Personalized care for your dog or cat - Richmond

“Caitlin was great! We needed help last minute and she worked so well with my timeline! She’s very fast at responding and Bud had a blast with her human and fur family! We’ll be back again!”

“Matthew(Kevin) was very prompt with communication about the overnight visit. He listened carefully to information about my two senior dogs and asked questions. He immediately engaged with my dogs when we arrived. He provided pictures and updates daily which was really nice. He took care of all items brought for the dogs and followed care instructions thoroughly. Both of the dogs seemed very happy and well cared for when we picked them up the next day. I would not hesitate to use his services again and would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of any type of care that he offers! Great experience!”

About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart! I currently have two cats of my own and have been caring for cats for over five years. During that time, I’ve learned that every cat has a unique personality—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, enrichment activities, and administering medications when needed. As a nursing student, I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. Whether your cat is energetic and playful, shy and independent, or needs a little extra TLC, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pet with someone else, and I’ll treat your cat with the same love and patience I give my own. 🐾💕

About: I have owned cats since I was little. One thing I can say is that cats are amazing and easy. All my cats ever wanted to do was cuddle and play which is the best and most relaxing time.

“This was my first time using a pet sitter. Matthew was great! He came to my house twice a day, took excellent care of my pet fur buddies, even holding them on his lap. 😊. He sent pictures and an update on every visit. I hope he would be willing to help me out again!”

About: I’ve had cats since I was very young. I’ve had my fair share of litter training, brushing, and dealing with scratches. I currently have 4 inside and 2 outside cats not including 5 inside kittens that I care for so I definitely don’t shy away from cats!

About: I have always loved cats. I’ve grown up taking care of my own since I was young and I absolutely adore them. I could sit and play all day if I could.

“This is my first time booking with Tayla and I would book her 1000 times again! She took wonderful care of Rubí while I was out of town and she was really calm when I came home rather than being anxious like when I’ve left her with people in the past. Highly recommend, she did a meet and greet with me and Rubí a week beforehand, communicated really well, sent lots of pics, which I loved, and even bought her extra snacks! Definitely recommend! I only booked her for my cat but I would absolutely book her for my dog as well.”

About: I have grown up around pets, including dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, etc...but my most favorite are DOGS 🐕 of course! (We can all agree...) I have an affinity and a knack for "winning them over" and LOVE to talk to them, understand their behavior, read their signals, and act accordingly. I am extremely intuitive and high-energy. The combination of these two makes me ideal for dog & cat sitting, because when they're with me, they're going to have fun and be understood! 🐾 I also babysit (children) quite often, so I completely understand that a pet is your CHILD. I have utmost patience and respect for these furry children. Parent certified and approved over here 🙌🏼 Also, it’s worth noting, I communicate and I send pics. There's no reason to be out of the loop. #pleasebecool If you have questions, 🗨 just ask. I LOVE spending TIME with dogs, taking them on quality walks and runs, 🏃🏼‍♀️ or even on special car trips to parent-approved areas! 🚗 ☀️ As long as they are in my care I will make sure they get a lot of love and exercise, and YOU will get lots of picture updates about the fun they're having. I look forward to caring for your beloved friend! Send me a message and we can set up a time to meet-n-greet and further discuss your needs. 🐾 Some of the following will be: Is your dog potty trained?  What commands do they respond to? 
 Any allergies?  Any behavioral issues? I’m currently working part-time, and dogsitting is one of my ‘gigs’ so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I work online from home mostly, but if I’m on the go, I am never gone longer than ~ 3 hours. ⏰ If allowed, I am more than happy to take your fur baby with me. I usually say “if mom or dad are going on vacation, you get a vacation too!” so they are free to tag along and adventure with me on errands, to the beach, or to a friend’s house if they are friendly and so-inclined. I love giving dogs the opportunity to socialize, but only if it’s allowed. 🐕 I prefer to house-sit in the dog’s familiar environment, because they are so much more relaxed in their own home versus if they are introduced to a new place with unfamiliar smells, etc. I have plenty of referrals and recommendations to attest to my trustworthiness. Basically, I'll treat your home like a stellar AirBnb hotel maid guest, sans cleaning fee 🧼

“Lakyn is AMAZING! Goes above and beyond every time with Bear... I can always tell the days she walks him because he is in such good spirits when we get home. He also is getting his strength back in his right leg from a previous injury with the walks twice a week. So grateful to have Lakyn and her husband to help us with our pup.”

