“Carina was responsive, timely, & just overall great with our cat during her drop-ins while we were out of town for Thanksgiving! She made sure to send daily updates with lots of details & plenty of photos and also left our cat supply space so clean and organized! Our cat seemed super cozy & happy upon return, would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter 💕”


“Kim was so great! Visits were consistent every day (which I know my cats appreciated), and many of the daily pictures she sent are so good I could frame them! I really enjoyed working with Kim and look forward to calling on her again the next time we’re out of town.”


“Brandi was able to come last minute when my travel plans changed and my dog loved her! She took great pictures and gave long updates. Leaving a senior dog alone for more than a day is always scary, but I felt confident with Brandi doing drop ins. If I have to travel without my dog again, I know she'll be happy!”


“The eptomie of professionalism and practicle application, We couldn't be more pleased with our choice of sitters for our little beast, Thank you J. He is a better dog because of you!”


About: Hi, I'm Ash! I've grown-up and taken care of dogs & cats of ever kind since I was a child. I've always been the trusted fur "auntie" for my family, my friends and my neighbors when they needed an extra hand taking care of thier pets. I own my own hair & makeup company that allows me to build my own schedule. I have flexible availability during the week for walks, feedings and cuddles! I work most Saturdays for a few hours in the morning, but I am available in the evenings and most Sundays are completely open. I offer in-home pet-sitting services, so your pets can stay comfortable in their own environment while you're away. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or just providing some company and cuddles, I treat every pet like they're my own. I'm responsible, respectful of your home, and committed to making sure your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I’m here to provide peace of mind while you're gone!

“Wow! What a great cat carer! Regan took the time to try & engage my shy boy kitties & was very successful! Other car caters have not been successful, or even tried much? Second, my return flight was postponed from Sunday to Tuesday, & Regan gracefully agreed to add more visits, which is a huge relief!!! Regan also thought to ask about trash pickup ( where to move the can). Another versatile factor is my rush of emails regarding changes when the house cleaner came. Again, Regan gracefully obliged my multitude of requests. Obviously Regan goes above & beyond! I know who will be my preferred choice going forward… could not be more pleased with Regan.”


About: I’m a certified veterinary assistant and I currently work as a kennel attendant and pet care employee. I take classes at Reynolds community college and in high school, i was apart of the veterinarian science center. I have experience with all animals including cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, ferrets, and amphibians. I foster animals and I take pride in what I do. I’m determined to break the stereotype that teens aren’t good workers. I’m not squeamish about poop, vomit, or bugs if you have a reptile in need of a snack! I currently have pets of my own including a bearded dragon, a dog, two rabbits, a hamster, hermit crabs and fish. If you have a dog who pulls on a leash, no need to worry I’m strong, and learned the proper techniques. If you have a cat or dog with separation anxiety, don’t worry. Any animal is welcome to sleep on my bed. Please ask any questions about your specific pets and I’ll be sure to get back to you. I take online classes. I am free all weekdays and weekends. I do work some mornings during the weekend so let me know and i’ll clear my schedule for your pet! If your pet is staying at my house, I’ll be sure to provide the proper care. Reach out to me and we can talk about your specific pets/species. If you have a dog he/she is more than welcome to sleep in my bed and I will provide walks in the morning and night. A meet and greet is required since I have a dog. My dog gets along with anyone but I’d like to see if they’ll be a good match. My family’s always home and your dog will never be alone. As for daily check ins, I’ll check on your pet at home and provide the proper care, including walks. If i’m staying at your house, I’m respectful to other people’s property. I understand what it’s like being away from your pet and I won’t shy away if you have cameras in your home.

About: Hi! I’m Jordan — a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver with a deep appreciation for how much pets are truly part of the family. Whether you have a playful pup, a mellow senior, or an anxious rescue, I provide thoughtful, loving care tailored to your pet’s needs. I currently work with flexible hours and love spending time outdoors or snuggling with animals. I’m also detail-oriented and great at following feeding, medication, or walking instructions exactly as given. I grew up with dogs, fish, guinea pigs, geckos, you name it! I have experience with breeds ranging from small breeds like Yorkies to larger dogs like Labs or Shepherds. I’m also comfortable with senior pets, puppies, or animals needing a little extra patience. I treat your pet and home with total respect, just like I’d want someone to do for me. Whether you need a daily walk or drop-in visits, I’d love to help give your pet attention, care, and love while you’re away. 🐶🐾 Serving both areas of Waynesboro, VA and Richmond, VA. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine — I genuinely enjoy slowing down and being present with animals. I have a flexible schedule with availability during mornings, variable evenings, and weekends, which allows me to give pets the attention and consistency they need. Whether it’s a midday walk or a weekend drop-in, I prioritize being dependable and communicative for pets and their people. Whether in my home or yours, I treat pets like family — with patience, respect, and intention. I follow all care instructions closely and take time to understand each pet’s unique routines, preferences, and personalities. In a client’s home, I ensure pets feel comfortable in their own space while maintaining cleanliness, boundaries, and security (like locking doors and checking gates). If I care for pets in my home, they’ll have a calm, cozy environment with limited noise, no other pets, plenty of cuddles, and structured downtime. Safety is always at the top of my mind — I never leave pets unattended outside, and I’m careful with food, toys, and household hazards. I also provide regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.

“Jenna did an exceptional job caring for my senior small dog. If I could give more stars, I would! She gave me photos and video and an honest observation of my dog on each visit. I would 100% request her to come over again!”


“I booked Farah to look after my 2 cats over Christmas break and she did a wonderful job! Both my kitties loved Farah and were obviously well cared for. I have one cat who’s very shy but he warmed up to Farah very quickly. One of my cats required oral medication and the other needed his teeth brushed daily, both Farah was able to do successfully. Her prompt communication also kept me assured while I was away. The house was tidy/clean when I got back; one of my cats has a habit of kicking litter out of his box and Farah was on top of vacuuming it up. Thank you Farah!”
