“Nicole does such a great job with my baby. On days when it’s too hot she still makes sure he goes out and gets playtime and love. I absolutely love that she takes multiple pics to show what they’ve been up to. Pork Chop enjoys her visits so much”

About: I have cared for dogs of all ages and sizes for twenty years, and I take the responsibility and well- being of animals very seriously. I enjoy the relationship walking a dog regularly builds, and how happy and healthy regular activity makes a dog. I am a USCG Veteran and a personal soccer trainer, so I have always enjoyed an active lifestyle and look forward to continuing that through my activities with caring for dogs. I can be flexible regarding scheduling needs, I can come to you or your dog can come to me! I have experience with difficult behavior, high energy, important routines, weird personality quirks, and crazy allergies in dogs; I am dedicated to providing high quality service to you and your dog.

“Destiny is a great communicator, lets me know if anything is off on Teddys walks, and was able to improvise and find Teddy’s food when I forgot to do his meal prep this week! Teddy is loving his weekly walks, thank you Destiny!”

“Devinder was great! He was a clear communicator and was comfortable with providing our dog the extra TLC she needs as a senior pup. He was trustworthy and took great care of our girl!”

About: I have been volunteering at the Richmond Animal League on Midlothian for the past 7 months learning how to work with dogs and read their body language in a role they have called couch potato which involves spending time with a dog 1 on 1 for an hour in a private room where you spend time emotionally connecting with a dog which you or the staff pick then by playing with it if it likes the toy while feeding them food, water, and cleaning up after them if they use the bathroom in the room which has only happened a couple of times. I mainly work with small to medium size mixed breeds/hounds that range in sizes from 8 to 60 pounds with ages ranging from 5 months to 7 years old that have had heart worm, abandonment issues, abuse, and neglect with the occasional couch potato since that's the breed they mainly get even though there not a beginner or easy dog to work with and this role has only worked for a few of them since there a hound dog which means they like to be outside doing games where they sniff and find stuff, run and play outside, but since this role is for indoors I manage with what I can do for them in the short amount of time i'm there with them. I have also done a role at RAL called crate escape which i have done 7 times where you take the dog out for a few hours in your car. I signed up to rover so that i could learn to work with some new beginner couch potato dog breeds like the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, or a Pug for 30 min drop in visits for people at their homes. I also would like to in the future work with a Golden Retriever/Labrador even though they are not complete couch potato dogs but with the right owner i've heard they can be a great beginner dog to work with for 30 min drop in visits as well. I figured that would be a great place to start. I also volunteer at the Richmond SPCA which ive been attending too for the past 2 months now for there dog enrichment program, they dont have many young dogs to work with which is great for someone like me who is looking more for older/senior dogs that are larger to work with which a couple of my pictures are proof of that. I am also learning how to properly walk dogs at the Richmond SPCA since I have only walked 33 different dogs with a leash and collar/harness. The leash and Harness at the richmond SPCA that i use is the Martingale Collars: and Easy Walk Harness, so they are the only brands I know how to use for bigger dogs. I have also done 2 dog day out field trips at the Richmond SPCA where you take a dog out for 2 hours but since the slots are very hard to get I dont get to do it as much as I would like too. I also dont have any experience giving medicine or preforming CPR on dogs and would prefer a dog that does not have to be given any medication or have any major illnesses so if an emergency arises i would not have too take him to the vet unprepared until i learn how to give dogs their medicine and preform CPR on them if needed. Im flexible any day of the week to feed, give some playtime and cuddles to your dog from 11:am - 3pm and 3pm - 10pm on the weekdays and weekends. I will update this in the future if I need to change it. I have never owned any pets because the house i have been in my whole life is not a compatible place for pets, and this would be my first time caring for someone elses pet in there home. But i will listen carefully and be patient with you about asking questions for your dogs likes and dislikes, what habbits she or he makes, what feeding times work, bathroom routines, when they like to relax or cuddle, what toys do they like to play with, behavioral issues, signs of anxiety and stress and about your property layout amongst other questions.

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for about 5 years now. I’ve mainly taken care of small to medium sized dogs but I’m open to looking after larger dogs as well. I am very reliable and have a lot of energy to keep your dog entertained throughout the day. I love going for walks and and going to dog parks if allowed by the owner. I live in an apartment and it’s dog-friend and the apartment has a dog area where they can relieve themselves. I live in a studio apartment but there’s plenty of open space where your pup can lounge around. I’m very attentive of your dogs needs, so I stay on top of taking them out for walks and making sure their water bowl is kept full and following their feeding schedule. Also open to grooming and showering your dog, especially if they are staying overnight with me. If your pup is energetic and loves to play we will be a great match!!

“Nevaeh walks my dogs once a day and it is such a retro know that she is there for them while I am at work. She is an absolute sweetheart and even my more stand offish dogs loves her. Could not recommend met more!”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown even more. Now that I have moved to Richmond, I'm missing my animals back home. I love making new pet buddies, and want to ensure they are as happy as can be. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends' pets throughout high school. My dog back home has allergy issues that required medication everyday, so I have experienced in giving oral medication. I am currently an afternoon nanny for two girls and part time volleyball coach, so I will have plenty of time to be around for furry friends. I always give much love to the pets I care for. I understand that all pets are different and make sure to cater to their schedule.

