Pet Sitting University

“Kumiko did a wonderful job. Came by every day, stayed with our kitty for a while and played with her. She sent many great and cute photos. Very reliable and super quick to reach via the messenger feature on the Rover app. We were very happy with her and will hire her again.”

Daniel K.

“Desiree was approachable, kind hearted, responsive, and accountable. I could tell she wanted to care for my dog to the best of her abilities by the questions she asked. She wanted to not just care for my pet, but be respectful of my home. Highly recommend!”

Spence K.

“Ciara was wonderful! We had her cat-sit for us for a week. Prior to her sitting, she did an in-person visit with us, as well as a day before meet and greet with our cat, which we really appreciated! She checked in with us every day, while we were gone”

Anna B.

“Tara always takes extra special care of our cat who is a bit needy! She always makes him feel so loved and we don’t have to worry about him one bit when we’re out of town and she’s taking care of him!”

Jenna K.

“Magdalana always does an amazing job taking care of my fur babies! She keeps me well informed and is flexible in my plans! I will always use her when I go out of town.”

“Donai was exceptional! I knew when she came to meet Alice and Hank and she got on the floor to meet them, and asked for some treats to win them over, that she had already won over my approval. She gave me daily updates and daily pictures. It made me so happy on my trip to both see them, and also see that they were being well cared for and loved. Would definitely book Donai again!!”

“Saved the day when I needed a last minute drop in. Huey seemed to love him. Will be booking rover and rover again. 🙂”

About: I've been surrounded by critters since I was a little girl - from fish to foster puppies, reptiles, rats, bunnies, dogs, cats, and everything in between. Basically, you name it, I've hugged it. In the past year, I've started dog sitting regularly for several families in my hometown of Louisville, as well as in South Hadley, where I go to school. I love spending time with animals and look forward to getting to know yours! I'm a student in Richmond for the summer with a flexible schedule - I have plenty of free time all day, every day, and would love to spend my free time with your critters! I know all pets have unique needs, and am always willing to adhere to what you feel is best - whether that means six walks a day, regular litter box cleanings, or three-hour playtimes. I will always leave your house clean and make sure that your pet has all of their needs (and more) taken care of.

“Bayley did a great job with all 3 of our dogs! She came over in the morning for breakfast; as we needed help because our reg dog-sitter's schedule changed. She jumped right in and was very flexible! Def will use Bayley again!!”

“Emily has been a wonderful cat sitter. She is great with animals, kind, very responsive, and provides great updates during each visit. I'll definitely be asking her to cat sit again and highly recommend her!”

About: My family has rescued large dogs since I was a small child. I also have four years of experience working in boarding at Pet Station Country Club. I am very familiar with ‘weird’ dogs and am experienced in handling dogs that may not be considered friendly. My own dog can be a bit of a problem child— and I love her with my whole heart and more. I’m pet first aid and pet CPR certified, I also have experience administering medication if that is something your pet requires. Overall, if you’ve got a pet who needs a little extra TLC, I’m the sitter for you! I am currently working full-time, 9AM-5PM on weekdays. I am fully available on the weekends and evenings, aside from Mondays. I’m willing to housesit on weeknights on the condition you’re comfortable with my work schedule. If you’re not sure about scheduling feel free to reach out and we can discuss finer details! When housesitting or stopping by for walks I will follow whatever conditions you are comfortable with! I understand how important routines can be for our furry friends.

“Jen was incredible and helped our cat so much with daily visits, cuddle time, and food/litter changes. We felt super safe and confident that our cat was taken care of with love. Thank you so much for everything, Jen!!”

“Erin, thank you so much for taking care of Nillie on short notice! You gave me piece of mind that Nillie wasnt alone all day while out on a day trip.”

Danielle H.

“Olivia was incredibly attentive & took great care of our three cats & dog! Excellent communication. Will definitely be requesting Olivia again for future pet care needs ??”

Stephanie F.

“Wonderful notes! Left our dogs very tired and happy!”

Adam C.

“This is my 5th or 6th time using Liz. Every time she sends good pictures and her communication is great! Fast responses, clear pictures and happy dogs every time. I don’t recommend giving short notices if you don’t have to but my job is last minute demanding and she’s been the best at responding last minute.”

Dakota W.

“Madi was extremely responsive, respectful, and accountable. She helped me in a pinch and was flexible when it came to my sometimes unpredictable travel schedule. I appreciate all Madi did and I would recommend to anyone looking for somebody to help care for their pet.”

Spence K.

“Eleanor was great with Zoe! She listened to my instructions closely and provided detailed updates each time she checked-in on her and was very responsive with her messages. Thanks for taking such good care of Zoe! Would definitely recommend.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, and now have my own dog and 2 cats who I adore and spoil. I love any excuse to be outside and going for walks, and even better with a pup or two! I live in Germantown in my house with a fenced-in yard, I have cared for senior dogs, raised a puppy, and managed multiple chronic illnesses with my cats - all worth it, and I am passionate about taking care of all animals. I have a hybrid work schedule, and work only a couple miles from my house, so I am consistently home and caring for my animals, and am happy to work with pet schedules that may need frequent check-ins! I have my own home, with a fenced in backyard. I walk my dog at least once a day, and am happy to accommodate different energy levels and needs

About: I am a dog owner available to watch dogs of any size. My home is cozy and comfortable. They can relax and play with the many toys I have here. I give every dog plenty of attention, affection and playtime so dogs feel comfortable while there owners are away! I’m the dog dad of the cutest French Bulldog who is super friendly! I’m able to short or long dog walks in the afternoon or evening. Let me know your dogs specific needs so I can accommodate! I have owned dogs my whole life and am a responsible pet owner. I’m happy to follow any rules you may need to keep your dogs routine as consistent as possible! I work full-time and am home by 2:30 on days I’m not off. Once I’m home boarding is my focus, I always look forward to playing and giving dogs I’m boarding plenty of attention. I’m able to be with your dog while using the bathroom, I have a yard but it’s not fenced so I walk them around the yard on the leash while going potty. My dog loves having friends around so your dog will feel comfortable during their stay!
