“I highly recommend Kade as a cat sitter! She is incredibly responsible and always responds to messages in the app very quickly. She follows all instructions very well, which gives me peace of mind while I'm away. On top of that, she's amazing at taking photos of my cat, capturing those adorable moments. If you're looking for someone reliable and attentive, definitely book Kade!”


“Lila took amazing care of my kitty once again! She was able to watch her super last minute and was super flexible with the key pickup/dropoff. Appreciate you as always! And will definitely use her again :)”


“Absolutely wonderful with my girl! My timid pup warmed right up to her, which usually does NOT happen so quickly, and loved the company. Kyla was responsive, communicative and was really great working with. Will definitely book with her again!”


“Thane did a wonderful job of caring for our fur babies! They were thoughtful and considerate to our cats needs and kept us well informed while we were away.”


“Katherine was a great choice for my first time using Rover, will definitely rebook with her in the future. She was so great with my cat and was very responsive. She also takes amazing pictures!”


“Jeff provided multiple days of feeding, cuddle time, walks and loving attention for our dog. The photos he sent helped us feel at ease knowing our boy was safe and happy. We appreciated his responsibility and updates!”


“Cat has been an absolute pleasure to work with! I scheduled her last minute for daily drop-in services with my dog, Koko. Even though it was a short turnaround time (I made the request Saturday morning for services starting on Monday), Cat came to our house that same day to meet Koko and discuss what I was looking for in drop-in services. Over the past week, Cat has been an excellent communicator, has consistently arrived on time, and has really catered her care to Koko's preferences (e.g., playing ball with her in our yard, convincing her to eat something at lunchtime even though she's picky). I have already booked another drop-in session with Cat for next week and will certainly continue to work with her in the future! I highly recommend working with Cat!”


“Excellent visits! Great communication, sent lots of photos and very interactive with our cats. Flexible with providing care and changing up day to day routine. Absolutely perfect pet sitting experience!”


About: I grew up with two big dogs, a vizsla and a great dane and have experience working with all types of dogs. Now, I have a pitbull of my own, who I rescued from Richmond SPCA. I would love to cater to all of your dog’s needs and give them lots of love. I have very flexible and open availability! I am a student with lots of time on my hands during the summer. Let me know what your needs are and I can make it happen! I am used to dealing with both hyper and calm dogs. I’m also well versed in handling large dogs or those that need a little extra care. I’d be happy to feed, bathe, and/or walk and spend time with your dogs! I am also happy to accommodate to any special needs.

“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.”


“My cats are always happy after having Lee watch them! Lee leaves the best daily notes and takes cute photos to share while I’m missing them on vacation. I have peace of mind leaving them in Lee’s care.”


“Rachel was wonderful with my pups. I appreciate her gentleness with my shy pups. They loved being around her. I felt safe with Rachel being in my home and caring for my pups.”


“As always, Elijah took excellent care of our crew while we were out of time. Excellent with communications and makes an effort to win even the trust of our most skittish cat!”


“Hannah exceeded expectations. I was able to relax and enjoy my little getaway knowing my dogs were well cared for. She was courteous, communicative, and professional. She kept me informed while I was away—with a bonus of super adorable pictures. She’s a gem! Thank you, Hannah. Duke and Barbecue look forward to seeing you again. 🐾🩷”


“Kristen was wonderful! She took great care of our kitty while we were out of the country for about 2 weeks. We will definitely connect with her for any future needs as well.”


“Robbi did absolutely amazing! She’s so sweet & my cats absolutely loved her from the moment she stepped in the door lol. In fact when i came home from my trip they acted like they didn’t know me 😂!! She sent plenty of pictures, she communicated everything with me, and she followed the list of things i provided! I definitely would book her again 10/10 💕!”


“Julia was a big help watching our dog Shadow while we were away! She provided very detailed updates and amazing pictures! She was even able to stop by extra times when we had unforeseen travel emergencies. I would highly recommend Julia :)”


“Erin was a huge help while I was gone for a week. She was able to do an emergency drop in when I requested & was always responsive. I was worried about leaving my cats alone, but Erin gave me peace of mind while I was away. She kept me informed with detailed summaries & photos of each of her drop ins. I highly recommend Erin!!”
