Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Sauer's Gardens, Richmond, VA

About: Want to help more pet owners when I can! I’ve had experience as a dog owner and volunteered at shelters/fostered multiple times. Familiar with various dog sizes and ages. Positive reinforcement and advocating for your dog. I am currently working remotely full time so I can provide care throughout the day, a few breaks here and there and a walk during lunch. I am a homebody so I do like chilling with pets at home and will take them out every few hours for long walks. I do have a lot of stairs going up to my apartment but I also don’t mind carrying a small dog up and down if needed. I’ll keep the place neat, follow rules or guidelines well to take care of your pet. I’ll make sure to keep an eye out for anything that’s out of the ordinary and notify you.

About: Hello! I've been a pet owner for a little over 15 years now! The first eight years, I had chocolate lab, and the last four years, I've had my very first kitty! I love spending time with animals and taking them out to play and walk to get the exercise and interaction they need. While walking or checking in on your pet, I will keep track of their bathroom schedule and make sure they get enough exercise to keep them happy and content. I will also strictly adhere to any rules or guidelines set by you regarding your pet and your home, such as the length and intensity of the walk and/or playtime so that you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is being well taken care of exactly how you want them to! I’m happy to take your dog for a run as well! I look forward to meeting you and your kitty or pup! I typically walk dogs and check in on dogs/kitties in the morning and on my lunchbreak during the week (this time is flexible!), and am able to walk dogs or drop in on your dog or cat after 5:45pm and anytime on weekends! In my client’s home, I care for their pet(s) by closely following the instructions left by the owner and making sure they have a great time during our time together. I also am sure to respect the client’s home and boundaries within the home.

“Roscoe loved his play date with his buddy Avery! Also enjoyed the photos of their visit and walk and Avery even left us an adorable doodle of Roscoe.”

“Jeff did a great job watching my two cats, making sure they got their food, meds, and lots of snuggle time or just time with some company. He was very responsive, was respectful of all my requests - including a bit of a crazy food/med routine - and I could tell my cats really bonded with him and were happy to see him. It's always such a relief knowing your pets are being well cared for while you're away!”

“Holland is an excellent, professional, and communicative sitter. She went the extra mile, and on short notice, and I would rebook and recommend her services to anyone.”

Chris C.

“Kyra did an amazing job taking care of my three cats while I was out of town. She even got my cranky old man cat to play a little bit with her which isn’t something just anyone manages! All three of my kitlets are quite the characters, and Kyra somehow captured their personalities in the photo updates she sent. I’ll definitely be hiring her again when I have to be away from home.”

Jennifer Y.

“Amanda was phenomenal with taking care of Indi while I was out of town. Indi was feeling very sick and Amanda gave consistent updates and went above and beyond to help take care of her and make sure she was as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much Amanda, will definitely be rebooking for the future!”
