“This was my first time hiring a pet sitter and Kaylynn couldn’t have been more perfect. She kept me updated, consistently checked in regarding my travel plans to support with care, provided quality care and walks and snuggles to my furbabies. I am so grateful for Kaylynn and will definitely hire her again for future pet sitting needs.”

“Alex did a great job with our 2 pups. He took detailed notes at our meet and greet and followed their feeding and walking schedules carefully. Great communication and pics so we knew they were receiving good care. We’ve already booked Alex for our next time away”

Sally S.

“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 are so grateful for Isaiah! We had to leave town last minute, and he worked with us every step of the way. He came by beforehand to meet our dogs and has a lot of experience. One of our dogs is a new adoption, and she really only likes me, but he was able to get her to a place where she was comfortable and not stressed around him. That alone says a lot about how good he is. He was accommodating to whatever we needed during the sit and was respectful of our home. When we got back, our pets were happy, relaxed, and acting completely like themselves. We’ve had experiences in the past where you could immediately tell the level of care they received, and this was the opposite. It truly felt like they had been cared for the way we would care for them. Isaiah was that person. We will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future.”

“Laura was great! She took great care with Benji and was very communicative. She gave great updates and I can tell that Benji had a great time with her.”

Riel S.

“Janini did a fantastic job house sitting for our puppy while we were on vacation. Her communication was excellent and felt we were in good hands the whole time. She was great with sending updates, pictures and videos which gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend her to watch your furry friends.”

Zach R.

“Conrad took great care of Finn and held down the fort at our house for a week. He was communicative and kept a very consistent routine with photos for peace of mind ☺️we would recommend him to anyone in need and will keep him at the forefront of our minds going forward.”

Molly G.

“Nia did a great job house sitting for us during a weekend trip! She was easy to communicate with, asked all the right questions, and was very patient with our pup taking a moment to warm up. We came back to a happy dog and clean home. Definitely recommend!”

Shelly T.

“Emily was wonderful with my two large dogs, who have a lot of energy and have some dog reactivity to be managed, so they are not the easiest dogs to look after. I was very nervous about leaving them with a new person (first time using Rover!) but Emily had come recommended and I felt much more comfortable after speaking with her and doing a meet-and-greet. She kept me updated with photos and video throughout the stay and I returned to two very happy content pups. Can confidently recommend Emily as a conscientious and attentive sitter.”

Jen K.

“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!”

Devan C.

“Genevive watched my dog overnight while I was out of town. She was very sweet to my senior dog who is slow to warm up to strangers. Very happy with her care!”

Kelsey P.

“Carolyn is a wonderful pet/house sitter. This is the second time she’s taken care of our pup, and both times she did a great job. She’s very responsible and careful. She left our house clean and orderly. We hope to use her again.”

Becky W.

“Noel is amazing. She’s kind, attentive and connected easily with my dogs. She sent pictures and texts during the weekend and addressed their needs exceptionally well. Teddy & Pip were happy and relaxed when we got home.”

Patty D.

“Suzzie was wonderful! She took excellent care of our dogs while we were at the beach for a week. Suzzie sent daily updates and let us know how both dogs were doing. She also let us know when one of our dogs started having allergies- I really appreciate this level of communication. I highly recommend booking with Suzzie!”

Caroline V.

“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.”

About: Hi, my name is Gilbrith! I have lived in Richmond for 10 years and have recently graduated with a masters degree in mental health counseling. I work weekends at a puppy yoga studio - but am looking for more fuzzy companionship! Growing up, my home never had less than two dogs at a time, each of which were considered an equal member of the family. As a child, my parents instilled in me an immense love and respect for animals, and I was taught to anticipate and attend to our dogs' needs from a young age. Besides being surrounded by dogs my entire adolescence, I have been a pet sitter for friends, family members, roommates and colleagues for over 8 years. I have experience caring for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, and hamsters. I am comfortable with puppies and senior dogs, and have some experience with medication management and dogs with special medical needs. I am certified in pet first aid and CPR. I currently have a flexible schedule. I work 2 days a month at the yoga studio. I live a relatively quiet life and am a bit of a homebody, allowing me to spend more quality time with your pet! My top priority is making your pet feel as safe and relaxed as possible, and keeping them in their own home, and in their usual routine, is the best way I know to do this. I send updates to my clients several times throughout the course of the day, unless otherwise requested, sending pictures and letting you know how your pets are doing, while also leaving an open line of contact for any questions or concerns either party may have.
