again.”

“Cathy did a great job watching our dog in our home for 9 nights! She followed all the instructions and reached out when necessary. I'll definitely try to book her again.”

“Thank you Claire for watching Enzo while we were away! Claire stayed at our home for the week. She was here and graciously cared for our dog. She even vacuumed the house to clean up after him when he got messy. Claire was professional and trustworthy. Thank you!!!”

“There are very few people I would trust more than Clara to take care of my pet. Over the years she has taken care of our dogs on several occasions and became just as much of a family member to them as my wife and I. Most importantly, she truly loved them as if they were her own. Clara has a huge heart, and that immediately comes across when you see her with an animal.”

“I have known Lori for a little over 3 years now, and within that time, she has become a second mom to me. She is caring, loving, and protective in the best way, to not only me and her son, but her wonderful husky and bunny bun. She has watched my boy Rugs a couple times in the past and he was always his normal happy healthy tail-wagging self when I picked him up. I trust her with ALL my future pets and hopefully one day my future children…her grandchildren 🙃❤️”

“She is amazing with my dog. I have a big husky and he loves her. She is a very good caregiver. If she can handle him she can handle almost any dog”

“Sue took great care of my senior dog (April) and senior cat (Cleo). She gave April a special treat by giving her a ride in her convertible (yes, she confirmed that a ride was ok), and then let her run around her fenced yard. She sent lots of pictures and was very responsive while I was away. I know that April & Cleo look forward to Sue’s next visit. ?”

“Our two huskies are special needs (epileptic) and one still had cone on from surgery and Emily took great care of them for two weeks. She stayed at the house with them making sure they stayed on their regular happy schedules. I’m sure they will miss her!”

“Emily stayed with our girls for the weekend and they all had a great time. They aren’t the easiest pups being huskies with epilepsy and she was attentive and patient with them. I’m sure they will be excited to have her back soon! Thanks Emily!!”

“Alaina is a wonderful, kind, trustworthy young woman who cared for our two cats while my wife and I were away. She stayed overnights in our home so that the cats had company and thus did more than just feed them and clean litter boxes on short visits. That was important to us. We have already scheduled her for several weeks this summer when we are traveling abroad.”

“Miss Viola is great with my little guy even though he is very high energy and often has his own mind about things. She not only got everything done on time with no problems for a very fair rate, but I could tell the quality time and socialization made a big difference for him when I got home! Highly recommended!”

“Our pups love Shannon. She treated them so well! Took them on outings everyday, brushed them, gave them kisses and cuddled on the couch. Shannon is a great communicator, reaching out every day with updates and photos like I requested. I was confident in her abilities and didn't worry about the girls while we were away for over a week! She's reliable, respectful, considerate, very capable, and kind. And she left the house in perfect condition. I probably shouldn't give her such high praise because I want her all to ourselves :-)”

“Ali is a dog lover through and through. Nothing puts a smile on her face like a happy dog, and she is both comfortable and caring around dogs of all sizes. You would be extremely lucky to have her give your best friend a walk!”
