Rabekah was fabulous. Responded quickly and professionally to all communications, very sweet with our dogs, and went above and beyond in so many ways. We have one difficult dog that she won over quickly, and was patient with any additional needs. Will definitely book again.

Devynn did an amazing job watching Darcy! I was so happy she was available again to take care of Darcy. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Darcy was so loved while I was away. I got so many cute pictures and updates! She also was very mindful of my home and left everything spotless. Thank you for doing such a great job watching her!

About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I’ve raised puppies—like my sweet girl River, who I had from 8 weeks old to 3 years—I’ve grown to love the rhythm and bond that comes with dogs at every stage of life. What sets me apart is a deep sense of patience, attentiveness, and love that comes from years of hands-on experience. I’m especially comfortable with routines, emotional needs, and making sure your dog feels safe and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic, mellow, senior, or somewhere in between, I show up with calm energy, genuine care, and a heart full of love for every pup I meet. I currently work remote so I have the flexibility to go on walks during the afternoon, evening, early morning or whenever they need to go out! I’m currently in an house with no other pets. I have plenty of room for them to hangout and feel safe. I’ll make sure they get lots of cuddles and walks.

Sara was a great, loving partner for our Wheaton Terrier while we were away. She communicated regularly and administered ear drops for an ear infection diagnosed right before our departure. I highly recommend her.

My dog and I were very pleased with Karen, she took really good care of him and was very flexible in the organisation. Karen stayed even over in our house for the best support to our dog. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and friendly persitter.

Victoria was amazing with our dog while we were gone. Our older dog unfortunately passes away a week before we left town and we couldn’t change our plans so we were so worried about our younger dog. Victoria gave her lots of love and attention and made sure she was kept occupied a lot so she didn’t get sad. She even brought her dogs over to play with her and brought them to our dog park. We couldn’t have been more grateful to her for taking such good care of our baby. We would recommend her 100%

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely care about making both pets and owners feel comfortable. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and home with someone else, and I treat that responsibility with a lot of care. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to the little details that help pets feel secure, from keeping their routine consistent to giving them the right mix of affection, space, and structure. I also write everything down and make sure I have the routine down to a T. I’m comfortable with pets who have different personalities and needs, whether they’re shy, anxious, energetic, senior, or still learning the rules. I have been around large dogs as well as smaller dogs and cats all my life. I can comfortably handle all sizes of pets. I follow instructions closely, communicate clearly, and always try to care for pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. I pride myself on being deeply organized and always giving 100 percent, as well as being an open communicator. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. Pet care fits well into my current daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and am able to plan my day around each pet’s needs. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible because I know consistency can make a big difference, especially when their owner is away. I care for pets in their own home because I know many pets feel safest and most comfortable in a familiar environment. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the space with the same respect and care I would want from someone caring for my own home. Safety and trust are very important to me. I’m very mindful of each pet’s personality and comfort level. Some pets want attention and playtime right away, while others need patience, space, and a calm presence. I do my best to meet each pet where they are and keep their routine as normal as possible. I also take caring for someone’s home seriously. I keep things clean, tidy up after pets, respect the client’s space, and communicate clearly if I notice anything unusual.

About: Richmond native welcoming fur babies of all shapes & sizes from Chihuahua to Pyrenees! I prefer drop in visits for large dogs and cats and if they like car rides we can go to many dog friendly places! I like to board one pet at a time, or two if they live together for safety reasons. Note: Meet and greets for new clients before booking is required, thanks! I have a part time and available after 3pm to assist. I am available holidays, weekends, and most evenings. Excited to accommodate the needs of your fur babies while you are away! Able to follow all medical guidelines received from pet owners, if any. Certified in pet First Aid/CPR. I have experience giving medications to dogs and cats. Keeping your fur babies hydrated and comfortable while you are away is number one on my list! Crates (fur baby beds) are required for high energy pets. We will go on walks 2-4 times a day. 🐕‍🦺🚶‍♀️

Debbie took great care of Moxie. I'm always nervous leaving my girl with a new sitter, but Debbie put me right at ease. Her two dogs are sweet and calm and it was great for Moxie to have companions. If your dog is nervous, she has ways to keep them separated. I appreciated the daily updates, photos, and videos and reassurance so I could relax and enjoy my business trip. I will definitely leave Moxie in Debbie's care again.

Cassie cared for our dog Cooper at our home while we attended our son’s wedding. She kept in constant communication and sent many photos. We were so happy to see Cooper relax and even cuddle with her. Knowing she stayed with him put us completely at ease. We highly recommend Cassie and will definitely contact her again for future travel.

The moment Mary walked into the yard both of my dogs sat at her feet in total comfort ( they can be picky). She is a total delight to get to know and to work with and to take care of your fur babies. She’s very responsible, communicative, conscientious. I will ask her to pet sit again and again. I highly recommend Mary as a dependable pet sitter.

There isn’t enough room to express how amazing Nicole is! She went above and beyond to make sure this dog mama felt secure with leaving her animals! Pictures every day along with amazing communication. She even left holiday cards with pictures of our babies. Nicole is the only person I want to watch my “kids” from here out. My only concern is my animals might start to love her more than my husband and I.
