House Sitting in Skinquarter

“Erika is phenomenal. We had some crazy things happen to our travel plans and she was so flexible and communicative. She left the house in better shape than when she got here and took incredible care of our pets. We will 1000% be rebooking with her.”

“Mary was awesome! Communication, and how she cared for Bailey were more than we could have wished for. Thank you so much!”

Diane S.

“Thanks again for helping out with Otis, he was very happy to have a friend stay with him this weekend.”

“Lauren was amazing! From the start, she was very communicative, friendly and made me feel comfortable with an in-person meeting to meet my dog before I left town. She truly saved me over the holidays and kept me updated with texts and photos of my pup while I was away. Took excellent care of my dog and apartment. 10/10 recommend to anyone and would hire her again! Thanks so much, Lauren! ✨”

“Hannah was great watching our 3 year old Westie while we were out of town. She was communicative and sent us updates throughout the time she stayed with our dog.”

About: Growing up, I have always found it easy and rewarding to take care of animals I have learned to be very attentive and receptive to the needs of furry friends and just find them to be such nice listeners in return 😂 We used to have a house full of dogs and cats and it was more a pleasure, than a chore, to get to interact and take care of them. All that to say, I am completely confident and comfortable in my ability to assist in any way when it comes to our four (or 1,2, and 3) legged pals! I just moved to the Richmond/Midlothian area so I’m looking for some good chances to earn some savings doing what I love!! I have pretty open availability! I don’t sit at my house only for the fact of my two French and English bulldog babies! They tend to get tense and wouldn’t want any discomfort for any other pet! I am very respectful to the needs of the client and their furry companions!!

“Raegan was terrific with our senior greyhound!”

“Diane was flexible, timely, caring, and just a really sweet person in general. She took the best care of my pal and he loved her. I can’t imagine any other qualities you would find in an outstanding sitter.”

Jonathan B.

“Hannah was a wonderful and caring pet sitter/house sitter. We have a much older dog that requires some medical needs and Hannah put us at ease that he would be cared for while we were away. Hannah communicated multiple times a day, sent pictures and asked questions if she was concerned about our dog's behavior. Hannah was very respectful of our home while she stayed. We were able to enjoy time away thanks to Hannah's care of our dog. We will definitely rebook with Hannah!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was young while I was babysitting or when my neighbors were gone for the week. My official pet-sitting experience has been about 3 years. I had the responsibility of walking and playing with dogs, and if they had a cat I would make sure they get the love they need while their owner was out of town. I'm currently a college student, so I have classes during the day. My longest days are Tuesday-Thursday, but I'm done by the early afternoon. I have the availability to stop by for bathroom breaks. My schedule is very flexible besides my classes, so I can easily work with what you need. I can't have any additional pets in my home (due to living in an apartment), but I can come to your house when you need me. If you feel comfortable with it, I have done overnight stays to keep the pets company during the night. I love going on walks in the morning and late afternoon with the dogs I have pet-sat.

About: Growing up my family always had at least one or more pets of various breeds so I have 20+ years of experience around animals. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, lizards, rabbits, goats, and hedgehogs. Personally, my husband & I have 2 dogs currently, 9 & 10 years old, one having epilepsy & is dependent on medication. I have helped raise/care for/train puppies, kittens, baby rabbits, & baby goats. The only pet I'm not comfortable with is snakes, my little sister has one but I only look at it from 3ft away in its enclosure, haha. I work part time Tu/W/Th 8A - 5P, I do not mind caring for pets those days, however I will be gone all day. Otherwise, I'm available for your pets needs! My personal routine with my pets: My husband helps me care for our pets daily but his schedule is a bit different than mine, so our dogs are let out at least within 4-6 hours those days. Otherwise, we let them out every 2-4 depending on their needs (which they have been trained to lets us know if they need to go sooner). Our medical dog is on a 12 hr medication schedule. I'd prefer to care in my clients home due to one of my dogs having a reactive past, it was quite a transition when we inherited our other dog. If you have a specific routine, I'm ready to follow it to the T! I'm comfortable walking dogs on leash, hanging out/playing with them in a fenced yard, or just chilling inside. As mentioned, I have experience with medically dependent pets. I have an escape artist, so I'm always vigilant of their proximity to me and prepared to run/chase in the event something happens. I can stay at the home with the pets or I can visit throughout the day!

“Michelle was great to work with! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and took amazing care of the house. We came home to two very happy and well cared for doggies :)”

“Sarah has house sit/dog sit for us twice now and is absolutely amazing! She keeps us updated, sends pics, and makes sure the house is just as clean as we left it! Plus our fur babies loooovvveee her! We highly recommend hiring her! Thanks again Sarah!!!!”

“Ada house sat my dog who was both diabetic and recovering from bronchitis which required shots and other medications twice a day. She not only cared for MMO’s medical needs but provided emotional support for him in my absence. She sent pictures and conducted a River video chat with me to ensure not only Momo’s emotional support but for mine as well. I felt confident my beloved pet was in good hands.”

Mary k S.

“Our first ever pet sitter experience was great. Fran took care of our puppy /baby as if it’s her. She is amazing with dogs and understand their needs. I would highly recommend her.”

“Athena is hard for new people to win over. Adrianna did a great job winning Athena over. Would happily have Adrianna watch Athena again.”

About: I have taken care of animals ever since I was a kid, I have been house sitting for 3 years now. I would love the opportunity to take care of your animals! Please feel free to reach out if there’s any questions. I currently don’t have a job and will be going to bright point in the fall. I will be free to work with y’all’s animals whenever. And will have class for 2 hours a day so your animals wouldn’t be left long!! I would love to feed and give your animals water, and I would take them to the bathroom every 3 hours!! Your animals won’t be left for long, and I would love to have someone I have house sitting before talk to you so you can hear from them what great work I do!!

“Very friendly and responsible. She took great care of my pupper and was very communicative. Would definitely work with Mary again 😊”

About: I know how to take care of animals with disabilities, my cat that I grew up with is blind and I took care of him until he passed away. I grew up around dogs and cats, my mom currently has two chihuahua mixes that I have taught some basic commands to. I also have a cat named Keke and she’s 3 years old. I can work around my schedule, I currently have a job working at cvs and am willing to move around my schedule to whatever fits best! I have a dog with anxiety and I know how to calm dogs down when they are stressed out about something and distract them away from the problem.

“Jacqueline was AMAZING!!! She was so sweet and kind when we met and my dogs loved her! This was the first time I have allowed anyone to stay in my home while in vacation and I didn’t have a worry in the world. My house was just like I left it, clean and orderly! I highly recommend Jacqueline and Rover to take care of my dogs!!! Thank you Jacqueline!! ❤️”
