Jamie, once again, was a wonderful pet sitter for our cat. Adorable pictures!! She spent time cuddling our very needy cat and made sure everything else was taken care of as well. We returned home to a happy feline and a clean apartment. Thanks again, Jamie!

Tess is a rockstar!! We have 3 SHY senior special-needs cats who need all kinds of complicated care. They needed a combination of special diet food / thorough supervision throughout mealtime to ensure everyone gets the right thing, powdered meds mixed with food, transdermal medications applied to the ear, and antibiotics out of a syringe, in addition to all of the typical work that goes into cat sitting. It’s always hard to find someone we can trust with their safety with that level of care needed, but we saw that Tess had experience with senior kitties, administering multiple kinds of medications, caring for feral cats, and her own cats at home. That’s the best you can hope for! True to her word, Tess did a beautiful job taking care of all of their needs, and even went the extra mile to give the last round of several medications when we let her know we were happy to take care of the final day to give her a break. She took extra time to make sure she could establish trust with them first and kept us up to date with everything we needed to know. Somehow, after medicating really shy and medication-averse cats, she left 3 happy, safe kitties after her care. Couldn’t recommend Tess any more highly, and we would be thrilled to have Tess back again any time!!

Brooke took great care of our kitty, Sox, while we were away. We got photos of their activities together! Brooke was reliable and responsive to messages. Our house was exactly as it was when we left. She even washed the sheets, which was appreciated since we got home at 2am. Would highly recommend Brooke to care for your pet and look forward to having her here again.

So thankful I found Lianna! She goes above and beyond for drop in visits with my pup a couple times each week - not just making sure she gets dinner water and potty breaks, but taking time to reinforce good habits and work on some training with her. It’s so nice knowing she is in caring and thoughtful care. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter that is responsible, punctual and genuinely cares!

About: I have actively been taking care of dogs since I was a teenager, and in doing so I have worked with a variety of breeds, sizes, and dog of different ages. My manner of minding focuses on building a connection with the dog while uniquely understanding the breed and the specific needs they may need met. I'm very active and thus great with dogs who are looking to get in shape or have high energy levels. I have experience working with dogs who have been abused or neglected and re-socialising them. My home is large enough for multiple dogs of many sizes to be comfortable in as well as a short walk away from multiple parks. Both mornings as well nights are currently available Monday-Sunday.

About: Please contact for pricing based on location. Rates will increase based on mileage outside of Richmond. Dog lover, Cat Mom. Big, small, stubborn, loud, quiet, shy, young, old, hyper, chill - all animals deserve to be loved. Grew up in suburbs near trails with dogs on and off leash. Flexible schedule. I have a large car to bring 1 or multiple dogs out for adventures. With permission, I may spoil them. Worked as a vet tech assistant for 3 years. Rasied many dogs from puppies and am familiar with positive reinforcement training, crate training, and clicker training. Experienced with dogs that are people and/or dog shy and know how to handle the situation. I do not believe in such a thing as naturally aggressive dogs. Everyone has their own personality and experiences, so do animals. I'm currently working full time 8:30 am - 5:30 pm Monday-Friday in Burlington near Redrocks. I can do walks or check-in's before and after work for locations near my home or office. I'm available on the weekends for longer periods. I am happy to come to your home or office. I am available to care for your dog or cat in your home and can stay for extended periods within a 1-hour driving distance of Burlington. I love being active so am happy to take them hiking, running, or out for a gentle walk. I am unable to care for pets at my home.

Annalisa was excellent!!! She helped us with our new kitten, Winston, for the Fourth of July weekend and as a new Rover member I must say I can’t imagine anyone topping her service. She was so kind and accommodating to everything Winston needed, and sent us multiple updates with photos. I felt so comfortable leaving him in her hands and it allowed me to thoroughly enjoy my weekend out of town :)
