Danielle was wonderful! She was very communicative throughout the stay and sent regular pictures and updates, which gave me great peace of mind. My dogs were clearly happy and well cared for when I got home. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Michele was amazing with my three animals— we were a last-minute booking and she came to meet them first and then worked hard to make them feel at ease. She was attentive, kind, and caring and sent us updates and photos to reassure us that all was well. She made our holiday trip possible and we are super grateful!!

Erica was fantastic! We were out of town for a week and needed someone we could trust to stay at our house and provide daily feeding and walks for our two dogs. We received daily updates, including photos of our dogs while eating, walking, sleeping, all the things. We came home to relaxed, stress-free dogs I even think our cocker spaniel developed a little crush on Erica! We plan on using Erica again in the future and have already recommended her to neighbors and friends.

About: My partner and I both work fully remote so we’re home all day with a ton of flexibility for long walks and activities. He’s had golden retrievers in the family since childhood and I’ve rescued several dogs from the Dominican Republic. Currently, we don’t have any pets in our home as they’re all with other family members. With that said, we miss the pup cuddles and would love to give your pet the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. We’re extremely flexible with our work schedules and enjoy getting distracted by furry friends :) Between the two of us, we’ll take turns going on walks/to the dog park if the weather is decent. Attention to the pet is beneficial to all parties. We are practically step-parents to many friends/families animals so have become familiar with how much love and care they need. Your pets should feel at home in ours. Mi casa, Su casa.

About: I have spent decades caring for dogs—many of them rescues with complex or traumatic histories. I understand that every animal experiences the world differently, and I take the time to learn their individual cues, comfort levels, and needs. I offer in-home pet sitting and structure my schedule around your pet’s established routine. Feeding times, walks, medication, exercise, and downtime are kept consistent to minimize stress while you’re away. I am available for overnight and extended stays. I prioritize clear communication and provide regular updates so you feel confident your home and animals are in good hands.

Meg was very responsive and communicated throughout the visit. She provided extra attention and care during storms and we were thrilled with all the pictures of a happy girl. She not only cared for our pet, but the house was well taken care of and everything was as we had left it. We highly recommend Meg and Kyle.

About: My whole life I have grown up owning multiple dogs. Right now I have three dogs at home, two beagles and a king charles cavalier spaniel. I am a full time pet lover and treat every animal with the same kindness and respect. I also have training experience so dogs of any and all ages would not be a problem for me! I also work part time at Lemaire at the Jefferson Hotel in the evenings. However, my schedule is still very flexible, especially during the day, so that i can accommodate your animal’s needs. I am available Monday-Sunday and some holidays. I am currently a part time employee at Lemaire at the Jefferson Hotel. I am typically free all day on Monday’s and Tuesday’s. Wednesday-Sunday I am available until 3pm and after 10pm. I always make sure windows and doors are shut in the house at all times especially before leaving the house. I also never take an animal off leash unless there is a fenced in area. Before leaving the house I always check to make sure there is nothing potentially dangerous hanging around that could be gotten into.

About: Friendly sitter with experience with senior pups, cats and chickens. I currently have two wonderful dogs and a handful of chickens. One of our dogs is what we believe is a Foxhound and the other is a Shepherd mix. Both are rescues so we are not sure. I also have experience with cats, parrots (green crowned conure) and various farm animals. Update: I no longer work from home. I am now in Richmond M-F, 8-5. I am happy to stop by during my lunch break to check on your babies in the city. Any other surrounding areas would have to be weekends and not during work hours. Apologies for any inconvenience! I am happy to stop by your home and care for your pets. One of my pups is reactive and we do not want to make her (or your baby) uncomfortable by bringing other pets into our space.

Megan was spectacular, stepping in with very short notice to dog sit my puppy for a week when my original sitter canceled a few days before I left. She took very good care of my dog a provided some very cute photos of the fun they were having

Jordan did an excellent job taking care of our two German Shepherds which can at times be challenging because of their energy and stubbornness! She sent regular updates, followed their routine, excellent communication, and our kept the house so neat and tidy! She was also so thoughtful and flexible in her willingness to stay longer if we had issues with our travel back home. We so appreciate this support especially during the holidays. She is an excellent sitter overall and I would highly recommend her!

About: I've been a devoted dog lover and caregiver since I was 14, accumulating over a decade of hands-on experience with our furry friends. From energetic daily walks to cozy overnight boarding, I've done it all. Whether it's a quick potty break, a long adventure-filled walk, or extended stays, I have the experience to ensure your pup receives the best care possible. My years of practice have taught me to understand and respond to each dog's unique needs, making every pet-sitting experience positive and tailored to your furry family member. I'm currently working remotely with flexible hours and have availability throughout the day all seven days. Since I take care of my own dog, I spend at least two hours outside a day and pet care is incorporated throughout my routine. My approach to pet care is tailored to each dog's unique needs, whether I'm caring for them in my home or theirs. I've worked with a wide range of dogs, from anxious and timid to energetic and even aggressive ones that needed special handling. In-home care: I maintain the dog's routine, following your instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise. For anxious dogs, I provide a calm, reassuring presence. For high-energy pups, I ensure plenty of physical and mental stimulation. Home boarding: I create a safe, welcoming space in my home. For dogs needing special accommodations, like those who can't be around others, I provide separate, secure areas. Daily walks and visits: I adapt to each dog's pace and stamina, always attentive to their comfort level and adjusting activities as needed. Regardless of the service, my priority is the dog's well-being and happiness. I'm committed to providing loving, attentive care that respects each dog's individual personality and needs, drawing on my experience with diverse canine temperaments and behaviors.

Zach and Logan did a great job with the pups over the wkend. They were helpful not only with them, but caring for my chickens and hanging baskets while we were gone. I was a bit apprehensive about having someone I didn't know stay in my home but they made it easy and are very trustworthy. They are good communicators and kept me informed throughout their stay on how the pups were doing. Highly recommend them. Definitely will call upon them in the future.

Tina was wonderful with our puppy. He had never had a pet sitter before, and she took excellent and loving care of him, with lots of play time, exercise, and even some training. He even cried when she left! We will definitely ask her to take care of him again.

About: I work as a veterinary rehab assistant. I have the ability to care for medically managed pets. I can also care for lare animals and have over 15 years of experience. I work full time Monday through Thursday, which allows me to offer dedicated pet care in the evenings during the week and full availability Friday through Sunday. Your pets will never feel rushed—I carefully plan around my work schedule to ensure they receive attentive, consistent care, plenty of love, and the individualized attention they deserve. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets (and your home) with someone else. When I’m caring for your pets in your home, I focus on keeping their days feeling as normal and comfortable as possible. I stick closely to their usual routine—meals, walks, medications, playtime, and quiet moments—while giving them lots of love and attention. I treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’ll always send updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing. My goal is simple: happy, relaxed pets and peace of mind for you.

David was an excellent choice to stay with our elderly dog while we were away. He was on time for everything. Kimi took to him right away. He gave Kimi 2 medicines per day as well as playing with her to keep her active. He stayed at our home and took care of everything while we were away and we're very pleased. We'll hire David again when we need care for Kimi.

Riley took excellent care of my 3 senior dogs, all 3 on meds, including 1 that is diabetic and needed blood glucose monitoring and insulin shots. I was thrilled to find someone with experience with diabetes. Thanks Riley!
