About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs growing up and have worked with a variety of ages from puppies to elderly. I have 2 years of experience volunteering as a veterinary shadow intern and have confidence to providing for the needs of cats and dogs of all personalities. As a recent college graduate I have flexibility and time to reliably work as needed to provide care for pets. My schedule allows me to prioritize their routines, whether it’s daily visits or last minute bookings. I prefer to adapt approach to pets according to their needs, whether it’s calm and non confronting to shy cats or running with younger dogs. I also like to continue their routines that they are comfortable with. For owners, I keep regular updates as wanted to keep peace of mind.

“Cindy is amazing!”

About: Hello! Our names are Darling and Kolby. We have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and a wide variety of breeds. We have plenty of space to host your dog, including a fully fenced yard where they can safely play and explore. We currently have two cats and a Golden Aussie of our own, and we grew up surrounded by animals such as Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, Chihuahuas, Poodles, and more. Because of this, we are very comfortable managing a multi-pet household. If your pet has any allergies or special dietary needs, we are happy to accommodate them. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about your pet while you’re away, we’d be happy to help! I work remotely so I am able to spend more time with my dog during the day, and he gets to play in the yard for the majority of the day. We provide lots of exercise with yard play, walks and trips to the dog park. As well as mentally stimulating activities that our dog requires.

“Destiny is a great communicator, lets me know if anything is off on Teddys walks, and was able to improvise and find Teddy’s food when I forgot to do his meal prep this week! Teddy is loving his weekly walks, thank you Destiny!”

“Excellent and reliable care! DAMACIA was available with short notice planning and ensured that Bear got everything he needed. She even made sure he got excellent care on the rainy day and bear, like most pups, is not a fan of the rain. I highly recommend DAMACIA and will book with her again when I’m looking for help!”

About: I own 2 dogs and 2 cats myself, and have taken care of pets for family since I was young. I enjoy being around animals, and promise to take care of your pets as if they were my own. I have 13+ years of experience with dogs, including senior dogs and 5+ years of experience with cats of all personalities. I am currently working freelance, so I have lots of flexibility to take care of your pets. If you have a pet that requires extra attention, I can complete my work in your space, providing any amount of care needed such as timely medication or frequent potty breaks. I have cared for pets in other people homes multiple times and I will ensure your space stays neat and tidy, and will ensure your pet gets the best care in the safety of their own home.

“Nora is fantastic! She’s friendly, loved my energetic pup, and was easy to communicate with. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”

About: I moved to Richmond about a year ago, which meant leaving my two pups back home with their dad. As rural, born-and-bred dogs, city life just wasn’t the right fit for them. So now, I’m filling that gap by spending time with other people’s furry friends! I’ve become the go-to dog walker for my neighbors, and I genuinely love it—it gives me my weekly dose of wagging tails and happy walks. I’d love the chance to walk your dog and give them the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. Pet care is something I’ve naturally built into my weekly routine. Since moving to Richmond about a year ago and leaving my two dogs back home, I’ve really missed that daily connection with animals. Walking dogs has been the perfect way to stay active while still getting that time with furry companions. I regularly walk dogs for my neighbors, so I’m already used to planning my schedule around consistent walks and giving each dog dedicated attention. It’s something I genuinely look forward to each week—it doesn’t feel like a task, but more like a highlight of my day. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to fit walks into my routine in a way that works best for both you and your pup. I will provide attentive, personalized care based on each pets routine and personality, whether I’m in my client’s home or caring for them on a walk. I make sure every pet gets plenty of exercise, affection, and supervision, while sticking closely to any instructions the owner provides regarding feeding, leash use, or behavior preferences.

About: I have over a decade of professional pet care experience as well as a lifetime of personal pet care experience. I prefer to work with the elderly or medically complex pets as I know they need special attention, adherence to routines, and a calm environment. I focus on providing fun daycare and boarding for pets that don’t do well in regular boarding facilities and require a more home-like experience. Prices are negotiable after a meet and greet. Please fill out your profile in full before meeting! Incomplete/no profile image profiles will not be given my address. I work from home so I spend a majority of my day with my pets and guest pets. Dogs are given mostly free range inside and allowed outside into the huge fenced yard many times a day. They get playtime with other pets and alone time when needed. Our yard is fenced and our house is doggy proofed to avoid trash cans, toilets, and non-chewable items from being accessed. Dogs are crated when they can’t be supervised.

“She did so great with my dog!”

“Thank you for working with my anxious baby!”

“Katherine was great and our pup loved her! She is on time and very communicative. She also reinforced skills we practice when walking our dog. We’ll definitely use Katherine again!”

About: I have helped care for the family pets since I was age ten. I do not currently have a dog of my own but I have dog sat for family friends by walking, feeding, and playing with the dogs. I currently work full time, working 12 hour shifts from 7a-7p a few days a week and every other weekend. I always know my schedule ahead of time, so as long as there is open communication I’m sure we can make it work. I would also be able to assist in evenings with walks or drop in visits as needed as long as I have a heads up so I make sure I leave work at a decent time since I typically am able to leave between 7-7:15p. Feel free to reach out if you have questions. When training the family pets when I was younger we had them in crates at night, but now they sleep in the bed. I have dog sat for family friends that had a fenced in yard and others that the dogs needed to be walked a few times a day.

About: **Hablo español!** I am a huge animal lover with lots of pet care experience! I grew up with pets and have had a few of my own in my adulthood. Sadly, my senior pup, Ruth, recently passed away at around 13 years old. I miss her presence and am hoping to fill my extra time with caring for other people’s pets. I am familiar with pet medication administration and senior pet care. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! I am a lawyer with my own business, so I do not work a traditional 9 to 5 and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide pet care during the week and on weekends! I am responsible and detail-oriented. Since I have these traits, I will always pay strict attention to your instructions for your pet and be respectful of your home.

About: I grew up in a multi-cat household and now own 5 cats between my parents and myself! There's no kitty I can't handle - from super social, to shy, to very sassy, I'm known to be able to form a bond with every cat that comes into my care. I'm also a lover of all animals, I owned fish and lizards and have spent a lot of time helping walk and take care of my family's dogs. My animals are my life, and I've been on Rover for almost four years now! I also have a lot of experience working for Happy Cats Concierge LLC in Reston, VA, where I provided a range of services for cats of various quantities, ages, and personalities. Whether your furry friend needs a playmate, cuddle buddy, bodyguard, or just someone to stop by for food and medicine - I got you! My schedule is open and my day-to-day is flexible! Any specific dates I’m unavailable will be reflected on my calendar. Please message me with any other scheduling questions. Inside, outside, leash or no leash, crate, etc., I will honor the owner's wishes for where their furry friend needs to be spending their time. I value consistent routines and attentiveness while your pet is in my care. All of my services will be based in the client's home or neighborhood.

“Cant be happier with the overall experience. Very easy to work with, very responsive and great for a last minute booking! 10/10”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 14 years old. My neighbors have trusted me to watch their pets for extended periods of time. I love all animals! I work from home until the summer so my schedule is very flexible! I can walk your dog most of the day during the week. I provide loving, attentive, and responsible care for pets in my home and/or my client's home. I make sure each pet has fresh food and water, a clean and comfortable environment, regular exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, routines, and special needs. I also provide companionship, monitor their health and behavior, and keep owners updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
