About: I am a fur mommy to an amazing little guy we call Charlie Brown! He is wonderful with adults and children alike! We would love to find him some new friends by watching your cute fur babies too! In my house, someone is always home, so your pet would never be alone! We love to go on long walks through the neighborhood and the local park. Our Charlie Brown loves car rides! My husband is great with animals and loves to play with them! We also have a 3 year old girl who is learning to play with our dogs as well and a full of life 6 year old boy who loves animals, so playtime is all the time here! There is never a dull moment, that's for sure! If you aren't comfortable with your pet coming to our house, that's ok too! I can come to you! I'm a trustworthy, respectful, playful dogsitter as well. Transportation is not an issue. I can stay over night or I can just check in from time to time with your little one. It's all up to you! Let me know what you need and we can figure it all out. I am looking forward to hearing from you and to getting to know all of those adorable fur babies!!!! "Ready to spoil, walk, pet and play! With our family, it's always a fun day!!!" I work for myself so my schedule is never an issue! Whatever may be needed, I will make happen. However, written instructions are always helpful! I don't have a fenced yard. However I do have a runner line that your pets can be hooked to outside so they can play as much as they want to without worry!!

“Mary was a very friendly and accommodating dog walker. Cisco seemed to like her, and I've no doubt that they had a great time on the long walks they took. For his birthday I asked her to do a little something extra for him, which I was pleased that she did. Highly recommend! You we be so glad you used her services!”


“Frankie was so great and flexible with my schedule as we were traveling through the area and needed someone to watch pepper while we stopped and grabbed some food. Thank you! :)”


About: With over 50 years of pet ownership and caretaking experience as a foster through Lab Rescue of Greater Richmond, I would treat your furry friends as my own. I’ve had both dogs and cats and am comfortable administering medications and working with pets of all ages. As a retiree with no pets of my own at the moment, it’d be a great joy to take care of yours. I’m fully retired so I have plenty of time available to devote to the care and well-being of your pets. I’m happy to do scheduled drop-in visits during the day or overnights if needed throughout Augusta County. As a former foster parent, I have worked with dogs of varying comfort levels and special needs. I would take care of your pets with the same level of care and support as my own. I’m just as happy to go on a nice walk as I am to be a couch potato - whatever your pet needs, I’m here for them.

“Great service for Persia. Look forward to scheduling more walks and possibly boarding in the future. Amanda was very knowledgeable and helpful since I was a first time user of Rover. Persia enjoyed her walks and looks forward to seeing her again.”

Samantha "Iris" H.
“Samantha aka Iris went above and beyond as my house/pet sitter. I was very nervous leaving my highly reactive beagle alone with a stranger for the first time. But her experience with dogs shows and my beagle was able to relax with her as if they had always been friends. She received great care with walks and playtime. Iris also took loving care of my cats, and they were very happy while I was gone. I received daily updates so I knew my fur babies were safe and sound. My house was tidy when I returned home, with all of my instructions followed perfectly. For the first time I feel safe leaving my home and I recommend her pet caregiving 100% 10/10. Thank you!”
