Pet Sitting in Richmond

“Thank you for caring for Beans once again! She looks forward to your visits, and we feel so much better knowing she is happy while we are away.”

“Allison was available on short notice and we really appreciated the great care she gave our two cats and her help bringing in an unexpected package that had been delivered!”

“My dog's name is Alaska, she's a 12-year-old dog who loves Nicole. Whenever I have to go on a trip, Alaska stays with Nicole and I have never had any problems. I'm very sure it doesn't miss me when I go on a trip.”

“Sarah was a fantastic friend for Benny! She took him for walks, played in the yard, was very attentive to his needs and kept us in the loop on his activities. We’d recommend her to anyone!”

“Colleen lovingly parented both a Newfoundland and a Saint Bernard alongside her two-legged offspring, and for a long time I was fortunate enough to dogsit her animals from time to time. Now that I have resided my first dog, Colleen and her family have provided expert and compassionate care to my pooch on many occasions and I highly recommend Colleen and her family as cater for your best friend too!”

About: I have had pets in the family for as long as I have been around. I have my own 9 year old dog and a family Great Dane. I have pet sat for both young playful puppies that need to be exercised constantly as well as old pups that need extra care and bathroom breaks. I’m good with both big dogs and little I’m currently looking for a part-time job so I’ll have plenty of time to take your pups on walk or spend the day with them. I am available on weekdays as well as weekends I currently don’t have the capability of taking your pets to my home but depending on services you would like if there’s no fenced in yard walks are just as easy.

“Lizzy is such a kind and caring individual, especially when it comes to animals. She is a really motivated worker and I know she will provide the best possible service to all her clients!”

“Whether it's for playtime or overnight stays, my dogs are always excited to see Brooke. I'm grateful to have found such a reliable, trustworthy and dependable pet sitter. Just like many other dog moms, I only want the best for my pup. I know that my pup will be safe and having a blast with Brooke every single time. She has a lot of knowledge when it comes to safe food and treats and all things dogs. I couldn't be more pleased that we have someone that we can trust to take care of our dog. I would definitely recommend Brooke for all your pet needs.”

About: I am a recent UVM grad with degrees in Animal Science and Wildlife Biology. I have worked at dairy farms, small animal hospitals, and volunteered at my local shelter. I have 2 furbabies of my own as well as a leopard gecko (I love exotic animals!). I have been pet sitting for friends and coworkers for 5 years now. I usually do weekend sitting, but am open to doing check-ins, potty breaks, and walks. I am experienced with cats, dogs, chickens, pigs, sheep, cattle, and exotics (reptiles, rabits, hamsters, ect.) I am hoping to go to vet school in the future! I currently work a 9-5 job, if I am working remotely I can come do potty beaks and check-ins whenever needed. I provide sitting Friday evenings - Sunday evenings. I am open to walking, doing check-ins, and sitting on the weekends. I currently do not do sitting in my home since I am renting.

“I highly recommend Emma as a cat sitter! My extremely shy cat, who usually hides from everyone, warmed up to her immediately. Emma is not only reliable but also incredibly kind and accommodating. It's evident that she genuinely cares for animals, and her gentle approach made my cat feel comfortable and loved in her presence. I trust Emma completely and am grateful for her exceptional care. I’ve also seen her with dogs (although not my own), and they have been just as happy and well taken care of.”

About: Experienced veterinary technician and dog trainer looking to diversify opportunities and continue to work with pets. Experience in caring for animals that need routine medication administration (including injections and/or oral medication) and/or light medical care at home I work a flexible overnight schedule (3 nights/week) so we could discuss my availability in detail to ensure it meets you and your pets needs! I have 30 acres which are ideal for off leash activities and walks. Leashed walks are otherwise available in same area for other dogs who are still working on recall or prefer to be on lead.

“Kristina was super reliable and took very good care of our little guy Guinness while we were away! Highly recommend!”

“Cora did an excellent job watching my cat while I was away. She was flexible with the dates and had very prompt communication. I appreciated the daily updates as well.”

“Christina was great!~ She communicated well and figured out a few details I forgot to include in my instructions. I was hesitant to use the service, but would do so again without reservation.”

“Was able to cover us when our sitter cancelled last minute. Did a great job! The kitties were super happy when we got home. 10/10 would recommend”

“Laura has been a great companion to my 2 large, intimidating German Shepards. Has a good understanding of canine behavior. Is very gentle and enthusiastic with my dogs. Knows how to get them to behave with enthusiastic positive reinforcement.”

“Olivia was really accommodating on short notice, followed my instructions to the letter, and took great care of my pet. I’d definitely recommend Olivia!”

“Kristina was so attentive and kind.”

About: Who doesn’t love dogs??! I have 2 fur babies of my own that are truly like my own children. I will care for yours like they are my own because that’s exactly what I’d want!🤍 I am back home in my native state of Vermont while in between working contracts (I am a travel healthcare worker), so I have plenty of time on my hands to help you and your doggies out! I enjoy long walks and stops at the park - whatever your normal or preferable routine is, I’m happy to accommodate whatever your needs may be!

“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!!”
