About: I am a firm believer that dogs are our best friends. Dogs deserve all the love and devotion they show us. I would love to drop by for a quick visit or a walk, or if you need care for longer my wife and our dog Belle would love to host your furry friend. Our backyard, quiet neighborhood, and proximity to the James River Park System is perfect for play time and longer walks. If you’re looking for a reliable friendly caretaker and or a fun place to stay for your pet, look no further. This is my full time commitment at the moment so pet care will be my top priority. My dog Belle gets all of the attention and won’t mind sharing. I have a fenced in yard at home that I share with my wife and our dog Belle. When it’s not too hot Belle gets a long walk every day, and can go in and out to the yard as she pleases. I will ensure I give the same level of care to your dog as I would my own both in and out of my home.

“Chris met us on time at the park and watched Ladybug while I went rock climbing at the RVA Man Wall. He was great with Ladybug and let her go wherever she wanted and snuggled her while we climbed. Great Rover experience with Chris, highly recommend!”

About: Hi there! I'm a young professional who's grown up surrounded by animals ever since I can remember. This lifelong love led me to officially launch my own pet care business in my hometown at 14, and I've continued providing these services as I've relocated to different cities. Now, with about a decade of professional experience and a work-from-home arrangement, I can offer your pets consistent care and attention throughout the day. I've cared for all sorts of pets – from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC. Whether it's following special diets, administering medications, or using that one trick that always calms an anxious rescue, I adapt to each pet's unique needs. My remote work situation allows me to be available for midday walks, regular check-ins, or just some extra cuddle time when needed. Communication is crucial to me, so you can expect consistent updates and photos of your pets if desired. By choosing me, you're securing a dependable, seasoned, and adaptable caregiver who'll treat your fuzzy family members with the devotion and care all animals deserve. Let's work together to keep your pets happy and healthy! As a work-from-home professional, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. I'm available throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. Work officially ends around 4:30pm for me most days - however, my flexible schedule allows me to accommodate various pet care needs, anywhere between early morning visits to evening care. Weekends are open for more extensive services like boarding/home stays. I'm committed to working with you to provide consistent, attentive care that fits your pet's routine and your schedule. I prioritize the safety and comfort of pets in both their homes and mine. For in-home care, I follow your specific instructions meticulously, respecting your space and your pet's familiar environment. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly space with secure areas for play and rest. I'm experienced in administering medications, following dietary requirements, and adapting to each pet's unique needs. Regular updates and open communication ensure you're always informed about your pet's well-being and activities while in my care. Happy to chat about what arrangement works best for you!
14. TC & Sage W.
“So so glad I found these two! Very communicative and great caregivers. Jupiter had a blast with the other pups which went a long way for his socialization, a huge plus! Of course he'll be seeing his two new best friends TC and Sage again 😸”
15. Ariel W.
“Ariel was absolutely wonderful taking care of Georgie all day! Her own dogs were sweet and well behaved, and Georgie adored being a member of the pack, and playing with her daughter. My absolute highest recommendation!!”
16. Brooke P.
“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!”
17. Shelley C.
“I love Shelly. She is very compassionate and dependable. I have four cats with very shy personalities, so they can be quite difficult even for myself. I'm so grateful I found her. Shelly is a dog and cat owner herself. Animals just naturally gravitate to her.”
18. Isabelle (Tracy) & Maurice R.
About: I've always had a special place in my heart for dogs. As a kid, I was totally obsessed with Nintendogs (remember that game?), and I think it shows in my bond with my own dog, Zorro. I’ve had the joy of training and raising him since he was just a tiny pup, and now, at 7 years old, he’s become my best friend. I also had the privilege of training my childhood dog, Pabs, when we adopted her at 3. Dogs are incredibly smart, loving, and truly have a way of making every day better. I love spending time with them, and I promise to treat your pup with the same care, love, and attention I give to my own. Every moment with a dog is a gift, and I’m here to help make sure they feel cherished and happy, no matter what! This is my full time job so I will always be there for your fur baby! Going on walks or playing in my backyard is always on the schedule. My husband works during the day and is always excited to come home to wagging tails. I have a fenced in backyard and always sit outside to watch them play. Your furbaby will always have someone by their side! I am very open to your preferences/usual routine so please feel free to let me know!

“My dog came back very happy from his stay with Kiera! He had a blast!”
20. Joyce H.
“Joyce is great! She takes care of my dog Banana on a daily basis while I’m at work & is constantly working with my crazy sales schedule. Joyce takes great care of Banana, making sure she’s fed twice a day, has pleeenty of potty breaks & all the love & affection she could ask for! She even sends me daily pictures of my old pup throughout the day, which always cheers me up! 10/10, would recommend 😊”
