Cat Sitting in Short Pump

“Kelley was excellent with my pups and kitties! She communicated well on how they were doing and was very flexible when I asked to add additional visits at the last minute so we could leave for our trip early. Even my skittish mini Aussie immediately took to Kelley! I would definitely trust her with my pets again.”

“Eliza is amazing with our dogs! Always taking extra care to make sure they feel comfortable. She will let us know if she won’t be available for some reason so we can make other arrangements and she always comes on time! Our pups love Eliza!”

“Katie is an amazing pet sitter! From the start, she made us feel completely at ease with a meet-and-greet where we got to know her and could see how much she genuinely cares about pets. During her visits, she left detailed updates along with adorable photos, which made us feel reassured that our pets were in great hands. She was always quick to respond to any questions, which was such a comfort. Thank you, Katie, for your kindness and professionalism! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, growing up in a family that always had two dogs. As the eldest, I naturally took on a lot of the responsibility, feeding, walking, bathing, cleaning up, helping with training, and of course giving plenty of love and playtime. Beyond my own pets, I’ve also cared for neighbors’ dogs and cats, always making sure to follow their instructions carefully so each pet feels comfortable and cared for just the way their family would want.😊 Working from home gives me the flexibility to be fully present for your pets throughout the day. I naturally take breaks often, which I love to spend playing, walking, or giving them attention so they feel happy and cared for. Since I can bring my work with me, I’m also able to stay in your home as long as needed; making sure your pets have company, comfort, and consistent care without ever feeling alone. When I care for pets in their own home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar space. I follow your routines closely so everything feels consistent for them. Since I work from home, I can spend plenty of time with your pets, giving them attention throughout the day. My goal is to treat them like family and make sure they’re happy, relaxed, and never feel alone.

“Loren was a lifesaver! She helped me out last minute and was wonderful to work with. My dog absolutely loves her. I will definitely be using her again. Thanks, Loren!”

“Cathy Jo was excellent. I was gone for quite a while and was concerned about leaving Max for such an extended time. But he did great thanks to Cathy Jo’s TLC. I would definitely ask her to help again.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has grown up with family pets and has experience caring for both cats and dogs with a variety of personalities and needs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, whether they’re playful, shy, energetic, cuddly, or independent. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and attentive caring for your pet while you’re away, and I always aim to make animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. From feeding, walks, and playtime to litter box care, treats, and plenty of affection, I’m happy to provide the care and attention your pet deserves. I love meeting new pets and building relationships with them, and I’d be excited to care for your cat or dog! I work full time but have an hour long break. I also have a reliable personal car so I can travel to homes during my lunch break, ensuring that pets are taken care of throughout the day I visit homes often and send updates and pictures to families, ensuring that everyone sees their fur baby often. Litter boxes and water bowls are cleaned daily. While home owners are away, I also make sure to bring in any mail and anything else that shows up during my stay.

About: I am a pre vet student with years of experience working in vet clinics and volunteering at the SPCA. I have worked with dogs, cats, and other small animals such as rabbits and Guinea pigs. Every animal that I have worked with has had different medical, dietary, and attention needs. I am ready to work with your pets! I am currently working part-time and shadowing at a clinic so my availability varies but I will do my best to work around your schedule. For drop-ins I will make sure that your pet is fed, watered, let out, and given lots of attention. I will also fulfill any requests pertaining to medication.

“Very sweet very kind would definitely recommend”

About: I have been around animals forever. My neighbors have also been trust me to be able to take care of their pets when they go on vacation. I also have 3 cats of my own that I love and adore. I just recently found a kitten and bottle fed her till she was ready to take on solid foods. I would love to be able to give your pets the care they deserve! I have three cats of my own so I wake up early before work to feed them. Then also on my breaks I go visit them because I live close enough to work. I love to be able to spend as much time and play with them as much as possible. I would love to show the same love and care that I show my own. I always make sure not to spook any animals, even if I’ve known them forever. I never want my sudden movements to scare them in anyway and I want them to be able to trust me.

“From the initial Meet and Greet, Brandi showed compassion and an understanding for my boy with some special needs. She was clear and confident in what she would bring to each visit. During the visits, she checked in on time, each time and submitted detailed recaps and pictures to assure me everything was going well. This was the ideal turnout for my first time using Rover. Thank you, Brandi!”

Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience through volunteering at an animal shelter, pet sitting for families in my hometown, and regularly caring for cats in my apartment community over the past year. 🐈As a cat owner myself, I have a soft spot for cats and really try to understand their personalities. Whether they’re playful, shy, or independent, I always take the time to make them feel comfortable and safe. 🐕I also love spending time with dogs—whether that’s going on long walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I’m very attentive to routines and make sure each pet gets the care and attention they’re used to. 📲I know how important it is to feel connected while you’re away, so I always communicate and send regular updates and photos!

About: I have been dog, cat, and house sitting for over 2 years now. I recently relocated to the Richmond area and joined Rover to continue sitting as my previous clients were through word of mouth. I have a background that includes caring for dogs of all sizes (dachshunds, corgis, aussies, doodles, terriers, dobermans, newfies). Growing up with dogs in my family, I have an innate understanding of their needs and affectionate nature. Contact me to discuss how I can cater to your pet’s specific needs! I work a full time job and do go into the office 3 days most weeks. This is why my availability is usually Friday to Monday. I will work with your pets needs to ensure they are well cared for and happy around both of our schedules. I’ve honed my skills in creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets by growing up with a dog always in the house and through my previous 2 years of pet & house sitting. Your pets welfare is my top priority, and to do this, I’ll need to know as much as possible about them before the job starts. This includes a meet and greet where we can both ask questions, and a mutual observation of interacting with your pet. I look forward to providing them with the love, care, and attention they deserve.

About: I am incredibly passionate about caring for animals and it brings me great joy and peace to be around them. I have been around pets since I was little and have worked with them all throughout my life, including walking, house sitting, and volunteer work at kennels. I am currently a Virginia Tech student on summer break, so this summer is the most flexible time for me to work! My services in Richmond will become unavailable by late August when I return to school. I have two adorable dogs in my home, a labradoodle and an australian shepherd. They get plenty of love and attention from me, including baths, brushing, and lots of walks! My australian shepherd is nearing the end of his life, so my family and I are doing our best to take care of him and give him the extra attention he needs.

“Thank you so much for taking time to spend with Maggie. She loves people and it is a blessing to have you come and spend time with her!!”

About: I’ve had animals growing up ever since I was little. I’ve grown up with 4 dogs in the household and currently have my own. I absolutely adore all animals and would love to take care of your beloved animal I work and go to school daily but during the summer, I can definitely be more free. I always take breaks to walk the dogs around the neighborhood. I always be adequate to feed them and give them water throughout the day at their assigned eating times! If the dog is crate, trained to sleep in the crate at night, they’re welcome to sleep in the crate or if the owner wants, they can sleep in the bed with me. I do not mind.

About: I've been around animals since before I could walk, and have always had a way with them. My family and I lived in a trailer park when I was little. My mother always said from the moment I was born the animals flocked to me and there was no animal I couldn't get my hands on. My sister and I used to play with the stray cats outside of Grandpa's house. Pop would always mention how the cat we were holding would never let anyone close enough. Mom would often find "miss kitty in my crib with me. As I got older miss kitty passed away, but had left behind some kittens in her stead. Mom had decided to keep one and named him pudgy. He was a long hair black cat with the tiniest bit of white on his underbelly. I can remember running up and down the hallway and tap my shoulder as if trying to play tag with my sister and I. Pudgy and I had been the best of friends for about 18 years, till his passing. During the years he and I were together, he would often come running anytime he heard me sniffle or begin to cry. There were many other animals that we had over the years as well. Dogs, chickens, goats, rabbits, rodents, amphibians, horses they've been a vital part of my life. But no matter what I always come back to many best friend and the furry felines. If you're looking for a caring, detail oriented, and experienced fur sitter/walker, look no further. From feathered birds no bigger than your hand, to strong horses, I've handled just about anything. While I am new to this app, I am no stranger to animals. Wether they are young babies or older seniors, I would be more than happy to care for your pets. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile, and I hope to hear from you soon. I am currently working on getting my EVOC certification for Royal Medical. I will not have my updated schedule until after March 29. When I watch pets I do generally have my 5 yo with me. Availability -pending I have a dog pen out back and a cable that we use with our dogs fairly frequently when the weather is nice. I also have a play pen that the pups play in.
