“Steven is a rockstar!! He is trustworthy and flexible. He also was so helpful in letting us know that our back up sump pump battery was beeping due to a power outage. We were quickly able to get someone over to assist. Had we not known this, the rain could have led to a flood in our basement. Steven is more than a dog sitter!! So very helpful and we’re grateful to have him help us when we need him! Book him NOW!! Don’t hesitate!! do it.”

About: I have owned dogs all my life. At one point I owned 4! I am moving home from college and just got a job in Richmond. I am very flexible and will be in town to help out whenever needed! I am an elementary school teacher in Hanover County during the school year! I am fully open during the summer to care for your pets during the day. I treat them like my own! I love to hang out with pets, and I love a list. If there is a specific set of things to do, I will follow it exactly and make sure the pet gets what they need.

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my calm, attentive approach and my background in caregiving. I have many years of experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs who need extra patience, slower walks, and thoughtful routines. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and adjusting activity levels to meet each dog’s needs. On walks, I’m happy to let dogs take their time, especially senior dogs who benefit from slower pacing and plenty of sniffing. I genuinely enjoy engaging with dogs who like to play, while also respecting the boundaries of dogs who prefer a quieter, gentler presence. My professional background in caregiving has taught me the importance of reliability, attentiveness, and respecting rules and routines. I take pet owners’ instructions seriously and care for dogs with kindness, empathy, and consistency, so they feel safe and well cared for. I work Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. During the workweek, I’m available for morning and evening walks, drop-ins, and care. When I’m house sitting, I can provide morning and evening walks, and on Thursdays and Fridays I work from home, allowing for additional presence and a midday check-in or walk during my lunch break. On weekends, I have more flexibility and availability, which allows me to be more present and attentive to pets who benefit from extra time, companionship, or a relaxed routine. I will come to you and your furry friends. I follow routines as closely as possible and create a calm, safe, and respectful environment. In my clients’ homes, I take time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and boundaries. I carefully follow all instructions around feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and household rules. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, energy, or appetite and communicate clearly with pet owners so they feel informed and at ease. I adjust my care based on each pet, whether that means slower, sniff-friendly walks for senior dogs, gentle play for dogs who enjoy engagement, or quiet companionship for pets who prefer space. I keep homes clean, maintain litter boxes or feeding areas, and make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while their people are away.

“Kim was great. She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures to let me know that my 3 month old pup was doing great. Definitely gave me peace of mind leaving him at home!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! Growing up as an only child, our pets were my built-in best friends and caring for them was my responsibility from a young age. That love for animals has only grown with me. Over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me to drop in, walk, and stay with their pets while they’re away, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal and their individual personality, routines, and quirks. These days, I’m a mom to a toddler and three very loved pets of my own, including my Golden Retriever, who is always happy to join me for a random walk during the day! I’d love to add a few more furry friends to my walking schedule and give them the same attention, patience, and affection I give my own. In our house, pets aren’t just pets, they’re family. I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I’ll always treat yours with the same love and importance I would want someone to give mine. Whether they need a good walk, some playtime, company, or just someone to make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away, I’d be so happy to be that person! I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout my day! I’m able to come and go as needed, so fitting walks, drop-ins, and visits into my daily routine is easy. I also have a great support system at home, which allows me to be flexible with scheduling and give your pets the time and attention they need. Because my work is remote, I can also bring it with me when needed! If your pet would benefit from a little extra company beyond a typical drop-in, I’m happy to settle in with my laptop and spend some additional time with them rather than rushing out the door. As a mom and pet owner myself, caring for both little humans and furry family members is already a big part of my everyday life. My child has been raised around animals and taught from the beginning to be gentle and respectful of their space. My schedule allows me plenty of freedom to make pet care a natural, and very welcome, part of my day! In our house, pet care is part of our everyday routine! I make sure fresh water is always available both upstairs and downstairs and changed daily, my cats’ food is checked and replenished each day, and my dog eats on a consistent twice-daily schedule. When I’m home, my dog gets a morning or afternoon walk, plenty of trips outside to our fenced backyard throughout the day, and usually a daycare day or two each week for some extra exercise and socialization. When I leave the house, I’m also very mindful of his safety, he stays comfortably downstairs with access to his bed and water, potential chewing hazards are put away, and toys that require supervision are never left out. I’d bring that same level of attention to caring for your pets! I know every animal and household has its own routine, so I’m happy to follow your feeding schedule, potty or litter box routine, walking preferences, playtime rules, and any other instructions that help your pet feel comfortable. Whether your pet thrives on a strict schedule or has their own wonderfully specific set of quirks, I want their routine to feel as normal as possible while you’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I wait to begin my career as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant in late August. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾

