“Noah’s the best! He took great care of our pup and sent regular check ins and photos while we were away. He always leaves our home clean and we never worry while we’re enjoying our travels! Thanks so much Noah!”


“We had Lucas sit our 4 y/o mix retriever in our house who is energetic but timid & very attached to us. He did an excellent job looking after her by making sure she had appropriate interaction time, play time, feedings, etc. He also gave her the space to deal with us being gone. All-in-all when we returned she was more relaxed and that was due to how well Lucas took care of her and her not having to leave her home for care. We feel Lucas was a fantastic sitter and will continue to book with him for our dog sitting needs. Craig & Sue”

“Wesley was an amazing dog sitter. When I got home from my trip, Sadie was relaxed, the house was tidy and even my plants were happy! Wesley sent pictures and videos of Sadie which I appreciated. There was also a puppy report and a card waiting to inform me of the happenings of the stay. I could not recommend Wesley enough.”


“We have had Randi stay with our dogs multiple times and will continue to do so as long as she’ll keep coming back! We always rest easy knowing they are well taken care of. Thank you, Randi!”

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 will be in Richmond working full time, it will be a new job so I will be in town for a while! I start work at 10:30 so I will be available mornings and later at night. 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.
“We’ve used Quincy twice. He’s amazing. He walked and fed our dog well, which is the job. More importantly, he loves her, and that makes all the difference. It’s obvious from the frequent pics and videos how well she’s doing. This isn’t always the case, particularly since our pup can get a little moody. He’s left our house at least as nice as he’s found it. He’s communicative and flexible (when he can be). Can’t recommend him highly enough.”

“Kyle was wonderful with Oakley and staying with him overnights. We came home to a less anxious and angry Oakley and all of our bedding in one piece ….Yay Kyle !!! Would recommend to all that want a well done job”

About: My time with pets is shaped by what helps each one feel secure and comfortable. That may mean an active outing, beach time, playful yard time, a favorite walking path, or simply moving at a slower pace with plenty of pauses and patience. Whether a dog wants meaningful exercise or gentle companionship outdoors, I adjust naturally to what suits them best. After relocating to Ashland, I now have open flexibility focused on pet care with adaptability to various energy levels , limitations and compassion to every pet’s Phase of life. I connect deeply with each pet and provide gentle, attentive care for senior, special-needs, and active dogs. I create a calm, safe, and loving environment while always following your pet’s routine and comfort level.
“Alicia was a perfect fit as a sitter for our four little dogs, each with their own quirks and personalities. We received updates from her throughout the time we were away, along with photos and videos. We returned home to find everything just as we left it, and out four dogs healthy and happy to see us. I would recommend Alicia for your dog sitting needs, and will surely call upon her again for our next time away from home.”

About: Hi. I have over 25 years of trusted pet care experience and am known as “The Paw Sitter.” My specialty is in-home overnight care where pets remain in their familiar environment and maintain their daily routines. I support pets across all life stages — from playful, energetic companions who love engagement and activity, to senior or special-needs pets requiring gentle handling, medication support, and thoughtful caution. I have experience with special diets, administering medications, and providing emotional comfort by sleeping near or with pets as they are accustomed to with their pet parent. My approach balances safety, attentiveness, play, and affection so pets feel secure and cared for while families feel confident and at ease while away. I’m happy to travel further distances depending on the booking. Hi, Pet care fits naturally into my life, allowing flexible availability for overnight and extended in-home sitting. I adapt to each pet’s routine with walks, yard play, park visits when appropriate, and always begin with a meet-and-greet so everyone feels comfortable. Hi. I care for pets where they feel safest, loved, and undisturbed by changes to their routine. I follow established schedules, maintain feeding, litter, and pee-pad areas, administer medications when needed, and offer play or cuddles based on each pet’s unique personality, including multi-pet households. I enjoy being a Paw Sitter, sharing gentle presence with your pet in their familiar home.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs multiple times for an about 4 years. I’m very understanding and don’t ever get mad or stressed with animals even if they don’t listen and I always have a good time spending time with animals. I have a part time job so my routine is pretty flexible. If you need a last minute sitter for a night or for a few hours let me know! I have a cat who is very sweet, his name is Berlin and he gets along and is very playful with animals even hamsters lol
“Rebecca was amazing! She met our two dogs a week before we left for our trip - something that definitely makes us feel confident in our pick, especially as we have an anxious pup and a bigger pit mix. Rebecca kept us updated throughout her stay with our girls, sending plenty of pics and videos to let us know what love fest we were missing!”

“Kate was wonderful with my girls! She is so calm and a kind. She walked and played with my 90-lb dog and sassy kitten, and they loved her! She sent the cutest pictures and communicated quickly so I didn't have to worry about whether my pets were okay. Highly recommend!”

About: I've owned dogs, cats & horses my entire life. I currently have 2 rescue dogs, 2 cats and a horse that are all treated like human children. I'm familiar with both young and elderly animals that require medical assistance. I work from home in Glen Allen. I have a flexible schedule and can check on your pet during the day and before/after work. I am comfortable with walking all dogs, crating dogs, working on commands and especially providing love and treats if desired! Happy to also prepare lick mats or other stimulation while you're away.
