Pet Sitting Upper Shockoe Valley

“Meghan is great!! She helped us out last minute and took great care of our pets. She was communicative, thorough, and most importantly, kind to our pets, & we could enjoy our time away without worrying how they were doing. Highly recommend :)”

Rita D.

“Thane was great with Rat! They took the time to understand his personality and routine during our meet and greet which put me at ease. I’d definitely hire them again :)”

Kenna C.

“Holland was a pleasure to work with. My dog can be quite anxious, and Holland was wonderful—carefully following my instructions and showing real empathy and understanding for my dog’s needs.”

“This was our first experience using Rover, and we’re so happy we were able to book Maria and Luis to care for our cats over the Christmas holiday. From the time we contacted them to book, they were a pleasure to work with. They were responsive and flexible with our schedule, made instant friends with our very aloof cats, and kept us up to date on every visit. They’re fantastic sitters. Highly recommend!!”

Diane T.

“Robin is amazing! My cats loved her instantly and she was super flexible and communicative! Also so helpful that she was available during the holidays! Thank you Robin!”

Nicole B.

“Emily was awesome at looking after my cat son, Jason! He won’t stop talking about her, which is strange because he never spoke in full sentences prior to me being gone. Highly recommended!”

“Newish to RVA and first time using Rover. Alyssa was great with my 13yo kitty, Rizzo. She was professional, timely, and communicative. I loved receiving daily photos and updates while I was traveling. Knowing Alyssa was watching my baby gave me peace of mind. I would rebook Alyssa without hesitation!”

Brigitte K.

“Sidney is great with our puppy and was very accommodating to do a drop-in on short notice. Would recommend her to anyone looking for drop-ins and dog walks!”

Kyle D.

“Heather was great! She was communicative, responsive, and prompt when coordinating care instructions and when reaching out in response. She followed instructions and provided consistent and helpful updates. I loved getting updates and photos throughout the day. It helped give me peace of mind while being away for 12 hours. I absolutely recommend her, and look forward to a repeat booking in the future.”

Elizabeth S.

“Kade allows me to feel confident when I have to travel. I know my cat, Shep, is in good hands. Kade is reliable and provides timely updates after each visit.”

Irma A.

“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”

Delaney B.

“Nick’s care and communication have been absolutely phenomenal, and I truly appreciated it. I could tell Sebastian felt well loved and cared for through the pictures that he sent during my time away! This was my first time using Rover, and I'm sold. I'll definitely keep Nick in mind as I travel frequently, and we've had some family shifts so care is not always as readily available.”

Ashley W.

“Jonathan did a wonderful job taking care of my cats. He truly went above and beyond. I am so grateful I found him. He was always on time, took all the right pictures and communicated everything I needed to know in his notes. Thank you!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs for most of my life and already occasionally pet sit for friends and family. I used to work as a caretaker at a doggy daycare, and decided to continue pet care alongside my new job as it became such a fulfilling part of my life. I'm experienced with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and I'm experienced with a variety of other animals such as cats, fish, lizards, turtles, birds, and hermit crabs. My current work schedule follows the standard Mon-Fri 8-5, with most of my weekends and evenings open. Because of this, I'd be most suited for pets that are used to this schedule already. Otherwise, I try my best to stick to their current schedule for things like feeding and walks. I always feel comfortable meeting the parent(s) and pet before the booking. I can take care of all basic tasks and am very adaptable, patient, and reliable. I do my best to learn about each pet's little mannerisms and quirks so I can accommodate them the best I can while keeping them and your home safe. I want to make sure both you and your pet end up happy! I always ask that I'm given the pet's vet and an emergency contact as well, just in case.

“Emili was excellent; she took great care of our cat. She sent numerous photos and kept us updated on all interactions. She was very respectful of our cat, giving him the time and space he needed to acclimate. We will definitely use her services again!”

“Even on short notice Jeffrey is best!!! Cuddles and snacks galore, I’m not even sure they notice I’m missing!! Great communication and always so dependable!!”

Ryan C.

“Erica was a huge help to us watching our dog and looking after our garden!! From all the photos my dog looked so happy and comfortable. Would definitely book again!”

Anna M.

“Danielle did an excellent job with Otis, kept me updated with pics and videos from her visits. He's not always the quickest to warm up but seemed to take to her on her first visit! Came home to a happy, healthy boy. Would definitely book her to look after him again!”

Andrew T.

“Abby did an amazing job. My cat, Spice, absolutely loved her. Abby followed directions perfectly and gave so much information when doing her check ins. Great job”

Rhonda G.

“So glad we connected with Elijah! He is so good to our kitties and our home and we absolutely trust him to take care of our boys while we are away. We highly recommend him!!”