About: I have lived on a farm my whole life. At age 12 I started managing our family farm, which ment taking care of all of our animals, from the horses to the rabbits. There are two rules I keep for myself: 1) every animal has a purpose and a name. They are not just a number (which is important to remember on a farm) 2) They are fed and cared for before anything else. It doesn't matter what's going on they are my first thought when I wake up. I take care of them before I eat. I am currently a college student and working part time for the school. My times and avalibility will change when I resume school in September. Because I live on a farm, I am blessed that my cats can safely be indoor - outdoor cats. I do have a house cat, and I have two outdoor cats. For dogs, I am used to taking dogs on walks, and letting them into secure, fensed in yards.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have extensive hands on experience caring for a wide variety of breeds, including French Bulldogs, Labrador Retrievers, and American Bullies. Growing up in a multi dog family, I learned early on how to manage different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. I believe in treating every guest dog like a member of my own family. Your pup will enjoy a structured, fun day packed with plenty of outdoor playtime, mental stimulation, and healthy treats. Whether your dog is a high energy fetch champion or a professional couch snuggler who needs a gentle touch, I promise to give them the absolute best care and keep them spoiled rotten! Because I work entirely from home and have a highly flexible schedule, pet care is the central focus of my daily routine! I am at home throughout the day, which means your pet will receive constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and unlimited companionship.My routine revolves around the needs of the animals in my care. I provide structured feeding times, regular indoor/outdoor playtime, and plenty of dedicated attention. Your pet will never have to worry about being left alone for long stretches of time, making my home perfect for pets who thrive on human presence and routine. When pets stay in my home, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer a cozy, apartment style environment where your pet is treated exactly like family. Since I have four indoor cats of my own, I maintain a strictly secure environment with locked doors and windows.I introduce new pets slowly and carefully. If your pet prefers their own space, my home allows for easy separation using separate rooms or baby gates so everyone feels safe and relaxed. Your pet will enjoy full access to the living areas, comfortable places to lounge, and constant attention throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow the routine you have established to keep your pet's stress levels as low as possible. I am incredibly respectful of your living space and leave it exactly as I found it. During my visits, I focus entirely on your pet's needs handling feeding, fresh water, litter box scooping, and administering any necessary medications or topical treatments. I always make time for quality play, head scratches, and cuddles, and I will send you detailed updates and photos after every visit so you have complete peace of mind.

“Victoria did such a wonderful job with my puppy! There was a throw up accident in his crate and she maintained amazing communication and cleaned everything up so well ensuring my house was left in wonderful condition! She sent wonderful pictures and my puppy had so much fun during the visit! I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter! :)”

About: Hi! I'm Reis, a dependable and active animal lover with both professional and personal pet care experience. I previously worked at a dog boarding facility where I supervised doggie daycare, monitored group play, and helped ensure dogs stayed safe, happy, and well cared for throughout the day. This experience taught me how to work with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels. In addition to my professional experience, I have provided overnight house-sitting and pet-sitting services, caring for pets in their own homes and maintaining their regular routines while their owners were away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and secure, and I strive to provide attentive, loving care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. As someone with an active lifestyle, I enjoy spending time outdoors and can provide plenty of exercise, walks, playtime, and companionship. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a weekend sitter, or just some extra attention during the day, I'll treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own. I currently work a part-time job that allows me to have a lot of flexibility. I am able to work in all of Richmond and surrounding areas as well. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Through my experience working at a dog daycare facility, overnight house-sitting, and caring for both a senior dog and a young dog of my own, I've learned that every pet has different needs and energy levels. Whether your pet prefers a relaxed walk and extra patience or lots of activity and play, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and feel safe, happy, and loved.
