House Sitting In Washington Park

“Oli was very communicative, left our house cleaner than we left it, and our pup was so well-taken care of for the two weeks we were gone!! We could very much tell when we got home, and by the funny tidbits Oli sent us that showed how much she was in tune with Maddie! We would definitely use Oli again! And so appreciate how happy Maddie was and how clean everything was upon our arrival! When we came home in between her departing and us getting back, she even had calm music playing for Maddie! Oli is a gem! ❤️”

“Collette did a great job taking care of our two girls. We got multiple daily photos and small updates on how everyone was doing. They also made the girls comfortable and made them felt like we never left. Collette also made sure our house was clean and tidy before we returned. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve always been an animal person and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles, including my own ball python. I also have an Australian Shepherd who can be pretty anxious, so I’m used to being patient with nervous pets and helping them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve pet sat for both dogs and cats, including a cat with a more aggressive personality, so I understand the importance of respecting each animal’s boundaries and adapting to their individual needs. I love getting outside and taking walks, and I’m very familiar with the Richmond area. I also worked as a house cleaner for two years, so I’m comfortable being in clients’ homes and understand the importance of being respectful, trustworthy, and reliable. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe and happy while you’re away! I work about 20 hours a week as an esthetician and make my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. Because I set my own hours, I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I would love to fit pet care into my routine. I believe every pet is different, so I do my best to follow their normal routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping up with their feeding schedule and any specific instructions you provide. For cats staying in my home, I’ll provide a calm, safe environment where they can settle in at their own pace. Having lived with multiple cats of various personalities, I understand that some cats are social while others prefer their space, and I’m happy to accommodate both! I will stay in regular communication, providing updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing!

“Zander was great! He took great care of my two kitties and my house. :)”

“Sara was great with my dogs. I really appreciated how many photos she sent me while watching them and could see how well my anxious dogs were warming up to her.”

“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!”

Sam K.

“Mark did a fantastic job with our pup, Winky, who requires shots twice daily. He handled his care beautifully, communicated frequently, and left the house sparkling! We’re having come back very soon!”

Jeff H.

“Dogs seemed happy when I got home, and Randi was responsive and flexible. She house set so the dogs could sleep in their own beds but took them to her house to play with her pack during the day, which I'm sure they enjoyed.”

Colleen F.

“Celeste was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was communicative, thoughtful, and consistently kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared about my dog, and seeing how happy and comfortable my dog was in her presence meant everything to me. I could tell my dog felt safe, loved, and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Celeste again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“We hit the jackpot with Abigail as our house and dog sitter! She stayed at our home for 5 nights and handled our 3 quirky small dogs like an absolute pro, including our clingy puppy who wouldn’t let Abigail out of her sight! Since our dogs are used to someone working from home, having Abigail there with them was a total game changer. She kept us updated often, communicated about any issues that popped up, and sent the sweetest photos that made us smile (and relax!). This was our first time booking Abigail and we felt comfortable with her immediately upon meeting her just a few days prior to our trip. We came home to a happy house and 3 very well-loved dogs. Truly could not have asked for better care. We’d book her again in a heartbeat!”

Mary J.

“Dawn was absolutely wonderful! She kept us consistently updated with daily check-in photos of our pups, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I had a pretty detailed (and admittedly long!) list of instructions for our dogs, and she took the time to carefully review everything with patience and professionalism. She followed through on every detail and made sure our fur babies were not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and comfortable. It’s clear that Dawn truly loves what she does. Her communication was excellent, and she was always quick to respond if we had a question. Knowing our “dog kids” were in such capable, attentive hands made it so much easier for us to relax and fully enjoy our vacation. We’re so grateful for her care and would absolutely trust her with our pups again!”

“Rose is the best housesitter we've ever used from Rover! Responsible and great with communication! We had a small house/car emergency while she was housesitting, and she handled it perfectly. We will definitely be using her again.”

Liz M.

“Catherine was wonderful while I was out of town for a work trip. She communicated often and sent pictures, it was so reassuring! Will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with pets taught me how important patience, consistency, and affection are when it comes to quality pet care. When I was younger, I even helped train my childhood dog, which taught me responsibility, positive reinforcement, and how to understand animal behavior from an early age. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. As a teacher, I’m dependable, attentive, and patient, and I truly enjoy spending time outdoors going on walks and staying active with pets. My goal is always to make your pet feel happy, comfortable, and cared for like family. As a teacher currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the day. I’m able to dedicate extra time and attention to walks, drop-ins, playtime, and maintaining pets’ routines. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I genuinely enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and caring for animals. I love being able to use my summer break doing something rewarding while giving pets the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities as a pet sitter and walker. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and close attention to their individual needs and routines. I always prioritize safe walks, secure environments, and clear communication with owners so they feel confident their pets are in good hands. I’m dependable, responsible, and attentive, which helps me build trust quickly with both pets and their owners. My goal is to create a calm, caring environment where pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
