House Sitting Vcu

“As always, my boys and my house were confidently in the best of hands with Mallory. Both my dog and my cat absolutely love Mallory and my house is always under exceptional care. Seriously couldn’t recommend a better sitter.”

“Emily is terrific. She did such a great job watching our pup. Our dog experiences pretty bad separation anxiety and typically doesn’t eat all his meals when we are away - but with Emily he did! She was absolutely wonderful and we will most definitely be reaching out to her again!! She sent us pictures daily, kept the house tidy and was simply great to have. Thanks again Emily for the great experience!”

“Douglas was such a great pick to hang with our pups and care for our home while we were gone. Our pups like to keep things interesting and Douglas’s patience with them is not only appreciated, but is admired, especially when it came to caring for our senior dog. We would gladly welcome Douglas back to our home, and I know the pups would love that too.”

“Thank you Marissa! Figgy was well cared for and were so thankful to be able to leave her at home instead of at a kennel. Marissa left the house spotless and was extremely flexible when our plans changed.”

“my dogs loved Collette and were happy and healthy when I came home. My home was left when she left as it was when I left for my trip, which means a great deal to me. Highly recommend.”

“Kendall was beyond friendly and responsible. She was extra caring communicating with us before we booked with her, sending her ETA when she came for a meet and greet when we were looking for a house and dog sitter. Kendall is the perfect house sitter as she is self employed and therefore can do a lot of work from home. She let us know exactly when she had outside commitments such as business meetings so we knew our pup would have plenty of company while we were gone. She also asked many questions to make sure she knew exactly what we were hoping for in terms of care. We received many updates and photos while we were gone and Kendall sounded like she generally enjoyed everything about taking care of our pup. Kendall left our home in spectacular condition. Thank You Kendall!”

“Emily was AMAZING as a house sitter! She was so great with our kitty Saber, even when he had some accidents. She honestly went above and beyond to keep the rest of the house clean. She was very responsive and detail-oriented. Cannot recommend more!!!”

“Ezra is wonderful. He took care of our dog Rev very well, and kept us updated while we were away. We came back to a clean house and a happy dog. We love that he took Rev for a hike and also to meet some people for socializing. I would definitely think of him again when we have other trips out of town.”

About: I've been pet sitting since I was a little kid and grew up with dogs and cats, and since I work from home full-time, I have a flexible schedule. I love getting outside for walks and tend to walk 10k steps daily, so if you have an active dog, I’m your girl! I don’t currently have pets of my own, so I love getting to spend quality time with yours! My ultimate goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home from 9am - 5pm, so I’ll be very available during the week. I have set evening plans on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but I have no standing commitments all other days of the week. I will follow whatever protocol you have for your pets. Whether that’s a specific routine, individual needs, and/or keeping you up to date with pics / messages. I want you to feel like your furry friends are in good hands!

“I think Sabrina did I wonderful job with my dog Apollo! She was good about sending text messages and pictures, and always responded quickly when I reached out. She had a great attitude, and was very good with providing firm corrections to Apollo as needed. (As I was getting ready to leave for my trip, I could hear her downstairs gently, but firmly correcting him, which is sometimes needed, because he's a young Rottweiler Labrador mix, and while he knows his commands, he tends to forget when he's excited. He seemed to absolutely love her, and we will definitely reach out to use her again when needed! Hoping she stays in this area for a while!!!”

“Maggie did a great job watching our dog Audubon for the weekend. In addition to being very sweet and playing with Aud, she was proactively, timely, and followed Aud’s schedule to a tee. We got lots of updates and photos from Maggie and she left our house just as she found it! Would absolutely book again.”

“Marina took excellent care of my German shepherd, Keisel, and my staffy/English bulldog mix, Rosie. They both seemed happy and Marina had great communication. Highly recommend.”