“Meghan was wonderful when I needed a walker last minute! Very communicative and great with my dog. We are very thankful and will definitely book with Meghan again!”

About: New users use my promo code ASHLEG56539 for $40 off your first booking! No meet & greets at the moment! I hold a certification in Small animal care I & II, as well as Veterinarian science. I have held these certification since 2019. I also own two animals of my own, who I adore more than life. Therefore, I have tons of experience with animal care and am confident in my ability to love & provide for pets! I work super early in the morning so i am home in the afternoon so im able to spend the rest of the day with your love bug & snuggle all night! I live in a house that has an unfenced but nice sized front and backyard. Therefore, we will spend majority of our time outside relaxing in the sun (unless it’s too hot or cold outside of course). I enjoy taking dogs to animal parks, I don’t mind bringing them in the car for car rides with the windows down relaxing. Consider my home a vacation for your animal not just a pet sitting service!

About: **Hablo español!** I am a huge animal lover with lots of pet care experience! I grew up with pets and have had a few of my own in my adulthood. Sadly, my senior pup, Ruth, recently passed away at around 13 years old. I miss her presence and am hoping to fill my extra time with caring for other people’s pets. I am familiar with pet medication administration and senior pet care. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! I am a lawyer with my own business, so I do not work a traditional 9 to 5 and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide pet care during the week and on weekends! I am responsible and detail-oriented. Since I have these traits, I will always pay strict attention to your instructions for your pet and be respectful of your home.

About: I moved to Richmond about a year ago, which meant leaving my two pups back home with their dad. As rural, born-and-bred dogs, city life just wasn’t the right fit for them. So now, I’m filling that gap by spending time with other people’s furry friends! I’ve become the go-to dog walker for my neighbors, and I genuinely love it—it gives me my weekly dose of wagging tails and happy walks. I’d love the chance to walk your dog and give them the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. Pet care is something I’ve naturally built into my weekly routine. Since moving to Richmond about a year ago and leaving my two dogs back home, I’ve really missed that daily connection with animals. Walking dogs has been the perfect way to stay active while still getting that time with furry companions. I regularly walk dogs for my neighbors, so I’m already used to planning my schedule around consistent walks and giving each dog dedicated attention. It’s something I genuinely look forward to each week—it doesn’t feel like a task, but more like a highlight of my day. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to fit walks into my routine in a way that works best for both you and your pup. I will provide attentive, personalized care based on each pets routine and personality, whether I’m in my client’s home or caring for them on a walk. I make sure every pet gets plenty of exercise, affection, and supervision, while sticking closely to any instructions the owner provides regarding feeding, leash use, or behavior preferences.

About: I worked for a pet sitting company (Woofies) for about a year. I have worked with all different types of dogs and cats. I have also worked with hamsters, fish and guinea pigs. I average about 8-12 visits a week and about 40 a month. I am extremely flexible and reliable as well. I have had regular clients for months on end and made bonds with lots of pets. I am currently very available and willing to work around many schedules. I am used to planning day around visits and making times for the pets. I am used to house rules and regulation. I avoid areas specified and work hard to gain client trust. I follow all tasks listed and try to get to know the pet as well. I can do meals, medications, walks/potty breaks, playtime, light cleaning and more! I follow the instructions given by the client at all times.

“Great communication during the visit!”

About: From wolfhounds to chihuahuas, I have petsat them all! I have experience with giving medicine, assisting senior dogs with mobility, exercising, playing, feeding, and giving all the affection needed. Petsitting would be split with my workday on Monday -Wednesday. I can come in the morning, during my lunch break, and spend as much time as needed after work with your pet. Friday through Sunday I can do as many visits and walks as necessary. It is safer and better to build trust with any animal if there is a meet & greet before petsitting. This helps me know the routines of your household and shows the pets that I'm not a stranger when I come to care for them. Sticking to the routines/key words they know, engaging them with praise, play, or treats, and letting the dog/cat have space when needed - are all ways to help your pet be at ease.

“Great communication and timely arrival!”

About: Hello! I hope to have the privilege of taking care of your babies. I have 2 cats and one of them is special needs, i'm surrounded by fur babies all of the time! I have experience caring for both elderly and special needs animals. Please check my calendar for my up to date availability. If you should have any questions, please message me anytime. I would be happy to address any of your concerns. It is my whole hearted hope that you will trust me to watch important members of your family! My availability for pet care is open as I am completely self employed. Taking care of someone else’s babies is a full time job! My house-sitting rate reflects 12 hour care (7PM-7AM), if you need 24 hour care please include that in your intro message and I will adjust the rates. I take safety and trust very seriously. I create a calm, predictable environment where pets are treated with patience, respect, and genuine care. I’m attentive to routines, boundaries, and individual needs, and I believe animals feel safest when they’re understood, not rushed. My goal is always to provide a clean, secure, low-stress space where pets can relax and owners can feel confident knowing their animals are truly cared for.
