1. Kyle J.

“I recently hired Kyle as a house and dogsitter, and I couldn't be more impressed with his service. From the moment he stepped into my home, I felt at ease knowing my house and beloved pets were in capable hands. Not only did he maintain the cleanliness and security of my home, but he also went above and beyond in caring for my furry companions. He followed all instructions meticulously, ensuring my pets' routines were maintained and that they received plenty of love and attention. Kyle demonstrated exceptional responsibility and reliability throughout his stay, and I returned to find my house in impeccable condition and my pets happy and healthy. I highly recommend Kyle for anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring house and dogsitter. His professionalism and genuine love for animals truly set him apart.”

“Oli was such an amazing dog sitter!!! She sent pictures and updates as I was gone and really made me and my baby comfortable. 10/10 would recommend.”


3. Nancy O.

“Nancy’s incredibly communicative and caring when dogsitting for our 2 small pups and my mom’s small Havanese. We felt our pups were in great hands and she was easy to work with when we had some last minute changes. One of our dogs is anxious and reactive - Nancy was thoughtful and patient in meeting him which we greatly appreciative. Will definitely hire her in the future.”


4. Alexander S.

“Alex did a great job with our 2 pups. He took detailed notes at our meet and greet and followed their feeding and walking schedules carefully. Great communication and pics so we knew they were receiving good care. We’ve already booked Alex for our next time away”




5. Melanie C.

“I can’t say enough great things about Melanie! She took such amazing care of my Frenchie while I was away. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves dogs and knew exactly how to handle my pup’s quirky personality and needs. I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which totally put my mind at ease. My Frenchie came back happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little spoiled—in the best way! I’m so grateful for the love and attention they gave. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again!”


6. Shaine S.

“Hollie is great! She keeps me updated and I can tell she cares about my animals. My house is always exactly as I left it. I will definitely continue to hire her!”


7. Victor S.

“Victor did great sitting for Ellie, kept her company all day, listened to her needs, gave her food and her medicine. Would absolutely book him again in the future!”


8. Savanna G.

“Savanna was incredible! She cared for both our dogs while we were out of the country, giving consistent updates as well as peace of mind so we could fully enjoy our trip. Our two pups are very different and she was great at meeting both where they were at. She was patient with our anxious dog and built his trust and was able to take our more adventurous pup on long walks and play! She also was a great house guest and took wonderful care of our home while we were gone. I can not recommend her more highly, she was absolutely exceptional!!”


9. Giselle C.


“Giselle is amazing!! We've tried multiple dog sitters and multiple apps and she by far exceeded our expectations! She is sweet and updates us on the pups. She cared for our old pup while he was having some problems and had no complaints from neighbors either. Definitely use her for your dog needs”


10. Rachel K.

“Rachel was fantastic with our pets!! She sent numerous pics and was always extremely communicative of her schedule. We’ll definitely be using her again!”


11. Lynne F.

“Incredible care for our dogs while on a week vacation. With a big lab on medications and a stubborn corgi to deal with, she took everything in stride and we are thrilled with the care they received. The only reason not to book Lynne is because we want to know she’d have availability for us!!”


12. Kyla B.

“Kyla was so incredible! She sent frequent updates throughout the weekend and gave me such peace of mind while I was away from my pet! Can't recommend her enough!”


13. Kathleen M.

He went above and beyond expectation I would definitely rehire David.”

18. Mariah C.
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with a mom who worked in the Richmond Animal Shelter & a house full of adopted animals. From my sisters spoiled Pibble baby to my neighbors sweet little Yorkie, I’ve been their go to sitter/walker to watch their babies because they know I’ll love on them like my own fur babies 💕 I love to do Meet & Greets prior to your baby’s walk/drop-in if feasible. Coko & I are available Saturdays & Sundays for Meet & Greets! I am a mom of 3 & we have a Shih-poo named Coko. My babies have all grown up around family dogs and understand to be gentle with fur babies. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly so I’m sure we’ll meet a friend or two on ours walks.


19. Whitney S.
“Whitney is the sweetest, most caring pet sitter I’ve ever had! She pays attention to my cat’s needs and makes sure to spend quality time with her. It makes my day when she sends me photos of my cat while I’m away. :) Her attention to detail and sincere care for animals make her the best pet sitter I could ever ask for!”


20. Joi H.

“Joi was an amazing sitter. Our dog had a health emergency while we were away and she handled it calmly and with great care. She kept us informed and kept our baby safe. It involved spending hours in the vet emergency room and then monitoring the patient every two hours. We are so grateful for her calm and caring.”
