House Sitting Richmond

“Ebony took amazing care of our two cats, Bear and Zeus. She sent us frequent updates and it was clear that our cats got attached to her. 🥹 We will rebook with Ebony again.”

“Tiana was absolutely amazing. The minute we met her we knew our fur-babies would be in excellent hands! Even our kitty who doesn’t warm up quickly, was found sitting on Tiana’s lap purring away. This was the first time, our fur-babies were left alone, so we were a bit nervous, but Tiana kept us so at ease. She updated us everyday with little messages and amazing pictures. Our pup has been moping around the house since she has left. He is wondering where his new favorite human has gone! Our house was left cleaner then we left it! Omigod thank you! We highly recommend Tiana and would book her again in an instant! Your babies are so well looked after ❤️”

“Stacie went above and beyond with her cat sitting services. She always sent daily updates with both pictures and videos. For us, she came twice a day. It was an absolute treat to wake up to these messages everyday we were away. In fact, we felt so comfortable, we never even checked our pet cams. Food was done 100% like we do it (using a scale and all), litter and surrounding area was always pictured fresh, and the water was never overflowing/dry. Our cats were living their best lives with Stacie, and the only worry we ever had was that the cats would miss her more than they’d miss us! Safe to say that we will definitely be using her services again 😌”

“Charlotte took great care for our two cats. Even though it was a shirt stay (1 nights) our little guys seemed comfortable right from meeting her until our return. She kept the place clean and no issues to report. Would definitely look to book her again for our next trip.”

“Valerie took wonderful care of Finn while we were at a wedding. We didn't have to worry and knew he was in great hands. She sent a detailed report afterwards, which we really appreciated. She truly took the time to understand Finn and his needs. Thanks Valerie!”

About: I'm a dog and cat owner looking to care for other furry friends! I'm a proud owner of Louis my sweet little Bichon-poo and a friendly cat. I’ve been a dog lover since I was a child and have been around dogs my whole life. I truly love spending time with dogs and feel that it’s the dog's world and I’m just living in it. I have experience with service dogs, and experience handling reactive dogs so I can work with your dog's needs on our walks - just let me know your plans/needs! Dogs come first in my house. I’m always excited to take my dog on a hike, walk or puppy play date. I'm more than happy to do brief drop-ins for your pup or kitty throughout the day and give them some love and attention before you come home. Let your dog be spoiled by me! =Meet and Greet= Feel free to send me any inquiries and we can set up a meet-and-greet so that we can better cater to you and your pet’s needs. = House Sitting = Please note that I do not offer overnight house sitting but can be in your home with your pet for 8 hours at a time. If you would like more frequent check ins a series of drop ins may be a better option. = Boarding = I can provide potty breaks every 4-8 hours and your dog must be crate trained as that is the safest option for both my personal pets and yours. Rest assured the maximum amount of time they will be crated during the day is 5 hours while I am working. Your pet must be safe around cats as there is one in my home alongside my dog. Note that if you require pick up/drop off a service charge will be added. I'm currently working part-time as I'm a university student so my schedule is flexible so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I'm very familiar with safe routes for walks in the neighborhood. Client's homes are always respected, and I can easily crate pups who need it. As long as instructions are given, your pet and your home are in safe hands.

About: Dogs and cats are my life。I have grown up around aninals。They are dogs、cats、mini chickens、fish、rabbits…My family and I moved from China to Canada 1years ago and greatly miss having pet。 I come from a pet-loving family and have experience caring for many types of animals. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and building trust with them over time. I am a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which allows me to commit to regular and long-term dog walking. I understand how important consistency and routine are for dogs, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m home most of the day and can reliably provide walks and check-ins at consistent times. I enjoy being outdoors, and daily walks are already part of my lifestyle. I’m patient, dependable, and happy to start with short walks or trial bookings to build a long-term relationship with both pets and their owners. I always follow the pet owner’s instructions and the pet’s usual routine. In a client’s home, I focus on safety, calm care, and consistency. I make sure doors and gates are secure, use the owner’s preferred leash or harness, and adjust walks based on the pet’s age and energy level. During drop-in visits, I can provide fresh food and water, basic cleaning of pet bowls, supplies, and crates, along with bathroom breaks, exercise, and companionship. I also share updates and photos so owners feel comfortable and informed.

