“One of a kind! Kendall is incredibly reliable and a wonderful communicator. We felt our animals were in good hands the entire week. Last minute our cat got an infection and she didn’t bat an eye to administering his medication daily. Our cats were both relaxed and happy when we got home, plus the dishes were done and the house was tidy!”

“Emily was fantastic!!! She was able to come on short notice to watch my blind dog while I was at an appointment, pictures were sent while I was out and more importantly my lil man was kept safe and cared for!! Talk about peace of mind she made my day worry free, Thank You So Much!”

“This was my first time having someone stay at my house with my pup instead of bringing her somewhere. I completely trust Oli with her, it went well! I look forward to Oli helping my pup again for a wedding in September :)”

“Cheyenne did a wonderful job caring for our 3 aussies in our home while we were on vacation. She was very responsive and responsible. We will definitely hire her again for our pet care needs!”

“This was our first time using Rover and we hit the jackpot with Ezra! Our dogs absolutely adored him from the moment he arrived and were clearly so comfortable and happy in his care. While we were out of town, he took exceptional care of them—keeping them well-fed, exercised, and loved—and sent us regular, thoughtful updates that put our minds completely at ease. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he’s watching. We felt so lucky to find him and would recommend Ezra to anyone in a heartbeat. Five stars isn’t enough!”

“Thane was great! Our pups and cat were well taken care of and our house was just as we left it! Communication was great and loved all of the pictures that were sent as well - would definitely book again!”

“Mitch was great! He took good care of my dog while I was out of town and was easy to communicate with. He shared updates while I was gone and I would definitely recommend him and use his services again in the future!”

“Look no further for an amazing sitter! Carla is truly a one of a kind sitter! Our dog Zeppelin was in good hands. Carla provided updates for us throughout the day with him. Took him out numerous times, provide the love & care for zeppelin. Truly amazing! Definitely rebooking in future dates. Thank you Carla for being awesome! ?”

“Maggie did a great job watching our dog Audubon for the weekend. In addition to being very sweet and playing with Aud, she was proactively, timely, and followed Aud’s schedule to a tee. We got lots of updates and photos from Maggie and she left our house just as she found it! Would absolutely book again.”

“Elizabeth was great with Ron! She sent timely photos and updates to keep me in the loop with Ron while I was away. Left my house tidy and as it was prior to my departure. Would book again!”

“Kristen was wonderful! She took excellent care of Pepper and Merlin while we were away. She was attentive to their routines, followed all medication instructions, and made sure they received plenty of attention and quality time. Communication was great throughout, and she kept me informed, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She even went above and beyond by bringing in packages that arrived while we were away. Most importantly, I came home to two happy pups! I would absolutely book with Kristen again and highly recommend her!”

“Kaleb took great care of both my pups and left my apparent in great condition for when I arrived home from my trip! He stayed a week in my apartment with my dogs and sent daily updates with clear communication. Both dogs seemed to enjoy his company and were kept busy with 3 walks a day. Kaleb was kind and easy to work with, will use his services again!”

“Dawn was great with our 2 rambunctious doodles. She sent pics and updates regularly. Took them for numerous walks including a 5 mile walk at Pocahontas State Park! She also took great care of our house. We would definitely use her again!”


About: I have been the go to pet sitter since I was a kid. I love animals, and my friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets while they are away more than a few times! I enjoy spending time with animals and helping how I can. I work from home pretty regularly, and while I may have some obligations away from the home, it is typically never more than just a couple hours. Otherwise, I am available and at home. I never want a pet to feel like they are so out of their normal routine where they are unhappy, and am happy to cater to a families routine as long as notes are left!
About: I’ve been asked by many coworkers and friends to pet sit for them! I just thru hiked the AT this summer, so I’m willing to walk as far as your dog wants to. I grew up with an energetic German Shepherd named Comet. I am the most interested in pet sitting in the pet’s home environment. I just finished the Appalachian Trail this September, so I currently have a flexible schedule while job hunting. I can give pets exercise 2-3 times a day. In previous times I’ve pet sit, I’ve adapted to the pet’s normal routine to make them more comfortable while separated from their family! I try to read the needs of the pet and attend to that.
“This was the first time V dogsat for us and it was a wonderful experience! V was easy to communicate with, took excellent care of our pup, and even went above and beyond on caring for our home. Highly recommend!!”


“Andrew is an absolute gem! He went above and beyond to care for our three fur babies and our home while we were away for a long weekend. He sent adorable and hilarious pictures and was very responsive while we were away. He is also just an amazing person and conversationalist, and made us feel at ease leaving our pets and home in his care. Our home was clean when we came back—cleaner than we left it—and he even left us a delicious meal in the fridge! Five stars, 10/10, highly recommended!”

About: Hi there! I’m new to the Richmond area and can’t wait to explore the city, preferably with a furry friend (or two) by my side. I’ve been the go to pet sitter for family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors since 2007. Whether it’s playful pups, snuggly seniors, or quirky cats, I’ve cared for them all and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. • Super flexible schedule • Happy to stay in your home (I’m neat, respectful, and come with glowing references) • Excellent communicator and completely trustworthy with both pets and homes • Big believer in belly rubs, treat breaks, and whatever makes your pet happiest I can’t host pets in my own home but, I’m more than happy to travel or housesit wherever your fur baby feels most at home. I’d love to meet Richmond’s locals and give them all the love and care they deserve. My days are wide open and pet sitting is my favorite way to fill them! I am totally flexible and always happy to see a fur best friend! While I can’t offer boarding in my home (my cat kindly lets me live there), I’m happy to care for your pets in your home. I treat every house with respect and every pet with the same love, compassion, and excitement as if they were my own.

This was our first time using Rover and we hit the jackpot with Ezra! Our dogs absolutely adored him from the moment he arrived and were clearly so comfortable and happy in his care.

You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he’s watching. We felt so lucky to find him and would recommend Ezra to anyone in a heartbeat. Five stars isn’t enough!

Emily was such a lifesaver, staying at our home last minute and caring for our pup and 2 cats while we were away for our wedding weekend! She sent so many pictures and updates, we were so at ease knowing they were loved on while we were away. 100/10 recommend!!

Nancy did an amazing job looking after my dog and cat when I was away! She was very professional in our communication and she was also flexible with my changing schedule. Nancy also would share very cute pictures of both pets while I was away and kept me updated on how they were doing. I would highly recommend Nancy for anyone looking for a pet sitter and I will definitely keep her in mind when I’m looking for another sitter in the future!

Conrad went above and beyond with taking care of our two dogs! Super responsive, friendly, careful with their needs (1 is a reactive dog, other has anxiety and is accident prone). When my dog started limping mid-stay, Conrad made sure to notify me and follow instructions perfectly and administer medication. I felt very comfortable knowing that Conrad was taking care of them diligently, ensuring they had the love, company, and support they needed when we were away for 3 days.
Morgan is reliable, professional, and super communicative in caring for our dog & cat. We were able to enjoy a weekend away without worrying about our boys, knowing they were in great hands. Definitely recommend Morgan - we will be using her again in the future!

We try to rebook Maria whenever she is available. It’s so nice to come home from a trip knowing our needy pup has so well cared for, and we get that from Maria every time. She takes great care of our home and provides great communication and photo updates, which I love!

Amelia took incredible care of my senior pup. She took his health challenges in stride, navigating his pill dispensing and bathroom breaks with ease. She sent pictures and updates, left my home immaculate, and was so lovely during our meet and greet. Easily an above and beyond sitter, thank you again Amelia!
