Cat Sitting in Tidewater

“Nancy L. is a wonderful Pet Sitter. She fell in love with my young cat, Walter, and played with him when she checked on him. My older cat was too shy to come out, but both cats were well cared for. Plus, she takes great photographs!”

“We love having Wendy care for our dog Shep. She is a conscientious caregiver, following our care instructions carefully while giving him lots of love and attention. She keeps us informed by text, sending photos and funny stories about his behavior. She even gave him a birthday party, complete with a doggie crown. Wendy is the best!”

“Such an awesome job and so professional. Really goes out of her way to make sure you and your pets are taken care in your absence. I came home to happy and well adjusted pussy cats. Thank you!”

“Paula was such a great dog sitter for me. I have Parkinson’s and I was no longer able to walk my dogs. She would take them on walks around the neighborhood/to parks/dog approved areas and etc. The dogs loved her and I’m very grateful for her.”

“I had Anthony do drop-in visits for my two dogs. He was prompt, reliable, and provided excellent care for my sweet babies. I would definitely recommend him, and I will certainly use his services again in the future.”

“Bernadette is a dogs best friend! She’s the perfect running buddy, she gives the best cuddles, and will care for your pup like they are her own. She’s watched two of my pups and I’m pretty sure they would have picked her over me at the end of the day. You couldn’t find a better dog sitter! I highly recommend.”

About: I've owned and cared for animals, from horses and sheep to dogs and snakes, since childhood. Experience in senior care, puppy training, and special dietary needs. I work from home and shape my work time and lifestyle around being able to stay active periodically throughout the day. The ability to essentially work from anywhere that has wifi grants me the flexibility to be present with the animals I my care. Outdoor play time and exercise, companionship, and daily hygiene and grooming. I also have the option for separate feeding spaces when boarding pets with food aggression.

About: I’ve loved animals since I can remember, as soon as I could I started at our local animal shelter, then I started pet sitting for family and friends. I was the go to pet sitter for when they were out on vacation and it was an honor every time! My availability is Tuesday through Saturday, and I’m free all day anytime. I have the time to take care of your pets needs when they need it! For care in my home I have a medium/small sized dog they can socialize with as well as walks every hour. I have all the free time for animals, their needs are important to me!

About: I have 6+ months experience rehabilitating rescue dogs. Including dogs with human/dog aggression, re-directional aggression, feral, reactive and disabled dogs. I also have 5+ years experience handling horses, including broodmares and colts. I have 3 Rhodesian ridgebacks, 2 horses and 1 sweet chihuahua! My mission is to provide your pet with the highest quality exercise and care! I provide a screenshot from the Strava app of our recorded run/walk to show pup parents! Do you have a dog that’s in need of quality exercise and mental stimulation?? Than I’m your gal! I have a very open and flexible schedule that is ready to fit your needs! I am open to starting as early or as late as you need. I treat my clients homes with the upmost respect. Not only taking care of your pet but assuring you that your pet and care of your home is in good hands!

“Clover is the best pet sitter we’ve ever had, and an added bonus of being the nicest person ever. We have used her several times to watch our two dogs, three cats, multiple reptiles, and fish. I would definitely recommend using her, your pets will thank you!”

“I was floored by how attentive and engaged Jessica was with our two elderly kitties. She took extra time to earn their trust, and after a week in her care they were utterly devoted. One of the two particularly suffers when I’m absent for extended periods, and she took extra care with him. Her daily updates were informative and gave me clear indication of whether she was concerned/ not concerned for the small issues that cropped up (furballs and etc). She has my highest recommendation!”

“Ivan is a very nice person to know and very good at what he does. He is a great guy with a big caring heart. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, caring and knowledgeable person to care for their pet. You will not be disappointed with his services.”

About: I have my own small business which specializes in house and pet sitting. I come with several recommendations from cats to dogs and it is my personal goal to make their experience whilst away from you pleasurable and enjoyable! Along with this I have used the dog walking app Wag for over two years! I have an Australian shepherd of my own so I am not afraid of timid or high energy animals! I currently work through opportunities such as these and run a small business of my own house sitting and dog sitting. I am a student but available at almost all times of the day or night! I have a fenced in yard and a small 2 bedroom home. I almo have a very friendly aussie who has been constantly exposed to both dogs and cats her whole life, (though i think she may prefer the company of cats) and works very well with others! I keep my home extremely clean as a house keeper and pride myself in making sure your pet is safe and secure.

“Nena does an amazing job with my cat Oswald. My new job takes me out of town for up to two weeks at a time and each time I come back Oswald is happy and his kitty chores are done. She keeps me updated with regular pictures of him as well. My cat doesn't like many people but absolutely loves Nena.”

About: I’ve been petsitting for over 20 years. I can care for your babies as if they are mine. Cats, dogs, birds, turtles, etc. thank you! I am available for up to two drop ins per day seven days a week. I usually stay 20-45 minutes per visit to love on and take care of your pets. We have a wooded home with no fences. We’re not close to to a road. We have one neighbor. Any runners would probably not do well here

About: I am new to Rover through friends and other sites have now done many housesits with dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, and more! For me, there is nothing better than getting to spend the day between online work sessions throwing a ball or going for a walk around to explore with the best canine companion. I have lots of experience adjusting to different dogs' routines. I mostly have experience with smaller dogs, though have cared for the occasional one bigger dog at a time. I try to connect with each animal under my care and make sure they are comfortable, attended to, and loved. I have raised my own dog, Violet, from Day 1, so I am experienced with puppy care. I have also cared for several senior dogs and really love taking the extra time with them, whether a slower walk, attention to a skin condition, or extra attention to food and medication. I work online teaching literature and creative writing, so I am around all day, taking the occasional few-hour trip out to run errands or go to appointments. I have lots of flexibility to adjust to any dog's usual schedule and make sure they have attention and my presence. I have always worked hard at leaving a light footprint when I housesit. I am very aware of leaving things how I found them and honoring each person's space. And I follow that for pets as well -- sensing into their routines and habits and fitting myself into that flow. I especially appreciate any written instructions or routines to refer back to and will make sure I am carrying out each person and animal's expectations. I also make sure to send regular photos and updates and will promptly share any concerns or questions. For now, I'm available for drop-in visits or walks and also for housesitting, but only for owners and pets who would be open to having another dog -- my 26lb dog Violet -- in their home. She has been on many housesits and does well with animals of all kinds. I make sure to ease them into the situation and spend time with each dog separately. Violet basically ignores cats, so we would be open to any dog-tolerating felines.

“Brian was great. My dogs were spoiled little princesses and Brian texted me pictures the whole. time!!! i will board with him every vacation”

“Haley loves animals, so she’s a natural with all pets. She was kind and patient to my older dog, Buddy. He doesn’t usually play much, but she got him to actually play with her! He requires special food which she responsibly handled with no problems. I would definitely recommend Haley to take care of your fur baby!”

“In my whole life, I have never known anyone who cares more about animals than Morgan. I have seen her rescue and take great care of feral cats which became loving house cats under her care. Morgan has an empathetic heart and a very responsible ethic, and I have left town many times knowing that my cats are safe and happy in Morgan‘s care. No one better for the job!”

“The one thing I can say for certain, about Charles work is that he's totally amazing . I have seen him with large ,scary dogs ,who just melted in his hands . His love for his work shows. It's that simple . I would choose his pet sitting skills over anyone else in the area . Thank you”