About: We’re the kind of people who get ridiculously excited when a pet wants to play or decides it’s cuddle time! Animals have always been a huge part of both our lives. Tianna grew up with multiple dogs and has continued to care for dogs throughout adulthood, while Tyler was a proud cat daddy for over 17 years. We bring hands-on experience with both dogs and cats, along with a very patient and attentive approach to pet care. We both genuinely love spending time with animals and are happiest when we’re playing, cuddling, walking, or simply keeping a pet company. We’ve both spent most of our lives around animals and genuinely love caring for them. We take the time to learn each animal's personality, routine and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home. We want every pet staying with us to feel like they're part of the family! Our schedules give us a lot of flexibility for pet care. Tianna works from home and can provide pets with plenty of companionship, attention + potty/play breaks, and Tyler is available after work by 3pm. We have plenty of time for walks, play sessions, cuddles and relaxing all together. We’re happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and we can accommodate weekday, evening, or weekend care depending on the service and your pet’s needs! 🫶 We live in a pet-friendly apartment and provide a calm, supervised home environment. Tianna works from home, so pets are rarely without human companionship during the day. We want your pet to feel completely safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with us! 💕 We take the time to learn each pet’s routines, personalities and comfort levels before their stay and follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. We make sure they receive appropriate walks, playtime, meals, bathroom breaks and plenty of rest, always taking their individual needs into consideration. For drop-in visits, we provide the same attentive, personalized care in your pet’s own home. We’ll follow their usual routine, give them food + fresh water, provide bathroom breaks, playtime, walks or cuddles as needed, and make sure they’re comfortable and happy before we leave. We’re happy to follow any specific instructions you provide and can send you pictures and updates during each visit so you know your pet is doing well!

“Thank you Mariia for looking after Daphne and Oswald. They always love seeing you and you are a wonderful sitter - clean, tidy, respectful of our home. Appreciate your responsiveness and the very cute photos you took!”

About: I am an animal lover and have had a family dog my entire life. Currently I have an energetic 12 year old Portuguese Waterdog that I love to spend time with and go on daily walks with. I have plenty of experience with many types of dogs as I frequently have family friends pets stay at my home where I take care of them for many days at a time. I am very active and confident in my ability to ensure your dog will have their activity and energy needs met during drop ins or walks! I am a very accessible university student taking online classes. Given the flexibility of my courses, I am available every day of the week, specifically: Monday-Sunday: 9am-10pm I have a large fenced backyard with plenty of grass. I have a 12 year old portuguese waterdog who is very friendly and loves the company of other dogs.

“I don't typically post anything but Merly deserves recognition. She is kind and attentive and has a great sense of humour. She shows infinite patience and courage. Our dogs are complicated and she takes them and their adjustment process on with grace. The dogs respond really well to her. She is organized, reliable and left the house neat and tidy. 10 stars!”

About: Hello lovey pet owners! I am Ash!! I am looking to brighten my life with new dog friends! Personally I love long walks and cuddles. I would be more than happy to meet all and every kind of pets you may have! Especially the more challenging ones. Every animal has different needs and personalities. And I have more than enough patience and heart to figure out how to best handle your fur babies! I’m a confident and energetic alpha that will have much fun yet safe boundaries to ensure your pets needs are being tended to. If you ever have any questions or concerns don’t hesitate to ask me, I’d be open to discuss any potential offers! Thank you for your consideration, Ash :) Pet care easily fits into my schedule in my work week as I am off midday ( I work mornings) and have weekends completely open to spending all day and night with your pets. I currently live in a house that does not allow pets, so I am not accepting boarding atm. Under the right circumstances would be open to going to your home where your animal is most comfortable for overnights/drop ins. Thank you in advanced hope to hear from you!

“Breanna was great. She asked lots of good questions to better understand our styles and our dog dog's styles. Overall very conscious and thoughtful. Our Boxer (Mustard) got along well with Breanna. Would use Breanna again.”

“Cagla & John were so kind, communicative, and flexible when taking care of our senior dog. He had a medical emergency during our vacation, and they ended up taking him to the vet and caring for him after he lost his mobility. It ended up being a very stressful situation, but we are so grateful that our dog was in genuinely caring and good hands in Cagla and John throughout this ordeal. They really went above and beyond in caring for him far more than what was originally expected and asked of them. Thank you both, we are so grateful for your care and for being there for Riki during a difficult time! Would 100% recommend if you’re looking for a sitter who truly cares for your furry family members.”

