Pet Sitting Westlake Hills

About: Hi! I’m Eliza, I recently finished grad school at VCU and am doing some freelance creative work currently, so I have a very flexible and available schedule to help with your pets! I've loved animals my whole life and have grown up with dogs. When I was younger, I helped raise and train one of our dogs from puppyhood, where I learned how to care for a dog's daily needs. Four years ago, I adopted my first cat, and caring for her has given me plenty of experience with feline care as well. Whether it's walking dogs, dropping in for feedings, playing with energetic pets, scooping litter and refreshing water, or just keeping pets company, I'll care for your animals as if they were my own. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to adapt to whatever helps them feel comfortable and cared for. I am post grad school and currently doing freelance work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am very free in the afternoons typically. I will take extreme care in caution when in people’s homes. As someone who has used this as well for my own cat, I understand the fear with letting people in your home. I can assure you I will treat your home with the same respect I would want my own.

“Morgan took great care of my beagles. She was great at communicating and flexible when I changed my trip at the last minute.”

About: I've been volunteering at the Richmond Animal League for over a year and have previous experience working at shelters and dog daycares. I've always loved caring for animals; I used to volunteer at the SPCA when I was younger and I have two dogs of my own that I enjoy taking on walks and playing fetch with in the backyard. I have a part-time job that I work 3-4 days a week (mostly evenings). Other than that, schedule is pretty flexible! I'm available throughout the week, as well as weekends. I'm more interested in drop-in visits and dog walking, but I'll be able to petsit for as long as you need with enough notice! For pet-sitting, I'll be able to stay and take care of your pets for as long as you need me to be there. I can stay all day and even overnight if needed, or just check in periodically throughout the day! I'll carefully follow instructions given on feeding, walks/exercise, morning and bedtime routines, medications, and just overall entertainment. I'm great with dogs of all kinds of energy, whether they want to be active all day long, or just snuggled up on the couch!

“Kay was a fantastic help and super communicative. I really appreciated all of the notes and photos taken while we were away from our two cats and never stressed once about how they were doing. I would highly recommend Kay to anyone looking for a cat sitter!”

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.

“Thank you, Shelby for your professionalism and for taking such good care of our fur babies! We couldn’t ask for more.”

“Fergus (our cat) loves Virginia. He never purrs for anyone the way he purrs for her. When we got home today after being away for several days, my husband heard Fergus meowing through the door before we entered and said to me, "I pretty sure he's meowing 'Virginia! Virginia!' He's going to be so disappointed that it's us!" Virginia is great with Fergus, very kind to us, and has been just a perfect pet sitter.”

“Margaret went above and beyond when caring for River. My smoke detector was going out due to an apparent dead battery or something and she made every effort to help the situation. Her communication was great and I felt very comfortable knowing that my cat was in her hands ! Thank you Margaret.”

Haley D.

“Sidney is great! Super friendly and not bothered by my wacky dogs and their little issues. She arrived right on time and sent cute pics! Will definitely book with her again.”

“Nina did an outstanding job! I could tell that Maya was happy during our 9 day vacation! She sent lots of photos and updates!! I’m very happy to have Nina sit Maya again!!”

“Kyra was incredible with my dog biscuit. He can be really particular and stubborn but Kyra was so good with him. Kyra was very great at sharing how the visit went and how he was doing. I had a few specific things I needed her to do during this visit and she was so accommodating and made me feel so much better about not being there. Will absolutely be using her again.”

Shayna H.

“He was amazing with my cat! He played with him and sent me many pictures. He followed all my instructions and kept close contact with me. I felt so much better while I was on vacation knowing my kitty was being taken care of!”

“Kylie was so wonderful with my sweet senior kitty Marcie! Knowing Marcie was well cared for and getting lots of playtime and attention made it easier to enjoy my time away from home.”

“Holland is an excellent, professional, and communicative sitter. She went the extra mile, and on short notice, and I would rebook and recommend her services to anyone.”

“We had a great experience with Marina! She is reliable, caring, and wonderful with our dog. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we work such long hours. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
