“Amanda was a wonderful sitter for our doodle Henry. He loved having her and she really took great care of him. He had walks and playtime and she sent frequent pictures showing us how much fun Henry was having. I was completely at ease knowing she was at our house with him. She also left the house impeccable. We highly recommend her!!!”



“Star and Jack did an amazing job taking care of my senior girls. This is my first time using them and will definitely rebook. I felt so confident that my pups were getting the ABSOLUTE best care while I was away. So happy that I book them!”


“Morgan was absolutely amazing with our two antisocial pups. She put in the work to build a relationship with each of them and make sure they were comfortable while we were away. She made sure to send frequent updates to calm the nerves of this anxious dog mom. 10/10 recommend Morgan for all of your pet needs.”


“Kat did an awesome job watching my two boys while petsitting at my house. It almost looked as if Jackson (my dog) was disappointed to see me instead of her when I came home. She even watered my plants which look better than they did when I left. Would highly recommend and will rebook in the future!”


“We hit the jackpot with Lindsey! She watched our 4 pets after a last minute booking and did a wonderful job of following our instructions/requests and keeping us informed every day. One of our dogs got sick and she quickly notified us. We came home to some happy animals!”


“I am so thankful to have Eyowyn care for my dogs. It was the first time leaving my Velcro pets. She worked patiently with us when we had last minute changes. She was able to calm them and they enjoyed her visits. Her confidence in being able to handle the situation allowed me to relax and enjoy my weekend away. I am so happy she will be in the area for another year!”


“Cameron was amazing with our 2 Great Danes and cat! She took them to the dog park and on lots of walks! Lots of pictures were shared and we came back to healthy, happy animals!”


“Sara sat with our older dog Snorkie. She arrived on time and kept me informed throughout the day on how things were going. We felt secure knowing our baby was being cared for. We will definitely use Sara again.”


About: Hi! My name is Alyssa and I have plenty of experience when it comes to pets! At home in Richmond I have 3 dogs 4 cats , a chameleon and a fish! Looking forward to helping out and spending time with some of y'all's pets!! I currently take online classes through jmu so my availability is pretty open! Weekends work best as I work a few hrs throughout the week but am never gone for more than 3 hrs at a time! My apartment complex is safe and also has a dog park! I live with one other roommate so there is plenty of space and also not too many people around for more shy animals!

“Abigail is attentive, warm and friendly. She asked the right questions about Ripley, our 11 year old Shichon, and our home where she will home sit. Ripley is very cautious and over protective. But when she met Abigail for the first time, she immediately warmed up to her. We will rebook with Abigail again!”

“I'm almost afraid to leave an honest review. BECAUSE, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO BOOK HIM AGAIN! And I don't want him to be too busy. He did a wonderful job with our dog and our house. Saxon got all the exercise he needed, then apparently slept the afternoon away. Our home looked exactly how we left it. Maybe even better. Finn came for a meet and greet with Saxon and asked great questions about what Saxon likes and does not do, or should no do. We were very pleased and would definitely book him again.”

Sam arrived on time and kept me updated. My dogs were relaxed and happy when I got home and the house was spotless. My boys are looking forward to more visits with Sam!”

Adrian M.
“I have a 4 year old poochon who is a bit shy with strangers and the way he gravitated towards Adriane had me so surprised!! He allowed her to give him a belly rub which I’ve only seen him do to the immediate household members that live in the house. Adriane definitely has a warm and friendly spirit to her that my little guy Cody drew towards. Adriane made sure his feedings were on time. She not only walked him but also took him to the dog park in our neighborhood and sent pictures to update me throughout the day. Cody’s fur is very high-maintenance and needs to be brushed everyday. Adriane took care of that for me and gave me one less thing to worry about when I got home. I highly recommend her services and I look forward to having her watch Cody again!”

Morgan cared for my four dogs in my home. She is wonderful. I highly recommend her. She sent me pictures daily which in turn allowed me to enjoy being away from home and not worry about the dogs being ok. You will not regret having Morgan care for your dogs.
