“Thank you Marissa! Figgy was well cared for and were so thankful to be able to leave her at home instead of at a kennel. Marissa left the house spotless and was extremely flexible when our plans changed.”

“Nancy did a wonderful job caring for our home and our three very different dogs while we were away. She was responsible, communicative, and great about checking in whenever she had questions. She carefully followed all instructions, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable in her care. We came home to happy dogs and a house that was in great shape. We truly appreciated the peace of mind she gave us and would absolutely recommend her to others.”

Mary J.

“Alex was great with the dogs and was responsive to our messages. Was very impressed that he came over for a meet and greet and was taking notes and asking questions. Left the home so clean we couldn't even tell someone had been there. Highly recommend”

Jimmy A.

“Gertie has a lot of needs and Oli was attentive to them all. We so appreciate her patience with Gertie and working to keep her as calm and anxious free as possible. We came home to a clean house and very much appreciated the ease of communication!”

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!”

Victoria V.

About: I’m a medical student at VCU on summer break and missing my own pets at home. I’ve walked neighborhood dogs and fostered shelter dogs and cats for several years and have volunteered walking dogs at Richmond Animal League (RAL) for the past year. I’m responsible, hardworking, and dependable and looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I’m a medical student on summer break for the next couple months and will be doing research remotely from home so my schedule is very flexible and I can adapt my timing to yours. I’m comfortable caring for your pets in my apartment having fostered pets here in the past or coming to your home. I’ve worked with shy dogs, energetic pups, playful puppies and everything in-between! I’m comfortable with a range and have also given medications and done some training if that’s something that needs to be continued.

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.

“Emily is terrific. She did such a great job watching our pup. Our dog experiences pretty bad separation anxiety and typically doesn’t eat all his meals when we are away - but with Emily he did! She was absolutely wonderful and we will most definitely be reaching out to her again!! She sent us pictures daily, kept the house tidy and was simply great to have. Thanks again Emily for the great experience!”

“Jakiya is amazing. Finn and Vada barely miss me when I am away. Finn loves the long walks and I love the photos. Thanks, Jakiya, for all you do!”

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.

About: Hi! I am a former cat dad for nearly 15 years and grew up with a dog, cat, and a guinea pig. Unfortunately, I lost my fur baby the year before the pandemic and still miss her dearly. Now I am looking to help care for pets in the Richmond area while I am between jobs. I have been on the client side of the experience having asked friends to watch my cat as I traveled quite frequently in the latter part of her life (2012-2019) so I understand the specific needs of pet owners. For example, my cat had a kidney condition, which required an oral medication and a specific diet for the last four years of her life. I would like to care for standard pets rather than the exotic kind. I am between jobs at the moment but I do workout Monday through Friday downtown. I am open and flexible and happy to adjust my gym routine as needed based on client needs. I always approach new pets/animals with a gentle and friendly demeanor and express this in a soft, soothing tone of voice to convey my friendliness.

“Kian was great! Super responsive and flexible, sent great updates and pictures. I'm already rebooking :)”

Maya G.

About: I have over eight years of hands on pet care experience, including caring for a diabetic dog requiring consistent monitoring and medication management. I have cared for small, medium, and large dogs, as well as cats and other household pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a dog of my own. I’m available for regular walks, check ins, and plenty of attention throughout the day, with extra time on weekends for long walks, dog parks, and outdoor play. Whether in my home or a client’s home, the pet’s safety, comfort, and well being always come first. I follow their routine closely, maintain a clean environment, provide attentive supervision, and ensure they feel secure and cared for at all times.

“Daniel is great, very communicative, responsive & willing to handle circumstances that pop up with our high-maintenance hounds. He has dog/cat/house set for us several times now & I would highly recommend!”

Becca R.

“What a fantastic sitter Amber was! She was able to handle all 3 of our dogs, one of whom I am sure smothered her with affection attempts and another on the opposite end of the spectrum in that I know she had to use patience to win him over. She was able to do it all and everything in between. If our dogs could talk I know they’d already be asking when is the next time Amber is coming by. Thank you.!”
