Cat Sitting in Studley

“Stephanie did a great job taking care of our cat. She was on time every day and her communication was great. I would definitely rely on her again.”

About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I wait to begin my career as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant in late August. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾

“Eddie provided drop-in visits for our hound dog Milo while we were out of the country for 2 weeks. He took good care of Milo and communicated well with us throughout, giving us great peace of mind. Would definitely recommend.”

“Randi was awesome! I don’t often leave my dog so I was fairly nervous to use a stranger. However, she came by while I was here to meet my dog, and watching her with him immediately put me at ease. We have already booked another session with her!”

Sarah J.

“Kaycey was responsive to communication, knowledgeable about elderly dog pet care, and has a warm and engaging personality. Would definitely book again!”

Jeannine U.

“Julia did a great job for me when dropping in to watch my dogs recently. She sent me updates over text and even sent pictures when she was there. Highly recommended!”

“Victoria has been our regular petsitter while we work. Our Cavalier, Louie, loves her! She is great with our dog, and has excellent communication with me. Victoria is always flexible if changes in our weekly schedule occur. She always informs me if something comes up and we need to adjust the days she pet-sits Louie. Victoria has such a special way with animals. I highly recommend her.”

About: I have watched almost all species and sizes of pets! I have taken care of pets from young animals to seniors, and love all of them equally! I specifically have experience with rabbits, hamsters, lizards, turtles, chickens, horses, dogs and cats. As a pet parents to three cats, a dog and a bunny, I spend a lot of time caring for and playing with my own pets. I am a college student on break who has plenty of free time to watch and pamper other fur babies! I am a perfectionist when it comes to follow instruction specifically in animal care. I like to ensure that my animals along with the ones I care for are happy and healthy.

“Thank you thank you! Thumper loves you and you were right about his ears. I hope you have a wonderful spring and I will definitely book you again when I need someone!”

About: There hasn't been a time in my life where I wasn't surrounded by animals. My family has had a range of small, medium, and big dogs that we have raised from when they were a puppy to their old years. I'm currently working full time at my local grocery store but I don't go in until 10-11am so my early mornings are free! I normally go to the gym but walking pets gives me a chance to help myself stay active as well as your critters:) — For drop-Ins I can take your pet/s outside to use the bathroom, and on a leash if a fenced yard isn't available. I will be with them for the entirety of my stay to keep them entertained. — For walks I am flexible with the pacing whether it be fast or slow depending on your dog's needs. I have lots of experience walking heavier dogs on a leash so that won't be a problem.

“Margaret was wonderful! She is very thorough with her care and was super accommodating. She sent great photos from her visits and kept me updated on how everything went with my dog. She is great to work with and I have already booked her for upcoming house/pet sitting. Thank you, Margaret!”

About: I am trained in Fear-Free and worked at an animal shelter for 3 years. You can rely on me to give medicine and provide typical daily care such as ear cleaning and nail trimming if desired. In addition, I will walk your pet as needed and provide socialization and enrichment. I am a mom of 2 dogs and 4 cats in addition to my own children. My furbabies are always taken care of as soon as I wake in the morning and multiple times throughout the day. I have high expectations for the care of my own pets that I will carry over into the care of any pets in my care. I will provide the care and love you want for your pet while they are being cared for by me. They will receive top-notch love and oversight in their own environment so that they can feel comfortable and at ease.

“Allyson was such a wonderful sitter for our kitty! Her messages always made me smile and I could tell how much our little boy loved her from all of the pictures she took the time to send 🙂 Thank you Allyson!”

About: Not only have I owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, I've also fostered at the Richmond SPCA, RACC, and Sanctuary Rescue for a cumulative 13+ years. I'm highly experienced in animal behavior, nutrition, and medical needs. I do know animal CPR and I have no issue administering meds. I love animals and I am extremely familiar with their behavior. Please contact me to care for your pets so you can be stress free! I work from home which allows me to make my own hours and I can drop in any time past 9am. I am also used to pets with medical issues and can come over whenever needed to issue medicine. I keep a tidy house with many rescue cats and dogs. We have numerous litter boxes that are scooped or cleaned daily. People who come to my house are always shocked that I have cats. My dogs are kept as part of the family and have a large back yard to run around in.

“Chloe is fantastic! She is attentive, communicative, and so knowledgeable. I felt that my two dogs were in the best hands in her care. One of our pups is more shy and fearful. She was so loving and patient with her. Thank you for everything, Chloe!”

I love to hang out with pets, and I love a list. If there is a specific set of things to do, I will follow it exactly and make sure the pet gets what they need.

“Elijah was great! Took wonderful care of my cat. Ran out her energy with every visit, let her take time to acclimate, and even went out on the catio with her. I can tell he’s a loving cat parent and passes that care on to his rover animals too!”
