House Sitting In Shockoe Bottom

“Zander was great! He took great care of my two kitties and my house. :)”

“Marissa did an absolutely fabulous job of taking care of our two "elderly" greyhounds for a week. She made them comfortable and secure by sticking to their routine and gave them lots of love. She sent pictures and gave us regular updates and was very responsive to any questions that we had so we never had to wonder what was going on. I would highly recommend Marissa!!”

Michele M.

“Sara was great with my dogs. I really appreciated how many photos she sent me while watching them and could see how well my anxious dogs were warming up to her.”

Emily H.

“Alex was amazing - very professional! He was very attentive to our wishes and instructions, excellent communicator, punctual and all the things you would expect from hiring a pro. The house was left clean and he genuinely seems to care for our pets and enjoy their company. Got photos every day and followed our complicated medication schedule. The dogs seemed happy and healthy when we returned! We HIGHLY recommend!”

Sam K.

“I am absolutely blown away by Jakiya and could not recommend her highly enough. She communicated like a pro and took exceptional care of my Finn and Vada! And, my house looked cleaner than when I left! I am already preparing to book her for another sit. My Finn and Vada wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Jan H.

“Oli was very communicative, left our house cleaner than we left it, and our pup was so well-taken care of for the two weeks we were gone!! We could very much tell when we got home, and by the funny tidbits Oli sent us that showed how much she was in tune with Maddie! We would definitely use Oli again! And so appreciate how happy Maddie was and how clean everything was upon our arrival! When we came home in between her departing and us getting back, she even had calm music playing for Maddie! Oli is a gem! ❤️”

About: Hi there! I'm Mitchell, an experienced and passionate dog lover excited to take care of your furry friend. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, cuddles, or quiet walks, I provide personalized care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I offer a flexible and stress-free experience for both you and your dog, with plenty of attention, exercise, and fun! Your pup’s comfort and happiness are my top priority. Looking forward to meeting your furry companion and making them feel at home!" I am excited an eager to help out taking care of your furry friends and with 18 years of having pets and three years of experience watching dogs for friends I am willing and able to do what it takes to give your dog a quality experience and help out with whatever is needed. I am a teacher in Chesterfield County so I can be available all day on weekends, Saturday and Sunday, and after 4 PM on week days. I have two dogs, one is a beagle/dachshund mix that is 3 years old and a 10 month smaller sized lab/hound mix that are both under 30 pounds and live in a two floor condo with no yard. I am able to walk dogs and do pop in visits to check on your dogs.

About: I have experience caring for dogs through both long-term and everyday responsibilities, including helping raise my aunt’s dog from puppyhood and regularly caring for my boyfriend’s dog. My responsibilities have included walking, feeding, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing companionship to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give to each pet individually. I understand that being away from their owner can be stressful for some animals, so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring, and positive environment where they feel secure and loved. My experience caring for puppies has also taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of paying close attention to behavior, routines, and energy levels. I treat every pet with the same care, compassion, and responsibility I would want for my own animals. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for my own cats. I make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention and playtime throughout the day. I even take my cat on walks, so I’m very attentive to both physical activity and emotional enrichment. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so being patient, observant, and consistent with their routines comes very naturally to me. II believe pets communicate their needs through their behavior and body language, so I always pay close attention to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I respect each pet’s boundaries while also giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, maintaining their routine, and making sure they don’t feel lonely or stressed while their owner is away.

“Jacqueline was a great dog sitter! She watched our 2 large dogs for a week. She took the time to meet the dogs beforehand, and receive their care instructions. She sent daily pictures of the dogs and took great care of them! Highly recommend, and will definitely re-book for future trips.”

Sarah P.

“I can’t say enough good things about Tiana! Not only did she take fantastic care of our dog by making sure he was happy, loved, and well looked after, she also took the time to water a dry patch in our lawn. She then cleaned out our fridge whenever it unexpectedly stopped working. That was a huge help. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our home and pup were in such good hands. I highly recommend!”

Finness C.

“Kaleigh helped me out with dog walks when I had to cancel my booked housesitting trip last minute due to injury! My dog loves her. Great communication. Will book again.”

Jennifer P.

“What a fantastic sitter Amber was! She was able to handle all 3 of our dogs, one of whom I am sure smothered her with affection attempts and another on the opposite end of the spectrum in that I know she had to use patience to win him over. She was able to do it all and everything in between. If our dogs could talk I know they’d already be asking when is the next time Amber is coming by. Thank you.!”

Zachary D.

“Hallie was terrific. Very responsive to messages and sent updates and pictures. She stayed in my house and cleaned up after the kittens. I came home to happy kittens and a neat house. I've booked her for my next trip.”

Evelina N.

“Daniel was awesome as always! Great with our cats, even managed to get our older cat his transdermal medication successfully. He's also respectful of our home- we never feel any anxiety with having him in the space.”

Bethany F.

“Nancy did a wonderful job caring for our home and our three very different dogs while we were away. She was responsible, communicative, and great about checking in whenever she had questions. She carefully followed all instructions, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable in her care. We came home to happy dogs and a house that was in great shape. We truly appreciated the peace of mind she gave us and would absolutely recommend her to others.”

Mary J.

“Victor did great sitting for Ellie, kept her company all day, listened to her needs, gave her food and her medicine. Would absolutely book him again in the future!”

Elias

“Celeste was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was communicative, thoughtful, and consistently kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared about my dog, and seeing how happy and comfortable my dog was in her presence meant everything to me. I could tell my dog felt safe, loved, and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Celeste again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Sarah was loving and patient with our elderly dog who simply can't handle thunderstorms. Unfortunately, both nights we were gone, storms appeared. She had to adjust sleeping arrangements since our dog could not settle. Sarah was very communicative throughout the entire booking and for that I am extremely appreciative. Thank you, Sarah!”

About: My name is Nick and I am a teacher in Chesterfield county looking to use my love for animals as a way to make some extra money over the summer. I have had dogs and cats growing up my whole life and currently have a dog named Bagel and a cat named Friday. I also have lots of experience dog/cat sitting for friends and family over the years ever since I was in high-school. I am a teacher so I won’t be working during the summers so I will have unlimited time during the day/night to take care of your pets and their needs! Once the school year starts I can do weekends and afternoon/nights! I have a lot of energy myself so if your pets love to get exercise/play around I am very up for that. I also try to be very thorough with the pet care instructions and will ask questions/for clarification to ensure I am giving your pet the best care as possible.

“Violet did an amazing job watching Finn! I had her stay at my place while I was out, she was very professional and cleaned very well before she left! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to come watch their dog!”