About: I have had pets in my home nearly my entire life and been trusted by many family and friends to care for their babies as my own. I love animals so much and will be sure to treat them with the best care and attention possible! Your baby will be spoiled, loved, and cared for exceptionally well the during their time with me! I devote tons of attention to them to make sure they’re comfortable and happy and well taken care of as if they were my own baby. I am respectful and attentive to your space, and make sure to follow rules so that your babies get the care and love they are used to. Your pets will be loved and pampered in my care.

“Ashlyn has always been very good with instructions and communicative. She has done well with both my dog and cat. We have asked for her services at least 4-5 times now, and never an issue. Gives great rover cards as well.”

About: I am a pet lover myself. I have had experience with many family/friends’ pets in the past including feeding and walking while they’re absent. My main experience begins with my golden doodle/blue heeler mix. I am equipped with experience dealing with high-energy dogs that hate to be on a leash and are in need of a big area for play time . Second comes my black Labrador retriever. He is a timid, large-for-his-age dog that is afraid of almost of everything. In which case, I carry him to quiet areas for walks. To me, pet care is by far the most rewarding and stress-reliever anyone could have. It provides time to enjoy the environment without feeling pressured. A fluffy partner always makes walks/caring better as well. From my experience, the best way is to always give them an area where they are free to play around! And also taking time to provide them company as well

About: 🐾 Growing up in Mississippi, animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and currently have 5 fur babies of my own. I was raised around German Shepherds and have extensive experience with large, intelligent breeds that require consistency, patience, and confidence. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and care, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. In addition to my love for animals, I’m currently a nursing student, which has strengthened my attention to detail, responsibility, and commitment to providing quality care. I understand how important it is to follow routines, monitor, and communicate clearly with pet parents. I know leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision, and I don’t take that trust lightly. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care and treat every pet like one of my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m used to staying organized and managing responsibilities, which helps me ensure every pet receives the care and attention they deserve. Since pet care is already a regular part of my life, adding your furry family member to my routine feels natural and enjoyable. Safety is always my top priority. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, and any special needs before care begins. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise requirements, and household rules. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and closely supervise pets during walks, playtime, and outdoor activities. As a nursing student, I’m detail-oriented and comfortable monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Matthew was so helpful and let out our little guy while we stayed at a hotel due to the ice storm! He sent lots of pictures and Weller had a great time with him!”

About: I’ve taken care of my families and my own dog for 5 years now. I mostly deal with larger breed dogs but I’m also open to smaller breeds as well. I often take care of my sisters 3 dogs while she’s out of town as well as my own dog that I care for full time! I’m fairly flexible when it comes to caring for your fur babies. Just let me know what time and I’ll see what I can work out for you! I’m also open to overnights on the weekends if needed! I have a large years with a line I can attach to the collar so your pup can freely roam while still staying in the yard and away from the street. I have a dog that can keep yours some company as well as a few cats that aren’t too afraid of dogs.

“Tayla helped me in a last minute pinch! She responded very promptly and super early and was very willing to help me walk my dog while I had to do a longer-distant day trip, suddenly. Once I finally made it back home I knew my pup wasn’t stressed bc she had been taken care of. She was very relaxed and happy. Tayla also sends pics to let you know your animals are safe and happy. Thank you so much, Tayla!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old! We have a German Shepard and mini poodle. I really enjoy dog sitting and getting to know and love your pet! I’m currently working full time, in the city of New Albany. I have a pretty flexible job, so I am able to leave when needed! My home is next door to my job, so I am able to check on dogs who are in my home at anytime. I am available any time on the weekends. I enjoy watching pets. I will be sure the pet does not mess up the home and will ensure that we will play together. If there is a fenced in yard, we will play there and go on walks.

“Caitlin was great! We needed help last minute and she worked so well with my timeline! She’s very fast at responding and Bud had a blast with her human and fur family! We’ll be back again!”
