“It was so wonderful to have Cathy Jo doing check ins for my 3 kitties. With one requiring food placement outside, I was worried, but Cathy Jo was perfect to accomplish my routine while I was away. She truly cares a lot for animals and sent daily texts and pictures which is SO comforting when you’re away. Will happily use her services again in the future.”

We had a meet and greet and my dog was immediately attached to her! She sent pictures with each visit and kept us updated on how our dog was doing! She was really the best! I will book with her again in the future 😊”
About: I have owned a dog my whole life, and have years of experience walking, and pet sitting for my friends and family. I love all dogs, small, medium and large, and will happily make adjustments for specific needs your dog may have! Whether its a leisurely stroll, play time or special care, I am dedicated to ensuring your pets feels happy, safe and loved! I am a University Student at the University of Richmond, and have availability each afternoon for pet care. This summer, I intend to stay in the Richmond area, and am open to pet care any time during the day! I am reliable and flexible, and will be able to fit into my clients schedule. I will also do whatever is necessary to cater to your pets' specific needs.
About: I grew up around dogs, caring for our family pets. As an adult, my own dogs are the highlight of my life. I spend my time trying to give dogs even a fraction of the love and devotion they give to us! I'm experienced with caring for all sizes and breeds of dogs from all walks of life. I'm happy to adapt to any needs, including training reinforcement, pacing, interacting or not interacting with other dogs/people etc. I also have experience with training puppies and caring for senior dogs(as I have one of my own). I work a full time corporate job with some flexibility on a case by case basis. Most of my availability is in the evenings and weekends, but I'm more than happy to discuss special requests! I'm happy to walk your dog through a familiar area in the neighborhood or even to a nearby dog park if desired. Happy to accommodate what makes you and your fur baby happy!

University Of Richmond pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mark spent a week stopping by to feed our two cats and play with them, and Mark did a great job! He’s a fantastic communicator, gives you informative write ups and takes fun pictures during his visits to really keep you assured that your pets are well taken care of. We’d use Mark again any day!
Carina has helped us multiple times and is super flexible to any changes and we would recommend her to anyone who is looking for great pet care!
McKenzie was amazing! Quick replies, great updates, and photos! From meet and greet to day of visit, she was awesome to work with!
Jessica was fantastic with providing clear communication, including updates, photos, and how our pupper was doing! Very pleasant experience and would recommend/have again in the future.
Arin is truly the best. We have older dogs with medication and special needs. Arin is so patient, kind, and professional. And the dogs love them too!
I’m so grateful for Audrina’s reliability, thoughtfulness and professionalism. I highly recommend her for your pet care needs!
Katie kept the kitties happy and healthy while we were gone! She kept us updated and was attentive for each visit. Would love to have her watch them again :)
Another amazing experience with Brittany. She responded to a very last minute request and was wonderful as always! Great updates, great photos and clear love and attention provided!
This is the 2nd time we have booked Dawn and she is nothing short of amazing. She took great care of my beloved cat, Bao. She was very communicative and responsive. She was punctual, sent pictures and text updates right on time! We highly recommend Dawn and will definitely book her again should the need arises!
Jessica was very attentive to our dog on her visits and always kept us updated with her moods, eating patterns, and energy level. We can really tell that she cares both for the pets and for the owners feeling at ease while she is watching their pets!
Ashley was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She provided great care for our older dog including giving daily meds while we were away.
Grace was timely and a great communicator about our pups! She took great care of them while we were gone. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!
Gabriela was wonderful she showed up each visit like clockwork and my babies were very well loved on and taken care of by her!
Meggie did such an incredible job with our pups! They warmed up to her right away and she clearly has extensive knowledge on how to handle many different personality and behaviors. So nice to have that peace of mind with your babies!!
Jo was so wonderful! My puppy can be stubborn with going to the bathroom in a timely manner, but Jo stuck with her. By the end of the first week, things went smoothly with no issue! I will definitely be asking her back in the future!
Hannah did great with our shy pup, Honey! Very reliable and great communication - will definitely be using her again. Thank you!
I cannot recommend Nyla highly enough as a dog sitter! From the very first visit, Nyla connected with my pup and instantly put both of us at ease. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring. Nyla goes above and beyond by sending me detailed updates, photos, and even little notes about how my dog is doing during her visits. It’s clear she loves what she does, and my dog absolutely adores her. It’s such a relief to know my pup is in such capable and loving hands when I can’t be there. I highly recommend her to anyone else needing a sitter. Thank you, Nyla, for your amazing care—you’ve truly made a difference!
