House Sitting Whitcomb

About: My name is Nick and I am a teacher in Chesterfield county looking to use my love for animals as a way to make some extra money over the summer. I have had dogs and cats growing up my whole life and currently have a dog named Bagel and a cat named Friday. I also have lots of experience dog/cat sitting for friends and family over the years ever since I was in high-school. I am a teacher so I won’t be working during the summers so I will have unlimited time during the day/night to take care of your pets and their needs! Once the school year starts I can do weekends and afternoon/nights! I have a lot of energy myself so if your pets love to get exercise/play around I am very up for that. I also try to be very thorough with the pet care instructions and will ask questions/for clarification to ensure I am giving your pet the best care as possible.

“Sara was great! We left our Nailah home for a night while we went on a trip and she took good care of her. She sent pictures as well as updates while we were gone and our Nailah really seemed to love her. Would highly recommend 10/10”

“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.”

“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!!”

“Thane was great! Our pups and cat were well taken care of and our house was just as we left it! Communication was great and loved all of the pictures that were sent as well - would definitely book again!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs through both long-term and everyday responsibilities, including helping raise my aunt’s dog from puppyhood and regularly caring for my boyfriend’s dog. My responsibilities have included walking, feeding, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing companionship to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give to each pet individually. I understand that being away from their owner can be stressful for some animals, so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring, and positive environment where they feel secure and loved. My experience caring for puppies has also taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of paying close attention to behavior, routines, and energy levels. I treat every pet with the same care, compassion, and responsibility I would want for my own animals. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for my own cats. I make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention and playtime throughout the day. I even take my cat on walks, so I’m very attentive to both physical activity and emotional enrichment. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so being patient, observant, and consistent with their routines comes very naturally to me. II believe pets communicate their needs through their behavior and body language, so I always pay close attention to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I respect each pet’s boundaries while also giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, maintaining their routine, and making sure they don’t feel lonely or stressed while their owner is away.

“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.”

“Viv was fantastic with Mochi! She kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. I loved getting the cute pictures and hearing that everything was going well. It’s clear she enjoys caring for pets and she is very trustworthy. We were so happy with the experience that we rebooked her immediately. I would absolutely recommend Viv to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

“Zander was a great sitter for our pup and home! Lots of photo updates, respectful of the house, and our dog loved him. Will definitely be booking with Zander again!”

Olivia F.

“Really prompt and super understanding with some last minute issues. Dogs were perfectly content and the house was exactly as I left it. Would def recommend Alex!”

Andrew B.

“Lindy was amazing! They gave us great updates every day on how Laika was doing, and what they were up to everyday. And lots of adorable pictures in which it was clear Laika was having a great time with them. Highly recommend!”

Samuel S.

“Oli was an exceedingly professional sitter. The house was so well maintained on our return. I have a dog with some behavioral quirks and is often very distrusting with new folks at first. She was patient with him and let him warm up at his own pace. She sent daily updates to ease my mind on how everyone was doing. Have no hesitation in booking her.”

Dawn B.

“Emily is wonderful!! Our dog has anxiety and Emily was totally understanding and they were soon best buds! Emily was great at checking in and keeping us updated. Highly recommend!”

Alicia B.

“We highly recommend Sarah. She watched our dog over night for a weekend in June and went above and beyond for him. She sent many pictures and videos of him and it was clear he was having a blast and was well taken care of in our absence. He gets medication twice per day and she gave him his doses exactly when they were due each time. She is very communicative, responsive, and responsible. We will definitely be working with her again!”

“Victor was a great companion to Onion - they took to each other right away. Victor was respectful of my place and left it in great condition. Victor is now on my list of pet sitters for the future.”

“Daniel is great. He is prompt, and conscientious of others property and animals. He asked good questions at the meet and greet. He stayed with Morty for 3 nights at my apartment and both the apartment and Morty were in great shape when I returned. Daniel sent pictures and messages about how Morty was doing. He also let me know when Morty went counter surfing and got some of his treats. I appreciate Daniel's communication and thoroughness. I will most definitely use Daniel again, in fact he's staying with Morty again this weekend!”

“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!”

“Amber was a fantastic dog and house sitter while we were away for 8 days! Both of our dogs have a few peculiarities that she was able to navigate, our home was very clean when we got home, and the dogs were very well loved! She communicated well and was reliable throughout the entire booking/sitting process.”
