Cat Sitting in Sandy Hook

“Sidnee was responsive, caring, helpful, and thorough! I definitely recommend her and will be using her for pet sitting again!”

“Abby was amazing! I’m super happy with our experience working with her. We took a prolonged trip and had the help of Abby to take care of our cat. She sent us photos and thorough report cards. She also helped keep our indoor plants alive and this was a nice relief knowing my plants would get watered. My cat LOVES her, you could tell she was in heaven and all over Abby everytime she came for the visits, she did an amazing job giving our cat attention and loving her. Anyway, she was very responsive, professional, and did great with the animal care. Thanks Abby! I will be using her again and also would highly recommend her!”

“Great communication! Took awesome care of Isis. I was able to enjoy my trip and not worry knowing she was in caring hands!”

“Kelly did a great job with our 3 cats while we were away. Since two of them refuse to come out when anyone comes over, she had to do most of the work unseen and unappreciated. Thanks so much, Kelly!”

About: Hello! My name is Kate and I want to meet your pet! I have a seven year old Australian Shepherd who might be the love of my life (don't tell my husband!) I have grown up around dogs but have also taken care of cats and guinea pigs. In all seriousness, I live in the Goochland/Short Pump area and offer pet walking during the day. I'm a super active person who works from home and has the time to commit to make sure your pet is well taken care of! My first dog (a Westie) lived to be almost 17 and by the end of his life, needed a variety of medicines throughout the day and so that is another service that I can offer. I hope to meet you and your furry friend soon! I work from home starting late morning and also typically go to the park everyday after work (depending on the weather). I am available before work, during lunch, and after work. I make sure that your pet has plenty of water and play time before I leave the visit! I always make sure your pet is comfortable and we can play as much as they want!

“Kaitlyn was great! Reliable, very good with the dogs, and respectful. She did everything we needed and more! We'll definitely be asking her to come back again.”

“I have two small kittens that I had to leave for a week. They stayed with Riley all week and looked very content and happy in the pictures I received. Riley’s veterinary experience was also a huge peace of mind. Would recommend to anyone!”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was seven years old. My family had two kittens that I cared for and I was responsible for pet sitting other fur babies in the neighborhood growing up. I also attended many animal science/nature camps growing up, it’s where I got my first hermit crab! I also know the Heimlich maneuver for both cats and dogs. In my junior year of high school I applied and was accepted to the HOSA veterinary science program where I graduated in the National Honors Society. Shortly after graduation, I started working at a veterinary hospital as a veterinary assistant. My job was to help restrain animals for exams/shots, organize medications, prepare/read fecal slides and determine if intestinal parasites are present, collect urine samples, and provide basic care. Overall I have had personal experience caring for dogs/puppies, cats/kittens, goats, horses, hamsters, chickens/chicks, pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, ferrets, chinchillas, birds, lizards, snakes, frogs, turtles, hermit crabs, and axolotls. I am currently a student in nursing school and am working as a part time server. I can take off days from work if needed for services. I am on winter break for school so my availability is wide open! I like to learn about their daily routine and what they like to do for fun so and incorporate those things into our routine while clients are gone, so pets feel safe and relaxed while their family isn’t there.

About: I have owned dogs since I was 10. I now personally own four dogs and wouldn’t change it for anything! I love dogs and animals in general and I would like to help take care of yours. I am extremely flexible and will accomadate your pet to the best of my ability! I do not have a fenced in yard but leashes are no problem and I also have an electric fence on our yard if you prefer that. No matter what the size or type of dog you have I am able to handle it and make sure your dog is well taken care of when in the hands of me! Thank you for reading and I hope to see your pup soon and make another dog friend!

About: Hey, my name is Erin! I’ve had my own animals my entire life, but I also have 4 years of dog training professionally. I worked for the company Dogtopia (a great dog daycare/boarding facility) as a canine coach and assistant manager. I worked hands on in the room with the dogs during open play, and one on one in grooming and training sessions. Unfortunately, my husband travels for work so a traditional 9-5 doesn’t always work for me, hence finding my own lane with Rover! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend. :) I work from home remotely part time as a paralegal, and outside of that I am a stay at home wife. Pet care fits seamlessly into my life and I am open to working with clients to help accommodate special time needs. I cannot accommodate watching your pup at my own home because I have my own rescue who does not want to share the space. Thank you for understanding!

About: Taking care of dogs or any animal in fact has always been something I really enjoyed from a young age. I started a few years ago just reaching out to friends and family to take care of their pups and I’ve had a blast and want to make it a more every day thing. I just love making dogs as happy as they make me:) Pet care fits perfectly into my routine since I work very part-time and have lots of flexibility. I love being able to plan my days around walks, playtime, and quality time with the pets I care for. I’m also available for overnights, which means I can give pets extra comfort and consistency while their owners are away—it’s something I genuinely enjoy, so it never feels like work! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a safe, clean, and comfortable space with plenty of attention and playtime. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible, including feeding, walks, and any meds they need. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent for the pet. Whether it’s my home or theirs, I treat every pet like they’re my own—making sure they feel loved, relaxed, and well cared for
