Pet Sitting Virginiatown

About: I was always in touch with dogs since early age, at my parents house. Nowadays I have one cat , Jojo. She is 8 years old and it is my baby. Jojo appeared at my apartment someday and when taken to to the vet I found out that she was a street cat and was beat really hard by another animal. I took care of her and could never live without her anymore. Besides loving them with all of my heart, my pets safety was always my priority and I take it really serious when taking care of these babies. Currently I work from home so I am lucky to have a lot of time to play with Jojo and be close to her on a daily basis. So if you are at work, traveling or for some reason need any assistance with your pet, I will be glad to be help! I am pretty flexible as I stay at home, so I am sure we can make all the arrangements to accommodate your pet when you need it the most! I live in an apartment and don’t have a backyard. We just have a small patio we like to take our pet pretty much everyday for some time. We live near to parks as well. At home now we just have our kitten, Jojo.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life—from growing up with family pets to caring for my own as an adult—giving me years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of their needs, behavior, and personalities. I’m a true dog-person and absolutely love being around them—they bring so much joy and companionship to everyday life. Sadly, I’ve had two of my own dogs pass away after living long, happy lives, but through that, I’ve gained valuable experience in providing the special care and attention older dogs often need. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. 💞 First time using Rover? Use this link before you book for $20.00 off: https://www.rover.com/sit/rubyb72826 Furthermore, I’m a Registered Nurse (who stays home full-time with my kids now)… however, I have experience administering medications to pets and will ensure your doggie gets any needed medicine while you’re away. I love caring for humans and pets alike, and would love to walk and/or board your sweet fur-babe while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom with a lovable Shih Tzu of my own, caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day and already spend lots of time walking, playing, and giving attention to my dog—so welcoming your furry friend into our routine comes naturally and with lots of love. I intentionally keep my bookings limited so each dog gets plenty of individual attention and feels like part of the family. At our home, every fur-babe is welcomed like a member of our family. Upon arrival, they’ll be given time to explore and settle in comfortably, at their own pace. I strive to create a warm, stress-free environment filled with cozy nooks, comfy beds, and plenty of playtime in our large back yard. The neighborhood also has a large park I can walk them to for some exercise and extra sunshine. I’ll ensure they have a familiar routine and are given lots of attention, from gentle belly rubs, to snuggles on the couch. I love sending photos and updates to keep you connected! You can rest assured knowing your pet is happy, safe, and surrounded by love while you’re away. Pets can sleep in an enclosed area with blankets and a bed or in a crate, if preferred.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, helping family, friends, and neighbors with feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, potty breaks, check-ins, and keeping them company. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines such as giving treats, cleaning up after pets, providing exercise, playing fetch, giving them attention and affection, and making sure they are comfortable and safe in their home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routine, and needs, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable and secure. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and able to recognize when a dog may need space, extra attention, or reassurance. I’m currently a part-time college student looking for a part-time position that fits around my class schedule. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to balance school, work, and pet-care responsibilities. I’m available to provide pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and other pet-care services around my school and work commitments. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents in advance to discuss their pets’ routines, needs, and preferences to ensure I provide reliable, consistent, and loving care. I’m committed to treating every pet with patience, kindness, and the same love and attention I would give my own. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have a safe and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I take pet safety seriously and always follow their normal routines, feeding instructions, medication directions, and exercise needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision while making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and will treat their pets and belongings with the same care I would want for my own.

About: I am very attentive and have had dogs myself my entire life. I love pets and will focus very hard on making sure yours pets get the best care. I just graduated college and now living at home. My schedule is very open and I am willing to help out families and pets out whenever! I have had dogs my entire life and have learned they need a lot of attention and care. But I will immediately fall in love with any pet.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with five years of hands-on pet-care experience and four cats of my own. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, walking, playing, cleaning litter boxes, and following each pet’s normal routine. I can also trim cats’ nails and brush both cats’ and dogs’ teeth. I’m patient with nervous animals and understand that every pet needs time to feel safe and comfortable with someone new. I also volunteer with the SPCA, which has given me even more experience around animals with different personalities and needs. Pet care fits very well into my weekly schedule. I’m available throughout the day on Sundays and Mondays, as well as Friday and Saturday evenings. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship while following your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, grooming, and household routines. I keep doors and gates secure, maintain clean food and water bowls, clean litter boxes thoroughly, and give each pet the level of attention or personal space they prefer. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Mikhalia is just amazing!! Firstly, I was impressed and comforted that she took the time to meet me in person even before I made a booking. She is personable, friendly and my cat Siri took to her immediately. She was super accommodating even though my schedule changed a few times and didn't hesitate to change the bookings. I received photos and updates of my cats during each visit and she followed all the instructions to the tee. I could tell my kitties had a lovely time with Mikhalia, and I'm so glad to have found a trusting cat sitter so close to where I live. I would definitely book her again and she has my full recommendation for any one looking for a great pet sitter!”

