Pet Sitting Richmond Estates

About: I bring over 12 years of hands-on pet care experience and have cared for 50+ animals, including horses, bunnies, turtles, chickens, dogs, cats, goats, and reptiles. My background includes rescue dogs, seniors, puppies, anxious pets, and multi-pet households. Raised around a family-run rescue shelter in Colombia, I developed early awareness of behavioral sensitivity and trauma-informed handling. I understand how to support reactive dogs, pets adjusting to new environments, and animals deeply attached to their routines. I’m confident with structured walks, medication administration, feeding schedules, and maintaining consistency — because routine creates safety. I work comfortably with high-energy breeds who need firm structure as well as senior dogs who require patience and gentle pacing. Safety, emotional regulation, and calm leadership guide everything I do. With 36+ five-star reviews, I’ve built a reputation for reliability, attentiveness, and creating environments where pets feel secure and balanced. Animals respond quickly to steady, grounded presence — and that’s exactly what I provide. As a remote entrepreneur, I offer something many sitters can’t: consistent daytime presence. Your pet isn’t left alone for long stretches or squeezed between other bookings. My flexible work schedule allows me to integrate care naturally throughout the day. This includes: ✔️ Midday enrichment walks or structured backyard play ✔️ Consistent feeding and medication routines ✔️ Responsive potty breaks (no long waits by the door) ✔️ Calm, attentive evening companionship Because I’m home, I can adjust in real time, whether your dog needs extra exercise, reassurance during a storm, or simply quiet company nearby. My workday flows with your pet’s rhythm and their well-being. ▸▸ Meet & Greet First I require a Meet & Greet to ensure energetic compatibility and comfort before booking. ▸▸ Home Integrity Standard I maintain a clean, respectful presence in every home. Surfaces are cared for, plants are tended thoughtfully, and shared spaces are reset daily. You’ll return to a home that feels orderly and well-kept, never disrupted. ▸▸ Security Discipline Calm authority prevents accidents. ✔️ Double-check of gates and entry points ✔️ Leash inspection before every walk ✔️ Awareness of flight-risk behaviors ✔️ Structured handling of anxious animals ▸▸ Communication & Updates You'll receive consistent photo updates so you can see your pet thriving in real time. With 36+ five-star reviews, families choose me again and again because they know communication, safety, and integrity come first.

“Kala went above and beyond to take excellent care of our boys while we were on a long trip. She took her time with visits and gave lots to of TLC to all the animals in our house. Even though we were thousands of miles away and 7 hrs ahead I felt such peace knowing Kala was giving her best to our furbabies! Beyond grateful for you Kala! Thank you so much!!”

“I booked Samanntha to look after my cat Sam for a week while I was on holiday. We emailed back and forth a few times to discuss what I was looking for and when she came to meet Sam he fell in love with her, even offering her his belly for rubs by the end of the meeting. Right then I knew she was the one!! Plus she and I had a wonderful conversation as well! She was great at communicating, cleaned his litter every day, played with him, and sent pics and videos each day, even doing a video chat one day! I would definitely recommend her services, as she is friendly, kind and clearly loves animals!! Thank you, Samanntha!!”

About: Very playful and loving with any kind of dogs. I enjoy taking them out for walks and giving them a good workout. Your fur babies will have lots of fun and plenty of breaks as well. And they will receive plenty of love and cuddles while under my care. I am currently working evenings to nighttime at a part time job. I am completely available Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I can also care for your fur baby on Saturdays if needed. In case of an emergency, there is a vet near my apartment building I can take your fur baby to. The house is always locked at nighttime and there are plenty of locations to take them on walks and exercise during the day.

“Jonathan has been our go to dog sitter anytime we are out of town and always does an amazing job with Mia. We recommend him to anyone who will be away from their pups for an extended period of time.”

I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with medical needs. I love building trust with animals and helping them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets, so you can travel with confidence knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 I strive to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care, I will work with you to ensure their feeding, exercise, medication, and enrichment schedules are maintained.

I am happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs and create a care plan that works best for them. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities.

About: Hello neighbor! I would love to be your four pawed family member's newest bff. I have years of experience caring for dogs, and currently work with Fairytail Petcare services as a dog's plus one to their owner's weddings, and formerly on other pet care service apps. I have lots of experience with a variety of dogs; different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My own dog struggles with strangers, so I understand how difficult it can be to find a dog walker that understands dog body language, and pet consent. Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have, I'm excited for the opportunity to care for your beloved family member. I have full availability, please send a request and I'll let you know if I'm available during that visit if I'm not already booked. Thanks! I treat your home how I would like my home to be treated. If you would like me to remove my shoes at the door, I'm happy to do so. Whatever makes you the most comfortable so your dog can receive the care they need.

About: Hello there! My name is Jossi, I have over five years of professional experience caring for animals through various daycare/boarding facilities and a service dog training facility. Along with my personal passion for animals and nature. Over the years, I have had the privilege to gain knowledge in many different aspects of Animal Welfare! I am trained on dosing different medications, Animal CPR/ First Aid, and medically needed restrictive activity. I have knowledge in managing special quirks in fur-babies (resource guarding, playing keep away, mouthiness, etc) and I take pride in providing a safe environment for your pet to explore and learn how to redirect energy into productive outlets. This is supplemented with tons of enrichment to promote mental stimulation and small tips to help owners understand pet needs so that we can team up to create a setting for pets to be happy and healthy! I am a big communicator and love to keep parents updated on their pets, I know how stressful it can be being away from your fur-babies, rest assured I will do whatever I can (within reason) to ensure the comfort of everyone. I am also very honest and if I feel I am not a good fit, I will communicate that as soon as I know. I strive to create an open and tolerant environment for families and look forward to welcoming new families into the pack! A little about me: I have always loved wildlife and being in nature. I am a big adventurer and love to explore new areas. I am okay handling an array of different critters. I have had everything from hamsters, ferrets, and birds to cats and dogs of all sizes. I currently have a large dog (Cotufo), three kitties (Critter, Wybie, & Stitch) and a Bearded Dragon (Tater Tot). Outside of my love for nature, I spend my time playing games, watching films, and being creative through various outlets! I currently work part time but my schedule allows me to have Mondays and Tuesdays off. I can accommodate some other services around my work schedule, feel free to message me for more information! Before your fur-babies are in my care, I like to ask questions about expectations to the client and give them the opportunity to ask me questions and clarify any topics we would need to talk through. I prefer to do a meet and greet and allow the pet to warm up to me as naturally as possible. While in my care, I keep pet parents updated on activities, routines, and any changes in their pets that might come up.

About: Hi! I’m Devin, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs of every size, shape, and personality. I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors — and now I’m opening my doors (and my heart!) to pups on Rover. Whether your dog is a high-energy goofball or a snuggly couch companion, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and at home. I've trained my own little pup from 8 weeks old and he's a Shiba (well known for their stubborn personality) I dont work weekends or holidays, plus my lunch breaks are typically on the longer side (1 to 3 hrs). Fitting in check ins, potty breaks and walks are a piece of cake. I believe in positive reinforcement, gentle guidance, and keeping each pet’s individual comfort level in mind. I pay attention to body language and energy, and I always go slow with nervous or shy dogs so they can warm up at their own pace.

“Daijah always does such an incredible job with our pup! She keeps us informed, sends photos, and our dog clearly has so much fun with her! Highly recommend her!”

“Jocelyn was very communicative, easy to work with, and followed all instructions. She sent pictures of my fur baby after visits. She did a great job.”
