About: I have five years of professional dog care in many different spheres. I have previously managed two different kennels, groomed many dogs around Richmond, and am K9-CPR certified. I have experience training puppies, adults, and seniors basic obedience, leash manners, and beginner agility. I am well versed in administering medications. Prior to working with dogs as a career, I have experience caring for many dogs over my life, from family pets to petsitting in the neighborhood. I am happy to provide enrichment activities for your animal as well, such as bubble play, doga (dog yoga), or drives to hiking locations. I am committed to being completely available for any of your pet needs! My main focus is comfortable care for your critter, no matter how early or late that may be. I feel that years of experience in caring for animals who are being boarded, hanging out at daycare, or getting a stylish spa day have taught me so much in how to interact and build trust with many animals no matter the situation. I believe a combination of patience, kindness, intuition, and some snackos can really foster a safe, positive environment for everybody.
“Our pup fell in love with Katie right away! Katie was excellent communicating with us throughout the process of booking and during her daily walks. Hope to see her again!”
About: With over six years of experience, I provide dependable and loving care tailored to each dog’s needs. I’ve worked with all sizes and puppies too. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs the attention, exercise, and care they need throughout the day. I follow each dog’s routine, keep a clean and secure environment, give constant supervision, and ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in my care.
“Brandi was so great with my dogs while I was away. She sent me a detailed report about their behaviors while on their walk. I received multiple great pictures of my babies attached to the report and it made me feel so much better while I was away. As someone who is a first time user of Rover, I am so glad to have found someone who is knowledgeable, caring, and willing to help in any way she can. I highly recommend Brandi to anyone who loves their furbabies”
“Mark took great care of our puppy. He was very quick to respond to my request (it was somewhat short notice) and was a lifesaver. He kept us updated and paid attention to our dogs needs. I highly recommend Mark and will be using him in the future.”
“Breanna had the unfortunate duty of cleaning up a shattered glass vase one of my dogs knocked over when Breanna arrived. I appreciate her reaching out to me right away to let me know, and to also reassure me that neither dog (or she fortunately) was injured. She cleaned up the mess thoroughly, which was necessary to prevent injuries but also above and beyond. I also appreciate her continued patience with my two young and dogs. I know they are A LOT when she opens the front door. I'm really pleased to have found Breanna to take my dogs for recurring walks while I'm working. I look forward to her developing a bond with my crazy noodleheads. Highly recommended! 🥇”
About: Hi, I'm Kim! I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I'm a mom of 4 fur babies of my own and have had animals all my life. I am currently transitioning from a 13 year Nanny position into my dream job of caring for animals full time. Three years ago, I started pet sitting part-time and have gotten rave reviews and I absolutely love it!! (References available on request) My schedule is very flexible for drop-ins and overnight stays on a first come, first serve basis. I will come to your pet's home where they are most comfortable. Offering pet care services in your home, I follow the typical routine you and your pets have already established. They will keep their routine and not go through any traumatic transitions. The best part? Your fur baby is there when you get home. Your home will also have that "lived in" look. Mail will be picked up, plants watered, lights will be switched on and off, trash rolled to the curb, and any house issues that arise can be addressed. Especially for overnight or vacation services, I would love the chance to meet you and your pet(s) in your home ahead of time. I always encourage new clients to schedule a (free) 30-minute meet-and-greet before the first booking (either at your home or a public location) so that I can meet your pet(s). If I am doing a sitting or drop-in, then these are perfect for showing me where the food supplies are as well as bowls, litter box(es), and anything else that may be needed for the booking I send daily updates while you are away so your vacation is worry free. I am looking to establish a regular client base and consider pets as part of the family.

“Heidi took very good care of my little Corgi while I was out of town. Heidi showed up every day, sent me photos of her walking Tubbers, and made good friends with Tubbers. Tubbers will miss Heidi. You can trust Heidi to take good care of your pet.”
“Madison is so wonderful! She is very responsive and reliable. She sent detailed updates of her walk with Rocket, and we truly appreciate her calm energy and kind care! I feel completely confident leaving Rocket in her capable trust. She's part of our family now!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16. I’ve taken care of dogs as young as puppies and of senior age. I’m especially well versed with young dogs who may need extra care with training. I’m currently working a job full-time, but the hours are pretty flexible and I also work from home. My work day gives me time to go on walks and run errands when needed. I like to make sure they are leashed properly before they begin their walk, and well equipped with potty bags. I also like to make sure that if other dogs are present, we wait for them to pass or maintain a safe distance before continuing our walk.
About: With a playful kitten of my own and years of caring for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs, I bring hands on experience and a genuine love for pets. Understanding each animal’s unique personality ensures they feel comfortable and happy! As a highly available pet sitter, I have the flexibility to make your pet my priority. It fits great into my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to provide consistent walks, feedings, and playtime! I am happy to accommodate your pet’s needs, whether it’s a quick check in or an extended stay. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. My home has a large fenced yard and I love taking dogs on walks around the quiet neighborhood.

About: I've had pets in my life for as long as I can remember. I have helped family and friends with walking and sitting their dogs. I have two cats of my own, named Dunkin' and Donut after my favorite coffee. I would love to help you out with your fur-baby by dropping in to give them some company or taking them for a walk. Please consider me when looking for a sitter or walker! I am currently employed full-time, M-Th. However, my work day starts at 10am, leaving me with open mornings perfect for drop-ins or walks! Thursdays are my remote days, which leaves me with more availability for care opportunities as well. I do not work on Fridays and have plenty of time available for your pet care needs! I can provide you peace of mind that your pet is cared for and thriving by giving you updates (cute pictures included). Any pet-specific instructions that are necessary for taking care of your pet will be followed in great detail to ensure they are getting the best care and attention possible.
About: Hi, I'm Rebecca! I'm available to do walks, drop ins, or sitting. While I'm fun and relaxed in personality, I take responsibilities towards pets seriously. I care for them as I'd want mine cared for, with the general attitude that they're all someone's baby. I value clear communication on both ends, any helpful instructions from you, and knowing how you like things done. Every pet is different, and your personal requirements and preferences are important. More about me: I've lived with pets my whole life, and started helping with their care as soon as I was old enough. Dogs and cats were my first animals, and I've always loved having a dog for company while enjoying the outdoors and beautiful weather. I've walked and sat for dogs of friends and neighbors, and it's always been an enjoyable experience. I do have some experience with senior dogs, dogs who need medication, and I'm comfortable giving oral or topical meds. Taking care of puppies is also something I enjoy. I just ask for any special needs or training instructions to be clear and detailed so I can give the best care possible. Fun Fact: I actually completed a veterinary assistant certification course in Maryland many years ago. I never ended up with employment relevant to that, but the experience was worth it. The educational clinic hours were great for becoming more comfortable handling different breeds and sizes. I've been helping care for a family member at home, along with our two cats, our older dog, and my three birds. I love getting outside, and have plenty of time to enjoy a walk, or spend time with, a new animal companion. I care for pets according to the client's instructions and preferences. I'm able to care for pets in their own home, yard, and for walks.
