Dog Sitting Richmond

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs my entire life, and I currently have three cats!

I’ve also volunteered with animals and have experience caring for pets with many different personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and love taking the time to understand each pet and make them feel comfortable! I’m currently planning to start college online, which gives me a very flexible schedule! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and needs. I’m able to offer plenty of one-on-one attention, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets the care and consistency they’re used to! I have lifelong experience caring for cats and dogs, including 9 months of professional experience working at a cat lounge and years of pet sitting for family, friends, and others. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you truly trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep their routine as consistent as possible, and give them plenty of attention, affection, and patience while you’re away. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for!

About: I am a 27 year old mom that’s been a long time pet owner. I have always been the go to person to pet sit for my coworkers/boss/friends and loved getting to know and care for all different pets. My favorite animal is a jellyfish! I used to work as a nurse aid in an elementary school, so I am quite comfortable with administering any types of medications or testing that’s needed! Being a current stay at home mom, my hours are completely flexible for what you need! I am currently a stay at home mom and have a fully flexible schedule to do any type of drop in visits! I am currently not doing any boarding for animals. I am very thorough with instructions and will always ask if there’s any concerns about the clients pets. My number one priority is to make sure the client and their loved one is comfortable and have a peace of mind that their pet is in good hands.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care I have for animals. While this is my first year on Rover, I’ve been around and taking care of animals my whole life. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and know they’re in good hands. Im currently working on an online business where all I need is wifi and my laptop. Im also a college student looking to make some extra cash to pay off tuition. Both of these things I can do online anytime which leaves me for plenty downtime and study breaks I can spend with my furry friends! I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of attention and exercise, and have a safe and comfortable environment. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their instructions closely and keep their pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. My main goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away.

About: I have been taking care of dogs over 10+ years! From family dogs to working at two pet resorts as well! My experience with dogs range from Pomeranians to pitbulls and cane Corsos! I have watched single dogs to managing packs of dogs as well (5+), and while maintaining a fun and relaxed environment for dogs, but also a safe environment! I will be busy with class from 11-3:30, but can walk dogs before or after then! I am completely free on the weekends as well! And it varies per day on my availability (depending on the time of my class, I might get out earlier!) In my clients home I will follow the schedule the owner provides! I will make sure no harmful food or toys are out as well, providing a fun and safe environment for the dog(s)!

About: Hello! I’m a long time pet lover and house sitter (of my own place) I have interacted with many pets of my friends and worked at animal shelters. My experience with pets starts in high school when I volunteered at the local animal shelter cleaning out kennels, grooming and playing with cats and dogs. I then graduated to being a pet auntie for my friends animals and then pet sitting for various clients. I love pets, they are adorable and I can’t wait until I can have my own! Until then, I guess I’ll just pet sit…. I work from home on most days, so my schedule is flexible enough to allow me to look after pets such as spending quality time, potty breaks, exercising via walks and playing with cat toys. When I care for pets in their home, I take care to read all of the instructions and look after the home. This can include administering medications, accommodating different diets and walking styles (such as the slow walkers, the sniffers, the neighborhood watchers). I make sure to leave the home the way I found it because that is what I would like if I was the pet parent.

About: My name is Valerie! I have become extremely enthusiastic about this app as it has given me the opportunity to meet and get to know new families, individuals, and most importantly dogs. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pup and can’t wait to create a lasting relationship with everyone involved! I feel like my childhood growing up with my dogs has given me a good amount of knowledge when it comes to walking, looking after, raising and potty training. I am a teacher and have always been very fond and connected to children so I feel like dogs aren’t very different from that for me! I love any and all dogs and I’m really hoping I can create new relationships with you and yours. I am currently off for the summer so I have plenty of time to cater to and give your pet the attention it needs all day! I have a backyard with a fence so your pets can get the exercise they need or even some sunbathing in during the day. I have two fur babies of my own to keep your pets company as well.

About: Fur babies have always been a part of my family, even before I was born. I’ve always had a deep love for them and genuinely enjoy caring for them. That bond is especially strong with my fur baby, Mazi, who currently lives with her grandmother. I work from home and am available for bookings with at least 48 hours’ notice prior to the requested start date and time. I am also available on weekends and can offer flexibility to accommodate your schedule when needed. I reside in a gated apartment community that features a designated dog park and multiple walking areas, providing a safe and enjoyable environment for outdoor time, exercise, and fresh air. Inside my home, there is ample space for your pet to move freely and play comfortably. I do not use crates or indoor confinement unless specifically requested by the owner.

“She was amazing! I booked a quick 30‑minute drop-in and she went out of her way to walk both of my dogs individually. She was super sweet, patient, and my pups absolutely loved her. I’m so grateful for the extra care — we’ll definitely be booking again!”

