Pet Sitting Richmond

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for many years and grew up with dogs and have a dog. I treat them as my own and am a helicopter mom when it comes to looking out for them every step of the way. I communicate and give all the updates and make sure your furbabies are all set and good before I leave for my next walk. Safety and care is my number one priority. I’m currently available on Friday's but hoping to be available Monday to Friday. I’m currently working but looking to making walking a full time job. I make sure each dog I visit has a good walk and does their business. Seeing they have enough water before I go or if they need breakfast or lunch. I give them lots of cuddles and go by their pace on what they need.

“Andrea was terrific! If I need someone to watch Ruthie again, I will surely ask for her. Got lots of photos and she took care of my aging girl so well! Very good communication and lots of notifications if there were hiccups or problems. Very impressed!”

About: I’ve been caring for and walking dogs in my neighborhood for many years and have always loved being around animals. I’ve had two dogs of my own over the years, so I understand how important it is to give pets plenty of attention, care, and love. Dogs are definitely my favorite animals, and I truly enjoy spending time with furry friends! I’m currently working part time as a server. I am available all day sunday and mondays and all mornings and most nights. I’m very flexible! I have a very nice neighborhood and a friendly dog who loves other puppies. and a very friendly kitty that stays out of the way when needed.

About: Grew up with a senior dog as well as sitting for all of my neighbors. Experience with all equipment (harnesses, leaders, muzzles, etc.) Available 24/7 for whatever care you need, want to make everyone happy and comfortable! :) I just graduated from Fordham in May and am fully remote for my internship this summer, so I am around all the time for whatever needs you and your family might have! When house sitting, I can stay in your home full-time if necessary to keep your dog's routine as normal as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walk schedule, and any specific instructions you leave, I believe consistency is key to keeping dogs calm and comfortable while you're away. I'm attentive to your dog's behavior and energy levels throughout the day, and I make sure they're getting enough activity, stimulation, and rest. I'm comfortable with all walking equipment including harnesses, gentle leaders, and muzzles, and always keep dogs secure on leash. I treat your home with the same respect I'd want for my own. I send regular photo updates throughout the stay so you're never left wondering how your pup is doing. I'm happy to accommodate any special needs, medications, dietary restrictions, or quirks — just let me know what your dog needs and I'll make it happen.

“Heather was wonderful! She came out and met Sampson before our planned services and her “check-in” seems to have gone off without a hitch. Heather’s updates were thorough and timely!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and have taken care of friends and neighbors pets for many years. I am very punctual and always make sure your pets receive the best care, and lots of love and cuddles. I am currently UVM nursing alum with lots of free time on my hands this summer to walk, feed, play with, and let out pets. My availability should be accurate, but sometimes changes. I always treat other’s homes with care, and ensure to leave them better then I found them. I make a point to ensure every environment is safe and comfortable for pets. Safety is always my number one priority, and I can ensure all pets are safe while under my care.

“Emily is amazing with our two cats; one spicy senior and a big boy who misses his mom. In the past I have worried about leaving them when we travel but now that Emily watches them, I know they're getting the very best care. She goes above and beyond to give them the attention they need while we're away and getting her daily reports and photos is so reassuring! Thanks so much Emily! 😸😻”

About: Hey, I’m Lucas! I’m from South Kingstown, RI, and I’ve been around animals my whole life. Right now, I live with two dogs, two cats, guinea pigs, and even some reptiles, so I’m pretty used to taking care of a variety of pets. Currently, I’m a full-time security guard supervisor and a full-time student at URI. While my schedule is busy, Rover allows me to combine my love for animals with the flexibility I need to support myself through college. I’m here to do what I love: care for pets, ensuring they feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s walking dogs, playing with cats, or just making sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away, I’m here to help. I’ve had pets all my life, so I understand how important it is for them to get attention and care. I’d love to meet your furry (or scaly) friends and make sure they’re happy while you’re out! I am a full time security guard and student at URI but I can house/pet sit any night from 8pm-8am. I am also happy to do stop ins, and walks in the mornings. I am very experienced with a lot of animals, and all at once. If you need someone who genuinely cares about your babies I’m your guy!!

About: I understand the loving bond between pets and owners as I have cared for and had pets most of my life. I am a trustworthy caring person who will care for yours just as my own. I currently work part time in the afternoon so morning and days fit into my schedule. If needed, I can also be available Sunday afternoons. I am a communicative, reliable and responsible person who will give your pet the care that they need. Any specific routine that your pet has will be accommodated for.

“Wendy was very communicative, prompt, and followed all of the instructions perfectly! The pups told me she was super nice to them too! Will definitely ask her to watch them again in the future.”

“Mike is the best and I couldn’t recommend him enough! With two pretty high-energy huskies and specific requests around the house, Mike has always made my pups a top priority and has gone above and beyond to make me feel completely connected while away from home.”

About: I have been a lifelong animal lover, growing up with both dogs and cats and continuing to adopt and care for them throughout my adult life. Caring for animals has always been a natural and joyful part of my home. I have experience with daily routines, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, and providing consistent companionship. I also had a beloved lovebird growing up, which gave me experience tending to smaller pets with gentleness and attention. What sets me apart is my patience, kindness, and genuine heart for animals. While I do not have formal training experience, I am consistent, attentive, and willing to reinforce basic training practices with calm encouragement. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with safety, affection, and respect at the center of their care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am available most weekdays, especially during school hours, which allows me to provide dependable daytime walks, check-ins, feedings, and companionship. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and routine. In a client’s home, I maintain their regular schedule for feedings, walks, playtime, and any special care, while keeping the home tidy and respected. If in a client's home, I am willing to water plants, bring in mail, and assist with regular maintenance care. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe space with close supervision, consistency, and plenty of affection. My goal is always to help pets feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Claire was amazing with our animals. Our dog started feeling unwell shortly after we left and needed an emergency visit to the vet. Claire was incredibly responsive and kept me updated throughout the ordeal. We were able to continue our vacation because she took such great care of our animals. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Jessica was amazing with our shy boy. Yogi made a new friend! Highly recommend.”

Jen M.

“Sara was great! My dog Merlin warmed up to her right away. She was on time with her visits, took great care of my pup and even sent pictures while I was away to show me how happy he was. I will definitely use her again and I would highly recommend her!!”

Chris C.

“Laura was so great! We initially had another rover sitter fall through on our ski trip to CO, but Laura was able to work with us even though we were a little further outside her radius. Priya, our dog, had a great time with her. She sent us lots of pictures and we came home to a tired pup. If we are ever in this area again we would contact Laura for help :) Thank you so much again!”
