“Cheyenne was a great help when we needed a very last minute in-home pet sitter for our dog! She was communicative and very sweet with our pup. We could tell he was well cared for, as was our home!”


About: I have experience in daycare/boarding settings, i have experience with high drive dogs, I do dog sports with my own personal dog so i am pretty confident in my handling skills. I have done years of research on dog related things some including understanding body language, knowing when a dog is uncomfortable or needs to be removed from a situation, what things are good and what are bad, how to use training tools properly if needed, learning the genetics of dog breeds and just over all temperaments that certain breeds have. I grew up on a farm full of dogs and other animals ive always owned dogs especially bully breeds ive been around dogs will all ages, behaviors and sizes my family and friends all know my love for animals and how good i am with them and how much i care about them even when they arent my own. I currently am unemployed, i am a stay at home dog mom and aside from the occasional grocery store run i am at home with my dogs. I will care for your pet to the best of my ability and under any instructions that may be given to me. I will care for your pet like they are my own and keep them as safe as possible while under my care!

“Kacie was wonderful, she took great care of my pups! She communicated with me throughout her stay and sent me pictures. She was also very responsive when I messaged her. She was very thorough to make sure she understood their routines and needs and l felt very comfortable having them in her care. I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for great pet care and plan to book her in the future.”


About: Hi! I’m Tiffany,, a lifelong dog lover with 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just a cozy cuddle on the couch, I’m here to provide the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. I treat every dog like family — because they are. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always happy to follow your dog’s specific routine, medical needs, dietary needs, and quirks. From high-energy puppies to mellow seniors, I’ve cared for them all. Let’s make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re gone. I’d love to meet you both! 🐾 I do have a full time job that I work M-F 8-5. I am available to to swing by before or after work, as well as stop by on my lunch break so long as your house is in close proximity to my job. I am willing to stay at your home during the week as well to give your pet the attention and care they need around working hours. I have open a availability on weekends! With my home being small I am only able to accommodate inquiries that have me coming to your home. I will care for your home and pet as if they are my own! I ask that you leave me any specific details regarding routine (feeding times, medication times, etc.) to make the process easy and comfortable for your fur baby!

“Thank you Rhea my fur baby’s never missed a beat , it was an easy transition. Rhea was on time sent plent of fur babies pics have fun. She cuddled my babies treated like they were her own. I highly recommend Rhea for house sitting. Even when one of my fur babies had an accident she cleaned up with no hesitation. We truly ❤️You for your outstanding service. I can tell you truly love ? what you do. Thanks The Canady’s”

“Ashlyn did a great job watching our three peis. She was very communicative and sent updates with pictures. She was able to meet all their needs including administering medication for one of them and she left the house was neat and tidy. I would definitely recommend her and would also use her again.”


“Genesta took excellent care of my pup, Luka. She sent pictures of their playtime outside and he seemed bummed she left! I would definitely recommend Genesta and plan to use her to care for him in the future.”


“Trenton was an absolute lifesaver! We’ve had some disappointing experiences with sitters on this app recently ranging from not following instructions to doing quick 30-minute drop-ins when we specifically requested house sitting. Trent completely restored our faith in Rover. He followed all of our instructions to the letter, took excellent care of our dog Thor, and even kept our home clean and organized, something we haven’t experienced with past sitters. We truly appreciate his reliability and professionalism. We will most definitely continue using his services.”



“Symone was absolutely amazing. All the dogs warmed up to her quickly. She was very attentive to all their needs to include endless puppy snuggles. She checked in regularly sending picture updates. I would use her again and would recommend her!”


About: I have worked as a kennel tech at a local veterinarian/boarding facility, where I worked with everything from cats to puppies to elderly dogs, small dogs, large dogs, and everything in between. I spent multiple years volunteering at the Richmond SPCA and have received training both there and at my kennel tech job on cat and dog body language, handling, bathing, nail trims, and medication administration (oral, ear, nasal, and eye). I have worked in the past with large, reactive dogs and am familiar with stress indicators. I am able to provide additional care to sick and special needs pets and also have experience with keeping small mammals (rodents and rabbits), fish, and frogs. I'm home for the summer and outside of a week of vacation, my schedule is mostly wide open. This, along with Instacart, is my only job at the moment, so I am available most days and times and have quite a bit of flexibility. I am able to feed, bathe, walk, administer medications (oral, ear, nasal, and eye), clean up after, and give nail trims to most pets. For reptiles, birds, amphibians, etc: no live feedings or whole prey (except bugs), please. For liability reasons, I don't give nail trims to aggressive or flighty cats due to risk of scratches or bites.

“Ashley was a wonderful sitter! She was very responsive and sent tons of pictures of my two dachshunds. She took such good care of the girls while we were away. We’d love to have her back anytime to sit for Harley and June. 🩷”


About: I, myself, own a senior dog and look after her well. I dog sit for family and friends when need be. I have also shadowed at a Veterinary office and work at one as well. I’m completely free every day until I leave for college on August 20th, so I can give your pets my full attention Monday through Sunday; walks, playtime, and all their care need I make sure that they get used to me first before jumping into caring for them. I allow them to realize I am trustworthy and here to feed them and love them.

About: I've loved animals since I was a kid and have cared for many throughout my life! I was tasked with raising my family dog since she was a puppy when I was in high school, and I helped my college roommate with her puppy! I have walked/boarded many dogs and cats since moving to Virginia! Being in the military, my coworkers travel a lot so I have become the workplace's go-to "pet auntie." I genuinely love to spoil pets and providing them with a safe and homey environment while their loved ones are out! I have a fairly flexible work schedule so I can come back to my home or to your home to take care of your pet! Early morning, lunch, and evenings are especially free, so I can work around that depending on your needs. I do not own pets, so they will be here as a single child in the case they are boarded! Crates, food, litter boxes, etc will need to be provided as I don't own those things. I have access to many parks around my neighborhood, so walkability is not an issue!

About: I work at Banfield in Newport News as a vet assistant. I currently have a senior dachshund named Leo who’s great with other dogs and cats. My work schedule varies month to month. I can walk dogs or take care of pets in your home if my work schedule allows, or I can board in my house (dog friendly dogs/cats or small animals). I also have years of experience medicating dogs, cats, and small animals, and can trim nails on dogs and cats. I work 10 hour shifts, 4 days a week at Banfield. It varies each week but I do get a monthly schedule each month. I usually get my monthly schedule at the beginning of the previous month I usually take my dog out every 3-4 hours to go potty while I’m home. If your dog has a routine he/she follows, let me know and I can accommodate!

My husband and I have had her keep our somewhat anxious and reactive dog Morty 3 or 4 times and every time Morty comes back to us content and ready to continue life at his normal pace and schedule without needing to be retrained on anything! She’s the best.”