“We had a great experience with Sedra! She is reliable, trustworthy, and took excellent care of our dog while we were away for six days. She made sure he was fed, played with him, and gave him lots of attention he clearly liked her and felt comfortable around her. She was also very communicative throughout the entire time, which gave us peace of mind. We would definitely trust her to watch our dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was about 10 years old. Growing up, we frequently had both cats and dogs in the house. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for about 2 years before working there for 1 year. I have pet sat for a family every summer for the last 8 years or so and I also worked at a pet boarding place 1 summer. I'm currently working part-time so I will absolutely have time to take care of your pet! I can stay overnight and take care of a pet, and only work an average of six hours a day so I still have plenty of time to spend with a pet! I spend a lot of time hanging out with and getting to know each pet in order to meet their needs. I can play, walk, and feed pets as well as just be a calming presence if that is helpful for them.

About: I’m a caring and dependable pet sitter who understands that pets are family. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where your pets can feel happy and cared for while you’re away. I’m passionate about animals and take pride in giving each pet personalized attention, affection, and the care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own. Growing up, I’ve had a couple of shihtzus and pugs! 👉IMPORTANT- I can take in large dogs 50lbs and over but it will be case by case. It will depend on their needs and how they are trained. 👉NO aggressive dogs please. I work from home with full flexibility, allowing me to stick closely to their usual daily routine—including morning and evening walks, mid-day potty breaks, scheduled meal times, and plenty of dedicated play and companionship throughout the day. I tailor my care to each pet's personality and needs. I offer a comfortable setup equipped with crates, safety gates, and plenty of treats for positive reinforcement. I focus on maintaining their routine—handling feeding, playtime, medication, and cozy downtime—so they feel completely relaxed wherever they are.

About: Hello There! I’ve been a loving dog owner since the age of 7. My parents got me a Pomeranian named Chloe and I’ve loved dogs ever since. I have two small pups of my own right now (a Shih-Poo and a Boston Terrier), so I’m used to big personalities in small bodies, lots of energy, and all the little quirks that come with small breeds. I also did a puppy training program with my Poodle-mix, which taught me a lot about building routines, positive reinforcement, and just understanding puppy behavior in general. So whether your dog is still in that wild puppy stage or they just need some extra patience, I have PLENTY of experience. I’m gentle, attentive, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. Your fur baby will always be safe, cared for, and paid attention to with me. I send updates, I pay attention to the little things, and I make sure your baby feels comfortable while you’re away. I’m very relaxed, and my dogs have full freedom to roam around their home — and I will make sure guest get that same comfort and freedom while still being safe and supervised. I work from home, so my babies go out every 2 hours for potty breaks, plus a good walk before or after my shift. Your dog will fall into that same routine with me - breaks, fresh air, and attention throughout the day. When time permits, I love taking them to the on-site dog park (only when the dogs are alone though) Your fur baby’s safety is my top priority. My home is clean, calm, and fully dog-friendly. I supervise all play, keep doors secured, and make sure every dog is comfortable, safe, and understood. I treat every dog with patience and respect. I’m gentle, responsible, and I pay attention special attention to their individual personalities to make sure they are comfortable. My babies have free roam in a safe environment, and any dog in my care gets that same comfort while still being watched, loved, and protected. “You can trust that your dog will never be left alone for long, and they’ll always be in a space designed for their safety and peace of mind.

“Ive been having great experiences with Corina during her drop-in visit with my dog, Gunner. She were punctual, friendly, and gave Gunner lots of attention and care. I appreciated the detailed updates and professional photo shots—it was clear that he was happy and well cared for. Corina followed all my instructions and went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable pet care!”

I have experience caring for animals of all sizes and species, from caged pets, to pastured pets, to house pets. Growing up, I lived in a very large semi farm, with a large array of animals.

I love working with and caring for animals, and I believe I could provide just what your pet needs while you’re away. I have experience dealing with pets who have needed meds and have had special needs such as seizures, incontinence, feeding issues, etc. Guest pets in my home are always welcome on the furniture and to sleep in my bed or wherever they choose, as your pets happiness is my number one priority! I am typically on a fully clear schedule right now. I am doing classes online through a community college, so I am able to dictate most of my time! I have a half fenced yard at my own residence and I am able to separate families pets as needed. There are no current free roaming animals in my home so your pet would be the only one! Caring for pets in others homes is a pleasure as well! Keeping your pets safe and sound, and as comfortable as possible is always the goal I strive to achieve. I currently am a work-from-home employee and have freedom to choose my schedule! I have full flexibility and am able to accommodate almost all owner and pet needs!
