“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!”

“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!”
“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.”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have cared for my own golden retriever, Sunny, since he was a puppy. Sunny is now 5 years old, well-behaved, and friendly with other pets. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, and creating a safe, loving environment for dogs of all temperaments. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I walk Sunny twice daily—morning and evening—and love spending time outdoors. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays. I live in a one-level ranch-style home with a fully fenced-in backyard, perfect for safe outdoor play. My home is quiet, clean, and pet-friendly. Sunny is gentle and social, making him a great companion for visiting pets. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their comfort and safety.
“Caroline is very friendly and responsive. She immediately clicked with my mini poodle after their first meeting. She sends great pictures and video updates so you know how your baby is doing throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her for daycare.”
About: Puppy sitting for my perfect nephew (Rocky) for the last five years in San Diego inspired me to help others in Richmond now that I call it my home. In college I fostered kittens that were too young to be adopted to help build socialization skills with people. I grew up always having both a dog and cat in the home and can’t wait to rescue someone of my own here soon 😊. I live and work in the Willow Lawn area and love to get out for many walks. I live an active life and love the outdoors. I am happily available for boarding, daycare or walks but currently prefer weekends over weekdays as I work from an office down the road from home. Advance notice to schedule boarding is greatly appreciated to plan ahead with my schedule. It is just me at home with a fenced in spacious backyard and quiet street full of neighborhood fur friends to meet along our walks!
“Brooke was awesome! She followed my instructions and maintained open communication. Cassidy definitely settled right in with her and her husband. Will definitely book again!”
“Aliza was awesome! She was available at a somewhat last minute request. She was very responsive and Rusty seemed to have a great time. Aliza was also very timely and I didn’t have to wait at all for drop off and pick up :) would definitely use again!”
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!
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by precious family pets, and learned to care for them and love on them from a young age. As an adult, I learned about the dedication and attention to detail it takes to care for a senior pet with special needs and medical challenges. I adore animals, and can’t wait to meet yours! I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to work from home a few days a week, so I have availability to go for walks during the work day and in the evenings. I have a spacious apartment that’s is very pet friendly. I live near many walking paths, trails and parks and love being outside, so your pet can get lots of exercise.

Leah W.
“Leah is a wonderful person and an outstanding pet caregiver! When she adopted a fearful rescue dog, she showed him nothing but love and patience and taught him how to be comfortable around others. She continues to give him an amazing life, and I know she would do just the same for any other pet that she was responsible for. I would absolutely trust her with my own pets- she is responsible and caring, and any pet would be lucky to have her company.”

Alice came back from Lauren‘s house exhausted and happy. Lauren sent several pictures and updates throughout the day and let me know that my baby was having a good time. We’ve already booked more daycare dates and are looking forward to using Lauren more in the future.
Reese's stay was amazing with Nicholas and his pup! Our girl is high energy and came home tired and happy. We got pictures of her having her best day both outside playing and inside napping, which we appreciated on this hot summer day. We will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you!
Nelly loved Allison! She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and videos of my girl. Made my workday much smoother knowing she was in such good hands. Nelly was worn out and slept all the way home. Will definitely be recommending her and requesting her again ☺️
Kristen was extremely flexible last minute but my schedule changed again and did not end up needing the service. Despite the inconvenience to her, she was very professional. I would highly recommend her to others simply for her communication and professionalism.
Lydie was absolutely amazing. Lydie's warm, engaging personality and her deep knowledge of dogs made for a wonderful stay. Betty's pictures told the story, she enjoyed her time completely. Everything went perfectly and Lydie accommodated our schedule. Thank you again.
