House Sitting Whitcomb

“Maria was very communicative and did not hesitate to ask any questions which made me feel more comfortable her first time house/dog sitting! She left the place spotless, would have never known she was there! Won't hesitate to hire again.”

“She is amazing! Our dog was obviously pampered and much more relaxed than usual when we get back. I’ve never been so confident that she was treated well and our house was exceptionally well cared for as well. She even taught our old dog a new game. 100% recommended.”

“Marissa did an absolutely fabulous job of taking care of our two "elderly" greyhounds for a week. She made them comfortable and secure by sticking to their routine and gave them lots of love. She sent pictures and gave us regular updates and was very responsive to any questions that we had so we never had to wonder what was going on. I would highly recommend Marissa!!”

“Kaity was such a great companion for Kiki and Lenny. She was responsive to messages, came for a meet and greet and the arranged time, and took great care of our dogs. We will definitely book her the next time we are out of town!!”

About: I grew up in a multi-cat household and now own 5 cats between my parents and myself! There's no kitty I can't handle - from super social, to shy, to very sassy, I'm known to be able to form a bond with every cat that comes into my care. I'm also a lover of all animals, I owned fish and lizards and have spent a lot of time helping walk and take care of my family's dogs. My animals are my life, and I've been on Rover for almost four years now! I also have a lot of experience working for Happy Cats Concierge LLC in Reston, VA, where I provided a range of services for cats of various quantities, ages, and personalities. Whether your furry friend needs a playmate, cuddle buddy, bodyguard, or just someone to stop by for food and medicine - I got you! My schedule is open and my day-to-day is flexible! Any specific dates I’m unavailable will be reflected on my calendar. Please message me with any other scheduling questions. Inside, outside, leash or no leash, crate, etc., I will honor the owner's wishes for where their furry friend needs to be spending their time. I value consistent routines and attentiveness while your pet is in my care. All of my services will be based in the client's home or neighborhood.

“Carla was amazing. I am a new pet parent who just rescued my pup a little over a month ago. I was SO NERVOUS to leave him for the first time. Carla sent so many pictures of my baby and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was incredibly flexible and accommodating when I had to reschedule my trip due to a family member getting covid. Carla was very communicative throughout the process and I will absolutely trust her to watch my baby again.”

“Jonatan was an excellent house sitter for our dog and two cats! Very communicative and the animals took to him immediately. Highly recommend hiring Jonatan for your pet needs!”

“Kristen was wonderful! She took excellent care of Pepper and Merlin while we were away. She was attentive to their routines, followed all medication instructions, and made sure they received plenty of attention and quality time. Communication was great throughout, and she kept me informed, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She even went above and beyond by bringing in packages that arrived while we were away. Most importantly, I came home to two happy pups! I would absolutely book with Kristen again and highly recommend her!”

About: I worked for a pet sitting company (Woofies) for about a year. I have worked with all different types of dogs and cats. I have also worked with hamsters, fish and guinea pigs. I average about 8-12 visits a week and about 40 a month. I am extremely flexible and reliable as well. I have had regular clients for months on end and made bonds with lots of pets. I am currently very available and willing to work around many schedules. I am used to planning day around visits and making times for the pets. I am used to house rules and regulation. I avoid areas specified and work hard to gain client trust. I follow all tasks listed and try to get to know the pet as well. I can do meals, medications, walks/potty breaks, playtime, light cleaning and more! I follow the instructions given by the client at all times.

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.

“Celeste was great! They house sat for me and took care for my cats, sent me pictures and made sure they got attention, fed, and cleaned the litter box. Would definitely recommend them!”

“Sidney was so gentle and loving to our shy kitty! Bambino took to her immediately and when we came home, he was a happy clam as if we hadn’t even been away! We would 100% recommend her and will be booking her again for our future getaways 🥰. Thank you so much, Sidney!”

About: Hi there! I’m new to the Richmond area and can’t wait to explore the city, preferably with a furry friend (or two) by my side. I’ve been the go to pet sitter for family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors since 2007. Whether it’s playful pups, snuggly seniors, or quirky cats, I’ve cared for them all and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. • Super flexible schedule • Happy to stay in your home (I’m neat, respectful, and come with glowing references) • Excellent communicator and completely trustworthy with both pets and homes • Big believer in belly rubs, treat breaks, and whatever makes your pet happiest I can’t host pets in my own home but, I’m more than happy to travel or housesit wherever your fur baby feels most at home. I’d love to meet Richmond’s locals and give them all the love and care they deserve. My days are wide open and pet sitting is my favorite way to fill them! I am totally flexible and always happy to see a fur best friend! While I can’t offer boarding in my home (my cat kindly lets me live there), I’m happy to care for your pets in your home. I treat every house with respect and every pet with the same love, compassion, and excitement as if they were my own.

“I appreciate that when Aubrey came to meet me and my dog in advance she took notes and asked a lot of questions. My dog was obviously well taken care of from the photos, video, and updates I received. Also, I am completely blown away that upon returning my home is cleaner than I left it. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Aubrey again to care for my energetic, reactive (yet perfect?‍♀️) dog.”

“Madelaine was amazing with our 2 pups!!! They did a sleep over one night and they were so comfortable with her, they both slept through the night and were happy smiling pups when we got home from our weekend away. We were so happy, we have booked Madelaine for our next week away. 10/10 recommend!”

“Sydney was great! She took great care of Dakota and the house. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be reaching out in the future.”