“We had Nicole watch our two cats (one a new playful kitty and the other an older cat who was quite sad after losing her companion weeks before) for 5 days as well as do some watering in our gardens. She and her partner did a fantastic job. We were worried leaving the cats but she was easy to communicate with, sent regular updates, and took care of everything that was asked of her. We would definitely use her again to care for our cats!”

“Shannon took such good care of our dog while we were away on vacation! She checked on him 3 times a day and always at the scheduled time. She walked him 2-3 times a day, sent us numerous pictures, and frequently kept us updated on how he was doing. She made us feel confident that he was being well taken care of and given lots of attention, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying. We would definitely have Shannon watch him again the next time we go out of town!”

About: Hi! I’m Carisse, a lifelong animal lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets just like they’re my own. I’ve taken care of my brother’s dog aka my nephew dog (he is now 15!), my other brother’s dog and cat ,and several friends/family friend’s cats and dogs — each with their own personalities, needs, and quirks. I know how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for when their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or making sure they stick to their feeding schedule, I’m happy to provide the same love and attention they’re used to at home. I have taken care of these furry friends from a young age all the way to senior, some requiring medication schedules and strict routines. If you’re looking for a dependable sitter who treats your pets like family, I’d love to meet you and your fur babies. *Note* I provide exclusive, individualized care for your pet, as I do not own any pets of my own and accept only one dog-sitting client at a time to ensure undivided attention. I currently work full time, with my shift ending between 3pm-4pm most days. I’m available after then during the week and weekends with a little more flexibility. My priority is to provide the same care and comfort you would, so your pets feel safe, happy, and right at home. My backyard is fenced and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Viviana! I’m a 30 year old corporate professional and am home for the majority of the day due to my remote job. I live a pretty quiet, low key lifestyle as I’m engaged and have no kids. I love going on walks, reading, painting, writing and needlepointing. Pet sitting feels like a natural extension of how I already spend my time, and I’m happy to create a calm, consistent environment while you’re away. I’ve had my two dogs since college (both now seniors) and while they have very different temperaments I love them both so much. I’m experienced with anxious/ high energy / reactive dogs. My boy, Gilmore, was a shelter puppy and my first experience with this type of personality. My girl, Sophie is a lap dog personified and could sleep/ cuddle all day. They both have been with me for 10+ years. I’m home for the majority of the day due to my remote job. Walks, feeding schedules, medication, routines etc. can easily be followed as requested. I can send over updates/ photos throughout the day and can also take care of various small household tasks like mail, plants, and trash if needed.

“Thank you so much, Meghan! You’re always so wonderful, we love working with you. Sorry for my delay on sending this. Thank you again!! Adam”

“Madeline was an amazing sitter for our two cats! She was reliable, communicative, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. One of our cats requires medication, and she handled that with care and confidence, which gave us great peace of mind. She also went above and beyond by spending time outside with our cats so they could safely enjoy their courtyard time—something they really love. It meant so much to know they were getting that extra attention while we were away. We had two very happy, well-cared-for kitties. I would absolutely book Madeline again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter!”

About: Mindful and attentive former pet care worker and dog walker with multiple years walking, training, and nurturing dogs, cats, and wild animals. My record is impeccable and without incident - this is because I understand the importance of attending to a client's every need, constantly prioritize safety in what is, by nature, a volatile field, and have a deep appreciation for the behavioral needs and individual personalities of the pets I take care of and connect with. I love dogs. I've loved them all my life. And I understand that the second I walk into your home, leash in hand, I am responsible for the well being a loved and dear member of your family - and I treat them as if they were my own. I am currently caring for my grandmother while she undergoes treatment for terminal lung cancer. Otherwise, my responsibilities are all remote, and I can be present for your pets day and night. I take health and safety concerns as a necessity, and will make sure to attend to your specific needs and risk factors. I have walked packs of dogs through LA and Manhattan during rush hours and have never had a single incident occur.

“Brandy was the best Petsitter ever! She gave both my rat terrier Annie and my kitty Lucy lots of love and attention, the pictures she took say a thousand words. She is the first sitter I’ve had who truly cares about Lucy and understands my often shy and quiet cat. They were both very happy when we came home, and were obviously well taken care of. The best thing were the detailed notes Brandy sent me, telling me what they did together and how things were going at each visit. I’ll definitely hire her again!”
