“Lee was great with my cat! He was easy to communicate with, quick to respond, and included good updates and pictures with his rover reports every day too.”

“Abigail was awesome! Very communicative, sent 6 photos from her visit with our cat (some of the best pictures we have of her), and just an overall pleasure to work with. Could not recommend her more!”

“Jonathan was great! Communicative and diligent. Gave us piece of mind that our cat was well taken care of while we were on vacation, which is everything you can ask for!”

“Lila always does a great job with our crotchety elderly cat and follows all our directions for his crotchety food preferences perfectly! She also sends lots of photos and detailed updates.”
“Jillian was so kind and became pretty close with my cats in the short time she spent with them. I believe that's a good sign! She was very helpful and the visit photos she gave me made me very happy. I would book her again!”


“He was amazing with my cat! He played with him and sent me many pictures. He followed all my instructions and kept close contact with me. I felt so much better while I was on vacation knowing my kitty was being taken care of!”

“Rebooked with Elijah! He provided detailed and thoughtful updates while caring for my four cats. Elijah was able to get my scaredy cats to engage and play. We will definitely hire Elijah in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m Eliza, I recently finished grad school at VCU and am doing some freelance creative work currently, so I have a very flexible and available schedule to help with your pets! I've loved animals my whole life and have grown up with dogs. When I was younger, I helped raise and train one of our dogs from puppyhood, where I learned how to care for a dog's daily needs. Four years ago, I adopted my first cat, and caring for her has given me plenty of experience with feline care as well. Whether it's walking dogs, dropping in for feedings, playing with energetic pets, scooping litter and refreshing water, or just keeping pets company, I'll care for your animals as if they were my own. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to adapt to whatever helps them feel comfortable and cared for. I am post grad school and currently doing freelance work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am very free in the afternoons typically. I will take extreme care in caution when in people’s homes. As someone who has used this as well for my own cat, I understand the fear with letting people in your home. I can assure you I will treat your home with the same respect I would want my own.
“Thane sent detailed notes of each visit along with photos. Our cat usually takes a while to warm up to people but the two of them really seemed to hit it off! We’ll definitely be looking to book Thane again in the future.”

“Daniel was great! He went above and beyond to take care of Lainey while I was gone. Taking care of her, cleaning up after her, and making sure she felt safe and cared for while staying home alone for the week. He was even nice enough to drop off some cookies for me and my girlfriend on his last visit. An extremely nice gesture, having known we both contracted Covid during our trip (it’s the little things 🙂). I will definitely request service from him again if he’s available in the future and strongly recommended others do the same. 10/10 dog sitting!”

“Aubrey is phenomenal! She exceeded expectations and went above and beyond while caring for my cat, Henley. She cleaned our floors and watered our plants, all unprompted. I will recommend her to my friends and family and will book with her in the future.”

“Katherine was great! We had a bit of a last minute request, and she was SUPER accommodating. Sent great photos and updates/notes, and our pups really seemed to like her.”

“Emmalee did a wonderful job of visiting our two cats daily and making sure they were loved. Also some great photography skills on display with the daily updates which made us feel less far from our babies.”

“Sidney is great! Super friendly and not bothered by my wacky dogs and their little issues. She arrived right on time and sent cute pics! Will definitely book with her again.”
“I don’t want to write this because she will become too popular ❤️❤️Erica is amazing with my Remy!! He loves her so much! She is always communicating with all things! She does tasks without me even asking!! Love her!! She even bought him a new toy!! 💕. Best check-in sitter ever!”

“Emma went above and beyond to take care of my Pooffy. I was away from home, outside of US for.more than a month. She prompty stepped in and took the best care of my fur son. She is very well communicative, fun and loved pooffy a lot. Very aptient and always ready to support the pet parents. I have been taking her services several times and definitely can vouch for her! 🌷🌷”

“Laura kept our dog for a week and did an excellent job! She exceeded our expectations by walking him on every visit and sending us detailed updates and lots of pictures. We were nervous about leaving him for an entire week, but Laura really kept us at ease with her constant updates. We will definitely use her again!!”

“Amazing communication and so sweet with my pup. She sent the cutest photos and I plan on continuing to use Maggie for all services!! 10/10 would recommend”

Avery took amazing care of Kali these past 6 months i've been in Richmond for work, we will definitely miss her! It can be hard to trust someone with your pet when traveling but i'm so happy I found her. She's amazing at communicating and was always flexible with work changing schedules at times. Thank you so much 🩷

Lee has consistently gone above and beyond every time he’s watched my cats. He is very diligent in reading instructions and is a pro at giving meds and injections. My cats can be messy and have accidents and he always tidies up. He even helped me with a package that was not part of his petsitting. My cats were given lots of attention and well taken care of. He is the #1 petsitter I trust!

Harlee is a fantastic pet sitter! She watched our two cats for 10 days. She came twice a day to administer medication for our senior cat and was always great about arriving on time and sending photo updates. Her care for our cats brought us a lot of peace of mind while we were on vacation. She even watered my bonsai plant (thank you!). We wouldn't hesitate to book Harlee again!

Eliza did a great job walking Teddy! She was on time and took photos. I can tell she is comfortable with dogs and in tune with their needs. Teddy was excited to walk with her and was a happy dog when he came home! I will definitely be hiring her again for more walks.

My cat Charlie was in the best hands! She was punctual, professional, communicative, and attentive. She went above and beyond to make sure Charlie got the best possible care. During my week away from home I trusted that my pet was being cared for and I didn’t have to worry one bit. Would absolutely book again and recommend to friends!
