About: With 9 years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I bring both professional medical knowledge and genuine compassion to every pet I care for. I have extensive hands-on experience with cats and dogs of all ages, temperaments, and health conditions, including seniors, anxious pets, and animals requiring medications or specialized care. Working in veterinary medicine has taught me how to recognize subtle changes in behavior and health, respond calmly in stressful situations, and tailor care to each animal’s individual needs. Beyond my professional experience, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is deeply personal, and I strive to provide the same level of attentiveness, patience, and affection that I would want for my own pets. Whether your dog needs long walks and playtime or your cat prefers quiet companionship and routine, I create a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I am currently taking a break for myself from my career in veterinary medicine so I have all the time in the world for your beloved kiddos! I provide detailed updates, photos, and consistent communication so you can feel confident your pets are safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and medical needs. Whether your baby is shy, energetic, senior, or requires medications or extra monitoring, I create a calm, low-stress environment built on patience, trust, and compassion. Your pets will always be treated like family in my care.

“Reagan and Brody enjoy Amanda!”

About: I have owned animals my whole life. Since I was about 8 I was always the one responsible for their care and well being. In high school and throughout college - even now I was always the one friends and family relied on to care for their pets while on vacation or otherwise out of town. I am a college graduate and currently a full time mom and you can trust that I will be nothing but professional and responsible in your home and with your beloved pets. I work part time as a household manager and have open availability except for Monday-Thursday 4pm to 6pm so I have plenty of time to walk, play with, feed and give lots of pets to your pets! My husband works from home and will also be available to let out your dog for potty breaks if I happen to be out of the house. I am completely free on the weekends as well. Our home has a lovely fenced backyard where your dog can frolic and join us in a game of fetch. We have 1 friendly terrier who would love a doggy friend! We also have 1 reclusive cat and a 4 month old baby - please no dogs that would have issues with them in the home.

“Destiny is the best! Our dog is a 70+lb 6 month old puppy and Destiny exudes the energy of a calm, experienced dog handler who clearly loves dogs, but also knows how to keep them chill! She is also super with communication!”

About: My love for animals started at a young age! My mom and I were apart of an organization that transported dogs from kill shelters in the South to non-kill shelters in New York. I have 5 dogs, a horse, and a rabbit. I previously worked at a boarding facility for cats and dogs. I currently work as a vet assistant under Mission Pet Health. I am a junior at VSU and a first year student at Penn Foster to become a veterinary technician. I am dedicated to helping, improving, and supporting the level and quality of care that my clients need! I currently work part time as a veterinary assistant. I have a flexible schedule where I can assist clients with pet-sitting. I am available on weekends and holidays as well! I do not plan on bringing other dogs in my house because I have 5 dogs already, however the high quality of care that I provide for my own dogs will reflect the care that I provide for others!

“Rebecca was great! I will definitely be booking with her again. She came over to take Finn out on a walk since I had an after work event and couldn't get home in between. She still took him on a full walk even though it was raining hard and toweled him off and hung up his gear to dry which made my life so much easier!”

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats around in my life. I’m a creative who has free time, enjoys animals and loves to be of service to others where I can! I work from home which gives me time to care for your pets in the morning, afternoon and evenings! I would never be gone longer than 4 hours. In the clients home I would become knowledgeable about the pets routine, diet, and any specific needs or requirements to help understand the pets behavior, likes, dislikes and anything I can do to help the pet feel more comfortable in their own home!

About: I love dogs, they are my favorite people. All shapes and sizes, whenever I spend time with them, they just make my heart happy. When they’re with me they’ll be taken good care of. Whether it’s long walks, games of tug of war, endless belly rubs, and lots of cuddles. I will love your pet as if they were my own. In addition to raising two dogs of my own, I’ve cared for friends and neighbors’ pets while they’re at work or away. I know how hard it is to leave your pet behind whether it’s while you’re at work or on vacation but when they’re with me you won’t have to worry because they’ll be well cared for and loved. I work full time Monday through Friday from 8am-5pm but only live 5 minutes from my work. I am able to go home midday and have evening and weekends free to spend lots of time with your fur babies. I make sure that they will remain on they’re regular feedings and pawty schedules and are free to run the apartment if no need to crate. My apartment provides a fenced in yard for them to have safe and fun outdoor time. I work full time Monday through Friday from 8am-5pm.