About: I prefer to go by Cameron (he/him). Since I can remember I have been caring for dogs and cats of various breeds, ages, and abilities. When I was in middle school my mom became involved in The Southern Cross Boston Terrier Rescue and we brought home many dogs to foster and officially adopt. Throughout my childhood I cared for blind dogs, deaf dogs, and dogs that struggle with seizure disorders. Now that I'm all moved out I have a long haired four year old cat named Fester. I'm helping my roommate raise her kitten and coparenting Benny my partner's Boston Terrier from the SCBTR. I'm currently returning to the workforce after recovering from top surgery so my schedule is very open. While I don't have a car at the moment I do have a bike plus I live in a convenient place to catch the bus. I don't currently have any fall trips planned so I should be here in Richmond area for quite a while. I don't take pets home with me to care for them. I am more than happy to come to you or take your pets to park based on what you would prefer. I am happy to feed, play with, and walk your pet as well as administer any extra care they may need.

“Kira was amazing with our beagles. Kept in touch, took care of everything, and treated them like her own. We were so pleased with how well she cared for Luna and Neko and look forward to booking with her again. Excellent sitter and Luna and Neko’s new best friend!”

“Mitch was great! He took good care of my dog while I was out of town and was easy to communicate with. He shared updates while I was gone and I would definitely recommend him and use his services again in the future!”

“Alex was amazing - very professional! He was very attentive to our wishes and instructions, excellent communicator, punctual and all the things you would expect from hiring a pro. The house was left clean and he genuinely seems to care for our pets and enjoy their company. Got photos every day and followed our complicated medication schedule. The dogs seemed happy and healthy when we returned! We HIGHLY recommend!”

About: I am a young professional with two orange cats of my own! I've been watching animals for my family, friends, and neighbors since I was a kid; I love cats and dogs of all colors, breeds, shapes, and sizes. I'm currently between jobs, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups or satisfy your unique care needs! I'm lucky to have a flexible schedule, so I strive to accommodate others' schedules to the best of my ability. Safety is paramount for me. As a pet-owner myself, I strive to meet the needs of each pet without putting them at risk of harm or distress.

“Andrew did an excellent job house sitting our dog and cat. It was the first time my husband and I had hired a house sitter and we very much appreciated the work and time he put into putting us at ease. We found him to be trustworthy, honest, very responsive, and kind. I was also grateful to see that he understands both cat and dog behavior (an uncommon characteristic, I've found!) and let our fur babies get used to him in their own time. I hope to book with him again in the future!”

About: I’ve been watching, and caring for dogs, cats, and puppies growing up. My parents were always at work and it was my responsibility to make sure they were looked after. The past couple years my senior cat had a thyroid disorder and needed me to crush pills, groom, and assist physically. I helped train and care for both my dogs when they were puppies until adulthood, as well as a ferret. I’ve watched dogs for friends and family throughout the years and always enjoyed it. Im currently a full time student at VCU. I’m available all day Saturday, sunday, Friday, and on mondays till 5:30. I don’t have a car but I’m comfortable walking and taking the bus within 2 miles. I enjoy spending time with all types of animals and will be sure to give your pet all the love while your away. I’m a very respectful house guest and I’ll treat your space and pets with the same care I treat my own.

About: I have personal experience taking care of (walking, bathing, feeding, enrichment, training) all animals and love to do it. Professionally, I’ve worked at doggy daycares, other dog-walking and pet-sitting apps, and volunteered to assist with puppy births. My experience is mostly with dogs; however, I have taken care of cats and more! I work a full-time job, but my hours are flexible which means I have days I am in-office or at home and I do not work weekends. It is very easy for me to leave work to provide pet care and return later that day or make-up hours later in the week. I am very gentle with animals and the safety of pets and those around them comes first - always. I plan to keep the pet comfortable and enriched. It is very easy to follow a schedule and routine for medications, bathroom breaks, bedtimes, and playtime. I pay close attention to details and take the time to learn pet behaviors to ensure they get the best care.
