“Matt is amazing !! I moved to Richmond for work for 13 weeks and he has made my life easier taking care of my 1 year old puppy, Paige. His dog, Cooper is super super sweet. And Paige comes home exhausted from all the fun she has had ! Very grateful for Matt’s help”


“Myrna is a great sitter. She has taken excellent care of Starbuck. We have scheduled doggie day care and boarding. Myrna's schedule is flexible and she works with us on drop off and pickup times. We will continue to use Myrna's services.”


“Danielle and Matt were amazing - so responsive and helpful with our dog despite the last minute ask. They kept us updated about how he was doing throughout the day as well which is always appreciated!”


“This was our first time leaving our 1-year-old dog with someone outside of the family since we got him. Katelynn was awesome with Zeus and was great with him from the very start! He typically is very scared of new people and refuses to leave our side but she made him feel comfortable and safe from the start! She kept us up to date throughout the day which made us feel safe. We will definitely have Zeus stay with her next time, she was wonderful and I would highly recommend her!”


About: When in the care of my partner and I, pets are enriched and have plenty of opportunity for activity. If your dog enjoys swimming, I can take them to a nearby creek to play. I have a large yard for playing fetch, or just hanging out, and a spunky lab mix that is happy to play tug-o-war. I've always had dogs and cats, and for a short time, pet rats (they're lovely!). I come from a long line of animal lovers and continue that legacy. You can check out my pets’ Instagram at @mystic_whiskers_ I am very attentive to animals and put them at ease so they settle into their home away from home. I have a flexible job that allows me to work from home, so I am flexible with pick-up and drop-off times unless otherwise communicated. I am in RVA most weekends as well. I have a fenced backyard and a dog and 2 cats. The cats have been around other dogs, and Eddy the dog loves other dogs- he has lots of energy to share!

“Despite the late request, Ross answered very quickly and was able to arrange a brief meeting the same night for Murdoch and his dog to meet. The day after, we left Murdoch with Ross and Ava and everything went monthly with a few pictures of Murdoch's day. I recommend Ross and Ava !”


“First time using Rover and Kat was the best sitter for my dog! Clearly very experienced with dogs and cares well for the ones she watches. Kept me reassured throughout the day with cute photos of my dog and her awesome dog, Luna, having fun. Will definitely use her again in the future!”


About: Hi, I’m Leah – your pups new favorite person! As someone who has previously owned/inherited 3 dogs, I know how hard it is to leave your best friend with anyone that’s not you. That’s why I don’t take this responsibility lightly—your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort come first! I grew up with dogs and have spent my life around wagging tails and unconditional love. Whether your pup loves long walks FULL of sniffs, tug-of-war, or just cuddles on cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel loved and at home. I’ve also cared for reactive dogs in the past—including my own—so I really understand how important it is to create a calm, safe space where they can feel secure. I know every pup is different, and I always lead with patience, empathy, and lots of love. Think of me as your dog’s vacation buddy while you're away💕 I work from home and am mostly always home during the evenings. I don’t have meetings too much so I can take your pup out and about as many times as you’d like. I have an apartment but live right beside a green space. I also love taking pups on car rides so happy to take them on hikes or go to the river!

“Tim and his wife are very pleasant and I was even invited inside their cozy living room. Nice neighborhood and they have a nice yard in the back. Also, our communication before and during Anis stay was very easy. I’d definitely book again.”

There's a large unfenced back yard, quick access to the river, and nature walks on Belle Isle. I provide a clean and well thermoregulated house for the hot summer months, with a room dedicated just for the pets, though not restricting them to the room.

Lexi loved spending time with Katelyn on multiple walks throughout the day and evening snuggles for their overnight together. Katelyn made sure my dog felt loved and had everything she needed. Katelyn was very communicative and sent picture updates to ensure I was in the know about what was going on with my precious fur baby while traveling. I will definitely have Katelyn back to care for my precious Lexi.”