About: I know what a canine needs a lot of love, care, attention things they need because they also have a heart And they feel :) I'm currently working but I have time to take care of him at night if he stays to sleep so he will have a place to rest with a lot of serenity Where I live there is a park opposite so I could take him for a walk in the afternoons so he can feel the air outdoors and I have space in the living room so that he is at ease

About: I have over a decade of professional pet care experience as well as a lifetime of personal pet care experience. I prefer to work with the elderly or medically complex pets as I know they need special attention, adherence to routines, and a calm environment. I focus on providing fun daycare and boarding for pets that don’t do well in regular boarding facilities and require a more home-like experience. Prices are negotiable after a meet and greet. Please fill out your profile in full before meeting! Incomplete/no profile image profiles will not be given my address. I work from home so I spend a majority of my day with my pets and guest pets. Dogs are given mostly free range inside and allowed outside into the huge fenced yard many times a day. They get playtime with other pets and alone time when needed. Our yard is fenced and our house is doggy proofed to avoid trash cans, toilets, and non-chewable items from being accessed. Dogs are crated when they can’t be supervised.

About: I am a former dog owner who's trained a few dogs. I will treat the dog like my own! I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and cuddles! I work full time. Mostly from home. My significant other has an alternative schedule so the dog would be under 24 hour supervision. I can't wait to have a buddy with me throughout the day! I understand how anxious your paw partner may be while you are away -- I am here to console your paw partner until you are back 💕 I live in a single home with a large fenced backyard with a pool they can play in! Great parks and trails nearby. Dogs will have freedom in all rooms of the home. Dog will be supervised 20-24 hours a day. This helps me ensure pet safety and quick turnaround on any changes to health and/or behaviors.

“Lisa is a friendly and thoughtful dog walker that arrives on time, replenishes water bowls if needed and provides the attention, walks and treats Tut is looking forward to when he’s home for the day! Will book again”

About: Ever since I was born I have always had a dog in my life. They’re my job I love playing with them and even if they have a accident it’s okay because every body makes mistakes. I often take my pups to the dog park to play but if that isn’t okay with you I’ll stay home. I have basic training skill that are almost evolved into intermediate. I take extra car of senior dog because they are often super delicate. I tend to lift them up and down stair as most of the time because they are often not able to walk up and down stair and I often keep their walks relatively short because I don’t want their bone and muscles to be hurting later. I work from home so i have plenty pf time to dedicate to your fue babies. I often take mine to the dog park and to Belle isle. I love being outside so you don’t have to worry about them being cooped up in the house all day. I often don’t do anything on the weekends except walk on trails or go out and look at various things in Richmond. I have a fenced yard with 3 dogs. 1 is a senior. I do feeding time once every 3 hours and playtime is constantly. I do have a cool down hour where I break everybody up and they take naps or just relax together. Bathroom breaks are constants and i leave my back door open so the dogs that want to come in can.

“Great communication and timely arrival!”

“Nick was great! He was able to help me out last minute and was great with my pup!”

About: I've been dog sitting since covid; things have changed but not the love for animals. Since my start I've dog sat for a wide varity of dogs. Puppies, oldies, big, small. Some requiring a lot of attention to help distract them, some that just sit by the door waiting for their pawrents to come home. From medications to special diets, specific schedules and give attention if you have the extra time. I will treat your dog as my own! Something you can count on is they will be loved and well taken care of. Pet care is my top priority. Making sure they are fed on time and they get plenty of play time and walks while you are gone. I do currently work but my schedule is constantly changing so I have a lot of freedom to change it as needed. I unfortunately can't accept pets into my home as I don't currently live alone. But I'm more than willing to stay over whenever you need me to.
