“Nicole was a great sitter! She provided daily updates and answered right away when I had any questions. My dog had a great time staying there. She was in good hands and would definitely book with Nicole again!”
“Matt went so out of his way to make our dog comfortable and happy during a really chaotic move. He is the best you can find, and we will a.ways use him — can’t give him enough stars!!”
“It was our first time leaving our dog Lucy with Michelle and Lucy had a wonderful time and Michelle took great care of of her. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures on how Lucy was doing. We were gone for a week and I felt comfortable and confident leaving Lucy in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!”
“Jeremy took care of my dog Parker while I was out of the country for a week. I felt Parker was in excellent hands and seemed happy and rested when I got back! Jeremy was super communicative leading up to Parker’s stay as well as during it sending lots of fun videos of their strolls around the neighborhood. Would definitely use Jeremy again!”
“Happy Dog Pet Care (Amy Mawyer) kept our 13 year old mixed breed terrier for 2 days/nights while we were out of town. We made an appointment beforehand to check out the home and also so our dog would already know the place when we dropped her off. HDPC was conveniently located for us near the West End of Richmond and right off of 295 at 95. Amy has one small dog and one or two cats of her own. My dog got along with them fine. There were 2 other larger dogs there the same weekend which was not a problem as our dog gets along with other dogs and is older so she pretty much just sleeps a lot these days. Amy had actually been contacted about keeping another dog the same weekend as my dog but the breed had aggressive tendencies so she did not take the dog for the weekend. She notified me of this beforehand and kept me posted on things. I received an e-mail each day I was gone telling me how my dog was doing. Amy makes homemade dog treats for the dogs and my dog even got doggy ice cream one day! The home was clean and there was water set out for the dogs both inside and out. There is a large fenced in backyard which my dog enjoyed. We will definitely be using HDPC and DogVacay again!!”
“Jesse is absolutely amazing! Helped out last minute when another sitter cancelled, took great care of my dog, sent pictures, and was very responsive. Highly recommended!”
“Highly recommend!! Danielle and her fiancé were awesome! They watched my dog for 3 nights and sent lots of pictures and communication while I was gone. It was clear Eli felt right at home with them and enjoyed his time with them and their dogs! I will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“Excellen all around! Great communication before and during our trip, with lots of consideration for the dogs’ routines and comfort. Loved all the photos that showed us the dogs were having a great time at “camp” — knowing they were in good hands let us enjoy our trip all the more. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“Certainly! Here's a potential review for Cyndi: I cannot recommend Cyndi highly enough as a dog sitter! She is incredibly professional and takes her responsibilities very seriously. My senior dog requires daily medications, and she handled everything with such care and expertise that I felt completely at ease. While I was away, Cyndi sent frequent updates, including photos and messages, to reassure me that everything was going smoothly. It was clear that my dog was in good hands, and her attentiveness and communication made all the difference. If you are looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and detail-oriented sitter, Cyndi is the one!”
“Cope absolutely loved being watched by Sarah! She sent plenty of pictures of him relaxing with his new friends on the couch and outside. Would definitely use her again in the future!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog here with Ryan! She got along great with his dog which was a huge bonus for her to have a friend to play with.”
“Donetta was so gracious and kind with our older dog! She kept us informed of how he was doing on our quick overnight away. I'd highly recommend her as a dog sitter!”
“Charles did a great job with our dog Lucky and certainly made her feel at home. We very much appreciated the pictures and videos that were sent multiple times during the day.”
“Dewi and I have had a wonderful first experience boarding with Alex! I was out of the country for two weeks, but always could tell form the updates, photos and videos that my gentle old man was in the best of care. Especially loved seeing him get special attention on his 15th birthday! Alex has much experience with all types of dogs, and it shows. Very professional. Thank you so much!”
“My boy had a great time at Amber's house. He came back happy and tired; definitely got some much needed outside time, socialization, and cuddles. It was easy to coordinate drop-off and pickup, and I received updates and pictures during his stay.”
“Thank you so much to Le’Quitta and her family for taking such great care of Boss ☺️ She kept me updated with pictures and communicated well. Will definitely be rebooking! We knew he had a good time when he slept the majority of the day when we got him home❤️ Thanks again!!!”
“Our energetic pup loves playing with Kristin and Finn and he just came back happy from another fun stay at her home. We’ll definitely use her again!”
“Hilary took care of my dog, Penny, for 10 days. She did an awesome job! I got photo updates every couple days. Penny went on a hike and took a couple trips to the dog park. Hilary was very receptive to any needs Penny had and was very fast to answer questions. I would definitely use her again!”
“Tiffany is amazing! This was the first time I boarded my Simba. I was so nervous. However, Simba was very well taken care of. Tiffany kept me updated with texts and pictures. She was professional and caring toward not only Simba but me as well. Simba truly enjoyed his stay. I don’t think he wanted to come home! I will definitely use Tiffany’s services again. If you want a reliable, patient, caring, and professional person to care for your pet, Tiffany is your person!!!”