About: Do you need someone to walk your dog or just spend sometime with your loved one? My name is Gini and I'm a mom of two grown boys and I have always loved dogs. My family lives in Richmond, we actually live right by the airport which is convenient for drop offs and pick ups if you’re traveling. We have a young Boston Terrier named Finn who loves to play and socialize with other dogs. If your dog isn’t up for that I can also leave him at home and spend one on one time with your dog when you can't. I look forward to my nightly walks with my dog and would love to include your dog. Give me a call or text and we can arrange a good time to meet and discuss your needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your loved one. I currently work part time and from home so I have the time to spend with your pup. I enjoy my daily evening walks with my dog and if your pup is up to it hiking on the weekends. I have a fully fenced yard and our dog is part of the family and is always welcome on the furniture and in bed. My goal is to make your pet feel like one of the family while he/she is in our home. I’m at home to shower your beloved pet with attention and affection. I love to take my dog to the beach or on hikes or play fetch at the park across the street. I have a fully fenced yard and my dog loves to make new friends and play in our backyard. We treat our dog and any visitors like one of the family.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog sitter living in Mount Pleasant. I’ve also grown up with lots of different sizes and shapes of fur friends, from King Charles Spaniels to Greyhounds. My current home isn’t pet-friendly, so I love to housesit and meet as many cats and dogs as I can! Over the past few years, I’ve watched pets with lots of different anxieties and my parents dog is currently deaf, so I have a lot of experience giving medication and am familiar with special diets as well. I love energetic and lazy pets all the same, and I’m very comfy taking them for all the walks they need as well as keeping them company while they miss their owners. I know it’s hard to trust someone with your family! Please feel free to ask me any questions. I work mainly from home and am flexible with going into the office, and I love to go for walks! I also live alone and have minimal personal responsibilities so I’m usually available for short or long-term stays, and don’t mind short notice when necessary. I’m happy to stay in your pets safe space and keep their routines, including medication and walk schedules. You can trust me to care for your home as well while you’re away, as I like to keep things tidy and water plants. I’m also comfortable with light grooming and checking mail, whatever is needed while you’re away.

“Mikayla was fantastic!!! We were gone for three nights and she watched our 16-year-old dog who can sometimes be a little nervous. He had several accidents in the house (which is unlike him, so Mikayla didn’t have much of a heads up this was a possibility!), but Mikayla handled everything with patience and care, leaving our house spotless. She kept us updated throughout our time away with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We would happily book with her again!”

“We had a great experience with Melissa. She was fast to respond, easy to communicate with, and came over to our house beforehand for a meet and greet, which I really appreciated. From the beginning, I felt that she was reliable and trustworthy. I felt completely comfortable leaving my home and the dogs in her care, knowing she would show up exactly as agreed. Melissa took wonderful care of Pablo and Braza. She took them on adventures to the beach, followed all of my wishes and instructions carefully, and truly went above and beyond. What stood out most was how calm, capable, and unfazed she was with my dogs’ special needs and sometimes slightly out-of-line behavior – she didn’t flinch or seem overwhelmed at all. Overall, I felt I could fully trust Melissa and our agreement from start to finish. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and communicative dog sitter.”

“Emily did a fantastic job taking care of our 3 fur babies — a medium dog and our 2 cats. She sent us photos and videos of them and also stayed in touch when she had questions about the pet’s health needs. She kept our home neat and tidy and it was helpful that she had a similar routine to mine as well. We have a shy dog and she was also able to meet with us before our trip away to be more familiar with her walking habits. Thank you Emily for taking such great care of them!”

“Pamela was very friendly and professional. During our 4 day trip out of province, Pamela stayed in our home with our recently adopted 15 month old terrier. We asked Pamela to be with Theo continuously during our absence, due to some separation anxiety. Pamela went above and beyond to meet our request. She made him feel safe and happy the entire time. We received regular updates with photos and videos, and came home to a clean house and happy pooch. We were nervous to use a pet sitter and leave our pup for the first time, but Pamela made the experience easier. We will request Pamela the next time we need someone to watch Theo while we are away.”
